THE WORK OF A RASCAL.
A Fifteen-Year-Old Girl Poisoned by
the Man Who Ruined Her.

Bristol, VT. Aug. 16.-The autopsy on
the body Of Dora Cushman, the 15-year-
old girl whose body was found in a past
ure at Lincoln yesterday disclosed evil
dence which the physicians say show
that death resulted from poisoning.
1t was also disclosed that the girl was
in a delicate condition.
VIM. Brittel an itimate friend Of Smith
Davis, who disappeared from Lincoln
yesterday, has been arrested. Brittel
has admitted that Davis told him of the
Cushman girls condition, and said he
had procured some medicine which would
bring her out of the trouble. 1t was
learned further that Brittel acted as
messenger between Davis and the girl,
telling the latter that Davis had the med
icine, and that he would meet her in the
woods and give it to her
1t is thought the girl went to the ap-
pointed place and took the dose, which
proved fatal and Davis fled when he saw
the effect OF it. The authorities have
traced the fugitive as far as Rutland
where he bought ticketf or Manchester,

THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF AMY NOR

poses" 1t claims to maintain and OPP
crate 2S,OOO Offices, Of which about
3O2 are in North Carolina; and these are
a part of the general system maintained
and operated throughout the civilized
world. No different rule or regulation
for the maintenance and operation of
the North Carolina portion of the sys-
tenn, it is claimed can he established
without affecting the entire Interstate
and international system.
1t is further set forth in the bin that
the authority and power of the Com
mission to make the order of July %,
1897, cutting down rates to points within
the State to 10 cents over Western
Union and 20 cents over other lines, is
without authority of law: that the old
rate was just and reasonable, and afford
ed n fair compensation for the service
rendered. The new rate was made, the
company claims, without giving them
notice, and that within ten days after
the rate was made exceptions were filed
thereto.
1t is averred by the complainant tele-
graph company that the amount in dis
pute in the controversy is $4,000 includ-
ing interest and costs. AS the new rate
goes into effect on September 1st
and the United States Court, which the
case has been removed, does not meet
for some months, and as the orders
are final and deprive the COM
pany of its property without due
process of law. the court is saked to re-
strain the enforcement of the orders
making the new rate, during the pen
dency Of the suit in the courts.
The following further reasons are as
signed for excepting to the new rates:
/. That they are not just and reason
able
> That the transmission of messages
at these rates will entail loss upon the
company.
3. That even at the 25-cent rate the
company was operating its lines within
the State at an annual loss.
f. That if similar reduction 40 per
cent? were made in other States the COM
pany would not be able to maintain its
lines and defray operating expenses.
3 That to enforce the new rates
would be an unlawful appropriation of
the company's property without compen-
sation.
g. That the Commission has un-
lawfully and unjustly Disseminated

PREMEDITATED MURDER
ASSASSIN ATTRIBUTES CAUSE
TO STATE OF POLITICS.
THE PRISONERS COUNSEL PLEAD INSANITY
AngioIiO Spoke Fer Himself But the President
of the Court Cut His Remarks Short
and After Consultation Passed
Death Sentence.
Death Sentence.

Madrid, Aug. 16.-Michel Angiolillo,
the anarchist assassion of Premier Cano-
vas del Castillo, who was tried by court
martial yesterday at Vergara, was found
guilty and was sentenced to death.
Upon heaering the sentence Angiolillo
turned deathly pale and had to be as
sisted from the court room.
Angiolilla, heavily manacled sat be-
tween two gendarmes. On table near
by lay his revolver and other material
evidence of the crime.
The president Of the court read the dec.
laratiOns of eye witnesses. after which
the written statement of the prisone:
was read by the clerk of the court.
Angiolillo went on to say that the pas
sion for vengeance led him to commit the
crime. AS he was unacquainted with the
manufacture of explosives he used the re-
vOlver.
The public prosecutor described the
crime as 'premeditated murder and
asked the court to impose the death pen
atty.
Lieut.. GOrria, whom the court had as
signed as counsel to Angiolillo. urged
that the prisoner was demented at the
time of the shooting and made a strong
appeal to the benevolence of the judges.
While his counsel was presenting this
plea Angiolillo listened in silence Then
he asked permission to speak for himself,
which was granted. He thanked Lieut.
Gorria for his efforts and denied that he
had any accomphces. or that he was an
aecomplice of those who committed the
bomb throwing outrage at Barcelona, or
that he had participated in secret gath
erings of anarchists. When he began to
discuss anarchist theories, the president
of the court interrupted him and threat
ened to stop him if he pursued that line
of remark or touched upon any matters
not connected with the trial.
Angiolillo persisted in speaking of poll
ties and of the war in Cuba and the
Philippines. The president said: "All that
has nothing to do with your crime"
Angiolillo replied: Il must justify my
SELF
The president retorted: 'That is no
justification. Moreover you can convince
nobody in that way"
AngiOlillO began again, but the presi-
dent declared the trial ended and ordered
the court room cleared
After the prisoner had been conducted
to his cell, the judges deliberated for an
hour and then announced the sentence of

