Murder Near PineviIIe.

A murder took place near Pine
vile Sunday afternoon and the
guilty parties are now in the tombs
Constable Baskins of Pineville,
came to Charlotte early this morn
ing with q warrant for Andy Tor
rance charging him with killing
John Reid on yesterday afternoon
and also another warrant for Jim
Castex, as an accessory to the MUIR
der. The police with Mr.. Baskins
began to make search for the two
men and it was not long before
both we're safely locked in the city
tombs. They were seen crossin g
the Square about Z O'Clock this
morning both going down East
Trade street. The officers arrested
them without any trouble Torrance
at first denied the charge and said
that his name was not Torrance
but Johnston, and afterwards said
that his right name was Tom Sum
mers. Castex had very little tc
say. After some questioning Tor.
rance admitted that he was the
right man, and then Castex also
admitted seeing the deed done
Torrance says that he was coming
from church Sunday afternoon and
was passing by Mr.. j. T. Downs
place about one mile from Pine
vile when he met Reid walkine
with woman named Mary Doug
lass. Torrance and Reid at once
got into dispute as to which one
had the engagement with the wo
man. Hot words passed. Reid il
| seemed wished to avoid the Difficult
ty and started off with the woman
This made Torrance worse. h
picked up g. rock that would weigh
| about five pounds and hurled it a
Reid striking him on the right sid,
! of the head just above the ear
just as Reid fell from the effects O.
the blow, constable Baskins who
was going down the road, saw Reie
tumble over and asked what wa
the matter. Torrance replied tina
he was having fit. Mr.. Baskin
went to where the negro lay ant
begun to examine and found q
once the hole in his head that ha,
been made by Torrance's rock
Torrance and Castex went through
the woods about this time and Mr.
Baskins had to summons help t.
take the dying negro from th
roadside.

another Years Extension Depends on the
Railway Co.-Certain Stipulations Made
to NJ. Mango by Columbian Government.
PANAMA, March f. 4-Notwithstandin
the statements of the Panama railway
representatives here and in New York
that Liquidator Mango has no author
ity to make any arrangements with the
Colombian government concerning the
management of the railway, the semi
official papers in Bogota declare that
NJ Mange's mission will be success
full. The question whether the canal
company will be granted a conces-
sion of another yeer depends upon
his obtaining certain assurances from
the Panama Railway Co. concerning
his future action, and the semi-official
assurances will be given. Among agree
ments which it is said the railway COM
pany will make is one providing that in
future no traffic alliances will be made
with transatlantic or other steamship
lines under which monopoly of traffic
to the isthmus would be created. In
other words, no steamship COM
pany shall be granted special priv
ileges over any other. On behalf
of the canal company, M. Mango
will be required to stipulate that its
share in the railway company will not
be sold or hypothecated without first
obtaining the consent of the Colombian
government. The material owned by
the Canal Co, is to be well preserved,
and no part of it is to be removed or
sold. Mango is apparently prepared to
comply with these and other equally
reasonable demands of the government,
including satisfactory settlement OF
the questions arising out of the transfer
of cars. His success in the negotiations
seems therefore to be assured.

sM1TH-aoDDARD FIGHT.
The Latter Knocked out In the Eighteenth
Rounn.


NEW ORLEANS, March 4.-The long
talked of battle between Smith and
Goddard occurred at the Olympic club
Friday night. The purse was S1O,-
900, with side bet of $1,000 About
5000 tickets were sold. The result was
complete surprise to the talent and
many sporting men will be obliged to
walk or steal rides on side door Pull
mans to get out of town. The betting
was to 1 in favor of Goddard.
At $50 George Dawson who was to
have met Tommy Ryan Thursday night,
went on for four round bout with his
trainer, Eddie Greeney. This proved
rather interesting, but everybody was
waiting for the crowning event of the
evening, the finish fight between the
| Barrier champion, Joe Goddard and Ed
| Smith, of Denver. 1t was fully 9.12
before the heavy weights made their
| appearance, Goddard accompanied by
Billy Madden, Jim Gibbons and
| George Dawson, and Smith attended
| by Pat Smith, Bat Masterson,
and Tom Allen. Goddard's weight was
! 1856 pounds and Smiths 1877. Goddard
was the first to enter the ring and
Smith quickly followed. Goddard
walked around the ring and his APP
pearance was such as to strike terror to
the heart of the beholder. Smith APP
peared unmoved and chatted freely
with his seconds. In the toss for cor.
ners Goddard got the one formerly oc-
cupied by Sullivan when defeated by
Corbett and also occupied by other
losers, and therefore considered un.
lucky. Some delay was caused by
a discussion arising about a plas-
ter on Goddard's hand which
eventually was removed and all was Sc.
rene Smith wore green trunks and
Goddard white tights. The difference
in the size of the men was noticeable,
Goddard being head taller than
Smith. In the first round the mer
were wary and at first slow, but soor
warmed up. Eighteen rounds were
fought and the advantages were about
evenly divided, but in the eighteenth
round Goddard was completely knocked
| out.

OLD BONES.
Eleven Skeletons Confront a Party
Of Workmen in a Cellar.
rhey We're Tearing Down the Old Render
vous of n Band of Horse-Thieves--A
Reminder OF the Days of the Knob
lock and Prather Families.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March ga sen.
.ational reminder of the days of the
Knoblock and Prather families, of Du.
bois county, was unearthed Wednesday
by John Flanagan, the present owner
of what still bears the name of Knob
lock Ranch" There were eight sons in
the two families, and years ago they
formed part of desperate gang of
horse thieves and robbers that infested
southern Indiana.
"KnobloclS Place" was the most pre-
tentious house in the country, being a
large two-story log house, which was
suffered to fall into decay after the
gang was broken up and fed the state.
The massive logs of which it was
made rotted partially away and
fell into a huge pile, and have
lain thus for years, a thicket
of underbrush growing up around
them. Flanagan had force of men
at work Thursday clearing the ground,
and when the debris was removed the
men began to take out the stone of
which the foundation was made. They
soon discovered that cellar had been
made under the floor and the heavy
logs which formed the ceiling were well
preserved. They were removed and the
cellar was seen to consist of three apart
ments.
In the corner of the first apartment
stood heavy, high, old-fashioned bed
stead, upon which lay two skeletons,
dressed in what appeared to be we'll
preserved clothing, though it fell to
dust when touched The skeletons
were of large size-a man and woman.
That of the man lay upon its back,
with arms by it's side while that of the
woman was in crouching attitude,
resting against the ad-board, with
brass candle-stick clasped in its
bony fingers. The sight made
the worllmen shudder and turn
away, only to be confronted by a
sight more gruesome in the adjoining
room. Here the cellar was found
scrupulously clean but for the mildew
and musty smell. Ranged along the
north and west sides were two long
benches made of split logs, on which
were nine skeletons, some of which had
partially fallen. All of these skeletons
were in a crumbling condition, but
they held together sufficiently to per-
nit removal to a couble of long coffins,
in which they were placed for burial
Thursday.
