Montgomery county last week was re-
ceived bv Revenue-Collector Simmons
to-day. Turner, who murdered Moihtt'
vas allowed 10 do the shooting without
onv interruption. for the report says
Nofitt lost his life by not being READY 10
holm shooting. 1t seems he did not
think Moonshiner Turner was "bad
man" Turner had been drinking
heavily. had worked himself into
frenzy, and had sworn during tne day
no one should enter his house turner
was killed, having been shot three times
Moffitt leaves seven children.
MAD REPUBLICANS.
Tho Republican "underlings" are doing
n lot of swearing here, because, as they
assert, the Popuiists are being given so
many offices. The Republican leadeIs
are feeding the Populists literally now,
so as to keep them in good humor and
induce them TO help elect gold Re
publican senator. Republicans say II the
Populists behave well about this matter,
and do not make trouble, the Republi-
cans will divide offices very freely with
them.
Five convicts from Beaufort county ar
rived at the penitentiary to-day.
II IS learned that In thirty days the

FEDERAL COURT.
In the Feneral Court to-day the case
of a negro named Lane, employed by
factory at Durham, came up. lie was
sent to the post-ofiice after mail, ano
opened letters containing money. The
contention OF the defence IS that as he
was duly an agent Of the addressee OF
the letters alleged TO have emoezzled
opened. &c. and as II was done outside
Of the post-oflce after delivery TO the
agent. this court has no jurisdiction, but
that the case is cognizable in the state
courts; that the delivery to the agen'
of the ADDRESSED IS the same as de
liverv to the addressee himself.

The circus blackguards have

Yesterdays Star.
Nobody but an arrant fool will
believe that any member of Wirth's
circus is BLACKBOARD. They
have always behaved as gentle
men should, and have extended
courteous treatment to all whom
they have come in contact with,
either in a business or social way.
If for no other reason than the
fact that this combination is GO
ing to give a benefit to two highly
beneficent local organizations
the Maternity Home and the
Young Hawaiians' Institute the
Star should at least act towards its
members In gentlemanly manner.
The Star has already done all in
its power (Which is not much) to
ruin the business prospects of
this amusement enterprise. There
fore, knowing that it cannot
harm Messrs. Wirth and Cameron,
as their engagement is practically
at an end, its continued abuse
must be an undetermined slap at
the Maternity Home or the
Young Hawaiians' Institute. AT
all events, the Stars mercenary
motives in its attempted "roast-
ing" of the circus have been so
fully exposed that hereafter,
even when it may chance to be
on the right track, the public will
take but little stock in its utter
anceS.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH A, 1896.
SALVATION ARMY.

Lieutenant Egner, leader OF the
Hawaiian contingent of the Sal
walton Army, called upon the edi-
Tor yesterday in connection with
the American mail reports of
trouble in that great body. He
said that most of the sensational
reports in the American press
about the Army were either manu-.
featured or grossly exaggerated.
There was in reality no trou-
be in the American branch
of the Army. Probably there was
a certain degree OF patriotic feeling
here in favor of an independent
American organization, but there
VAS no fear that it would develop
into separation from the parent
body. In proof of his statements
he left a copy of the Pacific Coast
sdition of the War Cry,
containing full page letter sign
ID, in autograph fac smile, by
Ballington Booth and his wife
Maud Booth. The letter is a
powerful document, but the great
ar part of it consists Of exhortt =
ton TO the American officers and
troops, to whom it is addressed.
With reference to the immediate
subject of Commander Booths re-
call. the letter contains the follow
ing paragraphs:
We deeply regret that the news
that we have received orders from
the International Headquarters to
relinquish our command in Amer
lea should have reached you first
rs rumor, and then as the state
ment of the press. 1t would have
been fitting for you to have been
gathered together in council, and
Told by your superior officers, or
to have received the first intima-
ton through the War Cry. This
unfortunately was impossible.
Still more do we regret the fact
that incorrect statements have ap.
peared in print, which have con.
SANITY been contradicting each
other, and that the bare statement
of the fact that we are to hand
over our command has, like the
groverbial SNOWFALL, gathered so
much as it has rolled that it has
bscome utterly useless to try and
contradict and correct many OF
ne misapprehensions of the press.
1t is true that this news came
upon us, as it undoubtedly did
upon yourselves, as surprise.
We learn, however, that the change
II command in this territory is
only in unison with many other
changes being made at the present
time throughout the world, and
HAT the decision has been recent
IL made by the General that ter
ritorial moves shall be at started
times. This being a rule,
which is to be enforced through
sut, America, naturally, has to
come within the regulation, and
though many of you may be
tempted to look upon this change
from the purely American side of
observation, it must not be for
gotten that it has a worldwide
side alone.
Ever since we have been Saliva
tionists we have embraced and adj
Eanced with earnestness the abso-
lute importance of the military
side and aspect OF our movement.
The organization being military,
must naturally have within it that
most valuable Of all requirements,
OBEDIENCE.
In our long and happy warfare
together, our officers and soldiers
have readily and gladly moved at
our word of command, feeling
sure in their innermost hearts
that we have ever held their in
terests before us, as we'll as the
good of the field, and that we
have sought in every possible
