Train Passengers Saw Church Fire. Rjjusiqh, Feb. 23. Fire early this morning destroyed the Methodist Dis trict Parsonage here, occupied by Re?, Dr. J. P. Gibba. The building was worth about $2,500 and was Insured. - There was a singular occurence at Qaryeburg yesterday. A passenger train on Its' way to Raleigh was passing that place when it was discovered that a church roof was on fire, the congrega tion knowing nothing whatever of It, Conductor Cain stopped the train and informed the congregation of the Ore, when all hands turned out to extinguish it. Among today's arrivals wore N. B, Sinclair, Fayettevltle: J. It. B. Carraway, T. W Dewey, New Bern; J. J. Laughing house, Pitt county. Nothing has been talked of. here since Saturday afternoon save the shooting and killing of Ludlow Skinner by Ernest Haywood. There was a stream of callers all day yesterday at the dead . man's home. Today his brother in-law John, H. Winder arrived from Columbus, Ohio at noon. The funeral services wore held this afternoon from Christ Episcopal Church. im A report was widely current today that Ernest Hay wood .wouH sue out a writ of habeas corpUB, in order to get have to give bail, and that this would be done today, but one of Haywood's attorneys eald It would not be done to day but certainly later on. The next term of the criminal court hero begins March 29, Judge H Jt Bryan presiding, but as be Is a brother of the mother-in-law of Ludlow Skinner, of course he cannot try the case. On the other hand It is said the solicitor of this district Is related to the Haywood's and that he will not be able to prosecute. It seems to be tho opinion thai the trial will not be delayed beyoud March, and that the Governor will consent to an ex change of courts by which some other judge will take Judge Bryan's place Haywood is occupying what used to be the women's cell, on the second Soor of Jail, quite a good sized cell, liia people sent him a bed, a rug, etc, and his desk was also sent to him. Ho furnishes his own meals, theBe being sent from a res taurant, and la said to have quite a good appetite. He has seen only some of his nearest relatives, and a few lawyers Yesterday his slater, Mrs. Brldgers of Wilmington, and his brother Mr. Alfred Haywood of Haw Hirer arrived and went at once to see him, In company with another brother Mr. Edgar Hay wood of Raleigh. There continues to bo all sorts of ru mors as to the cause of tho shooting, and one which was circulated last night and today was that there was an understand ing that the men would shoot on sight. A kinsman of Haywood said ho believed this, though It was only guess work. It seems to be beyond doubt that Skinner had not seen Haywood la at least ten days, as during that perloi Bktnnor had been at the bedside of his dying mother, who was burled last Friday.. Saturday afternoon Skinner left his home to go for the first time In all that period to his office and stopped On the way at the home of his father, which it Is said he had not left over thirty minutes before ho' wbb killed. It is farther staffed most positive ly that he was in bis office talking with Mr. Alfred A Thompson one of his em- AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. What Postum DU There.

Every child born into the world with an Inherited or early developed ten dency to distressing, disfiguring hu mours of the slur! scalp and blood, be comes an object of the most tender so licitude, not only because of its suffer ing, but because of the dreadful fear that the disfiguration is to be lifelong and mar its future happiness and pros perity. Ilencc it becomes tho duty of mothers of such afflicted cTiildrcn to ac quaint themselves with tfio best, the purest and most effeotive treatment available, viz., The Cutioura Treatment. Warm baths with Cuticura Soap to cleanso the skin and scalp of crusts and scales, gentle applications of Cuticura Ointment, to allay itching, Irritation and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and mild doses of Cuticura Resolvent Pills, to cool the blood in the severer cases, are all that can bo desired for the alleviation of the suffering of skin tor tured Infants and children, and the com fort of worn-out parents. Millions of women use Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre serving, purifying and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening and soothing red, rough and sore hands, for baby rashes, itchings and chafinga, In tho form of washes for annoying Irritations and inflammations, and- for many sanative, antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves. ployees, and said to the latter that he would step over to the post office an J le back In a minute; that barely fivo min utes bad passed before some of the clerks In tho oflleo heard two shots, the Becond of which was the one which took his life. Your correspondent Interviewed a most Interesting witness of the shooting. The latter said he was In the postofflce lobby, saw Skinner there talking to some one; that Skinner was not at all nervous, and smiled, that he walked down the steps with htm on Fayetteville street; that Skinner turned as If to go diagonally across the street; that the first shot was fired when Skinner was about the edge of the sidewalk, that there was no conversation between Skinner and Haywood; that Haywood took aim and fired the second time when Skinner was about half way betreen the sidewalk and the street car (rack; that when the bullet struck Skinner's hat tell off; that he put his left hand to his side, walked across the street car track In a half circle and fell on the track with his face to wards his slayer, that Haywood .too J between the south east corner of the postofflce and the southeast entrance, on the middle of the sidewalk; that Skinner was about 25 feet away when first fired at and about 85 or 40 feet distant when the second shot was fired. It Is said that Skinner did not live more than half a minute after he fell, never spoke and gasped three times. Be had on an overcoat. His pistol was In the left hip pocket of his trousers. It is the theory of Skinner's friends that be was probably about 40 feet away from Haywood when the bullet struck him, and that having heard the first shot he had turned partially to see who was shooting and that then the bullet struck htm three Inches to the left of the left breast, passing through both lungs, severing the aorta, smashing the seventh rib and lodging in the flesh immediately under the skin on the right side, having passed transverely through the entire body.
