A Sad Case.

Cincinnati. July 12.-"I ask
not for justice; I beg for mercy, :"
was the pleading of Bessie
} Johnson, in the Police Court
yesterday. She had been ar
rested time and time again for
drunkenness. Judge Gregg had
warned her that on her next ap-
pearance he would place the
habitual criminal act against her.
She was found Wednesday night
in a beastly state of lntoxication
In the Police Court the records
of various arrests and sentences
were read. you asked me TO
do that the last time" replied
His Honor, land [ did. Three
years and COSTS" Turning
around she cried, "I'll not serve
it. I'll kill myself" Reaching
the top of the stone steps lead
ing down to the station she
threw herself head first forward.
The woman comes of an aristo-
cratic Georgia family, studied
music under The best masters in
Europe, and at one time was a
bright star in the musical world.
She is at the hospital and will
recover.

A Band of Robbers.

Lake City, July IA band
OF mounted robbers gallopped
into this place about 2 a. m. last
night. dynamited and robbed
the safe in A. M. Chandler's
store, looted the ticket Office at
the depot, shot at the night
watchman, wounded a negro and
then rode out of town with their
plunder, firing off their pistols.
This gang in four weeks has
raldeo the towns of Jasper, Live
Oak. White Springs, H lnting-
ton, Hawthorne and Lake City,
securing booty valued at sever
al thousand dollars. They al
ways use dynamite to open safe
and raid merchautile establish
ments which do a baking busi-
ness. 1t is said the gang has
rendezvous in the Okeefinokee
swamp and that local confeder-
ates inform them when to strike.
A report is current that these
robbers lynched the negro
preacher Bennett recently be-
cause he had discovered the iden-
tity of some of them. The of
fcers of Hamilton, Columbia and
Suwanee counties are aroused
and will try to kill cr capture
the gang.

Homeward Bound

Washington, July 11.-Secre
tary Herbert received a cable
gram last night from Command.
er Davis, of the cruiser Mont
gomery, which has been at Colon
since July 1st, announcing that
the Nlcaraguan canal commission
had completed it's examination
Of the Panama isthmus and that
the ship would sail in a few
hours for home via Key West,
Secretary Herbert thinks the
Montgomery will proceed toNew
York with the commission, as he
understands the board of health
at Key West will not allow the
party to land there. The quar-.
antine against Colon, which is
regarded as infected, being strin-
gently enforced.
Treasury receipts and expendi-
lures have both been running
heavy SO far this month. The
former have attained the aggre-
gate Of so, 979, 900, or nearly 81,
25O, 900 day, Sundays and holi-
days excluded, and the expendi-
lures foot up 1913, 318. 900, making
the deficits $12, 338, ,OO6. Since
July 1st, the general treasury
balance, according to the printed
daily statement, has declined So
600, 900, standing at $191, 518, 900.
From this there is to be deduct
ed Sc, 527, GIG for bonds and in-
terest paid. The gold reserve
has declined from $1O7, 557, 900
to $1O7, ,213, 900 The amount of
Treasury notes and United States
notes redeemed in gold and re-
issued amount to 1888, 189. 1t is
not believed that the deficit will
be very much increased for the
month over the figures it has now
reached and it may be reduced.
1t was learned authori lively
to-day that no representations
had been made to the State De-
partment by Senor Deputy de
Lone or any other person to the
effect that Spain was displeased
with the alleged utterances of
Mr.. Eustis, the United States
Ambassador to France. concern
ing Cuban affairs. Furthermore,
it is stated on the same author
ity that if Mr.. Taylor, the Unit
ed States Minister to Madrid, has
denied to the Spanish Governs
ment that Eustis uttered the
statements attributed to him. he
did SO without explicit instruc-
tions from the State Depart
ment. Whatever Mr.. Taylor did
in regard to the matter, if he did
anything at all, was, it is stated,
the result of private arrange
ments between Mr.. Eustis and
himself. Such a course would
have been exceedingly irregular
and for that reason it is not be-
lieved by the department to have
been pursued. It is belied that
if the Spanish Minister had been
instructed by his Government to
lay a complaint against Mr.. Eus-
tis before Secretary Olney, he
would have gone direct to Fal-
mouth, where Mr.. Olney is
spending the summer.

from all over the country. Busi-

times improving generally with
improved prices for all the sta

Under the British Flag.

