HORRIBLE MURDER AND
ROBBERY.
Great Excitement-an Arrest.

RALEIGH, N. c., July 6.
A special to the Ne,cs- Observer from
Moncure, N. c., says: Edward Finch,
aged rs, his sister aged 80, both
white, and negro boy about 10 years of
age, were murdered near here Saturday /,
night between midnight and day light
The throats of all were cut, evident that
all had been knocked in the head with
an axe. 1t is reported that several hun
dred dollars in money were stolen from
the house of Finch. It is thought pfoba-
BILE that the robbers became murderers
to screen themselves from detection;
also reported this morning that one of
the murderers has been captured at home
with his hand yet red with the blood Of
the victims. 1t is said he was in the
house washing the blood from his hands.
Great excitement prevails in the entire
section among all classes of people ands
earnest efforts are being made to dis
cover the murderers, of whom there are
believed to be several. The scene. of the
murder is only about mile from that of
the famous Gunter murder Is months
ago and s milessfrom Moncure.

A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
A Large Amount of Tobacco
Destroyed.
The Result of Fourth Of July
Celebration.
MADISON, Wis, July 6tl

MADISON, Wis, July 9th.
One of the most disastrous fires that
ever occurred in this section of the State
took place at Stoughton yesterday, burn
ing ten out OF thirteen large tobacco
warehouses. The St. Paul depot and
about twenty freight cars, loaded with
wheat and merchandise, causing loss
estimated all the way from $500,000 to
81 100000. The fire originated in. an old
hay press now used as the box factory
The tobacco warehouses were all owned
by New York and Philadelphia tobacco
houses, Oppenheimer and Co., Rosewald
& Co., Cohen & Co., and John Mark, of
Chicago being among losers. The fire
probably caused the heaviest destruction
of tobacco that has ever occurred in the
United States at one time from that
cause. 1t is estimated that fully one
third of the entire Wisconsin tobacco
crop of last year was consumed. There
were about 5000 cases stored in the
warehouses ready for shipment. These
cases were worth about fifty dollars a
piece, thus making loss on tobacco
about $45O,0O0. The warehouses were
worth about $4,000 each, making an ad-
ditional loss of $25, 600 The depot was a
large frame structure which had been
recently repaired, so that it was almost
entirely new. A large amount of freight
was stored in the depot. Several freight
cars which were burned were standing
on the side track and in the excitement
of the fire it was impossible to remove
them to safe location. Nothing can be
learned of the origin of the fire; the gem
eraI opinion, however, is that it was
started by some Fourth of July patriot
who was careless in the use offirewofks.
The loss is partially covered by insur-
ance, though the exact amount could not
be learned. The loss of seven. compa-
nies, represented by A. III. Main of this
city, is $5S,5OO. Individual losses fall
mostly on eastern buyers, though some
of the Stoughton buyerslost from 5000
to S75 600, and will be ruined by it.. The
disaster will throw about five hundred
people out of employment.

8 CHIoAGo, July 6.
Two hundred strikers, several of Pin
kerton's detectives and few deputy
sherifs arrived at the Western Avenue
car barn at 5 O'Clock this morning, and
half an hour later four hundred police
men were on the ground. They were
detailed from five precincts and were
commanded by Capt. Fonbeld Cara
will be run out on Van Bufen, Madison,
Randolph and Lake streetss All Of the
streets named will be patrolled by police
and every effort will be made to keep
car tracks free of distractions. The fire
department has been instructed to be in
readiness in case of any disturbance,
when q. liberal supply of water will be
showered upon any parties tending dis
position to break peace. Stacks of arms
with bayonets have been conveyed from
police stations.to barns, and police armed
with these weapons will charge on any
persons who attempt to attempt to OBJ
struct the passage of cars. Each car will
be in charge of two or three policemen,
the object being to allow as many officers
as possible an opportunity to patrol the
streets along railroad tracks. 1t is feared
in some quarters that serious trouble may
ensue during next hour; at this time, 7:So
a. M; Str ikers who are gathered in the
vicinity of barns assert that should the
police carry out their present intention
of patrolling routes of travel, leaving cars
in charge. OF two or three. of their men,
vigorous attack will be made and strikers
will endeayor by every means in their
power to prevent cars from running.
8:45 a. ms-Great crowds hang about
the barns of the car company on Western
Avenue all morning, but the large force
of police was sufficient to suppress any
signs of incipient disorder under protec-
tion of officers. Five cars were, placed
upon Randolph street line and made the
journey down town without eneounterine
any serious opposition. They have now
started on their return trip carrying
however, only one policeman.

