exciting finish. The judges took the
race away from Malvolio on account
Of a foul committed by Scherrer, NAL
volio's jockey, in the stretch. The race
was practically a two horse affair, as
Malvolio and DR.. Black were five
lengths in front Of the field from the
half mile ground N. When the pair
turned into the stretch both jockeys
made for the dry path, near the outer
rail, and then came the exciting part
of the contest. Both boys drew their
whips and it was a battle royal until
within a few yards Of the wire. Here
Scherrer let go of Malvolio's head,
causing h horse to swerve and carry

presumed hat this was Intentional on
the part Of Scherrer and gave their de-

Especial to The Messenger.)

Especial to The Messenger.)
Raleigh, n. c., October 21-The peni-
tertiary directors today unanimously
decided that DR.. Kirby Smith, son of
the superintendent, had been guilty Of
the grossest immortality with two OF
the female criminal insane; hat the
charges against him were fully proved,
and DR.. George l.. Kirby and Superin-
tendent Smith were commended for
promptly discharging him as supervi-
sor.
The board also decided to place the
penitentiary absolutely in charge of
the executive committee, composed of
Directors Chadbourn, Martin and Cot
ten, thus taking control entirely out
Of Superintendent Smiths hands. Smith
made no protest, but submitted to all.
He is now only nominally the superin-
endent. His submission is all that
saved him, as but for this he would
have been deposed. All the officials
and employees who have their families
in the penitentiary are ordered to
move them Immediately. No bills are
to be paid unless approved by Chair
man Dockery and two executive COM
mitteemen. There will be a complete
o~verhauling, and all surplus employees
will be dropped.
It was decided hat the penitentiary
should not be leased as the general
sentiment in the state is strongly
against leasing.
Chairman Dockery says an excellent
showing was made by Superintendent
Smith as to farming operations and that
after paying the debts there will be
$4,000 surplus, putting cotton at a
basis of 5 cents, and that there will be
also plenty Of grain and feed for an
other year.
A proposal from a Petersburg firm
for convicts to make shirts in the pen
itentiary was referred to a committee.
1t was decided that all incompetent
employees should be dropped and the
penitentiary not made a refuge for
office seekers.

Spain to Regard Filibustering as Violation

filibustering expeditions will be rewarded
as breaches of International law. Such.
at any rate. is the substance of his in
s~istance, Though it is just possible that
the form in which they will be carried
into effect may modify their import.
A very bad impression has been made
here by the news from Havana that a
majority Of the important industrial,
commercial, mining and railway and
stes mship enterprises in Cuba are being
rapidly converted into foreign companies,
chiefly American and English. 1t is
feared that this may enable the COM
panief to claim damages from Spain for
losses during the war. Perhaps a further
reason why these are seeking English

ting which will follow immediat eiy on