mans place, about your disagreeable in
terview with him; your forty trunks of
English goods admitted free of duty on
your return; Gen. Sherman's order dur
ing the war to shoot you, etc. p
II don't think the public takes any in

ply, NOR can l think any intelligent
newspaper believes it. don't know that
anybody is going to take Mr.. Sherman's
place, or that he has any notion of retir-
ing. l had no disagreeable interview with
him. l never even saw the absurd story

nouncing it as false and malicious. When

that l wanted to call ON him early in the

Monday. He has honored me with his
friendship since bOyhOOd, but in the whole

to me without solicitation the courtesy to
the service of the country abroad from
the foundation Of our government-the
same courtesy which is likewise extended
under similar circumstances by every
other civilized government in the world.
"About Gen. Sherman's alleged order
to shoot you?'
"Oh, that is more goose food. The
youth who prepared it merely confused
me with good old Col. Tom Knox, now

MURDERED HIS MOTHER.
To Obtain Money to Spend ON a Variety
Actress.

Galveston, Texas, Aug. 16.-Mrs. Kate
Gallagher, for twelve years a school
teacher in this city, was found to-day
with her throat cut from ear to ear
and the body charred beyond recognition.
After killing her the murderer fired the
bed.
Virgil, the 20-year-old son of the muir
dered woman, has been arrested and
confesses that he committed the crime
to get money to spend ON variety ac-
tress. The crime was deliberately plann-
ed and executed. The young man had
packed his trunk and was ready to leave.
He had the furniture insured and with
the money expected to leave Texas as
soon as the fire insurance could be ad-
justed.
But the fire was discovered in time to
prevent the destruction of the house and
the bloody shirt which the murderer wore
when the crime was committed.

"THE FORGOTTEN MAN"

Rocky Mount, N. c., Aug. 16, 1897
To the Editor: Anent the subject Of
Walter Pages Greensboro address, ''The
Forgotten Man." and the casting about
by some of the newspaper fraternity to
discover the first user of the expression,
so symbolic and forceful, find it in
Victor Hugo's Las Miserables, in the
last paragraph of chapter 234, part 5 of
the series. I quote:
"The name of the man who spoke
thus was never known; he was. some un-
known blouse-wearer, an unknown man.
A FORGOTTEN MAN; a passing trew
that great anonymous always mixed up
in human crises and social Geneses, etc"
1t will be conceded that the pregnant
verbal combination might well have
been evinced by the great, original,
epigramatic Victor Hugo.

well, hagman on the southbound mail.
which passed here Sunday morning at l
O'Clock, was shot by a tramp just before
the train arrived at Dunn. At Selma
five tramps were put off the train, and
two of them, it is thought. boarded
again just as the train pulled away and
the other three fired two or three shots
at the train as it moved away. When
about two miles from Dunn the engineer,
noticing two men on top Of the coaches
advancing toward the engine, stopped the
the train and the intruders were again
put off. One of them attempted again to
force his way onto the train and being
resisted by the fagman, he drew his
pistol and fred the ball entering young
Blackwells bowels. The dying young
man was placed on the train and q ply
sician called when the train arrived at

death was inevitable, and although every
possible attention was given him, the
young man expired about three minutes
after the arrival of the train at Fayette-

Bloodhounds were brought from Flor

the murderer, but after pursuing about
eight miles in the direction of Fayette-
vile the track was lost
Later a suspicious character was seen
on the railroad between here and Fay

and ran through the woods. BlOodhounds
were soon put on the trail and he was
pursued some fifteen miles, swimming
Cape Fear river and two creeks in his
fight. A rain, however, destroyed the
track and the pursuit had to be aban-
