Fuquay Springs Was the Scene of a
Rare Gathering—Special Train
Also Carried Guests to Lil
lington.
“If a more enjoyable time was
ever known it has not been put into
words.” Such were the comments
when the big barbecue party return
ed from an outing down the Raleigh
& Southport Railroad last night. The
occasion was the combination of a
plan between President John A.
Mills, of this railroad, who tendered
a special train, and the members of
the Raleigh Clearing House Associa
tion, which provided the joys of an
old-time barbecue. When the clock
sounded its three strokes yesterday
afternoon there was not the usual
deliberateness that characterizes the
actions of the general banker; there
was instead a display of haste sucli
as is the wont of a small boy eager
for a frolic. With the click of latch
and clock, the bankers and a num
ber of their friends whom they had
honored with invitations, hurried to
the station, where they boarded the
special train placed at their disposal
by the big-hearted President Mills.
Capt. F. T. Ricks, manager of the
road, laid aside the duties of his
down-town office and took charge of
the special as a personal conductor.
A number of those who had invita
tions and good intentions were left
when .the train pulled out shortly
after 3 o’clock.
There was not a dull moment
while the bankers were at play. Alli
had been arranged with splendid
^^ethought and care. It was at
Springs that a treat fit for
Nig- w;r- spur,id.
little mounds and by the
J^^uing paths from the station to
The springs the party tramped it
along merrily. There, under the
trees close to the running water, that
tinkled as if it seemed to know the
spirit of the day, a large table bore
a very burden of Brunswick stew
and barbecued pig, such as never
could have been before. There were
all the “fixin’s” one could ever dream
about. At this long table there
stood sixty-odd men; but they did
not stand long. It was soon a case
of bending body and bending elbow
and opening mouths that could not
stand temptation. The feast was
served without any of the usual am
ber-colored fluids.
If there is such a thing as a gas
tronomical chief surely his identity
is done up in the anatomy of Barney
Jones. He it was who prepared and
served so rich and great a feast. He
was up with his assistants as early
as 4 o’clock yesterday morning and
for twelve hours or more his skill
manipulated the barbecued meat that
was all beyond the telling in com
mon, every-day words. In addition
to several who were bidden at the
spririgs, the following named guests
signed the hungry roll at table:
Governor Robert B. Glenn, State
Treasurer Ben. S. Lacy, Joseph G.
Brown, Corporation Commissioner S.
L. Rogers, James McKimmon, Robert

When the table of goodies had
been relieved of its load, the an
nouncement was made that the party
would be privileged to make a run
down to Lillington in order that the
rest-seekers could look upon the
Cape Fear river and some of the
sights in Harnett county. When the
train steamed out from Fuquay
Banker Joseph G. Brown appeared

FORTI NE IF HE DROPS WIFE. I
Pittsburg, Pa., July 27.—-A will!
filed here recently, of Miss Anna M.
Gunning, who died on July 18th, at
her home on Forbes street, at the
age of 55 years, leaves the greater
part of her estate, valued at $500,-
000, to Carl Fl Miller, a well-known
business man of this city, whose
home is in Wilkinsburg, on condition
that he gets a divorce from his wife.
Otherwise he gets nothing. Miller
once was a sweetheart of Miss Gun
ning, but turned from her to his
present wife. Miss Gunning never
married and never forgot. In her
will, after making a number of be
quests amounting to $48,000, she
says:
“The income of the balance is to
be given to Carl F. Miller, provided
he is not living with the woman he
married in 1899, one Jane Wilson.
Should she have died or he be di
vorced from her—that is,, finally di
vorced—he is to be given absolutely
one-half of the principal and the in
terest on the other half as long as
he lives. If he marries again he can,
by will, leave all to his second wife
and children.”
MR. CORTELYOU ABOUT FINISHED
Washington, July 27.—Postmaster-
General George B. Cortelyou, who has
been devoting much of his time lately
to winding up his affairs' as Chairman
of the Republican National Commit
tee, has about finished his task, with
the assistance of Secretary Elmer Do
ver. He will probably formally turn
the affairs of the chairmanship over
to Col. Harry S. New, of Indiana, one
day next week. Mr. New, who is the
member of the committee from Indi
ana, goes to the head of the national
organization over pronounced local op
position. He is not pleasing to Vice-
President Fairbanks or Fairbanks’
supporters, and it is stated that it
might not be a difficult task to win
him over to the smouldering boom for
Elihu Root for 1908. Mr. New will
spend much of his time in this city
and give personal attention to the
work of the committee. In this he
will be assisted by the 'Secretary, Mr.
Dover.
ROCK $138,000 PER TON.
Meeteetse, Wyo., July 27.—News
of the most wonderful and by far
the most important gold strike in
the history of the Wood river mining-
district, thirty-five miles from this
place, has reached Meeteetse. The
rock' has been assayed by experts
and its richness is marvelous. Some
sample assays were sent away and
the returns show that the rock car
ried gold to the value of $138,000
a ton.
Thi rich ore is found on the sur
face of the Smuggler claim, owned
by the Shoshone Mining Company,
and was formerly the property of
Elmer S. Dundy, one of the owners
of the Hippodrome in New York. He
sold his interest to the Shoshone
Company, retaining some of the
shares to the value of the property.
A force is at work opening the
mine by means of an open cut. Men
are kept on guard continually, as
'the ore is so rich that fortunes could
be carried away in a night.
GOLDSBORO MAN FOUND DEAD.

