Beaufort County Court yesterday the
grand jury found true bill against r.
G. windley and John w. Stewart
white men) and Ben. Smith (coIored)
for killing William Waters, an old
white man, some months ago. The case
has attracted much attention, particu-
larry as Windley Is man Of large
means and is prominent in business.
The fact that he held q policy Of in
surance upon Waters's life has fur
nished ground for comment. The case
cannot be tried until the next term Of

bail for their appearance. The bond
for Windley was fixed at t25, 900,
Stewards bond at $4,000, and Ben.
Smiths at $4,000.

marketed. 1t is also estimated that
the same quantity has been planted Of
the new crop.
There was quite a sensation in Plea
SAINT Grove township, Johnston county,
yesterday. A party Of revenue officers
had information that desperate named
John Felix Holder was operating an IL
licit distillery.' They found the place
after q great effort and rushed upon
Holder, who was in the still-house in
ravine in the woods. He attempted
to seize gun, but the men were too
quick, and covered him with revolyers.
His still was captured; also, a hundred
gallons Of whiskey, and he was brought
here and put on trial before the United
States commissioner to-day and prompt.
ly sent to jail. He is said to be a reg
ular desperate, who has repeatedly
threatened the lives Of the neighbors.
GENERAL NOTES.
News has been received here of the
damage by yesterdays storm. The
loss of trees and fencing is large. Some
houses are reported as blown down.
No loss OF life is yet reported, though
it is feared this will appear by later re-
ports.
To-day the directors Of the State In
stitution for the Deaf and Dumb and
Blind, in this city, met and reelected
W. J.. Young principal, and John
Grimes steward. The other officers OF
the institution were all reelected.
The Democrats Of Raleigh and this
internal-revenue district have been jubi-
lating all day over the appointment of
W. II. Yarbrough as collector. The re-
cent appointment of Ike Young was
severe blow, and called forth more harsh
expressions than any political step in
some years.
Tomorrow, in the United States Cir
cult Court, the cases of Christian, Of
Richmond, against the Atlantic and
North Carolina railroad will be called.
These are important cases, involving
largely the bonds of the road.
This afternoon the first train left for
the Teachers Assembly at Black Noun
tain. There were over 100 teachers on
board.
BY the end OF the week the number
will certainly be over 500, and may
reach $50. The session ends the last
of the month. The State Superintend-
ent of Public instruction will officially
visit the Assembly on the Goth instant
and will spend some days there.
Governor Scales left for Salem this
evening. He will be received with all
honors there by the military and citi-
zens.
There was q meeting Of the State
Baseball Association here to-day, at
which representatives were present
from Wilmington, Goldsboro', Dur
ham, Henderson, Oxford, and Raleigh.
Many important matters were discussed.
1t was the first regular meeting Of the
Association. Charges were preferred
against the Goldsboro' club for playing
four professionals when the regulations
only allow two.
There was a notable gathering Of
people here to-day from all this Sec
ton Of the State to see the game be-
tween the Raleigh and Durham Clubs,
which was expected to be the most ex-
citing Of the season. Houseman, the
new pitcher of the Raleigh Club, did
good work. The score was Raleigh,
II; Durham, 6. This is the first de-
feat Of the Durham Club this season.
The excitement was very great. The
game was loose one, not up to the
standard in the State, which has been
HIGH this season.
