LETTER ON IMPROVEMENTS.

Mr. EDITOR I'll hear some talk a.
gainst town Improvement. most es-
peclaIly as to Street opening, but
only from a few would-be rulers and
dictaters, or in other words from men
who would object to every kind Of
improvement except done just around
their way. Most of these men
think are honest in their way, but
they are thinking only of them
selves in the way Of taxes. Why
sir, | am told they pay taxes at the
large and enormous valuation ou
some lots they own at $40 to $50, yet
refuse to sell at $500, for same lots.
Wont our tax assessors look into
this matter for I am sure these gentle,
men do not want to ssrepresenl
matters or do any wrong to the town.
But it is a good way to keep the
town from growing. Bat [ hope
these little idea men will not have
any weight with the CITY Council.
They have been doing some good
work and say, let them GO ahead,
open up streets. offer to men and
family's some inducements to come
and 1--we with US in our beautiful
town. Let improve nient be the word
let outsiders see that you mean 10
improve Spend money, it is the only
way TO get ahead. Improve, improve,
and the people will be with you all.

AN INDIGNANT PROTEST.

The FISHERMAN & FARMER, OF
Edenton, N. c.. Indignantly protests
against the utterances OF the Southern
Progress, of this city, in its reflections
upon the good people of Edenton and
North Carolina. Mr.. Haywood, the
editor of the Southern Progress, over
shot the mark when be brought his
personal grievance and presumed
wrong, so far as the municipal au-
th0rities of Edenton are concerned,
as cause, to reflect on the integrity
and character Of the people of North
Carolina. The Virginian does not
hesitate to pronounce the course Of
Mr.. Haywood in this matter unwise
and uncalled or.-Norfolk Virginian.
There has already enough been
said by the press concerning Frank
Haywood, for US at SO late date, to
even mention his name. We intend
ed not to mention his name in con.
nection with North Carolina, as we
thought then, and think now that he
was toe contem ptible to connect his
name with so fair state as hours.
He, Frank Haywood, should remem-
Der that when he speaks Of our fair
land that he had better hide himself
from view, fer he will always be look
ed upon as an enemy. EdentOn, eur
sister town, did right not to pay out
her money to such viilian.-Caroli
ma Dispatch.
Judging from the agitated tone of
the FISHERMAN & FARMER, of Eden

sent Us, Southern PROCESS must have
wounded some sensitive soul. The
invitation to drive the editor Of the
new industrial paper out Of town
we shall have to consider more fully
in conn ection with the circumstances
of the case. We will await Develop

grievance than the FISHERMAN K

and directed the city engineer to make
surveys and recommend to the city council
an official grade.
City Engineer Thomson asked to what
fund the cost was to be charged. and on
the opinion Of Corporation Counsel Dom
worth that joint resolution making such
an order did not carry with it an appro-
priation, it was ordered to be returned to
the city council with that explanation.
Major Rinehart said if the work was
paid for out of the general fund, the prop
erty-owners could not be charged: he
thought the Aldine street improvement
fund should first be created.
Attention was called also to the fact the
resolution was directed to the city en-

all communications between branches of
the city government must be made from
and to the heads of departments.

DATES DO NOT AGREE.
NewWitness Throws More Light
on Richards Murder.
SAYS HE WAS ALIVE IN MAY.
a Lake Washington Farmer Points Out
Discrepancies In the Suspected
Italians Story.

Joseph Dean, a farmer residing on the
east shore of Lake Washington. arrived in
the city yesterday and related a circum-
stance in connection with the murder of
George Richards on Mercer island by
Mattel Leon, which may be the means of
d'screditing the Italians confession as to
now the murder occurred.
Dean lives on the old Colman home
stead, on the mainland, just opposite the
cabin on Mercer island where Richards
and Leon lived, and on which Richards
was killed. In his confession Leon stated
that he killed Richards in self-defense and
that the fatal fight occurred on Tuesday
morning, April 26. He said he knew it
was on that day, for after the killing he
came to this city and the Odd Fellows
were having a parade. Dean said yester-
day:
The murder could not have been committed
IN April, Tor saw both Richards and Leon in
May. On May day they were rowing about on
the lake. On Monday, May 2, Richards came
over to my place and asked permission to leave
nls boat at our landing and also wanted to
fasten boom of logs at the same place gave
him permission. The same day Richards and
Leon towed a boom OF logs over and tied 1t up.
During the day the men quarreled and Leon
once said to Richards:
You can go to hell and do your own work"
On May the men put more logs in the boom,
ana that evening Richards asked me to let him
grind his ak on my grindstone. When he was
through he wanted drink of milk. He offered
to pay for it and opened his purse, showing
$io gold piece and some silver. When his body
was found he only had quarter and a counter
lett silver dollar on his person don't know
what was done with his money.
On the night Of May 3 saw fire ON the
island, near where the cabin stands. The men
had a fire there every night to cook with. did
not see the men on May 4, nor was there a fire
near the cabin at any time after May 3 I am
positive as to the dates. The murder could not
have been committed in April, for saw the
men in May.
Later I saw the steamers Calkins and Latonia
land at the cabin, but did not know that a
murder had been committed until saw an ac-
count of it in the observation-disclosures.
When seen at the county Jail yesterday
Leon said:
Dean must be mistaken az to dates. Richards
and bad fight the DAY the Odd Fellows had
the parade in Seattle. The fight occurred in the
morning about 10 o'clock and, when saw that
Richards was dead, I came to town imme-
diately and the Odd Fellows were parading the
streets. 1 understand that was on April 26.
That same night Joe Puccio and went back to
the cabin and dumped Icons body in the lake.

