A Florida Tragedy.

ORMoND, Fla, April 25.-Yes-
terday's shooting affray bet yeen
Jeff Hagan and Judge" Roland
has resulted in tragedy. Both
men were shot yesterday in a
quarrel about the discharge of
Roland by Hagan. Roland, who
is a burly negro Of rather bad
reputation, has been at his house
in Liberia, the negro suburb OF
Ormond, since he was shot. To-
day Sheriff Kurtz came from De-
land to arrest him and was ac-
companied by Sheriff Hagan, OF
Putnam county, the latter q
brother of jeff Hagan. The two
officers were watching Roland's
house to prevent his escape
while they waited for a warrant
for his arrest. While they were
passing near the house Roland,
from an open door, opened fire
with a Winchester. The frs
shot hit Kurtz, striking him il
the side and passing through the
chest. Death followed in a few
minutes. Sheriff Hagan was
prompt to act and shot at ROLAND
several times, disabling him a
the first shot. He died within
an hour. Roland's house wa.
found to be quite an arsenal, be
ing supplied with firearms ant
ammunition.

Fire in Charlotte.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., April 25.
One Of the severest fires in the
history of Charlotte, occurred
this afternoon. The immense
brick warehouse of S. Sanders
and Blackwood on College street
was discovered to be ablaze at
80 o'clock in the third story of
the portion occupied by the
hardware Company of Brown,
Wellington & Co. The room
was stored with wagons and
wooden goods. The building
could not be saved and the fire
broke out soon after in the
part of the building occupied by
the cotton brokerage firm of
Howell, Orr & Co., which was
burned, as also the stores of
Harrison Watts, W. r. Burwell
and H. G. Springs. The stores
of J. w. Crown, J. T. Scarboro,
J. A. Overcast, Southern Chem
ical Company: FL. G.. Link, Field
Bros. 4. A. Duncan, w. II.
Hoover, and the offices of S. FL.
Sloan & Co., were crushed ir by
falling walls.
The fire leaped across the
street several times and igni5ed
saloons and livery stables there
bu they were saved with but
slight damage. The origin o1
the fire is unknown. The losses
will be between $75, 900 and
800, ,o0O. perhaps three-quarters
! covered by insurance.

TRADE AND FINANCE.

There has been no reaction as
yet from the general advance ir
prices reported last week and re
gularly now for several weeks
Petroleum has declined, but thai
was to be expected after the ex
citement that attended its sud
den advance to the highest price
it had sold at in many years.
The general tendency, however,
is still upward. Wheat, corn
and cotton are higher. Dry
goods cost more now than they
did week ago. Iron has moved
up a peg. In some cases declines
may follow, but they will be
chiefly in the speculative markets
and of short duration. 1t would
take another panic to put prices
back to the figures Of three
months ago, and that we are not
going to have.
Whatever may be thought
among the silver monometallists
of President Cleveland's Chicago
letter, it strengthened the Lon
don market for American secur-
tiles. They are advancing in
price and are more in demand
than they have been heretofore
in many months. The opinion
that our financial and business
troubles are over prevails every
where except in spots here and
there. Unfortunately, a few
sections of the country are still
under the pessimistic influence
Of the calamity howlers. That
business has improved immense
ly and is growing better every
day is shown by the advance in
prices on an active market, by
increased bank clearings; by the
restoration of ante-panic wages
in Eastern mills and factories 10y
the increased production Of pig
iron and Bessemer steel; by
larger railway traffic; by the in
crease of business reported by
jobbers and manufacturers; by
the building activity in St. Louis,
Chicago, New York and other
commercial centers, and by the
increase of gold coin in the coun-
try at a season Of the year when
gold exports are ordinarily very
heavy.
The Financial Chronicle re-
ports an increase of 2. 33 per cent.
in the receipts of 81 railroads in
the first week Of April. The re
port for the second week is less
favorable, but it covers only 45
lines. When complete sub
stantial gain will probably be
shown. The latest returns from
the St. Louis lines are favorable
with a couple of exceptions. The
Baltimore and Ohio Southwest
ern reports a good increase, as
do also the Big Four and Glover
Leaf. The Wabash had DIN in
crease of ST., 900 in the SECOND
week of the month and, of course
the Southwestern lines repor
big gains, as usual. The Frisco
is the only one not in the list
but it is expected there as sool
as it reports. It gained nearl,
$4,000 the first week of th'
month.

A Bank Badly Bro ken.

CINCINNATI, April 26.-The
stockholders of the Commercial
bank expect an assessment of
double their liability. The de-
positors, according to one source,
will be paid in full. Another
informant says 80 per cent is the
best figure they can alta a. The
appraisement is ready and will
be filed on the return to the city
of J. G. S. Midlapp, of the I'm
ion Savings Bank and Trust
company. A well known attorney
thinks paper appraised a. trates
Of 25, 35, SO and IS per cent. will
turn out much better than was
expected. The total liabilities
are 5000, 600. Suits to recover
deposits made on the day of the
failure continue to be fled.

