United states Courts.

The spring term OF the United States
Courts begin here tomorrow. The suit
of Hyer VS.. the Traction Street Railway
Company Is fixed for trial at this session.
The grand jury meets Tuesday The
most interesting case to come before this
body is that of Sanitary Inspector u. q.
Lamlxn, charged with violating the postal
laws by sending an improper letres
through the mails TO Miss Layne. Several
witnesses have been summoned TO testify
In this case, among them the two letters
carriers who are thought to be able to
throw some light upon the question Of
whether or not Lamkin sent letters to
Miss Layne or received the notes written
by her and addressed to "A Good Fel-
low"
The Police Board will not dispose OF
Officer Lamkin's case until the grand

couldn't stop the hits, though, and the

BARLEY SHOWS THEM HOW.
In the sixth inning Barley Kain gave
an exhibition OF what a clever base

wanted to get TO second. As is usual

MANY CRIMINAL CASES.
A Scheme That Did. Not Work.
Water supply.

GREENvILLE, n. c., April L-Cspe-
cial.)--Pitt county Superior Court Is now
In session. Judge E. t. Boykin presiding,
and more criminal cases have been tried
this week than in any single week for
several years.
Yesterday morning three colored men,
named Theodore jenkins, Lanier jenkins,
and George Davis. were arraigned for
the murder of Patrick Whtehurst, a
young white man, at Bethel, on January
11th. To-day the Jury returned verdict
against them Of guilty OF murder In the
second degree. and they were sentenced
to twenty years each In the penitentiary.
The principal In the murder made his es-
cape and 10 still at large, but these three
convicted men were accomplices. The
evidence at the trial showed that several
negroes had conspired together to beat
whitehurst. They followed him on the
street. taunting him with insolent songs
and trying to provoke him into a diff
Guilty. Finally. just as he. had entered a
store and turned 70 ask what question
had been addressed to him. one OF the
negroes stepped up and struck White
hurst a fatal blow on the head with a
cudgel. Whitehurst lived five days after
being struck.
DID NOT WORK.
Last night an alarm Of fire was raised
in the county jail. A crowd quickly
gathered and the Sheriff with several
citizens went inside. The smell OF burned
cloth was very pronounced, but care
ful search failed to disclose any fire.
The odor came from a cell occupied by
two negroes. who the day before had
been sentenced to seven years each in
the penitentiary for highway robbery.
1t is believed they set some clothing in
their cell on fire and raised the alarm,
thinking to make their escape amid the
excitement when the jail should be
opened. They were dressed, ready for
taking their departure.
WATER SUPPLY.
March Sd the citizens and Town Corn
ell held Joint meeting to discuss the
question OF water supply for the town.
A committee Of citizens was appointed
to investigate the cost OF a system OF
water-works and report to the Council.
This committee has just made its report,
giving an estimate OF cost and recon-
mendng the construction OF system
for fire and domestic use. The Council
adopted the suggestion and the matter
will be pushed TO completion.
