muRDERAT SCOTLAND NECK.
A Young Man Kills Another at the
Knitting Mills.

Scotland Neck H. c., Feb 49, (Spe-
cial. Yesterday morning rs the
mayors court was ready to open at
9:30, to continue the testimony in the
case OF Robert Moore for assault on
Samuel james, news was brought to
the court room that James had just
died lie had not spoken since Moore
struck him with paddle in the dye
room of the knitting mills about
eighteen hours before
he father Of the stricken boy had
Deen sent for from his home, near
Hobgood. Mr.. James had come and
remained with his son until 8 o'clock
the night before when he returned
home to carry the sad news Of his sons
critical condition.
The sister Of the wounded young man
remained with him, almost frantic in
her grief and reproducing herself al
most for the sad blow that had fallen
on her brother, as she had been in
strumentai i'm securing him place m
the mills.
When the news reached the mayors
Office that James was dead, new
warrant was issued against Moore and
read TO him, charging him with as
saulting with a deadly weapon and
killing James The same witnesses
who testified on the evening before
were called. AIlsbrook and Brady
suoic and subscribed to their written
testimony the day before. Stephen
Ellis, the colored man who was work
ing in the dye room with James and
" ho was the only witness that saw the
whole affair was examined by Mr.
Claude Kitchen, counsel for the prison
en-. His testimony was substantially
what it was the day before.
Moore was turned over to Officer
Duen, with a commitment TO the
county Jail, to be tried in the criminal
court next week.
The morning train from knston
was some two hours late by reason
Of the deep snow, so Officer Duen got
the prisoner off to jail at once. Much
sympathy is felt here for the family
of the young man who was killed, as
well as for the good mother and sis
ters Of the prisoner Moore.
Both Moore and James were under
twenty yeas Of age, and James was the
brother Of newsboy James who was
killed by another newsboy at Hob
good two years ago The father Of the
dead boy returned on the same train
that took Moore TO Halifax, and later
Mr.. James telegraphed to Weldon for
County Coroner t. f. Gray to come
and hold an inquest. The coroner
came and summoned a jury Of inquest

following compose the jury Of inquest:
vi. IL. Whitmore, J. w. Bell, j. r. PAUL,
&. Speed, +. W. Fenner, and n. ~ Hy-
man. The inquest will be held and

The experience of lire past two years
lYrs rot, nor is there aught in it calcu-

d few days since in the Senate, the CON
vic4ious of men in the party OF ac-
ll,1osvledged ability, loyalty and pa
triosis1u, are not to be lightly discard
Cd or cast aside. They are entitled to
respect, and they must find within the
Democratic organization a medium Of
expression.
The party in this State must not fail
IN the discharge Of its duty as an edu-
Gator, and at the same time an expo

people. The Democratic party must
find the way, the medium for meeting
and wisely dealing with the conditions
by which it is confronted. There must
be no intolerance on the one hand or
trifiing Dn the other.
1t behooves all who desire and appre-

and patriotism in the present crisis.

THE ~Do NOTHING CONGRESS

o,.,.s,,e,,,sasnt Of the stateyille
4 ' ~. writing from Taylorsville,
..bieh town is famous because it is
the home of Romulus Zig-zag Linney,
says:
Congressman Linney arrived home
Saturday night on few days visit to
his family. Nh. Linney talks freely of
affairs at Washington. He seems rather
inclined to think that little win be
done by the present Congress outside
Of passing the appropriation bills"
Can it be possible that this man who
talks calmly about "the present Con-
gress" doing little outside of passing
the appropriation bills" is the same
man who grew red in the face in the
fall Of 1894 denouncing the 'tdo-noth-
ing Democratic Congress, and promis-
ed, if elected, to bring relief to the
people? Where has his indignation
against the do-nothing policy flown?

Let the good work go on!

The bill to make eX-Confederate
soldiers eligible for service in the
United States army, which passed the
Senate with a rush, seems to sleep the
sleep of death in the House. When
war was supposed to be imminent,
there was much desire to let the OK
cloud has passed away, the desire to
Confederates be shot at. Now that the
war cloud has passed away, the de-
sire to prescribe him seems to be as
strong as ever.

Who Settled Here In 1887.

Wichita has many so-called old set
tieds, but the majority OF them date
their settlement from the early seven
ties. but the city was visited yester-
day by a gentleman from Bates county,
No, who was probably the first settler
in Sedgwfck county, and within the
present limits of the city.
The man was Mr.. II. II. Nicholas. who
was on his way to visit his son John
Nicholas at Ktowa- Mr.. Nicholas is re-
lated TO DR.. Stever and George Jones OF
the Golden Eagle clothing store, and
ar old time personal friend OF Professor
Naylor.
He called at the Eagle Office last
night 10 pay his respects 10 the Eagle.
and during his conversation as 70 the
improvements Of the county. he stated
that he had first settled at Wichita, or
rather al the junction OF the two rivers,
in 1857.
At that time he was travelling with a
party OF hunters and when they had
crossed the Little river they came upon

Newt Stage Asks That an Injunction be

Newt Stage Asks That an Injunction be
Issued Against Rival.
IN. Stage commenced injunction pro-
cedeings IN the district court yesterday
against L F. Baker. The suit Is an
odd one, and has only one precedent IN
this county, although many like suits
have been commenced over the country.
MI. Stage alleges that Mr.. Baker has
purposely attempting to flch from him
a profitable business which he has spent
years of time in building up.
Mr. Stage has a bicycle repair shop at
237 North Main street and is doing a
prof. table business under the title OF
Wichita Novelty Works" Besides re-
pairing bicycles, he makes keys, re-
pairs umbrellas and does. IN fact. nearly
every kind and character OF repairing
and some manufacturing.
Now he alleges that Mr.. Baker has
opened up a similar business at 227
North Main street, five doors below him.
whdih he has named Tho Novelty
Works This business name, Mr.
Stage says, was originated by him and
has been the business name OF his enter-
prise for twelve years. He alleges
that Mr.. Baker hs Is swung the name out
over MS door and that his purpose IN
doing so IS TO deceive the public by
making them believe that the business
carried on within is that which has been
built up by him. / ~. Stage He says
that he has given a great deal OF his
time and labor building up the busi-
uess of the wichita Novelty Works,
nd that it has cost him q, great deal of
money n advertising 1t and in giving
il q favorable reputation He says
that the people of Wichita and southern
Kansas have become acquainted with
the name and that .aid general reputs-
ton is OF considerable value to him.
He thinks he should have all the advan-
tages of the name and should have them
exclusively. He thinks that 1t is by nc
means right or just that another man
should come in during the last six weeks
and take advantage OF the name under
which his business has been built UP 10
a prosperous condition He, therefore
asks the district court 10 enjoin Mr.
Baker from using the name or any name
similar 10 1t and wants the Injunction
to be made perpetual
