Mr.. Helm. speaking of the finding Of
the grand jury, said:
Il am pleased with the report Of the
grand jury on the gas company It
means that the county will get from
100000 to 100000 out of the gas COM
pany in back taxes, provided the coun-
ty auditor will act upon the recon-
mendation.
las far as the report on the street
railway company I am disappointed.
But If the people examine the evidence
that 1 adduced against that company
they will reject the jurys views and
insist that the matter be submitted to
some other tribunal for investigation.
IF the franchise of the gas company
should be entered on the tax books
based upon valuation Of So, 760, 900 for
four years each, then the franchise of
the railway company should likewise
be entered on the tax books for three
times the gas company's amount for
the years 1892, 1893, 1894 and 1895, and
the county would be entitled in taxes
to from 100000 to 100000. I am GER

Coils Are Tightening Around
the Husband Neck.
NEW EVIDENCE HEARD
my PAPA HAD \ ROPE AROUND
MAMMALS NECK
SAYS THE Boy OF The DEAD WOMAN
eloody Bolster and Pillow Slips and Bloody
Rope Found by Justice Roberts in
an Old Out House.

The coils of the hangman'S moose are
seemingly tightening around the neck of
Alexander Allen, colored, for the muir
der of his wife on Friday night last, at
their home in the suburbs of East
Raleigh.
In Sundays paper it was told how
Allen had reported to his neighbors that
his wife, Lucinda Allen, had died sudden
~. The suspicious conduct Of Allen,
his arrest and Imprisonment were also
noted.
Since then additional evidence has been
unearthed which indicates that the wo-
man was foully murdered and that Al
len himself was the murderer.
On Suday morning Justice of the Peace
Roberts, who has interested himself in
this case from the beginning-he having
Il well-grounded opinion that a murder
had been committed-went to the former
home of the Aliens, near the Watson
place, in the Eastern suburbs of the
city, to make some additional inyestiga-
tons.
In an old stable on the promises he
found what appears to be a bolster and
pillow slips torn into shreds and covered
with blood marks He also found a piece
of rope some seven inches long with
blood marks on it. These are being kept
until the Coroner's jury re-convenes at
10 o'clock this morning.
4 little eight year-old boy Of the dead
woman has stated to some persons
that he heard his mother crying during
the night and that he went into the room
and his father had rope around his
mothers neck. These things seem to in
dicate that Allen, with his own hands,
brutally murdered his wife about mid
night and this is the reason that he tried
so hard to escape from the Coroner S
jury when the investigation began Satur-
day

A Goodland nimrod went to the
Smoky Sunday after ducks, armed
with an abundance Of ammunition and
a cherished hope that he would not
return empty-handed. On arrival at
the roaring stream a decided change
had taken place in the temperature,
but the aforesaid nimrOd was not to be
disappointed for q small obstacle of
this kind. So he proceeded to q ranch
house and borrowed a pair Of skates,
and fastening them to his feet, he
skated down the stream, and with gun
in hand he landed on the finest bunch
Of big maIlard ducks his eye ever fell
upon. But to his great surprise, after
he had ceased his cannOnadinR, he
found that the ducks we're frozen stiff
under the pure ice Of that famous
stream. He returned Tuesday latter
the storm without his game, as he
failed to include a pick with his hunt
ing paraphernalia.
