An Attempted Elopement.

AsAEvILLE, N. c., Feb. 27.--Several
days ago Bud Whittimore, who lives at
Barnardsville, in this county and is a
married man, planned an elopement
with fffteen-year old girl, Miss Nc
Kinney. j. Ell. Roberts, her cousin,
heard of the affair and warned the
parents of the girl, and the plans
were frustrated. Whittimore sent ROT
erts word that he would meet him on
halfway ground and shoot it out.
Saturday night Roberts entered
WhittimOre's store and spoke to him
about the message, whereupon Whit
more began shooting. Roberts drew
his pistol and returned the fire, when
"BigJim" Whittimore, father of Bud
ran in with shot gun.
Then began promiScuOuS firing,
in which Big Jim was shot three times
and Roberts once. Jim walked about
one hundred yards with bullet ia
his brain and fell dead Roberts died
last night from the effects of his
wound.
1t is believed that Jim was killed
by bullets from Buds pistol. Bud is
also shot, but escaped.

SENATOR'S DAY AND JONES
Exchange Few Warm Words Over
the Electric Light Bill.

The bill to confirm certain contracts
between the Winston-Salem Electric
Light and Railway Company and
Winston-Salem, was defeated in the
Senate Saturday.
The bill was opposed in vigorous
speech by Senator e. B. Jones, of this
district. A breezy tilt followed be-
tween Messrs. Day and Jones. Mr..
Day spoke in favor of the bill and sta
ted that the town of Winston, in op-
posing the bill to ratify its contract,
was not acting in good faith with the
corporations.
Mr.. Jones said he objected to the
gentlemen making statements on this
floor that were not true.
Mr.. Day-What do you mean by
saying that what | state is not SO?
Mr.. Jones-I mean what / say.
Mr.. Day-You shall not address me
in that way.
Mr.. Jones-I will do SO if you make
misstatements.
Mr.. Day-I'll show you whether you
will or not!
The President loudly raped the
gavel and called upon the gentlemen
to refrain from indulging in pesonali-
ties.
Mr.. Day then continued his argu-
ment in favor of the bill.
Mr.. Owen spoke against the bill,
stating that the people of Winston did
not want it passed, and that to pass 1t
would be reflection upon the people
of Winston.
Mr.. Jones after making a final ap-
peal against the bill called the previ-
Gus question, but Withdrew it for Mr..
| Sandifer to make some remarks in IA
vor of the bill. The bill failed to pass,
oy vote of ayes "A, noes 9. A mo-
! tion of Mr.. Jones to reconsider and to
| lay that motion on the table pre-
vailed.

ANOTHER FIRE.
The New Tobacco Firm of Kerner.
Newton & Co., Burned Ont.
Winston has had another fire.


Winston has had another fire.
Just before 2 o'clock on Saturday
night a fire alarm was turned in from
the Third ward, and it was soon dis
covered that the tobacco mandatory
of Kerner, Newton Sc Co., on Chestnut
street, was on fire. The Winston fire
company, delayed first by the horses
getting out of their harness, and fur
ther by starting off in a direction OPP
posite from the fire, finally arrived at
the burning building. The Salem
company arrived about the same time,
and soon four full streams were play
ing upon the flames and quickly had
them under control.
Notwithstanding the large amount
of water used, the water in the reser-
vO1r was only sunk Is inches.
The hook and ladder company,
performed its first service Saturday
night, was promptly on hand and rem
dered valuable service.
The fire originated on the second
floor of the building in which was
stored between 1900 and 100. 900
pounds of leaf tobacco and several
thousand cigars, all of which is total
loss by fire and water. The second
and third stories of the building are
Quilted, but the walls remain intact
and the first floor is but little DANA
ged.
Messrs. Kerner, Newton & Co., had
81, 500 insurance on their stock, but
their loss is considerably greater and

ANOTHER r r.. FOR WINSTON.
Which Will Put Her on a Through
Route.

