no doubt; the lines are touchieg. They

Equally melancholy, though with a

The Rage for Crazy Quits.

The particular species Of fancy work
which has lately possessed the minds,
and fingers of young women is that OF
'crazy quilts" Somebody has de-
creed that silk quilts must be made Of
odd pieces, not cut in regular blocks
as our grandmothers made patchwork
but basted on a cambria lining, helter-
SHELTER, the edges turned in and worked
over in brier-stitch or cut-stitch in floss.
The colors of the patches and sewing
silk are chosen hap hazard; the Fscrazi
err the effect Of the work the better.
Somebody made this decree, but the
women went even further in carrying it
out. Not content with crafty stitch
ing the odd pieces Of silk together, they
now embroider every separate patch
in floss, or they decorate it with paint
ing, or they attach to it flower cut from
brocade, like an applique figure, and in
stead Of using only brier stitch and cut
stitch for the joining they employed
every variety Of fancy stitch, Including
all the conceits known as South Ken
sington and Point Russo. And these
same ladies defend their practice by
saying that crazy work affords ample
room for economy, as it enables one to
use every scrap OF silk or vlevet, how
ever small, and it exercises the taste
and ingenuity, as it gives the widest field
for the display of originality. So they
have all taken the craze over crazy work.
When they do notmake quilts of it they
make tides, lambrequins, table. covers
and borders for other quilts.
But, sooner or later, this fashion
must die out. The test Of beauty is
oftenutility, and all expert needle wom-
an must know that the floss raised
above the surface Of the quilt must wear
out before the silk patches Will. What
then will become OF the quilt, once the
stitches have given way? Then the
old time patterns, already become fash
ionable again, will take on q new lease
Of favor. These were made by careful
~ cutting out the silk, basting them
over pieces Of stiff paper and overseam-
ing them finely On the wrong side.
Among the. old patterns those now
growing in popularity are the aa-boy;
consisting of three diam onds, forming
a cube in perspective; the log cabin, Or
state house steps, displaying graduated
strips surrounding a central square, so
as to form as 1t were, piles Of logs Or
flights of steps, and the patty-pan, or
group Of seven hexagons, the whole ef-
feet of a quilt so made being that Of :.
pavement of hexagonal tiles.

Movement OF Cuban FnIibusters.


KEY WEST, FLA, May 13.-lt is fact
that Castro has left here either for Nassau
or some OF the upper keys. He was
thoroughly disguised by shaving his head,
moustache and whiskerS, and took a con-
siderable sum Of money. Several other
Cubans are missing. but they went in par
ties OF not more than two. From an IN
side source it is learned that the
number consists OF not over twelve, and
that they are probably in one OF the Keys,
either on this side or the Bahamas. Some
Cubans claim that they have landed, but
there Is no certainty OF that. aud our authOri-
ties believe they will be captured. Arms
have been coming here in small quantities.
Four lots are said to have come in
Organ-cases. The hope OF the Cubans
seems to be TO lead the country INTO war
with Spain when they look for the indie
pendence OF Cuba. They are raising large
sums of money here, and there seems to be
some activity among their leaders, but 1t
is not probable that another expedition will
leave from this point. Some Of the British
islands near Cape Maisi will be selected
for a rendezvous. Castro has served I'M
der Aguero AID was anxious to share his
successes, and has taken with him, or will
collect at some point to the eastward, few
who were to go with the first expedition,
but were not ready.

| was introduced to Ward, and, after
a short acquaintance with him, he
asked me to join him in a specu-
Iative venture, which turned out to
be successful. After that, he proposed
a partnership, and eventually my brother

shin agreement. 1t was represented that
Ward and Fish were worth $4,000 each
Ward had charge OF the books and safe
room. In fact, everything was entrusted
TO him by the other members OF the firm"
Colonel Grant closed with this remark ::

ooid'biooded Murder One Negro Kills
Another with Pick.
Especial telegram % the Dispatch.I

Especial telegram n the Dispatch.J
CHARLOTTE, n. g., May 13.-To-day a
coiu-plooded murder was committed at
trump gold-mine, eight miles south Of this
pace one negro man telling his COM
pahlon with pick and killing him. The
TWO men became engaged In quarrel, and
before any one could interfere the deed
was done. Rufus Hearne Is the name OF
.he murdered man, and the murderer
named West Thomasson. Thomasson
ana llearne worked together at the Crump
NINE, and at the time the quarrel arose
Ihomasson had pick In his hand, with
which he bad been digging ore. As Hearne
advanced Thomasson raised his pick and
let 10 descend upon Hearne's head with
terrible force. The long, sharp, iron-point-
ed instrument sunk into Hearnes head
ABOUT I'VE inches, making a terrible-look-
my hole, through which IIearne's brains
poured out. The blow imbedded the pick
so tightly in the unfortunate negro's
skull that in trying TO eXtricate 1t the
negro's BODY was dragged about ten
feet by Tho 1iasson, who in savagely jerk
ing at the pick finally succeeded in jerking
1t out. He then threw the bloody weapon
TO the ground: and picking up shotgun
quickly made his escape from the neigh
borhoOd.
The cause OF the quarrel that led to the
tragedy is unknown. IL was most cold
blooded affair, and the friends Of the muir
dered man are terribly indignant and vow
The murderer is resident OF Charlotte
and his family lives here. The assault took
place early in the morning, and Thomas
son died just before shutdown. Hearne
escaped to South Carolina, il is thought.
