A HORRIBLE CRIME. For Which Four Men Ought to Be Hanged. Governor Carr today offered rewards of (100 ea. h for three men who richly deserve the worst punishment the law can inflict. One night last month four men, Charles Bridgers, "Bud" Harris, Will Downes and Plat.. I'.ramlett, broke into the house of Mrs. Bryant, in Iron Duff township, Haywood coun ty. There was a Are in the fireplace. The men brought water in th-ir hats and put out the fire. They broke down the door and rushed in.

The other villians seized Mrs. Bryant's daughter, Jane, 23 years old. and repeatedly outraged her, in the most I rutal manner.

Local data for 24 hours ending a. m. today: Maximum temperature 85; Minimum temperature 70; rainfall trace. The center of high pressure is over the north Atlantic states. It gradu ally diminishes toward the south and west. There seems to be a storm in the gulf. The barometer is relatively low in that vicinity and heavy rains have occurred at Key West and Tampa. These conditions (low baro meter over gulf region and high bar ometer over New England) causes cloudy weather and northerly winds in the Atlantic states. There is an area of low pressure over the north ern lake region which has caused heavy rain at Chicago and light rain at other stations in that section. High pressure and cooler, fair weather appears in the northwest. An Unfortunate Affair. The account of a terrible outrage comes from Danville. A prominent tobacco manufacturer, Thos. J. Penn, committed a criminal assault upon a colored girl, Lina Hanna, 11 years of age, in his own factory. He was ar rested and was admitted to . bail in $1,500. He was re-arrested Saturday afternoon. The re-arrest was at the suggestion of the commonwealth's at torney who had come in possession of new evidence. This was that of three physicians who examined the in jured girl.

The South Carolina state prison has yielded up to justi. e in this state a re markable criminal in the persou of Hoke Secrest. He passed through Charlotte yesterday, heavily ihaiued, in charge of offl er Perry, of Morgan ton, who was conveying him ba-k to Burke connty for trial. Secret had been serving a two years' term in the penitentiary at Columbia for inhu manly treating one of his wives in Spartanburg. He went under th' name of B. K. Gray. His term f im prisonment was up, aud as he was re leased, Perry was there with a reqisi- ion to briug hiin back to North t aro lina. Before leaving Columbia with his prisoner, Perry told something ol Secrest's career in this state. Twelve years ago becrest went to I nion, n. C, and married a young girl about 3 o'clo.k in the afternoon, on a certain day. The same day, out iu the couu try in North ( arolina, she was most brutally murdered. It seems that the scoundrel left the train w ith her, mur dered her, and then taking a spade, duir-a irrave and buried her. It is said that he killed a daughter by a previous marriage. For this crime he was tried and con victed and sentenced to be hanged, Then-he played the insane dodge suc cessfully, and managed to raise s much doubt in the minds of the exam ining physicians as to his sanity that he was sent to the asylum at Raleigh. After he had been in the asylum for a short time he dug his way out through the walls. Then he went to 'South Carolina took the name of Gray. He was soon convicted and served a term in tail for larceny. After this the North Carolina authorities got hold of him again and chucked him into the western insane asylum at Morgan ton. He again escaped, and this time went to Spartanburg, and, it is said, married a woman there. He soon made a brutal attack on her children and got two years in the penitentiary for assault and battery. He was given the alternative of a line, but refused to pay the money although he had it After he went to Columbia he wrote t the wife to send him his money, The penitentiary authorities in the mean time had investigated a little,' and they found out that he was the North Carolina Secrest. . They told his wife to hold what money she had, and no tified the North Carolina authorities. Special agent Perry states that, in accordance with governor Carr's in structions, he was taking his prisoner to Morganton. He says it is now clearly proven by the statements oi the South Carolina prison authorities that the man's insanity was alia dodge, and it was more than likely that he would, in the next month or two, be given another trial, be con victed and finally be made to pay the penalty of his brutal crime. Secrest is a man of about 42 years of age, tall and sinewy, has high cheek bones and keen eyes. His countenance is for bidding, and his whole appearand" is that of the brutal and hardened ciun inal. -Charlotte News. Military Commissions Were issued by Gov.
