was greeted with a large, cultur-
ed and appreciated audience and
it is neenless to say that the en-
tertainment was a success. All
of the performers played their
parts well and everything passed
off pleasantly. For afability and
genuine hospitality the Kenly
people are unexcelled. The Soc

A Family Fued.

Jackson, Miss, July 16-A
terrible tragedy was reported
from Learned. a Station thirty
miles southwest of hear this
evening, in which two men were
shot to death and a half dozen
more or less dangerously wound
ed. Particulars are meager. but.
from what could be learned of
passengers on the train that
passed the place, is appeared
that an old family fued existed
between the McRees and the
Terrells. At church last Sunday
one of the Terrells was severely
beaten by three McRees. They
were arrested and were tried at
a magistrates court at Learned
to-day. The belligerents were not
satisfied and adjourned at the
open field to fight it out with
their fist, but instead, pistols
were used. Forty or fifty shots
were fired. Two men, Forest and
Leaven McRee were killed in
stantly. While three others, two
OF them brothers of McRee were
seriouly wounded and it is
thought one of them will die be-
fore morning. The sheriff was
telegraphed to come at once pre-
pared to enforce peace, as further
trouble was expected. Learned
is a village Of 200 inhabitants and
the excitement is so intense that
the telegraph operators cannot
be prevailed upon to stay in his
long enough to get particu-
lars. The country it thickly set
tied with old families of prosper
Gus farmers, mort Of whom are |
related by blood or marriage ana
1t is feared that more blood will
flow before the row is settled.

Real estate in Goldsboro is
quite moderate in price: A mod
est cottage of four to eight rooms,
with suitable lot of a quarter to
half an acre, could be purchased
from $500 to 81, 500 and rented
at S. to $12 per month.
Farming lands are likewise to
be had on easy terms and moder-
ate prices. Good farming land
can be purchased at IS to 800

quality of soil.

A Story of Franklin Pierce.

Speaking of Franklin Pierce
reminds me of a strange story l
heard the other day. During the
war a Presbyterian preacher in
Missouri, who, by the way, was
afterward in a Chicago pulpit,
fell under the suspicion of the
Federal authorities and was ar
rested as a spy. His name was
Painter. Despite his protesta-
tions he was bundled off to Fort
Warren, Boston. After being
kept in confinement some months
he was released, but in a pitiable
plight. His clothing was worn
out, he had no money, and to
make matters worse, his family
had just arrived in Boston from
the West, having been sent on
by the military authorities. The
poor man knew not what to do,
but had recourse to prayer, in
which he was joined by his wife.
They had no other place than the
street in which to offer up their
applications, but this circum-
stance turned out to be their
favor, for their sad story was
written up in one of the Boston
papers, and a hotel keeper came
forward with an offer to keep the
minister and his family until
they were able to find employ
ment. Accordingly, Rev. Mr..
Painter took up his residence
with the hotel man and began
looking for work. For some
weeks he continued the search
for employment, and with such
poor success that he was greatly
discouraged.
When the outlook was at it's
darkest a strange thing occurred
Rev. Mr.. Painter was one day
surprised to hear that a gentle
man wished to see him. A very
handsome. dignifed man made
his appearance, and thus TX
planned the purpose of his call:
Il have come to seek for spirit
ual advice and comfort. AS you
see, | ain we'll along in years,
and failing health reminds me I
am not long for this world. My
home is in New Hampshire,
some distance from here, but
there are good reasons why I do
not wish to visit the ministers of
the gospel in my own neighbor-
hood. They would say I had
been an urbeliever all my
life, and had turned to re-
ligion only from fear or death.
It is not my wish to give them
the satisfaction. and reading in
one of your papers an account of
your experiences, [ resolved to
come to you. Will you pray for
me?"
The two men instantly knelt,
and Rev. Mr.. Painter asked the
mercy Of God for his visitor. The
old gentleman was Yisibly af-
fected. Then two or three
chapers of scripture were read
and a general talk about the
strangers doubts and fears fol-
lowed. Rev. Mr.. Painter gave
him much comfort. Next day
the old gentleman called again,
and this time asked the grace of
God. After thanking the minis
terror taking an interest in his
case, he placed in Rey. Mr.
Painters hand an envelope, say
ing: DO not open that until to-
morrow" He then went away.
Next day the envelope was OPP
ened, and in it were found two
300 bills, andd card in which
were inscribed the name of
Franklin Pierce, ex-President of
the United States.

