officially and formally endorsed by the
conference. All this was not, however,
accomplished without opposition. Chair
man Jewell offered as a minority report
that the conference recommend the
subordinate lodges to acknowledge the
authority of the Grand lodge which
met at Atlantic City in June, 1894
This provoked a hot debate, but the
minority report was defeated, onlN
four voting in favor of it. The confer
ence then adjourned and the grand
lodge met to elect the officers.

Douglass in PicadiIIy.

London, May 21.-The fashionable after
noon promenade in the Piccadilly was
well filed with aristocratic spectators
today when the Marquis of Queensberry
met his son, Lord Douglass of Hardwick,
near the corner of Bond street. A few
words passed between them and then there
was a brief, but very determined con-

the combatants and took them both to
the police station.
The young lords countenance was dis
figured with a black eye. Neither the
father nor the son preferred a charge
against each other, so they were merely
charged with disorderly conduct. They
will be arraigned in the Marlborough
police court tomorrow.

THE NEWS AND OBSERVER.

The Cotton Mill edition Of the News

was by tar the most enterprislng stroke
of journalism ever seen in North Caro-

1t showed most laudable spirit of en-
terprise on the part of its progressive
editor. Nothing but good can come to
the State through such enterprise, and

BLOOD HOUNDS FOR THE
COUNTIES.

Recent preparation OF diabolical
crimes in the State, develops the fact
that society needs all the protection
that possibly can be devised. North
Carolina begins to hang her head ID
shame for the fiendIsh work OF the
ruthless. red-handed murderer. 1t has
been many years since the State has
been shocked by crime 80 villainous
as the cold blooded murder OF j. B. Bon
ner at'Aurora ten days ago-perhaps not
since the famous Scott Partin tragedy
that took place in Johnston county
many years ago.
And it was only few weeks ago that
the white man Neville was murdered
at Tarboro by the colored man George
Washington, who paid the penalty tor
his crime at the end of rope in Tar
boro yesterday.
Sundays papers also announced that
a bold attempt was made to wreck
passenger train near Goldsbcro Friday
night. In all three cases which we
mention an effort was made to secure
blood-hounds from the State farms on
the Roanoke river, in order that the
criminals might be successfully and
speedily hunted down. In the Tarbo-
70 case the blood-hounds aided mate
rally in catching the murderer. In
the case at Aurora the distance was SO
great from the State farms that the
tracks would have been too cold before
the hounds could have been put to the
place. Mr.. Bonner's body was cold in
death at least twelve hours before it Wa,
found, and the necessary time to get
there from the State farm would have
made it impossible to track the fiends
In the case of the attempt to wreck
the train at Goldsboro Friday night, we
have not learned at this writing wheth-
or the hounds we're secured or whether
the criminals were caught.
These cases lead THE DEMOCRAT to
suggest the wisdom of keeping num-
Der of genuine blood-hounds at some
central point In every county in the
State. We believe it would be wise
expenditure of the public funds for the
county commissioners of every county
to purchase and hold in readiness the
proper number OF trained blood-hounds
for the speedy apprehension Of such
criminals.
This added protection to society we
believe would be a valuable service to
the State and an economical expendi.
ture Of that amount of money.
Criminals would be slow to commit
such black and atrocious deeds if they
knew that within few hours the
blood-hounds of death would be yelp.
ing on their tracks. We believe il
worth the serious consideration Of
county commissioners all over the
State.

CRIMINAL COURT.
Judge Meares.


criminal court of Wilmington and
Charlotte and established two new
courts, one in Western and the 9TH
er in Eastern Carolina. The eastern
district includes the county OF Halifax
with four other counties, we believe.
The first session of that court for this
county was opened in Halifax Monday
by Judge @. P. Meares OF Wilmington.
The following compose the grand jury ::
B. F. Tillery, foreman, NJ. Shaw, J. II.
Johnston, William Keeter, Richard
Morris, j. E. Glasgow, w. E. Bobbitt,
w. E. Sledge, J. S. Mealin, J. J. Cobb.
John G. Powell, w. B. Whitehead, w.
r. Neville, P. G. Riddick, 8. B. Hun
ter, w. H. Cole, J. T. Applewhite and
r. L. B. Gunter.
CHARGE TO THE GRAND JURY.
Judge Meares' charge to the grand
jury was long and exhaustive. He
spoke of the various crimes that come
under the province of the grand jury,
and emphasized the importance of the
jury doing their whole duty as servants
OF the State.
Touching the liquor busin sss Judge
Meares was especially pronounced.
Said he, "The right to retail liquor, the
opinion of the moonshiners and their
friends to the contrary Notwithstanding,
is not natural right nor a legal right.
It is a privilege accorded by the State"
He spoke of liquor not as an Particle"
but called 1t "this evil" He YVES very
pronounced in his charge concerning
men who sell liquor on Sunday. Many
licensed liquor dealers, he said, gather
together on Sunday men who work
all the week, sell them tangle-leg
whiskey and thus set at defiance the
laws of God and man just for few
dimes of gain.
The charge against selling to minors
was also very pronounced. The law
against selling to minors was enacted
tor the protection of society and to keep
from turning the tender years of youth
towards drunkenness. He said, "Men
who will sell liquor on Sunday or to
minors ought to be indicted, ought to
be convicted, and ought to be punish
ed"
All in all, the charge was able, and
Judge Meares' first appearance before
Halifax court made a good impression
On the docket were 81 cases-26 for
assault and battery, Is for larceny, and
the others for various crimes and mis-
demeanors. There were Is persons in
Jail, all to be tried.
CASES DISPOSED OF.
The following cases had been dispos-
ed of by the closing hour Of tho court
