The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1894-08-23

Mr.. Moody in an open letter said
that the Democrats of this State in
convention assembled did not en-
dOrse the only President the party
has had since the war. Mr.. J. 2.
Caldwell, who was chairman of the
committee on platform, comes for
ward to correct Mr.. Moody. At the
same time we hear some other Demo
Gratis rejoicing that the State conven-
ton refused to endorse the President.
What a miserable set these cuckoo
machine Democrats are. They write
a National platform that they have
been trying to copstrue and explain
ever since. Now they write State
platform, and at once they are forced
to begin to explain. One part of
them says it means one thing, and
another set says it means something
else. How pitiable. They are eth
er incompetent of saying in plain
language what they do mean, or else
they are set of designing tricksters
trying to tri1e with the credulity of
the public. You would not trust such
men to manage your private bust
ness, and certainly you can not trust
them to manage your public business.

CORRESPONDENCE VITA JUDGE CON

CORRESPONDENCE VITA JUDGE CON |
NOR.
In another column will be found |
correspondence with eX-Judge Con
nor. The letter of Judge Common to
the Raleigh News q Observer under
date of August 2nd was entirely sat
isfactory to THE CAUCASIAN and
hence there was nothing in 1t to call
forth this correspondence as far as
we were concerned, had it not been
that In several cases good men plac-
ed different constructions on it. This
was not because the letter was not
| plain, but because of different con
cepti0n as to the requisites fol
non-partlsan judiciary under the
present application Of that principle.
| When great party in convention
assembled declares for II non parti-
san judiciary, not an expedient for
one campaign, but as the law of the
party, in such II resolution as the
Peoples party passed on August LIST
and proceeds to select and name the
men from different political parties
who measure up to the high stand
ard laid down, and when that party
goes further and decares that these
men were named without their knowl-
edge or consent, then if the party
meant what it said there are but two
reasons to our mind that could jus ii
fly that party in changing its mind
and voting for different men. First,
if any of the men named were to say
that they were opposed to the prin,
clple of a non-partisan judiciary,
then that would le a confession
from such person to the world that
the high esteem we held for him was
misplaced. Second, If any of the
men named were to frankly state
that there were business or personal
reasons which would force them to
decline to serve even if nominated
and elected by their respective par
ties, then, of course, we should have
due regard for the personal interests
of one for whom we held such high
regard. But, for any other reasons
besides the above. it seems to US
that the Peoples party would be
simply making itself ridiculous to
: say to the world that we had chang.
} ed our minds ABOUT these men and
the principles we profess to stand
upon,
, The letters of Judge Common should
be entirely satisfactory to every mar
i who favors a non-partisan judiciary

Cleveland said the Senate tariff bill
was. This bill has been accepted
by vote of 1872 to lO5 without the
dotting of an 81 or the crossing of
"a "t.' ga monument of perfidy and
dishonor": That is good. 1t is a
terSe and correct deception of the

Illegal Selections of Public Lands in
Spokane District.

Spokane District.
OLYMPIA, Jan. 22.-Land Commits
sioner Forest received the following
from the commissioner of the general
land office regarding land selections in
Spokane district: Lists 1, ? and 3,
selections for the agricultural college,
are held by the department to be in
valid for the reason that the selections
desired are not in legal subdivisions of
not less than one quarter section, but
are in many instances made up in 40
and 80 acre tracts. The secretary of
the interior rendered a decision that
the selections made under the provis-
ions of sections 12 and 16 of the act of
February %, 1889, must be in legal
subdivisions of not less than one-quarter
section.
The selection for the agricultural
college embraced in the lists mentioned
can not be approved until new lists are
made in accordance with the law and
substitution for those now on file. The
other lists, and 2, selection for chart
table, penal and reformatory institu
tions, and list 2 of the selection fol-
public buildings, are free from the
above mentioned objections, and will be
submitted to the secretary of the in
terror for approval at any early date.

HOSPITAL ROBBED.
Prominent Chicago Bushes Man Under
Serious Charges.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-George NJ. Bogue,
one OF the most prominent business men
of Chicago, has been accused of the
Misrepresentation of about SIS, 600 of the
funds OF the Presbyterian hospital, of
which institution he was president. Mr..
Bogue admits that there is some entan.
clement with the hospital but SAYS any
discrepancy will be made up immedi-
ately. Last summer he made an assign
ment and withdrew from the big real
estate firm of Bogue & Co., and it is
said that the misplacing of the hospital
funds was the result of his financial en-
barrassment. Among the transactions
developed regarding the sale of Rev
Anderson's home, which was The subie
of suppressed lawsuit, show that Mr.
Bogue paid DR.. Anderson $4,000 or
$4,000 TO avoid going into court over
the matter. Another peculiar deal oc-
Cured about two years ago. Henry A.
Phipps, Of Pnipps, Carnegie & Co,
Pittsburg, sent to Bogue a check for
$4,000 to take up note given for the
purchase of acre property. Mr.. Phipps
came here himself to find, it is said, that
only $4,000 had been paid of SIS, 900 sent
on, and that Mr.. Bogue was using the
balance. Mr., Bogue in an interview
explains that this matter was adjust
ed" The finance committee of the hos.
pital is making an investigation, but the
institutions officials refuse to talk re-
garding the probable outcome of the
affair.

