CHAS. PECK ARR ESTED.
Furnishes IA $1,000 Bail and Talk
but Little.

By Telegraph to the State Chronicle.
ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 17.-Chas. NJ.
Peck, commissioner of labor statistics,
was in court this morning at 10 o'clock
accompanied by his stenographer, Elbert
Rodgers, both of whom are under arrest
charged with destroying the public doc
ments from which was compiled the sum-
mary of Mr.. Peck's report which has
caused SO much comment throughout the
country. The complainant is Henry
Dennison, the owner of the building III
which Peck and his stenographer have
rooms and the prosecution alleges that
the documents were carried from the
capitol to the room on Sunday evening
last and destroyed by burning in the
furnace. Mr. NJ E. Meegan, the world
known criminal lawyer, appeared for
the defendants and Hon. Norton Chase,
who represents Mr.. E Ellery Anderson,
in the civil case now before the supreme
court in reference to the privacy of the
documents appeared for the prosecution.
When the defendant was arralgned M,
Meegan asked for an ad journment on ts, Z
grounds: First, because he had not
the time to prepare case for
his client; and, second, from the
fact that the civil case now before judge
Furman would practically decide wheth
er or not the restriction of such papers
| would be felony. Mr.. Chase opposed
the adjournment, but Judge Gutman de
| cided that it was in order on the latter
grounds for if that case was decided IL
favor of Mr.. Peck there would be no ne
cessity of continuing further with th'
proceedings. The case was, therefore
adjourned until Thursday, Sept. 20
The supreme court case comes upon tn
9th. Mr. Peck and Mr.. Rodgers eacl
furnished $1,000 bail. Mr.. Peck is re
ticent on the subject, but says he vii
fight to the bitter end.

horrible facts regarding the outrages by
brlgands in Sicily. He states that the
whole island of Sicily is infected with
bands Of robbers who capture large land
ed proprietors and rich merchants and
hide them in caves in the mountains
until they are ransomed. Farmers
are pluudered of horses and
cattle, while peasants who are
suspected of being informers are perse-
cuted, tortured or murdered outright
Great land owners, living within four
hours Of Palermo are afraid to remain on
their estates unless they are surrounded
by private mounted guards. One of
these bands is noted among all of them
for its terrible cruelties. They have be
headed little boys and girls, cut their
bodies in half and then throw the mutt
lated remains in the country for dogs
and hogs to eat

Spread of Cholera in lam burg.


HAMBURG, Sept. 17.-The cholera is
spreading in the suburbs of Eimsbuttel
and Sanot PAUL. and is stationary in
Horn, Barnbeck, Hamm and Hammer
brook. The city proper is practically
free. The returns show another increase,
despite falling thermometer and con
tinous rain. There are 7O3 fresh cases
to day, or 16 more than yesterday; 224
deaths, or II more than yesterday. In
the hospitals and cholera barracks there
are 3, 1919 patients or 81 more than yes
terday. The increase is believed to be
due to the closeness of the atmosphere.
AS it is confined to the worst districts it
has little appreciable effect upon the
rest of the city. although there has been
to day no progress in the revival OF
trade and business men seem to be
waiting for a decisive turn in the epi
demic before making contracts. Men
are busy boring artesian wells about the
city.

WINSTON. n. c., Sept 1.-THE re
publican county convention held here

exhibited. 1t was the noisiest and most
disgraceful occurrence Imaginable. Sew
erg3 white representatives went away
d1ssasted and say they cannot vote the
republican ticket any more, as matters
now stand Negroes were on hand and
demanded recognition on the ticket to
be put ont. This was refused. Charley
Reynolds, leader of his faction, de
manded everything, and got it. He put
in his chairman over the protest of ne
groes and many whites. A white man
asked negro named Fits who gave col
ored men their freedom. Fits replied,
''Good soldiers of the North, while such
fellows as you were running and hiding
like the devil"
Several colored speakers warned the
whites that unless recognition was given
them they would defeat the republican
ticket. Seeing they were to get nothing

house with mighty cheer. AS they went
out Reynolds mounted a table and
spouted, ''Let the traitors go The re-

White republicans, after considerable
wrangling, nominated the following
ticket: Sheriff, NJ E. league
treasurer, E, T. Kapp; register

After leaving the court house the ne

J. S. Fits for the General Assembly
The negroes have twelve hundred voters
in the county and therefore hold the bal

Free From Government ProcIarnatioI

BY IabIe 10 The SIate Chronicle.
LONDON, Sept 17.-Ireland is at last
free from government proclamation and
removable magistrates. Chief Secretary
Mauley has kept the promise made by the
liberal party to the Irish people. So far
as this important step is concerned and
as Ireland is under government of the
law, this at once makes it impossible for
such outrageous prosecutions as drove
O'Brien and Dalon to America and made
them free street farce throughout Ire
land. Advices received from all parts
of the island show that the people have
received the new policy with the great
est satisfaction.

ands of people at that early
hour were on the streets cheering

by Mr. Ewing on home rule, and typi-
cal North Carolina stump speech by W,

During the forenoon Ms Stevenson,
who is the guest of Mrs. j. w. Clark,
