TROOPS ORDEREDOUT Charlotte Company Guarding the Negro Ran TRIAL AT DALLAS Ryao was Sentenced to be Hanred hut the Supreme Court Qraated Him a New Trial Now a Noted Case. Oapt. W. A. Irwin, of the Charlott. military company, has been ordered by Acting Adjutant (ieneraQ 'Harris to es cort Aiphonso Ryan, now confined in th Charlotte jail for safe keeping, to Dai las, i (laston coiuity and to there guard the jail nnder direction of the sheriff of (iaston. Tlie npjdlitntion for n,,litiu to protect tlie prisoner was mmde by D. W. Robinson, Kwq., who was amxitiited by the court to defeiwl Ityaa The fecl ;iU in tlastomi county is riuuiii4f high and trouiile is seriously feared, hence the necessity of military on the seen.' The order to Cnpt. Irwin was made sevenil days sinw, lit the matter was kept strictly secret until today, when the company carried the irisoiier to Dallas. Kyim is a negro. I.n, the fall of 18!)7 he smithed and killed a white man named Kails in (iaston county. He was brought to Raleigh and plaol in jail here to prevent l.vuueSnnlg. Here he re iiiiiined sen-era I months and was then car lied to (iaston county and' placed O'i trial for his life. Jmlge Coitle presidnl. Ryn was convicted of iniu-der in the first decree and sentenced to be banged. His eomnsel, Mr. D. W. Robinson, took an aitpeal to the Spreine court. The case was argued 'before that body and the justices gnaiiited Ryan a new trijil, holding that on the evidence tlie State could not have asked for a verdict of murder in the first degree since will ful, premeditation amd delilteration was not shown. Justice Furches wrote the opinion of the court. Jstiee Montgom ery wrote a concurring opinion. Justice Clark wrote the ouly dissenting opinio'i and it was widely quoted. He spoke of the prevalence of lynching and claimed that 8t was encouraged by the iiisuffi ciecy of the courts to protect society from of the courts to protect society from murderers and others guilty of capital offences. To this dissentiug opinion Justice Douglass replied hotly in a concurring opinion. Thus it will be seen that this is one of the few cases in whh h every shugle Justice on the bench, exciipt Chief Justice Faireloth, wrote mi opinion. A'l'ter the Supreme Count grant ed him a new trial Ryan was carried t.i Charlotte for safe keening until or.irt sliould I'onveiM'. The feeling ran so h'.'h in (lastoti comity that the Chariot n military ctwuitany has esNtrtl the pris oner back lor his second trial.

XXX The total invested funds of Lodges and encampments, December 31st, 1898, was twenty seven million one hundred and eight five thousand two hundred and forty one dollars and forty six cents. XXX The membership of the Order, includ ing ladies, December 31st, 1898, was one million twenty thousand nine hundred and sixty eight. A considerable Increase since then. XXX The total revenue of the Order for the year 1898 was eight million seven hun dred and sixty six thousand three hun dred and ninety three dollars and fifty six cents. XXX Odd Fellowship now clasps hands around the entire globe and while doing so it 'is composed of white people ex clusively, owing an allegiance to Rs American mother. The Independent Or der has no connection with any other order of Odd Fellows whatever, but it stands before the world aa the largest benevolent institution on earth. There must be something good in such an or der or so many would not adhere to it. XXX Most of our space today is devoted to general news pertaining to the world, but our own State and city must not be entirely overlooked. Ruth Lodge, our energetic Rebekah sister, has determin ed to raise sufficient funds to buy on or two dozen iron bedsteads for our Or phan Home. They expect to enlist the co-operation of the subordinate lodges in this laudable undertaking and will make their wants known in due time. We hope the brethren will co-operate in this work with zeal and assist our sisters iu every way possible. X X X Grand Sire Pinkerton speaka boldly and putrioticly in his report to the Sov ereign Grand Lodge, wherein, ha advo cates giving our soldier boys the benefit of Lodge privileges. He says: "I am led to believe that the time has now ar rived when we can adopt such legislation as will extend all the privileges of onr Order to the soldiers of our regular and volunteer forces, and permit them, whether at home or at the frontier posts or in distanct fields, to receive not only the benefit of membership, but the com munion of the lodge and the privilege of the Ritual. Your wisdom can surely de vise a plan whereby regimental, or kin dred lodges can be organized with power to confer degrees and conduct the routine of lodge work. Odd Fellowship la for those who walk in dangerous paths, and no class of men need its privileges more than those who in the naval and military forces of our country insure the safety and preserve the liberties of all." XXX If we are to judge by current opinion and the signs ot prosperity as shown from all sections of the country, the year 1899 will be somewhat of a record: breaker. Not only in North Carolina la the order gaining strength numerically, but so far as we are able to see, H la so in almost all the other States, Terri tories and Provinces. We have had to suffer very many loasea In oof member ship in late years on account of aaapea. siona.' Many were suspended on account . of the hard times, oa aa they imagined, could not spare the means to pay op. Many, and wa suppose that larger part, -took the disease known aa "dont care debility," some finding one or mora near societies they wanted to jota, and bobm others probably found out thai than waa something else to do beside "draw bene-: flta." We are sorry to lose these breth ren and. wish, them all wall, but It may torn out that their going out make room for better members wb are eoniiti? i to take their places. - The y?r : t will show m lnr,?T Ti" ' CVT r ' i
