DURHAM, N. G., June 9.
In the Superior court William Chand-
Ter was tried last week for murder. This
crime, it will be remembered, took place
in Smoky Hollow on Sunday night be-
fore Easter. The jury brought in ver-
dict of manslaughter, and the prisoner
was sentenced to the peuitentiary for
term of twelve years.
The case of State vs.: J. W. Evans was
finally decided to-day. e.,s1

of A & B. on an unrnly prisoner. He
was fined $40. The county will be the
sufferer to the amount of a big bill of
costs.
Evans, as will be remembered,
is the keeper of the poor and work
house for Durham. As soon as the bills
are all in the people of Durham will be
apprised of the enormity of the costs of
this prosecution through the columns.
The Democratic Executive committee
for this Judicial district met here yester-
day. All the members were present.
Mr.. J. S. MANNING, the chair
man, presided. A motion was
made that the convention meet at Ok
ford on the I'd of July. This was some
what out of the usual order of things,
as Durham is more centrally situated
and has been for time immemorial the
place for holding the convention, and
the time was rather early. A ballot was
taken, which resulted in q tie vote OF
4 to 4, the chairman courteously declin-
ing to use his established privilege OF
casting the deciding vote. Several bal
lots were taken with the same result
and it was decided to adjourn to meet
again next Tuesday.
Judge Womack has created a fine i'm
preston here.

Eleven fraternities, at present, have
chapters at the University. They have
recently published an annual, "The
Helleman," the first to come from any

creditable publication, of great interest
to every fraternity man in the State,
and may be had by sending $1.0O to
Mr.. r. s. McRae, Chapel Hill.
There has been growing desire among
10y yal Greeks here to cultivate spirit of
broadness and iberality, to recognize
merit, and to represent our Alma Ma
ter in manner becoming to her repu-
tation and history. These sentiments
led to the founding of the local order
of Grim Ghouls. Representative men
from the several fraternities, prominent
in college work, congenial and of social
tastes are selected and invited to become
members. To join the Grim Ghouls is
thus esteemed high distinction and a
becoming honor. Thursday night, June
4th, was the time chosen for establish

A number of petitions were presented to
the Senate to dav, among them one from
Nelson, Nebraska, praying (sarcastical-
ly) that all ex soldiers over one hundred
years old shall have pension of So a
month.
Further routine business having been
II transacted, the silver bill was taken up,
ard Mr.. Cockrell addressed the Senate.
He said that If enacted into law,
the further collage Of silver bullion into
standard dollars would rest wholly in
tho mere discretion of the secretary of
tho treasury. Silver bullion was to be
treated as a mere commodity, and was
to be ,iven none of the equivalents of
m m0ney or currency.
In season and out of season those wto
favored the unlimited coinage of silver
were tauntsd with trying to flood
the country with seventy-two cent
dollars, and the noble, grand, nat
ural sentiment inscribed on the silver
dollar, "In God We Truss," was sneer-
cd at aud derided as meaning ''in God
we trust for the other twenty-eight
cents to make it one dollar.
AS the close of Mr.. Cockrell's speech
the House silver bill was laid before the
Senate.
Mr.. Vest asked the Senate to take up
for consideration the bill reported from
the select committee on the sale aud
transportation of meat products ito
prohibit monopoly in the transportation
OF cattle to foreign countries"
After a discussion concerning the
length of time consumed in debate over
the silver bill, Mr.. Vests bill was called
up and discussion of its provisions was
carried on between Mr.. Vest in defence

The Union Square company, with A
Possible Case, is still the only attraction
in the city. It is filling the Los Angeles
nightly. Tomorrow there will be q
grand matinee.
The Spider and Fly, which will be
given at the Grand opera house next
week, does not lay much pretense to
literary merit. It is, as its name indi.
Gates, pentomime burlesque, and was
written solely for the purpose Of enabling
the capable people employed in it's pro.
duction to afford mirth and merriment
to the audiences assembled to witness
it. Among others of the capable cast
may be mentioned Bessie Cleveland,
Hilda Thomas, Ada Dare, the Allen
sisters, Louise and Ray, Jas, R. Adams
and Thomas Dare. The scenery for the
production is carried with the company.
There is still an excellent ground for
the hope that the Juch opera company
will delight the people of this city. Ar
rangements have been perfected by the
management of the Grand by which the
attraction booked for the week begin
ming January 9th is to be shifted to a
later date, and thus give the Juch COM
pany that week. This proposition ema-
mated from the Juch's manager himself,
and therefore the ground for hope that
the plan will succeed. It only remains
for the opera company formally to ratify
the proposition made by themselves. 1t
will be known in day or two whether or
not it is to be 30.

had commissions and high fever. He
is extremely weak. The royal physicians
have little, if any, hope of his recovery.
At2 O'Clock this morning it seemed as
though he were dead, but he subse-
quently rallied. Ssfior sagasta, Prime
Minister, has been summoned to the
palace, where he is awaiting the end.
The latest bulletin records slight in
crease of fever in the Kings case. Many
statesmen and diplomats are constantly
calling at the palace. Queen Christina
has telegraphed to the Emperor of Aus
tria that Alonzo is much worse. At @
p. m. the gravest fears were felt for the
life of Alonzo. The threatening feature
is much increased prostration.
At midnight the condition of Alfonso
is regarded as hopeless. The bishops
throughout the country are ordered to
offer prayers for his recovery.
Alfonso XIII, King of Spain, is q
posthumous son of Alfonso XII. he
was born May II, 1886, and is therefore

that she is in the accessible center of q
larger population than any of her rivals.

fact thatshs can be more readily reached
