BLOODsHED AvERTED,
CRIME IN NORTH CAROLINA.
Detectives Getting at the Facts In the
Murder of the Finch Family.


RALKIGH, N. c., Aug. 3.-Five weeks
ago the triple murder OF the Finch family,
in Chatham county, excited the people OF
the entire State. Continued efforts have
been made to unrayel the mystery, and
detectives from Richmond, Va, were en-
plOyed. They have done important work
and the net Is fast closing in on the muir
derers. Two are in iail, and third, a negro
named John Pattisham, has been cap
tured here. This evening q negro woman
was arrested aud a large sum Of money
found in her possession. 1t is said to be
made evident that she was present at the
time Of the murder. A most remarkable
fact is that these murderers are the same
who eighteen months ago killed
the Gunter family. within a few miles Of
the same place. That crime has until
now been one of ghasJly mysteries. De-
tectiyes were not then employed and the
facts not ascertained. The murders We're
of similar character-both of them were
committed at night, the same weapons,
axes, were used, and the houses We're ran
sacked in the same manner. In the first
two persons we're Drained and a child left
for dead, with its skull fractured in ten
places; yet the latter lived. La the second
murder a venerable man and woman aud
young negro boy we're Drained. If
few more facts are gathered as to the guilt
of the persons under arrest IL will be diff
cult tos ave them from lynching. Last
month five notorious murderers made
their escape from AsheYille jail. The
grand jury on Saturday made a report
censuring the Sheriff aud jaier for culpa-
bic negligence in the matter and demand
ing an investigation by the county au-
thOrities. No tidings nave been heard OF
IN East Tennessee.

INDIA,s TERRIBLE NARCOTICS.
CANA and its Fearful Power of Making
Murderers of its Victims.
Prom the London Telegraph.


From the London Telegraph.
Opium and ganja are the two narcotics
best known in the East. In the West,
fortunately, we have but little experience
Of either. The former steals away, albeit
with cOnsummate fascination, a mans
intellectual energies, and, in consequence,
therefore, his PHYSICAL energies, TOO. The
latter makes a mad, wild beast of him,
works him up suddenly into a frenzy Of
malignant purpose, reckless of his own
life or of the life of others. The
Indian government, therefore, draws a
wide distinction between the two.
Without actually encouraging, as 1t has
been accused OF doing, the consump-
ton OF the poppy juice in the empire, it is
content to restrict its use by limitations
on the sale. In the case of the gania,
however, Is has positively forbidden the
drug, and the sale or purchase Of it is pc
nal by law. Nor is this distinction with
out some justification. The Opium-eater
is an innOcuOUs and harmless person.
He Injuries no one but himself: he sins,
perhaps, by omission, but not by COM
mission. The ganja eater, on the other
hand, is invariably law-breaker. He
becomes at once criminal.
The Yillainous decoction seems
to have the strange power OF
bringing to the surface all that is vicious
and bad in its most violent forms. Of
such men murderers and assassins are
made. In the Ghazi villages it is ''ganja"
or bang" as the different preparations
of hemp are called, which is used for the
stimulation OF the fanatics, who are then
sent out into the world TO "run-a-muck"
and to Kill and be killed "fOr the faith"
"Hasheesh" is another product OF the same
terrific plant, and is itself the root of the
word ''assassin." Dragged with this awful
paste, the slaves of the Old Man of the

WHERE THE COCOA GROWS.
How Cortez and sis Soldiers Lived on

From the Tyoo Republics.
Mexicans cultivated cocoa and prepared
it in cakes like chocolate.
1t appears that the use Of cocoa was in

parts OF the continent.
The cocoa prospers in the damp, warm

hibited.
MISS HILL DRAWS A REVOLVER.
Judge Evans and ex-senator Stewart, OF
the counsel for ex-senator Sharon, tool

liable. Miss Hill became greatly excited
at their comments, and thrustng her
hand into a satchel drew out q revolver,
which she pointed at ex-senator Stewart.
remarking that If he continued his strict
ures she would make him pay dearly for
them. General commOtIOn followed.

Master in Chancery Houghton advanced
toward Miss Hill, and urgently requested
her to remain calm. He finally succeeded
in obtaining possession Of the revolver,
and adjourned the hearing until to-day
