RALEIGH, N. c.. Dec. Especial
News Is received here to-day OF horrf-
bic affair in Moore county. ten miles west
of Sanford. in which two maiden ladies',
sisters OF Or. Mcdonald, were shot by a

instantly. The other was mortally
wounded. They lived with their brother,
DIR. Mcdonald, and were sitting around
the fire in their sitting room when n

The State Canvassng Board to-day
began the hearing OF the fifth district
congressional contest case. The whole
contest hinged upon Stokes county, In
which the Democrats alleged that there
were frauds In Settles favor in nine out
of eleven voting precincts, anu eh@t thS
county returning board was intlmcateu
and prevented from throwing out the
fraudulent votes by the presence OF Set
tie himself, who is solicitor Of that dis
trict, with a mob Of armed men at his
back. With Stokes county Settle has
majority, but without It he has not. The
vital question, therefore, was upon the
throwing out Of the vote Of Stokes. Many
afidaWts were read this evening on each
side: one from Settle. in which he de-
MED that there was any disorder, IN
tirnidaton or armed men when the vote
of Stokes was canvassed. a counter ar
fidavit was filed by \. NJ. Stack. attorney
for Williams in Stokes, who declares that
Settle threatened the board with indict-
ment. and that he was cheered and urged
on by an angry mob Of armed men.
Argument in the case was begun by
counsel at o'clock this evening, by
Judge J. b. Womack. Of Chatham Some
distinguished lawyers are engaged upon
the case.
