Hon. Ed. W. Pou, Solicitor, was on
hand to prosecute for the State.
Clerk G. L. Tonnoffski, Sheriff H. T.
Jones and his deputies had all processes

Dudley Peed, Esq., was sworn as bai

For the first time In a long time there
is not a capital felony on the docket,
except that of Jim Booker, awaiting
the action of the Supreme Court upon
an appeal. There are 12 cases carrying
concealed weapons, 10 cases assault
with deadly weapons, 12 cases larceny,
3 of perjury, 2 of seduction, 2 of forgery,
2- slanfjer, 1 house-breaking, the others

somewhat of a sensation occurred. Jail

prisoners for his honor to gaze upon.
Among the prisoners was one, George
Huner. a very unassuming looking ne
gro, from whom one would not expect
anything out of the ordinary. George
has been confined in jail on the charges
of assault with deadly weapon and also
carrying concealed weapons. No sooner
did George find himself in the court
roor than he Immediately proceeded
to tumble in a fit. It was not an ordi
nary epileptic fit either for he began
violent and fierce convulsions. Sev
eral deputies and spectators seized the
negro and attempted to hold him. Eight
strong men were necessary to restrain
the negro and it required all their uni
ted strength.
The affair completely interrupted
court proceedings, and it was a half
an hour before Judge Bryan could pro
ceed with the docket.

LATE lK. JOHN HALL
TVivte Ben Hardy Grant. d an Fxt.-n
si. n of Mis Kuril u.h-Kiglit I hoiis
and Applications for D scharge.
WASHINGTON. D. C. Sept. 26
Sunday here was one of the quietest
days that has passed since the destruc
tion of the Maine and for the first time
has the office of the Adjutant General
been closed for an hour either at day
or night, and then It was only for an
hour that business was not transacted
in his office. There were, however,
many subjects Interesting the people
of this city and the subjects were of
national and inter-natlonal importance,
the politicians, who, by the way. con
stitute about ninety per cent of the
wide-awake inhabitants, discussed the
Roosevelt case and the diplomats, such
as they are, talked of the recent decree
of the Emperor of China. Both Roose
velt and the Chinese Empire are
thought to be condemned, and it really
looks as though schemers were work-
ng against Colonel Roosevelt In New
York, and in Europe against the Chi
nese Empire.
A New York gentleman, who is a
member of the Presbyterian .church so
recently presided over by the late Dr.
John Hall, was here yesterday and in
speaking of the wonderful career of
the noted divine brought up the sub
ject of his probable successor. He said
that it was not vet improbable that
the Rev. Peyton H. Hoge, of Wilming
ton, would be considered as a successor
and that if Dr. Halt had lived three
months Dr. Hoge would certainly have
been the pastor of that great church.
In this connection there is quite an in
teresting incident that was related by
a Richmond man who was here yester
day, and who savs that he has often
heard the storv and believes it to be
true. He said that when the civil war
broke out or just after the war had
ended Dr. Moses Hoge. of Richmond,
father of Dr. Hoge. of Wilmington, w.is
pastor of the church' In New York and
that on account of certain statements
made by him, in reference to the war,
he was relieved of his charge by the
congregation. There was no kick on
the part of the venerable divine from
Richmond, for he had said only what
he believed to be true, but there to i
natural resentment for other reasons
and l.o determined in the end to v ;n
oyer tlie congregation at the Fifth Av
enue church. Since then he has watch
ed with pride the rapid advances made
by son and it was his one hope
that his son should become the pastor
of the charge of which he had be"Ti
relieved. He had longed for this to come
true during his own life time thai hf
m!?ht fee the victory, but now il i
saM he l.a r'most given up hope since
Ki.ir." older man will probably taki
eh:ir'.e and a younger man become tne
assistant. Whether the story is true
tn the lrtter or not there is a deal of
fact in it. End it is to be hoprd that
the father may yet see the son in s'ic'i
itn important and prominent position.
My informant said that on Dr. Peyton
Hige's recent visit to New York he
charmed his hearers In the Fifth Ave
nue church, where Dr. Hall had so of
ten held services.
The War Department has extended
the furlough of Private Ben Hardy, Ci.
K .. First Regiment, for fifteen days on
account of sickness and at the end of
that time he will be granted an honor
able discharge from the service.
There are on file In the War Depart
ment over X.00P applications for honom
ble tlischarRes from the volunteer tr
r.iy. and not one of these will be grant
ed until thev have been approved by
the various officers of the man deiic
!ng the discbarge. This will consume
an Incalculable length of time and when
the applications again reach the De
partment it will be about the time orig
inally intended for the muster out of
the entire volunteer forces.

