Another preacher has gone
wrong in Idaho, says the Moscow
Star. Formal charges have Teen
preferred against Rev. Daniel
Gamble, affecting hi, character
as man and his usefulness as a
minister OF the gospel, in the
East Oregon presbytery, an a
committee has been appointed to
to take testimony in the case, to
be submitted at the October ses-
sion to the presbytery of East
Oregon, to be held at Pendleton
beginning October 8.
Rev. Gamble is accused of be-
ing a minister of the Presbyter-
ian faith. Then he is charged
with neglecting the means of
grace; that he neglects to attend
divine worship and refuses to
partake of the sacrament of the
Lords supper. He is also ac-
cused of the sin of drunkenness,
but particulars are not given.
He is likewise charged with
violating the Sabbath, in that he
permitted his wheat to be thresh-
ed on the Lords day. Then he
is accused of profanity, of taking
the name of the Lord in vain,
and this particular phrase, 80
help me God ~ is said to have
been a common expression. This
charge is signed by A. j. Mac
Donald, editor of the new Double
Standard.
The last accusation made
against Rev. Gamble charges
him with having failed to keep
faith with his fellow men, in
that, having been nominated and
elected to the Legislature and
having publicly and privately
pledged his word and honor that
he would vote for Hon. Willis
Sweet for United States senator,
he utterly and absolutely failed
to keep his promise,

A Nevada girl, in rummaging
through an old trunk, came
across a bunch of aged love let
ters written by her father to her
mother in their courtship days.
The daughter saw chance for
some fun and read them to her
mother, pretending they were of
recent date, substituting her own
name for that of her mother, and
that of a fine young man for that
of her father. The mother jump
ed up and down in her chair,
shifted, and forbid her daughter
to have anything to do with q
young man who would write such
disgusting stuff to a girl. When
the young lady handed the let
tiers to her mother to read the
house became SO still that they
could hear the grass sprout ting
in the back yard.

A Third Term-no, not for
Cleveland. And although he will
go cut one of thu most desrised
persons by the American PEOPLE
who ever occupied the presiden-
tial chair, it is not for any one,
however good, TO enjoy a third
term as rresid ent of this great
nation. But there are other
special reasons why Mr.. Cleve-
land will not enjoy that exalted
position. First To get into
the presidency, at all, he had to,
and did. pledge himself to the
most servile obedience to the
rich. Little did we comprehend
his words at the time, but time
gave a very lucid Interpretation.
He has kept his promis, with
them; and as steadily destroyed
the body of Americans. The
money power directs him-not
he the money power. They
have used him implicitly on all
occasions both with his pledges
and against his pie lges; and
they are wise enough to know
even if he were favorite with
the people, that a third term
nomination would be against
their control. twill be altogeth-
er unnecessary for him to decline
a further nomination. He went
into Office ignoring a second
term, and yet his record would
indicate pleasure in a fourth
term-not for you, Mr.. Cleve-
land.

We have learned that it is not
absolutely necessary to say to
others 1--WE don't want your
kind" It might be as well to
say: eff these theories, in your
estimation, are good, come and
join with US on fair scale, and
let us go forward to victory and
pational gladness." We have
also learned that in attempting
to carry every reform that could
be suggested by the most vision
airy, we have overloaded our
platform and our party. We
may have learned, at least we
should have done so by this
time, that by attempting to do
too much at one time, we have
tired and Disguised many true
and wise men who were with us
on the main issues; but who, on
account'of our extensive attitud-
es, have either neglected to vote
at all or, as last resort, voted
against us. There are a few
great evils that must be removed
first, and after that-all things
will come in their season. Hosts
of the Peoples Iarty see tie
weakness of the past and are
working for heroic remedy.
IT'S we'll We shall succeed.
But while we are willing to
make all reasonable changes,
many of our friends ask: what
signs are there that thu Ameri-
can people will join with us. One
great one is that the people who
placed the present administra-
ton in pcwer OF emily dencunce
the wrongs Ct their high EST OH
Gals against the Ieoll ard, as
openly, advocate the leading
principles of our party. Anoth-
er is that the paIec supporters
of the present administration and
the most of those of the Republi-
can party publish the most silly,
easily refute i falsehoods against
the Peoples party actions and
all others who are in line with
US, slowing, very conclusively,
that they feel the weak less OF
their position and tleir danger.
Brethren, the clouds are break
ing. The political parties of old
en- time are are no longer satisfi-
ed with each other. Men are
beginning to love party less and
country more. More AMI more
will our ranks he filed until final
victory. Take courage

SHOOTING AT CATS.
That Was the Only Disturbance
Created Monday Night.


