ALL OF THEM ACQUITTED.
The Parties Charged With Burning the
Town of kinston.

The Kinston Free Press devotes four
or five pages this week to the evidence
in the case of Redmond Joyner, Bob
Williams, Ross Joyner, James Ii. Collie
and 3. n Fields, on the charge of burn
ing =. n. Fields stables February 2S,
1895. 1t occupied a whole week.
Messrs. a. j. Loftin, o II. Allen, Y. j..
Rouse and II. f. Shaw assisted the
solicitor in the prosecution. For the
defence there were Messrs. c. Il. Ay-
cock. L. j. Moore and T. &. WOoteu.
State Senator Mewborne was fore
man of the jury. The Free Press says:
We were not able to hear the speech
90 of the lawyers, but from the com
rments we have heard on them we do
not doubt they were the best speeches,
ON both sides, ever delivered in a Lee
noir county court. There was not a
single poor speech. All of them were
good. The speech of Mr.. Aycock for
the defence was a very powerful one,
it was eloquent and pathetic and APP
pealed powerfully to the sympathies.
We can't learn who made the best
speech for the State; some say one,
some another; everybody says they
were all fine. Solicitor Richardson in
the closing speech made real good
one, that showed up well even beside
the fine efforts preceding.
The Judge completed reading his
notes of the evidence about 10 o'clock
Tuesday night, and delivered his
charge to the jury yesterday, the jury
getting the case 25 minutes to II. The
Judges charge was praised by all as be-
ing fair, strong and eloquent.
The case has certainly been fought
hard and ably on both sides.
The court house has been crowded
every day, and during the argument
and the Judges charge there was but
little more than standing room. Many
ladies have been present.
The jury brought in a verdict little
before / o'clock, acquit~ng all of the
defendants.
The Judge said, You have the salts
faction of having turned loose four
very guilty men; poor encouragement
for law-abiding people to come TO a
court of justice"
Most of the people of this communi-
ty believe the defendants are guilty.

NO ISSUE BUT TO BEAT THE DEMO
GRATIS.

We have recently printed the views
of the Winston Republican and the
Caucasian in regard to Fusion. The
Raleigh paper was the central organ
in 1894, and the Republican the West
ern arm. The Eastern arm of the con-
spiracy was the +. City Carolinian.
That paper is strongly in favor OF
Russell for Governor and a divided
electoral ticket. 1t says this arrange
ment would defeat ''the common
enemy" and asks:
''And isn't this the vital issue IN
North Carolna?"
That it is. There is no issue on
money, tariff, taxes, good government.
The only thing is to beat the Demo
Gratis. This is frank avowal OF
abandonment of principle.

THE RALEIGH & CASTOR CHAR
TER.

The people of North Carolina in the
early beginnings of railroad building
apparentlv never contemplated their
management by outside parties. In
fact they took particular pains to pro-
vide against such contingency, and
they Have always felt that they had a
right to have a voice in the manage
ment of the roads they had chartered.
This has been particularly true OF the
Raleigh & CASTOR road in which the
State long owned an interest. For
more than thirty years no man eX-
cept a citizen of North Carolina could
be the president or Edirector OF that
road.
Section 80, of Chapter 25, of the Laws
of North Carolina, 1885, is as follows:
Be it further enacted, That no per-
son shall be eligible as president or
director of said company unless he be
n resident citizen of this State.
At the session of 1866-67, (see chap.
1O9, D. 1889, it was enacted that, mas
much as the State had parted with its
stock, the Individual stockholders
should be empowered to elect the
seven directors required by the char
ter, but it was prescribed that each
director shall be stakeholder in SAIL
company, and shall be citizen OF the
State of North Carolina"
At the session of 1871-72, (see chap.
2. page p an amendment to the char
ter of the Raleigh & CASTOR railroad
was passed which omitted the re-
ouirement that the president and
directors should be citizens of North
Carolina. prescribing only that they
should be stockholders.

A greater number of suicides was
committed in New York city last year
than in any other city in the world
says the Philadelphia Press. The list
Of suicides for the year comprise 458
victims, taken from all walks of life,
and varying in age from children of
less than Is years TO men and women
nearly 80 years old. This list is the
largest on record in this city, although
the percentage of suicides TO the en-
tire population is lower than in some
previous years. Nearly every walk
and coy nook in Central Park has at
one time or another been the scene
of some suicide. a grim record of
these events is kept at the Arsenal. 1t
shows that over one hundred suicides
have been committed in the park dur
ing the past three years. At certain
seasons of the year there is an average
of more than one suicide a day with
10 the park limits. Few suicides are
committed outdoors in cold weather.
Statistics show chat over sixty per
cent. Of all the suicides in New York
have been committed by Germans.
Experts in such matters account for
this by saying that the Germans are
so much attached to their native land,
~ 4 suffer such homesickness in New
III. that it amounts to suicidal
mania. The record of the motives for
committing suicide is very hard 10
keep. In most eases there seems TO he
absolutely no sufficient reason, and the

Had the sound money Democrats
swung into line with the Republicans
in crushing out the free silver heresy
there would have been some show of
reason in their demand that the tariff
question be eliminated from the field
of present discussion, and the united

rected to the defeat of Bryan, the
fight on tariff to be resumed when
the battle for sound money was
fought to a successful issue. This the

leave the Republicans to their own
fight, at the same time fiinging the
free trade banner to the winds and
attacking the protective policies of
the Republican party. This is per

been received from having been
thrown from a tenement>house where
she lived with her husband and

how it happened, but the police theo-

house in quarrel or disturbance of
some sort must have thrown her to
the ground, where she was found
about a. m. Her own room, being on
the ground floor, it is clear that she
must have been elsewhere when the
