Two Hro.hers Execute d.

RALEIGH, n. c., July 13.-Two
brothers, Tom and Calvin Coley, white
men, aged 20 and 90, were hanged today
at Louisburg, the execution being pri'
Yate. The rope used to hang Calvin
had been used on seven prior occasions
during the last ten years.
The condemned men were unable to
read or write, had never been to school
nor inside of any church. They re-
fused to make any statement but lndl-
Gated that they had not intended to
commit murder. Two ministers visited
them in the Jail, and they expressed
the hope of being forgiven for their
sins.
In Juns, 1892, these men and Charles
Tucker, a Jewish peddler, met at the
house of two negro women in Franklin
county, n. c., and all drank. Calvin
Colev melted his brother, and they kill
ed Tucker with all axe and carried bis
body into a neighboring thicket and
covered it with brush. Finding IA his
pack S169, they went to Norfolk.
4 year afterwards the crime was dis
covered, the entire party was arrested,
the women turned States evidence
and the men were convicted. An I'M
mense crowG gathered around the jail
today to see the execution, which, how
ever, was strictly private. The men
met their fate without emotion. The
neck of Tom was broken by the fall;
Calvin died in eighteen minutes OF
Strangulatlon.

About one mile from WestVille large

the approach of the train bearing thel
mMtla began Warlike demonstrations.
Several pistol shots were fired at the
soldiers, who returned the fire, shooting
over the heads OF The mob from the
train, intending to s5are them. Miss
ClaraJame, the II year old daughter
Of Jonas James, Vas standing in the
door way of her home. A bullet struck
her Just below the right breastand she
died almost instantly. Mrs. Michael
Glennan, a widow, standing IN her own

Troops Ditched.

SACRAMENTO, July 1.-THE first
train to leave sacramento with troops
was ditched ona trestle eight miles
from Washington, Yolo county. The
wrecked train was bound for San Fran
cisco. Regular troops were stationed
on the engine and upon each car. Re
ports differ, one Is that fish plates had
been removed from the rails, allowing
them to spread, and another is that
the timbers Of a trestle had been sawed
nearly through causing it to collapse
under the weight of the train. The
engine and four cars went down.
There was no shooting at the train as
first reported. The killed are Engineer
Clarke ald priyates Burns, Lubbarden
and Clarke. Private Dugan lost both
arms and is likely to die. All belonged
to battery L, Fifth Artillery. Private
Clarke was drowned. The others were
crushed in the wreck. Another pri-
yate named Smith is missing. The
disaster occurred only a short distance
from Sacramento. Two companies of
cavalry thoroughly skirmished the vi
cinity afterwards but made no captures
and met with no resistance. The train
was brought back to Sacramento.

policy for $5OOO in the Travellers life in- surance company of Hartford, and the policy provided that in case of suicide, whether the victim were sane or insane, the company would not be liable for the sum named. Dr Robbins accidentally shot himself in the foot, the wound brought on lockjaw, and in a paroxysm of pain he cut his throat and died. The company contested payment and the low CT courts held that the accident to the foot was the primary cause of death and the throat-cutting only an intervening cause. This view is upheld by the Court of Appeals.

We started small in store down the street, with but little floor space, but with our popular price selling we com menced to grow; first it was the big store of w. B. Hall & Co.-surely that would be large enough-but no, we had only been in the store about a month when it was too small. The only re- source was the Fairfield avenue store for cloak room, where the ladies have found such fine selection of garments, this season, and so many have come that we found our accommodations far too small. This would not do, and the ques- tion was where to look for more room. At last we find by taking the two floors above we have salesroom, 50x25 feet, where we can display our fine line of Tea Gowns, Wrappers and Children's cloaks, and the above rooms for our repairing apartment.

TO SOLVE THE NEGRO ouEsrIt

TO SOLVE THE NEGRO QUESTION.
 The lecture given at Pequot auditori- um, last evening, was treat seldom en- oyed by any audience. John Temple Graves held his audience for one hour and half in rapt attention, speaking on '.The Negro of the South" Mr Graves was graceful in manner, fluent in speech and showed a rare command of language. His theory of settling the vexed question of ssWhat to do with the negroes" was novel t6 many who heard it for the first time. He proposed that the government should give the colored people a state of their own. taken from the public lands in which all offices should be filled by their own people, in which state they should vote, and in no other. No white man could be eligible to any office there, neither could they vote or be eligible to any office there, neither could they vote or be eligible to any office in any other state.
