Consul ution says of hun:
An evening with Thomas Nelson

How many have read his char ming

speak the old negro dialect; his
natural southern accent--iv is as near

to each o'her, IN very truth.
Of course Mr.. Page before an At
lanta audience could not begin a
speech or reading where the intro
duction of him was left of. He would
necessarily be delay d several minutes
to smile aud bow before shower OF
appreciative applause
When this was ended he made a
pretty speech 10 which ne referred
touchingly to the spirit that prompted
the occasion-the memory of Grady
and the hos i,al TO his lame.

EVERYBODY, of course, had read it;

Every paragraph was applauded;

Those who heard him read it las,
night wondered why it was not among
the very first stories to tempt him tc

He made it very interesting, indeed
and II closed the evenings programme
with that success that it was destined
TO obtain.
Mr.. Page will give another OF hi:

Protests His Innocence.
tBy telegraph 70 tho Inspatch.l


CoLUMBA, s. G., April l3.-George
Kinard (colored) was to-day found guilty
OF felonious assault on Mrs. Addison. q
white woman living at Irmo, and was
sentenced to be hanged May 26th.
When asked if he had anything to Say
why the death sentence should not be
imposed, he said lam just as innocent
as any man in this courthouse. never
had any evil designs against any white
woman in my life. 1t is curious that
should wait until was over sixty years
old to attempt such a crime as this. 10
the jury he said Good will hold you
responsible for this verdict"
On trial it was sought to be established
that foot.tracks leading from the place
where the crime was committed were
his, but an exhibition of his bare feet IN
court disproved it, Ii was also sworn
that the assailant had whistled about
the time OF the assault. but Kinard had
two front teeth out, and it was demon
strated that this precluded whistling.
The woman, however, swore to his iden-
tity unhesitatingly, and that sealed bis
fate

about full, there being few scattering
Democrats in the audience. Mr. But
Ter expressed his qualification for so
large an audience and wished it was still
larger.
Those on the stand were T. A. Epes.
late Third-party candidate for Senate for
the counties OF Mecklenburg and Char
lotte, Va. Il. @. Butler. defeated Third
party candidate for State Auditor Of
North Carolina; u. T. Garrett, defeated
candidate of that party for the Legis-
lature from Vance county, while the
speaker himself was elector.at-large on
the Weaver ticket. No Democrats, Re-
publican, or non-partsan Alliance
man was on the stand, only these signif-
cant four. Whether the object is to
turn over the Alliance in body TO tho
Third party is not susceptible of proof,
but there is reliable information that
pledge is being exacted of Alliance-men
to vote for such men as the Alliance may
endorse, and that they are holding
weekly meetings in this county.

ROBBERY AND MURDER.
Terrible Double Crimc---An
old Man the Victim.
lBy telegraph to the Dispt

SAvANNAH, Ga, April 13.-The
Morning Nc,oS has received the follow
ing from Valdosta, Ga. The worst
crime in the history OF Lowndes county
was committed about shutdown yester-
day, seven miles south OF this place, the
victim being an old man named John L.
Wisenbaker. Mrs. Wisenbaker, his wife,
was in the house attending to her do
mestic duties when she was suddenly
accosted by man. He commanded her
to keep still and not make any alarm or
he would kill her. The villain then
took Wisenbaker's gun down from
.the rack and went into an adjoin-
ing room and proceeded to break
open wardrobe in which the old man
kept his money. Mrs. Wisenbaker
slipped out and called her husband, who
was hoeing in patch about fifty yards
away. When told by his wife about the
strangers actions, the old man, disre-
garding his wife's entreaties, entered
the house and was met by fusilade of
bullets from the robbers pistol. None
of them, however took effect, and
the old man raised his hoe to strike.
The stranger quickly seized the gun and
sent a charge OF shot into Wisenbaker's
heart and he fell, calling TO his wife to
run, saying that he was killed. Mrs
Wisenbaker then ran to the nearest
neighbors and gave the alarm, but when
help arrived the robber had gone. taking
with him what money he could find.
Three men are under arrest on suspi-
cion.

Especial telegram to tho pispa,sa.l

RALEIGH, N. c., April 13.-The coun-
ty alliances all over the State met to-
day. Your correspondent asked Third
Party Chairman Ohio Wilson il the
Wake County Alliance had discussed the
matter OF the reduction OF the cotton
acreage. Wilson said that had not been
mentioned, but the Alliance had dis
cnssed what he termed the "cussed-
ness" of the Legislature in attempting
TO repeal the State-Alliance charter.
Perhaps this was also the subject of dis
cussion in the other county alliances,
which for many months have considered
politics and not agriculture.
REoUIsITIoN.
Governor Carr to-day made reduisition
on the Governor of Texas for Charles
Williamson, who is wanted for the
murder OF his cousin, Rss williamson,
IN Cleveland county IN 1891. The
Sheriff Of Cleveland will go to Texas
after the man.
The Governor has received request,
the Wilmington Chamber OF Commerce,
asking him to order the 800, 900 appro-
priation for State quarantine station at
Southport to be made available. The
selection OF the site Of the station has
been made by the State Quarantine
Board. The rest remains in the Gov
ernor's hands.
MAY BE CLOSED.
The people of Fayetteville have, I'M
der the terms Of the act of the last
Legislature, voted on the question Of
sustaining the public schools. The vote
was adverse, go the public schools will
probably be closed, Private subscrip-
ton has until now kept them. Negroes
largely voted against the tax, and in this
way again illustrated their ignorance.
There are now twenty-tbree children
in the Odd-Fellows' Orphanage near
Goldsboro'.
Governor Carr will, upon his return
from Richmond, decide as to the holding
of the encampment or encampments OF
the State Guard during the coming sum-
mer.
ACCEPTED.

The accident at Bostian's bridge
eighteen months ago, in which so many

THE ANTLERs SITUATION.
1t Is Now Considered Serious by
the War Department.
lBy telegraph TO the DispI

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Captain
Guthrie, who arrived at Antlers on
Tuesday, made a Geographic report of
the situation TO the War Department
to-day. He regards the situation as
very serious There are large number
of Indians on the ground who are OPP
posed to the Jones militia and are afraid
to disband and 60 home as long 80 the
militia remains. The Territorial officers
have no trouble in serving writs and
making arrests, but the course which
has been pursued by the militia in
making arrests has terrorized the whole
section.
Captain Guthrie says that if the Jones
faction could be induced TO disband the
trouble would end He invited Gov
ernor Jones to accompany him to Ant
iers, but he declined TO do so, saying
that his life would not be safe if he did
so.
The War Department now considers
the situation at Antlers serious, and will
probably direct military officers to send
more troops there.
