". j. PEELE, ESQ, of Raleigh, writes
There are but two live issues in State poll
tics. One is thar framed by the Demo
Gratis and presented to the Republicans:
that they stole fifteen or twenty million
dollars in 1S6S'7o and are not fit to be
trusted The other is presented by the
Republicans: that the Democrats are a
party led by aristocrats and bourbons and
that they legislate in favor of the rich
and against the poor and are therefore not
fit to be trusted
Upon these two issues the two parties
put themselves upon God and their coun-
try. As to the Democratic issue, the
Republicans confess and avoid by say
ing that they are better than they
were in '6s and 10, and they also p:sad
the statute of limitations, and say the
other side is threshing oyer the same old
straw. AS to the Republican issue, the

FANNY DAVENPORT ARRAIGNED,
Judge HOge Poses Before the Court
as the Distinguished Church
PrOtege.

When the Third District Court opened
this morning Attorney Dickson rose and
said: eff your Honor please, in the case
OF Fanny Davenport, indicted for con-
spiracy and keeping a house of prostit,,-
ton, L ask that the defendant, through
her attorney, be arraigned.'
Judge Hoge-We are ready to plead,
your Honor. [ will stand UP (posing) as
Fanny Davenport, according to the sug-
gestion of the District Attorney. We
waive the reading of the Indictment, and
enter plea of not guilty.
Judge-Is this your name on the in
dlctment your true name? [Great
laughter in court.
Mr.. Dickson-How about the other in
dictment; do you waive the reading of
that also?
Judge Hoge here engaged in a whis-
pered conversation with Mr.. Dickson, and
the latter afterwards announced to the
court that it had not yet been decided
that Mr.. Hoge would act as counsel in the
other case, SO that it might be we'll to
hold that over for the present.
The spectators and attorneys had be-
come SO thoroughly convulsed with
laughter over the amusing spectacle of
Judge Hoge posing as the capricious
Fanny Davenport, that it required some
to recover, and the Judge him.
self gave evidence of having thoroughly
appreciated the situation.

Tonight the Home Dramatic Club will
present the sensational drama 'The Long
Strike" as testimonial benefit to Mr.,
William Lansing, The piece has been
given on one former occasion here nv
the same company and drew out a LARGE
house. 1t is a play of excellent merit
and well-woven plot, and will be put
on the boards this evening, it is safe to
say, at least so per cent. more cleyerlv
than on its former presentation, for the
reason that it is cast to so much better
advantage. Mr.. Lansing himself, Mr..
wells, Nh. Spencer, Mr. Cummings, Mr..
Young, Mr.. White, Miss Edith Clawson
and great many others will appear. and
certainly no local production has ever
brought out stronger array of talent
MIR. Lansing is worthy OF the public's
patronage, not any more SO, however,
than the piece itself, so that the combined
inducements should certainly attract a
good-sized audience.

Three Men Killed and Several
Wounded at st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, April 9.-The deputies anu
guards at the Louisville & Nashville yards
near Broadway fired into a crowd OF 3oO
strikers about 2:30 o'clock this afternoon.
Five men and one woman were shot. Ihree
men, were killed and the woman, Is
supposed to be mortally wounded:
The killed are Pat Bristol, an employe OF
the water works, and not striker; oscar
water works laborer, and not a striker;
Major Richman, shot in the head and shout
der, and will probably die; Mrs. John
Pfeiffer, shot in the back and probably NOR
tally wounded; an unknown man, shot at
the bridge approach:
They made no attacks on the yards, as
first reported, but were standing ON the Ca
hokia bridge near the Louisville d Nashville
yards, jeering at the guards, when without
apparent provocation the deputies leyeled
their rifles and fired two yolleys.
The crowd Immediately separated, run
ming in all directions, and the deputies ran
over the Cahokia bridge towards the Mis-
souri, River bridge, still holding their rifles
and firing to cover their retreat.
When it was known by the strikers that
the guards had fled, the former returned to
recover their dead. They found Pat Bris-
coll and Oscar Washington lying on the
Cahokia bridge, and were dead when found.
John Brohman was also found on the bridge,
but showed signs of life, was taken to the
switch and died in few minutes. Mrs
Pfeiffer was found lying on the railroad
about 100 yards from Cahokia bridge.
The crowd, after firing began, ran up
Broadway shouting: "To armsr' $40 armsp'

RECORDER CANNON's CONTEMPT.
He Hes an Examination Before
Judge Zane and Is Discharged.

