MURDER AT PARAMOUNT.
Dick Hall Cuts Frank Cross All to Pieces
Friday Evening.

Dick Hall Cuts Frank Cross All to Pieces
Friday Evening.
The Salisbury Herald says: A big cut
ting affray occurred late Friday evening
at FairmOunt, Davidson county, which
resulted in the death of Frank Cross,
Saturday morning. The news as given
to US is as follows: There was railroad
speaking at Fairmount, Friday, and after
the speakers had finished and the crowd
was dispensing, Dick Hall, who had been
drinking freely during the day, got on a
horse belonging to Frank Cross, with
the apparent intention of riding it away,
when he was accOsted by Cross and asked
to get off. He did so at once, and Jump
in5 on Mr.. Cross with a knife, cut him all
to pieces. He then fled, leaving Cross so
badly lacerated that he died during the
night. A warrant for murder was issued
against Hall, Saturday, and he was ar
rested and lodged in the Lexington Jail
Saturday night. The trouble seems to
have eliminated through drink. Hall is
the same fellow who killed a man near
the Gadkin river about two years ago.

COZ. BILL FIFE.

Col. BILL FIFE who claims more or
less intimacy with religion-who claims
that GOD came one night and jerked him
out of bed of sin-that is what they
call it, is knocking Oxford silly.
He tells of his wonderful adventures
of how he fell head long down the preci-
pice-how he tumbled over ragged rocks,
and how the briers pierced his body
when he fell.
He tells of how in dens of iniquity-
witt the sirens who sang their songs,
he passed night after night in intoxica-
tion and festive pleasures; Of how-in
the vicious nature of bis intense deprav-
ity he neglected wife and child, and Of
how the child died and how the mothers
tears streamed as a river of grief.
Day after day and year after year FIFE
staggered down the Broad Road-down
the road with companions who sang
gaily and who with blearded eyes and
trembling hands looked out and saw no
hope and who cared to see no hope.
~
that interests; in way that gains him
silence and in way rhlt may bring
tears.
And let US thank GoD then FIFE has
reformed. Let US hope that he may do
much good-but let US also look beyond.
Where are the women with whom
FIFE sinned?
Where are they with their sorrow and
their misery and their darkness. Where
are those painted creatures who sold the
new evangelist the satisfaction for his
lust?
Were they alone to blame?
BE honest now and think a minute
They had fallen-yes, they were bad,
bad wicked women
Certainly.
FIFE had not fallen-oh, no, he,
strong, bright, vigorous and ambitious
man-no he did not fall-the weak, the
disreputable and abandoned woman-the
poor girl whom some one had deceived
and whose heart had thousand times
bled for her shame and her misery and
her abandOnment-she was the follower
on.
Yes.
She pulled BILL FIFE down.
Oh, rats
He was willing-but then he arose
again.
He came back from the shUck and the
wallow, and he took the bible and the
word of GOD and he started out to save
respectable people.
And the question comes and comes
back hard. Why does he not try to save
the women and the fallen ones-those
who in the squalid poverty of misery
and shame have asked COP a thousand
times to give them strength
Why should the man be the hero when
the woman is always the weak, the er-

On his arrival ho was received by COM

In his speech Parncll said that

him in the recent election, and that it
depended upon Irishmen themselves rs
to what kind of home rule they would
obtain.
lie admitted that he was at fault in
being too amiable with Gladstone at
Hawarden, but he promised that -he
WOULD not repeat that mistake. lilo had
never known anything to be got out of
negotiations with Gladstone, and he
was glad they had been broken off.
After the meeting Parnell was pro-

Carthyites held county demonstration

that If Stanford agrees to support the

Lyons Knocks Out DorIghty In n Brief
But Spirited Mill.
Tho Louisville Courier Journal of
Saturday printed tho following account
of Catrer Lyons fight with Dorighty :
The sharpest, fairest prize fight that has
taken place near the city for long time
occurred last night in barn back Of
Jacksonville. Carter Lyons, the clever
boxer, who has been besting all Corners
Theatcr, and Jack Dorighty, Phiadcl-
phian, were tho principls. Lyons
Knocked Dorighty out N four rounds.
Two-ounce gloves were used. The
fight was for a purse of 500.
Lyons did the leading. lie hammered
Dorighty right and left. He followed
up the blows and knocked his opponent
down.
In the third round, Lyons was fresh
rs n daisy. Dorighty breathed heavily.
lie hit away indiscriminatcly, and his
blows had little effect. Every stroke of
Lyons counted. lie got in ono on Do
righty's neck, and hammered him to the
ground. Dorighty feobiy straigh tened
up. Down he went again from Il hot
one on his car. lie gamely raised up
again, however.
in the fourth round Lyons hit his
opponent as he pleased. lie knocked
him down before the round was a second
old. Dorighty barely got up but to fall
again. Another time he went to the
ground and lay there.
That ended the fight and the money
was Lyons.
Lyons Is tho best fighter seen here for
a long time. He will fight Shushcr in
Il few days.

Small Boys Lighting Many Fires In Esst
Roanoke.

Roanoke.
A gang Of Juveniles in East Roanoke
are INDUCING quite extensively in o
practice that should Immediately be
stopped by tho authorities, and that is
the kindling of fires in yards and out
houses. Whether this is done simply
for fun or for different purpose Is not
known, but in the last two weeks thero
have been q number of small fires
started in this manner which have for
tunatcly been discovered and extin-
guished without the aid OF tho fro de-
Partment and before any damage was
done. On one or two occasions the fire
was not discovered until the fence or
outbuilding was wrapped in flames, and
In these cases the property-owner has
been. OF course, put to some expense.
Tho citizens in that part of the city
are becoming very indignant over this
matter and several of them assured
TIMES reporter that if this vandalism
were continued they would report the
matter to the mayor. A serious con-
fagration is liable to result at any
timo from these small fires, and the
practice should by all means be stopped
at once.
Last Friday evening small shed in
the roar OF house on Seventh avenue
n. e. was discovered to be OH fire, and
an investigation showed that some
kindling wood had been piled up on o
bench and lighted. The shed was con-
siderably damaged and will have to be
rebuilt. If this business is meant for a
joke it has gone entirely too far, and If
intended for any deadlier purpose,
should be investigated at once.
