RASCALITY IN RICHMOND.

Republicans Find Difficulty in Using
Their Tool, One w. I'll. Cox.
That the Republicans have planned to
do some dirty work in Stewartsyille pre-
cinct, Richmond county, there can be
little doubt; and one w. III. Cox is the
tool selected for its accomplishment.
Sometime ago Ed. Buchanan Oem.),
Murdoch Shaw Rep.), and w. III. Cox
Rep.). were appointed registrars. Cox
was to represent the Populist party.
there being no Populist in the precinct.
Carving out the scheme, this board met
and organized by electing Cox chairman
and assumed control of the registration
book.
SO far things had gone along swim
mjngly. But the Democrats snlelled a
mouse and under Judge Furches ruling
in the Mecklenburg case, came before
Judge Clark and had Cox removed and
an order issued that no Republican or
Democrat should be appointed in his
place. He was directed to turn over the
books to Ed Buchanan, Democrat.
This would seem to dispose of Cox, but
it didn't. When the Republicans are in
such terrible straits as they now are
and find themselves under the necessity
of winning an election by crooked meth
DDS, they are as full of resources as an
egg is of meat.
Cox is the very sort of fellow for that
very sort of work and it would never do
to lose him, so they decided, in order
not to be baked in their schemes, to
have Murdoch Shaw, the Republican reg
istrar, resign and appoint Cox in his
stead. This was done.
Now Cox claims that he is still chair
man and ought TO have custody of the
books, there never having been any re-
organization of the board since the first
one. when he was elected chairman. And
on this ground he demands custody of
the books and the Craftsmanship of the
board.
Mr.. Buchanan refuses to accede to any
such demand. He keeps control and
custody of the books except on registra-
ton days and acts as chairman, having
been so appointed by court.
On Cox's complaint as noted In yester-
days News and Observer, Judge
Furches has issued rule on Buchanan
to appear before him here next Monday
and show cause why he shall not recog-
nize Cox as chairman and give him Gus
tody and control of the registration
books.

4 For the past three or four days there
has been exhibited in this city, negro
girl, who is quite an interesting mon
ssfrosity. The deformity is in the forma-
ton of the face, in other respects she is
said to be naturally formed
Her face is abnormally wide, the eyes
being about six inches apart. She has
two distinct noses where one nose ought
to be. Each nose has two nostrils, and
she breathes through all Of them. The
nostrils of either nose can be closed
and the other nose answers full well.
She has only one mouth, but this is de-
formed. The lips are very much dis
tended. In addition to her regular set OF
teeth, there is an embryo set of gums
and teeth just under the lips.
She is being exhibited at the colored
churches by her aunt, a colored woman
named Mary b. Stone.

COBB'S BANK HAS FAILED.
Business and Politics Don't Go Very
Well Together.

Had George w. Cobb attended to
business instead of talking to negro poll
ticians and trying to dictate appoint
ments. there would to-day be fewer peo-
pie with ruined fortunes in Elizabeth
City.
AS result of Cobbs inattention to
business and incompetent administration
of the affairs committed to his care, he
is to-day bankrupt and hundreds Of
people are poorer.
Wednesday the banking house of CUR
kin & Co.. Elizabeth City, closed its
doors and James Brooks was named as
assignee. 1t was a private bank, and
Mr.. Cobb was the owner and president
Mr.. Guirkin having died some two years
ago.
Aside from Mr.. Cobb's loose business
methods. two causes are supposed TO
have been responsible for the failure:
settlement of the Guirkin estate, and
the large amount loaned out on real
estate.
A year ago, when the last examination
of the bank was made, the capital stock
was $4,000. When the bank failed it
was only $4,000, having been reduced
half by the settlement of the Guirkin
estate. The loans on real estate were
over $4,000, or more than the capital
stock. Real estate is species of prop
erty that cannot always be realized on
when the money is needed.
The following was the sworn state
ment from the bank filed by Cobb with
the State treasurer, September Goth last:

they were seen by some boys who re-
ported the matter to the police. with the
result that they were captured.
They still had on their convict garb.
They were brought back and placed in

THREE QUEENS STREET OFFICES
ENTLRED LAST NIGHT.
Kerr, Morgan and Allen & Robinson
Called Upon-Seyen Watches Stolen
After Cash-Police Suspicious.

Burglars were very much abroad
last night. Queen street was the CEN
ter of operations. Between midnight
and daylight the offices of l.. b. Kerr,
james f. Morgan and Allen d Rob
iuson were entered. Save for seven
cheap watches atpAiorgan's, the burg
lars were not rewarded for their hard
nights work.
Kerr's place was entered through
a window on the Eva side of the bus
mess Office. The sash was pried up,
and the blind slightly broken. so that
it could be opened. Desks were ent-
cred and the office turned up gener-
ally. Money was evidently the object
of the raid, for several articles of val
lie were left untouched. There was
not cent of cash in the Office desks.
all having been locked away in the
big safe.
Morgans office was entered in the
same way, through a window on the
makai side. As in the first place all
the drawers of the desks were open
ed in the search for coin. Failing to
find any, the miscreants appropriated
seven cheap watches. Mr.. Morgan
bought ten of them from japanese
short time ago for 81.
~ Passing across the lumber yard road
the thieves pried open one side OF the
window leading into Allen & Robin
sons office. A chsel was used on the
desk of Paul Muhlendorf. All the sew
! eral drawers were ransacked, but to
no profit. Operations in other parts
of the Office were equally unfruitful.
As Mr.. Muhlendorf remarked: "We
need our cash in the business. and are
not leaving out any for burglars
No other stores in the vicinity were
visited. The burglars were too much
disgusted, perhaps, to take further
chances WI substantial results
in sight. i, nd on inquiry that
they would Jared no better had

es of Lyman Bros. and McChesney &,

Detective David KAPPA made com
plete round of the burglarized premis-
es. He found all the marks of the
man or men who entered the Offices
of Theo II. Davies & Co. and Wilder
& Co. short time ago. The identical
weapon, a chisel, was used. The de-
tective has very strong suspicious,
