years, a wealthy and retired resident of the
town of bennington in the county of War
wick, was today shot dead by his son, aged
40 years, worthless character. Greatrex
had limited his son to an allowance of 91000

his father paid no heed to his appeals for
more, but intimated that unless his son
ceased his dissipation and extravaganza,
his name would be stricken from the
fathers will. Exasperated at not receiving
more money, the son today hid behind a
hedge and, as his father was taking his
customary morning walk, shot him dead.

GREAT InRIGATING DITCH.
KittItas County 10 be Supplied
with a Big Canal.

EIIENsBURGH, June 1.-The people of
this city are greatly elated over the fact
that the guarantee necessary to insure the
building of big irrigating ditch had been
raised. The fact was telegraphed to ]. H.
Wells, the Seattle agent Of the capitalists
who intend to build tthe canal. The sur
veyors enter the field on Wednesday. The
work of construction will be under way in
a short time.
The proposed ditch will encircle the east
side Of the valley, will be about eighty
miles long and put water on 1900 acres of
land which is now worthless, but which,
with yater, will be worth $25 to $50 an
acre. The proposition to the land owners
is very fair and entirely satisfactory to
those who raised the guarantee, and no
doubts are entertained that a ditch carry
ing % 600 inches of water will be berunning
its full capacity in one year from now.
This means the infusion Ofnew life into the
valley and city, AID will prove the greatest
blessing of any enterprise ever inaugu-
rated in this section.

Manner

NEW YORK, June L. Mrs. Maggie
Springer, an old lady who lives at 22
Park row, is lying at the pointof death in
the Chambers Street Hospital, from the
effects of terrific beating given her by
Michael Lutz, her boarder. Mrs springer's
husband, who became insane from worry
ing over an invention, was sent to the
asylum on Wards Island several months
ago. His wife was left to earn her own
living by keeping boarders.
Lutz, who said he was a lithographer
went home and raised a great row. He
had been drinking heavily and after sing
ing several songs threw a chair out of the
window. Mrs. Springer reconstructed with
him, and succeeded in getting him quiet.
Later in the day, when she had sent her
young children to school, Lutz walked
into her room. He struck hera terrible
blow on the head with a chair rung and
felled her to the floor. Then he began to
open the bosom of her dress. where she
carried all the money she had saved.
Mrs. Springer fought with such might
that she regained her feet, but it was only
to be knocked down again with a sharp
piece of ithOgrapher's stone. Lutz struck
her until he inflicted fourteen wounds, and
then he left her unconscious. Another
lodger found her and summoued a police
man. When she revived she found that
Lutz had accomplished the robbery and
had left her penniless. at the hospital it
was found that one blow had caused a de-
pressed fracture Of the skull.
Lutz changed his bloody clothes after
leaving his victim and then escaped. De-
tectives think he has left the city.

THIS writer WAS profoundly touched
b. the announcement OF Col. Polk S
death, which was read while stopping
in Chicago. We had seen no mention
Of his sickness and the intelligence Of
his sad and untimely demise was all
the more unexpected and startling.
However we might have disagreed with
him as regards some of his plans and
purposes politically, We admired him
as man and esteemed him as z warm
personal friend. Genial and com
panionabls, with magnetic presence
and charming personality, he was one
OF those characters that gain their wa y
into mems hearts and find Judgment
there. We sincerely mourn over the
death of Col. Polk and shed sympa-
thetic tear above his untimcly grave.
And It is with pleasure that we see
steps being taken to erect suitable
monument to his memory. The
Raleigh correspondent of the Whining
ton Messenger writing under date Of
June 24th, says:
Last evening at meeting of friends
of the late l.. L. Polk, held here, the
"Polk Memorial and Relief Associa-
ton" was organized. Its object is to
raise funds for monument over the
grave in Oakwood cemetery and for
the relief of his family as far as may
be thought proper. The following
were elected trustees: S. B. Alexander,
B. F. Grady, w. A. B. Branch, A. H.
A. Williams, Elias Carr, ]. L. Ramsey,
A. J. Dalby, w. J. Peele, N. B.
Broughton, ]. a. Hoskins, R. ].
league, H. r. Jones, R. ]. Buffaloe,
Harry Skinner and ]. ]. Thomas. The
president and other officers of the
State Alliance and the presidents of
the County Alliances are also trustees
eX-ofhcio. The trustees here elected
the following executive committee: E.
Nick. Goodwin, S. Ohio Wilson, R. J.
Powell and w. S. Barnes H. w. Aver
was elected secretary and treasurer.
The executive committee will collect
funds, decide upon the monument and
the cost and also the amount to be
used for the relief of the family. The
board of trustees is called by president
Marion Butler to meet at Greensboro
the second Tuesday in August. That
is the opening day of the annual ses-
sion of the State Alliance.

