neighbor, the News- Observer,

Our neighbor, the Nevs- Observer,
says: Elsewhere it will be seen that a
writ of error has been allowed by the Su-
preme Court of the United States in the
case of Cross and White. The effect of
this will be to stay the execution of the
sentences against the condemned men
here in North Carolina, but it does not
affect the merits of their case at all. 1t
simply amounts to granting an appeal
from the decisions of our State courts to
the Supreme Court of the United States.
If it shall be found on trial of the case in
Washington that the North Carolina
courts had Jurisdiction of the offences of
which Cross and White have been con-
victed, the decisions will be according to
this result and the execution Of the SEN
fences will be proceeded with under the
law of this State"

man of it's Executive Committee. A
proposition is pending to form an
organic union between the Alliance

TiSiterS Who Are to Come

INDIANAPOLIS, July 1Z-General Harri-
son passed quiet and ureventful day.
He spent a couple of hours down town at
his law Office and on the streets, reseming
his political labors at the house later in
the day. The result of the past few days
has proven grateful to him, as he was in
ioyial spirits today, and this evening
laughingly protested to his friends when
they referred to the exaggerated report of
his illness which had been given circula-
tion. General Harrison regards himself as
entirely recovered from his illness, bat to
apprise the public in more satisfactory
manner as to his true condition, the rep
resentative Of the Associated Press, called
this evening upon DR.. Jamison, the gen.
erals physician, who said:
There has been at no time any occasion
to regard General Harrison as a sick man.
He had an attack of acute indigestion, but
not of severe character. 1t was suffi-
GENTLY troublesome, however, to give him
some pain and discomfort. There
was at no time any febrile disturb
ances, Or even an intimation of inf1amma-
tory trouble. The pain yielded readily to
light anedync treatment. Regarding him
as well, L saw him for the last time this
morning and advised him to discontinue
treatment.
About forty members of the State Lum-
bermans association now in session here
paid General Harrison visit this evening
Among the callers tonight We're Hon. Geo.
II. Hopkins, chairman of the Michigan
Republican state central com mittee, and
Thomas McCanaugh, member of he ma
tionai committee from Washington Ter
ritory.
A delegation of about 500 is expected to
arrive from Kokomo tomorrow to visit
General Harrison.
A committee arrived from Columbus, O.,
today to arrange date early next week
for the reception of the Republican clubs
of Columbus and intervening points.

Nobody who has known Athens for long,

railroads are being opened drainage and the
planting OF trees have received great atten-

which has lately passed over Greece and pux-

greater unity of purpose Perhaps the real
evil which, more than anything else has
checked the progress of Greece dHriag the last
half century has been its constitutional gov

unfortunately Greece IS not ruled over by a