Created Monday Night.
All was quiet and serene Monday
night.
Only one danger signal was sounded
during the night to disturb the peace
and dignity of the city.
The boys hold Mr.. Eugene Albea
responsible for this alarm. He was
shooting at some noisy, bad cats,
which were raising row in his back
yard, thereby preventing him from
enjoying his usual peaceful slumbers.
The cats dispersed-but none were
killed.
The shooting occurred about ,
o'clock that morning and the sound of
the pistol shots brought the Riflemen
and other officers out OF the armOry
in double quick time.
Besides the military company, enc
hundred special policemen were on
duty.
"Col. Calling" arrived from Char
lotte about 1870. The Winston train
was held at Greensboro until the train
from Charlotte arrived.
Mayor Gray telegraphed to Mayor
WeddingtOn Monday for the gun.The
latter replied that an order from the
Adjutant General of the State Guard
mist first be secured before the gun
could be sent. The Adjutant gave his
permission and the gun, with four
o'clock. The names of the gentlemen
who accompanied "Col. GatliDg" are
as follows: W. +. Moody, E. l..
Coghill, A. e. Moody and w. III.
Schroeder.
The guns capacity is seventeen hun
dred shots per minute. 1t will average
twelve hundred. a mob would be in
''hard luck" standing in front of such
a shooting iron, with one man pulling
the trigger. Only one bushel OF shells
are thrown out every minute it is in
operation.
When the train arrived in Greens
boro that night the report was given
out that big crowd of negroes had
congregated at the big trestle, one
mile below Salem, for the purpose of
capturing the gun when the train ar
rived at that point. The Charlotte
contingent say they loaded up for any
trouble that might arise. When the
train arrived at the bridge the re-
ported mob was not there. There
were only two darkies at the passenger
depot when the train pulled in. An
officer searched these, but found moth
ing like shooting iron. They were
allowed to go free.
Several colored people have
taken a peep" at "Col. Calling" One
was heard to ask friend:
Say; has you seen dat big gun ?"
mo-" was the reply.
81 tells you dat is a walking thing
and it will go after a whole lot of
niggers when you turn it loose"
WANTED TO COME TO WINSTON.
In speaking of the order received in
Charlotte from Winston, for the
formers Calling gun, the Observer
says:
capt. Franklin had applications all
| the evening from the different mem
bers of the companies in the city to
go to Winston and assist the militia
there to keep the peace of the city
and State.
Especial interest is felt by Char
lotte citizens in regard to the Win
ston trouble and it is hoped that
affairs will be adjusted without the
| loss of life"

THE MONEY WAS PAID.
Experience Of Winston Tobacconist
With q Chinaman.

The Southern Tobacco Journals
"Mixer" gets off the following:
"Chinamen have ways thai are
perculiar.' Mr.. Plugmaker, a Win
ston tobacco manufacturer, demanded
pay Of his Chinese laundryman for a
garment John had not returned. The
almond-eyed fellow was averse to
handing over the money, saying that
this particular garment had never
been sent to him; but he decided to do
so when a policeman was called in
and a neighbor, whom he had con-
suited, told him that Mr.. Plugmaker
was gentleman and would not make
such demand unless he was positive
that he was right.
"'Me payee,' said John, but first
me swearee you'll
HE explained that he would get
chicken, and that Mr.. Plugmaker
must cut off it's head, and if the blood
spurted away from the manufacturer
he was telling the truth and if it
spurted towards him he was guilty of
falsehOod and attempt to swindle.
Amused and curious Mr.. Plugmaker
told John to bring forth the fowl.
John produced chicken and a
keen-edged knife of strange pattern.
After an Incarnation and burning of
incense, he handed the tobacco man
the blade. Mr.. Plugmaker whacked
off the fowls head at single stroke,
and the blood spurted away from him.
"'Allee righteen exclaimed John,
with grin.
"And he promptly paid the money"

Serious Row in Davidson.

Sunday afternoon A. w. Smith and
Bob Smith, first cousins, got into
fight with Tom Curry, a rather pros
porous negro man at his still house
about five miles east of Lexington.
Curry was badly beaten and seriously
cut with a knife in half dozen
places. A stab in the left breast was
thought by his physicians would prove
fatal. A warrant was issued by
Squire X. Il. McRary and Sheriff
Leonard yesterday arrested A. W..
Smith, but the other defendant, Bob
Smith, has not been found. Late last
evening the committing magistrate re-
leased the one taken on bond of S400.
It is thought that the controversy
grew out of land suit between the
parties.

MURDER SECOND DECREE
THAT is THE VERDICT OF JURY
IN THE FUTILE CASE.
Judge Brown Thinks tho Verdict
Should Not Have Been Murder in
First Degree-Cousel Will Pro
badly Ask For New Trial.


