"He alwuE come to meals 'cept when he had holy spells on him." ' Oh, he's got old scratch in him." flashed the witness at Attorney Norris. The defendant is about 45 years old, dark complexioned TVith a grey beard. Rev. Green Steven took the stand and said that he did nothing but travel and preach for six years. He made a good living farming until six years since, when he went to Durham and had charge of four churches until he gof 'in trouble about preaching holiness, and lost his credentials. He deluded on' his congregation for aupport. He hod beem living in Raleigh for four years. He claimed that his wife had been un faithful. Rev.

He acknowledged that he kept his wife awake nearly all of one night read Ing scripture to her and advising her fo rher good while she had worked all the previous day in the cotton mill and his industrial efforts had consisted sole ly in sweeping the floor the day before. However, he waiimed that if his family did nt work in the mill he would sup lort them. Mrs. St.levens said she only wanted the Rev. Stevens prosecuted so that lie would stay away and let them make t'heir own living. The case had not been concluded at 4:30, as this paper goes to press.

This party has agents in every large city and also ia junta in Mexico, one of the agents of which is now here. All this is perfectly well known to the authorities and no mani festo comes off the press without the government receiving a copy of it. Of course, these inflammatory addresses are hurtiul to the peace of the country, but it is generally considered that it would work more bam to arrest the leaders of the movement who would un doubtedly pose a9 martyrs, which is seemignly their desire. Bach province has, or will have, an address widely circulated, signed by some prominent name sufficiently common to be borne by many and thus to prevent the accu sation of forgery. One such appeal recently issued in the province of Santiago reads as fol lows: "With my "Soul -stirred with en thusiasm by your dignified action under the humiliating conditions in which we are 'placed by the intervening govern ment I raise my voice to you, brave Comrades, and obedient soldiers of rhe immortal Maceo, asking in glorious re membrance of his name, that you again swear you will die on the battlefield before you will live like miserable cow ards, yoked and tied, like the disinher ited offspring of our forefathers, allow ing a perjured foreign flag to float where our shores should be marked only by tne blessed emblem of the Lone Star. You who turned your haevks on the vile metal which pretended to "pay for the arms which cost so many sacri fices will know how to use them again, should it bo necessary, in defence of our just rights, because the great and powerful are small and cowardly when they face justice and truth. I shall al ways be first to die for yon or carry yon to glory. "Your brother and general. . "DTJANY."

DKATH PROM HYDROPHOBIA The Most Awful Fate of Mrs. Catherine I Simmons. ! correspondent of the I anbury lie j porter, writing from Tulip, Slokes coun ty, tells as follows of the horrible death front hydrophobia of Mrs. Catherine ! Simmons, an estimable lady of Slokes county: i IM.U 1. ... . , . . i I i nree h'kn ago sue was omen ny a mad dog. The rabid animal was tied in the yard and had wound itself wound a bush. Mrs. Simmons went out to relieve the dog from its confine nient when it made a leap at hi r and bit a terrible place on her arm. The dog was not suspected to be mad. but a madstone was sent for and applied, but alas, the dog had made a deathly leap. She attended preaching at Pincy Grove on the first Sunday in ths month, but o nreturning home her arm began to pain. It was hoped that she would not go mad, as several days rail elapseil sice she nwas bitte by the rabid ani mal. Several doctors were sent for. but they would not attend. She constantly grew worse. She slobbered, bit her lips and was terribly strong. She was given n stick to bite. Crowds of people flocked in to see the suffering woman- a horrible sight to look upon. The thought or sight of water or draft of air would cause violent convulsions. She suffered paroxisms of excruciating pain. She said she felt like she could eat her friends and wanted to go to the woods. She was in n contortion of agony. After five days of unalterable suffering an angel came and sounded the signal of death. She gave two fearful screams and then all was over. Alas, her work is done. We extend sympathy to the bereaved family. While in her right mind she expressed bright hopes for the future and said she was willing to die. RALEIGH STOCK MARKET. Qi otbd By Grimes and Vabs.

STREET PRECHING Baptist Ministers Won in Alanta and the Council Repeals the Ordinance Atlanta has just had u great stir over the subject of street preaching. The passage by the city council of an ordi nance against preaching on the streets excited a storm of protest from the Baptist ministers. The council yester day repealed the anti-street preaching ordinance. A committee consisting of . r. Henry Mac-Donald, Rev. I. J. Van Ness, Governor W. J. Northen, Dr. W. W. Iinndrum and Dr. L. i. Broughton from the Baptist ministers association, appeared before the council and entered a formal protest. Dr. MacDonald, Dr. Landrum and At torney Clysses Lewis, were the speakers The council then unanimously repealc I the ordinance. Attorney Lewis represent ed the salvation army and the Christian and Missionary Alliance. In speaking of the street preaching matter Mayor Woodward said to the Journal' "The oiilinnnce that was offered i i council on yesterday was at the in stance of the lsiard of poM c comiiiis sioners. The matter of 'iidiscrimieat" so-called preaching on the streets of I he city was Mouglit to the artijition of 'In board at its meeting by Major Ken hick, who recited where some one had been aliasing the people in fruit of their business places and calling them l.y mime. "The I d was very thorough in Ms disapproval of such methods, and di cided that 'I was necessary e take s.imi steps to regulate street pr-'.-iching. Ni t i member of the board expressed liims df as having any desire to suppress strcf preaching .but only to iive penuiss on to those preachers or people who rep'--soul ami would be under control of sivme religious denomination, and not allow a lot of indiscriminate Imodiums to net ,i py the streets and abuse and denoun. " all denominations and chinches. "Such harangues as those are not in the interest of good am! true religious worship, but tend to inirrf the cause of Christianity. The streets of the city of Atlanta belong to all the eople. and I am satisfied tha. it is not verv pleasant for a good and religious church member, in passing along -iie s.-'cts. to bear Ills and all other cinirches denounced by some irresponsible street howler, and very often the city authorities are censured for allowing it. but if there is no mode of regulating the business by law the same regulating tin. business by law the same condition of things will continue to exist. "The good preachers of Atlanta are needlessly alar.med -Hssibly by the : ant ing of irrational cranks about street preaching, for the lioard of police com missioners, nor anyone else in authority, ib'xires lo interfere or refuse to gi" per mission to any ordained minister or re cognized representative of any religious denomination the privilege of preaching up' n the streets. "I'ne general council, as the representa tives of all the people, has the right and the power, and it is its duty to control the streets of the city, and to pass such laws as will protect true religion and ( nristiatiity from insult and derision by a lot of cranks." AN ODD CLAIM FOR DAMAGES. One of the oldest claims ever .made against the government was dinllowed yeslerday by the controller of the treas ury on an appeal from a decision by the auditor of the War Department. Th claimant, whose name is withheld, wants the government to pay for crops which ripened while he was in file army, and which he. therefore, did not have a chance to harvest. He fixes the value of the crops at $23,033.fi0. The claimant lives in Colorado. He en listed in company G Third Colorado cavalry, in August. 1Si4. He ssays that he told the recruiting officer he did not want to enlist because he would lose his crops, and tho officer said that would be all right, and that he could have leave of absence to harvest them. On this promise the trusting warrior enlist ed. There was some unfinished business still on hand with the Southern Confed eracy when his crops ripened, and in spite of his appeals his superiors thought he had better stay in tho army and at tend to it. He says that as wheal, corn and vegetables ere unusually high al that time this decision was a source of great pain and annoyance to him. The auditor holds that there is mo appro priation out of which to pay for the failure of crops. Washington telegram lo the New York Times. MRS. KEN. .ALL TONIGHT. Mrs. T. R.
