Mr.. H. l.. Wootten, of this city, in
forms us of distressing revelation
which came about through the removal
Of the body of his uncle, the late Mr.,
Charles Wootten, of Centreville, Pitt,
county. Mr.. Wooten died about FIVE
years ago, and the other day his broth
er-in-law, Mr.. Jos. May, disinterred the
remains to place them elsewhere.
Both the box and the coffin were
found in a good state Of preservation,
but one side of the coffin was found to
have been forced off-to have been for
ced with such violence as as to break
the screws, and Mr.. Wooten's body,
instead of being on its back in which
position it is absolutely known to have
been buried, was on the side with the
face toward the part of the coffin which
had been burst open.
There seems to be but one solution
Of this state of affairs, and that is that
life was not extinct when Mr.. Wooten
was inferred, and that he revived be-
fore death came, and struggled
sufficiently to rend the coffin in the
manner described.-Newbern Journal.

Iowa Republicans.

DEs MONIES, March 1o.-A hard
fight has developed ,tp night agains,
Clarkson, for delegate at large and i,
is barely possible he will be defeated.
The fight, however, is aimed more at
his defeat for member Of the national
committee than for delegate. Enthu-
siasm for Allison runs high. The dele
CATION will be instructed for him for
President, and platform will be writ
ten with the view of his standing on it
before the nation. Jacob Rich, Of
Dubuque Allison's home manager,
came here with the outline of a plat
form, but it will probably not be adopt
ed. ltwas of broad scope, and in its
place, the plan now is to adopt a gener-
al resolution calling attention to ALI
sons public record as the best plat
form which a candidate could stand
upon. This will dodge the embarrass-
ment Of a declaration of the currency
question, which was the serious weak
ness of the Rich resolution.-Star.

WEEK IN CONGRESS.

Last Thursday in the Senate the
conference report on the Cuban resolu-
ton was presented, the report being
that the Senate recede from its disa-
greement to the House resolutions and
accept them as substitute for its own
resolution. On that day were passed
twenty-five bills of minor Importance.
In the House the debate pertained
to fixing the salaries of the U. S.
Marshals. The bill making National
military parks fields for drill for the u.
5. Army was passed; also bill ap-
propriating $96,ooo for the reconstruc-
ton Of bridge over the Mississippi
River at Rock Island I'll.
On Friday after seven days considera-
ton OF which the fee and salary system
was part the Legislative, and Judicial
Appropriation Bill was passed. AS the
week progressed, the Senate showed an
inclination to go slow regarding the
Cuban resolution; and on Monday
Senator Hale of Maine spoke vigorous
ly against it. Senator Hoar offered a
a resolution postponing all action until
April 9th. In the House all of Monday
was devoted to the District of Colum-
bia business.
The action of the Spanish minister
in correcting or qualifying though The
public press, statements made in the
Senate on the subject of the war in
Cuba, was condemned by the Senators
on Tuesday, many joining in the dis
cussion. This day in the House
was consumed in small appropriation
bills.
Mr.. Hoar's resolution to postpone
action on the Cuban Resolution until
April 9Th, was discussed in the Senate
on Wednesday but final action was not |
taken. The Post Office Appropriation |
Bill was passed ia the House.

The connection Of Messrs. J. Pierpont
Morgan & Co., with the Baltimore and
Ohio system as its reorganization is
now generally predicted. The Manu-
facturers' Record this week publishes
an editorial which contains the follow
ing extracts:
"For everybody except the security
holders the receivership will be bene-
fetal. 1t will result in much needed
physical improvements, in large out
lays for betterments, and doubtless in
radical change ofpolicy ofgreat value
to the country tributary to its lines.
"Nearly two years ago the Manu-
facturers' Record published detailed
outline Of the probable future of this
road, predicting that it would pass
under the control Of Drexel, Morgan &
Co., now P. Morgan & Co., and be-
come in effect at part of the Southern
Railway system. This, we believe,
will be the outcome of the recognition.
When that has been accomplished Mr..
Morgan will probably have, unfortu-
tuately, gotten his control over the
system, thus adding one more great
company to the gigantic operations of
which he is the dictator. The Manu-
facturers' Records only objection to
this is that NV. Morgan is becoming too
much Of a dominating owner in rail-
roads and finance for the good Of the
country. There is danger ahead in
such power centered in one concern.
But this is depression.
"As the connecting link between New
York and the South the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad can be made Of immense
value to the 1900 Of 1o,coo miles Of
Southern roads now controlled by Mr..
Morgan. When this comes about there
will be grapple of the giants-the
Pennsylvania and the Morgan interests
fighting for control in the Southern
territory"

Affairs in Cuba.

General Weyler has experienced
many reverses this week.
He has been completely outgeneralr
led by Gomez and Maceo the Insur-
gent Generals,
The government report showed that
ne had the Cubans penned up in tri-
angle pen and yet the latter have brok-
en- from this pen and have escaped.
The Spaniards still have the control
OF the railroads but are unable to make
more than five miles per hour with the
trains on account of Insurgent interfer-
ence. The butcheries on the part Of
the Spaniards have become so frequent
and uncalled for that the Spanish Gen
eral has been compelled to order that
no non-combatants must be punished
unless direct evidence can be obtained.
The people Of Cuba are terrorized
and are leaving the island. General
Weyler has removed the alcades
from all the towns and has placed men
over them who are officers in his
army. These men have absolute au-
thority, and expect praise from their
general for all their inhuman deeds.

Fight With noonshiners at Kernersvilie.

WINSTON, N. c., March e-At Ker
nersville, N. c., eleven miles from
Winston, desperate fight occurred al
seven o'clock this morning between
Revenue Officers James Smith and
Walter Davis and Bob Jordan and his
son Bonner. The officers went to Jor-
dams home to search for "blockade"
whiskey. They found one keg under
his wood pile. As they attempted to
enter the house the father and son be-
gan firing on the revenue men, who
also began shooting After several
rounds had been fired by the combat
ants it was discovered that Bob Jordan
was dead and that his son was fatally
injured. Both officers were also ser
iously wounded. Both men, however,
were aOie t. taNc the morain, TRAN.
for Greenboro. Bonner Jordan, the
son, who is fatally injured, has been
regarded as desperate character for
several years.
Bonner Jordan died at 10 o'clock !:
three balls went through him. Both
officers are still in Greensboro, unable
to be moved. Their injuries are now
considered more dangerous than first
reported, especially Davis who is shot
in the groin. Smith and Davis are
from Stokes county, and and were
among the county's leading blockaders
a ewyears ago. They are plucky and
full Of energy. The Jordans were any
thing but cowards.-Star.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, March IA
special to the State Herald from Ge-
oeva says; lh.3i'lg nee reached here
this morning of series of horrible &C.
cidents in various parts of the county.
The daughter of Mr.. John Hahn, living
on the east side of Choctawhatchee,
was burning brush and her dress caught
from the fire. She lived about two
hours and died in intense agony. Her
father and sister who went to her as
sistance were, it is feared, fatally
burned.
Mrs. John Odom, feeble old lady,
living four miles north of mere, fell in
the fireplace last night and was ter
ribly burned, both eyes being burned
from their sockets, and her face and
breast scorched black. She will die.
Another woman living in the west end
Of the county, whose burning trash
when the high winds blew some sparks
on her dress and before help could be
given her she was burned to crisp.
She had laid her two-months- old baby
on the ground and was forced to watch
three large hogs devour the child alive
while she was suffering the death
agonies herself. This makes the sixth
death that has resulted from fire r.

gineers. Mcssrs. Klncaid Waller & Manvillc have