A RACE FOR BULLION.
Deputy sherifss outwitted by Montana
Mining Man.
AFFAIR

Deputy sheriiss Outwitted by Montana
Mining Man.
GREAT FALLS, Jan. 2O.-Gold bullion
valued at $685. in the possession of
r. A. Ammon, secretary of the Gilt
Edge Mining Company of Mandan, and
a race across $50 miles of country to
this city ahead of several deputy sher-
IFS armed with Winchesters, makes a
big sensation here.
Several days ago Ammon, who is
New York Lawyer, went to Gilt Edge
to pay off the miners. He was not pre-
pared to pay off the merchants of Lewis
town, WHO had furnished supplies, and
they took measures to seize the bullion
Ammon was too sly for them. He loaded
it and started for Great Falls. Then
came race. One deputy sheriff over
took the flying party at Stanford, but
Ammon bluffed him off by showing him
bill of sale. Another came up at Gsy-
ser, and pulling a gun swore he would
have the gold or dead driver, but was
finally given the slip. AT Arlington,
40 miles out, Fergus county authorities
got possession of the bullion, but the
writ of attachment would not hold in
this county, so the precious metal was
at last rushed in and Immediately coA.
verted into cash at the Cascade bank
Today Deputy Sheriff Scott of Fergus
arrived with a writ of attachment
against Secretary Ammon, President T.
E. Collins and Director J. T. Arlington
as officers of the company. Ammon is
wealthy and declares that he now has
men on the way from New York who
stand ready to put 100000 into the
mine, and swears that if the deal fall:
through he will fight these ''Fergu:
county men until there is not hair or
his head or leg on his body"

Florida's Governor Has Sent Troops
to Jacksonville.
THE EXCITEMENT GROWS
The Authorities Think the Sight of the
Troops win Prevent the Men From
Entering the Ring.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 29.-After a
long confab with Mitchell today at his
training quarters, Referee Kelly return
ed, convinced that Mitchell wants to
fight and is not suffering from asprained
ankle. Mitchell offered to leave the
whole matter of the check to decision
of Kelly, just as Corbett had already
done. A special meeting of the club
was held tonight and it was unanimously
voted TO comply with Kelly's require
ment to place $4,000 in has hands by
noon tomorrow.
Late this afternoon a bill was filed in
the circuit court praying for an injunc
tion restraining the sheriff from inter
fering with the proposed exhibition and
from preventing any person entering
the grounds, etc. Notice was served
upon Sheriff Broward Action was be-
gun soon after the bill was filed and
hearing will be had before Judge Call
tomorrow.
Mayor Fletcher declared tonight that
the city has passed an ordinance per-
hitting such contests and had accepted
money for a license. Under these cir
cumstances he believed it the duty of
the city to protect the club and fighters
as far as it can. 1--WE will allow the
men to proceed, but will not protect
them if the state or county stops them.
We are no more bound to protect the
Duval club, simply because it has law
full license, than we are bound to pro-
tect and guarantee success to a saloon
keeper CT any other branch of business
for which license has been granted"
Adjutant General Houston arrived
at Jacksonville this afternoon to make
arrangements for quartering a com.
pany of the second battalion which will
arrive tomorrow. The men will be
housed within the armory here. Gen
eral Houston said as ne was sent tc
Jacksonville to prevent the fight, he
proposed to do SO and would use every
means in his power TO effect his pur
pose. Il am acting under instruction:
from Governor Mitchell" said he, "ant
| will carry them out to the letter
General Houston does NOT anticipate
any trouble in preventing the battle
and evidently thinks the sight of the
troops will be sufficient to deter thu
men from entering the ring.

Mrs. harmon Acquitted of the Charge
of Unlawful Capitalization.
JURY OUT FIVE MINUTES
The Trial at Wallace Caused a Sensation
and the Courtroom Was Packed
With Spectators.

