Mrs. Maggie Peebles is critically ill.

this was what was done today.

ALL ABOUT DOUGLASS
Allot Time in tbe House this
Morning.
A resolution intreduced by' repre
sentee Lusk, eondemuing the demo
cratic press of the state for misrepre
senting the legislature about the ad
journment in honor of Douglass was
tbe t-egining of one of the hottest de
bates that hs yet occurred in the
house.
The speeches were hot and severe
and several times the representatives
got on personalities. Representative
Henderson mape a particular bit
tter speech, charging the democrats
with voting for the adjournment in
order to get tbe populists and repub
licans "in a hole." He was frequent
ly interrupted by Mr. Ray, who at
one time said, "Why, Mr. Speaker,
he has no regard for whatever." No
regard for what?" shouted Henderson,
"The truth," answered Mr. Ray,
while the house laughed.
Mr. Lusk, in a spirit of fun said
that Mr. Ray had voted for adjourn
mentand asked him if he denied the
charge, That gentleman faid that he
did deny it whereupon Mr. Lusk said
he would get a respectable man to
prove it. Mr. Ra's reply was that
any man who said he voted for the
resolution was not respectable.
There wns quite a deal of fun
sprinkled throughout the debate but
it was evident, also, that there was
much bad feeling existing. Several
others spoke and the resolution was
finally passed by a strict party vote,
the democrats votihg no; the fusion
ists, aye.
LEXINGTON'S RIOT
l)R. ROBERT PAYNE'S
CRl SUED.
HEAD
He Is Drad and Three Other Men
Kipji-md as Dead.
A telegram from Lexington says that
early this morning therein a quar
rel between Baxter Shemwell, a well
known young man of Lexington, and
Dr. Lee Payne. They separated. Dr.
Payne went to lis office, where he was
with his father. Dr. Robert Payne,
they being partners. Dr. Payne the
elder is an ancle of Mrs. Z. V. Wal
ser. It appears that there was an
other quarrel at the office. Shem
well broke Dr. Robert Payne's skull.
Then a crowd gathered on the
streets snd a riot resulted, with
IndiscrimiLate shooting, in which
several persons were hurt. This
shooting continued sometime, until
weapons were emptied. Them Shem
well went off and got several shotguns
He was on his way back with these,
when his wife rushed out to stop him
and declared she would die before
he should pass her.
A telegram at 4:30 o'clock says thai
Dr. Payne is dead and that three other
men are also dead, shot by Shem
well. Interest here in the affair is
naturally great. The excitement at
Lexington has been terrible all day.
Shemwell has been in trouble before.
He was in one fight shot through the
body thrice by one of his uncles.
Once he took possession of a car at
Lexington and raised a great row.
OVER THBJANISTER
Fell Jim Moody, Jr. He Was Bably Hurt
But is Better Today.
Yesterday afternoon young Jim
Moody, a son of senator Moody, of
Haywood, narrowly escaped serious
injury and it was sustained painful
injuries on aceou.at Jof an accident
which it is simply wonderful does not
happen to every little page, nearly, in
the legislature.
Yesterday afternoon young Moody,
with other companions, was amusing
himself by sliding down the banister
on the steps in the. capital leading to
the halls of the legislature. The ban
ister has been worn by succeeding
generations of sliding boys until it is
smooth as glass and affords a splen
did toboggan slide for the boys. Af
ter he had slid down successfully sev
eral times he tried it again, bat this
time, in some way, he fell when he
was only half way down. The unfor
tunate little boy struck the paved
floor, face downwards. He was 'com
pletely stunned and it was at first
thought he was fatally injured.
His face and head were badly bruised
and he has suffered greatly from the
shock.
This morning he was much improv
ed and there is no reason for his fa
thrr to be alarmed about his condi
tion. Senator Moody is probably the'
most popular senator. He has hosts
of friends, in and out of the legisla
ture, who will be glad to learn his son
is oat of danger.
in a STUPOR.
Dr. Rogers, who was called in to at
tend young Moody, was seen by a
Visitor reporter this afternoon. He
said that the little fellow's injuries
consisted of a broken arm and severe
bruises on the face. He has been in a
stupor for the most of the day and it
is feared that his skull may be frac
tured. It is hoped, however, that such
is not the case. Nothing can be said
definitely, as yet.
Funeral.
The funeral services of the late Mr
John Waters, were conducted at his
late residence, Friday morning at 10
o'clock, the Rev. Dr. Marshall officia
ting. Mr. 'Waters leaves a devoted
widow and a large number of relatives
and friends to mourn his death. He
was insured in the "Legion of honor"
for $2000, having been a policy hol
der for several years. A quiet, gen
erous and highly respected citizen has
paid the debt. The following gentle
men acted as paul bearers: Messrs.
A. B. B. Forest, W. H. Martin, W. H.
Bunch, John Bashford, P. H. Hughes
and S. G. Ryan.
John Morgan Green, Esq., of Dur
ham, arrived on the afternoon soutkr

A FORTY NINER
Who Sticks to His Old Trade He Says His
Mine is a "Good Thing."
In the city today is a gentleman
who migrated to California in '49
when the gold fever was at its height
and who worked in that state and Da
kota fir nine vears in search of tht
precious metal. He did not get fab
ulously rich but he got a great detfl oi
experience which may yet put him in
to a position to pay the government a
big tax on his income.
The gentleman is Mr. Bryan Tyson,
of Prosperity, Moore county, and hi
is here to organize a company to worl
his gold mine at that place. Thi
history of the mine is a queer one; 1
was first owned by northern men wbi
employed two men to run the mint
and report on its condition. Thes
men found the mine a good one anc
wished to get possession of it them
selves so they reported it was "N. G.'
The capitalists then sold it at a grea
sacrifice to parties from whom Mr
Tyson obtained an option, t hen tbi
two experts arrived ana wanted to buj
it. The purchasers were amateur
and sold to Mr. Tyson who is nov
working it.
He says that there is one very val
uable vein of are and that if his
plans mature he will undoubtedly
have a very good thing. Besides be
ing an experienced forty-niner, Mr.
Tyson is an inventor.having invented a
new and improved machine tor "mul
ing" gold. North Carolina gold mine
have never panned out well but Mr.
Tyson thinks this one will. Jnvt
tons of ore taken, as a test from tht
mine, were worth $145.00 per ton.
