Convicted of Murder In the First Degree And Sentenced to be Hanged on the 30th'of November. It was just flveminutes of 10 o'clock this morning when deputy sheriff Brooks, having received word from the constable, notified judge Bynuiu that the jury in the Mills case had agreed upon a verdict. Instantly a hush fell over the crowded court room and eyes were turned on the grave, faced jury men who were slowly filing into the room from the jury roem. In they came, up to "the jury box, with slow, deliberate steps. Lawyers, spectators, witnesses aud Ransom Brodie, who himself had been indicted for murder, more eagerly than all, s anned the faces of the jurors to read, if possi ble, their verdict. And the man to whom their verdict meant more than any other man in the world seemed almost unconcerned. On came the jury, aud when they li.ih seated themselves in the jury li -x the c 1 r k asked in his deep tones, "Gentlemen, have you agreed upon your verdict? Who shall speak for you?" aud back came the answer: "Mr. Lowry."' "George Mills, stand up and hold up your right hand," said the clerk, and after he complied came the solemn command, "Jury, look upon the prisoner; prisoner.look upon the jury. What say you, gentlemen, is the prisoner guilty or not guilty?" Then the prisoner lost some of his composure, his repulsive mouth opened and his lips moved but no sound is sued from them. His eyes moved rap idly from side to side. But suddenly the answer came from the jury, "Guil ty!" Of what?" asked the judge "Murder in the first degree," answer' ed Mr. Lowry. Mills sat down as if he had been shot and immediately subsided into his .usual stolidity. Then the formal polling of the jury was gone through with and each juror arose and solemnly said: "Guilty of murder in the first degree." Judge Bynura then thanked the jurors and told them they might prove their attendance and go home aud the twelve men filed out. At 12:55 o'clock, after the remain der of the .docket of 124 cases had either been disposed of or continued, judge Bynum asked solicitor Pou if he was ready to proceed with No. 51, the Mills case. Mr. Argo hastened to his client's ;' side and whispered to him to say nothing, "Mills grinned ap preciatively, and during the whole of the judge's talk and while the death sentence was being passed upon him not a sound escaped his lips or an expression of any sort crossed his re pulsive features. Judge Bynum before passing the death sentence made a few kindly re marks to the prisoner, warning him not to expect a new trial from the Su preme court or to expect executive clemency. Pardon, he said, was not for him on this earth; perlfaps there was before a higher tribunal, and he advised the prisoner, not as his judge but as liis fellow-man, to prepare him self during the short time left him on earth for his appearance there.' He then sentenced him to be hung on Friday, the 30th day of November, between the hours of 10 a. m. and 3 p. m. Mr. T. M.Argo, of Mills' counsel, then took an appeal to the supreme court. 'Thus ends the m.ost horrible, re volting and disgusting trial that has ever taken place in Wake county court and one, at least, of the guilty persons must now make atonement for his crime on the gallows. Baseball Notes. The New York and the Baltimore baseball teams are now playing a se ries of seven games, for the " Temple cup," and each club gets half the gate receipts. Two games have thus far been played and New York won both The Baltimore players are in bad hut mor. ' In fact there is bad blood be tween these noted clubs, which stand respectively first and second in the league. Today the third game was played, at New York. Chestnuts at Dughi's. Just receiv ed.

This morning after the jury in the Mills case had given in their verdirt. taking of testimony iu the Ransom Brodie murder triiil w.i beun. The testimony brought out t lie fact that Wiggins, the murdered man. Lad been heard to threaten to shoot Brodie. The prisoner proved a good character and the evidence whs mostly in his favor. What caused his long term was the fact that the ball that caused the deceased, death entered in the lift k part of his shoulder. Perrin Busbeeand W. B. Siio.v, Esq., repre sented the defendant aud Harry Ihrie aud A. B. Andrews, Esq., the state. Messrs. Snow, Busbee and Ihrie all made clear and creditable arguments and A. B. Andrews, Esq., assisted in conducting the examination for the state. Right have a word should lie said iu praise of these youngest lawyers of the Raleigh bar. They have only re cently obtained their licenses but their work as counsel in the several cases in which they have appeared during this term of court stamps them as "coming men" and young gentle men who will be an honor to their profession and of whom Raleigh may well be proud. After the conclusion of the argu ment judge Bynum sentenced the prisoner to 15 years in the peniten tiary, the limit of the law. No one expected, severe a punishment and surprised "whews" could be heard from several parts of the room. " tTietiTer..

We believe in plenty of money so you can spend it where you please. We believe in plenty of offices, so all can have one. We believe also in North Carolina for the reasonthat many of the inhabitants-are patronizing D T.

We are selling protections at 6 .apiece, ;' in the shape of a fall overcoat that is worth !?10, really. Another protection we are selling is in carpets. We prote t you in the safe keeping of about one third of the price, as we think it our duty to do so. Another protection we are dispensing is in dress goods, for our duty is to stive you dress goods with the duty off so you can get a nice dress and a nice, stylish hat for a'-.out the same amountof money that the dress alone would cost you whenlhigh tarut ran the concern. So, if you are free to trade where you please, remember these facts and act in accordance to your good judgment. If you run an account and belong to some one, then you need to read the emancipation proclamation and see where you stand. ' Very respectfully, ; D. T. Swindell.
