SENSATION AT CLAYTON.
Young Married Woman Makes Grave
Charges Against Siberian Peddler.

Young Married Woman Makes Grave
Charges Against Siberian Peddler.
Clayton, N. c., Nov. 1S.-(Special)-
Clayton had somewhat of sensation
today stirred this easy-going, but
always busy burg, into considerable ex-
citement. Early this morning Mrs.
Pearce Brady, a comedy married wo-
man, who lives a few miles in the coun-
try, came to town in company with her
husband and informed the authorities
that on yesterday a Siberian peddler-
two of whom have been selling their
wares in the community for several
weeks-had, during visit to her
house, made improper advances to her
and had by force caressed her. Inc
Deople of the town were lncensed ana
Immediately a warrant was issued for
the offending peddler, and officers over
took and arrested him some five miles
from town. He was brought back to
CLAYTON, carried before a magistrate,
where a hearing of the case was begun,
and Mrs. Brady made her statement,
after which her husband went on the
stand and stated that his wife had told
him of the occurrence when he got
home from work last night. The peddler
went on the stand and denied the en-
tire story and stated that when he
knocked at the door he was invited in,
the lady told him that she did not want
10 buy anything then; that perhaps
when he came through again she would
buy something from him. He took from
his pocket small, cheap pin and gave
it to her and also gave her one for her
baby, expecting that perhaps when he
came again she would make some pur-
chase. He remained but a short while
when he babe her adieu and left, and
never, at any time, offered the slightest
insult. Meantime the other peddler was
waiting in the yard for him. The ped
der told a very straight, plausible story
and those in attendance on the trial
seemed inclined to believe him. The
case was adjourned over until Satur-
day morning when other evidence will
be introduced.

THE VERISCOPE LAST NIGHT.
A Good House Witnessed the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons Fight.

The modern veriscope is a great scien-
tific invention, and the modern prize
fight is a great scientific fistlc encounter;
and when one is produced by means or
the other the effect ought to be thrilling,
and a few years ago it would have been
so. but this is a rapidly-passing age, and
while the veriscOpe is without doubt the
most wonderful picture-taking and re-
producing process of this or any other
age, still even SO great scientific wonder
as this in this day and time is regarded
as a sort of a natural consequence.
Several hundred people sat in the
Academy of Music last night and saw
every motion, every moving of muscle,
every blow that was struck, every step
that was made in every round that was
fought at Carson City between the
worlds foremost gladiatOrs OF the
gloye-Fitzsimmons and Corbett. Saw
it all Just exactly like it happened eight
months ago, and yet there was little
marvel or wonder, and hardly, one might
say, due appreciation OF this wonderful
development of science. The world
knows all about the fight, how it began,
how it ended, and the people who nave
seen the veriscope know just exactly
how it looked.
This wonderful photo gathering ma
chine took, during that short contest,
1873, 900 pictures, or about forty pictures
to the second, on one continuous film
nearly three miles long. So rapid were
these pictures taken that not motion
made by the combatants is lost. There
is some slight lack of mechanical perfec-
ton which gives an uncomfortable culver
to the whole scene, but the whole focus
of photography and reproducing is
wonder-ene of those wonders that Edi-
son has snatched from the electric cur
rent, and one perhaps that is only
pointer to still more miraculous cleo
trical discoveries that the wizard of
Menlo Park, and his co-scientists will re-
veal

JUDGE ROBINSON'S EXPLANATION.

"And they all began, with one &C
cord to make excuses" Judge Robin
son writes to friend that he has never
accepted a pass as judge, and has USED
them only when travelling on business
connected with the defunct Wilmington
bank % which he was once Receiver.
If this is true, and until the evidence IS
before Wayne court we accept 1t as
true. it does not alter the fact that
Judge Robinson has knowingly helped
the Wilmington and Weldon railroad to
violate the law. 1t is in his favor that
he did not draw the $3.50 from the
State Treasury sin lieu Of travelling ex-
penses" and then accept passes. That
would have made him accept money that
was not honest. His explanation ac-
quits him of that conduct, but it is no
justification.
The law is plain. No railroad is per-
mitted, under severe penalties, to give
free passes to public official. The fact
that railroad had deposits in a de-
funct bank cannot alter the law, or make
it lawful for the road to transport an ex-
receiver free. The tact that Judge RIB
inson made no charge as n witness in
court, or for other services, does not IN
any way alter the legal status. The
Federal government is able TO pay its
witnesses, and f Judge Robinson went
to Wilmington as witness for them, it
was his duty to prove his attendance
and let Uncle Sam pay the freight. He
admits that he knew the Jaw did not
permit the roads to give him pass as
judge. If he is lawyer enough to be
on the bench, he also knew that the
law did not permit the road to give him
a pass as long rs he was a public ofhcer
for any purpose.
The action of the grand jury in
Wayne is due to Judge Robinson's de-
sire to stamp out the free pass evil. Let
the good work 20 on, even Il it takes in
every public officer in the State.

world Almost every woman believes that
she possesses at least some one attractive
feature and strives to make the most OF that.
But mere regularity OF feature Is not the
most attractive form of beauty.
Mankind is more Influenced by the bright
glowing vitality of perfect health. A classic
cast of Countenance will not make a woman
attractive and captivating, if she is pale,
thin, weak and nervous, or has pimply
complexion or unwholesome breath.
These complaints are due to impertect
nutrition. The digestive and blood-maklnS
organs fail to extract the needed nourlsh-
ment from the food, and the liver is too slug
gish to cleanse the blood of bilious 1mpuri
ties The entire constitution becomes weak
and poisoned.
The only perfect antidote for this state OF
things is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical DIS,
covery. 1t gives power to the digestive ana
nutritive organs to make an abundance OF
pure, rich, highly vitalized blood, which
perneates the whole system with the sweet

Mr.. WHlTNEY'S PREDICTION--THE IS
NO HALF WAY HOUSE.

William c. Whitney. who sailed for
Europe a few weeks before the election
in New York in order not to become in
yolyed, now that the Democracy has
riumphed without his aid, has returned
to America. Like the rest of the boilers
of 1896. he talks gljbly about Democra-
tic prospects as if he had any place in
the leadership Of a party which he de-
serted in its greatest conflict for true
Democracy since the days of Jackson.
IF the Democracy is true to itself it
will resume control of the nation in
1900" was his expression to a Journal
reporter as he stepped off the steamer.
He went on to tell the reporter that
the issues were sure to change, and that
the silver question will be eliminated
from the Democratic platform. He is
just as near the real situation as Banker
Blair was when he said the politicians
Of the Democratic party in North Caro-
lima were getting ready to drop the
silver question. A man cannot stay be-
hind bank counter or make frequent
trips across the Atlantic and keep posted
with the sentiment of the rank and file
Of the Democratic party.
The issues of the campaign OF 1900 will
De the same as the issues of 1896 plus

tion, which has given the people stone

when they asked for fish. The record
Of the Republican party will illuminate
the truths of the Chicago platform. The
prosperity promised has reached nobody
outside the trusts, or those who get the
drippings from the abundance given to
the trusts and monopolists.
The truth is that men like Mr.. Whit
ney, who for twenty years and more
have been accustomed to see the Demo-
cratic leaders defer to the wishes Of
New Workers, have not yet recovered
go fhe establishment which they re-
ceiyed in Chicago in 1896. They have
not learned that the sceptre has de-
narted from the Empire State, and that

not want any more victories that bring

ney and Hill and the rest of them will
learn before 1900 that the New York
