DURRANT MURDER TRIAL.
Tie Defendants Attorneys Have not
Quarreled as Reported.
epubIlcan Congressmen.
Special 20 the News and Observer.
ASHEvILLE, n Q Oct. /

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Oct. II Dur
rants attorneys expect to conclude the
case of the defense next Monday
There is not truth in the report that
,fEe counsel for Durrant has disagreed
and that Duprey was making an excuse
of his opportune illness to get out of the
case. The most perfect harmony exists
between General Dickinson and Mr..
Duprey. In speaking of the friendly
feeling which exists between the attor
neys, Gen Dickinson SAID
1.-THE defense has tried this case fairly,
aud it is gratifying to know that there
has been no vindictive spirit shown y
any one of the attorneys. We have de-
fended the accused to the best of OIL
ability, firmly believing In his innocence
from the start. The case of the defense
will rest on the merits of its testimony.
A great many of The leading attorneys
have spoken TO me about our action In
putting Durrant on the stand. He did
that in order to give the young man a
chance to tell his story in his own words.
The legal brethren have been disposed
to criticize us for permitting Durrant to
tell the story of the unknown man and
of his going to the ferry. The object in
allowing him to relate in his own words
was 10 convince the jury and the public
that Durrant was telling bis own story
and not repeating memorized state
msat. 1t was to show that the young
man was not coached"

SOUTH CAROLINA LAWS.
The Homestead Law Discussed in the
Constitutional Convention.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Oct. H. The session
of the South Carolina Constitutional
Convention to day, was devoted to dis
cussion of the homestead law. The pro-
vision at issue was that of preventing the
mortgage sale of a homestead after it
has been set aside. Senator Tillman
characterized the whole report of the
Committee as a sham and fraud. He
said it pretended to give the right of a
homestead though leaving loop holes for
the Supreme Court to decide the law so
as to defeat the homestead. The motion
to strike out the provision was adopted
by vote of 90 to az.
The discussion Of the homestead ex-
emption section was continued at the
night session of the convention, but foth-
ing was accomplished up to adjournment
at 1890 O'Clock.
An important section was introduced
relative to lynchings tonight. 1t is a
proviso in the constitution making it a
misdemeanor for any county, State or
municipal officer to allow mob to take
a prisoner from him and subject him to
bodily violence or death, giving the
Governor power to remove him in such
cases and making him ineligible to hold
any other Office under the State. The
section will be acted on later.

THE SUGAR BOUNTY CASES.
Question as to the Controllers Juris.
dictiOn to be Raised.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 17-Ez-
Senator Henderson, of Nebraska, will
be given a hearing by Secretary Oar
Isle on the question raised by him in
the sugar bounty cases as to the juris-
diction of the Controller of the Treasury.
After Controller Bowler's decision to
send the cases to the Court of Claims,
Secretary Carlisle promised the sugar
men that he would hear them if they
desired it on this question. Last night
the Secretary telegraphed ex Senator
Manderson notifying him that the Court
of Claims will meet on the 25th of this
month and, unless the question as to the
Controllers jurisdiction was raised be-
fore that time, he would send the claims
to the court. This morning the Secre-
tary received reply from Mr.. Mander-
son renewing his request for hearing
and asking that the time for the hearing
be fixed for some date before November
10th.
There is an intimation that Secretary
Carlisle forced the issue at this time in
order to get the matter into court before
Congress convened as it was believed
that the sugar men hoped to keep it out
of court until an effort could be made
in Congress again to pass the appropri-
alton coupled with provision making
it mandatory on the Secretary to pay it
forthwith.

ufacturers' Record reports that the bank
clearances throughout the South for the
week shows large gain over the CORE
spending period of last year, with rail

some years, there is no special

was evident that there was dissatisfac-
ton at the jury's recommendation to
mercy Of VIM Blake, Sr., and some per
sons were heard to say that Blake would
never reach the penitentiary. The con-
victed men, as soon as cour tadj)urned,
about half past seven o'clock, were hand
cuffed and taken out of the court room.
On their way to the Jail, within a
few feet of the prison, the sheriff

the custody of the c)nstables and taken
off into the woods. The handouts were
unlocked in some way, and FIR sier was
returned to the custody of the jailer.
The crowd, numbering about fifty men,
proceeded to a dense piece of woods
about one half mile from the coult
house, and hung William Blake, Sr.,
with a plow line to the limb of a large
pine tree. Several shots were fred into
bis body, and the crowd dispersed.
The coroner's jury returned a verdict
that William Blake, Sr, came to his
death at the hands of parties unknown

THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
Bishops DecaJre Against the Western
North Carol M nistFicts

