be. They have been carrying on coz

law, the third which was inscribed on
the tablet Of stone The state of Kansa s
plagiarized from Moses in 1861 and went
him one better by substituting "profar-
iiy'' in their statute. and somewhere

tia thought it was good thing, and the
city fathers enacted it into an ordin-
ance.

Settled at the Council Meeting Next
Monday Night.
On Monday night during the rain storm
there was an executive session held il
the apartments of Messrs. Bachelor, Ao-
bot, Currier and Kersney in the Metro
pole hotel and the committee On streets
and franchises. composed of Messrs. J.
F. Reese, chairman; ]. NJ. Allen and Geo.
L. Young. Mayor Ross and City Atsor-
Eey Adams were also in attendance.
The object Of the meeting was to come
10 an agreement between the street car
company and the city. 1t is said on the
very best Of authority that the railway
people wanted to sell their property to
the city. The statute does not make any
provision for city ownership of street
railways, although the last legislature
passed law allowing cities Of the frs.
class TO purchase water works and gas
or electric light plants for their OWE use.
The fact that there is no law allowing
the city TO purchase the railway stopped
any deal Of the kind, had the city been
willing TO enter into such a bargain
When this was made known to the rail-
way officials they made the following
proposition: If the city would remit the
$4,000 pavement tax which the company
owes the city on back taxes they would
repair the road by putting in new rails,
new cars and giving the present road
general renovation.
II is alleged that the company make
the claim that they can abandon all their
hres outside Of the paving district and
Sill! hold their franchise. This is disput-
ed by the members Of the council and
other citizens who are thought to be con-
versant with the facts in the case
The present owners obtained control of
the road in 1888. Ever since they have
owned the property they have paid with
promptness the assessment for the nav
Ing between the tracks. The s13 000 and
interest which they desire to have can
ceIled was owed by the old company on
the paving assessment The uresen.

olction or authority TO enter into anv
contract with the company, but their
sanction is necessary before the matter

CT VIII meet next Monday night. when

ARRESTED FOR STEALING
Beautiful Kansas City Girl Arrested Yes
terday for Stealing q Ring.

The handsomest young woman ever be-
hind the bars in the city prison was there
| last night. 1t was beauty in distress and
from the chief down to the turnkey each
| felt sorry for her. Miss johnson Of Kan
sas City came TO the city on last Friday
| and visited with some estimabie people
residing on Water street. She was ar
! rested yesterday by Messrs. Woods and
Sutton charged with having stolen a dia-
mond ring from a Miss Hill in Kansas
City. Word was received from the chief
iEg that an officer would arrive this
morning and ne would take Miss john
son TO Kansas City.
The story that Miss johnson tells Is
that she and Miss Hill We're both taken
with the charms OF Kansas City young
gentleman He at first seemed to favor
Miss Hill and he gave her a diamond
ring, which did not cost over s25. Miss
Hill and the gentleman in question had
lovers quarrel and he got the ring back
and gave 1t to Miss johnson. When she
left Kansas City TO come here to visit
she brought the ring with her. Miss Hill
became jealous and had her arrested.
That is her story.
Miss Hill told the officers in Kansas
City that they roomed together in fash
ionable boarding house IN Kansas City.
and that one day when she went to wash
her hands She took the ring off of he,
finger ard placed 1t in a RECEPTACLE on
the dresser. Miss Hill says that Miss
johnson stole It from her and soon eft
for Wichita.
Miss Johnson is young lady with a
beautiful face and a Venus-like figure,
and is OF intellectual appearance. She
was ricely dressed and has all the indi-
cations of a lady of refinement. She
does not appear to be over 20 years of
age. If she turns out 10 be guilty it
would seem that laws sometimes go by
contraries. She says she is innocent and
will accompany the officer to Kansas City
without having TO get out requisition
oaners She will 90 east this morning.

HOPE OF sOUTHERNERS.

About to Fall Their Way.

About to Fall Their Way.
The nomination of Col. A. E.
Buck, of Georgia, to be. Minister to
Japan had the effect of raising the
hopes of the Southern Republicans
who have been waiting patiently
around Washington for recognition
ever since the inauguration, says the
Washington Post. They have the
the assurance that the President will
within the next few days devote
considerable attention to Southern
appointments.
Col. A. D. Cowlea, of North Caro-
lima, who is an applicant for the
mission to Greece, went home yester-
day with the assurance that his
name will be sent in shortly.
Other Nor;h Caroiinians who are
here, and hope to make a political
landing before many more days roll
around, are: John G. Dancy, who,
it is said, has good reason to expect
the appointment ofRecorder ofDeeds
for the District of Columbia; Henry
G. Dockery, who is credited with the
Collectorship of Internal Revenue
for the Fourth District; Winston
McLaury, who expects to get the
postoffice at Charlotte; e1- Represen-
tative Brewer, who was a candidate
for the Marshalship of the Western
District, which was given to MIR.
Millikep, and who has the promise
of something equally as good; DR..
W. H. Wheeler, formerly postmas-
ter at Winston, who has the promise
of receiving his old place again; A.
E Holton, who now has no opposi-
ton in his candidacy for United
States District Attorney for the
Western District since Col. NJ. L.
Mott withdrew in his favor; J. f.
Shepherd, a colored politician of
Durham, who is a candidate for
Fourth Auditor of the Treasury; 0.
J. Spears, who was elector- at large,
and has the support of the entire
delegation for United States District
Attorney for the Eastern District,
and II. A Gudger, who was can
jidate for the Brazilian Mission, and
now has little hope Of landing, as
he was given to understand that this
place has been practically promised
to ex Representative Cooper, Of

COMING TEf CHERS' ASSEMBLY.
Innovations in the Work of the Con-
vention-s New Department Work.

Correspondence of the NEWS.
RALEIGH, April 5 The next
se<s of the North Carolina Teach.
ers' Assembly meets at Morehead
City, June 18th. The work of the
session will be conducted differently
from that of any session yet held.
The most important innovation is
in the introduction of departmental
work. Half of each day will be de-
voted to the study of the subjects
taught in our public schools and
academies, special emphasis being
given to methods of teaching these
subjects most successfully. Each
subject will be handled by teacher
of distinguished ability and expe-
rience. There will be informal dis
cussions, and the opinions and expe-
riences of all can be heard and dis
cussed. There will also be classes
in Elocution, Vocai Music and Draw
ing; and lectures on School Law and
Civil Government. All of these
departments will be presided over by
teachers from this and other. South
ern States who are in thorough
sympathy with our Southern people,
and who fully understand the con-
ditions and needs of our schools and
eachers.
Special departments are being
organized for the County Examiners
and other school officers, college pres
idents and professors, city school
superintendents and teachers, acad-
emy and high school principals and
teachers, primary teachers. Each
department will be in charge of a
committee appointed especially to
prepare a program that will inter-
est and instruct those engaged in
that particular work.
The Convention feature will be
managed differently, and is expected
to be more interesting and profitable
than it has been possible to make it
heretofore. Questions will be DIS
cussed that will interest all classes
of teachers aud intelligent citizens.
The speakers will include leading
educators and others-among them,
some of the leading business and pro-
fessional men and editors Of the State
So that the question of education
and its influence and effect upon the
professions and business interests
will be discussed from every stand
point.
The evening, or Culture" lectures
will be of such nature as to instruct
ard entertain everybody. The
pleasure feature will be looked after
with grea est care, and the musical
part of the program will be COM
plete.