New York, July 1.-THE
British steamer Ardandhu ar
rived All quarantine early this
morning from Cuban ports.
Capt. Walker says that while
the ArdaEdhu lay at Gibara, on
June 10Th, Mr., Franc. r. F.
Woodward, claiming to be an
American citizen and a cores
pondent for the New York Morn
ing Journal, came on board his
vessel and placed himself under
the protection of the British
flag. He explained that he had
been in the noun Jains with the
rebel army for the purpose of
obtaining information in the
pursuance of his duty as news
paper correspondent. He was
twice captured by the Spanish
soldiers, but escaped. When he
attempted to leave the rebel
camp Gen. Maceo detained him
and endeavored to have him re-
main as an officer. After sew
eral attempts he finally escaped
and made his way to the little
town of Banes. There he de-
parted from his. horse and took
passage in d Spanish steamer for
Gibara. He had been deprived
of all funds and papers. On the
arrival at Gibara he appealed to
the United consular agent, Jos 9
H, Beola, g. Spanish merchant
and an officer in the Spanish
army. He explained his condi>
ton and asked protection as an
American until he got vessel to
New York, fearing immediate
imprisonment. The consular
agent refused to recognize him
as an American citizen. He de-
clined to investigate Mr.. Wood
wards story by communicating
with Santiago de Cuba, where
Woodward stated his papers had
been filed with Consul Hyatt,
and insultingly declared that all
American reporters we're hired
by the Cubans to writes lies. He
strongly recommended Mr..
Woodward to give himself up to
the Spaniards, which would
have meant close confinement at
this time. Capt. Waleer says he
promised him protection under
the British flag in the face of all
obstacles and took him away.
Woodward, when seen this
morning morning at quarantine
said that the captains statement
was true aud that he could add
nothing to it. He complain ed
bitterly Of his treatment by the
United States consul at Gibara,
Jose III. Beola, who he claims
holds a commission in the Spans
| ish army.

A Few Suggestions.
July 9, 1895.

The sale of THE ARGUS should
not affect its continued publica-
ton and standing in the commun
ity or impair it's value. Its daily
publication for the past ten years
and more marks the greatest
strides in the city's history as a
growing commercial and manu-
featuring centre, and the people
of Goldsboro-the business men
and other enterprising citizens
owe to it themselves to see to it
that the value of the paper is not
underestimated at the sale, for
that of itself would be a great
drawback to the city as to its
standing in the great commercial
centres where newspapers are
esteemed the most influential and
unfailing factors in the upbuild
ing of trade and the maintenance
of prestige. Ten years is but
brief span in the history Of
community or city, as time is
reckoned, but Goldsboro has
reason to be proud Of her record
of achievements in the past ten
years. II that time the city has
more than quadrupled her man
ufacturing enterprises and thrib-
led her volume of commerce. ac-
quired electric lights and water
works and added other public
improvements of permanent ma
ture and inestimable value-and
along every avenue Of progress
THE ARGUS has taken the lead
and invited the footsteps of en-
terprise, while the profits to
capital and the benefits to labor
resulting therefrQm have proved
the wisdom of it's course and the
virtue Of public spirit wisely di-
rected. These things should not
be forgotten by the citizens of
Goldsboro in this crisis that
has come to their daily pa
per, but should be gravely con
sidered and magnanimously
met. Surely there are enough
sagacious business men of ample
means in GoIdsboro to compre>
hend the situation in all it's bear
ings and realize just what set
back it would be to the town for
its daily paper, after record Of
ten years of every duty to the
community unfailingly done, to
go to pieces under a forced
sale, when the organization of a
stock company Of a few thou
sand dollars capital could estab-
lish the paper on frmer basis
than ever before, save it's pres.
ent owners from loss and make
it a sure dividend paying enter
prise. It behooves our business
men to get together and consider
these suggestions.

Spaniards Routed,

Jacksonville, Fla. July 11.-A
cablegram to the Times Union
from Key West, Fla, says: Late
advices to this city from Havana
state that a battle was fought
near Manzanillo on the 3rd, be-
tween 500 fresh Spanish troops,

troops were completely routed

Cuban leader was killed, being
the only one lost by the insur-
gents, The Spanish troops were
almost annihilated, only two
officers and six soldiers escap-

Washington News.

Washington, D. c.. July 12.-
The announcement that the
cruiser Columbia had been
placed in the dry dock at South
ampton to have her bottom
cleaned and to make ready for
her race across the ocean for a
warship record was confirmed
to-day by Secretary Herbert,
who it appears has given Capt.
Sumner permission to incur this
expense. This will materially
change the conditions under
which the Columbia will make
the race, placing her in better
condition as far as a clean null
is concerned than most of the
transatlantic passenger steam
ers when their records were
made and removes one of the
possible excuses should she
make a poor showing. 1t only
remains now to increase the
force of fremen on the vessel to
make her the equal in all re-
spects of other vessels of the
same coal capacity running be-
tween New York and Europe.
Naval officers predict that the
Columbia will sight Sandy Hook
light in about seven days after
she leaves Southampton and that
it would be unfair to expect any
greater performance from her
for such long voyage.
First Assistant Postmaster
General Jones to-day issued an
order to Postmasters through.
out the country, forbidding the
issue of money orders payable
on their own Office. The order
can be issued on a station.
