f;cer Lambeth made the arrest on the
strength of a description Of the rapist,
"D. Davis" in the News and Observer on
July Both. George Davis, the man sus-
pected, he said, returned to Raleigh
week ago and was skulking around when
arrested. He answers to the description
given Of ID. Davis, and is an old resident
of Raleigh. He left here last September
and went to Norfolk. From the 10th Of
September, 1896, to July /, 1897, he was
able to give a minute account of himself.
But about July 1 he left Norfolk and
came south, and is not able to give a sat
isfactory account of himself afterwards.
Then the mayor related the incident of
the release of Davis by the Chief Of Po-
lice, on the receipt of telegram from
the sheriff OF Chowan county, saying that
the man wanted had lived in Edenton for
six years. This, of course, precluded the
possibility of George Davis being the
man." said the Mayor. "But on account
of the gravity of the offense | consulted
Judge Clark and had the man re-arrest-
ed, habeas corpus proceedings having
been instituted before his release. / am
satisfied George Davis is not the man
wanted. A number Of people here have
known him for twenty years and repre-
sent him to be an inoffensive man."
George Davis said he was not guilty Of
the offense charged and that he had al
ways lived in Raleigh until September /,
1896.
Chief of Police Norwood was then sent
for. When he came into court, Judge
Clark said:
''It came out in the evidence in this
case that while in charge of this prisoner
you allowed him to escape"
Il released him in the Mayors alb
sence, sir, because l received telegram
which convinced me that he was not the
right man." said Mr.. Norwood
'But there were habeas corpus pro
ceedings pending"
Il knew nothing of that sir"
at makes no difference; you had iEm in
custody of the law and no one, except q
judicial officer, has power to discharge
him. I'll have to bind you over to court. v
"All right, SIR
"Can you give bond for SCOOP
II cam
HE is in your custody, Mr.. Sheriff, un-
til he gives bond"
Then Judge Clark wrote out the de-
cision above given.
Mr.. Norwood went Immediately to the
office of the clerk of court and gave a
5000 justified bond.
There the matter rests until the Board
of Aldermen meets this afternoon.

TRIED TO DRAW COLOR LINE.
But the Fusionists on the Committee
Were too Strong.

There was a strong effort in the Popu-
list committee to have the color line
drawn in the address issued yesterday.
But the lovers of Republican fusion for
office sake were in the majority, and
their counsel prevailed So in the ad-
dress nothing was said about lynchings,
about negro magistrates, school com
mitteemen and deputy sheriffs. Nary
word about it in that wonderful do
cument, though there was some pretty
plain talg about it in the conference.
Speaking on this very point yesterday,
Mr.. John A. Sims, chief clerk in the
Auditors office, and a member of the
Populist State committee, said:
THE address is good so far as it
goes, but it doesn't go far enough.
wanted the color line drawn. 1t is bound
to be drawn. We have made a mis-
take in this respect, and l predict that
the next convention will see and correct
it. This is going to be an issue in the
next campaign, and | want to put myself
on record in regard to it. l urged it
upon the committee, but they didn't see
fit to put it in the address. Otherwise
than in this particular, / am well sat
isfied with the result of the meeting"
Congressman Fowler talked much in
the same strain '"The address is about
all that could have been expected under
the circumstances" he said. 'If / had
had the writing of it / would have made
it a little stronger in some particulars,
and put in one or two things that have
been left out. The meeting was an ex-
ceedingly harmonious one. There were
some fellows in it that have not been
doing exactly right, and we shelled them
hard and heavy, but they stood it like
little men and never had word to
say back
Congressman Strowd Il am pleased
with the address issued. AS to the
drawing Of the color line the committee
couldn't do that. The convention will
have to attend to that matter when it
comes to make the PLATFORM
State Auditor Aver: "Oh, the ad-
dress is a good one But we are going
to follow it up with a campaign Of educa-
ton. Senator Butler is now out making
speeches; within the next week or two
others will be doing the same thing The
committee has flung our banner to the
breeze, now we are going to shout and
hurrah under it. The negro is dead
issue, and no party could now resurrect
that question if it tried"

DEATH OF REV. DIR. MAPLE.
The First Pastor of the Christian Church
in Raleigh Dead.

The Christian Sun Of this week an
nounces the death of Rev. DR.. James
Maple at his home in Bennington, Ohio.
He was the first pastor of the Christian
church in Raleigh, and was a singularly
gifted preacher. He was also a devoted
Odd Fellow. The Sun says of him:
'There is not reader of the Sun who
will not be panied to learn of the death
of this faithful servant of God. During
his stay in the South as pastor of the
Raleigh Christian church, he made host
of friends wherever he went. None knew
him but to love him, none named him but
to praise And his friends and admirers
were not confined to his own church
alone; hundreds of others came to hear
him preach, and joined the throng of
those who appreciated most
During his ministry in the South his
congregations were numbered by the
hundreds; during the past several years
they have been numbered by the thou
sands-through the columns of The
Christian Sun. Faithful has he been; and
every week many a heart has been
blessed by his words of truth and of life
We feel his death as a personal loss, and
our deepest sympathy goes out to his dear
wife and to his host of friends and rela-
tives who with us share in the sadness of
this dark hour"
