Lees Murderer Won't Re Hung

The Messengers Raleigh special of Wed
nesday stated that Governor Russell had
committed to life Imprisonment the death
sentence of Lunnon Haynes, colored, who
was twice convicted of the cold-blooded
murder of young John Lee, at
Whiteville, August 6, 1895. At the spring
term Of Columbus county superior court
Lunnon Haynes and his uncle, Jim Hay
mes were convicted of the murder of Lee,
and they were sentenced to be hanged.
On appeal, the supreme court, however,
gave them a new trial, and at the August
term of the superior court, Columbus
county, Jim Haynes was allowed to plead
guilty of murder in the second degree
and was sentenced to thirty years in the
penitentiary. Lun Haynes was convicted
of murder and was sentenced to be
hanged September oath. Governor Rus
sell, however, reprieved him till Novem-
Der 5th, so his testimony could be used
in the prosecution Of other parties in
dicted as accessories to the murder.
Haynes was to have been hanged today,
but the Communication of his sentence
saves his neck.
Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Henry Len
non, of Whiteville, brought Lun Haynes
to Wilmington on his way to Raleigh, to
commit him to the penitentiary for life.
The prisoner was kept in Jail last night
and will be taken to Raleigh this morn
ing. He seemed quite uncOncerned about
the matter.

Greatest Fortune on Earth

New York Dispatch, Oct. 3D.
Fritz Rumbold walked into the office
of Lawyer Marcus Marks, 10 Broadway,
a few days ago, and said he had informa-
ton which would clinch the claims Of
clients of Mr.. Marks to their share of a
fortune estimated at $50, 900, 600.
The history of the claim runs back we'll
into the last century, and to the fortunes
of a couple of Dutch youths, James and
Jacob Cronkheit, Of Krankheit, who
came to this country to seek their for
tune after the revolutionary war. Both
settled in Duchess county and became
prosperous farmers.
The tradition among the descendants
of the is that they had a
wealthy brother in Amsterdam, Kasper
Cronkheit. who, having been ~disappoint-
ed in love early in life, had become q
misanthrope, and had put his mind ex-
clusively on the gathering of money. and
amassed a fortune of $40, 0OO, 900. At his
death it was found that the money was
left in care of a bank in Amsterdam, to
remain intact for 100 years, and that it
was then, with it's accrued interest, to be
divided equally among the descendants
OF his brothers,. Jacob and James. Eighty
millions is deemed by the heirs a moder-
ate estimate of the present fortune,
though at 5 per cent. compound interest
1t would amount now to $500, 900, 900.

in the body, then blew his own brains
out, falling dead.
In a statement. the 8-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Smith said: Uncle

said to me: Mama loves Jim Barton

The s. a. L's Dif~rential Passenger Tariff

We have received a communication
from the general passenger agent of the
Seaboard Air Linz regarding the recent
cut in passenger rates and from it we
extract the following:
The Seaboard Air Linz has made no
cut in passenger rates, but has simply.
for its protection and for the benefit of
its patrons, adopted a d~ifferential passen-
ger tariff which reduces rates on the all
rail rates S2.e while the combination via
Portsmouth and steamer ines beyond
makes a larger reduction. This is no
fault of our tariff. but on account of ex-
listing rates which have been long since
accorded the water lines between Nor
folk, Portsmouth and eastern cities. The
time, however,, via the latter route is
longer We have made repeated applica-
ton for a differential to lines forming
the associated roads Of Virginia and the
CaTolinaS and the Southern Passenger
Association; but our application has been
referred to some other association and
the "other" association has referred our
application to the rate committee which
causes further -pcstponement, and up to
the present time We have received no
encouragement from either association.

were closed up today and all the mem
bers Of the state committee have gone
to their respective homes. Before leav-
ing, however, Chairman Murray Van
diver gave out the following state
ment:
LAS far as the joint convention of
the general assembly is concerned, the
matter is not entirely settled, and will
not be until the official returns are
made up. In regard to the house of
delegates I am still OF the opinion that
the democrats will have a majority in
that body and will organize it. The
election in several of the counties is
SO close that it is impossible to tell at
present which sid has o and l be-
lieve a recount will be demanded in
Montgomery county by the democrats,
who claim hat they have elected at
least one, and possibly tWO members
of the house, while the republicans
claim that they have elected all three.
A recount may also be demanded in
Talbot and in Carroll counties to de-
| termine the result with certainty. At
any rate, we have not given UP our
| expectation of controlling the house,
| whether we have a majority on joint
| ballot or not.
The democratic candidates who
| have been defeated in the close cOun-
ties, nave been in many instances
| noted as anti-GOrman men, while in
| the same counties the German men
have been elected. In one or two in
| stances which 1 could specify these
men were cut simply because they were
not believed to be German men. This
| shows that the t1-GOrma Outcry did
not hurt the democrats in the u
| ties, for there the senator has always
had his stronghold. To a large extent
| / am more convinced than ever by the
result Of this election that the anti
| German sentiment is almost entirely
| confined to the city of Baltimore, and
that the democrats of the counties are
measurably free from it. In my Opin-
ion, even if it should turn out that
the senator is defeated, he is stronger
today in the country districts of the
state than he ever was"

Especial to The M~essenger.)
Raleigh. n. c., November Am the su-
preme court today there was argument
in the case of Harriss and others VS..
Wright and others, involving Whining
tons city government. Under the act OF
1897, giving the governor power to appoint
five aldermen, there was a requirement
for the election of an equal number.
The chief contention was first upon the
constitutionality of the act, and second
if the act is declared unconstitutional,
which of the claimants other than
Wright, who claims, under the act is
entitled. Ricaud contended that the
state constitution conferred upon the
legislature plenary power to pass the
Wright and his board are entitled to the
offices they hold. Green's attorney ar
gued that the act was wise in SO far as
the power Of appointment is concerned,
and that ten members Of the board of
aldermen were elected in 1897, a majority
of whom elected Green mayor. Taylors
attorneys commended that the act was
void in the same way, but that only five
aldermen were elected. a majority of
whom elected Taylor. Harriss' attorneys
contended that the whole act was void,
and that the old board held over by rea-
son of the failure of our election. This
case is said to have no parallel in the
United States.