WALLACE, Idaho, Jan. 2O.-The reign
ing sensation In Wallace this week was
a case In Judge Angels court, which
was brought to a conclusion this even
ing at 4 O'Clock. Last Saturday Harry
harmon and his wife, Amanda Barmon,
were arrested on complaint of John w.
Funk, charged with unlawful cohabita-
tion. AS Mr.. and Mrs. Barmon are
both well-known residents of Wallace,
where they have lived the past four
years, this caused something of SEN
sation, which was still further height
ened by the fact that Mr.. harmon
pleaded guilty to the charge Judge
Lichtenstein, before whom the case was
brought, fined Harry Barmon $50 and
costs, but Mrs. Barmon took a change
of venue to Judge Angels court where
she pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The state was represented by w. A.
Jones, and Judge Alex Mayhem de-
Tended Mrs. Barmon. Harry Barmon
testified that he was never married to
the defendant, but that they had been
living together as man and wife since
1887, at which time he was 27 years old
and she was IA.
On the contrary, Mrs. Barmon's evil
dence showed that they were legally
married by justice of the peace near
Waterfowl, Oak, in 1886, when she was
less than IA years old, and that they
had lived together as man and wife
since that time. She testified further
that her husband has been in the habit
of beating her for several years, and
that she left him on January 4, 1894,
after receiving an unusually severe
whipping at his hands.
The case was tried by jury of rep
resentative men, and awakened an
extraordinary degree of interest. Judge
Angels courtroom on Bank street was
found to be entirely too small for the
the spectators, and today the proceed.
ings were continued in Jamesons hall
The case was given to the jury at 4 p.
m. and FIVE minutes later a verdict OF
mot guilty" was returned. This was
received with the widest enthusiasm
by the immense audience assembled for
that purpose.
1t is the general belief that the whole
proceeding was the result of a conspi
racy concocted to prevent Mrs. Bar.
mon from obtaining share of the
community property in case of the sue
cessful Issue of suit for divorce which
she was aboutsto institute. Funk, who
instituted the prosecution, was given tc
understand yesterday that his presence
was distasteful to this community, AND
is supposed to have left during the
night, as he has not materialized today

Justice Burgess Evidently Thinks the
WalIa Walla Tanker Guilty.
WALLAWALLA, Jan 22-The preliminary
hearing of ]. X. Edmiston, president of
the Walla Walla Savings bank, charged
with the embezzlement of 100000 of
the banks funds, came up before Justice
Burgess and defendant was bound over
in the sum of $4,000. Burgess is the
Justice who, when Edminston asked for
the postponement of his examination,
said 81 fix your bond at $4,000, S2O,
900 for your crime and $50 900 for the
money you have stolen" before he had
heard word of the evidence. Today
Edmiston's attorneys moved for a
change of venue, on the ground that
the court was prejudiced, but it was
denied by Burgess. The defense
offered no evidence today. A petition
to the county commissioners is being
circulated, asking them to employ adj
ditional legal talent to assist in the
prosecution. Edmiston was committed
to the county gail, and will make no
effort to give bail.

Armstrong, the adopted son of the IA

asked the government for his rights as
an adopted Chippewa, and has applied
for an allotment on the Radcliffe lands.
1t was at the treaty of 1854 that Chief
Buffalo adopted Mr.. Armstrong, and he

the government by applying for allot-
ment as an adopted Chippewa.

gone to Columbus to introduce queer
measure in the legislature. 1t provides
for the abolition of the Abrahamic rite

cruel and unnecessary and that it is a
relic of barbarism not compatible with
the civilization of today. The doctor
holds that no religion can promote such
cruelty to infants and hope to be pro-
tected in it by the law. He proposes a
severe penalty for the performance Of
the rite, the violator to be prosecuted
under the section prohibiting cruelty to
children.

dollars in silver and took patent lead
pencil, which latter circumstance was
their undoing. 1t was found on one of
them when arrested. They wore masks
and were not identified otherwise. Four

40 years in the penitentiarY, and train
robber is now awaiting sentence of
death. One other highwayman was
caught here and sent back to the Colo

TOOK A NEEDLE FROM HIS BODY.
The Man Had Carried 1t Around for
Eighteen Years.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 22.-Several days
ago, while Fred Baur, expert machinist
at the Big Four shops at Brightwood,
was scufiing with fellow workman,
he felt sharp, singing pain in his
breast, which continued TO increase in
intensity. His physicians attributed
the cause to a foreign substance and he
underwent a surgical operation, which
uncovered crochet needle over three
inches long, with the point broken off.
The needle is supposed to have entered
his body while he was very young, over
eighteen years ago. 1t was the first
time that it had ever troubled him and
the first that he ever knew of its
presence
