The Penitentiary Board

Raleigh, N. c., October l9-The
penitentiary board was in session only
half an hour this afternoon, when it
adjourned to 9 O'Clock tomorrow morn
in. No proposition for the lease was
submitted, but it is said the Petersburg
man is here and will make one to-mor-
row; there may be others. One of the
directors made informal charges against
Superintendent Smith of selling colts
from the farms without keeping re.
cord of the same, and alleged that the
sales were made to a son of Smith and
to another party. Some directors favor
lease, but it is positively asserted that
the majority oppose it.

Bryan Favorable to Henry George

New York, October 18.-The CAM
paign committee of the Jeffersonian
democracy is out today with a state
ment that William Jennings Bryan is
in favor of Henry George for the first
mayor of Greater New York. They
base their statement upon an inter-
view which appeared in the Evans
vile (Ind) Courier, on October Sth,
and which was only discovered today.
According to the paper mentioned, :,
this is one of the questions asked and
the reply he made:
Do you think Henry George will be
elected mayor of Greater New York?
81 think he has a splendid chance
of being the next mayor Of New York.
He is we'll known to the people of
New York city. The masses believe
in him and will support him at the
polls. | do not think national issues
will cut much figure in the New York
election. The fight is on local issues.
Personally Mr.. George is a magnetic
man and has fine executive ability.
He will make an excellent mayor and
will inaugurate many reforms in New
York city,
Chicago, October 19.-Referring to
the belief expressed by the followers
of Henry George that recent utteran-
ces of William Jennings Bryan indi-
Gated his support of the George ticket
in the Greater New York campaign,
Mr.. Bryan wired the following to the
Associated Press tonigb:
Norfolk, Neb., October 1S.-I have
not expressed any opinion in regard
to the New York mayoralty campaign
and do not care to express any opinion
in regard to it.

A special correspondence to the
Messenger says.
Rev. DR.. Kilgo, Editor J. w. Bailey
and State Superintendent of Public
Schools Mebane have all gone to the
Elizabeth City fair to spreak on edu-
cation. DR.. Kilgo has drawn a hot
fire on himself by a sermon and a
lecture delivered here Sunday. One
of those who openly attacks him for
his utterances is Dr. Cyrus Thomp-
son, secretary of state. DR.. Kilgo
has strong supporters, but he has
raised host of enemies.
DR.. D. Reid Parker has finished the
holding of farmers Institutes in TWEEN.
ty-tive counties, each occupying two
days. He says some others may be
held this year He declares he never
spoke word about politics and that
the Institutes were productive of
great good.
The Ridgeway high school, which h
was burned Sunday night, was valued
at $4,000, The loss to the principal,
Professor John Graham, is severe, as
it is said there was no insurance
Some of the forty boarding students
also lost property.
N. B. Broughton, of Raleigh, has
gone to Clyde to attend the session
of the Western North Carolina Bap-
tist Convention and ascertain what
are the terms upon which it proposes
to join the North Carolina Conven-
tion. These will be laid before the
latter.
The anti-Butler populists who have
called a conference here October 21st,
claim that letters are pouring in and
that there is great enthusiasm.
White republicans are ridiculing
the negro mass meeting or convention
which is to be held here November
3rd to demand Offices.
The plain statement yesterday that
the penitentiary will not under any
circumstances be leased, was of parti-
cular interest in view of the negro at
tack on the policy of leasing. The
declaration that the superintendent
can remain in office upon cetain con-
ditions means that he must be the
creature and not the boss of the
directors. He told the governor that
he recognized him as the head of the
penitentiary and deferred to his
wishes But the governor has for
weeks desired his removal just as he
has desired the penitentiary to be
leased.

Another Bank Failure.

Louisburg, N. c., Oct 49, Especial.
The Bank of Louisburg closed its
doors this morning having assigned
everything for the benefit of credi-
tors. At present it is impossible to
say what will be the returns to credi-
tors.
This bank is a private institution,
owned by w. p. Webb, and has a
branch in Nashville, N. G. Both of
these have closed their doors. The
assignment was made to Mr.. W. H..
Ruffin, member of the Louisburg
bar. The dispensary recently estab-
lished loses heavily by this failure.
Mr.. Webb had been here in the bank
ing business about six years. About
two years ago he opened branch
bank in Nashville.

Gilmore Captured.

