AN INNOCENT MAN HUNG.
SAD STORY OF A STAUNTON MAN
WHO WAS EXECUTED THIR>
TY YEARS AGO.

The Staunton Daily Time.
prints an interesting story show
ing that circumstantial evidence
is not always safe and reliable.
The story comes from the Ports
mouth, Ohio BLADE, and the gist
Oft is as follows:
Thirty years ago butcher
named Traper was hung at
Staunton, Va, for the murder OF
an old bachelor, whose name was
Coleman. He was convicted on
circumstantlal evidence. He
claimed he was innocent, and
died with the plea Of innocence
on his lips. There were a few
who believed him, and these few
took up the case where the au-
thorities and public left off, and
after years of hard, persistent
work, established it. And it was
corroborated by a confession to
the murder made by Meredith
Workman, a big Sandian.
Workman stated in his con-
fession that he and a man by the
name of CulloWay, and others
that he did not name, went to
Staunton, Va, to rob a inan by
the name of Coleman. While
on the way to commit this rob-
berry they passed butcher shop
and took from it a hammer or
hatchct. Arriving at Coleman S
house they demanded his money,
and lie refused to give it up.
Galloway being hot-telnpered
man, struck Coleman with the
hammer and killed him. They
left the hammer near the dead
body. AS soon as the murder of
Coleman became known the
butcher, whose name was Tray
er,was arrested upon the strength
of his hammer being found near
Coleman. He was tried, con-
victed and hung, although he
stoutlymairtained his innocence.
1t may be some satisfaction to his
relatives and friends to know
that he was really innocent Of
the crime for which he suffered
an ignominous death.

Great Town Builders.

Rocky Mount Argonaut:
Great industries play an i'm
portant part in building up a
town but they are not SO val>
liable, neither will they build up
a town so quickly or on as solid a
basis as will smaller industries.
The South has been badly in
jured by the steady drain of its
money to the North rendered
necessary by this section not
having manufacturing plants to
turn our own raw material into
articles needed here and which
vc now have to purchase from
the outside.
The live go-ahead cities and
towns of the South have been
made so by the establishment of
manufacturing enterprises with>
in their borders, and we find
that the places with a large
number of small factories are
growing much faster and are
more prosperous than those with
a few large ones.
Now the question is how to get
factories established in a town.
We will answer: by CO. operation
of its live citizens. No matter
how many advantages a town OF
city may have, the chances are
against outside capital coming
to it without its citizens help te
bring it there. Capital is being
invested in too many places in
the South for the men who pos
ses> it to have to hunt up place
to invest it. When the advan'
tage of SO many places are being
kept before their eyes they natu
rally think that the towns wh'
keep in the dark have nothin,
to recommend them.
| Thorough advertising of ou
resources and our people show
ling a willingness to co-operat
with those willing to establisI
Industries will bring enough G
them here to put this town o
the high road to prosperity.

Yeopim Union Meeting.

The Yeopim Union met with
the church at Salem, Pasquo-
tank county, N. c., on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday last. In
troductory sermon was preached
by Rev. y. P. Jordon, from End
Tim -, I:I2. Very few
churches of the Union were rep
resented by delegates, owing to
the inconvenience and long dist
ance to be overcome in reaching
the church. There were only
three ordained ministers present,
but by having the hearty CO.
operation of the lay brethren,
the meeting was quite success.
Everybody seemed to express
themselves as having enjoyed
the services we'll. The meeting
was harmonious throughout,
there was no jar nor discord to
make even a ripple.
Elders Jordon, Elliott and
Burfoot did the preaching to the
edihcation of their hearers.
The missionary sermon was
preached On Sunday by elder
Burfoot from these words, "Bear
ye one another's burdens," to a
large and appreciative audience.
The Union was closed OH Sunday
evening by a mass meeting in
behalf of the Baptist Orphanage,
with a good collection. The
meeting was handsomely enter>
tanned throughout by a generous
and hospitable people. The
delegates and visitors will long
remember their trip to Salem as
one of the most pleasant they
have ever enjoyed.
The next session of the Union
will convene with the church al
Ariel, Gates county, N. c.
Those churches who failed to
send their contribution for the
various objects of the Union
will please forward them at once
to the secretary at Newpor

