Now a Reward for Ills Capture is
Offered.
Governor Carr this morning offered
a reward of (50 for tba captors of
W iliam Craige, alias William Gad
b ry, who has committed murder in
Yiikio county. The reward was of
f I'd on the recommendation of the
solicitor f that county.
Do March 19. h Craige murdered a
woman, his paramour, named Lissie
Carter. The murder was most re
volting one fttd Craige escaped. Us
is Htiil in th couaty it is thought and
the solicitor's opinion is that a (50
reward will "letch him from the
bushes." It is generally the eastom
in some of the western counties
for a murder to go into hiding, wait
for an offered reward, give up to a
friend and have the reward money to
defend himself with.

Superior court convened this morn
ing at 0.30 o'clock. The first ease to
came np on the docket was the famous
Cram bigamy rasa, but it never came
to trial. On motion of Col. T. M
Argo, counsel for the state, the casn
was again continued. It is very
donbtful if the case will ever be tried,
as the plaintiff is said to be anxious
for a compromise.
A case that is of considerable inter
est is that of state vs Q S. Adams, for
enticing a servant. It seems that C.
R. Ilay, who lives in the same town
ship with Adams, accused him of hav
ing enticed away a black-smith with
whom he had a contract. There is a
statute forbidding this. The case waB
continued froji yesterday and this
morning the jury returned the ver
dict "not guilty."
State vs William Jeffries, 1. and r.,
plead guilty, four months on roads.
State vs Robt. Boat, c. o. w., plead
guilty, judgment suspended on pay
ment of costs.
The case of state vs Mamie House
created a good deal of excitement in
the court room. She plead guilty of
keeping a disorderly house and, on
payment of costs, judgment was sus
pended. State vs. Columbus Leach, for the
larceny of a particularly large and
fine pair of brogans from a brother
colored man, was called After an ex
oiting trial, (for Columbus) his inno
cence was established to the satisfac
tion of the jury.
The case of state vs Geperal At
water, a colored thief with a high
sounding name, was on trial when the
Visitor went to press.
BOTH SENT TO COURT.
Chas. Bray and "Red Lizza" Will
Probably Suffer Equally.
In the mayor's court this morning
the case of Charles Bray, who, as told
in yesterday afternoon's Visitor, tried
hie best to murder a colored woman
named Hattie Powell, but better known
as " Red Lizza," on the Bowery, came
np.
; Witnesses were examined and a clear
case made out against Bray. It seems
the,trouble arose from Hattie ordering
Briy from her house. He is a delicate
looking boy, not more than 20 years
old, and if the matter had settled
down to a physical tussle "Red Lizza"
would probably have came off vic
torious. Bray was sent to court under a $100
bond, and, as Hattie is a tough char
acter, she was also sent on to court.
"It can be shown by policemen that
she has often been here, charged with
drunk and disorderly," said Chief
Heartt. "Yes, and I've been paying
ferit,"said "Red" defiantly. Rut
she went on to court, all the same.

Thiw. Bnx k well Atlai kuCol. Argo
Oh Arc omit of Ridicule.
When the eaie of state vs. the Moore
brothers for astau't with deadly wea
pon upon Tuoh. Brockwell was called
in superior court Monday. Col. T. M.
Argo appeared for the Moores.
As the esse progressed Cel. Argo
sought to help out his i-ase by holding
up Brockwell the man who was cut, to
ridicule aul scorn. The colonel can
do this more successfully, perhaps,
than any other attorney in Raleigh
and has exhibited this trait to advan
tage often bef ire in the court house.
Now Col. Arh'o may have meant no
per9.ual iusult to Mr. Brockwell but
might have indulged in the language
he used entirely for professional rea
sons Be that as it may, Mr. Brock
well took the remarks as strictly per
sonal and was as mad as a wet hen,
aciordingly. "I'll whip Argo. the
first time I see him on the street," he
is reported to have said as he left the
court house.
This morning Mr. Brockwell met
Col. Argo and, as might have been ex
petced, a firfht ensued. Mr. Brockwell
first abused Col. Argo in a good dal
plainer terms than the Col. abused
him yesterday. Then he suddenly
snatched Col. Argo's stick from his
had and commenced to belabor him
with it. Col. Argo, of course, resist
ed manfully and the fljjht waed hot
for Heveral-minutes. Then bystand
ers pa'ted the combatants and the
fight was ended; Mr. Brockwell had
satisfied himself and Col. Argo was
very little the worse for the encoun;
ter.

tank, Warren and Gaston.
It is evident that the criminal courts
of the various counties are now in full

convicts from Pasquotank, Warren
and Gaston counties.
Yesterday afternoon four were
brought in by the sheriff' of Pasquo
tank and one from Warren county.

EFFECTS OF THE LAW.
Farmers Who Wanted to Give
Mortgage Turned Dow n.
The farmers of Wake county are
now truly in a deplorable condition.
Many of them are poor, too poor to
raise a crop, or even to live until har
vest time without borrowing money,
and under the new law, reported yes
terday they cannot now do this. '
Today several farmers felt the
sting of the legislature's action.
Knowing nothing of the passage of
the "assignment bill" they came to
town this morning in the hope of giv
ing mortgage on their crops or prop
erty to borrow money with which to
raise their next year's crop.
But when they went to their old
lenders, the merchants, they met with
a cold reception. Kindly but firmly
the merchants refused. "No money
loaned now on mortgages," was the
general reply. And ever and anon a
loud and vigorous country oath went
quivering through the still air.
Ex-Judge John Gray Bynum was
fined $50 for contempt of Morganton
court.
