..why Gea,ry win not Come. -

"Some of the hcrse-owners are com
planning because there are no purses at
the races at the State Fair, all being
stake races. For this reason John r.
Gentry does not come. Col. Odds in
Charlotte Observer.
The above statement is a surprise to
the Fair authorities, and no doubt also
to Mr. L. Banks Holt, and does injustice
to both
The program Of races has nothing to
do with the coming Of Gentry. The
engagements of the great horse kept
him out of the State until the first of
November, and Mr. Holt expressed his
regret that he was unable to have Gentry
at the Fair
If Col. Odds will kindly call at the
office of the Society when seeking news
about the Fair we will be pleased to
furnish him correct information

MAYOR RUSS ARRESTED.

He Appears Before Magistrate Mar
com ON Warrant by w. T. Ball,
Who Says the Mayor Knocked Him
DOwn'-The Mayor Denies Having
Struck Bali at All, but Says he Was
so Drunk and Annoying that he Had
Him Locked Up.-FIearing Postponed
Until Tuesday, ia A bsencc Of the
Mayors Witnesses.
Yesterday morning Mr.. W. T. Ball
of this city got out a warrant for the ar
rest of Mayor ". NJ Russ for assault and
battery.
The parties appeared yesterday after
noon before Justice of the Peace Mar
com, and, at the request of the defence,
the case was postponed until next Tues
day, when it is expected to be heard be-
fore The same magistrate.
The postponement was asked because
of the absence from the city of two of
the chief witnesses for the defence,
namely, Messrs Ell. Chambers Smith
and Lindsay.
The warrant concerns a trouble that
took place Wednesday between Mr.. Ball
and Mayor Russ.
1t was charged by Mr. Ball that Mayor
Russ knocked him down on Fayetteville
street, opposite the market, and later
took him by the collar, pushed him along,
turned him over to policemen and
had him locked up. 1t was charged,
moreover, that the two brothers Of Ball
came to see the Mayor concerning him and
that the Mayor threatened in his Office
to have them, also, locked up. 1t is
charged, moreover, that the Mayor was
under the influence of intoxicating liquor
aud made the attack upon Ball without
cause.
Mayor Russ denies the charges Of Mr.
Ball, saying that his statement will be
borne ont by Mr.. Ell. Chambers Smith
and by Mr.. Lindsay who were present
and who were eye witnesses; he denies
that he struck Mr.. Ball at all,
and asserts that Mr.. Ball was very
drunk, and annoying, and continuously
so insulted him, that he became I'M
bearab'e; that then he ordered him
locked up by policeman; that Ball was
so drunk that he declared he saw two
policemen take him, when there was
only one Mayor Russ said tie publicity
OF the papers was, or course very dlsa-
greeable 10 him, but that the whole
thing would come out before the magis
trate, WHEN the facts, as they occurred,
would appear.
In the meantime, it was said yoster
day On the part of the friends OF Mr..
Ball that if such thing were possible,
the city would be sued for false impris-
onment of him.
There the matter stands; number of
people saw the alleged difficulty,
but no one spoke of it, as the affair filled
the friends Of either party with deep re-
greet only. These friends hoped that
there would be no unnecessary develop
ment of what was at first a lamentable
accident all around, but now that the
matter has come within the limits of the
law, it is only left to await the result of
the hearing.

PROFESSIONAL ROBBERS.
Well Known Detective Converses With the
Journal About their SkiIful Methods.

SIS crime increasing in this State?" re.
peated detective, yesterday, as he was
asked this question by one of the Jour
nails ink singers and he quickly an
swered that he thought it was.
Nearly every day you take up daily
paper and read of robbery, suicide,
murder or criminal offense of some sort.
The cause may be determined in several
ways. 1t does seem, though, that people
are careless and this fact encourages law
breakers in many cases. Now the sum-
mer resorts of this State will soon be
visited by wealthy people and when they
come sneak thieves and expert lifters of
valuables follow. In my opinion many
of tho diamonds, the jewelry, etc, of
these rich people are spotted before they
tunty for the thief is less hazardous at
the coast than in the large city.
"Of late a number of robberics have
been committed in the State and most of
them, you will notice, occurred in places
where store and postoflice were con-
nected.
"You ask what,do these thieves do with
the stamps they steal, we'll it is my firm
opinion that they are disposed of in the
large cities and that the fellows who do
the 'robbing act are in communication
with pals, in the cities. once had a
robber, who was many years in the ne
farious business. tell me the manner in
which they operated. Generally two
would go ahead and in the town where
they considered pull easy would look
the field over very carefully. They drew
plan of the building in which the rob-
berry was to occur and an outline of the
premises making the direction to ap-
proach the building and portion to enter.
On the night the robbery was to occur
two would be detailed as watchmen and
often three of this gang would make the
pull.
"This robber in relating to me the
methods he was accustomed to said that
generally all that was carried in the way
of tools was first class cold chisel, u
fuse and powder. The ordinary freproof
safe, he said, was easy to demolish and If
cautious the haul was generally sue
cessfully made He said that one time
be and his pals were opening safe in
store over which family lived and
great danger was experienced. AT the
time of the explosion of the safe they ar
ranged for truck team with lot of
loose boards in the bottom to hastily drive
past. This worked to charm and the
contents of the iron box soon fell into
their hands"
