The Henry Berry Lowry Stock Still Violating the Law. - - -Upon the United States Court record of Wednesday last appears the following entry: "United States vs. Bhoda Lowrie, of Robeson county, charged with retail ing liquor without licence; verdict guilty and defendant sentenced to sixty days imprisonment in jsil and to pay a fine of100.w . . - r - To the cursory reader, and even to the young, attentive ana tnougutrui, mis bit of news, as recorded in yesterday morning's issue of the Star appeared without feature, save that some unfor tunate wontaa bad been meted out just Ice for breaking the laws of man ; but to the older readers the name of Lowrie ever sounds familiar, not on account of the numerous people who possess It as a cognomen, out because rc recaiis w ' ' . . m ...II . . tt X - memory the time (about thirty years ago) when Henry Berry Lowrie, the noted North Carolina outlaw, held full sway in Robeson county, and with his band killed and plundered until death claimed him. In this case well can the name of Lowrie be associated with that of the outlaw, for the woman tried and sentenced in the United States Court Wednesday for retailing liquor without a licence (as referred to above) is the widow of Henry Bjrry Lowrie. Sheis about forty nine years of age and still bears some semblance of the beauty that she once possessed, while her carriage is perfectly- erect ..

Henry Berry Lowrie, ai most of our readers are aware, was a man of boldness and nerve, and was killed at his home, in a swamp in Robeson county. Death was .caused by a shot from a gun in bis own hands ; thought by many to be an accident, but others contend that the noted outlaw committed suicide. VESTIBULE WRECKED.

Tae report - proved un truft, A New York dispatch says : The romcr that Richard Croker was dead was in circulation in all quarters oi the city from early iu the. morning until latej last evening. It also spread throughout the country, and inquiries as to the truth of the report were received from points as far distant as San Fran cisco. The Tammany leader has simply a slight cold. He is at the Murray Hill hotel here, and did not leave his room all day. He had a chill on Tuesday night at Tammany Hall, and on Wednes day complained of not feeling well. Prof. William Fluhrer, who was called in, said that Mr. Croker is simply suffering from stomach trouble, the result of over work, and is not in the slightest danger of serious complications. ONLY TWO SUCCESSFUL. State Board of Examiners Were In See i' slon Yesterday. The State Board of Examiners met yesterday afternoon at 8:30 o'clock In the office of the State Superintendent of public instruction - All the x members of the board were present, as follows: 8a- perintendent Mebane, W. L. Poteat, L. L Hobbs and M. O. S. Noble. - They spent the afternoon looking over examination papers handed in by candi dates for life certificates to teach public schools of the State, as provided for in the new school law passed by the last Legislature. The examination was held early in July and only three persons in the State stood it Two of these passed and their certifleates will be Bent them to-day They are R. 0. Craven, of Surry county; A. M. Garwood, of Davie county. . The third man failed to pass. Mr. Craven is superintendent of the graded Ujhools of Mt. Airy ; Mr. Garwood is a publio school teacher in Davie county. The reason so few teachers took the examination is that the law is a new one and after the board was appointed, got gather and organized there was very little time left to give notice of the ex amination. Since that time many teach ers have made application to be allowed to stand the examination, but this can not be done; they will have to wait un til next year.
