AN AUTOPSY ORDERED.

County Coroner G.. NJ. Orr, acting
under concurrent advice of County
Judge E. f. Friedell aud Prosecuting
Attorney j. NJ. Carter, has ordered an
autopsy, on the remains, of the late
c. w. Kennedy, whose sudden and
mysterious death was announced in
yesterdays issue of the DEMOCRAT
DR.. S. A. Summons. assisted by DR..
James Mcmahon, will make the post
mortem examination. A thorough
chemical analysis will, we understand,
be made of the contents of the stom-
ach, probably necessitating removal
Of same to some other point, to secure
better facilities for the analysis, 1t
has, as yet, been impossible to ascer-
tain the whereabouts of either family
or relatives Of the deceased The only
clue to the antecedents of the deceased
so far as we can learn, IS taken from
statements made by himself on the
night before his death, next morning,
his tongue loosened by liquor, he
suddenly grew confidential with those
about him and acknowledged that he
was thrice married man. Said also
that he had landed property in the
State Of Indiana The letter found
among his effects was evidently from
female correspondent. II is assert
ed that Kennedy was, at one time, an
inmate of the Miller County Poor
House, but this is uncertain. The
mystery, surrounding the mans
strange and sudden taking off, re-
mains as deep as ever and viii, in all
likelihood, continue thus until the
Chemical agents Of the expert shall
have thrown the search Eight Of un-
erring science upon the dark places
and made clear the cause of this tragic
death.

POSSIBLE SURRENDER.
reason.

There are now only three members
of the Olyphant train robbing gang
still at large, aud they are so hard
pressed by the pursuing posses as to
make their capture a mere matter OF
time. Indeed their only escape from
capture or death lies in an immediate
surrender of themselves to the officers
of the law. This they seem to realize,
but in the hope of obtaining certain
concessions from the law, ale making
desperate efforts to secure certain con-
ditions TO the surrender. which now
appears inevitable.
This fact is shown by the following
news, which was received in this city
yesterday from Little Rock:
A letter has just been received by
the Governor from Sheriff Galbraith,
of Benton county, to the effect that
Chesney and Powell, two of the Oily
phant train robbers, have signifed a
willingness to surrender and confess,
if promised immunity from capital
punishment, saying they had nothing
to do with McNally's death.
The Governor has wired the sheriff
to make no promises until a letter of
authority is sent him. AS far as
known no definite action has yet been
taken.
The Governor also reports that
Chesney was shot in an encounter
with a deputy marshal near Benton
vile, while the latter was enroute to
Bentonvllle with a whiskey peddler.
Chesney, with his pals, was met in the
road and ordered to halt. They fired
upon the marshal, the latter returning
the fire.
Sheriff Hobgood arrived early Mon
day morning and will return with
Jim Wyrlck, one of the alleged train
robbers, now in the penltentiary, TAX
ing him to Newport for preliminary
hearing. He will probably waive ex-
animation and be brought back again
to await trial. This proceeding is
made necessary from the fact that the
otfense was committed in jackson
county

Elliott, Fireman Beavers and Brakeman

Beavers and Spence were blown
200 yards on one side of the track
and Elliott 100 yards on the other

THE NEW BOAT.

The new Ericsson boat, destroyer"
is now complete and ready to start
from her present moorings off New
York City on her long sea journey to
Brazilian waters. The Destroyer
goes in tow of another vessel which
will carry on her decks the narrow
torpedo boat The new marine won
der has been given start run to test
her engines and her steering gear, in
anticipation of her trial run. In the
preliminary squirt the jets were expe-
rimented with This is an appliance
which elects water either from the
port or starboard quarter and is de-
signed to maueuver the boat rapidly
when it is desired to get her out Of
range. One test made with this hy-
drulic steering apparatus showed its
effectiveness. Without causing the
boat to move forward or backward
the jets forced her storm to and fro
as if it we're moved by some unseen
giant hand. This apparatus is con-
trolled and operated from the small
turret in which the gun is placed, and
aids in securing rapid aim. The yes
sci which will tow the Destroyer has
been chartered and is ready to receive
the narrow boat on her deck. 1t is
announced that the Destroyer will on
ly be taken as far south as the West
Indies by the towing vessel and will
then be turned over to the Nitcheroy,
which will tow her the rest of the
distance. Approaching the Brazilian
ports she will be manned supplied
with ammunition and turned loose
on her own account She will, how
ever, remain in company with the
Nitcheroy as long as possible, using
the dynamite cruiser as base of sup
plies.

the move.

WIYsTON'S TOBACCO TRADE.
Receipts of Leaf Large and Business Ac-
tive-The Shipments.

WINSTON, n. c., Feb. 4.-Special.-Re-
ceipts of leaf tobacco on the market this
week have been large, and business very
active at all the warehouses. The mild
condition of the weather has put the
tobacco N marketable shape. and. but for
the terrible roads leading to town, the
receipts would have been much larger.
Planters are anxious to sell their crops,
and will do so just as fast as the weather
Will permit Reports from all the mar
kets in the State Indicate active sales for
the week ending to-day.
The warehouses here showed a prepon-
derance Of wagon trade. Very much
choice stock was offered, and the bidding
was active on every sale. Some extra
fine lots Of filters were sold. most OF
which was taken up by local manufac-
turers. Quite a large number Of these
are now on the market buying stock.
Wrappers, as usual. were scarce during
the weeks sales. though several good
lots were offered and brought fancy
prices. On all desirable stock the bidding
was active. and good values realized on
every thing sold. Taking the weeks bust
ness as whole, 1t was quite satisfac-
tory-the planters in most instances being
we'll pleased with their sales.
Manufacturing business continues good
and active. Orders are coming in freely
for all grades of Winston goods, and
manufacturers are getting ready for
heavy work this year. The shipments
this week aggregated 100000 pounds.
