LECTURE TONIGHT.

The opportunity Of hearing the Rev.
DIR. Eugene Daniels lecture on John
Calvin, this evening at the First Pres
byterian church. is one that should not
be neglected.
Not only by the millions which hold
the divine doctrines of theology taught
by this eminent man, but also by the
Testimony Of such celebrated historic MS
as Froude and Bancroft, is 1t claimed
that few men have exerted more pow
erful influence over the history of the
world than the subject Of this lecture.
BY special invitation, DR.. Daniel has
delivered this address at Norfolk and
other places, and has consented at the
solicitation Of the Westminster League
TO give it again this evening at 7:30
o'clock before the members Of the league.
The members of this organization wish
all who may be interested to hear the
graphic account Of the man-his work
and the Influences Of his work as it
will he we'll TOLD by the scholarly speak
err Of the evening. A cordial invitation
is therefore extended to our citizens TO
hear the address. No collection Of any
kind will be taken up, and the pews of
the church are all free.

Raleigh Wants the Same Fire Insur-

President Raney presided at the regu-
lar meeting of the Chamber Of Com
merce last night.
There was an interesting and ami
mated discussion upon the street i'm.
provements, Mr.. Chas. e. Johnson con-
tending that the money ought to be
used for general street Improvements in
stead of being applied to making side
walks.
On motion of r. Fl. Battle, the Street
committee was requested to arrange
with the State authorities to improve
the streets around the capitol square as
early as possible. The following paper
was adopted and placed in the hands
Of the committee on insurance:
"WherAas, 1t is reported that the rate
of insurance in Greensboro has been re-
duced about one half, therefore
Resolved, That the Chamber Of Com
merce committee on Insurance be re-
quested to investigate the matter Of
rates, and endeavOr TO make such ar
rangements as will give to our people
the same low rates on property, that is
said are now in force in Greensboro.
The secretary was instructed to reply
to the Philadelphia Maritime Exchange
that we fully concur in the request TO
send q commission to Cuba to investigate
the yellow fever matter.

NEGRO FOR ROCKINGHAM
EVANS TRIED TO-DAY FOR AS
SAULT UPON MISS COLE.
gUDGE M'lVER DEEMED TROOPS NECESSARY
Soy, Russell Ordered Capt. Crawford and 90
Men to Accompany Deputy Cameron From
Raleigh With His Prisoner Maxton
Guards Held in Readiness.

Again the troops have been called on
10 protect a negro who is charged with
the most fendish and dastardly Of all
crimes. A detachment, twenty strong, Of
the Governors Guards, under command
OF Captain Crawford, have been called
out to guard John Evans on the way
80 Rockingham, where he will to-day
stand trial for the criminal assault COM
united upon the person of Miss Cole.
Deputy Sheriff John p. Cameron, of
Richmond county arrived in Raleigh ear
ly Tuesday. He was sent by Sheriff
Smith to bring John Evans, the negro
who was placed in the Wake county jail
for safe keeping, to Rockingham for
trial. Evans was the negro arrested at
Wadesboro and true bill has been
found against him. Court is now in ses-
sion there with Judge McIver preSid
ing. Deputy Cameron will leave with
the prisoner on the Atlanta Special at
PIG, this, Wednesday morning.
The excitement in Rockingham over
this terrible crime has not subsded,
and there is danger that the authorities
may have trouble. The employees in the
cotton factories are said to be especially
exercised over the outrage.
In view of these facts Governor Rus
sell was asked to call out troops to es-
crot Evans to Rockingham and if neces-
sary remain in the town during the
trial. Governor Russell called the coun-
Gil of State together and also held a
consultation with Major Hayes, acting
adjutant genertl, Col. Harrell and 9TH
.ers. The Governor telegraphed Judge
McIver asking if he thought it was nee
essary to send the troops.
Later in the afternoon reply was
received and then Capt. Crawford, of
the Governors Guards was notified to
select twenty men from his company
TO accompany Deputy Cameron with
his prisoner.
Application was made to Mr.. Joe Alex
ander, the Governors private secretary TO
see Judge McIver's reply, but he denied
the request.
The statement was made by one who
knows. however, that Governor Russell
did not call on the Guards until he was
satisfied that it was necessary.
4 Maxton Guards have been notified
that they will be ordered to Rocking
ham if any trouble is anticipated after
the arrival OF the Governors Guards
with the negro.
The attendants and the prisoner will
arrive in Rockingham early this morn
ing and it is expected that the court
viii proceed Immediately with the trial.

THE SCHOOL FUND.
Superintendent Mebane Writes Concern
ing Fines Which Should Go Into this
Fund.


Fund.
Superintendent Mebane received q let
ter yesterday stating one case out Of
many similar. ones by which the educa-
ttional fund in county loses. The fol-
lowing is the statement in the letter
which explains itself:
MIR. S. ID. Dellinger, of Yancey
county, was fined $100 in the Yancey
Superior court at recent term. Said
fine was paid to the clerk of the court,
and after deducting his commission he
paid it to the former treasurer, who,
after deducting his commission, disburs-
ed the remainder as his books show.
Then Mr.. Dellinger petitioned Gov. Rus
sell and procured pardon, whereupon
the county commissioners gave an order
for 500 out of the school fund of 1897.
Shall we pay said order!"
Here is the reply which G. M. Blan-
kenship, treasurer of Yancey county re-
ceived:
"Dear Sir: / will say in the first
place that the county commissioners
have no authority to send in orders for
paying out public school money. This
is the business of the county board OF
education.
1T is for the county board of educa-
ton to say whether this fine shall be
paid back or not. l advise you not to
pay it. Though a pardon remit a penal
ty, and a fine which in this case is
part of the penalty, yet, if the fine be
already paid into the school fund, it
cannot be RENTED, except by special
act of the legislature. See Vol. g. Atty.
Gen. U. S., Page 2S1. This would seem
to be the law, notwithstanding the fact
that State VS.. Mooney holds an abso-
lutte pardon discharges fine.
DO not, therefore, pay the fine out
of the school fund until ordered SO
TO do by the courts.
In regard to fines which should go to
the school fund, the following important
letter was written by Superintendent
Mebane to Mr.. z. S. Swain, at Ply
mouth:
Dear Sir: The G. S. G. must report
to the Board of Education all fines,
etc, reported to him. OF course he can
not report what is not reported to him.
You have a right to examine the record
of any magistrate and see whether they
report their fines or not. Go and see
where ,4ere is doubt. Every magistrate
who fails to do his duty along this line
should be exposed at once. Our schools
in some counties would have a much
larger school fund if only the county
authorities would do their duty as to
fines, forfeitures, etc."
