The COrOner's Jury Saws Up the Corpse
This Morning.
MUCH EXCITEMENT OVER 1T ALL
The Evidence Is Long and at the Hour
Of Going to Press There Is No End
Yet In Sight, and the Jury
Is, of Course, Weary
of This Kind of
Business.

Sandy Jones, young man from Per.
son county, was shot and killed by Way
land Rollins, last night, at about $3.50
o'clock, on East Main street, Durham, in
the vicinity known as Smoky Hollow, .
place that is infested with vile and falleI
women, and which is infected with mucl
that is repulsive to all. Mr.. Rollins is
special policeman Mr.. Jones, with tw,
brothers, had brought tobacco to th'
town.
The town naturally was shocked this
morning when the news was generally
spread, and the court house was packed
and jammed
The corpse was laid out and placed In
acOtlin in the mayors oflice-and as il
vas impossible for the crowd to be &C.
commOdated, during the examination of
the corpse by the coroner and Drs. Carr,
Manning and Cheatham, all but the jury
and Mr.. Fairbrother, DR.. Johnson's clerk,
we're excluded from the room.
A careful and intelligent examination
was made, the corpse being removed from
the coffin.
The idea in this careful examination
was to determine the probable position of
the victim and the murderer at the time
OF the shooting.
The jury was Il. X. Ferrell, Chas. w
Bennett Chas. T. Postley, J. B. Gates, Q
t. Rawls, J. S. Mesley.
The clothes which deceased wore at the
lime of meeting his death were intro
dlCed and close by examined.
The holes in the shirt appeared to in
acaie that the shooting had been done
At short range.

TEN YEARS. SERVICE
HE PASSES AWAY.

Having been identified with this
people for the past half score years,
our Mr.. W. F. Ellis last evening took
passage over the r. & D. r. r. for
the great cities of New York, Phila.
delphia and Baltimore fully armed
with the wants of our Durham trad
ing people dotted down in his ever
ready memorandum book, and it is
with great pride and pleasure that
we announce to our trade that we
will exhibit the grandest and largest
assortment OF Spring Goods ever
placed before the Durham trade.
1t is a fact not to be questioned
that our buyer is second to none
when the question of taste and
knowledge of the wants Of our trade
arise5-indeed be has made study
Of our peoples needs for the past ten
years, which is sufficient evidence of
his ability.
Here is an important fact we
would make known, viz: We buy Of
the largest and best-known houses
in the country and discount ali bills
in ten days, which is a net saving
of : TO 10 per cent. Our facilities
for conducting business is unques-
toned.
Only a few days to wait, then
comes the grand exhibit of Spring
Dress Goods, Silks, Challies, Wash
Fabrics of all descriptions, Embroid-
cries, Laces and White Goods, etc.

AZ THE COURT HOUSE.

What Was Seen just Before the Case
Opened This Afternoon.
The court house was filled by o'clock,
and all were anxious to hear the case
begin.
Rollins, the accused murderer of Jones,
sat on the right, in the custody of Officer
Cheek.
His attorney, Parker, came in about
ten minutes till 2. They had brief con-
sultation, and Parker took his seat to the
left of the aisle-talking on other SUBJ
jects with some of the citizens who were
present.
The jury came along, Rawls and Post
ley being the last in.
DR.. Johnson took the stand-which is
now pulpit, and upon which is written
the words, preach the Truth" The
coroner very quickly gave his crowd
easiness by saying that he did not pro-
pose to preach.
The jury was called, and all responded
present
Then the case commenced.
Nan White, Carter Williams, w. G..
Wilson, A. A. Sears and r. II. Barbee
were absent, and they were sent after,
though all had been summoned.

This stopped the business. Then
came the witnesses.
Other witnesses called by state were
VIII Mccullough, John Wheeley, Char

Albert Bawden. These were SWORD.
Sears came in late and was sworn.
Mr.. Parker said This was not a trial,
it was simply a matter of investigation.
Rollins was not being tried; he simply
wanted to find out what was going on.
The coroner said that he did not know
that it was a trial.
: Fuller said that coroner's jury was
simply TO find out who had killed man,
that the coroner was the judge and that
he could examine any of these witnesses.
If the lawyers on the other side wanted
other witnesses, then let them have
them.

WAsHINGToNs CENTENNIAL.

On Monday the city of Washington
celebrated the centennial of the first Ma
tional event which occurred within her
borders-the laying of the cornerstone
of the Capitol on September IS, 1893.
The ceremonies on that occasion were
directed by the officials of the Alexan-
dria Masonic Lodge, President Wash
ington assisting upon the invitation of
the Master of the lodge. Some of the
regalia which Washington wore on that
occasion was made by the wife of
Lafayette, and it, together with the i'm
plements of the craft used to lay the
cornerstone, are still in possession of
the lodge. An invitation to partici pate
in the exercises had been de-
clined by the lodge.
The original structure of the capitol,
which has since been added to from
time to time, was the production of
Stephen Hallet, a Frenchman, and i'm
proved by William Thornton, an English
man, and lively quarrel they had over
the authorship of the plans. An Eng
lish architect of the name of Latrobe,
succeeded the designers, and it was un'

VERMONT BUTTER AHEAD.