TOBACCO SALES.
Mr.. E. I. Holmes, Secretary of the
Tobacco Association of Asheville makes
the following report:
Sales for month of June 337, ,538 pounds,
for $47, ,567 42; average $I4 09 per hum
dred.
Sales from 20th October to 1st July,
3,O43, ,761 pounds, for 1898, ,743 Al, an aver
age of $14 OF per hundred.
5. Last year there was sold on this mar
ket 2.409 ,5O5 pounds, for $459, ,207 ~, an
average Of SIT "a per hundred.
While more tobacco has been sold the
past year, than last, yet. the quality OF
the past winters crop was not so good,
in general, as was that of year ag ,,
besides the supply generally was much
larger and the times the past six months
much worse, financially. Altogether,
our market has well sustained itself in
prices. indeed better than any other.
The coming crop promises to be ex-
ceedingly good in quality, and, in acre
ace throughout Western Carolina, will be
larger than last year.

Proc. w. q. Kerr.

PRoF. w. C. KERR. e0kl ~ =
We re-publish the following from the
Charlotte Home-D Democrat with regret.
We have known Prof. Kerr for many
years and valued him very highly. His
services to the State have been vast and
valuable, not fully appreciated because he
was not able to compress the work of a
life time into the compass of the career of
the average politician. When he is gone,
his loss will then force itself on public at
tention. A letter to us from him written
from Florida gave us intination OF failing
health. We were not prepared to think
the end was so near.
The Home Democrat says
eve regret to learn that Prof. w. G..
Kerr is seriously i'll at Durham. His dis
ease is consumption, and when we saw him
few months ago we feared he would not
live long. Prof. Kerr was State Geologist
for number Of years and as such did a
great deal to show to the public the mineral
resources of North Carolina. He has done
much valuable work for his native State,
and deserves a lasting monument to his
memory. When he dies learned man
and christian will be lost to the
State"

Messrs. Editors After heavy and con-
tinuous rains we are now enjoying sum
shine The Secretary of the weather
must be on a clark for last week, Joe
Roby0 reports balls of fire being tossed
around Hendersonville; this week he
must be handling icebergs rather care
lessly. The prospect for fine yield Of
corn was never better in this county.
The oat crop is unusually promising.
Our people are. busy harvesting their
rye. In quantity this crop will be short,
but this deficiency will be somewhat
supplied by the superior quality of the
grain. -
It is pleasant to read the discussions
now Published IN the CrTIzkoE fIdong the
good people of Bunconhbe ID regard to
the stock law and kindred subjects. 1t
is the more gratifying because of the
evident honest differences, the kindly
feeling with which they are expressed.
We congratulate the CITIZEN that it has
at last induced the farmer ''to speak out
in the meetin'." We hope they will con.
tinue "to turn on the light" We all
need more information and by "giving
our experience" we can at least profit
by the errors we have made. As the
CITIZEN is cosmopolitan in its character,
we hope our Eastern and Piedmont
friends will occasionally let us draw from
their varied experience with the differ
ent commercial fertilizers, soiling, &e., &c.
The discussion of your stock law elic-
tied this remark from a prominent gen.
tleman of this county few days since !:
81 don't know how the law will operate
in Buucombe, but do know whereas in
former years, we sent weekly supplies of
beef and mutton to Greenville s. c.; now
our sheep and cattle find no market
there. Their butchers tell us it is be-
cause. since their State has adopted the
stock law, that they can buy much bet
ter stock at home than we were accus-
toned to bring from the mountain
range.
It is source of very great qualification
and pride to our county, as it will be to
the entire State, to. know that ex-Lt-Gov.
Robinson has been assigned to promi-
nent position in the government.
| A large and varied experience in pub
lie life, a broad, comprehensive mind, a
wonderful capacity for grasping details
and rare executive ability, all combined
with sudviter IN modo, mark him as a
man of fine parts, and we are sure that
in his enlarged field of ofusefulness, he will
honor himself and the State he loves so
| well.
1t is not unusual to see bits of news
culled from the different papers of the
country by the great dailies, but tits un-
usual to see an editorial copied verbatim
ct literatim, and properly accredited, in
a great paper like the World. This oc-
Cured quite recently with an editorial
| from the CITIZEN.
The Catholic views of the CITIZEN on
the subject of journalism in the State
we read with very great interest. We
will hail with delight the day when sec.
tional chickering's shall cease and the
press of this State become homophone
and the burden of its song shall be the
glory, honor, upbuilding of North Car.
