night to consider what measures should
be taken.
The strike situation has vastly im
proved in the city. Adjutant Oeneral
Axlins says that the troops will not
be withdrawn until all danger of fur
ther uprising&js past.
Much satisfaction is expressed at the
calling of a special meeting of the city
council tonight to effect a settlement of
the strike. It is probable that the same
committee will be appointed as acted
in lust month's strike. Ther is little
loubt but that President Everett will
treat with that ommittee.

sand and five hundred employes in the
Republic Iron and Steel Company's
works struck. The strikers are outside
of the amalgamated nniou. The latter
will not take part in the strike as it has
nothing in common with the strikers.
All the fiuishing mills and valley plants
of the company are idle today, causing
a serious delay since the company is be

official announcement of the assassina

public. MUSICAL CAT.
She is a Regular Attendant on Saturday
Choir Practice.
A cat with strong musical instinct now
rwiides in the vicinity of the Edeuton
street Methodist church. She makes her
appearance each Saturday night, but
is never sen at any other time during
the week. However extremely Iuclement
weather alone prevents her from weud
ing her way to the church at eight
o'clock Saturday night. Reachiug her
destination she placidly seats herself
upon the church steps and enjoys the
choir practice. Wheu the choir com
pletes its practice the cat retires with
evident satisfaction. Strange, but the
cat never attends church service, but
seldom misses a choir practice. It bag
leen suggested that she is of the Chin
as type, since those benighted heathen
prefer the tuning of the instruments to
the most classic music.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY
Report that the Conpaay will Oel a Line
late New Orleans.
The report has been revived that the
Southern railway will get a line into
New Orleans.
At present the system has a liiic into
Mobile, the Mobile und Birmingham,
and also controls tht Alabama Great
Southern which extends to Meridian,
Miss., in the direction of New Orleans,
connecting at Meridian with the New
Orleans and Northwestern.
The New Orleans and Northeastern,
the Alabama Great Southern ami the
Cincinnati Southern were formerly un
der one management and known as the
Queen and Crescent route, and the
through line goes by that name, although
the three roads are now under different
management.
The report of the absorption of the
New Orleans aud Northeastern (has
been going the rounds for some time,
that road being the natural connection
of the Alabama Great Southern into
Xew Orleans, and the coutrul of it would
put the Southern into the gulf coast sit
uation as a very strong factor both at
Mobile and Xew Orleans.
The Southern has now, by its latest
acquisitions, terminal facilities at four
ports on the South Atlantic coast,
West Point, Xorfolk, Charleston and
Brunswick and in Mobile on the gulf
coast.
It would be a natural development of
the system to get "into Xew Orleans with
its own rails, especially in view of the
Xicaraguan cauul ami the increasing
commercial iniHrtnuee of the West Ii.
dies and the Latin republics to the
South. Atlanta Journal.

LYNCHING FOILED
Georgia Troops Frustrate In
tent of Mob.
CARRIED TO SAVANNAH
Troops Guard the Negro Prisoner John
Williams oa the Way From
Bainbridge.
Camilla, Ga., July 27. When two com
panies of militia from Albany, Ga., len
der command of Col. Wooten, bound for
Bainbridge, reached here Inst night, they
were ordered back home.
Col. Wooten was advised that there
was no use of them at Bninbriilgc.
since, it is believed, that all danger of
trouble has passed.
Troops had been sent to Bainbridge
previously. Before their arrival there
was a reign of terror on the streets, a
mob marching here and there shouting
and calling for vengeance on Williams.
A delegation of the mob called on Sher
iff Paterson at the jail Tuesday night
aud demanded the keys under penalty
of storming the prison. The sheriff told
the men the keys were locked up in the
vault of the court house and it was ini
possihle for him to get them.
The mob gathered at the jail threat
ened to force nil entrance. They were
warned to keep away or they would
lie lired upon by the guards inside.
Before the mob could muster sufficient
force to aft ack the jail the militia ar
rived on a special train and quickly sur
rounded the jail and ordered the mob
to disperse. The men then left the prison
aud went to their homes.
There was great indignation and bit
ter feeling against John Williams, who
is charged with entering the house of
Littleton Howell near Bainbridge and
attempting an assault on his young
daughter. The negro was arrested in
Florida and jailed a few days ago.
TO SAVANNAH.
Thomasville. Ga., July 27. Two com
panies of State militia in charge of the
negro prisoner John Williams, arrived
here last night und the local company
was sent home. The prisoner was turn
ed over to the Vuldosta company. That
company, acting as a guard, started
for Savannah with the prisoner.
WRIGHT JAILED.
Atlanta, July 27. Sheriff Reeves, of
Pike county, Alabama, arrived last even
iug with Albeit Wright, one of the ne
groes who is accused of having helped
commit the assault upon the Ogletrees,
near Bainbridge.
The sheriff states that when the train
passed through Newman that a mob of
armed men boarded it and demanded
that the prisoner be turned over to them.
They intended handling him as Sam Hos9
was dealt with in the same town not so
very long ago.
But the mob did not get Wright. He
had been concealed in the baggage car
by the sheriff before Newnan was reach
ed, as he feared trouble at this place.
After making what they thought to be
a thorough search of the train the would -Iss-
lynchers permitted the cars to pull
out of Newnnn, thinking the negro was
not on board.
In this they were fooled, for as soon
as the train stopped in the union depot
of Atlanta Sheriff Iteves alighted, and
with him was Wright, badly frightened,
but with not a scratch upon his Ixxly.
Reeves and the negro went immediate
ly to the Tower, and the bitter was
placed in one of the cells on the top
floor, where he will be kept until a trial
can be arrunged.
Wright was taken as a prisoner at the
Tower on the order signed by Governor
Candler, anil no one will be allowed to
see him.
The negro denies his guilt, but Sheriff
Reeves states that he has been identi
fied by Mrs. Ogletree.

