Myers, Clarence Pfeifer.
San Francisco, July 9.-The second
day of the Christian Endeavor con-
vention opened bright and pleasant.
As early as daylight this morning
little parties of dozen or two score,
could be seen going towards the parks,
Cliff House and Ocean Beach in search
OF pleasure, while hundreds of others
attended early morning prayer SER
vices at the different churches. Long
before the hour for calling the meet
lngs to order 10 Mechanics and Wood
wards pavilions crowds filed every
available space 10 the big buildings.
The delegates were even more enthus-
laStlc than on the first day Of the
convention. The thousands OF lady
delegates wearing badges and ribbons
Of bright colorS, looked fresh and
happy and when the song service was
announced at the opening Of the
meetings they responded with will.
Secretary Baer is elated at the success
of the meeting and says no conven-
ton has ever had such meeting
place. There are vast audltOriums,
but never under one roof city in
itself has there been a betterarranged
place for registration, rest and con.
verSatiOn. Fine California fruits and
flowers have been artiticaiIy arranged
in numerous booths in the pavilion.
and each delegate is invited to sam
pie the fruit and carry away a PAM
phlet reciting the resources of each
county in California.
The second Illinois delegation. con.
siSting Of 800 delegates were late in
arriving, reaching the city in the
early hours OF the morning. They
were in charge Of E. S. Ransom and
they report delightful trip barring
the heat on the plains.
Just as the Southern Pacific officials
were cOngratulating themselves that
they would land all the excursion
trains in this city by sundown this
evening their JOY was changed TO scr.
row by dispatch from The Salt Lake
superintendent. In his telegram that
officer said he had been apprl,ed that
LOCO more passengers, Of whom he had
no notification from connecting lines
would be turned over 70 the Southern
Pacific. He could not say when they
would reach Ogden and the chances
are that these tardy arrivals will only
see the close of the convention. The
total number of registrations at head
quarters this morning is announced
as nearly 10000 of whom about seven
thousand are from California.
Every possible precaution has been
taken by the police and fire depart
ment to prevent any accident or tam
pede during the slttings Of the con-
ventiOn. Thirty police officers have
been stationed 10 and around Me-
chanics' Pavilion to guard against
Overcrowding and possible panics.
When the capacity of the hall had
been reached, the police closed the
doors, and the rest are turned away.

WHO is TO BLAME FOR IT?
Senator Moye Tells of the Mistake in the
Revenue Bill.

''The mistake in the Revenue bill has
worried me no little" says Senator A. j..
Moye (Pop.), of the Sixth Senatorial
district, "and l feel as if every member
of the Senate was Inundated, and l have
been waiting for some one to give am ex-
PLANTATION, but have waited in vain. AS
recollect it, Senator McCaskey had the
bill in charge, as chairman of the FL
nance committee. When this particular
section was under consideration, in the
Committee of the Whole, Senator Nc
Caskey stated to the Senate that the
poll tax was not in the proer proportion
to the property tax in the printed copy
which we had, but that it had been cor
rected in the House, and that it was cor
rected in the bill, from which the clerk
was reading.
IF my memory is at fault, l would
like to hear from Senator Walker or Sem
ator Justice or Senator Grant.
Il do not pretend to blame anyone,
but / do know that the Senate as body
did not deliberately and knowingly pass
the bill as it became a law"

ROSA MORGAN's MURDER.
Another Negro Put in Jail Charged with
Being an Accomplice.

Another negro, Robert White, was
brought to Jail here yesterday morning,
charged with being an accomplice III the
murder of Rosa Morgan. He was
brought by Deputy Todd under commit
ment by Magistrate e. L. Scarboro. OF
Marks Creek township.
The evidence against him seems to
have consisted principally of some threats
he is said have made of whipping the
Morgan woman and of the fact that he
was good friend of Berry Cook, who
is charged with the woman's murder.
He claims to have been at Noah Pace S
where he worked, the night of the muir
der-Noah lives only about 100 yards
from the Morgan woman's house. White
says he woke up and heard her saying
"Oh Lord, have mercy" He thought,
he claims, that she or some of her chill
dren were simply sick and so he went
back to sleep and gave himself no fur
ther concern.
White is Il yellow negro of about 10
years, slender and good looking. He
came from Danville to this county in
April He denies having ever threat
ened the Morgan woman. and says he
only knew her by sight, never having
been to her house but once.
1t is intimated that several other per-
sons may be arrested this week. They
will be used for witnesses even if they
are found to have no connection with
the murder.

THE CRIMINAL INSANE.

The Authorities a the Penitentiary Now
Ready for Their Reception.
An act passed by the last Legislature
transfers the criminal lunatics in the
various hospitals to department for
them in or near the penitentiary. An
annex for them has recently been built,
and the penitentiary authorities are now
ready to receive these persons. The cost
of the transfer is made State charge.
Nothing is said in the act about who
is to make the transfer. 1t is proposed
to have an officer and some attendants
from the various institutions for insane
to take charge of these patients and de-
liver them to the superintendent of the
penitentiary. If this is done, the hospital
authorities will not expect any per diem
for it's employees engaged in the transfer,
the only cost to the State then being
the actual expenses Of these persons.
There will be about fifteen patients
and about five persons to look after them
from the Morganton institution.
Seven have already been received from
the Goldsboro asylum-all that there are
there at this time
Those from the institution in Raleigh
can of course be transferred without
any expense whatever, as no railroad
fare will have to be paid for them and
their attendants.

THE ALLIANCE PROPERTY.
Ope1 Letter From President Graham N
Cost of the Property.