fore Justice of the Peace John Nichols

necessary to examine many witnesses
to establish a clear case against the
defendant. Several negroes swore that
they went to the back window of Fer
rall's bar, stuck a bottle and some
money in the window and soon had
the bottle returned filled with liquor.
The white men testified that they sim
ply walked In tbe bar and called for a
drink and received that which their
stomach desired.

under a $100 bond. He put up $100 in
spot cash for his appearance.
YOM KIPPUR.
Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atone
ment, began at sundown yesterday.
It was the beginning of the tenth
day of the year 5659, which was ushered
in on the evening of the I6th. The most
devout members of the race will abstain
from all food for 24 hours.
The dav of atonement is regarded
as the most solemn and holy of all the
Jewish holidays, and its observance is
always very imperative. In olden times
it was customary for th'e men to wear
their burial raiment to the synagogue
on Yom Kippur.
Services, where there is a synagogue,
began at 6 o'clock Sundav night, the
members having eaten their evening
meal beforhand. They will not eat
food of any kind or drink anything until
three stars appear on the following
day. At an early hour Monday morning
the members meet and begin their de
votions, which continue throughout the
entire dav. When three stars appear
the shofar, or ram's horn. Is blown to
signify that the day of atonement is at
an end.
During the first ten days of the new
year, according to the orthodox Jew's
belief, the fate of every person for the
whole year is determine, the book of
life then being sealed until the next
year begins.
The memorial service for the dead,
which is always field in the afternoon
is an important part of the observance
of the holiday. The rabbi or the cha
zan reads a special prayer for the oc
casion, and calls over the name of all
the members of the congregation who
have died during the past year.
Mr. L. Stanley Morehead, the repre
sentative of the celebrated piano firm,
Wm. Knabe & Co., of Baltimore, Is a
visitor In the city. Mr. Morehead is a
member of the famous Rough Riders
not Teddy's Regiment but of the

clever gentleman, and It Is a real pleas
ure to his Raleigh friends to welcome
him to the city.

Teachei a
The room in the Raleigh public
schools is found entirely inadequate to
accommodate all the children who de
sire to attend. The school committee
held a session late Saturday afternoon
they realized then the absolute neces
sity for more school room, hence Mayor
William Russ and Superintendent E. P.
Moses were appointed a committee to
look about for some obtainable build
ing where some of the children can be
taught. This will relieve the crowded
condition of the other two schools. This
sub-committee will report back to the
school committee at an early date.
Two teachers and two assistant
teachers were elected at this session of
the school committee. The teachers
elected were:
Miss Sarah Kirby, of Raleigh.
Miss Nannie Skinner of Raleigh.
The assistant teachers chosen were:
Miss Hattie Weir and Miss Sally
Whitaker both of Raleigh.
Miss Kirby is a daughter of Dr. Kir
by, superintendent of the Central Hos
pital for the Insane, and Miss Skinner
is the daughter of Professor Skinner of
the A. and M. College. Both of these
young ladies were educated largely in
Raleigh and their election is a compli
ment to the city as well as to them
selves. Today the new teachers were assign
ed to the schools. MIbs Mary MacRae,
Miss Sarah Kirby and Miss Nannie
Skinner and Miss Hattie Weir weic as
signed to the Centennial school while
Miss Strudwick and Miss Sally Whita
ker will teach Ft the Murphy.
The total enrollment of children in
the two white schools today reached the
number 1,096; the enrollment at the
Centennial is 550 and at the Murphy
546.
On account of the crowded condition
of the schools two-thirds of the chil
dren at the Murphy school can attend
only half of a day, until some satis
factory arrangement can be made for
another building.
One hundred pupils at the Centennial
school will attend only half a day.
A report has been circulated that the
name of the Centennial school would
be changed to the "Zeb Vance School,"
and the report found Its way into the
columns of the Charlotte Observer
through its Raleigh correspondent. A
member of the school committee said
today that there was absolutely no
truth in the report and that it had
never been mentioned at a committee
meeting.