gregation. Wilmington., Messenger.
The Durham Records adds:
"Dr. Kingsbury, who is generally au
thority on all inch matters, is at fault
in making out Dr. 'Marshall so old a

was a beardless deacon in ehivrge of
Oeneral Hospital No. 1, Klttrell Springs.
Ordained Priest by Bishop Atkinson at

SORRY FOR HIM
A Lady Bemoans a Deficiency of Clerk
I
i Among the many accomplishments of
Wake's popular and efficient clerk of
the court, W. M. Runs, orthography
stands prominent. He is a cracking
good speller, yet his deficiency I Vl in this
art is being bemoaned by at least one
of his staunch friends. In recording
wills the clerk is. as nearly all know,
required to copy the original document
without deviation. Well, it happens that
lie recently recorded a will in his office
of a departed citizen who possessed more
property than he did education. I-'or ex
ample among the worldly goods lie be
stowed was n "chois boss," etc. Today
some relatives called to examine the
will which was recorded in the beautiful,
neat and legible handwriting of the
clerk. Among the inspectors of tlni
recorded will was a lady lieuetieiary
who came with her husband. On leav
ing the court house she was heard to
remark to her better half: "Mr. ltuss
is such a big. tine looking man and
writes so pretty; ain't it a pity lie can't
spell no better. A-readin' bow lie had
spelt in copyin' Hint will jest made me
real sorry fur him."

THE DILLON MATTER
City Claims (bat Ihe Railroad was Re
sponsible for the Accident on
West South
Street.
The city of Raleigh today, through
City Attorney Walter L. Wntsou and
Messrs Argo & Snow, tiled a complaint
against the North Carolina Railroad
Company for damages iu the Dillon
matter. After setting forth the losses
of the road the complaint says:
"That the defendant, the North Caro
lina Railroad Company, in building and
constructing its road-bed through the
southwestern part of the city of Ral
eigh, made n fill in one of the highways
leading from the city, now known as
South street, situate in the city of Ral
eigh, and the road-bed being some feet
higher than the level id' South street, the
said defendant const nicted a trestle
over said,. South street upon which to
runs its trains.
"That notwithstanding the defendant
was and is required by its charter and
the laws of this State to place the high
ways which it crosses in the same con
dition that il found them, and to so
construct its crossing as to make said
highways safe to those using it for
travel; the said defendant placed across
said West South street, located in the
city of Raleigh, a trestle over which its
trains were to pass, oblique to said
South street, constructed iu a danger
ous ami negligent manner, ami by rea
son of the negligent construction nf said
trestle ami its position, they created an
obstruction in said South street, dan
gerous to persons using said street for
travel: and maintained said obstruction
therein up to the year 1N07. contrary
to their charter and the laws of this
State.
"That on the 2iith day of January lsiiii
one .Miss Hattic N. Dillon was in a
buggy driving a road-wortny horse along
said West South street, when the horse,
becoming frightened, ran into saitl ob
struction and she was thrown from her
huggy and sustained injuries by reason
of said accident.
"That at the October term ls'.N! of
Wake county Superior court, the said
Miss llnttie N. Dillon brought suit
against the city of lialeigli to recover
damages for the injuries she sustained
by reason of said obstruction placed iu
saiil South street by the North Carolina
Railroad Company: that at the October
term, lis!), the said Miss Hattic N. Dil
lon recorded judgment against the city
of ltalcigh for tile sum of .fli.OOO and
costs; that this judgment was appealed
from by the city of ltalcigh: that I lie
Supreme Court afiirmed said judgment.
"Thai the defendant, the North Caro
lina Railroad Company, was duly noti
fied of said suit and requested to defend
same, and was made a party defendant;
the city of Raleigh then filed a cross
complaint against I In North Carolina
Railroad Company to which they de
murred, asking that the same be dis
missed, which demurrer was sustained.
"That by reason of the unlawful,
wrongful anil negligent net of the North
Carolina Railroad Company, in causing,
placing, maintaining ami suffering said
obstruction the city of Raleigh has been
compelled to pay said judgment of 1.

