Tuesday III BIT about o'olock man
went to the house Of Mr.. Sim Conoly.

in sight, across "a held. They had not
gone far befor. man who was evil
IDENTITY white In in disguise, drew
his pistol and 90 t Mr.. Oonoly twice in
the head.
Mr.. Conoly as bachelor. about As,
who had his bother and sister living
with him. aud they heard the pistol
shots, out never felt any alarm until a
late hour Mr. Conoly failed to return.
and, being all alone, they were unable
to make search before morning, when
the murdered man was found not far
from his house with two balls in his
head. 1he deed was not committed ( r
the purpose of robbery, as Mr. Conoly
was man OF ordinary means, quiet and
inctf ens}ve, and the greatest mystery
clusters around the crime.
The Only circumstantial evidence that
has developed is that on the N orning of
the mnrder suspicious looking white
mar boarded the North bound freight
train on the @. F. Il Y " railroad at
the water tank near Maxtop, without a
ticket, and paid his fare to Shannot, q
few miles from the scene Of the murder.
he declined to go on the passenger train
when it passed the freight at Wakula,
stating that he was in no special hurry.
He had with him linen duster and q
small hand bag
Tuesday afternoon black man with
! duster closely buttoned around him
was seen near Mr. Conoly. On We'd
nesday morning man was seen washing
himself at Campbell Bridge on Lumber
River, and when be saw he
was discovered he fed, leaving
| behind shirt with marks
of lampblack upon it, and q pair OF
pants. A package of lampblack was
also found floating in the water. He
was undoubtedly the murderer, and the
same man that travelled on the freight
train the day before. And the impres
! sion is that the crime was committed by
AN assassin from across the South Caro-
lima line, who was in all probability paid
| small pttance by some one who held
a grudge against Mr.. Oonoly.
It is crime equaled only by those ol

indignant at the preparation Of such q
deed upon a harmless, law abiding citi

GAsToNlA. N. O., April % Distress
ing news comes to relatives in Gastonia
of the suicide at Fort Riley, Kansas, of
Mr.. W. B. Moore, of Globe, N. c., q
young man of just twenty three years of
age.
The suicide occurred Saturday after
noon, April 18th. Young Moore had
called on the cJnmandant of the post
an hour or so before, and revealed moth
ing IN word or manner to lead one to
suspect any such terrible Intentions.
When he left bis commandant he was
in good spirits, and went to his room.
Later in the afternoon be was found in
stable with the top of his head blown
open by large carbine. He was array
ed in the best uniform, having changed
his dress right after his visit to the COM
mandant. He had left his room in per-
feet neatness aud order, washed the win
dows even, and evidently intended when
be left it never to return. No word er
line from him remains to explain the
mystery. He was universally esteemed :,
even much loved, by his comrades. He
was for two years student OF the
writer and his melancholy end is like a
personal bereavement. He will be re-
membered by many students of Wake
Forest, where he was at school in $3.50,
for his many excellent social qualities,
and especially for his natural ability and
brilliant oratory-for an orator he was,
| and of the first order.
| He left Wake Forest in '69 and joined
the U. 8. Army at Fort Riley in the
early spring of that year. There be
remained and was steadily promoted un.
til his untimely end. He was faithful
member Ct the church, and of faultless
department. His aged father in Globe
is overwhelmed by the tide of grief this
news sweeps upon him, and has the
Christian sympathy Of every ono who
knows him. ". 2. MARSHALL.

MISS DICKINsON's CHARGES.

MISS ANNA DICKINSON has been lectur-

much of what reads like unpleasant truth
that the papers say she ls demented.

she gives of the treatment she received
indicates that it was enough to enrage
if not to make her mad. We quote the
following:
She had not used the word conspira-

but she argued that the politicians of
the national republican committee were
interested in having her locked up where
her voice would be muzzled and the in
formation in her possession should come
out Clarkson was particularly anxious
in this respect. HE wrote me letters
which Mrs Clarkson would not like to
read, and when there was danger OF an
explosion he ran away to Europe"
Miss Dickinson told again the story OF
her alleged arrangements with the Com.

she said, ''if you will put aside the ne

having great difficulty in nominating
United States Senator. The present
Senator, Mr.. GALL, is q candidate for
Ire-election aud in the caucus has 56
aotes, and his leading opponent, Mr.
spEER, has 80 votes. There are few
other scattering votes. CALL has many
warm friends. He has some conspicu-
ous~enemies in the party who have long
wanted his scalp. His other weakness
id that quite a number of members of
the Alliance oppose him because he op-
poses the Sub-Treasury plan. Quite q
nulnbez of Alliance members are also for
him.
Whatever may be the result, Demo.
crat will 60 to the Senate. We have no
concern as to the man so he is the choice
of the party in Florida. But the caucus
adopted the two thirds rule which
b long ago gone into ''innocuous
desuetude," and have resolved to elect
no Senator until someone gets two
thirds of all the Democratic votes. The
situation in Florida is this: The Legis-
lature contains 80 Democrats and one
solitary Republican. And yet an alb
surd effete and unfair rule is established
which will prob .bly result in the cleo
ton of that candidate who has the least
force of character, therefore the fewest
enemies. We have observed that