HON. JAMES G.. BLAINE.

The people of the whole country
irrespective of party politics or see
tlonal bias, will sympathizs most
deeply with Hon: James G.. Blaine
that splendid type of American man.
hood and craftsmanship, in his sad
bereavement. The death of his son
Emmons, young man ofloftly charac-
ter and brilliant promise, in whom were
centred the tender affections and am
bilious hopes Of a proud father, touches
the popular heart in manner that
causes us to think only of the bereaved
parent in the hour of his great sor-
row.
And it was peculiarly fitting for the
National Democratic Convention in
Chicago to pass resolutions expressing
sympathy for the great ex-premier.
Representatives of another political
faith though they were, yet they
realized that we are all Americans and
cone touch of SORROW makes the whole
world kin" AS the Atlanta CoastiM-
ton SO we'll expresses it:
1t was tribute worthy of the golden
hearts that prompted it-that resolution
rendering the sympathy of the conven-
ton to Mr.. Blaine in his affection
and its unanimous adoption was just
what might have been expected.
Naturally, the sympathies of the
people of every section and every party
are with the Blaines in their bereave-
ment, and the spontaneous expression
of the popular feeling shows how one
touch Of nature brings us together,
despite the limitations of sectional
and political differences.
And the Chicago incident shows
another thing. too. Blaine's name
was greeted with a storm Of cheers,
even before the tenor of the resolu-
ton was understood. The great
secretary whose genius and patriotism
belong 10 the whole American people
has the love and admiration of all
Democrats, and they are not slow to
give utterance to the comMsn senti-
ment
A storm of cheers and a rain of
tears--a strange mingling of enthusi-
asm and pity--these are the tributes
of the Democracy all over the land to
the rarely gifted leader, whose proud
career is drawing to the close amidst
misfortunes and SORROWS almost with
out number.

TO be creditable showing Of North
Carolina tobacco at the Worlds Fair.
Will Henderson and Vance county be
in it? Why, certainly. We can not
afford to be left out. The Raleigh
correspondent OF the Wilmington Mts-
sehser says:
One of the great features of North
Cardinals exhibit at Chicago will be
that of manufactured tobacco. 1t will
be a consolidated exhibit from the
eight great tobacco manufacturing
towns. This collection will be in charge
OF Col. Julian S. Carr, and it is quite
certain that nothing at the Worlds
Fair will surpass it, though of course
Virginia manufacturers will make great
efforts.

THAT North Carolina will be well
represented at the Worlds Fair, We
have great hope. We need to let the
outside world know more about US
our industries and resources. This can
be done by proper advertising and in
no way so effectively as by object
lessons, such as crcditable display of
our products at the Columbian Ex-
position. This in large measure is
what has made the West what it is.
Those people know the value of advsr-
Using in all its various forms, and they
make themselves heard and seen and
known. That is what North Carolina
needs to do. We want to assert our
selves more if we would attract capital
and emigration (of a desirable class

developed. Let us wake up to this
fact. We have been asleep, or par
