Louisburg, N. O.. July 29.-(SpeciaD-
Perhaps few words about the dispen-
sary would not be out of place. For the
of July the sales will be more
than 5000 This is all in cash as they
keep no '.books." During this time the
arrests have not been so per cent of
what they were for the same time before
it was opened and there has not been
a drunken man arrested in the town dur
ing this month. These two statements
are those Of the Chief of Police.
Many of the country people who were
violently opposed to the system have
undergone a change of opinion and now
favor it.
The sale of new crop tobacco will be-
gin next Tuesday in all the warehouses;
Rains recently have very much improved
the crops of all kinds.
The Farmers and Merchants Bank a
few days since declared a semi-annual
dividend of four per cent.
A young man by the name of Leonard
aged about 10 years was drowned in

He IS GUILTYOF MURDER
A YOUNG BANKER CONVICTED OF POISON
ING taS WIFE.
She Was an Herness and Her Property Was De-
sired by the Husband Who Was in Love
With Another Woman,

Batavia, n Y, July 29-Howard C.
Benham, yosing banker of this place,
was today fou$d guilty of murder in the
first degree.
Benham w9s remanded for sentence to
Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, when it
is probable his counsel will make a mo-
ton for a ntw t.ial.
Benham did not seem to fully realize
the force os the situation at first. As he
was leaving the court room it seemed to
dawn upoG him in all its horror. His face
grew deaaly white, he tottered and
seemed about to fall. His attorneys gath
cred about him and walked with him out
of the room.
The BSnham tragedy began with a ro-
mance-she elopement on August 2. 1892.
Of Miss Florence Tout, an heiress, and
but 16 years of age. Howard G. Benham
at thatrtime was % years of age.
In december last Mrs. Benham was
taken Seriously i'll and on the morning of
Januaty she died. Benham gave out a
statement that death was due to rheuma-
tism of the heart. Two days later, owing
to various rumOrs, the coroner decided
W iX'ft an autopsy, tHc result OI WHICH
was statement that death was caused
by strophy and degeneration of the mus
cuhr tissue.
Later rumors became current that
Benham had purchased prussic acid, and
MRS. Benham's body was exhumed and
the various organs removed for exami-
nation. AS a result, the coroner's jury re-
turned verdict that the death of Mrs
sBenham was caused by "hydrocyanic
acid of prussic acid poison administered
by her husband
Benham was indicted and was placed
ON trial June q. AS to the motive for the
crime, it was said that Benham desired
to be free from his wife, not only that he
might inherit $4,000 that she possessed,
but that he might marry young woman
with whom he was said to be desperately
in love.

HOPKINS UNIVERSITY
THE INCOME OF THE INSTITUTION SER
I0USLY AFFECTED.
The Decision of the Court Leaves Out Its
Supposed Preference Right in the
Assets of the Road,

Baltimore, July 29.-Judges Golf and
Morris, in the United States Circuit
Court to-day handed down an opinion in
which it was decided that the Johns
Hopkins University and other holders of
$3,0OO,OOO Of first preferred 6 per cent.
stock of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
were not preferred creditors, as was con-
tended, and that they are in the same
category as the other stockholders. The
decision of the court, if it is upheld In
the higher tribunals, where it is under
stood it will ultimately go for decision,
will seriously affect the finances of the
Johns Hopkins University and cause ma
terial change for a time at least, in the
projected plans of that institution. The
trustees of the University hold nearly
a million of the preferred stock, from
which it drew an annual income of more
than $4,000.