FIFTY NEW DAILY PAPERS.
Washington July 27.—Fourth As
sistant Postmaster General De Graw
has made public a communication to
his Department which states that
fifty weekly and semi-weekly papers
in towns and cities of Iowa are to
be made dailies, backed by an or
ganization of capitalists.
Two pages of the papers are to
be printed at one central place and
distributed to the towns, where the
remaining two pages will be filled
with the local news. The plan, it
is declared, has been made feasible
through the greater demand for
dailies by rural residents whose mail
is now delivered daily through the
rural free delivery service.
CATCHER BADLY HURT.
New ’York, July 27.—Catcher
Phelps, of the Cincinnati baseball
team met with a rather serious acci
dent with New York at the Polo
Grounds. On the first ball pitched
to Mertes in the first inning the ball
bounded out of Phelps’ hands, and
rolled at the feet of Mertes. The
latter had struck at the ball and was
swinging his bat back into position,
when it hit Phelps on the head and
felled him to the ground, knocking
him unconscious. Several physicians
rushed to his aid, and he was car
ried to thq^gincinati benches with
blood flowing ,.om a deep wound on
the top of his head.
PHOTOGRAPHS OF SUN SPOTS.
Chicago, Ill., July 27.—Several of
the assistants of the University of
Chicago astronomers who have been
at the Yeskes Observatory at Wil
liams Bay, Wis., returned today, bring
ing more negatives of photographs of
sun spots taken several days ago. The
scientists fear that the phenomenon
will not continue as long as they
hoped, because of the sun’s rotation.
The question whether this phenome
non has any direct connection with
atmospheric disturbances on the earth
is still in dispute among the astrono
mers. Some assert that the recent hot
wave was a result of the sun’s disturb
ance, while others disagree with it,
contending that the severe weaher of
this season is a natural sequence of
the rule that an unusually severe win
ter is invariably followed by an equal
ly hot summer.

Charlotte Men Aroused Over the
Crime Against Woman—Assail
ant Caught in Pineville and
Confessed Crime.
(Special to The Evening Times.)
Charlotte, N. C., July 27.—Ed
Hall, a young negro, attempted
criminal assault upon Mrs. Mack
Auten, wife of a well-to-do farmer,
at her home near the city, yesterday
morning, but was foiled in his pur
pose. He evaded a hundred armed
men led by the sheriff for several
hours, but was finally captured at
Pineville, in this county, at 3:30
o’clock in the afternoon.
Hall was employed at J, II. Aus
tin’s meat market, in this city, and
he was sent to the Auten home after
a load of beef. He went into the
house where Mrs. Auten was alone,
and, on some pretext, asked her to
’phone to town for him. She com
plied, and was turned with her face
to the ’phone when the negro threw
his arm around her from behind and
attempted to drag her down. She
screamed and fought desperately. A
man who was working near by heard
her cries and started toward the
house, whereupon the negro broke
and ran, leaving the woman on the
floor in a half-fainting condition.
The news spread quickly in all
directions for several miles around,
and in an hour, numerous armed
parties were scouring the woods.
Bloodhounds were put on the trail.
Officers at Pineville .were notified
by telephone and were furnished
with a description , of the negro.
When Hall, travel-stained and weary,
reached that town in his mad flight
for liberty, two-constables arrested
him. He denied his'identity ’then,
but, when he was brought to this
city and confronted with men who
knew him, he confessed.
There have been wild rumors of
lynching, but the negro is now safely
in jail and no trouble is expected.
The criminal will have a riolimi-
nary hearing this afternoon.