After the reassembling of court
Monday afternoon, the stenographic
report Of the testimony in the futile
case was read to the jury, after which
Judge Brown delivered his charge to
the jury, stating at the outset that
the prisoner was indicted for the muir
der of M. M. Vickers and that under
the bill of Indictment the prisoner
may be convicted of murder in the
first degree, murder in the second
degree, manslaughter, or he may be
acquitted. The law governing such
cases was explicitly set forth and the
charge throughout was, of course, en-
tirely fair and impartial.
At the conclusion of the charge the
case was given to the jury and court
adjourned until Tuesday morning.
After Court opened Tuesday morning,
the Judge asked the Sheriff if any
thing had been heard from the jury.
The Sheriff replied that they had
agreed, whereupon the jury was sent
for and came into Court and, after
the usual formalities, rendered their
verdict, which was, Guilty of murder
in the second degree"
The Court stated to the jury that
it approved of not finding the prison
er guilty OF murder in the first
degree and that the jury had shown
conservative regard for the rights OF
the prisoner in the verdict rendered.
1t was thought that the prisoner
would he brought into Court tuesday
evening to receive sentence, but in
response to request OF his counsel the
time was deferred until Thursday
afternoon.
1t is rumored that the prisoners
counsel will make motion for a new
trial.
Tuttle's sentence can be for term
ranging from five to thirty years in
penitentiary. Public opinion appears
to be that Judge Brown will give him
twenty years.

A Strike May be Ordered.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Aug. 13.-
Miners on Loup Creek, in Fayette
county, are being urged to strike, but
as yet they have not done SO. They
are now paid 55 cents per car, which
operators claim holds not quite two
tons. Operators say that the trouble
is due to agitation by New River OPP
orators, as the vein on Loup Creek is
much thicker than that on New River
and at present prices both men and
employers make more in the former
field than in the latter, though Loup
Creek coal can be sold much cheaper.
1t is probable that strike will be
ordered this week.

Will Booze, of this city, ran into
the carriage of DIR. J. l.. Johnson, of
Union Cross, near Teaguetown, while
en- route to High Point, Sunday
morning, breaking out several spokes

reprimanded Booze for his reckless
driving, whereupon the latter threw a
beer bottle, which struck Miss Mary

was in the carriage with him, on the
forehead, cutting a cash about one
inch long. The wound is painful
one but not serious. Miss johnson is
a sister of Mrs. FL. w. Foltz. of Win

Booze has not been arrested. 1t is

ARGUMENT CONCLUDED.
JUDGE BROWN CHARGING JURY
In FUTILE CASE
The Speeches Made by Messrs. Settle,
Grogan, Glenn. and Boyd-Judee
Brown Asked jury not to Discuss
Case Until After lis Charge.

Case Until Alter his Charge,
In the Tuttle case. Saturday after
noon, Mr.. J. G. Buxton concluded his
strong argument in behalf of the
State and was followed by Mr. Thomas
Settle, for the defence. who began by
saying that the gravity of the charge
being Investigated, it's Importance to
the State and its still further i'm
portance to the prisoner at the bar,
was his excuse for trespassing upon
the time Of the jury in discussing the
evidence presented by the States wit
nesses. He spoke little more than
an hour and displayed great ingenuity
In his effort to weave web of plauSi
bility through his argument that the
prisoner had been guilty of no viola
tiOn of law throughout the occurrence
and that the killing was the result of
self-defence. Mr.. Settles speech was,
probably, as strong as could have been
made upon his side of the case
The next speech was, also, for the
prisoner and was made by MI. J. S.
Grogan, who argued self-defence and
ing which resulted in Vickers' death.
His theory was that Tuttle did not
have the pistol in either his hip or
front pocket, but that it was in an
inside coat pocket, or in his shirt, and
that during the scuffie the pistol fell
to the ground; that Dean and Tuttle
both were trying to secure it and that
both had hold of it when it was fired.
At the close of Mr.. Grogan's speech,
court adjourned until $3.50 o'clock
Monday morning.
TWO ABLE SPEECHES.
Two very strong speeches were made
in the Tuttle case Monday morning,
the first by Capt. r. B. Glenn, for the
State, and the second, and the last in
the case, by Col. Jas. E. Boyd.
Capt. Glenn emphasized the i'm
portance of the case to the jury, be-
cause it would be left to them to de-
termine the future veal or woe of the
prisoner at the bar. The evidence
was closely analysed and powerful
appeal made for conviction. At times
Capt. Glenn arose to heights of pa
thetic elOquence and throughout his
speech of more than an hour won the
close attention of jury and spectators.
Col. Boyd followed Capt. Glenn, in
a speech of about the same length,
and made skillful argument in be-
half of the prisoner, claiming that all
his actions in the affair were justifi
able. Lack Of space and time forbid
a more extended mention of these
closing speeches.
After Col. Boyd had finished, Judge
Brown cautioned the jury not to dis
cuss the case among themselves until
the charge had been delivered. After
which, Court adjourned until 4
O'Clock, about which time the Judge
began his charge: The case was
given to the jury Monday afternoon.

words to use: 1.-THE number of chill
dren there at present is 200, 103 girls
and 81 boys. These are fed, clothed,
educated and learned to work, the
total cost of maintenance being about
$4,000 year. OF this amount the
State gives $4,000, the Grand Lodge
of Masons So, 500, and the remainder is
derived from individual donations
and such tours as are now being made.
Since the establishment of the asylum