New YORK, July 22-The membership
of the national Democratic executive COM
mittee will not be announced before the
latter part of next week. At the confer
ence between Chairman Harrity, Cleye-
land, Stevenson and Whitney it is be-
lieved they have pretty definitely settled
on the members. 1t is understood they
are to be selected as nearly as possible
from the representatives of the doubtful
states. This will not be rigidly applied in
the South, as there is some uneasiness
over the vote of the Peoples party in that
section. It is believed the following in
addition to Chairman Harrity will be
among the members of the committee:
LieutenantGovernor sheehan, New York;
s. T. Sheerin, Indiana: Senator Ransom, North
Carolina; Congressman Cable Illinois; Senator
German. Maryland; D. ]. Campau, Michigan:
Carlos French, Connecticut: Clark Howell,
Georgia: Carlos Thomas, Colorado; J. ]. Rich
ardson, Iowa: Josiah Quincy: Massachusetts,;
Michael Doran, Minnesota; NJ. L. Donaldson,
South Carolina: Z. c. Wall, Wisconsin; John
Sheridan, West Virginia; Miles Ross, New Jer-
sey; Charles w. Blair, Kansas; o. I. Holt,
Texas; Basil B. Jordan, Virginia
1t is believed that ex Secretary Whitney will be
chairman of the campaign committee unless he
prefers the craftsmanship of the advisory board.

Thrilling Experience OF Three Seattle
Men in q Tacoma Building.
Three Seattle men had ride in the ele-
vator of the Pacific National bank build
ing at Tacoma on Thursday evening which
they will not soon forget. Colonel I. b.
Snow, superintendent of agencies Of the
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance
Company. Manager F. A. Wing and F. A.
Johnson went to the building about $3.50
to call at an Office on the third story of
that building, and although the elevator
stops running at o'clock they found the
door ajar and the car on the ground floor.
Seeing nobody around, they started to
run the machine themselves, Mr.. Wing
handling the rope. He had no sooner run
it to the third floor than the car shot up
ward at such a rate that all three turned
pale. Colonel Snow desparingly grasped
the stool, Mr.. Johnson chung to the cage,
and Mr.. Wing pulled the rope, but the car
did not obey him, and rushed to the sixth
story. Then it bolted down again with
great speed, no amount of manipulation
of the lever affecting its movements. 1t
confined to jerk up and down as though it
had ST. Vitus' dance. stopping between
floors but never at them for some time.
After some minutes OF this torture the car
descended to the ground floor with a
bump and its three occupants made a
dash for liberty, trembling in every limb,
and more scared than if they had had a
cougar for travelling companion.
At the same moment that they stepped
an the firm door small boy appeared
from the basement with grin of ghoulish
glee on his face. He no sooner saw them
than his expression changed to one of as
great terror as their faces wore. Then he
explained. After he had stopped running
the elevator in the evening some person
had been in the habit Of opening the door
and riding up and down in the car just
for amusement. The boy, determined to
spoil this fun, had on this particular even
ing lain in wait for the intruder. Leaving
the door, he went down to the
pit at the bottom of the shaft and awaited
the villains coming. He heard three
villains come, but supposed they were
one, and as soon as they were started gave
the rope jerk which sent them heaven
ward. He continued to prosecute them
by jerking them up and down, and when
he finally brought them to rest he hurried
from the basement TO see how they liked
their fun. He was staggered TO lind three
solid men instead of one scrubby boy.
Mr.. Wing says he never, never will try
TO run an elevator again, and the boy will
take care that he really has the guilty
party before he compels any one to fly be-
tween heaven and earth in terror.

BOARD OF WORKS.
The Question of Establishing Grades
Before Grading.

An Old question was raised again in the
board of public works yesterday. For
years there has been a controversy as to
grading streets first, according To the en-
gineer's specifications. and passing an
ordinance establishing the grade after the
work was completed. 1t has never been
denied that the proceeding was Irregular,
but il was done to avoid invalIdating an
assessment by not conforming strictly TO
the grade or passing more than one ordi-
nance during grading 10 please individual
property owners. The present council has
been more strict, and ordered the grade
established first. They have granted a
petition for the grading of Aldine street,
from California street TO Johnson avenue,
