Of putting the pieces together would be no
small one This particular kind Of work,
however, has become familiar, owing to the
growing popularity of dynamite among
robbers. Many similar consignments of
blown-up money have been received within
the last few months.
Mrs. Brown Is equally well acquainted
with the work Of the puppy which gets
chew at the family wad: also with the
results accomplished by the omnivorOus
goat and the almost equally indiscriminate
baby. half-digested roll of bills may be

The stove AS the Family Safe.
However, these causes of destructive &C

season with the stove-particularly the
parlor stove-in which people will persist in
hcarding their cash, considering 1t more
safe than the bank. Somebody. ignorant or
forgetful Of the presence of the precious
contents, lights the stove. and up go the
household savings in smoke. This is usual
1y final. 1t is rarely that the stove gives up
anything that can be redeemed, though
people often send in small packages of I'M

Counterfeit Fractional Currency.
A good deal of counterfeit fractional cur

lucky and Tennessee. During war times
and subsequently that part of the country
was flooded with bogus money of this kind.
OF late the hard times have compelled peo-
pie to hunt up old keepsakes and lucky
money in cracked teapots and other such
hiding places, and a good deal of fractional
currency, good and bad, has thus been

The Value of Old Fractional Currency.
Some issues and denominations of the old
fractional currency are worth more than

such pieces are not apt to find their way
to the macerating mill at the Treasury De-

clerks at the banks. Sometimes it may

John Morgan, an ex convict, who was
full of the 'bowery's best "beJV "tij
Stephen Eaton has since the war been
"a wood cutter by trade, and has been
considered a man who attended to his
own business. Last night about, s
O'Clock, as hewas passing in front Of the
house of Vance Emery, on Cabarrus
street, as the old mans story goes, John
Morgan, colored friend. passing in the
opposite direction, stepped on his
CEatonssY' foot, when Eaton said, 'Don't
step on my foot again. " ~;
%You are are a. liar, I didn't step on
your foot" retorted the drunkard, and
at this moment Eaton struck Morgan,
knocking him down. Morgan, when he
got up, followed Eaton around the cor
ner, and with ajaltaI knife stabbed him
twice, the first blow struck the right arm,
not being serionylbut the second ripped
the old man fr6h the left ear to his
throat, cutting the external jugular vein,
causing great loss of blood, which ac
counts for his weakness.
DR.. Rogers was summoned and
sewed up the wounds, having to take
Seventeen stitches in the throae cut.

night, ''ls very weak, and until see

Dan K. Polk and Joe Perry were the first
mother did what they could for the
wounds, and, with the assistance of Rob

house, where he received the Doctors
attention. Joe Perry was the only eye
witness, and when Constable John Up
church arrived on the scene, Morgan had
gone up the railroad track, bound prob
ably for Durham, but Constable john
was too much for him, and the
two met near Jones & PowelIs wood
and coal yard, where Morgan. was
informed that warrant for his arrest
had been sworn out and that he must re-
turn to the city. at this, the negro
again brought out IBIS deadly weapon

of Roger Kelly, well known as colored

Sheriff Brooks he boarded the Eastbound

There can be no doubt but that he is in

cause of his mania seems to be the in

the most enthusiastic E'rooter', known in
Hthis section. Taronghail his rawlings at
the depot, while gaping crowd of ne

BRITISH IN JAMAICA.
People Of the Country Not Allowed
ANY Voice in Government.

The statement made in this
paper that the British refuse to
allow the people of the island OF
Jamaica any voice in the govern
ment is denied by one of our con-
temporaries, which declares that
the Legislature is said to have
among its members of both houses
more than 80 per cent. of what the
Americans term colored blood"
In 1866, says the British Cyclic
pedia of Jamaica, after the "Gor-
don riots" the Constitution which
had stood 200 years was swept
away, with its Assembly of forty
seven members, and the govern
ment consisted of the Governor,
one Chamber and eight officials, all
Councillors holding Office at the
royal will and pleasure. The An
nual Cyclopedia of 1894 states that
the Assembly sis composed of
eighteen members, half of whom
are elected by the people and half
nominated by the Governor" The
Privy Council is wholly independ-
ent of the popular vote, and con-
sists of officials nominated by the
Crown.
The judges of the high courts are
nominated by the Crown. AS the
people are not allowed to elect their
Governor, and have no voice in the
nomination of the Privy Council,
and can elect only one-half of the
Assembly, it seems that the island
is entirely under British rule, and
the people have no voice in the
government.
The statement made that $50
per cent. of the members of both
houses have colored blood in their
veins" is not in accordance with
the truth. This statement regard
ing the government of the island is
also confirmed by Hazell's Annual
of 1894 and the Statesmen's year
book.
