The Bi-Chloride Institute.

Henry Shrewsbury was picked up at
Hardinsburg by friends last Saturday and
brought down here and put in the BIZ
Chloride Institute.
When Andy Garrett and Henry Shrews-
bury entered theBi- ChlorideInst.tutethe
formed combine to drink up all the
whisky that DIR. Lanman could furnish
them, but they have signally failed.
DIR. Lanman is retaining men by his
Bf-Chloride of Gold cure that all the
temperance lecturers in the universe
could not turn from their course.
1t is no disgrace for any man to lose his
taste for whisky. Everybody knows
when you have it, and it rejoices the
hearts OF those who are near and dear to
you and pleases your friends when you
quit, besides you are well pleased with
yourself, Try the Bi-Chloride Cure.
Some amusing things occur over in the
Bi-Chloride Institute. All the whisky is
furnished patients that they wish to
drink, and usually about the first thing
they do is to get bilin' drunk. The fun
ny part comes when these accustomed
soakers get to the point that they are
losing their taste, They actually look
sorry. Whole seas of whisky all around
them. Whisky everywhere and not a
drop can they drink. Poor souls, they
never had as good thing spread out be-
fore them before, and they can not uti-
lie it..
John Shouse, "Nance" Ryan and John
Price have all come out OF the Bi-Chlo-
ride Institute in all appearances perfect
ly cured OF the liquor habit. They have
no desire whatever for whisky, and they
have increased appetites for food. Their
complications are as clear as womans,
and their general appearance and actions
are those of gentlemen, rather than the
bloated countenances and unsteady walk
of drunkards. Shouse is at work plaster
ing, Price has gone back home and is at
work and Ryan is employed in the Insti-
tute as nurse.

Corn that has been planted does not
seem to be injured much by the wet
weather That that has sprouted looks
nicely and is now taking good start to
grow. Farmers regret that they did not
go on with their planting, but in doing
so they had double risk to run, seed
corn being very scarce. The appearance
Of the weather is encouraging now, and
it will not be long until every grain of
corn will have been planted. Every
body is in rush to that end now.
Two of Clusters big boys thought they
would try their luck at fishing. Big
preparations were made, quite a good
deal OF string taken along to string the
fish upon. They returned with two little
minnows, fingers, noses and toes stiff
from cold and no fish for supper. Just
ask them how they like fishing if you
want to get knocked flat and told to
mind your own business.

The Constantine school in charge of
Mr.. Jesse Hoskinson closed April 2S,

1t is pronounced quite creditable affair
both TO teacher and pupils. One and all
acquitted themselves in the best style,
that left a feeling in the hearts of the
audience that such nice little entertain
ments were not SO rare in country
schools. Mr.. Hoskinson returns to his
Hardin county home with the good will
of both pupils and patrons,

CUSTOM.

Our hotel proprietor, Mrs. C. C. Smith,
on Monday afternoon had his combina-
ton money drawer relieved of $435 in
change by clever tramp that had been
hanging around town all day. As soon
as Mr.. Smith missed the change, about
an hour after it had been taken, his sus-
picion fell upon the tramp as Mrs. Smith
had seen him go into the bar room.
Thinking Mr.. Smith was in there too she
thought nothing of it until the money
was missed. Mr.. Smith, however, caught
the tramp just above Ekron and getting
his change back and giving the tramp
some good advice he returned home to
closer watch" over his money drawer.
The tramp was kind enough to leave a
silver watch in the drawer that belonged
to Pres Richardson.

TARANTo, Oct 16.-The British Mediter-
ranean squadron arrived here at noon es-
cOrted by the Italian warship Italia. The
visiting warships were saluted by the
forts aud replied 10 in kind. Salutes were
then exchanged between the British ad-
miral, Sir Michael Culme Seymour, and
Admiral Turf of the Italian vessels. The
banks of the canal and every point of want
age in the neigh borhood were crowded with
people who heartily cheered the British
war vessels as they passed in.
The British officers landed from the war
ships this afternoon and proceeded to the
Princess Isa bella Club, where reception
was held in honor of the visiting sailors.
An immense concourse Of people lined the
route leading from the waters edge to the
club and on sll sides unbOunded enthu-
siasm was shown.
The city and harbor were illuminated
this evening in the most elaborate manner
possible.
Bands were to be heard playing on all
sides. and the national anthem of Great
Britain sounded high above all other
music at Taranto. The real fetes, how
ever, do not begin until tomorrow.
The newspapers of Italy generally join
in extending cordial greeting to the Brit
ish fleet.
The visit is regarded everywhere in
Italy as counter demonstration to the
Russian squadron's visit to Toulon. and is
being made a matter of great demonstra-
ton. The people are focking to town
from every quarter, and the place, which
has only $4,000 Inhabitants, has already
$4,000 visitors. and lodgings and provisions
have risen TO phenomenal prices.
OF course, Great Britain is endeavoring
to give the impre ssiOn that the visit is not
in any way connected with the Toulon
visit.

