Crops are Good-A Statement as to D..
CRAFTS Arrest.
Correspondence of the Sentinel
JOLIET, n. c., July 1O-Please allow
me enough space for few news notes
and an explanation concerning the
detection and arrest of Peter DeGraff.
Our community was very much shock
ed on hearing that the nine and sew
enteen year-old sons of our neighbor.
Mr.. Vipman, were killed by lightning
last Saturday, and the third one near
ly killed. 1t is thought she will re-
cover.
Our people seem to be well pleased
with crops. Tobacco and corn are
looking well; wheat is good, and oats
seem better than usual. Financially,
we are like other people, crying hard
times.
The r. & D. railroad bridge force is
still at work on trestle near this
place.
Now for the explanation concerning
DeGraff: If | am not mistaken, YOU
said in The SENTINEL that a tele-
gram was received from Rural Hall
stating that DeGraff got off the train
there at , O'Clock p. m, and that he
was seen to pass through Old Town,
titled Sheriff McArthur / saw De
Graft pass here between . and IL
o'clock a. m. the day he was arrested.
| saw Jim Tesh meet him. Jim Tesh
came and told me it was DeGraff,
sure Jim said he was going to see
that he was caught, so he went to
Old Town and tried to get a horse
that he might inform the sheriff, but
was refused horse. He then went
to Esquire Hauser and wanted to
make an affidavit that it was Peter
DeGrdff. This was refused him,
whereupon he asked to go to Winston
with Frank Hines to see the sheriff.
He was refused this, as the Old Town
people said DeGraff might kill him
on the way, so Mr.. Hines went while
Jim Tesh followed DeGraff nearly to
where the sheriff caught him. L
make this statement to show that
DeGraff never got off the train at Ru-
raj Hall at 2 O'Clock p. III. the day he
was caught, and to show that jim
Tesh was first instrumental in catch
ing DeGraff. Honor to whom honor
is due. j.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Two Brothers Meet With a Sad Death
West Of Winston.
JOHN AND LUTHER VEPMAN
Were the Names of the Young Men
Their Ages IS and II Years Re
specIiyels-Were Standing Under
Tree sWhen the Flash of Light
ming Came-Sstier Stunned.

nIDg CaIne-SstIer Stunned.
Two brothers killed and sister
stunned by lightning.
That is the sad news that was
brought to Winston Saturday night
from the Marienbad Springs, four
miles west of Winston.
John and Luther Vipman were the
names of the unfortunate young men.
The first named was 13 years old and
the latter II.
The boys were working Saturday
afternoon in a meadow with their
father about one mile beyond the
Springs. Seeing a storm coming up,
the father told his children, two sons
and daughter, to go under large
tree near the edge of the meadow
until the rain was over They went,
but just as the Oldest son leaned up
against the tree a keen flash of light
ming caple down its trunk, thereby
killing the two brothers and stunning
the sister.
The youngest son was about three
seet from the tree, while the sister,
who is about six years old, stood about
six feet away.
The father was Mortified when he
went out to the tree and found The
three children lying on the ground.
He thought at first that they were
dead The daughter soon regained
consciousness and is now thought to
be out Of danger.
The funeral services of the two
young men were conducted by Rev.
II. a. Brown from Beck's church at 3
o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Judson Nipman, a brother of the
young men who met such a sudden
Death is in the employ of d. H.
Browder & Co.. this city.
As soon as he heard of the sad
news lie went home, riding one of
Mr. providers grey horses. During
the night the animal died. Death, it
is thought, was not brought on by
the trip, as the young man was one
hour and a half making the trip IF
five miles.

THE sCHoULER FAILURE.
The Deed of Assignment Filed-Pre-
ferred Creditors.

Mr.. d. d. Schouler, who has for
several years conducted an extensive
and successful general merchandise
business in this city, has fled deed
of assignment, naming ]. L. Patter-
son as assignee.
The immediate cause of the failure
was the closing of the First National
Bank, in which Mr.. Schouler had suf-
ficient funds to have met his most ur-
gent claims; but the Cooking up of
that money, the slim cash trade in
consequence of the general depression,
and the Inability to obtain ready cash
on collateral, made it necessary to
assign.
The total Indebtedness is about $780,
900. Of this amount SO, 1870 is pre-
ferred to various parties, most local
creditors. 1t is impossible as yet to
ascertain the amount of assets.

Correspondence of the Sentinel
CROSS ROADS CHURCH, n. c., July
s. We appreciate more and more

Winston.

A large audience assembled in the
handsome rooms of the Twin-City
Club Saturday night and witnessed
the appropriate exercises in connec-
tion with the presentation to the

ture of Col. Joseph Winston.
The presentation address was made
by A. III. Eiier, Esq. 1t was highly
appropriate and well-received. He

invitation, made few remarks on
how he secured the first etching of
Col. Winston. He said that he had
been amply repaid for the work he
had done.

DID HE APPLY THE TORCH?
7. 4. Dance Arrested on Suspicion
Of Having
SET FIRE TO his own PROPERTY.

