From the New York Press.
Raleigh, \. c., Jan. 10.-Either con-
Wet w. f. Harris is hero or an inn
nostor. and Governor Carr would really
like TO know which he is. Strong Ell
forts are being made to have Governor
Carr pardon Harris, but the Executive
refuses to do SO unless Harris tells his
real name. Governor Carr fears that
Harris may be an habitual criminal,
though the convict claims to be in
prison for first offense. Harris clans,
moreover, to be related to well-known
Southern family, and says that he will
die in prison rather than reveal his
own name and so disgrace his relatives.
Harris is IS years of age. He is SEN
fenced TO five years in the Peniten-
tiary for stealing $500 from man in
Wilmington. He was brought here
and sent down to the State farm in
Halifax county. In an alteration
with a guard Harris knocked down the
guard with pick, and in return was
shot in the breast.

The ball injured some of the muscles
near the heart. and the physician said
that he would die. Harris was told that

Quoted in July, August and September, 1894,

laid off as agreed, but others were COM
PEELED to remain at their posts and lose
their salary. They presented claims for the

ordinance which was defeated. Yesterday
morning the same arguments were repeated

sition after further investigation, and the
ordinance was passed without objection.
Ordinances were also passed by which the
bonds Of hack drivers were. reduced from
5000 to 500, and by which the west boundary
of the hack district was extended from
Twenty-fourth street to Twenty-eighth street.
This compels the hackmen to carry one
passenger to any point east of Twenty

The resolution authorizing the employ-
ment of two additional clerks in the office

BINkLE

Charles Binkley, Thirty-fourth and Frank
lin streets, yesterday morning reported to the
police that he was held up at Thirty-third
and lizard streets at $50 o'clock Wednesday
night by two men and robbed Of S31.
Binklcy Is in the employ of the local gas
company, and Wednesday drew his salary.
This has led the police to believe that the
robbery was committed by some one who
knew Binkley. Binkley, however, is not
able to give much of a description of the
men, saying only that they were both short
and dressed in dark clothes.
Binkley was held up while on his way
home. He says that he was accosted by the
two men, who asked him II ne mad seen a
horse straying about. In the course of the
conversation the men came close to the
horse upon which Binkley was astride and
suddenly one seized him by the leg and
pulled him to the ground. The men then
went through his pockets.