THERE is NOTHING NEW OF HOLLAND
Officers Led Off on a False Scent. The
Shortage Now Reaches $500 Chief
Orr Made a Special Deputy Marshal.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
Business goes along as it was
wont to at the Merchants and
Farmers National Bank, and
Examiner Miller is still dill
gently at work. But there are
no tidings of Jas. r. Holland,
the defauIting and missing
cashier. Speculation is rife
Some figure him in New York,
others in Texas, others still in
Mexico and many believe he is in
Charlotte or its vicinity still.
The officers are working every
clue. Yesterday morning a negro
reported that Holland had tried
to engage him to drive him (Hol-
land) Tuesday night to the home
Of his brother-in-law, Mr.. Alfred
Kirkpatrick, in Sharon town
ship, but that he was afraid and
declined to do so; but that he saw
Holland get i'll a buggy at his
home, Tuesday night, and drive
away toward Sharon. Upon this
information Marshal Allison and
Police Sergeant Baker went to
Sharon yesterday and made
every investigation, finding moth
ing except that the story was
false.
It is as much a question how
the eX-cashier got away, if he is
gone, as it is whether or not he
is gone. By rail, buggy, horse
back or on foot? Both of his
horses are still here and the
knowledge Of this fact explodes
the theory that he rode away on
one OF the Sc.
Yesterday Chief Of Police Orr
was sworn in as a special deputy
United States marshal, and du-
plicste warrant for Holland was
placed in his hands:
Even before the fire Of yester-
day, which gave the people some
thing else sensational to think
and talk about, interest in this
notable case had perceptibly sub
sided and something Of it's nor
NAL qHietude had settled upon
, the town.
People had measurably ceased
to interrogate each other for
news about the case, and doubt
less this subsistence Of interest
will continue until new sensa-
ton shall spring out of the arrest
Of the fugitive-if that is ever
accomplished,
The shortage in his accounts
is found to be in the neighbor-
hood Of $75, 900.
Marshal Allison left yesterday
afternoon for his home at States
vile and District Attorney
Glenn will leave this morning.
Mr.. Thos. Grier was yester-
day elected treasurer of the
church committee. in place Of
Mr.. Holland.

RALEIGH, April 81.
When the steal of 50. 500 from
the bank Of Roxboro, reported to
be by robbers, became known
here, State Treasurer Worth
sent bank examiner Palmer at
once to Roxboro to investigate
thoroughly the. circumstances
surrounding the case and the
condition of the bank.
A telegram from Palmer this
evening reports grave irregula-
rites discovered in the affairs of
the bank and that it's doors have
been closed, and that for the ir-
regularities it's cashier, Jones,
has been committed to Jail, and
the intimation and growing
opinion is that he himself is the
robber.

Two Men Killed.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April 26.
A special to the Advertiser from
Selma, Ala, says: A terrible
duel occurred here to-day. II
was the outcome of a feud which
has existed between the Dudleys
and their friends on one side and
the Haynes and friends on the
other for years. Numerous fights
and shooting scrapes have oc-
Cured between the parties, but
none have been as serious as the
one to-day. About two weeks
ago "Sonk" Dudley and James
Minters had fight in which
Dudley was shot and seriously
wounded.
Minters gave himself up to the
sheriff and was to have had his
preliminary trial in Selma to-
day. This attracted many friends
from both sides to town. Among
them was Robert Browning, a
nephew of James Minters, and
Ed Dudley, son of ''Sonk" Dud-
ley. These two were the prin-
cipals in to-day's fight. Brown
ing and Dudley entered Henry
Cassin's store and each passed
separately to the rear. Those in
front soon heard the words: 'If
you want anything you can get
it." Both drew pistols and be-
gan firing. The firing was rapid
and both men sank to the floor.
An instant later both raised
themselves partially from the
floor, and drawing pistols con
tinued firing. The sheriff hear
ing the shots went in. Both men
were stretched on the floor, their
feet touching. Browning was
dead and Dudley was gasping for
breath. Browning had been hit
five times, the fatal shot entering
just back of the ear, three others
had entered his wrist and one his
stomachr. Dudley was carried to
the hospital, and when he was
removed from the cot two balls
which had passed through him
fell to the floor. When the sher-
iff reached the scene E. H. Sneed
was in the act of firing, presum-
ably at Dudley, as he was a clerk
for Browning. Joe Dudley, an
uncle Of Ed, rushed in, and
when examined, two balls were
missing from his pistol. Sneed
was afterwards arrested, and on
his person were two pistols, one
Of which was empty.
Later dispatches from Selma
say that the two Dudleys, Joe
and Ed, entered three stores on
Water street and passed back to
the rear for water. 1t was evi
dent that they were looking fol
some one. When they reached
Cassin's store the younger one,
Ed, passed in, brushing agains
Browning and went to the rear
Browning followed and some
words passed, when the firing
began. Joe Dudley rushed il
and fired three balls into tn
prostrate body of Browning. A
he did that Sneed fired at hin
four times, but missed ever,
shot. When Dudley was takel
to the hospital and his wounds
examined, the doctors said there
was but one chance in a Thousand
for him to survive by resortins
to an operation. He said he
would take that chance, but diee
before it was completed. 1t was
found that his bowels wer'
pierced in twenty-five places ant
), his liver in three. Browning wa
l22 years old and unmarried
Dudley was 33 years, and leave
a wife and two children. Jo
! Dudley and Sneed are both il
jail. AS near as can be ascer
tanned % shots we're fired. E1gh
pistols were taken from the PAL
ties engaged in the fight.