Fire on Church Street in the Night
Under Suspicious Circumstances
The Stock Was Small and Well
Insured-The Owner Arrested on
Suspicion.
About 9 p. m. Sunday night the small
furniture store of T. A. Dance, on
Church street, was discovered to be
on fire, and an alarm was turned in
which quickly brought the fire COM
panies on the scene. The fire had
gained but little Roadway and was
quickly extinguished.
An examination disclosed the fact
that the fire started in a barrel of
rubbish in the rear of the store. The
barrel contained coal, straw and other
rubbish, upon which it appeared that
kerosene had been freely used. There
was but small stock of cheap furni-
ture in the store, probably not eX
ceeding 500 worth, upon which, it is
understood, Dance had insurance to
the amount of $500. The circumstan-
ces were so suspicious that Dance was
arrested and carried before acting
mayor Webb, before whom the accuS
ed made several conflicting state
ments. Several witnesses were exam
ihCO AOU S"Oius UlIC cfIucIlCc
against Dance was so strong that he
was bound over in the sum of
81, 900 for trial before Squire Pegram
Failing to- give bond he was
committed to Jail.
DANCE GIVEN A HEARING.
T. A. Dance, who was arrested Sun
day night on suspicion of setting fire
to his stock of furniture in a store
room on Church street, was given a
preliminary hearing before Justice
Pegram and bound over to the
Superior Court in a $500 bond,
in default of which he was sent to
jail.
I Mr.. John Hanes, chief of the fire
department, was the first witness put
ON the stand for the State He told
about going into Dances store and
finding shavings and excelsior, and
smelling kerosene oil. He also told
about asking Dance how near he was
to the sto1e Sunday afternoon, and
that his (Dance's) reply was that he
was not nearer than the courthouse
square.
o. r. Mallard said that Dance
bought gallon of kerosene oil at his
store between sunset and dark Satur-
day evening.
Several witnesses were placed on
the stand who testified that Dance. so
far as they knew, was a man of good
character. One said that he (Ddnce)
lived in North Danville, Va, for sew
eral years, and was for one or more
terms member of the town council
The evidence against Dance, while
circumstantial, is considered very
damaging.
A STORE BURNED IN LIBERTY.
About o'clock Saturdaymorning the
store of Simon L. Kiger, in Fairview,
a suburb of Liberty, was burned.
Being outside of the city limits, no
| alarm was turned in, and the fire was
under such Roadway when discovered
that nothing was saved from the
store. The stock was a small one. not
exceeding $500, and was Ensured for
all it was worth"

Light Breaks at the Warehouses;
Manufacturers at Work.
From the Southern Tobacco Journal, July 81
A very quiet week this in leaf cir
cles. Weather has been hot and dry
and the receipts consisted mostly of
stock shipped in by planters and by
small dealers on other markets. The
sales each day were light and nothing
like large sales can be expected until
the weather puts tobacco in shape to
be handled.
Prices during the week were a shade
be tier than heretofore and the de-
mand stronger. Several more facto-
rieS have put in larger forces and are
working tobacco sold fairly well
during the week, considering the ger
eral stringency in money affairs which
still holds sway.
The revenue Office here, after being
closed for few days, opened up again
on yesterday with large sale of stamps,
the sale for the day being $12, 564. q.
Collector Elias has been re-commiS-
stoned to hold over here until his sue
cessOr is appointed.
The young tobacco crop is now suff-
ering somewhat from the dry and hot
weather and it is not so promising as
it was last week.
The agricultural report places the
crop four points under the average at
the same date of last year.
Manufacturers are working larger
forces this week and there is better
feeling about business. Shipments
are good for the season, but collections
are very slow.

IT'S SAD-'TIS SAD.
A Young Man is Tired of Life Because
His Girl Went Marry Him.

Tony Thomas is victim of unre-
Quilted love, and all the gladness and
joy have gone out from his life and
left him hopeless and weary. He is
tired of this mundane sphere and has
made three Intellectual efforts to climb
the golden stairs by the laudanum
route.
His last attempt was made last
Sunday, when he drank two bottles
of the vile compound which is sup
posed to enable one to "his qlietus
make" with ease and facility. But
some of TOny'S friends, knowing that
he had recently had an unsatisfactory
interview with his fair but unyielding
enchantresS, and noting that he was
unusually morOSe and ''down in the
lip" had kept an eye on him and dis
covered him soon after he had taken,
as he supposed and fondly hoped, the
fatal dose.
A physician was at once summoned
who put into operation heroic meas
ures to WOO back the ebbing life of the
respondent Tony. Antidotes were
administered and punishment was ap
move. After time Tony was SO far
restored that he was gotten out into
the yard where the process of restora-
tion was kept up.
Finally he so far regained conscious
ness as to become sensible of the pun
ishment inflicted, and his valorous
S. .rit rebelled at what seemed to him,
in is semi-conscious condition, inhu-
ma treatment. He began to eight
bach . He got hold Of a -paling
and st4rted for his prosecutors and
was getting in range Of the disciple of
Esculan us when that worthy turned
to flee. As he made break for the
house at a two-fOrty gate clothes
line stretched across the yard caught
him under the chin, and sent him
sprawling upon the ground, fiat of his
back He saw Tony bearing down on
him with uplifted bludgeon and yelled
to his assistants, "knock the d-n
fool down; that1l do him more good
n anything elSei'
Tony was captured before the blow
fell, and the doctor escaped unscathed
but for contact with the clOthes-line,
against the erection of which he says
the extra session of Congress should
pass an enactment.
Tony is restored to sound mind and
health, and has taken solemn vows of
celibacy.
