sEAECuING FOR FACTS.

The inquest into tho Massic murder
made material progress yesterday. Tho
Williamson alibi was seemingly broken
into by the testimony of Officer Wadcs
Sons who identified Williamson as the
man who asked for food at their house
on the night OF the assault. II they are
correct there will DO no difficulty in sus-
tanning the evidence, for tho same man
seems to have gono to several houses
in that neighborhood about tho timo of
the assault.
But it is difficult to imagine that any
sane man with a criminal purpose in his
mind would so foolishly betray himself
as to conspicuously FIX his location and
identity in the ncighborhood of the con-
tenplated crime. Nothing is palmer.
however, than that as tho evidence
seems to point strongly toward certain
parties. every strand in the ropo of
evidence should receive tho most
thorough testing; thcro must DO no mis-
take.
The evidence that Rcdd was noar tho
scene of the crime at u timo when his
abb witnesses swore him to DO else
where, is point blank. though at pro-
sent supported by tho direct evidence
and identification of but ono witness.
Albert Smith. Tho description OF
Redds clothing ITALICS with what no
had on whom arrested. Other cvidcnco
Is available in support of Smiths.
The TINES correspondent at Danville
reports thaLthe reputation of the sus-
pected mon there was good, but Will
Hanson seems to have had financial
difficulty with ono Lindsey horo III Roa-
noko, as reported elsewhere.
The material facts from which case
may be made out are fast acoumulating
the present call is for better identitl-
cation OF tho man who asked for food on
Rorer avenue on tho night OF Monday,
December %.
Was he Williamson or another man :?
Every one in that ncighborhood at whose
house man called, asking for food,
should furnish the information at once.
IL Rodd was on Salem avenue about
o'clock that night, near Mr.. Body's
house, dozen people should have seen
bin and be able to identify him. II tho
man who opened the gate for Albert
smith was some other than Redd let
that man come forward and say so. 1t
will do him no harm.

DO with keeping the Southern Alliance
wing out Of tho third party movement
1t is plain, however, that third party
movements arc like lottery tickets,
only ono in twenty draws prize. In
tho North high license, local option and
prohibition have boon tho issues which
have variously been fought inside and

instance in which u third party move

has scored It's successes when but
trqsscd by the party whose machinery

in free silver, and Tho Alliance in Min
ncsota is Of tho same opinion, and in
ono State tho Alliance captures The
Democratic party, and in tho other tho
Republican, it is safe TO say that their
representatives in Congress will act to-
gcther in time. regardless of tho party

Epworth League Reception.

The Francis s. Hoyt Chapter of the Ep-
worth League had pleasant social gath
ering last Friday evening at the residence
of Rev. W. G. Dawson, who provided a
generous supply of refreshments in the
shape of ice cream and cake for the occa-
sion.
Good music also came in as part Of the
entertainment Violin solos were rem
dered by Frank Bowlby and Glare Harvey;
a guitar solo by Miss Anna Tissot; a
vocal duet by the Misses Townsend, and a
song entitled "The Better Land" by Mrs.
Kinnisou. "The Cookies on the Lower
Shelf" was also sang by an informal
"quart" or quintette, we do not now re-
member which.
But the most interesting part of the
programme for the evening was the pre-
sentation of beautiful silk banner to DIR.
F. s. Hoyt, who by special invitation was
present, aud in whose honor the reception
was held.
The inscription on the banner, "Greet-
ings from the Francis S. Hoyt Epworth

was artistically arranged with dainty vio-
lets interviewer, all designed and painted
by Miss Florence Starr, president Of the

not soon pass from the memory of those
