Prince Karageorgevitch Proclaimed King and Another Government Formed The Country Ac cepts the Downfall of the Obrenovitch Dy nasty Without Regret. Belgrade, Servia, June 11. A military revolution broke out here last night. The troops who revolt ed under the leadership of Major Angikovics, burrounded the palace, assassinated King Alexander, Queen Draga, the latter's sister, the Queen's brother, Nikodem; Premier Marko vitch, Ministers Petrovitch and Tud rovics. General Pavlovitch, the former Minister of War, and some of the members of the royal guard. Prince Karageorgevitch was pro claimed King. A new government was formed and the following proclamation was issued: "To the Servian People: Last night the King and Queen were shot. In this grave and fateful moment friends of the Fatherland i have combined to torm a new gov ernment. While the government J makes this announcement to the people, it is convinced that the Ser vian people will gather round it and j lend their aid to retain order and se- curity throughout the land. "The government hereby makes known taat from to-night the con stitution of of April-6, 1.901, comes in force. A meeting of the national representatives dissolved by the proclamation of March 24, is sum moned o meet at Belgrade, June 25th. "(Signed.) "Jovan Avakumovics, Premier. "L. Jubonur Kalievics, Foreign Minister. "Stojah Protics, Minister of the Interior. "George Genshics, Minister of Commerce. "General Jorvan Alanazkovics, Minister of War. "Vojislav Velikovics, Minister of Finance. "Colonel Alexander Machin, Min ister of Public Works. "L. Jubomir Schiokovics, Minister of Justice." The streets are thronged with peo ple, whose actions seem to approve the coup d' etat. M. Protics, the new Minister of the Interior, was loudly cheered as he drove to the ministry. M. Avakumovics, the new Pre mier, belongs to the Independent Liberal party. As the morning advanced the ex citement in the streets grew steadily. In spite of the pouring rain thous ands of people gathered in the vicin ity of the palace. Everywhere troops of all arms were posted and field guns were placed in positions to deal quickly with any opposition to the newly formed government's will. The soldiers discarded their cockades bearing the late King Alexander's cipher and substituted for it flowers, green twigs and leaves. Bands of young men paraded the streets waving flags and shouting "Long Live Karageorgevitch." Flags are flying from nearly every house in Belgrade, and there is absc - lutely no display whatever of crape : or other signs of mourning. The royal standard has been low ered from over the palace. Reports from places outside Belgrade indicate that the country accepts the disap pear ince of the Obrenovitch dynasty without regret. According to th-j best available in- formation obtainable from the mass of contradictions, the crime was car ried out by members of the Sixth In fantry under the command of Col onels Mischich and Machin. The latter is a brother-in-law of Queen Draga, and is minister of Public Works in the new cabinet. London, June 13 A special dis patch from Rome says a semi-official note published there declares that whoever is made King of Servia the powers will exact the punishment of the murderers of King Alexander and Queen Draga, as civilized Eur ope cannot tolerate that high admin istrative and military positions in any country should be occupied by assassins. Belgrade, Servia, June 15. Prince ; Peter Karageorgevitch at 12:15 p m. was unanimously elected King of Servia by the Senate and Skupsh- tina in joint session. SERVIA'S NEW KING. i The little kingdom of Servia, ad joining the Austro-Hungarian empire and the river Danube, bounded in other directions by Romania, Bul garia, Albania and Bosnia, contain ing less than 20,000 square miles, was the scene on Wednesday night of a military revolution, in which King Alexander and Queen Draga, and their chief ministers were killed, and a new king and a new ministry were quickly established. No further trouble is expected to grow out of the revolution. Both the murdered king and queen were unpopular, and the constitution of 1801, which they had set aside, has been restored. The new king is Prince Karageorgevitch, whose father was a rich swine owner, and who was made a prince in 1842. The choice of the army will be en dorsed by the people. Servia is a great producer of swine. j Immense herds of hogs are raised in j her forests, and their export supplies the country with money and reve nue. In 1894 there were 2,256,084 people in the little kingdom . The religion of the people is that of the Greek church. The Servians belong to the Slavic family, as do the Rus sians and Huns. Servia was forced from Turkish rule by the treaty of Berlin in 1878. and in 1882 it became a hereditary kingdom, with King Milan as its ruler. The murdered Alexander is his son. King Milan abdicated in favor of his son, and he died about two years ago. The death of Alexander puts an end to the dy nasty. Belgrade, the capital of Servia, is a city ot about 60,000 people, and it is the only considerable town in the kingdom. The country is rustic and backward, being outstripped in edu cation, agriculture and manufactures by both Bulgaria and Roumania. Belgrade is connected by railroads with all parts of the kingdom and with the chief cities of Hungary. Latter to W. T. Harrison. Goldsboro, N. C. Dear Sir: N The Trustees of Fair Ground, Cobleskill, N. Y., were glad to pay 15 cents a gallon more for Devoe; and no wonder. Two other paint agents said it would take 150 gallons of their paint to cover the buildings. Our agent put it at 125 or less. It took 115. We saved them 35 gallons of paint and painting (worth $4 to $5 a gal lon, as the painting costs two or three times as much as the paint) less 15 cents a gallon on 115 gallons. Say $140. That's how to count the cost' of paint. The cost of putting it on is $3 or $4 a gallon. You see what that means. Go buy Devoe. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co. P. S. Smith & Yelverton sell our paint. Berlin, June 15. A dispatch to the Lokal Anzeiger from Warsaw to-day announced that a large apart- ment house collapsed suddenly and that the bodies of nineteen persons were taken out of the ruins.

AN ENJOYABLE AFFAIR. The Barbecue of Co. D. at Myrtle Springs Monday Night Was a Grand Success. For an occasion of unalloyed fun, jovial sociability and general enjoy ment, the barbecue supper given by the Goldsboro Rifles Co. D. Monday night, to celebrate the anniversary of the company, eclipses all previous efforts towards this end. The com pany and their friends left the Ar mory in wagons at 6:00 o'clock and in the refreshing evening breeze the ride out was indeed a pleasant one. On arriving at Myrtle Springs a big table, fairly groaning under the weight of good things to eat and drink, met the gaze which had been j artistically arranged daring the after noon by Messrs. Schwab, Huggins and Freeman. The bountiful repast was enjoyed by all and the barbecue, which was the main feature, was ! fine. A tremendous bonfire was burning around which the hapy assemblage gathered and further enjoyed the evening. Songs, jokes, dances, etc., were rendered by the artists of the company until at 9:30 the bugle sounded 4Wagons", and reluctantly but cheerfully the crowd again started for home. The "hay ride" back to town was great, . and the songs by so many harmonious voices made the hills echo and re-echo in the still night air. At 11 o'clock the Armory was again reached and amid assurances of a most enjoyable evening good nights were said with three cheers for gallant Capt. Cohen, which were given with a will.
