ALL ABOUT DEWET.
Wondrous and Btrang Stories as to T.
W's. Return to Golds
boro. J oat why Thorn W, Dswey, Cashier
of the F and If Bank, once ot this city,
should be the Christmas hobgoblin to
furnish stories for the New Born fire
side. Is Impoaslbl to guest It 1 one
ot those thing whloh "Just come," and
the publie take it In without excuse, ac
cepts reports and piles up. rumor upon
rumor until there Is seemingly good
story, which 1 accepted for truth, when
it analyzed would prore the wildest
kind of fiction.
Such a story developed here yesterday
afternoon and by 8 o'clock at night, it
was most creditable story, for It bad
been built up on every tide, and present
ed an astonishing amount of detell.
But the story, first a phone messsgn
from' ftoldsboro, that ThoaW. Dewey
would be In Qoldsboro on the Bouthern
railway train due In that city about 6 pm,
shortly followed the street story here
that Dewey was in company with b
brother George, of New York, who bad
money for Tom' release, and also In the
company was Dr. Mlal, who had per
suaded the ex-cat hler to return to North
Carolina and give himself op. From
this la'er came the announcement that
Mr Ontler of this city had received s
t legram from Goldtboro that Dewey
waa there and wonld be doarn on the
J boa Ply train thia mo'nlng.
Tbe following special from from
Ooldaboro telle of the excittmsnt there
and the rumor of tbe Asylum getting off
ran be accepted for what it la worth:
"1 here were several hundred people at
tbe depot tonight, when the train came
In from Raleigh to get a glimpse of Mr
T W Dewry, who it wis thought would
come in on tbe train Tbe crowd waa
disappointed for Mr Dewey did not abow
up. A report haa been current btr all
day that Mr Dewey would arrive hee to
nibt and that a transition with the
New Bern Bank which made bin so fam
ona naturally arooaeJ quite a deal of
lntrr.il In bla coming home. The se
cricy which I ai veiled his whereabsmi
Inos he left this territory added to the
Interest, which the nubile had in tbe
cate and it waa only natural that a Isrjt
crowd wonld turn oit to greet him
Tber were several coafllctlng rumors on
jrthe streets today.
It has been atatsd on fairly good au
thority that Mr Dewey arrived here last
night on the aouthern train from Ral
eigh and that he went direct to the home
of bis mother whloh Is just one block
from tbe dept. If he did come he baa
kept himself In hiding ell day. HI wife
and children have been at the heme of
hi mother for tome day and thia fact
has tarred to coaflmrthe report which
bad been circulated here today. The re
porter approached a member of the fam
Uy and aakel for Uformatloa concern

not have tlcketa for that point got off,