Bridgeport, Oct 1S.--The investigat- ing committee appointed by the con- mon council to inquire into the methods pursued by the Traction company in building it's electric road, has been strangely quiet of late, and those on the inside said there was trouble be- tween the committee and City Attor- ney Toomey over the latter's recent change of attitude towards the street car corporation.
 MT. Toomey, it was understood, seem- ed reluctant to carry the matter to the courts. He admitted to the committee that the, road was clearly a series of violations of the specifications as they appeared on the records of the com
 mon council, but if the city's expert and the old street and sidewalks com
 mitte sanctioned these changes at the time they were made, the city could do nothing.
 This advice and other things made the committee dissatisfied, and they de- | cided to drop the city attorney and se- cure new counsel. Nego citations were
 opened with ex-Congressman R. E. De Forest and to-day Chairman Farrell an-
 nounced that MT. De Forest had Teen
 retained by the committee to push the investigation through.
 Important inquiries relative to the overhead work of the road are yet to be made, but Alderman Farrell says MT. De Forest will call the company into court as soon as possible and have
 a superior court judge pass upon the case.

HARVARD AND PRINCETON
IT HAS BEEN DECIDED THAT THE
 TWO TEAMS WTLL PLAY.

A M eeting of the Managers Was Held and
 it Was Agreed Upon That Football Games
 Shall Take Place Between tho Rival
 Colleges.
 Boston, Oct. 1S.-Harvard will play Princeton November at Princeton. This was decided this evening when Captain Brewer received word from Cornell that her game scheduled with Princeton for November g, the date Harvard wanted could not be changed. So November ?, proposed by Princeton, was accepted. and Captain Lea was wired.
 The only matter discussed at any length at the conference between Cap tain Brewer and Captain Lea at New London last evening, was that of the date. Harvard's choice was November 9 and Princeton's November 2. Prince ton had a game sheduled with Cor nell for November 9, but after yielding the date Harvard would arrange mat ters with Cornell. There was no trou- ble at the conference over the eligibility of players. The report that Princeton would play Wheeler was incorrect. The rules on the eligibility of players are practically the same at both colleges. The playing rules were easily settled. Regarding a fair catch, if a man first touched the ball to the ground he may rum with it Five men besides the quarter can be played behind the line, but the three center men must stay in the line. No player can start before the ball is put in motion.
 The Harvard-Columbia freshmen teams will meet again this year. Moth ing definite has been done about Co iumbia's challenge, but date will be arranged.

HOUSE OF BISHOPS.
Dean Hoffman Created Something of '
 Sensation.

Sensation.
 Minneapolis, Oct. 16.-The Episcopal deputies inaugurated the business of the fifteenth days session this morning with a report from the committee on consecration of the bishops approving the nomination of Rev. Peter Trimble of Sault Ste Marie, Mich, as missionary bishop of Alaska. It was decided to consider the nomination in executive session. A motion for the appointment of a committee of six to confer with the Washington committee and ar range that the triennial of '9S be held i'll a place other than 8 church, was laid on the table. Technical amend ments to the canon relating to the conn., position of the missionary council of the church were reported by Dr. Daven- port of Tennessee, and after being dis cussed at length, were laid aside for fur ther alteration.
 Something of sensation was cre- ated when Dean Hoffman, from the committee on consecration of bishops, presented a supplementary report send ing back to the bishops their nomina- tion of Rev. J. M. Francis as bishop of the new missionary Jurisdiction of Kyota, Japan, on the ground that the house had not been consulted concern ing the creation of the proposed juris- diction and had no information that such jurisdiction had been canonically erected.
 The deputies were evidently inclined to be jealous of their vested rights, for when the question on the adoption of the report was put not voice was raised in the negative and the mes- sage of the bishops was returned to l them instanter. After this matter had | been disposed of the house went into executive session.
