A Murderin Edgecombe.

TARBoRo. N. c., May IA white
man named Fred Keel was killed by
poisoning at Conetoe, small station
near here, yesterday morning. Another
white man by the name of Afford, a
truck farm overseer, who had been
criminally intimate with Keels wife,
instigated Ben Fields, a negro farm
hand, to give Keel a capsule contain
ing i've grains Of strychnine, from the
effects of which he died in two hours.
Both Afford and the negro have been
arrested and incarcerated in the county
Jail here. Crime has been rife in this
county of late. The criminal court
held here last week convicted of man
slaughter a IA year-old boy and a
youth of 10 years, each for the killing
of a playmate quite recently.

Horrible Murders.

DENVER, Col,. May 1S.-Advices
reached here to-day to the effect that
William II. Hamilton, contractor, his
wife, Mrs. Catherine Hamilton, his son
Lee Hamilton, aged 10, and his daugh-
ter Elizabeth S. Hamilton, aged Is,
who lived in Denver until recently,
were murdered near Helena, Mon,
three weeks ago and the crime was
suppressed in order to enable the
Montana authorities to trace the mur-
derers. Mr.. and Mrs. Hamilton were
found dead in bed with their throats
cut; Miss Hamilton was also dead in
bed with her throat cut and many
bruises on her body. Lee Hamilton
had evidently made desperate fight.
His body was literally covered with
wounds. All the fingers of his right
hand were severed, showing that he
had grasped the razor or knife. His
throat was also cut. Footprints near
the house showed that two men were
concerned in the murders. The house
had been raDsacked and it is believed
that the murderers secured ABOUT $500.

THE PENSIONERS TO BE PAID.
Colonel Carr to Advance the rioney to the
State.

RALEIGH, n. c., May 1S.-Colonel
Julian S. Carr, Of Durham, writes to
State Treasurer Worth to know the
amount of pensions carried by the
'omnibus" bill which the lieutenant
governor failed to sign and which con-
sequently failed to become law. 1t is
understood to be the purpose of Colonel
Carr, whose liberality is so widely
known, to pay this money. The state
treasurer informs him that the amount
is $5,697, covering $50 pensioners. He
notes the interest of Colonel Carr in
the matter with very great pleasure.
OF course the legislature two years
hence would reimburse Colonel Carr
for the payment, as it was the earnest
purpose that the bill should become a
law.
The railway commission met today
and took up a large docket of cases.
There were present of railway officials
A. B. Andrews, II. NJ. Emerson, ]. w.

matter of chief interest is regarding the
reduction of telephone rates.

A negro of prominence writes the
state superintendent of public schools
and attacks the new public school law.
He says: at is the most Objectionable
of all to the negroes. The act might
have been entitled an act to take from
CIlc leSlOtS tlS COULlOl vi lIcll puUllC
schools. We considered the control Of
our own schools the highest compli
ment ever paid us by the white people
of our state. pay my respects to the
white people for practically giving the
negroes lands, building them school
houses and, last but greatest, giving
them complete control. Yet the white
men paid 90 per cent. of the money.
Deep down in the hearts of the negroes
is the highest possible gratitude to the
white people for this priceless heritage
the common schools. We want two
out of the committeeman in every
township and then to have control of
our own schools. We will make this
complete restoration of shools lead
ing issue in the next campaign"
The state fusion Legislature enacted
the law. The state superintendent.
declares this negro is in error in the
of it.

Presidents rlessage.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Presi-
dent to-day sent the following message
to Congress:
To the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatives of the United States
"Official information from our con
suls in Cuba establishes the fact that a
large number of American citizens in
the island are in state of destitution,
suffering for want of food and medi-
cines. This applies particularly to the
rural districts of the central and eastern
parts.
"The agricultural classes have been
forced from their farms into the nearest
towns, where they are without work or
money.
''The local authorities of the several
towns, however kindly disposed, are
unable to relieve tie need o. thor
own people and are altogether power
less to helpour citizens.
''Ihe latest report OF Consul General
Lee estimates that six to eight hundred
Americans are without means of sup
port. have assured him that provi-
sion would be made at once to relieve
them. To that end | recommend that
Congress make an appropriation of
not less than fifty thousand dollars to
be Immediately available for use un-
der the direction of the Secretary Of
State.
"lt is desirable that part of the sum
which may be appropriated by Con-
gress should, in the discretion Of the
Secretary of State, also be used for the
transportation of American citizens
who desire to return to the United
States and are without the means to
do so.

PARDONS GRANTED.
The Governor Pardons Two rlen.

RALEIGH, N. c., May 1.-THE gov
ernor pardons Ernest Turner, convict
ed of illegal registration at last No
vember term of Alamance superior
court and sentenced to three years
jail imprisonment with leave to COM
missioners to hire him out. The gov
ernor thus endorses the pardon:
1T appears in this case that the pris-
oner was not qualified to vote, but pre-
sented himself for registration and was
allowed to register, no objection being
made. He did not vote or attempt to
vote. He was arrested upon warrant
sworn out by the chairman of the dem
ocratic executive committee. There is
reason to believe the prisoner thought
he had a right to register and vote and
it appears that others of different pO-
litical parties registered, although dis
qualified for precisely the same causes
that applied to this prisoner and they
have not been prosecuted. This par
don is recommended by the chairman
of the democratic committee, by the So
licitor who prosecuted and by the
chairman and board ofcounty commits
sioners and by the county officers. The
trial Judge expresses the opinion that
Turner may be properly pardoned af-
ter serving one year. He has already
served about seven months, while 9TH
ers in his neighbor hood guilty of pre-
cisely the same offense have gotten
free without even arrest and one of the
unconvicted and disqualified offenders
actually voted in 1894"
The governor also pardons Clingman
King, convicted of assault with intent
to commit rape. at the October term,
1895, of Henderson criminal court and
sentenced to five years. He thus en-
dorses the pardon:
'This pardon is strongly urged by the
trial judge, by the solicitor who pros
ecuted, by the clerk of the superior
court, by the register of deeds, by the
sheriff, by seven of the jury to whom
application was made, others not hav-
ing been applied to- and by a consider
able number of leading citizens of
Henderson. 1t seems the prosecution
was instituted by parties who had diff
1iculties with the prisoner; that there
was bad feeling between the prisoner
and the parents of the prosecutriX,
and it appears she has said since the
trial that she was compelled to accuse
the prisoner of assault because of
threats from her mother. 1t seems to
be the better opinion in his locality
that the prisoner has been punished
enough, indeed that he should not
have been convicted at all"

Striking Negroes.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., May 49, Thirty
negroes at lumber mill near Eliz-
abeth City went on strike last week
Their places were filled. They then
surrounded the mill at six o'clock to-
night threatening the superintendent
and the new men. They were kept
out of the mill by arms in possession of
the new men until aid, summoned by
telephone, could arrive from Elizabeth
City. The negroes dispersed upon arri-
val on the scene of division of Naval.
Reserves from Elizabeth City with a
howitzer. No arrests have yet been
made, and fears of trouble are enter
tained if arrests are attempted.