Minister Ransom,

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Tht
State Department has made pub

President Diaz, when the forme-
presented his credentials re
Gently. Mr.. Ransom was fresl
from the atmosphere of the
State Department and appar-
entity imbued with the policy O.
this Government toward othel
Republics.
Among other things the Min
lister declared that 1.-The relations
existing between the two grea
Republics, divided by a conven
tional line extended across the
| Continent from the Gulf Of Mex
leo to the Pacific ocean, must
ever be a subject of serious in
terest to every patriotic citizen
Of both countries. No thought
full observer can cross the boun-
Diary and not realize that every
consideration Of interest, every
obligation of duty and every sen
timent ofpatriotism enjo'ns peace
and amity as the policy-I had
almost said, as the law be-
tween them.
The United States and Mex
leo recognize that justice be-
tween nations, as between indi-
viduals, is the mother of peace
and the first law of human hap
pineSs.
"They regard national justice
as national honor-the Z ter
the power of the nation, tie
greater its sense Of justice. They
both know that national discords
have been the most fruitful
sources Of public calamity, aud
that national fr'e lds ps have
been almost uns .ally produc
tive Of public and personal well
fare,
To-day peace is the interest
and duty Of all nations; but to
the United States and 10 Mexico
bound in territory tosetl er by
the indissoluble laws Of nature
and united by the ties Of com
merce, by the sympathies OF
popular government and by the
timelonored experience aid re-
spect-aulity and harmony prom
ise the most substantial beneti-
e 1c "
After paying this tribute tc
lMexico's improving commercial
condition and referring to Mr.
Gray's death, Mr.. Ransom de
livered his credentials. Presi
dent Diaz replied with reciprocal
declarations of amity and admi
ration.

COPTIC ARRIVES.

Take Only Tourists From Here.
The Pacific Mail liner Coptic ar
rived off port yesterday at a little
after ) pm. She left San Fran
cisco 1855 pm. Sept. II, making
the trip down in 6 days 8 hours
and 2 minutes.
When Captain Lindsay learned
of the state of affairs in Honolulu
he absolutely refused to enter the
harbor, preferring to cast anchor at
a safe distance.
Nothing would move him from
the stand taken. Besides refusing
to come into port he signified his
intention of taking no other pas
sengers than the sixteen Raymond
excursionists who were booked to
join the vessel here.
As much of the mail as could be
conveniently conveyed was brought
in by the pilot boat and H. Hack
field & Co.'s launch. The bulk of
paper mail remains aboard and will
be brought in this morning.
The Coptic brought thirteen pas
sengers for this port-a Russian
doctor and family of eight, and
four others.
The latter have asked permits
sion to be transferred aboard the
Alameda, due this morning, in
order that they may return to
America. They were frightened by
the situation in Honolulu. 1t is
not known what they will do
should the Alameda be a little late.
The other passengers for Homo
lulu will be brought in this morn
ing and landed at the Likelike
wharf.
There was no sickness among
the forty-fve cabin and 152 steer
age passengers.

An English Physician Says:

After fifty years of most extern
sive and varied practice in my pro-
fession, have come to the conclu-
sion that smoking is a main cause
of running our young men and rem
dering comparatively useless the
best effort of ministers of religion.
The proverbial drunkenness of our
countrymen can only be arrested
by laying the axe at the root of the
superinducing cause.-the thirst
creating power of tobacco" We
also have the opinion of DR.. Mus
sey, professor of surgery in the
Miami Medical College of Cincin-
natl; he says: "In the prac-
tice of smoking there Is
no small danger. 1t tends
to produce huskiness of the
mouth which calls for some liquid.
Water is too insipid as the nerves
Of taste are in a half palsied state
from the influence of the tobacco
smoke hence in order to be tasted
an article of pungent or stlmu-
lating character is resorted to, and
hence the kindred habits OF smok-
ing and drinking. Nv. Z. L. y.

HISTORIC COCOANUT ISLAND.
A City of Refuge and InViOlable
Sanctuary in War.

The pretty islet near Hilo, known
as Cocoanut Island, is not only
adapted to its present quarantine
purpose by location, but by its his
torical associations as well. In
ancient times it was one of the two
cities of refuge, or Puuhonuas, for
the island of Hawaii, and afforded
an inviolable sanctuary in time of
war. Its name, Mokuula, signifies
island of life or safety.
