Prelladaary Examlaatloa Tha Slayer
Ceamltted rer Harder.
On Sunday afternoon, between five
and six o'clock, as the Sunday school af
Christ Church was beginning tha later-
setiag Easter exeroieee in the presence
of a crowded house, the "POP! I" of a
pistol was heard and John Akk Harris,
a colored boy about eighteen years old,
railed into the gutter In front of R. N.
Duffy's drug store, a dead hoy. Tha
congregation wsa not much disturbed
until the aawe spread and some of
Harris' family oonnectkma arrived and
beholding tha dead body with tha hole
of the pistol ball in tha head and tha
brains oosing out, gave veal to their
feelings la-dlatreesing screams. Sooa a
large erowd gathered at the crossing af
Pollock aad Middle streets where the
dead body layua.il tha Coroner was
sent for wtoo summoned a jary aad held
the usual inquest. There could be but
one verdict, aad that was the deceased
oametohis death from a pistol shot,
said pistol being in the hands of Lemuel
Hatch, oolored.
Lena is a likely oolored boy about
sixteen years old and has for sometime
been in the employ of R. B. Nixon,
Esq., end Dr. R. N. Duffy st the drug.
store of the latter gentleman.
In the examination before Justices
Brinson and Watson yesterday after
noon, it appeared that Lem Hatch, the
prisoner, and John Harris, the deceased,
aad two other boys were near the pas
senger depot of the A. & N. C. R. on
Sunday afternoon, and that Hatch and
Harris hsd a' quarrel and came to
blows; that they then started down
town, Hatch taking the lead. They
went down Hancock street to Pol
lock, down Pollock to the drug
store where Hatch was em
ployed as a servant in the lam
offioe of Mr. Nixon and in tho drug
store. Arriving at tha west end of the
store Batch went in at a back gate
and is supposed to have gone to Mr.
Nixon s law office and got his pistol ; the
others went on to the oorner aad halt
ed ; Harris stood looking diagonally
aoross the street towards Meadows'
drug store. Hatch came through
the drugstore, passed out of the door
Opening on Middle street, went within
a few feet of Harris, leveled a pistol on
him and fired. The ball entered behind
the right ear and ranged ia the direc
tion of the left eye, producing death in
stantly. Dr. R. N. Duffy was sitting in
tha front part of his store and saw
Hatch pass through but did not suspsot
anything wrong. Ha heard no talking
or quarreling, bnt heard tha pistol
shot. Dr. Charles Duffy was sitting in
his offioe (which adjoins the drug store)
near the door; he heard no talking ar
quarreling but heard the pistol shot and
looked out just in time to see Harris
(all and roil into the ditch. He hast
ened to him, polled him out of the
ditch, and upon examination found that
Ufa was soon extiact. , Hatch ia tha
meantime started te'move off but was
apprehended by some gentlemen com'
ing up at tha time and was ssnt to jail.
In- ths preliminary trial Hatch was
represented ay L. J. Moore, Esq., aad
Judge Green; the State by Solicitor
wnite. After bearing tha testimony
prisoner's counsel stated that they
wooia not ask for bail, and the prisoner
was remanded to leu.
The most cold blooded murder we
ever heard of," were the words that
passed around on tha lips of ths large
erowd that assembled at tha oorner on
Sunday evening, bnt the provocation
anatng rront the difficulty which pre
oeded was not generally known. But
to shoot a man down as yon would a
aogieiaaeea norribie to tninn or. it
is an outrage upon tha community, and
an outrage upon the laws of thecoun

