A Singular Verdict.

Three months have elapsed, but that
murder. like many another murder, does
not out You recOllect the tale the
triple murder heal Moncure, 20 miles
South of Raleigh. Old Mrs. Olive Gun
ter, with her daughter Jane, and a little
grandchild, lay peacefully sleeping IN
their cottage. A man,-nay, a fend,
in mans shape! = stole into their cham
Der, and creeping in rear of the old lady
choked her to death! The daughter
stirred, and he dashed out her brains
The little girl stirred, and he struck her
a blow, designed perhaps to kill, per-
haps only to stunn! Then the house
was ransacked. 1t was supposed the
old granny had money. She was known
to have 500 in bills.
The man last at the house at night,
the first to find the slain women on the
morrow, was Baxter Gunter son.
brother. -father,-of the three victims.
Could God let live on earth a sane man
who could coolly chop the life out Of his
aged mother, his sister, and his daugh-
ter? For the honor of humanity let US
hope not!
And yet,-who? There were no
strangers about. There was no motive
(save robbery for any outsider /; and
many articles of value which a mere rob-
Der would have taken, were not dis
turbed. 4 coroner's inquest was held ;
the country secured the telegraph
flashed in all directions /; and thousands
of eyes were on the alert for signs OF
guilt. Evidently the crime was done by
a single person, and one who had not
far to go.
The jury spent week after week in
hearing the testimony of seventy wit
nesses and then last week rendered
the following verdict:
THAT the said Mrs. Olive Gunter
and Miss Jane Gunter came to their
deaths by blows from In axe, but that
part of the jury find that there is not
sufficient evidence to designate any per-
son or persons as the guilty party; the
other part of the jury think that the cir
cumstances point to Baxter Gunter as
the murderer and warrant his arrest"
Part don't and part" do; but
which part" was biggest? Such a YER
dict is worse than hone. 1t casts a
stigma upon Baxter Gunter without
giving him a trial to settle the question
of his guilt or innocence.
The case has other curious features,
Why has not a reward been offered
Why does not the county employ a de.
tective to unravel so foul a crime?

The difference in color denotes the
difference in quality and flavor. Our
North Carolina Bright Tobaccos are
mainly used IN manufacturing cigars,
cigarettes, twists. and the fragrant fine

Now, the reason OF tobacco IS su-
perior for these uses is because OF It's
fineness, mildness, and bright color. 1t
is mild and bright because it has less
nicotine and mineral matter than your

also more healthful. Many of the old

ATTEMPTED HOMICIDE

ATTEMPTED HOMICIDE. Saturday
night about nine o'clock, City Marshal
Hale, while standing in front Mr.. W. j.
McDoDald's saloon, heard a pistol shot In
the direction Of General Brady's office.
Mr.. Hale made all possible haste to the
spot, but could see nothing. A moment la
ter Gen. Brady appeared with a lamp and
asked: "Is that you Mr.. Marshal? Be-
ing answered in the affirmative, Brady
stated that he had been fired on by some
one through his window from the yard,

thorough search of the premises, which

What Will They do With 1t?

Our Democratic readers are probably
interested in the action of the caucus OF
Democratic Congressman to decide the
position of the party on the Tariff ques-
ton.
Well. the caucus met, and was large
" attended. Feeling ran high, and the
debate ran long. Vhe Randali-Penn-
sylvania-Protectio element stood Ike
an iron front and succeeded in gaining
their end. They could not prevent the
adoption Of a resolution in favor of
Tariff Reform but they got the reso-
luton worded 10 say, not the Morrison
bill. but a Bill, some Bill,-a so-called
Bill, They knew, of course, that I'M
less they were formally bound to one
Bill. they could scatter their votes in
favor OF various bills and thus defeat
the passage of any. Next, they OBJ
tanned a resolution declaring that every
man might vote as he pleased on the
Tariff question. The net results, there
fore. was that 60 Protectionists prevent
ed any decided action by the 100 Re-
formers. A further resolution, offered
by Speaker Carlisle, pledged the caucus
TO the repeal of the internal tax on to-
bacco and the reduction OF that on
brandy made from fruits TO ten cents on
the gallon, provided that these articles
should share the fate OF the proposed
reduction of the customs duties.
INFERENCEs.
From all that appears on the surface
we infer as follows:-
lst. Congress will tinker over the
Morrison bill, emasculate it, tie its fin
gers and toes, daub it with soothing
syrup, and then-kill it, and pass some
hasty bill Matched under sam Ran1all's
hat.
End. Tobacco and applejack will be
''reduced''-slightly by Bills, and large
ly by corious guilds and cocktails.
3rd. Congress will get the Hay fe-

mac fiat ague, and the fever TO know

The average yield per acre in the
United States is 73l pounds, and in
Kentucky $50 pounds per acre. The
largest yield is in Connecticut, but the
grade is coarse.
Speaking in a general way, about
2OO.0 000 pounds of tie crop of the
United States are consumed by the
home population. and the remainder is
exported.
The taxes on tobacco, levied by gov
ernments in which trade is unrestricted
by regee monopolies, are the most oner-
Il eXacted from any product of honest
industry. The English duty is 81 ceuts
per pound, or ten times the value of the
commodity. The American tax is l6
cents per pound, and the German about
10 cents per pound.

sire to protect their W producers, then
we are the last people on earth who
ought to complain. After surrounding

to exclude virtually all the products Of
Germany which compete with ours, it is
rather late for Us to advocate retalia-

ly follows our example,

day to visit the family of Mr.. Hugh

to a spring wagon drawn by a mule,
whose bride was held by Mr.. John Bell,
a young man from the Cooke farm.
The moment Miss Wainwright stepped
into the wagon the mule dashed off,
down West Hargett street. The young
nan pluckily held on to the bride, but
was dragged along until at the corner
of Harrington street he was thrown TO
the ground and the wheels passed over
him, causing bad wounds on the fore
head. The mule fled until it ran into
the planning mills of Briggs s. Sons.
The young lady was thrown out and
struck a pile of lumber with great vio-
lence. She was taken into the house
Of Mr.. Pell, and received medical atten-
ton. She was for a long time uncon-
scious. Afterwards she complained OF
intense pain in the chest and side. and
perhaps may have suffered internal in

Bell was taken TO his home --OJSerrer
