The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1898-05-27

We did not see the proceedings of
the newly formed North Carolina His
toricaI Society in time to Hote chief
proceedings. The Society chose two
excellent officials, President Peacock,
Of Greensboro Female College, as pres
ident, and Mr.. E. H. Bean, manager
Of The North Carolina Presbyterian,
as secretary. President Peacock, we
think, is a native of Goldsboro, an
alumnus of the. University of North
Carolina, and a scholarly, patriotic
North Carolinian. A report in The
Charlotte News says:
prof. Peacock's modesty forbade
him from speaking of his success in
collecting historical matter. His col
lection of North Carolina in undoubt-
eddy the best in this state and per-
haps in the United States. with the
exception of that at Madison, Wis
cOnsin. Every history of North Caro-
lima can be found in his library. No
one else can claim such a treasure
The attendance was small, but sew
eral prominent educators and lawyers
were present.

RETURNED TO CANALEJAS.
The State Depai tment Delivers to His
Attorney the De LONE Letter.


Attorney the De LONE Letter.
Washington, Feb 15.-The State De-
partm ent has taken steps to place in the
hands of Senior Canalejas, to whom the
letter was addressed, the eplstle written
by Senior Dupuy de LONE, which led to
the resignation of the minister. The
TRANSACTION is explained in the following
brief statement, given out tonight by the
State Department.:
Recognizing that the legal ownership
of the De LONE letter is in Mr. Canale-
jas, and his agent and attorney, Mr..
Calderon Carlisle, having presented
proper authority to receive the same, the
letter was delivered TO him to.dny."
As explained in this statement, Mr..
Carlisle was fully authorized to apply for
and receive the letter, having the cabled
authorization from Senior Canalejas. In
the view of the State Department, the
letter was stolen document. aud, like
any other piece of property, it should,
upon application, DE delivered to its
rightful owner There was no other
course left open, as in the United States,
as in all other countries having code Of
laws, the sole property of the person to
whom it is addressed as soon as it starts
on it's way from the sender.
This letter has, besides, completely
served already all of the uses for which
it might have been applied by our Gov
eminent, and there are In existence fac
smile copies of the paper that are so
surely authenticated AS TO leave M legal
doubt of their accuracy.

FIRED UPON BY A LUNATIC.
Exciting Experience Of Two Rich
mon Men on a HenricO Farm.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 1J.-Mr. Robert
Lynch MONTAGUE, one of the best known
Young members of the Richmond bar and
a brother OF Attorney General Montague,
was shot by J. c Bailey, n Henricc lu-
matte and thaJ he escaped being kia-d
outright is almost miracle. AS it is
surgeon had to spend nearly the entire
evening picking shot out of his head, neck
and back, and several stitches had to be
taken where the flesh was badly lacerated.
Mr.. T.. a. Saunders, a wealthy wholesale
grocer, had an equally exciting, though
less painful, experience, and his escape
was as narrow.
Bailey is an old resident of lIenrico
county, and was formerly man of
means. His habits became irregular, re-
verses followed, and he WAS finally sent
to the State Hospital. at Williamsburg,
where he has now been three times,
though always discharged as cured after
brief confinement. He placed deed of
trust on his farm, and Messrs. Montague
and Saunders went down with the trus-
tee and auctioneer this afternoon to have
it sold. AS their buggy, which was
ahead, drove up to the farm Bailey met
them with two double. barreled shotguns,
one of which he had taken from n hun
ter, and declared he would kill them.
Mr.. Saunders turned his horse and
jumped out to hOld the animal, ana MT.
Montague crouched down in the bottom
of the vehicle. AS he ducked his head as
low as he could get it he received the
bulk of load of fours on the surface Of
his shoulders, neck and head. He rolled
out of the buggy and fled as the men in
the rear had already done, and %r. Saun-
ders found himeslf looking down two
long gun barrels, while Bailey swore he
would pull the trigger. He would hear
no reason, but finally called for his pow
arless victim, 8 gold watch, and then for
his oveIcoat.
Montague returned with blood stream
ing down his face and neck and talked to
Bailey, while Saunders silently stole
away. He finally persuaded the crazy
man to let him take the buggy to drive
home that his wounds might be dressed
and the party escaped. Officers will go
out to me rrow to take Bailey into Gus
