ins Confession.

Raleigh, N. c., Oct. 1.-THE robbery
OF Gen. J. S. Carr's residence at Dur
ham Is as great a mystery now as 1t
was thirty six hours ago, when 1t was
first found that burglars had invaded
his home. In fact, the longer the mat
ter runs the greater the mystery.
So well was the job executed that
not a sign has been discovered as to
how an entrance was effected or how
the robbers made their escape. The
jewelry and precious stones have dis
appeared, and that is about all there Is
known about the matter. officers have
searched in vain for some clue, but up
to this time they can only theorizc,
and every one has a theory Of his own.
A CONFLICT OF OPINION.
Justice Walter Montgomery, Of the
Supreme Court. held yesterday in Il
habeas corpus case that the act of the
Legislature of 1899 increasing the COM
mutation Of convicts in the penltentl-
airy, as a result of good behavior, is not
retroactive, and affects the time Of
convicts only after the date of It's pas
sage.
The application for the writ Of ha-
beas corpus. which was made by Lewis
Register, a convict from Edgecombe
was therefore denied.
Judge Purnell, of the United States
District Court, has held just the oppo-
site on two different occasions. The
question as to whether the act Is re-
troactive was argued before Judge Pur-
nell in the case Of three Federal pris-
oners, and his Honor held that the act
of 1899 Is retroactive. All three pris-
oncTs accordingly secured their liberty
An appeal was taken from Judge
Montgomery's decision to the full
bench.
SALE OF BONDS.
A special of IIinston says:
The town Aldermen last night ac-
cepted bids for the town bonds which
were recently Issued for electric light
and street Improvement.
) The highest bid was by Stafford &
Co.. OF Chattanooga. Tenn, Offering to
take the whole issue of $4,000 at g per
cent, and to give q premium of 81 .025,
which is equivalent to the bonds bear
Ing interest of about 40 per cent, the
purchasers paying all expenses con-
nected with the issue of the bonds.
A DISAPPEARANCE.
A news special sent out from Winston
last night says:
Mr.. w. II. Gilbert who has conduct
ed a large hardwarde store here for
two years, sold out to Wall 6 Huskc,
another hardwarde firm here, and left
Winston yesterday.
1t is not known where he has gone.
He boarded the north-bound train at
Greensboro. He told one man here
that he was going to Alaska. He was
a clever man. and came here from Will
mington, N. c.
DENIES MAKING CONFESSION.
John j. Jefferson, who murdered
Calein Barnes near Wilson on August
10th, was brought back from Raleigh
to-day, where he had been confined for
safe-keepng.
Jefferson denies having made n con-
fesslon. He claims that all interviews
were given out without his authority,
and none of them are true.
Public sentiment has quietcd down.

the others engaged in the experiments
on this subject do know approximately.
We certainly cannot blame them for nos
telling us all they know an his stage OF
the work. IL IL unfortunate however,
that such a statement as w0 recently