The Presidency Again.
Ia this Uue "Wild Ooose" of Car
teret comes to the front again with his
candidate for the Presidency of the A.
4N.CR. He mm to be iajkecord
with "Democrat.'' whose communica
tion appeared ia Sunday s issue.
Leaving Mr. Bryan's administration
to stand oa its ova merits, aad leTiBj
the people along the line cf the road
to aay whether or not tbej want a
change, we wish to ipeak of Mr. Sim
mons' qualifications, and the propriety
of appointing him to that position.
If it is to be put on political grounds,
as a recognition of valuable services to
the Democratic party, thru no more fit
ting appointment can be made from the
second district than Mr Simmons. If we
are not mistaken, a comparison of the
vote will show that the second district
is about the only 90s io the State w here
Qovernor Fowle made a net gain over
Governor Scales. Aad who will say
this was not in a great measure due to
the wise, prudent and vigorou canTasa
made by Mr. Simmon'
As to his qualifications , aoy man
well acquainted with him must au"
knowledge that hs came a level head,
a mind to well talauced that he can
turn 10 success wh&ic, r t jriiir he
dsvotes his aitectiuu to.
At 10 nis popularity. il l W.mm- i
evidently correct about that lie was
the first in Congress 10 introduce a bill
which if it had pa8d would have
knocked the life out of the great Bag
ging Truat, and his eltorlH in bebalf of
the farmers in this matter dou biles
caused monsy to be cut to hid Jut not
by that powerful combination to defeat
him.
Is is not our purpose to show up Mr.
Bryan's shortcoming in ordir to have
him removed and Mr. Simmons put in.
no man is perfect, but if Governor Fowle
finds it necessary to discontinue Mr.
Bryan's service as President, he would
find in Lr. Simmons a thoroughly com
petent, agreeable, and universally pP"
ular successor.
Easter Day at tho Churches in the City.
The day was fine, the sun shining
after tffc gloom of the late storm and
in full brilliancy, and affording an
opportunity to all who wished to do so
to don the spring suit and the Easter
bonnet.
At St. Paul's Catholic Church the
decorations were not profuse, but were
in admirable taste. The services were
appropriate, instructive and pleasing.
The music was exquisite. It is difficult
to determine whether the instrumental
or the vocal excelled, but the blending
of the two was the perfection of har
mony and melody. The sermon,' which
had for its object the inculcation of the
practical lessons of the event commemo
rated, was strong in its arrangement,
Catholic in spirit and beautiful in its
pathos.
At Christ Church the services at 11
o'clock were the usual Easter celebra
tion. A very large congregation. Ex
cellent music, and an able discourse by
the Rector from the text. "This Mortal
Mast Pat on Immortality.,'
Tho grand old bymn, "Te Deum
Laudamus," was rendered in magnifi
cent richness and was a delight to all
who listened to it; and especially to
those who felt the impression of it
daring the Sundays of Lent.
The floral decorations were far be
yond any previous occasion both in
quantity and, beauty of arrangement
Indeed visitors from both the North and
the South pronounce it decidedly the
finest floral display in all partlsulars
that they had ever seen. The ohancel
was literally loaded with rich plants,
palms and calla lilies, while each
memorial windows bad a munificent
contribution to the memory of
those to whom they were placed,
from loving hearts and willing hands
Tha labor and patient care to con
summate so grand a scene was almost
wonderful, and reflects much credit
upon those who so devotedly applied
themselves to thie humble imitation cf
the actions of the first Easter morn
The administration of the Holy Com'
munion was to a largo number of e
ciplents.
At 5 o'clock the child rens' celebra
Mob was fully up to any pre
vious one In all particulars. Ths Sun
day school marched in with banners
at -each, class during the singing of a
processional 1hjmn.s An anthem was
antiphonally: read and carols sung, the
creed Intoned and An offering made by
classes.7 each' class 1 taking up their
money : enclosed in all . artificial , egg
and at thl tarns time delivering to the
superintendent i floral letter which was
placed an anarch! arranged to receive
it. When this wast completed a Jacob s
ladder-baautlfuliy festooned '' with
flowers," -'illuminated with candles'
bearing tithe rundlosthe Greek letters
all -rji. "1 ' i..'.4l
by -- an ' ' aroh y bearina ' the
Risen" waa displayed to the congre
gation. A short discourse was de
livered by the Rector, prayer offered
aad the beoedietioa proaouaced and
the school retired with a recessional
hymn and the Easter eelebrauoa was
ai aa sad , w rth hot oae single circu in
stance to mar the pleasure of the day
of general rejoicing, aad that was the
absence af las beloved Biahop of the
Diocese who was te have been present
but was detained ethoses by sickness.
All in all, tha Eaeter celebration was,
in the language of one of the Sunday
school children, "a grand success. "
At the M. E. Church a large congre
gation was pre en t. The church was
not decorated, but while Easter ia not
commemorated here as in the Catholic
and Episcopal churches, yet the sermon
by the pastor was appropriate and the
offerings were liberal, something over i
four hundred dollars being raised for
various purposes. The solo in the opt n
ing services by Mr. J. K Willis was
unusually fine.
At St. Cyprians, colored, Episcopal
Church the day was celebrated in the
becoming style usual with the congre
gation. There was an early celebra
tion of the Holy Eucharist at S s. m. A
full service with a sermon at 11 o'clock.
A Sunday school celebration at 4 o'clock .
and the regular evening service al V
and a short sermon by the Rector from
the words ia the Epistle for tha day.
"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek
those things which are above." lathe
course of which he alluded feelinKiy
to the grief and sorrow that had fallen
upon those connected w un tne partici
pants in the sad homicide commuitHf
but a few hours before, iiere lbs Moral
decorations were tasty and elaborate.
and while the Bishop's chair which was
to be occupied by him this evening was
vacant, yet it displayed to the congre
gation a beautiful cushion which had
been prepared and presented by devout
members of the parish ss an Easter
offering and testimonial of love and
esteem for the chief shepherd of the
flock whose preeencc is always appre
ciated by them.
During Lent the daily prayers have
been said at six a. m. and at that early
hour the attendance has been unusually
large and an increasing interest in the
odvanoement of. the Master's work has
been manifested.

withstanding your efforts to keep it.

want again to insist on that eminently
popular and in every way effioient man,
F. M. Simmons, being appointed. In
this I mean no disrespect for our worthy
fellow citizen, W. 8. Chad wick, but I
know of no one who oould give more
universal satisfaction than Mr. Sim
