A sreat Eurniture House.

A happy business combination has just
been perfected by which the firm of Mann,
Johnson & Co., succeeds the old firm OF
Shepard, Mann 4 Johnson, and the Blair
Furniture Company, consolidating the
stocks of all these firms, and combining
in it's operations one of the largest and
best appointed furniture houses in the
South. 1t cannot he otherwise with the
experience acquired, with the skill OF
workmen, the perfection of machinery,
and facilities for obtaining material in
the United States--a fact now fully rec
orgnzed by the great furniture manufac-
turcrs of the North and Northwest.
The beauty of the North Carolina woods
is unequalcd, and it is at once a pride
and luxury to come into possession OF
a set or even OF single article, of furni-
ture made out Of our North Carolina
mountain wood, put up by the skillful
and tasteful hands of the firm we refer
to. And we speak not from conjecture
OF what they can do, but with the knowl-
edge of what they have done, all of which
is widely known and approved.

of Williamson & Hart, so largely sufferers
by the recent fire, so far from being aban-
doned, is actively prosecuted, and that
contributions are nade to the fund for
their relief as well as the Demens fund, in
about equal proportions. There is no
design to discriminate against the two
former gentlemen, if the aid proposed be
acceptable to them.

SiclLenlnR Sight at the Execution
of DilGer, the Police Assassin
The Rope slips Over His Chin
and He Is Only Half EHahRed.
LOUISVILLE, KY, July 31.-Chas Dill
ger, the murderer of two policemen last
August, and Harry Smart murderer of
Meiseur Green and wife, were hanged at
Cos this morning.
At $50 o'clock, deputy sheriff Henry
Bell read the death warrant to each of
the men, they standing handcuffed at
their cell doors. The line of march to
the scaffold was formed at SAT O'Clock.
Both of'the condemned men walked firm
ly up the steps of the scaffold, digger
leading the way unassisted. Father
Nicholas read the service of the Catholic
church, the crowd maintaining a breath
less silence. Deputy sheriff Ragland
meanwhile took his place near the trap
rope. Both men were very pale during
the reading of the service. At the con-
clusion of the service Smart and Dilger
bade good bye to all the turnkeys.
They then took positions on the traps.
Smart laughed as he stepped upon the
fatal door. Deputy sheriff Hikes pin
ioned them with leather bands. The
rope was cut, at GOA o'clock exactly, and
both men shot down through the traps.
Smart turned around, and probably died
instantly, but Dilgcr slipped through the
moose, the rope catching him over the
chin ut the lower teeth. He was SEEM
ingly unhurt, and was drawn up by the
rope until his shoulders came through
t he trap, when the deputies took him by
he arms and pulled him upon the scaf-
fold. Another rope was brought in;o
service; and when the moose was ad-
iusted, digger asked what S the matter?'
On being told the rope had slipped its
knot, he said, this Shows should not
die" He placetr,himself upon the trap
second time by making ,tgS hops. The
trap was again sprung at COG O'Clock
and he was strangled to death.
When Dilger's body dropped, the end of
he rope which formed the knot was seen
to unravel and the moose refused to
tighten. The knot was so far united as
to be only held in place by one coil,
and the rope was caught directly under
the point of his chin. The scene was sick
cning. 1t could he seen at glance that
death would not result within two or
three hours, unless something was done;
and the strained breathing of the unfor-
tunatc man could be heard over the en-
tire yard. The noise was sharprasping
one, SO peculiar as to render it hard to
describe Two of the officers leaned down
through the trap, and, catching hold of
the moose near the neck, drew digger back
through the opening on to the platform.
Another rope was quickly made fast to
the crossbeam overhead, the drop being
the same as before. This required in all
five minutes, and the new new moose
was then placed around Dilger neck, the
drop falling the second lime at Cos. The
new rope also seemed reluctant to do it's
duty, and the knot slipped clear around
to the back of his neck. 1t frightened,
however, and the work was done. At
6.32 he was pronounced dead.

The Erie Company Comedies all Points to
the Men


the Men
The trouble between the Erie Railroad
Company and its employees has been sat
isfactorily settled. At eleven O'Clock yes
terday morning the Grievance Committee
with Chairman Youngson as spokesman,
called on General Manager Thomas at his
ONCE, and long conference was the re-
suit. The Erie system was represented
by Mr.. Thonas, General Superintendent
Tucker, of the New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio Railroad, General Superinten-
dent Murphy, of the New York, Lake Erie
81 Western, Ross Kells, superintendent
OF the Motive Power, and j. II. Barrett,
superintendent of transportation.
The best of feeling seemed to prevail
on both sides and at the conclusion of the
conference it was announced that every
thing had been satisfactorily settled. The
terms Of the settlement were reduced to
writing and were signed by Mr.. Thomas
for the company and Mr. Youngson for
the employees 1t is generally understood
that the book" which has been the
source of so much disquietude to the
engineers has been abolished. The four
engineers whose discharge created a good
deal of feeling will be reinstated.
Well, said Engineer Thompson early
last evening, you see ] was right in my
conclusions as to the result of the Grand
UFleVance committees interview with
the Erie Railway management, / knew
what WAS talking about when told you
the managers would not permit strike
bytheir men. The interests of both are
too closely identified and those of the
public too great to be injured in that
way. Yes, the differences have been
amicably and satisfactorily adjusted and
you will hear no more of the great
strike"
The sub committee waited on Superin-
tendent Murphy of the Erie Railroad this
morning with reference to local griev-
a aes of trainmen presented to the main
committee yesterday. These difficulties
were speedily adjusted, satisfactorily to
all parties The suspended engineers
in charge of their engines. They were
also paid their salaries in full, aud now
everybody around the Erie yard is smiling
and ready for Happy New Year.