County Recorder George NJ. Cannon
was arraigned before Judge Zane this
morning to answer the Courts charge Of
contempt in the matter of his alleged in
f1uencing Juror N. H. Greene The clerk
read the statement setting forth Mr..
! Greene's version of the interview, and Mr..
Cannon was asked if he desired to inter
rogate Greene before making his own
answer Mr. Cannon expressed a de-
sire to do this, stating that Greene's state
ment was incomplete, and the latter took
the stand He was asked number of
questions which brought out the facts
that the conversation relating to the
Morris-Mammoth suit had been sug-
gested by Greene's own remarks on the
merits of jury trials Greene had stated to
Mr.. Cannon that he himself had a
case coming up in court, and this led to a
discussion as to respective merits of sub
uniting civil cases to a jury or to judge.
Mr.. Cannon, it seems, referred to the
Morris case as an illustration of how un-
satisfactory jury trials sometimes are,
stating that one juror in this instance,
1.-THE trial last year, had stood out against
returning verdict, and the voice and
judgment of the other eleven were thus
unfairly silenced, and it transpired after
wards that the party who hung the jury
was interested in protecting the defend
ants. Mr.. Cannon denied having
brought up this instance after he knew
Greene was q juror, and insisted that
he all l. l.
panel he offered no further remark, more |
than he did not wish to influence any
juror. He had said to Greene, when |
speaking of the Morris suit, that he had |
been very much interested in it, because
Of being son-in-law of Mr.. Morris and
that if verdict was not obtained
or the amount sought to be recovered
hat it would probably ruin Mr.. Morris.
MIR. Greene was questioned by the
Judge as to whether Mr.. Cannon had ex-
pressed his views ON the Morris matter
before or after he had been told of
1reene's being juror, but Mr. Greene
vas unable to remember exactly regard
ng the point. He acknowledged to the
Judge that in his opinion Mr.. Cannon
lad not spoken of the matter with anv
Intention of influencing him as a Juror.
nd the Judge concluded that he would
i've Mr.. Cannon the benefit of the
oubt and discharge him. Be-
ore doing so, however, he took
ccasion to impress on Mr.. Cannon's
hind that an official of experience should
now better than to approach Juror, on =
objects before the court, whether or not {
ne latter was drawn for any particular !
use. 1t appears that Mr.. Greene's state ;.

Groo Pays 1859. 20 for Liberty.

Last evening, after the DEMOCRAT had
gone to press, Commissioner Mckay de.
MED the application of Isaac Groo, pray
ing for liberty on the grounds of his
being unable to pay the fine and costs in
his case. The Commissioner held that
it had been shown in the examination yes
terday morning that Groo's possessions
IN Wyoming exceeded the $40 prescribed
IN the oath or affidavit, and it was there
fore ordered that the fine and costs.
amounting to $369.7O, be paid forthwith
or that the prisoner be remanded back to
the penitentiary.
Mr.: Mckay expressed the opinion that
ne believed Groo amply able to discharge
the obligation, and this opinion proved
to be well founded. for within a yerv
short time after the Commissioners or
der had been issued the necessary
amount was handed over and Mr.. Groo
marched forth free man. He had been
permitted to visit the Herald Office dur
ing the afternoon, in the custody of Den.
uty Franks, and it is supposed he received
aid from his son, who is editor-in-chief of
the Herald.

POVERTY STRICKEN EX-CONVICTS
Connolly and White Say They Are
Not Worth $50.

District Attorney Dickson is determined
to thoroughly test the ability of the
polygamist convicts to pay their fines and
the costs of their cases. This morning
John Connolly and Charles White were
released on precisely the same grounds
that those yesterday were liberated, viz. +:
| After serving an additional month, in lieu
! OF paying the fine and COSTS They were
taken before Commissioner Mckay and
examined as to their financial standing.
White has positively nothing except
two wives, and it required very little
effort on his part to assure the court of
this fact: The Commissioner, however,
was not inclined to accept Mr.. Connelly's
pleadings of poverty, and Mr.. Dickson
made it appear that indeed Connolly was
able to pay. Connolly swore, however.
that he did not own a dollars worth of
property OF any kind, and that he had no
means of meeting the obligation.
1t happens that Connolly, some two
months previous to his being arrested
last fall, had decided his grocery store,
bakery and all other possessions over to
his families and left himself practically
penniless. He assured a DEMocRAT re-
porter this afternoon that at the time he
made the transfer he had no idea of being
arrested, as he had concluded some
months before that the courts had de-
clded TO let his marriage relations alone.
Attorneys Sheeks & Rawlins and lie
