Tin-Plate HunbUr.

Appeal Avalanche.
In spite Of the fact that the McKin-
ley bill has started this wonderful in
dustry, the importation of tin and
terne plate into the United States du-
ring the first year of the operation of
the bill was greater than for any pre-
ceding year except 1890 and 1889.
The highest importation was 662, 2,621,-
100 pounds in 1889, while for 1891 it
was 655, 5,736,80O pounds, showing that
the Mckinley bill has had hardly any
effect whatever in keeping the foreign
tin-plate out of the country. Of course
everybody in the United States would
like to see the tin-plate industry
thrive in this country, but not at the
expense of the people. The price Of
tin-plate has gone up everywhere in
this country. In New York the in
crease of price per box has been GO
cents, and it has been calculated that
this amounts to a total in the country
of very nearly $4,OO0,OOO. This $4,.
100000 represents the sum which the
American people are required to pay
annually in order that 20 or 80 firms
may dip plates. made in Wales. Thi'
is another one of the robberies perpe
trated by the Republican party in th'
guise of fostering home industries.

4 HORRIBLE CRIME.
4 Greensboro Negro Murders Hi,
Wife.

Sunday night at Greensboro Charles
Blackman, brutal negro, shot and in
stantly killed his wife, whom he bad
not long before beaten and who WAS
living in her mothers house. Before
the murder Blackman shot at Molly
Dalton, colored, who was standing in
the door of her home The ball missed
her only few inches. For this a war.
rant was issued and the police were
searching for him. He went TO the
home of his wife and found her sitting
near the door with their two-year old
child in her lap. He told his wife he
wanted TO talk with her. She told him
he could talk there in the presence OF
her mother and sister. Then Black
man drew 44-calibre revolver and
fired. The bullet went through her
body and the ceiling and weatherboard-
ing behind her. She fell out of the
chair and died instantly. She would
have borne him another child in a few
months. She was good, industrious
woman. In twenty minutes a police
man was at the house, learned the par
ticulars and continued his search for
! Blackman. Soon afterwards. he came
suddenly upon Blackman and seized
him by an arm as h was in the act
OF pulling a pistol from his pocket.
He disarmed him and threw the pistol
away. Then began a struggle but the
policeman conquered; the officer was
took quick for him, and had he seen
him before he grasped hlm, he would
have killed him also as he could only be
hung once. His reason for shooting
at the first woman was that he loved
her, and being a married man could
not marry her, and did not want TO
see her the wife of some one else. H
says he killed his wife because she re-
fused TO live with him. The Record
says Blackman was once arraigned
upon charge of attempt at rape.
He was born in Greensboro. He ha /
stolen the revolver.

A LONDON SENSATION.
THE SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST
HON. PATRICK NUGENT.
How He Indecently Assaulted Miss
Marion Pr1ce.-The Young
Lady's Story.

LaOy's story.
By Cable to the State Chronicle.
LONDON, April ia tremendous
sensation has been caused by the accu-
sation against the Hon. Patrick Emil
Illus John Greville Nugent, brother of
Baron Greville and Deputy Lieuten-
ant and high sheriff of the county of
Westmeath, Ireland, of having inde-
Gently assaulted lady in a frst-class
carriage on the Brighton railway. The
lady in the case is Miss Marion Price.
The evidence in the Westminster DO.
lice court to-day was of a very strong
character against the defendant, who, if
the story told not only by Miss
Price herself, but by the guard, is
true, deliberately pursued the woman
and changed carriages for the purpose
of gratifying his villianous passion. The
guard declared that Nugent changed
carriages at Hapwards, Heath, and
entered the compartment in which
Miss Price was sitting alone. The
guard knew ofno cause why the accused
should have changed his compartment
unless it was on account of Miss Price.
The story told by Miss Price of what
had occurred after the Hon. Patrick
entered her compartment is cor
roborated. She says: He attempted
to put his arms around me and kissed
me. l told him to let me
alone. He tried again to embrace
me, and l screamed as loud as
| could for help, at the same time try
ing to get away from him. He held
on to me and took hold of the lower
part of my dress. struggled as hard
as l could, while he tried by brutal
force to keep me down. l succeeded
in reaching the communication cord

ment. 1he story OF Miss Prce was
corroborated by the condition of her
dress, worn on the occasion,
which showed rents both in the
front and back. Nugent was put under
arrest upon the arrival of the train
When charged at the police station and
confronted by the girl, the prisoner re.
fused to give hi name and the police
had some trouble in ascertaining who
he was. The hearing of the case oc.
cupied about two hours. The counsel
for Nugent suggested that it was a
case of blackmail. The magistrate
"There is no evidence, whatever tc
show that it is.'' Bail was required
from the defendant in the sum of foul
hundred pounds for further appearance
and was promptly furnished.