ADD IMPORTANT’ CAPTURE BY J
PLANS GF CONSPIRACY RE-
AEA LED.
Sevastopol, July z V.—The court-
martial of the mutineers among the
crow of the Georgie Peblojedonosets,
which at first joined the Potempkin
in the recent Black Sea revolt, but
later surrendered to the authorities,
has brought to light the fact that a
widespread conspiracy for revolt ex
isted among the salors of the Black
Sea fleet, and the artillery in the
fortress at Sevastopol.
The plot included the seizing of
all vessels in the fleet and the fort
ress at Sevastopol. It was then plan
ned to send an ultimatum to the
Czar demanding that he should
grant to Russia a satisfactory con
stitution. In case he refused the
mutineers intended to use the fleet
to bombard every city and town on
the Black Sea which refused to join
in the revolt. The conspiracy only
failed because the men on the Potem
kin acted hastily and mutinied be
fore the conspirators had completed
their plans. The discovery of the
conspiracy has resulted in the ar
rest of 2,500 sailors and soldiers at
Sevastopol and other cities in South
ern Russia.

Mr. Knabenshue $5,000 to sail from
Coney Island to the Statue of Liberty
and back.
“Will he do it?” said the press
agent. “Just watch us.”
AGED MAN SENTENCED TO SING
SING.
New York, July 27.-—What was
practically a life sentence in Sing
Sing Prison was today imposed upon
Edward H. Neidinger, an aged man,
who last week was convicted of im
proper conduct in connection with
the so-called Flower Clubs, which
ho organized for little girls.
Nineteen years and 10 months,
within two months of the extreme
penalty provided by the law, was
the sentence of the court. In pass
ing sentence, however, Judge Fos
ter, before whom the case had been
tried, urged that throe other indict
ments against the prisoner be press
ed immediately, so that a longer
term in prison for Neidinger might
be assured.
Should the prisoner be convicted
on all the indictments he could be
sent to prison for 80 years. It was
decided, however, that he will not be
put on trial again at present, but
that the indictments be held over
him in readiness for immediate use
should he survive the present sen
tence. In view of his age and rath
er delicate health it is not believed
that it will ever be necessary to use
the additional indictments.

MRS. MAYER FOUND TIME FOK
LAW SUITS.
New York, July 27.—After wait
ing 25 years, until she had succeed
ed in helping her husband to con
quer poverty and brought a family
of six children through a period of I
infancy, Mrs. Sophie Mayer, of 105 |
Attorney street, is at last going to
realize the ambition of her girlhood
and become a lawyer.
Mrs. Mayer is 43 years old, but is
as light-hearted and aspiring as a
girl of 20. She is the wife of Adolph
11. Mayer, an East Side ‘attorney.
For two years she has attended the
department of law of New York Uni
versity, graduating in June. She has
just been informed that she
passed the examination with the high
average of 95, although all the time
she was studying she was handi
capped by her family cares.
Mrs. Mayer was born in Warsaw,
Russian Poland. When a child sho
attracted attention because of her
remarkable quickness in learning
languages. In her studies at school
sho was equally proficient, and while
at the Warsaw Gymnasium for Girls
was given a medal by the Empress
of Russia for standing at the head
of her class. It was her ambition
to enter one of the professions, and
her parents were willing to assist
her in this. But she met Mr. Mayer
and love routed all of her ambitions
projects. She married the young,
man and with him came to America.
To attend the university Mrs.
Mayer was forced to get up at 5
o’clock every morning, so as to per-
for her household duties before the
time for setting forth to pursue her
studies.
RIOT OF DELEGATES AT ZIONIST’S
CONGRESS.
Basel, July 27.—The prediction made
yesterday that the sessions of the Zi
onist’s congress would be attended by
rioting was fulfilled by the events of
today, when the delegates began to
assemble. In a scramble for the best
seats in the hall the delegates mixed
things up by clubbing each other with
pieces of broken chairs, e:c. It was
necessarj' to call the police to preserve
order. At another fight outside the
synagogue the fire brigade was sum
moned and finally dispersed them.
ROBERT N. PAGE AT SANFORD.

