RALEIGH, n. c., November 26.--
The absorbing subject Of conversation
to-day was the death OF Vice-President
Hendricks. 1t caused deep grief. lie
visited Raleigh ten years ago and once
spoke here. He was particularly well
remembered in North Carolins by rea-
son Of his presence as the orator at the
Mecklenburg Centennial at Charlotte in
1875. To-day the public buildings here
were draped in mourning, and the ma
tional and State flags on the capitol
and the flag on the City Hall were half
masted.

business. A warehouse will be opened
December 18th.
A very curious case was tried here
in the Superior Court. 1t was that of
the State against r. S. Hunter, deputy
sheriff Of Alamance county. Last Sep
TENDER Hunter had charge Of a white
man named J. Y. Deshong and was
carrying him on the train to Goldsboro'
to be tried for larceny. Deshong
ayailed himself Of the carelessness Of
Hunter and escaped by jumping from
the rear Of the train. Judge Clarke,
then holding court at Goldsboro',
had Hunter arrested on bench
warrant for permitting the prisoner to
escape. The grand jury found a true
bill against him. The verdict on the
trial was guilty. The judge imposed
fine Of $500 and ordered that Hunter
be removed from his Office as deputy
sheriff Of Alamance county. Hunter
appealed to the Supreme Court. The
decision is the first Of the kind ever
rendered in this State.
Ransom Hicks lcolored) is on trial
here for burglary. Last August he en-
tered the dwelling Of Ann Thompson, a

assaulted the woman. The jury is still
out. A verdict Of guilty is expected.

A New York telegram says Mr..
Spencer, the cashier in the office Of
Grant 4 Ward, in the course of his tes-
tmony to-day in the suit Of Receiver
Holt to have set aside the transfers Of
property by Ward TO Warner, said that
be had examined Wards personal ac-
count-bo0ks from lss0 TO 1854 to learn
what profits he had made aside from
what were termed the profits Of the
firm. In this whole period Ferdinand
made a profit of little more than sf0,-
coo. lie collected the dividends on
less stock than he was supposed
to hold in joint account for him
self and others. Ward was supposed
to hold large number Of shares Of
mining stock which be did not have In
his possession. The result was that
when dividends were declared on such
stock Ward was obliged to pay these
parties the amount Of dividend declared
on their stock, which he did not have.
lie collected dividends on about 1000
shares Of mining stock and paid TO his
co-partners in these speculations divi-
dends OH over Q 900 shares. Starting
with December, 1882, it appeared that
Warner received from Grant & Ward in
excess Of what money and collA,erals
be deposited With them about 81, 255,-
Sol.
The witness said that since the last
hearing be had traced three checks de-
posted with Grant 4 Ward by Warner
aggregating $1,000, thus reducing the
excess received by Warner TO the
amount mentioned above. The perso-
nal account Of Ward and the accounts
Of the firm with the Marine and First
National banks were made up largely
Of the moneys deposited by customers
with the firm. The names Of Messrs.
Grace and Tsr""n - a some Ar
these accounts. Il is plain from. The
books Of the firm, said the witness,
that Mr.. Ward took the collaterals de-
posted with the firm and borrowed
money on them for his own and the firms
use. At the time of Grant 4 Wards
failure they were borrowing about
sl2,000,000 on collaterals, only half of
which rightfully belonged to the firm
for such a purpose. On the face Of the
check-boOks, the witness said, irregu-
larities were shown on Mr.. ards part.
One entry showed that Ward had Dor
rowed $4,000 on 1000 shares of Even
ir:s-. ss!ar mining stock SS;TTned ioy himself
and L. S. Grant, Jr. He deposited the
amount borrowed to his own personal
account. On another occasion Ward
borrowed on 1000 shares Of the same
stock from Drexel, Morgan & Co.
s2s, 00e, and pocketed the money. This
stock was the property Of U. s. Grant,
Jr., and Ward owned no part Of it.
