A STARTLING CONFESSION

A rumor has reached here from Hillsboro,
n. c.. which, If true, solves one of the great
est mysteries ever known in the history OF
this State. Nav q, 1870. was a notable day
in the exciting history of the most exciting
times in North Carolina On that day State
Senator Stephens. whom Josiah Turner called
Chicken Stephens. was murdered and his
lifeless BODY found Sunday morning in the
Office Of the clerk and master at Nanceyyilie,
Caswell county.
When the news spread abroad it created n
great sensation. For more than twenty
years the perpetrators of the deed have
been unknown and much speculation has
been INDUCED in as TO whom they were. Gov
ernor Holden and other Republicans charged
that the crime had been perpetuated by the
Democrats for political reasons Senator
Stephens being leader Of the negroes in
that section and very bitter Republican.
The Democrats expressed the belief that
the family OF the Senator had procured his
murder IN order to ATTAIN the insurance from
the large policy which he held. But until
day or two ago all conjecture was in vain.
The murder seemed 10 be shrOuded in i'm
pentrable mystey. Now the intelligence comes
that DR.. Felix koan. long n prominent and
influential citizen OfCasweil county, who died
few days ago. had made confession on his
death bed. in which he impaired the startling
Information that Stephens was murdered by
himself and two other widely known and
prominent citizens. According 10 his con-
fesslon the men who killed Stephens were DR..
Felix Roam, DR.. Steve Richmond and Sheriff
Wiley. All three of the men are now dead.

MANY RUMORs.

There were many rumors ahoat as TO the
fire, but 20 those who investigated the affair
thoroughly say these reports were given but
little credence Several of the salesladies EN-
ployed at Messrs Ganss x Co. were seen by "A
TINES representative last evening. They
unanimously stated that they left the
store at o'clock, as is their
usual custom; that at that time
could not understand how the fire began. Mr..
Ganss was asked in reference 20 it, and
stated that no left the store about fifteen
minutes before the fire commenced. and
could not attribute any cause whatever for
the contagration save tie destructive work of
electric light wires.

There were two or three men at the fire last
evening who sand they saw the flames quite
long time before the first alarm was runc
One of them was Mr.. Dunn. of the firm of
Stokes N Dnnn. He Stated last evening that
he was at Fifth and Main streets when he saw
the flames and that it was several moments
before the alarm was turned in.
The contagratlon began in the rear of Ganss
Co. S store. The most diligent inquiry last
evening among those interested failed to re-
veal the fact rs 10 how the flames begau.
Some stated that electric light wires were the
cause. while others were equally vehement in
declaring that the stove on the first floor was
the reason for the conhagration.
