BACK FROM THE EAST.
Banker Belcher Tells of Good Times
 for Arizona.


 Frank s. Belcher, president of the Phoenix National bank, is back from trip of few weeks, embracing visits to Chicago, Detroit and other eastern cit ies, and will now settle himself into the harness for the pressure of the winter business.
 MT. Belcher, though but a recent conner to Arizona, is most eloquent in his advocacy of Arizona and most ener. getic toward the upbuilding of the we'll fare of his chosen home. As expected of him, during this eastern trip he has done good work for Arizona and, as a single instance, has induced a Scotch syndicate with available cash reaching up into the hundreds of thousands of dollars to look toward Phoenix as safe and lucrative field for investment. In the cities and towns of the east, he states. there is keenest interest in the south west, with especial reference to the making of homes upon irrigated lands, and every railway office Is be- sieged with demands for printed descriptive matter and with inquiries respecting routes and cost of traaspor- tatlon westward. The banker believes the coming winter will witness heavy move ment of population into this valley and will heartily join in the prepara- tons for the reception of the multitude.

TEXANS WANT THE FIGHT.
So Says Mrs. Culberson, Wife of the
 Governor.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-"If Texas wants a prise fight, let them have it, I say," said Mrs Charles A. Culberson, before leaving Chicago yesterday for Texas Mrs. Culberson is the wife of Governor Culberson, of Texas, and with her mother, Mrs. Harris, has been north for the summer.
 What is the use in Charles work ing himself to death to prevent some thing the whole state wants?" contin- ued Mrs. Culberson. "At least nine men out of every ten in Texas want the prize fight and after all he was elected to carry out the will of the people and the people want the fight. I do not care what they say they want, they would every one go to it''

Durrant'S Counsel on a
 New Tack.
A Sensation Sprung by One of
 the Jury.
Approached on the Case by Secre- tary Mccoy of the
 Y. M. c. A.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1-After gathering up few ragged ends of tes- timony left over from last week the defense in the Durrant case this morn ing began the building of an alibi for the young medical student from April 4 to April f2, inclusive. The purpose of the alibi is to impeach the testi- mony of Pawnbroker Oppenheim and of w. J. Phillips, who testified that some time between April 3 and April 12 Durrant tried to pawn Blanche La mont's ring at Oppenheim's store.
 During the course of the testimony which covered Durrant's movements on April 4 and 5, struggle was pre- cipitated by District Attorney Barnes, who again challenged the reliability of the roll call book at Cooper medical college. The arguments ended in a victory for the defense so far as the question before the court was con cerned, as Judge Murphy sustained an objection to the question propounded by himself to the witness and cut off discussion.
 The trial began this morning with a sensation which was quite as uneX- pected to the prosecution as to the de- fense. Juror I. J. Truman informed the court that last Thursday during the noon recess of court he was ap- preached by H. J. Mccoy, general sec retary of the Young Mems Christian association, who endeavored to engage him in conversation on the subject of the trial. If you don't hang Dur rant" said Mccoy to the juror, i've will hang you"
 The court said the offense bordered strongly on a crime, and cited Mccoy to appear in court at noon October and show cause why he should not be punished for contempt

IN MEMORIAL.

Died at the residence of her hus-
band, near Scotland Neck, March 2Sth,
1895, Elizabeth, daughter of Mr.. NJ .
D. Allsbrook and beloved wife of ]. r.
Davis, aged AZ years.
For several months previous to her
death she suffered with what seemed
and cough, but the severe coughing
caused an inflammation of her throat
which baffled several of the most skill
ed physicians. Her suferings were
intense but the patience, christian for
titude and and perfect resignation to
the will OF God with which she bore
it all, were indeed remarkable, and
with the poet we can truly say,
"Jesus can make dying bed
Soft as downy pillows are
She would sometimes say Il hate to
leave poor Tommie 50 lonely but l am
no pleasure to him now and he has
done all for me that mortal man can
do" which indeed he did for l never
saw more devoted and untiring hus-
band.
Deceased was a consistent member
of the Primitive Baptist church at Ke-
hukee and leaves an aged father, four
brothers, three sisters and heart-broken
husband to mourn their loss which we
believe Is her gain. Her remains were
inferred in the church yard near where
she loved so much to worship, there to
await the resurrection morn.

Mr.. MILLS AND THE ORPHANS.
One Hundred Dollars for the Or
phanagc.

On last Thursday Mr. J. H. Mills,
superintendent Of the Baptist Orphan
age at Ihomasyille, visited Scotland
Neck with class Of orphans. AT
night he gave a concert in the Baptist
church. There was an immense au-
dience- The main building was pack
ed and the eastern and western annexes
were also we'll filed
The exercises were opened by the
reading Of the scriptures by Rev. Il, T.
Nann, pastor Of the church, who turn
ed the meeting over to Mr. Mills.
In opening the exercises Mr.. Mills
referred to a visit which he made to
| Scotland Neck with a class of orphans
| nineteen years ago. He was then SUI
perintendent of the Orphan Asylum at
Oxford He mentioned by name some
Of the orphans that were here with
him then, and said they are doing well
and are now useful men and women.
Then, he said, there was only one Or
phan house in the State, now there are
seven, and preparations will soon be
made to build more
Mr.. Mills spoke feelingly and en-
couragingly of the work OF caring for
the orphans. OF Thomasville Orphan
age, he said that they need many
things that they have not, and among
the pressing needs is steam engine to
furnish power to do many things which
the orphans are not strong enough to
do. He said when he left the orphan
he told the treasurer that he was not
going to return until he collected mon
ey enough to buy steam engine.
The exercises of the evening consist
ed of songs and recitations and dia-
logues by the orphans. As dozen
homeless little ones, nine little girls and
three little boys, stood up in row in
front of the pulpit to sing, the hearts
of the great audience beat faster in
sympathy with them in their want of
parents to love and care for them
Their singing was very pretty and
their recitations and dialogues were
well chosen and well rendered The
exercises did them great credit and
spoke we'll for their training The
whlstling of the boys in "Ho Farm
ers" was especially good and elected
marked attention and approval by the
audience. The little girls sang beautl-
fully and their recitations were we'll
rendered. The entertainment was quite
creditable to the orphans and the man
ager.
At the close of the exercises Mr..
Nann asked Mr.. w. A. Dunn to take a
collection. Mr.. Dunn came forward
and in his own peculiar and handsome
style he presented the claims of the Or
phanage He asked for one hundred
dollars and was not long in raising the
amount.
Mr.. Mills left for Warrenton Friday
where he went to give a like
FRIDAY night. He said |
the people of Scotland Neck are al
ways quite liberal.
