ding and in Turn is Lynched.
RALEIGH, N. c., Feb. ga few nights
ago at a wedding in Allegheny county
there was large gathering. Among
those present was Daniel Slaughter, of
Carroll county, Virginia. just after the
ceremony had been performed Slaughter
walked near an old man, the uncle of
bride. The old man slapped Slaughter's
hand and asked il he thought he was
much OF man. Slaughter replied gruf11y
and cursed the old man. Thereupon he
was ordered to leave the house, but soon
returned. He was told by the brides
groom to sit down and keep quiet, while
the crowd was requested to stand back.
Suddenly Slaughter drew knife and
sprang at John Bart. stabbing him to
the heart. AS Barton fell dying Slaugh-
ter tried to again stab him, but the
bride seized his hand. She was cut in
the arm. Slaughter dashed for the
door. There he struck Ed. Long killing
hin with one stroke. He fed, but was
captured next morning two miles away.
He said he had killed the men because
he was being slapped in the face. The
feeling against him ran high and he
narrowly escaped immediate lynching.
He was taken to the Jail at little town of
Sparta.
A telegram to-day states that mob
attacked the jail. The iailor made a
stubborn resistance, warning the equally
determined mob that he would defend
Slaughter withhis life. When the doors
was smashed in he shot one of the mob,
but was overpowered. Slaughter was
taken out and hanged. This is the first
lynching in North Carolina in fourteen
months.

CLEVELAND DENIES THE REPORTS
Another Runor That HIS is Suffering From
A Serious Malady.

WASHINGTON, Feb. PA reporter of
the Southern Associated Press saw Pres
idend Cleveland this..evening at the Exec
utive Mansion regarding the reports
that have be en- circulated in some news
papers for the past two or three DAYS to
the effect that the President was suffer
ing from a serious malady and was about
to have an operation performed. Con-
corning the reports the President said
II have been engaged every day in my
Office on public business, and have every
day seen the people who called, Sena-
tors, Representative and others. Moth
ing would have been easier than to as
certain the absolute falsity of these re-
ports. l AIN forced to conclude that
there is an epidemic of mendacity ema
mating from the dull and stupid brains
of some of these correspondents.
"These men must be Influenced by a
desire to deceive the public or to annoy
those affected by their disreputa ole work
Those who read newspapers should un
derstand the extent to which their cred
ulity is calculated upon"
Mr. Cleveland never looked better in
his life than he did to day. He shook
hands with $50 people in the East Room
this afternoon.

The Wheelig Register publishes a
number of interviews with coal opera
tors, which shows that it is not the ops
orators, nor the miners who are kicking
against free coal but the railroad mon
opolies who carry the coal in many
instances buy it at the mines at their
own price and sell it in the markets for
all they can get. The transportion COM
panies fought the tariff bounty. not the
miners. All the tariff does for him is to
restrict the market for the product.
The new mills at Suffolk have started
up and given employment to quite a
number of hands. Plans for the knit
ting mill at Newport News have been
prepared and accepted, and the work of
erecting the building will commence
next month. All the stock was readily
taken. The contract for the Portsmouth
cotton factory was give n out during the
past week to local builders and the
machinery ordered. In this enterprise
100000 will be invested, and if success
full, the erection of another factory will
speedily follow.