Fearful Fall of an Employe at the
Nayy.Yard.

VALLEJO, Oct. 16.-John w. Bedford, a
pipe-ftter employed in tbs Construction
and Repair department Of the Mare Island
Navy-yard. sustained serious injuries this
morning, which. may result in leaving the
unfortunate man crippled for life. Bed
ford with other mechanics was engaged in
laying and distributing pipe system
throughout the monitor Mon onadnock, now
under construction at the navy-yard, and
at the time of the accident was working
on ladder directly over the large boiler
room hatch, which was uncovered. The
ladder on which Bedford was working
rested on the berth deck, while the pipes
lay under the supeTstruction deck. BY
some uDaccountable means the ladder
slipped to one side, throwing Bedford
through the open hatch through the boiler
room into the double bottoms, distance
OF fully thirty feet. He was found un-
conscious, which state he remained in for
several hours. At the navy-yard dispen-
sary an examination showed that every
rib on the right side and the collarboue
and shoulder had been fractured. The in
jured man was removed to his home in

" GIN.BURNING" WHITECAPS.
The Latest Development of the Law
less Element of the South,


less Element of the South.
RALEIGH. n. c., Oct. 16.-"Gin-burn-
ing" whitecaps have made their appear
apce in this State, and, like their brethren
in Tennessee and Louisiana, their mission
is to prevent the further ginning of cotton
wherever possible until the price of cotton
reaches 10 cents pound. Private advices
from Cleveland County state that one gin
has already been burned there, and other
owners of gins in that section have been
walned in anonymous letters that unless
they shut down their gins they will be
burned. So far the gin-ownerS have re-
fused to comply with this demand and are
guarding their property with shotguns at
night.
There is much excitement and indigna a.
tion over these incendiary letters, and de-
ternined efforts will be made to ferret out
the authors of them.
1t will be remembered that secret po-
litical organization known as "Gideon's
band" composed of radical mem bers of
the Farmers Alliance, was exposed in this
State about year ago and apparently dis
banded under threats of legal prosecu-
tions. Chief Otho Wilson of this county,
who is chairman of the State committee of
the Populist party, having been indicted
and let off after entering plea and throw
ing himself ON the mercy OF the court, a
prominent citizen of Cleveland County
writes that there are well-grounded suspi-
cions that these so-called whi:ecaps are
none other than the whilom ''Gideonites"
Of that county.
Governor Carr on his return to this city
this week will probably take some official
notice OF the matter. for such things will
not be tolerated in North Carolina.

TOVEY'S MURDER.
Trial of William Evans
Commenced.
A STRONG CASE MADE OUT.
Chain of Evidence by Which 1t Is
Expected to Convict Him of
Killing the Messenger.

JACKSON, Oct. 16.-The trial of William
Evans for he murder of Michael Tovey,
Wells, Fargo & Co.'s messenger, who was
shot dead from the stage while making the
trip from lone to Jackson on the 18TH of
June last, was commenced in the Superior
Court this morning. District Attorney
Rust is conducting the prosecution. and
d. b. Spagnoli is the only attorney for the
defendant.
Between twenty and thirty witnesses
are present, most OF them from outside
the county. Little difficulty was expert
enced in securing jury. only ten chal-
lenges being exercised. From the District
Attorneys opening statement the prosecu-
tion expects to make out a strong case
against the accused. 1t was stated that
witness saw Evans hiding in the grass
about half mile from the fatal spot be-
fore the shooting occurred. The same
party on visiting the place Of concealment
several days thereafter picked up pipe.
which Dumber of persons are prepared
to identify as belonging to Evans.
After the murder it Is claimed that
Evans changed his name and went
south, asking for work but decin-
lux w WUIk WUcu IL Wdo OAClOu
him. He avoided highways as much as
possible and was continually talking about
the killing of Tovey to parties he met.
The facts. together with his admissions of
guilt and Identification by the stage-driver,
are relied upon to form an irresistible
chain to bring the crime home to the de-
fendant.
d. c. Radcliff. the stage-driver. was the
first witness. He says he saw the would
be robber as he rose up behind stone wall
before the shooting. He was not over ff-
teen feet away. Although his face was
blackened there were peculiarities of the
eyes, nose and cheeks by which he was
able positively to identify the murderer.
He also noticed a peculiar shuttle in his
gait as he walked away after firing four
shots. From these things he positively
recognized Evans as the one who CON-
mitted the crime.
The case will probably occupy the entire
week. None Of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s men
are here. Sheriff Tn orn Of Calaveras, who
made the arrest and who has devoted much
time in working up the case, is here,
deeply interested In the proceedings.