Opea Letter From President Graham
Cost of the Property.
The question as to what is to become of
the Alliance property is still agitating
the officers and members of that organi-
zation and will, no doubt, do so until the
State Alliance meeths and settles the
''shoe factory question.
President John Graham writes an open
letter to the Alliancemen of North Caro-
lima in this weeks Progressive Farmer,
urging upon them for sending their best
men as delegates to the State Alliance.
Let your delegates go uninstructed,"
he says, with power to act intelligently
after posting themselves thoroughly in
reference to the business of your order.
Your investments at Hillsboro are in
no danger. Your title to that magnifi-
cent property is in fee. No encumbrance
Of any kind is upon it. Your credit is
good. Your executive committee, acting
as they thought for the good Of the
Order, changed eighteen thousand of
North Carolina per cent bonds into
real estate and machinery You still
have $1O,S50 in North Carolina 4 per
cent bonds. Three thousand of those
bonds secure the only debt you owe.
THE profits of the Business Agency,
with the stock and material on hand
and paid for, supplemented by such stock
as you take, payable according to the
terms proposed in the Secretary Treas
urer's circular letter, will in my judg-
ment enable us to run the shoe factory
successfully. The reserve of North
Carolina per cent bonds should con-
tinue to be held as sacred fund, never
to be encroached upon. Negotiations are
in progress on the part of your Business
Agent, that, if successful, will place our
manufacturer of shoes upon a sure foun-
dation."
In the same issue of the paper the
following statement of the cost Of the
Hillsboro property is given by Mr.. J. w.
Denmark, member of the executive
committee: Real estate, $5,9O2.54; shoe
factory, $9,022.59; farming and tan
stock, $6,477.11; farming 1896, S., POS. go;

mark added, "by a member of the
State executive committee to use as a
delegate to Wake County Alliance, and
if they are good for our county they are

DROVE A HORSE TO DEATH.

Wiley Rogers, a white man who keeps
store on Wilmington street. was yes
terday bound over to court by Magistrate
John Nichols on charge of cruelty to
animals. The charge was preferred by
Mr.. Joseph Blake, the liveryman. 1t
seems that Rogers hired a hore and bug
gy Of Mr.. Blake to go to Wilder's Grove
to 4 picnic. But he went further; he
drove twice to the river and back, driv-
ing rapidly all the time, the witnesses
said. Before reaching the city that night
the horse failed and had to be led to the
stable, where he soon died. Rogers al
legged that the horse was sick, but the

benefit of medical treatment that the
country afforded, and spent hundreds of
dollars trying to get well, and it almost
broke me up. Before the birth of my

SOCIAL GAIETY AT THE PEN.
Baseball and Minstrel Show and Swell
Dinner ON the Fourth

Some time ago the convicts at the pen
itentiary participated at swell german
in the administration building, but ON the
Fourth they went that one better as So
cial functions these days give place ev-
erywhere to athletics. They had match
game of baseball between the two crack
teams of the State prison. The fine
catching and pitching were features of
the game. The stick work was not so
good as usual. Some brilliant catches
were made and the score was kept down
close enough to make the event very
exciting one.
After this came very elaborate dim
ner, complimentary to the day, by Su-
perintendent Smith. This was followed
by a minstrel show, for which the con-
victs have been making very great prep
arations.
1t has not yet been announced what the
next social attraction at the peniten-
tiary will be, but whatever it is great
time is anticipated. 1t is limited that it
will be watermelon treat, ice-cream

CELEBRATED THE FOURTH.
Now They Are Doing Penance for Their
Folly and Love of Strong Drink.

FoHy and Love or Strong Drink.
Verify man that is born of the colored
woman is of short memory and enduring
thirst. A holiday, especially the Fourth
of July has peculiar fascination for
him and he doesn't think he's doing the
occasion justice unless he fills up on corn
juice or something worse, and then goes
around swearing he's the best man in
town, or words to that effect.
For the time being intoxicating liquors
become meat and drink to him and a
source of ineffable sorrow thereafter.
The truth of the latter part of this state
ment was shown by the unusual number
of drunks before the Mayor when he
opened court yesterday morning.
Jesse Holman got drunk and tried to
keep Officer Lambeth from arresting an
other negro. He was fined $425.
John Atkins imbibed so freely that he
mistook another negro's head for a base-
ball and so used bat on it. He was sent
on to court.
Lizzie McLenehan drank some wine
brought to her by her fellow, who lives
in Cary "a dry town., and of course it
went to her head. She "cussed OUT ev-
cry passer-by, but the Mayor let her go,
as she has young child to nurse.
Walter Womble was so boozy that he
wanted to shoot someone, and so went
around pulling his gun ON those who did
not act to suit him. Finally a policeman
pulled him, and now he's in Jail wait
ing for the July term of court.
Tom Jones yielded to the seductive in
vitation of his friends to take some
thing" and finally developed a fine spec
linen of the Oldfashioned drunk. He
went to the roads.
John Hinton drove his team over the
fire company's hose-which is a violation
of the city ordinaces-but as it appeared
that he didn't see the hose at the time
he was excused.

~JACOB JONES STILL LIVING.

The Physician Finds His Wound Less
Dangerous Than he Supposed.
Jacob Jones, the negro who was shot
by Deputy Oakes Monday morning, was
still living at late hour last highland
still under the influence of opiates. He
is displaying remarkable vitality and is
getting along much better than anyone
could have expected.
Though the doctor has not yet been
able to make careful examination he
is now of the opinion that the bullet
ranged around the abdominal cavity,
without penetrating the intestines, and
lodged about the point of the liver. If
this is true, there is some hope of recov-
cry.
The greatest danger now apprehended
by the physician is peritonitis, caused by
the clotting blood from internal bleeding.