Jacksonville, N. c., October 1S.-
Alex. Gilmore, alias Willie Berry, was
arrested here today by Deputy Sheriff
Jarman, who notified the sheriff of
Cumberland county by wire His
reply was to hold Gilmore for identi-
fication.
Gilmore is the negro who while a
posse was in search for him was shot
down by them in Sampson county, an
account of which appeared in the
Messenger few days ago, He was
identified by an old citizen of Cum
berland county as Alex Gilmore,
which is corroborated by the wounds
made by shot guns in Gilmore right
arm, shoulder and back. He is said
to be wanted in some county in
Georgia for the murder OF the Nc
Donald family, consisting Of widow
and daughter.
Gilmore is now in jail and the au-
thorities are sparing no means in trac-
ing up the black deeds the negro is
no doubt guilty of.
Correspondence of The Messenger)
Wallace, N. c., October 1S.
There passed through here Satur-
day last posse of men in pursuit of
the outlawed negro, Alex Gilmore
who was shot and wounded a few
nights ago near Ingold, Sampson
county. The negro passed through
here Wednesday, wounded in the
head, shoulder, back, calf of the leg
and hand. He left here for Chinqu-
pin, N. c., and left there for New
bern. Some of the posse kept on
after him. The shot which inflicted
the wounds were squirrel and bird
shot.-Wilmington Messenger.

trial of A. J. j. Perry and c. L. Perry,
of Bladen county, tor the killing of
Steven Johnson, colored ferryman at
Elizabethtown on the 4th of last De-
cember, ended here tonight. The en-
tire day was consumed by argum ent
of counsel. F. R. Cooper, D. B. SUIT
ton, J. d. Kerr, H. E. Faison and c.
B. Aycock spoke for the defense. and
J. E. Fowler, C. M. Mclean and
Acting Solicitor G.. E. Butler for the
prosecution. The speeches were all
able, and the case was hard fought
on both sides. The jury was charged
by Judge Allen at o'clock. At 8
o'clock it was announced that ver
dict had been reached.
The court house was packed with
interested and anxious spectators
when the prisoners were asked to
stand up and look upon the jury; and
the jury upon them. The venerable
spokesman Of the jury broke the
suspense of the moment when asked
to declare the verdict by saying,
"Not Guilty" A great shout of ap-
proval arose spontaneously from the
great throng. Judge Allen ordered
the sheriff to arrest any person in
dulging in this disorder, but no often
der could be identified.

defendants, has been in in constant

The Luetgert Trial

Chicago, October 2O.-At $50 to-
night it was announced from the office
of States Attorney Deneen that there
would be no announcement of verdict
in the Luetgert case before the opening
of Court tomorrow morning. For a
time tonight it was rumored that il
the jury had not agreed by tomorrow
it will be discharged as soon as it re-
ports its inability to reach verdict.
This, however, is not the case. 1t is
the firm determination of Judge Tuthill
to keep the jury until Saturday night
or late Saturday afternoon before he
permits them to 60 with disagree
ment. He has announced that both
State and defendant have spent so
much money and time and the case
has been so long and difficult to try
that. he will not consent to the discharge
of the jury until there is absolutely
no hope whatever of a verdict being
reached.
The jury stands about where it stood
twenty-four hours ago. Reports vary
from nine for the death penalty to three
for acquittal to eleven for death and
one for acquittal. The one juror hold
ing out for Luetgert is Harley, and it is
thought that if he would change
there would be little time lost in arriv-
ing at a verdict. Juror Holabird is also
credited with favoring the acquittal of
the prisoner, but it is thought he will
come around quickly if Harley could be
induced to vote for conviction.
The feeling among the jurors who
are in favor of the death penalty is
high against Harley, and they have
done much talking to him. At one
time this morning they even sent for
Judge Tuthill to know, among other
things, if eleven men could compel one
man to vote with them, or if a verdict
would be valid if but eleven men
signed it. This is the incident that
gave to the State the idea that but one
man was standing between Luetgert
and death sentence.
1t is runlored that Judge Tuthill this
morning OF ened three letters offering
bribes to the jury. This report cannot
be verified.
The court room of Judge Tuthill is
the scene of vandalism which has no
parallel in the annals of sensational
trials. Some of the spectators took
advantage of the absence of the bailiffs
and clerk Knoch and seized on every
portable article Of stationery in view.
Sections of the improvised desks used
by newspaper reporters during the
tedious trial were carried off by the
morbid crowd.
Judge Tuthill, in the course of his
frequent communications with the
court room by telephone, inquired
after his gavel aud ink stand. RE said
he was particularly anxious to keep
both as niementoes for his wife. When
lie was told that all the small articles
were gone, he expressed himself in
vigorous language,

ABLAZE WITH FOREST FIRES.
Auburn, N. Y, October 1S.-The
northern part of Cayuga county is
ablaze with forest fires, which have
been raging for the past two days
and nearly all the timber in the vici-
nifty of Red Creek, Lowville, Sterling
and North Victory, has been destroy
ed Many farm houses, barns, hay
stacks and animals have been burned.
The farmers are fighting the flames
night and day, but as there has been
no rain in the vicinity since last July
the parched condition of the gound
and the muck in the swamps make
their efforts almost futile.