The storm was probably the
worst even known in our history.
The situation in East St. Louis
is one of gloom and misery.
There is some fear expressed of
an epidemic of disease among
th@ homeless near the river.
Under the ruins is a vast guam
tity of decaying animal and veg
etable matter, which is sending
pestilential clouds up through
the debris. The sufferers are
weak from exposure and exer>
ton, and are in no condition to
fight the malaria that is breed
ing On the island. Another
problem is the almost unani-
nous refusal of the sufferers to
leave their belongings and oc-
cupy the military tents which
have been pitched at Brighton.
In spite of the presence of the
militia it is feared their goods
are not safe, and they refuse to
leave unprotected all their earth
ly belongings.
Although thousands of men
have been at work night and day
clearing away the wreckage in
the path of the tornado, they
have scarcely made perceptible
impression towards restoring the
chaotic confusion to anything
like order. Passage-ways have
been made through some of the
principal thoroughfares, it is
true, but for the most part the
streets are still choked with the
battered remains of homes and
factories, hospitals and churches.
The path of the storm is fully
a mile and a half wide. 1t start
ed away out in the suburbs of
the city, where beautiful homes
of people of wealth are located.
Taking zig-zag course it ran
down through where the densely
populated tenement houses are
located, fully six miles and
crossed the river.

people, including one lady, on
board. AS she struck the water
the cradle slipped to one side,
and the boat heeled over and
sank in ten minutes.
Those on board jumped over
board, those who could not swim
ashore being picked up by the

kindness to publish the follow
ing:
l am not a politician and take
no stock in such matters, but l
am an astrologist and constant
ly watch the stars, and by them
find out the destiny of men and
nations. l will not attempt to
explain to your readers the
science of astrology, for they
cannot understand it. But l am
going to tell you what the stars
have to say.
Ever since the first of April
there has been strange move
ment among the stars. They
say that Grover Cleveland is
man of greater destiny than
Napolean Bonaparte He is 60
ing to suddenly change his views
On the financial question. He
has been under the spell of a
powerful hypnotist for the past
few years, who has been employ
ed by Wall street and the bank
ers of Europe to influence him.
This powerful spell is going to
be broken by most mysterious
influence, I cannot understand.
The next Republican National
Convention is going to break up
in big row. The next Demo-
cratic Convention is going to
declare for the unlimited coins
age of silver at I6 to 1. Grover
Cleveland is going to be nomi-
mated by acclamation and will
be elected by 100 electoral votes,
and his third administration
will astonish the whole civilized
world. julie Carr is going to be
elected Governor of North Caro-
lima by a majority of $4,000
votes. The Populists and DEM
ocrats are going to fuse and
sweep the State from the m un-
tains to the seashore. Cuba is
going to gain her independence
in six months and Spain is go
ing to get into a short but lively
war with the United States on
the first of August, the United
States gun boats will vigorously
lombard the city of Havana,
Gen. Weyler will be killed in
this terrific battle.
The English, French and
German press will be exceeding
hostile to the United States.
There will be wars and rumors
of wars but the United States
will steer clear of war during the
closing months of summer and
fall months there will be un-
usual phenomena both on land
and sea, and the whole world
will be in a state of intense ex-
element. The churches all over
the United States and Great
Britain and Ireland will be
thronged with worshippers and
preachers everywhere will be
proclaiming the advent of the
millennial dawn.
Please don't put this in your

During a balloon ascension in

and carried up distance of 800
feet, when he fell and was killed

with other helpers, was told to
exercise care, but the old man
failed to get loose from the ropes
in time.