Hon. Henry NJ. Arms of Springfield,
president of the Vermont Dairymen's
Association, who has had charge of the
Vermont butter exhibit at the Worlds
Fair, passed through here to-day, says
the St. Albans Messenger, Tuesday, on
his way home. He was much elated
over the position awarded Vermont
creamery butter, it scoring two per cent.
higher than any other creamery product
exhibited. That from the famous Green
Mountain stock farm at West Randolph,
where was made the butter which took
the first premium gold medal at the Paris
Exposition, scored 9S.5, and the product
of the Franklin County Creamery scored
9S. This is a splendid showing for this lat
ter institution, as the MoultOn Brothers,
of the Green Mountain stock farm, have
a worldwide fame because of the large
herd of thoroughbred Jerseys from
which the milk comes to make their
prize butter. The Vermont farmers
have every reason to feel well satisfied
with the awards of premiums at the
Fair and Franklin County people, es-
pecially, should not complain, for they
brought home three of the premiums for
Morgan horses and now their Creamery
comes within one half of one one per
cent of being on level with the most
famous butter in the world.

der him that the building was nearly
completed when the British burned it in
the raid on Washington. He rebuilt it,
and then Architect Bulfnch of Boston
took hold, and in 1927 the model struct-
ure was reported finished at a cost of 81
433, ,314, perhaps ten per cent. of the
total cost of the structure of to-day.
A second cornerstone laying occurred
in 1851, when, on July 4, President Fill
more presiding, the firststOne in the two
new wings was laid, and Daniel Webster
delivered an address. Thomas U. Wal
ter of Philadelphia designed the mag
nificent dome, which was subsequently
constructed, and the building was added
to until it reached its present completed
condition. DIR. Edward Clark is the
present architect, and under him the
grounds and terraces have been finished.
By resolution of Congress the day
was holiday in the District of
Columbia, and all public business was
suspended. There was procession pre-
ceeding the exercises, which were held
on the east front, where the Presidents
of the United States deliver their inaug-
ural addresses. The route OF the parade
was the same as taken by President
George Washington 100 years ago, from
the front of the State, War and Navy
buildings on Seventeenth street, via
Pennsylvania avenue, to the capitol.
The exercises began at 2 o'clock, in
the presence of Congress, National and
District officials, and a throng of specta-
tors, which filled the plaza. President
Cleveland presided. The programme
was an elaborate affair, the instrument
al music being furnished by the Marine
band, and the vocal by chorus of 1000
voices

ONE ON THE MESSENGER.

The St. Adams Messenger makes this
very interesting announcement:
"The following Vermonters have been
granted pensions; Henry ID. Dunbar OF
North Hartland, piston valve; Carl j.
and G. w. Giddings of Rutland, guard
and reflector: Warren r. Smith of St
Johnsbury, attachment of dividers."
If the causes of disability as stated by
the Messenger are correct, then fresh
reason is given for the overhauling of
pension rolls. In the case of Mr.. Dunbar
the disability for which a pension is
granted is alleged to be "piston valve"
This is rather indefinite, and may and
NAV not be all right. But if piston valve
has become chronic and was contracted
in the service, then it is all proper
enough. Otherwise not. In the case of
Messrs. Giddings, their affection is said
to be located in the guard and retiec-
tor" The extent and duration is not
stated, but probably the proof was sufti-
cient. But there are people who would
like to know how the guard and reflector
became diseased. Whether by contact
with cOmmissary whiskey, a mule, or
otherwise. 1t may be all right, but it is
altogether too indefinite. But the case
of Mr.. Smith is plainly the worst, and no
one with spark of humanity can object
to Mr.. Smith being pensioned to the full
extent of the law. Any trouble with
ones dividers is bad enough, aud case
that cries for pity, but when the trouble
is complicated by attachment, then the
hardest heart should melt. Trouble
with piston valve or guard and reflector
is bad enough, goodness knows, but
think of man suffering from attached
dividers! Let the good work go on

The parliament of Religions" at Chi
cago has called out the heather opinion
of Christianity in plain words, and said
opinion is not very complimentary eth
er. This was to have been expected, and
many fail to see what good it will all do,
even when they do not think, with some
of us, that to enter the arena at all is to
forfeit in many respects Christianity S
exclusive claim of its Divine founder.
Bishop John P. NewaI, of Omaha, Neb.,
delivered sermon Sunday before large
audience at Trinity Methodist church in
New Albany, Ind, in answer to the dis
course delivered at Chicago few days
ago by a learned Buddhist, whose argu-
ments were characterized by Bishop
Newman as an insult to the Christian
and intelligent people of America. The
preacher reviewed the life and teachings
of Buddha, and said that Buddhism has
given to the world no helpful literature,
no system of free government, no Social
system and no heroic virtues. Out of
this religion has come thuggery, a cOndi-
ton that permits its enthusiast TO be-
come robbers, assassins, and thieves.
After speaking briefly of other religions,
Bishop Newman contrasted them with
that of Christ and showed the results of
each, morally, socially, and nationally.

President Cleveland, as has been an
ticipated, has appointed William B.
Hornblower of New York, to the vacan-
cy on the bench of the United States Su-
preme court caused by the death of As
sociate Justice Samuel BlatchfOrd. AL
though the appointment falls short, says
the Herald, of the Harrison standard, it
is away ahead of any similar one made
by Mr.. Cleveland during his former ad-
ministration. While Mr.. Hornblower
has had no judicial experience, he is a
very able lawyer and has the qualities
which go to make up a judicial mind.
He has especially natural aptitude for
constitutional subjects. His father was
the late chief justice of New Jersey,
while his grandfather was a leading law
yer. Mr.. Hornblower was also related
by marriage to the late Justice Bradley.
