RALEIGH, N. c.. April T.--(Special.)-
Henry Kirby, OF Sampson county. 80
years old, committed suicide at the insane
asylum here in a curious way. He was,
with about thirty other patients, taking
exercise In the rear yard. where there are
many tall oak trees. An attendant was
with the squad Of patients. Suddenly
Kirby dashed away, and going to a tree
climbed II rapidly. Before the attendant
could reach him he was many feet above
the ground. When some rs or 20 feet
high he plunged to the ground. head fore
most. striking on top Of his head. HIS
skull was fractured and his spine IN
jured. He lived three hours.
1t is openly said by prominent Republi-
cans here that Senator Pritchard cannot
now be reelected to the United States
Senate. 1t is with equal posItiveness de-
clared that ID. l.. Russell is already de-
feated in his attempt to get the Republi-
can nomination for Governor.

Is charged that James broke the child's
neck and threw the body out Of the house
after Henry Stewart had so terribly
scalded the boy that his death would
eventually have resulted from the latter
cause.
II appears that the Seaboard Airline
desires more room for its shops here, the
present location being considered too
cramped.
Republican, Chairman Holton says the
whole fabric Of Russers campaign has
collapsed: that Russelps men are coming
TO him saying as much, and that the next

ton, and that we must 20 one way or
the other. Even the tentative steps to-
wards the gold standard have so reduced
our revenues that we have already bar
rowed 900 OF gold. without secur-

and more taxes are the only prospects on
this line.
Recognizing how difficult II IL TO move

the most conservative and safe move

destroying tax that shuts off State
banks This plan was unanimously en-
dorsed In the Democratic convention; II
had the approval OF the people In the
presidential election. and had It been pur-
sued l do not believe the Democratic
party would have met such q disastrous
defeat at the polls as that which fol-
lowed i;s sudden turmoil from its own
declarations and toward the gold stand

1t is quite evident that the people are
In no mood to tolerate straddles or other
devices that look both ways l believe
the most courageous and direct course
to be the safest course; and that the
rule OF the majority is the only rule
which can tend toward harmony. and
the integrity Of organization.

Congress. Only the State Is recognized

but right and just that they should say
So as they did four years ago. and as
they did In the State election. when Gov
ernor Mckinney was nominated and
elected. Certainly no man would wish
TO represent them otherwise than In &C
cordance with their wishes; and. II they
are for free silver. would II not be be-
coming and just and in accordance with
the true principles of the Democratic
party and OF republican government that
their wishes should be respected?

"WHYS" FOR WOMEN.

why will so many women overtax them
selves by household and other cares which
break down their health and strength
why will they suffer from weak, miser-
able feelings when there IS way to pre-
vent this sufferingY
why will they wear sad, respondent
looks and have pale, sallow compilations
when they might look happy and attract
i've?
Why will they neglect to build up their
health and strength when they can readily
do so with the help OF that great restorer
and strengthened, Duffy's pure malt
whiskey?
Why will they fail to get the benefit OF
this pure, invigorating stimulant when
they feel weak and low-spirited7 Women
should remember that 1t Is pure stimu-
liant which physicians highly recommend.
It makes pure blood, 1t quickens the circu-
lation. brightens the eyes and adds zest
to life which nothing else can produce. II

gists and no woman who values her
health should ever be without II.

and told him OF his error. Mr.. Hay wrote
out the correction for the reporter, and
be told Mr.. Flood and Mr.. Hay he would
nut Il I'm Wednesdays paper. Instead OF
this he put in his paper an interview with
Mr.. Flanagan, in which he claimed that
the Times report was correct; that he
had characterized Mr.. Floods statement
as an absolute falsehood." Mr.. Flood
saw this at breakfast. and as soon as he
saw Mr.. Flanagan after this he made
the attack.
MIR. HARRY JACOBS.
Mr. Harry Jacobs, Of Richmond. was
next called. He stated that he was in the
Senate chamber when the trouble oc-
Cured. and near the two gentlemen. He
heard Mr.. Flood denounce Mr.. Flanagan:
saw Mr.. Flanagan turn and look at Mr.
Flood. and thought ne probably retreated
a stem. Flanagan had ample time after he
saw Flood to make any kind OF defence
he might desire to. 1t took some time for
Flood to walk from where he denounced
Flanagan to where he struck him. He
Uacobs) had time TO wonder why Flana-
gan did not do something Flood raised
the stick. and Flanagan threw up his left
arm This lick, from the sound, struck
the arm Flanagan then cried out in pain
and threw his hands over his face, when
Flood struck him the lick on the head.
Flood then put his stick down and lett
the chamber.
Mr. Jacobs's testimony was very much
the same as Mr. Buttons as to the provo
cation given.
THE case was then argued, Mr.. Rodgers
contending that the penalty Of the bond
had been forfeited, Colonel Parr contend
ing that II had not, but that II 1t had
been. IT was just such case as Lee 1893
contemplated court relieving against;
that in Virginia II man took an insult
such as Mr.. Flood received, he was dis
sraced. In this case he could not measure
his honor by dollars and cents.
The Court adjudged the penalty OF the
bond forfeited, but, on motion OF the de-
PENDANT. by counsel. RENTED the penalty,
the defendant paying the cost OF the pro-
ceeding. as the bond had been forfeited.
Colonel Parr stated that Mr. Flood was
nresent. but as Mr.. Flanagan was not
here. and had not been summoned, Mr.
Flood preferred not TO make a statement
en- the case.

If the political future seems as well as