INVESTIGATION.
The committee, composed of Messrs.
Hrown and Gattis, who are investigat
ing the agricultural department under
fusion management, held another ss
sioii today. Commissioner of Agricul
ture Patterson was the only witness
and he was merely examined to inform
the committee ou various points encoun
tered in their work.
Another session will be held this af
ternoon. YOUTH SUICIDES.
Ernstus Stewart, age 22, applied at the
recruiting station in Atlanta to enlist in
the army. He had served iu the volun
teer troops. The recruiting officers re-'
jected him on account of physical dis
abilities. Craned by the thought that
he could not serve his country again he
committed suicide by taking laudanum.

PENITENTIARY
The Prison Now Riding Two Horses
Laws of 1897 and 1899.
Superintendent Day, of the peniteu-
tinry, has called ou State Treasurer
Worth for money, saying the peuiteutiary
needed it; Heeded all the appropriation
for this year and more too. Capt. Day
is not willing to pay any 18!)!) debts, up
lo March 7, out of the $50,000 appropria
tion for the current year. Treasurer
Worth is trying to force such payment.
Capt. Day told the Treasurer that the
money would be secured even if it had
to be borrowed.
Supt. Day remarked this morning
that he was sending out convicts to work
on railroads now. A sqnnd was sn!
to work on the road between AshiMil' and
Ilelb today.
Some comment has been heard re
cently on the fact that the fate Treas
urer has received no sums from the
penitentiary this year. It scorns that
they would lake in something.
Treasurer Worth was asked today if
anything was received and he replied
"No. but I am rendy to take in any
ai mis brought here."
The Tact that nothing has been paid
into the State treasury from the peni
tentiary authorities, however, is easily
explained. The management is working
under two laws. It has a superintendent
under the acts of 1S!7 and an execu
tive board under the acts of IK'.K). Un
der imthoritv given by the latter the
receipts of the penitentiary are deposit- j
ed in a bank here and not witn mo
State Treasurer as under the former
law when the State Treasurer was also
treasurer of the penitentiary. It is
probable, though, that as soon as the
claims are paid up that the exifiitive
board will turn over the funds to the
State Treasurer and again pay out by
warrants on him. This explains why
the State Treasurer has received noth
ing from the prison since February 20th.
GRAPE INDUSTRY
Rain Injuring Black Varieties Mr.
Whiting will Ship 25,000 Pounds.
This continuous rain for the past five
.lays is beginning to injure the grapes
considerably. Since peaches and other
fruits were all killed by the cold last
spring, grain's have la-en looked forward
to with more than usual interest this
summer, and it was earnestly hoped that
the grape crop would be tine.
Mr. Chester Whiting, of the firm of
Whiting Bros., who are the largest
cultivators of grapes in this section, was
asked as to the prospects ibis morning.
He said "This wet spell has come earlier
than usual this year. We generally
have it late in August. The only grapes
injured thus far are the early varieties,
black grapes and Niagaras. I notice that
they are beginning to burst. The Dela
wares, which we cultivate for shipping,
have not been hurt."
Mr. Whiting says that they have
twenty acres in these grapes and ex
pect to ship about twenty-live thou
sand pounds.
Messrs. Whiting Bros, are the only
extensive grape cultivators in this sec
tion now. The low prices which grapes
began to bring a few years since caused
most of the cultivators to retire from the
business.
F,A;I.K FK1HTS MAN AND WIFE.
Huge Itird Driven Off After Hard
Struggle and Injuries for Human
Contestants.
tieni'va. N. Y.. July 25 A huge bald'
eagle swooped down on the farm of
liincoln Rogers, near the village of Na
ples, on Saturday afternoon and seized
a chicken iu its talons. Mrs. Rogers,
who heard a disturbance, rushed out to
see what was the matter, ami the eagle
made for her. She turned and lied,
screaming, and attracted the attention
of her husband, who was working in n
field not far iiway. He grabbed a stick
and hurried to the assistance of his
wile, who hud (topped in her flight and
attempted to lcat the bird off with a
club. When the eagle saw Mr. Rogers
it turned on him. and then attacked each
iu turn. Man and wife tried to beat the
bird, but in their excitement few blows
took effect, and those that did seemed
only to increase the eagle's anger and
cause it to tight all the harder.
Mrs. Rogers lost her club and tried to
fight the birds with her hands. In so
doing she was badly scratched. Mr.
Rogers also received numerous scratches
and bruises, and eventually put 'the bird
to flight. Another eagle was seen in
this city a few days, ago by the family
of Fred Pilis. and on the shores of Lake
Ontario, near here, eagles have been
seen frequently and one was killed in
a fight similar to that experienced by
Mr. and Mrs. Rogers.
