A sen national story eomes from Walkertown, Tillage nine miles east of this city It appears that a young man by the name of Poindexter attempted to crim inally assault Miss Settle Lancaster, at the homo of the latter, near Walker- town, but was prevented from carrying out his purpose by the unexpected ap nearanca of the girl's little brother, who drew a gun and would doubtless have hot Poindexter had it been loaded. According to the report received here, TlnHeTf who is a member of an ex cellent family, went to the Lancaster home and persuaded one of the boys to go hunting with him. After staying out for some time, Poindexter returned to the Lancaster home and found the daughter, who is only seventeen years of age, alone. He made improper pro tuuuila .to her which she resented. He grasped the girl and threw one handover her mouth. Her screams were heard by her little brother who happened to be wrniing in from his hunting expedition. He rushed Into the room, grasped Poin dexter's gun which was lying on a table and endeavored to shoot Poindexter, but . !.;,- imlnaHivt. the iron refused to fire. Poindexter rushed out of the house and loon disappeared.; An older brother of Miss Lancaster, when told of what had happened, was locked up to prevent him from going in search of the chap that had insulted his eister. Another brother, who resides in this city, was sent for. It was an irate f amilv. It is reported that the Poin dexter boy was hurried away from home t. three o'clock this morning in a hack. An effort is being made by the father of Poindexter to eneci a compromise with the father and brothers of Miss Lancaster. V.-.,'--"-' .. . New York Wins and Losea. ' Vw York. Sept.

I'routy's plurality , is estimated at about 2S,fKM, compared with Bell's plu rality of 3 1.5.57 in 1904. The candidates voted for were gover nor and other state officers, congresj- . men itrHfTemuers ol the legislature. The leaders on the Republican and Demo cratic tickets being Lieutenant-Governor Prouty, and former Mayor Burke, of Burlington. The Independence League, Prohibition ists and Socialists also presented candidates for governor but not for the y her state offices. Voting in the cities and larger towns began at eight o'clock, but in smifler communities the ballot boxes were not opened until ten o'clock. Balloting closed at sundown. With Lieutenant Governor I'routy's election admitted by all opposing party leaders, the question of interest in the election was that of the size of his plurality over former Mayor Burke and the strength of the Independence League movement in the state. It is believed that both of these would have considerable bearing on the conduct -of the national campaign.

A. battle royal is oq among the Demo-1 crats of Guilford county over the dif- j ferent county office. The principal fight is between John C. Kennctt and Thomas J. Murphy for the nomination for representative. ' Col. John A. Barringnr has no opposi tion for the Senate,- and' it is conceded that Dr. A. J a Gordon will receive a ma jority of the votes as one o fthe mem bers of the House of Represenetatives. For the other Member of the house there is keen rivalry, . between Kennett and Murphy. '.-:, . .- What are the issues no one seems able to tell. .They both want to represent Guilford in the next legislature and each can find some reason why the other fel low should not be selected. For a whlol it looked as if Kenpett would have 110 opposition, .tl. takes some little nerve and a considerable hankering for pi for a man of a keen sense of self-respect to walk up and piann "own nve uoiiars just 10 run tor the nomination in the primary. Some of those who do not like Kennett set about .to have some one vc.11 against him. Certain lawyers in Greensboro who think more of thejr practice than they do of a seat in the legislature were approached and nsKed to become cnmmiaics against Kennett. None of them would agree to make the race. Finally some one sug gested that Murphv would run.

Bids for the torpedo boats were sub mitted under the government's plans for hull and machinery and also propos ing that the builders instnll their own designs of machinery. All the proposals I were made at a figure considerably be llow the congressional limit.

Proposals to furnish vessels of thirty to thirty-three knots per hour were made.