From the Charleston Is. CO. News and Courier
1t is stated upon good authority
that the Atlantic Coast Line Rail
road has completed preliminary sur
vey for new railroad from Wades-
boro, on it's Cheraw and Salisbury
branch, to Winston, n. G. The road
will be ninety miles long, and Will
penetrate the Yadkin Valley. which
has one of the most remarkable water
powers in the country, the fall being
about 200 feet in the mile At Wins
ton the road will connect with the
Roanoke & Southern, branch of the
Western, which has its terminus at
that place. The building of this con-
uecting line will give the Norfolk and
Western a Southern outlet for the
products of the coal fields, and the
Norfolk and Western is, therefore,
thought to be in close sympathy with
the enterprise, and it is considered
probable that it will facilitate its con-
struction. In fact it is reported that
The Norfolk and Western, as well as
the Coast Line, is an endorser upon
the bonds for constructing the line.
When opened, however, the road will
be operated by the Atlantic Coast
lime. 1t is further stated upon the
same authority that the work of con-
struction will be commenced just as
soon as the locating surveys have
been completed, and that it will be
pushed to completion with all posi-
BILE raDidity.

THE TOBACCO MARKET.
The Tobacco Journals Review of the
Past Week.

Loose receipts at the warehouses
continue large last week. But for
the cold wave which swooped down on
Wednesday, the sales would have been
blocked all the week, for the planters
are disposed to sell as fast as they can
get their crops here. The weeks bus
mess, at any rate, has been very salts
factory.
The quality of the offerings is about
the same with but little change. The
proportion of wrappers was a little
larger than heretofore, a fact well
pleasing to manufacturers. Manu-
featuring stock ranging from common
to medium predominates, with linn
tied supply of fine filters.
Prices on all grades keep well up
and the demand for leaf is very
strong. Nearly all manufacturers are
out in full force and buying freely.
Manufacturing stock maintains a
steady demand and brings outside
prices. Wrappers sell at high figures
and are eagerly taken. The market
closed firm with a steady demand for
all working grades.
Manufacturing trade continues
good. Manufacturers report con-
tinuance of heavy orders and say the
trade is buying stock this year with
strong confidence in large future sales.

office for the week shows good ship

SOME RARE FLOWERS.
A Peep Into MIR. G. A. Hege's Green
House.

While passing down Salt street, in
Salem, a SENTINEL reporter, through
the kindness of Mr.. G. A. Hege, was
shown through the large and con-
veniently-arranged green house of
that gentleman.
Mr.. Hege now has in his green
house the prettiest and most varied
collection of flowers, both native and
exotic, ever grown in Winston-Salem,
and will compare favorably with any
in this State.
Mr.. Hege has many curious and
interesting varieties. The amorpho-
phallus fivieri deserves special men
tion. This is a species of lily and
closely allied to the axum and Gala,
and is native of Cochin. China.
The bulb of the plant shown the re-
porter was twelve inches in diameter.
From the top of the bulb to the flower,
which is shaped exactly like the Gala,
is eighteen by ten inches and has a
dark green color.
The petal of the flower is three feet
high and shade darker than the
| flower proper. This is very rare
plant, Mr.. Hege's being about the
| first imported to this country.
Two other rare eXotics in this green
house are cycas reyoluta and aZalia
| just imported from Belgium, which
are very rare plants.
The reporter returns thanks for a
| pretty heliotrope and geranium but
| ton-hole boquet.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 81 The Ha-
waiian treaty, it is thought, is dead
for this session. This is reluctantly
conceded even by its friends. The ac-
tion of the Senate in refusing to go in
to executive session, though that ac-
tion doubtless had some reference to
the Hanchett Circuit Judge nominal
tion, was also accepted as conclusive
indication that the treaty would be
shelved for the balance of the session.
The treaty matter can, of course, be
taken up in the extra session which
will convene Immediately after the
present Congress dies, but unless some
marked change occurs, there is be-
lieved to be no prospect of action up
on it during the life of the present
administration.

BURNED TO DEATH.
The Horrible Fate of a Helpless Col
ored Baby.

A little negro child was burned to
death last week near Ninth and
Liberty streets not far from Dalton's
factory. 1t seems that the child,
which was only about year old, fell
from its chair into an open fire place,
it's head fell upon the embers and the
child was dead before assistance could
come. The child's clothing was not
buried, nor even scorcbed. The chair
was overturned but did not fall into
the fire. The mother claims that she
tied the baby to the chair. but other
colored women dispute this.
