(SigneD MARTIN THORN"
There is every probability that the
case of Thorn will go to the jury not
later than Wednesday next and possibly
Tuesday night. VIM. f. Howe, Thorn's
lawyer. has promised to finish his side
of the case on Monday. Thorn will
testify in his own behalf and accuse
Mrs. Mack Of killing Guldensuppe. Other
witnesses for the defense will probably
be Mrs. Zeigler, of West Farms, Of
whom, it is alleged, Mrs. Mack, with
Guldensuppe, wanted to hire a house
the negotiations failing because the
house did not have sewer, and Her
man Mack, Mrs Nack's husband. 1t is
a question whether Mack will be allowed
to testify against his wife, when she is
put on trial for her life. 1t is under
stood that after the defense closes Mrs.
Mack will be called by the prosecution
in rebuttal to repeat her confession and
accuse Thorn of the murder.
District Attorney Youngs did not
want to put Mrs. Mack on the stand
again, because she made an unfavor-
able impression on the jury at he first
trial as she related the details of the
horrible crime. If Mrs. Mack is called
again as a witness for the State, it will
be because the district attorney is COM
PEELED to take this course to offset the
statement of Thorn when he charges
her with the killing.
Mr.. Youngs says the reason he closed
the case for the State without calling
Mrs. Mack as n witness was because, in
his opinion, the people had presented
a case strong enough to convict Thorn
without the woman's confession. Dis
trict Attorney Olcott, of New York.
concurs with Mr.. loungs in his opinion.
When Thorn's fate has been decided
Mrs. Nack's case will come up. 1t is
generally supposed that she will be al
lowed to plead guilty either to murder
in the second degree, or manslaughter
in the first degree. For murder in the
second degree she would receive a SEN
tence of Imprisonment for life and for
manslaughter in the first degree the ex-
trme penalty is twenty years.

FAGOTS OF LIGHTWO0D
FOR MURDER OF A YOUNG WHITE
MAN, THANKSGIVING DAY.
HE WAS WEARING VICTIMS GARMENTS
Was Also Seen Driving the 0x-Cart in Which
Murdered Man Was Last Seen Alive
and S25 in Money Was in
His Pocket,

Wilmington, n. c., Nov. 27.-On
Thanksgiving day, Nathan Willis, col
ored man living near Town Creek,
Brunswick county, was arrested on the
charge of numbering young white man
by the name of Stephens. Stephens was
found in the vicinity of Wample, n. c.,
with n gunshot wound in the back.
Thursday night a mob was raised by
the farmers in the country near the
Wacoamaw river. Willis was taken
from the sheriff, carried into the woods
and chained between two pine trees.
Lightwood was then piled around him
and he was burned to death, thus suffer
ing an awful death TO pay the penalty
for his terrible crime. Suspicion at once
rested on the colored man who had been
seen in neghboring communities wear
ing some of Stephens's garments. Tie
had also been seen driving the OK cart in
which the murdered man was last seen
alive, and S25 in money was found on
his person, that it was supposed, he took
from his victims pockets.

Ihe korWaerts says:
"A tariff war begun by the United
States or Europe would be answered 10y
closing the markets of the United States
of America. The first count Of the
measure of the powerful, big republic
across the ocean would be the embracing
of all American countries, including per-
haps the English colonies there, into
pan American tariff union, by which the
United States would create large and
assured fields for supply and sale and
would narrow the export of their adver-
sares still further"
The Cologne Gazette, discussing the
continuance of the deficit in the receipts
of the United States, says:
"The new office of Commissioner
Kasson, (the United States reciprocity
commissioner, under these circumstances,
appears to be more than a regular re-
cruiting office to induce nations to come
there, for commercial treaties would of
course stimulate the imports Of the Uni
ted States and consequently the tariff
receipts"

for the United States show an unmistak.

AS TO DEPUTY COLLECTORS.
A Final Decision Sent out by the De
partment Touching Their Appointment

A Final Decision Sent out by the De
partment Toucnlng Their Appointment.
Washington, D. c., Nov. 27.-Acting
Commissioner Wilson, of the Internal
Revenue Bureau, has issued the follow
ing circular to all collectors of internal
revenue:
by direction of the Honorable Sec
retary of the Treasury, you are hereby
notified that until otherwise ordered, eX-
iSting rule relative to appointments of
deputy collectors must be complied with.
You will at once take steps necessary
for compliance with this order, making
your acquisitions for certification for orr
ginal appointments under civil service
rule s, for reinstatements under civil
service rule 8, through this office"
This rule, it is said, is not in conflict
with the views hitherto held by the De
partment with reference to the removal
or appointment of deputies by collectors.
In the case Of Collector Brady, at Rich
mond, Va, the Department held that
n collector is not bound by the law to re-
appoint the deputies Of his predecessor
in office, and tha vacancies thus made
should be filed by appointments from the
eligible lists furnished by the Civil Ser
vice Commission, or by restorations. The
collectors in some districts contend that
they had legal right to make their own
selections for filing vacancies, but THE
view was not sustained by the depart.
ment except as to districts where no
eligible list existed.

A GRAVEYARD FREAK.
A Child Recently Buried is Taken up and
Left Undisturbed-Th Second In
stance.

Hickory, N. c., Nov. 27.-(Special)-
On Thursday night a mysterious crime
was committed at Earney's chapel, in
Burke county, about three miles from
this place. Several days ago a small
child died of diphtheria in that neigh
borhood and was buried in the grave
yard adjoining the chapel.
This morning parties passing by the
spot saw that the grave had been OPEN
ed. Upon investigation the coffin was
found standing upright in the grave.
The coffin had been burst open and con-
tained a few leaves The body was IN
it, undisturbed except that the clothing
was disarranged. Not the slightest clue
exists as TO the perpetrator of this work
of midnight desecration. No motive
can he found for the crime. There was
nothing missing from the corpse to indi-
cate robbery.
Sometime ago another grave in the
same church-yard was opened in the
same mysterious manner and the coffin
found in the same position as in the
last case. In the first instance it was
a woman's grave that was broken.