NINNEAPOLIs. Mimi. Oct. II - Under
the rules of the House cf Deputies Of the
Trieunial E2iscopalien Convention, reso-
lutions offered after the 18th day Of the
session cannot be admitted save by a
two-th rds vote This rule was respon-
sible to day for the shutting out Of two
resolutions.
One came from Rev. Charles L.,
Mallory of Milwaukee, and provided for
the building in churches of fOuntS large
enough for the dipping of infants and
adults to the rite of baptism. The other
came from Rev. DR.. Prall, of Detroit,
and called for the appointment of a com
mittee to inquire into the state of re-
ligion in the United States, especially
the alienation of the masses and the
breach between capital and labor. The
provision f0rbidding the binding of the
prayer book and the hymnal together,
was rescinded.
A me sage from the House of Bishops
announcing that it had declared against
the erection of a missionary district IN
Western North Car, lima and in favor OF
the erection of a diocese out of the
missionary district of Northern Texas,
was referred to proper commit ee. 1t
developed that the sudden change of
fr.n on the part of the House of
Bishops in voting to name mission
ary bishop of Alaska was due to
the personal guarantee of the new
bishops salary for three years by Bishop
otter, of New York. This guaranteeis
understood to have been gwen by j.
Pierpont Morgan.
The House of Bishops this morning be-
gan balloting for bishops to preside over
the new missionary jurisdictions. Rev
J. M. Francis was elected on the first
ballot bishop of Toxic, Japan. He is a
missionary now resident in that country
Rev. Poler J. Rowe: Of Saulte Ste Ma ie,
Mich, was named Bishop of Alaska on
the first ballot.
The bishop for the new missionary ju
risdiction of Northern Minnesota, was
postponed until the endowment should
be made complete. The ballots were
preceded by u solemn service and the
vote was taken by secret ballot. There
was no opposition to DR.. Francis for
Bishop of Toxic he is a professor Of
systematic divinity in the Theological
School of the American Church Missions
in Japan, and has been in the field for
years.
Bishop elect Rowe, Of Alaska, was also
selected without much opposition. He is
a graduate Of Trinity College, Toronto.
These nominations must be confirmed by
the deputies The committee to nomi-
nate managers of the Board of Missions
recommended no change save the substi-
tuition Of Geo. g Thomas, Of Philadel-
phia, IN place Of Lemuel Coffin, deceased.
1t is explained that the summary ac-
ton of the House of Deputies yesterday
in excluding printed matter from distri-
button was due to en- attempt of a
former parishioner of Bishop Potter,
named Morty, who had latigiation with
the Bishop to circulate an attack on him
on the floor of the House.

THE WOOD MURDER MYSTERY.
The Three Suspects Arrested Monday
Night Discharged.


PETERSBURG, Va, Oct. 17.-No new
develop ments have transpired in the
Wood murder mystery to-day 1t be-
came very evident this morning that
Brennan, Turner and Lyon, the three
suspects arrested on Wednesday night,
knew nothing of the murder, and they
we're accordingly discharged
Detective Carron, of the Norfolk and
Western Railroad, arrived here to day
and after being shown the three men ar
rested Wednesday night, could not
identify them as parties who had board
ed the freight train in Norfolk on Tues
day. He stated, however, that Wood
boarded the train in Norfolk, and
said that he could bring plenty of
witnesses to prove it, as the tranmen in
the yard at Norfolk had remarked upon
a stranger, dressed in a blue suit of
clothes, with brass buttons, and CON
sidered it remarkable that be should be
attempting to steal a ride, as his gen
eral appearance did not denote that he
was man who was under the neces-
sity of having to beat his way.
He further stated that a negro and
four white men jumped on the train
while the latter was moving; that the
negro got in the same gondola in which
the man with the blue suit and brass
buttons was lying, and the four white
men boarded a gondola some distance in
the rear He stated that the white men
and negro were notOriously bad charac,
ters and would hesitate at nothing.
These white men and negro have not
been seen in Norfolk since Tuesday, al
though the authorities have made every
effort to find them.
The flagman at Church Roads, twelve
miles South of Petersburg, reported
that on the night of the murder a man
jumped from the train at his station
(this was the train upon which the muir
der was committed). Church Roads was
first station reached after the train left
Petersburg.
Young Wood Lived in Washington.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 17-William
NJ. Wood, the man found murdered in a
freight car at Petersburg, Va, Tuesday
night, is q son of Mrs Elizabeth Wood,
a clerk in the Treasury department, who
lives on Q street. 1t was not until late
last night that the sad intelligence was
told her by sympathizing friends. She
is woman Of extremely delicate nervous
organization, and as was feared the
shock produced an almost hysterical eff
feet
Wood was about twenty-five years of
age, and had been in the United States
Navy About eighteen months ago he
was licensed in Baltimore as a first mate
upon the Atlantic Coast trading vessels.
On one of these vessels he went to
Brazil and enlisted in the Navy
as an officer. He obtained a dis
charge and intended sto go to San Fran
cisco and become first mate on Pacif-
ic mail steamer.
Instead of doing this, he went, not long
ago, to Boston, and from there shipped
for Norfolk, having written that he would
soon be home.
When the dispatches were read an
nouncing the murder of a man with a
card bearing the name of ''W M Wood"
in his pocket, friends at once telegraphed
and fully identified the body. Woods
friends in Washington are prominent
officials, and he was splendidly educated
and an extremely bright young man.

BRAZIL HELPS THE CUBANs.

Grants Causes Comment.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct. 17-Cable
reports from Buenos Ayres Of Brazil's
willingness under certain circumstances
to recognize the Cuhans as belligerants,
is causing much comment in official cir
cles, although cable inquiries have not
yet brought either confirmation or de-
NAL
Under ordinary circumstances, little
reliance is placed in the Brazilian re-
ports coming via Buenos Ayres, but in
this case it is known that an extensive
agitation in favor of the Cuban iusur-
gents has beer going on recently through
Brazil. The Brazilian papers up TO the

here, and show that the press and public
have been besieging the Brazilian Con
