tion last evening laboring under great ex-
citement. He told the officers that an Ar
menian who resided in the same house
with him had accused him of stealing h s
watch. The young man also stated that
the Armenian said he lost the watch a
week ago and that, he would cut the. heart
OF some one out IL the watch was not re-
turned. An investigation showed the Ar
menian was very drunk in his home and
that he had forgotten all about losing a
watch or threatening any one with disas-
ter IL il was not returned.
Although the man who robbed the
churches in this vicinity got away he
seemed to have not had an easy time Of

she could give no alarm until the fellow
was at a safe distance.

"The Rough and Ready Fire Company
gives the town better service for the
money expended than any town in the
country obtains for such small outlay"
These were the words spoken by Presi-
dent Beane of the Johnston Town Coun-
Gil at the Council session Friday when
the worth Of the company was assailed.
That Mr.. Beane who has been familiar
with the workings OF the organization
since its formation knows whereof he
speaks is not questioned Mr.. Beane, II
he saw fit could tell OF the horses he has
furnished without cost to the town TO
haul apparatus to fires during the past
eight years since the company first or
ganized with Samuel Il, Graves as fore
man. Ee could, IL he had been so disposed
and been inclined to ask the town to have
paid for what belonged to 1t to do, pre-
sented a bill for the almost total disabil-
ity of fine horse injured while drawing
fire apparatus TO the Thornton fire few
years ago.
Certain country residents who now tell
how they are taxed to pay for the ,olun-
teer fire company have presented bills for
damages done TO their horses in way far
more questionable and they have received
remuneration from the treasury OF the
town.
The insurance rates on the homes OF
every property owner and on the house

tory east of the Killingly and Plaintield
roads extending to the city line nearly

teer fire company in Johnston.
No one is authorized to say as much
rs "thanks" for the use of horses, and
the town has been the gamer simply be-
cause no charge has ever been made.
The fire alarm Is sounded daily from
time furnished by an electric clock paid
for by ex-foreman Beane Many small re-
pairs and incidental expenses are met by
the present foreman as we'll as his pre-
decessors and many things the town is
properly under obligations to pay are fur

ter received from a distinguished citi-
zen of Indiana, he would quote the fol-

some of our western boards Of trade
upon the Bankruptcy question was,
that by reason of the nearness of our
merchants to their customers, they
had an advantage with a Bankrupt
debtor"
The writer, Mr.. Henderson said, was
Benjamin Harrison, who, as President
or as private citizen, stands for every
part of this country and for all its

INTERVIEWED IN PORTSMOUTH
Vice.President St. John of the S. A. /,
is Seen by Correspondent.

Portsmouth, Va, May Especially
I'm an interview held with Vice-Presi-
dent Il. st. John, of the Seaboard Air
Line at headquarters, it was learned
that several places other than Hender-
son are after the shops of that road,
which have been located in Raleigh for
a long time. Just what places they
are Mr.. St. John would not say nor
could it be learned outside at this
writing. In the interview, however,
which was held by a correspondent, the
yice-president said there was a very
neat competition between the several
places after them, and that delega-
tion from each is now awaiting to be
advised by the road of date upon which
they can urge their respective claims,
He also stated that the road would not
receive Raleigh's committee now, but
would in the future name a date upon
which they may be met. The Hender-
son people are the only ones so far that
have been heard. When asked if they
met him by appointment last Wednes-
day, Mr.. ST. John would not say that
they did not. When asked pointedly If
the burned hops would be rebuilt in
Raleigh, his only reply was that the
total losses of the road incurred by
their burning had not as yet been fully
calculated.

PEARL BRYAN mUR0ER- TRIAL
The Defence Trying to Prove That She
Was Killed in Cincinnati.

Newport, KY, May lin the Jack
son trial to-day, the first witness called
by the defnse was undertaken William
Abbott, who embalmed the body Of
Pearl Bryan. He testified that he drew
a quart and a half of blood from the
veins Of Pearl Bryan. On cross-ex-
animation, he was asked If he was not
drunk when he embalmed the body
and if he had not now been on d pro-
longed spree. He denied both.
The drift OF the testimony for the de-
Tense to-day disclosed a purpose to
show that Pearl Bryan, though be-
headed in Kentucky, was first killed in
Cincinnati and then taken over to Ken
tuclxy and beheaded This, if success
full, would set the prisoned free, as he
could not be tried for the same offense
in Cincinnati. Manifestly the theory
of the defense is that Pearl Bryan was
chloroformed to death unintentionally
in Cincinnati and then taken to Ken
lucky and beheaded to escape the pen
atty for such an accident.
