A DiaboIical Murder in North Carolina
RALEIGH IN. c., September 29th.-On
Thursday night the store of A. D. Owens,
at Cresweli, Martin county, was entered by
burglars. Owens dwelling adjoined the
store. He heard the noise and stepped to
the dosr. As he did so he saw two
burglars. One fired, killing Owens. Since
that time the authorities have been on the
track of the burglars and murderers. On
Monday night Sheriff Sprewill arrived at
Plymouth with the wife of the murdered
man and two negroes. Another negro,
James Davenport, alias James Ambrose,
was shot and killed. One of the negroes
made a confession some days ago,
as follows That Mrs. Owens had
hired them 10 kill her husband. She
wished them to drown him, and prepared
water in a barrel for that purpose. She
gave him medicine to pat him in a sound
sleep, and three negroes actually stood by
his bedside ready to commit the crime, III
their courage failed them. Finally, AM
brose, some nights afterwards, entered the
store, and when Owens appeared shot him.
Ambrose was pursued, and on making a
desperate attempt to kill members of the
Sheritfs posse, was shot through the heart.
Mrs. Owens and the other two negroes are
now in Jail at Plymouth awaiting trial.
Latest Hop Reports.
New YORK, September 29th.-In the hop
market there is little more than retail bust
ness here at the present time. Some very
good quality of new Pacific are offered on
spot at 50 cents, and a lair article went at
90 cents. In the States there is not enough
doing to establish a market. A Western
party is said to have given 30 cents for a
50-bale lot of choice new white. Common
grades and inferior lots go begging at 60
cents or Whereabouts. Some fair quality of
1885 crop, lately reshipped from abroad, are
offering at II and Is cents. The following
are as near as can be got TO the market

Patriotic Germans.
New York, September 29th.-The indie
pendent German-American Citizens organ-
ization has issued the following call for a
mass meeting: 1.-The dynamite offense
committed at Chicago has awakened anew
in the hearts of native-born Americans a
loud prejudice against naturalized citizens
of German descent. We are charged with
the crime of importing anarchism. We
are under the suspicion of being hostile to
the free institutions of the United States,
and there exists a strong propensity to de-
stroy, or at least to diminish, in large pro-
portion, the social and political influence
which Germans have finally succeeded in
gaining after a hard struggle. 1t is our in
tention to counterfeit that prejudice. The
duty is devolved upon us to prove that the
accusations made are g~roundless. This we
can only do by taking an active part in
political life, and by making a wise use of
u rights of voting"
Carson Win to Open.
WASHINGTON, September 29th.-Acting
Secretary Fairchild has authorized the re-
opening of the Mint at Carson City, New,
as an assay office for the receipt of deposits
of bullion. This action was taken IN the
recommendation of the Director of the
Mint and with the full approval of the
President. 1t is intended as an expert
ment, as it is said to the Department that
it is doubtful whether the deposits at the
Mint will warrant even its being conducted
as an assay Office. Its future operation as a
coinage Mint will depend altogether upon
the extent of its deposits.

postpone sentence.
