THE SUPERIOR COURT.
THE CASE OP STANFORD TS
ELLINGTON UP.
(i crnor Carr and Swretary of
State Coke are IVpsvut
la the superior court today the jury
in the case of A. J. Dsment vs J. J.
Johuson found in favor of the latter,
so Dement has to pay him (500.
The case of the deaf-mute school at
Morganton against the deaf, dumb
and blind institution here came np.
The question it as to whisb institu
tion is entitled to a bequest of $8,000
which in 1854 was made by John Ksl
ley of (Orange county for the educa
tion of poor deaf-mutes. The Mor
ganton school claims it is entitled to
11 of this. The institution here,
which has a deaf-mute department for
oolored pupils, claims that the latter
is entitled to. part at least of the be
quest. The Morganton school denies
this claim by saying that in 1854,
when the bequest was made, negroes
were not citizens in law and the be
quest was therefore made entirely to
the white race.
This afternoon the case of E. D.
Stanford of Yadkin county against
. ('. Ellington, involving title to the
Hice of state librarian, came up.
dlsuford, who was one of the clerks
ol tire last bouse, is present, as is also
Sattertield, principal clerk of the
house. Gov. Carr, secretary of state
Coke and librarian Ellington are also
present. Of counsel there are for
Stanford Messrs. J. C. MacRae, W. H.
Day, T. R. Purnell and Spier Whita
ker, these being the same as the coun
sel for the fusion board of peniten
tiary directors, as this case involves the
same points as the penitentiary case.
Messrs. Shepherd and Busbee and E.
W. Pou are Ellingtou's counsel.
The first point which came up was
as to the production of the journals
of the house and senate on the day
the election of Stanford took place.
The couusel for Stanford contended
that the secretary of state's presence
could be compelled by this court.
Judge Starbuok held that it could
not.
Then Stanford made affidavit that
it was necessary to have the secretary
of state produce in court the official
journals of the house and senate for
he day in question. This point was
aruily argued, Messrs. Arraistead
Jones and J. B. Batchelor appearing
for Coke. The latter also addressed
the court. His side carried the day.
Judge Starbuck said that the public
records of this kind cannot be carried
around the state, and yet he hated to
see the case delayed. He said that
Stanford ought to have had a certified
copy of the journals. The judge told
Capt Coke he decided for him and then
suggested that as a courtesy the lal.
ter have the records brought : to the
oourt. To this Capt. Coke at once as
sented. He said he would do all he
could to expedite the matter.
Mr. C. M. Busbee, on behalf of El.
lington, denied Stanford's demand for
the office of librarian. He said his
side had a copy of the senate journal,
and offered to allow the other side to
use this, v

HOLLAND CIVES DOND.
HE
WAS RELEASED FROM
CUSTODY TODAY.
District Attorney Glenn Says he
Intend to Kind Out Where lie
Was Hidden.
The Charlotte Observer of today
says that it is possible for a man to find
omfort and pleasure in jail, such ex
perience is bank ex-cashier J. R. Hol
land's. He breakfasted, and in fact took all
his meals with sheriff Smith' family,
and the sheriff kindly gave him the
use and liberty of his parlor yester
day in which to see his friends.
Fo? the first time since last Tues
day night bis wife saw him last
night. She went to the jail after
dark in company with Mr. Shaw, her
brother, and remained for an hour or
so. She was greatly relieved at his
surrender. Like him, she preferred
his being in the penitentiary, where
she could hear and communicate with
him, to his being free and in exile.
When discussing the amount of
bond which Holland must give, U. 8.
district attorney Glenn remarked that
he thought a $20,000 bond and teu
years in th pehitentiary would satis
fy ths government. "Do you suppose
he will be sent for so long a term?"
asked the Observer. "I don't know,"
said Mr. Glenn, "that is with judge
Dick. Five years, you know is the
very least he can get."
"Not." said Mr. Gleno, "if every
man, woman and child in the town
went down on their knees to the judge.
He might appeal to comptroller Eck
els; ha is the only one who oould
shorten the term of years.
Rev. Dr. Preston, the pastor of Hol
land's churoh, the First Presbyterian,
saw him alone. What passed between
them no one knows, but Holland ap
peared much more bright and cheer
ful after a talk with his pastor. Dr.
Preston approves of his action in sur
rendering himself. Yesterday was
the first time he had seen Holland
since the beginning of the end.
District attorney Glenn said, speak
ing of the bank's affairs aud of Hol
land's big steal, said : " I am not sat
isfied with this business yet; I am go
ing to pribe it to the very bottom,
and I am going to get comptroller
Eckles to issue an order giving me
power to have bank examiner Miller
go through the bank. I never expect to
stop until I know all. I can't under
stand what Holland has done with so
much money, not to have lived more
extravagantly than he has."
One of Mr. Glun's first ques
tions, referring, of course to Holland,
was " where has he been hidden?"
" No one knows," said the Observer.
Well, I will know," said Mr. Glenn,
"or else he will have to swear a lie."
"Would any one harboring him be lia
ble to indictment 1" asked the Observ
er. " I think they would," said Mr.
Glenn." " Even before a warrant was
taken out ?" " Yes ; he was a crim
inal just the same, before as after the
warrant," said Mr. Glenn.
At Cost.
I offer my entire stook of groceries
and ean goods at cost to parties wish

A Card irvi the Water Work Co.
Ralik.ii Water Wobis Co.,
Raliiou. N. C, April 30, 1895.
A local notice of the deadly sulphu
ric acid in the city water in this morn
ing's paper probably require some
notice at my hands because the pat
rons of the company may become dis
satisfied, and to them and others I de
sire to call attention to the fact that
the analysis made in Dr. Battle's
office by a chemist is not official, and
that the snlphurio acid found its way
into the water in August, 1S92, and a
thorough examination of the water,
both chemical and biological, was
made in January, 1893, and the result
of it, published in the News and Ob
server by Dr. Jamas McKee, president
of the board of health, disclosed the
fact tha$ the water was unusually
pure and good for all purposes. It is
now more than three years since the
acid entered the water, and common
sense should teaoh us that the constant
dilution of ths acidulated water would
free it by this time. Dr. McKee asked
me for specimens of water last Satur
day for examination, and after exam
ination he will report officially on its
condition.
Very respectfully,

Ex-judge Spier Whitaker says he
has only one platform now, this being
the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1
ratio. He will vote for the party,
whichever it may be, which makes
this the issue in the campaign.
Ex state democratic chairman Sim
mons, says he has for some
months believed that there would be
no fusion of populists and republicans
in the next campaign, but that which
ever party puts up a silver candidate
for the presidency will absorb the
populists.
Ex-congressman John Nichols is a