Subject.
(Special to The Evening Times.)
Sanford, N. C., July 27.—Under
the auspices of the Sanford and
Jonesboro Epworth Leagues, Hon.
Robert N. Page, of Washington, D.
C., spoke to a cultured and .attentive
audience at the Methodist church
last night. He chose for his sub
ject, “The Selection of an Ideal in
the Formation of a Character.” He
followed the subject closely and
brought forth thoughts that were of
intrinsic value to those who heard
him. Great emphasis was made up
on the selection of an ideal and the
formation of a character. He said
the true ideal to follow was not the
person who sought welath and fame
and power, but the one who strived
to give his life toward uplifting those
about him. His address was of such
a nature that it would be well for
every one to follow the suggestions
given.
COLORED BISHOP OF SOUTH

KAISER REWARDS A NEGRO.
Washington, July 27.-—Emperor
William has presented a silver watch
and chain to George Ellis, a negro,
who prevented the destruction of the
statue of Frederick the Great, given
to the United States by the Emperor,
when a box containing an explosive
was thrown at it by Gessler Rosseau,
the dynamite crank, who. was af
terward arrested in Philadelphia.
Rosseau drove to the Washington
barracks reservation in a carriage
and threw the explosive under the
statue. Ellis saw smoke coming out
of the box, and, picking it up on
the end of a stick, threw it from
him. It exploded, stunning Ellis and
breaking a number of windows in
the neighborhood.
The watch has the Emperor’s
monogram engraved on the back. It
is now in the hands oi the State De
partment, and will be presented to
Ellis by the Diplomatic Bureau.
DEATH OF R. M. SLOAN AT

eyars.
New York, July 27.—August Bel
mont, the banker, has been made
defendant in the Supreme Court in
a suit brought by John H. Fireit, a
jockey, to recover one hundred thou
sand dollars damages. Th’e jockey
asserts that by reason of a notice,
which he says Belmont caused to be
published about him, his reputation
and good name have been damaged
to the amount of ninety thousand
dollars, the remaining ten thousand
is based on the alleged refusal of
another horseman to employ him
because of the alleged complaint. Mr.
Belmont’s defence is yet to come.
PUSHING WORK ON ROAD.
Court at Marion—A Big Docket—New
CHAIN GANG.
Marion, N. C., July 27.—McDowell
county Superior Court is in session
this week with Judge M. H. Justice
presiding, and Solicitor Spainhour
prosecuting. There is a pretty full
docket consisting of petty cases, with
the exception of two or three; one for
murder in which Ben Carr is charged
with the killing of John Higgins, an
other negro boy last spring, and State
vs. H. P. Lynch, from Rowan county,
for forgery. Lynch forged the name
of the Cleveland Manufacturing Com
pany to a check and had it cashed
here.
The chain-gang, which the commis
sioners established at their July meet
ing, will start off with a pretty good
crowd, judging from the present
docket.
Congressman J. H. Gudger was on
the ground this week looking after
his “fences” and shaking hands with
his friends..
The South & Western Railroad peo
ple are still pushing the work on their
road. They recently received three
or four car-loads of supplies for con
struction work with two cars of pow
der and dynamite. Large squads of
hands pass here daily going out to the
works.
PET ELEPHANT SICK.
New York, July 27.—Jennie, the
pet elephant of the Thompson &
Dundy herd, which was sent to Luna
Park from the Hippodrome at the
close of the city season, is ill from
a chill contracted at the abrupt ter
mination of the hot spell last week.
Peter Barlow, the trainer, says he
is afraid Jennie cannot live. The
show managers declare that the rest
of the herd seems well aware that
the pet of the herd is very sick, and
have been acting nervously at all
the performances recently.
