testifies that Charles Locklear, who
was the fireman at the factory, told

FOR ANY EMERGENCY.
England Preparing for Trouble With
Continental Europe.

London, October 1S.-In the house of
commons today the first lord Of the
treasury and government leader, Ar
thur ]. Balfour, brought in the follow
ing message from the queen:
THE state of affairs in South Africa
having constituted, in the opinion of
her majesty, a case of great emergency
within the meaning of the act of par
lament her majesty deems it proper to
provide additional means for military
service. She has, therefore, thought 1t
right to communicate to the house that
her majesty is, by proclamation, about
to order the embodiment Of the mill
tia, and to call out the militia reserve
force, or such part thereof as her ma
jesty may think necessary for perma-
nent service
The calling of the militia and the
militia reserves has occasioned wide
spread ,wonderment. Old stories OF
preparations against continental COM
binations are revived. II is freely ru-
mored that the government is deter
mined to demonstrate to Europe that
the British army is not a negligible
quantity.

Raleigh, n. c., October 17.-Today's
session of the penitentiary board was
quite lively. A. B. Young presided.
There was a very full attendance. A
committee of five, with Gotten as
chairman, was raised to consider the
dismissal and appointment of employees,
inspect cells and quarters, consider how
convict camps shall be closed and
properly disposed of on those farms
which are to be abandoned. and also
to report on the Lewis Summerell mat
ter. This committee reports tomorrow
morning.
Superintendent Day appeared before
the board and said it could get togeth-
er and put in whomever it liked for
officers; that he had only one he want
ed to appoint, James r. McCullon, Of
Halifax; that he would remove any one
the board thought ought to be removed
and appoint it's nominee, but with the
understanding that the latter would be
removed by Daya and the board if
thought advisable. Day said: II will
terms expire there will be many va
cancies. You are as much responsible
in regard to the penitentiary as I am"
John r. Weddington, of the board,
quite warmly declared he would no
longer be a party to the farce which
was being played before the public:
that the board was trying to act with
out getting information as to finances
and other matters specially called for
by the resolution adopted at it's last
meeting; that there was superintend-
ent, a warden, a book-keeper and
purchasing agent, and yet not a par
ticle of real information could be gath
cred.
Day began to talk about penitentiary
farms, but was told plainly that the
board wanted information about
finances. Day said he had made re-
ports monthly to Chairman Travis, of
the executive board.
Travis said he had never received any
such report.
LeGrand moved to adjourn until Day
furnished the reports, saying he intend
ed to go no further in the dark.
Day promptly agreed that it was best
to wait, and declared he would give the
report tomorrow morning.
Gotten then poured hot shot into the
management of the farms on the Roam
oke, saying the convicts were not prop
erly fed and clothed, and that it was
exceedingly difficult to get a requisi-
ton for supplies made on the central
prison board. He said that at the Til
lery farm forty convicts had worked
five days building a road entirely
around the farm, and greatly increas-
ing it's value, and yet while they were
building it fodder on the state farm
near by was being ruined.
Application was made to the board
for the county convicts to work in
Cummock coal mines, but was refused,
the board declaring no convicts should
work in mines.
1t was decided to pay the fusionist
supervisors $21 a month for four months
balance of salary, which the fusionists
promised them, but never paid. 1t was
decided to be the best to hold the cot
ton crop and not sell now.

RIGHTS OF 4 PRISONER.
Under Law for Communication for Good
Conduct Settled by Supreme Court.
Especial to the Messeng

Especial TO the Messsnger.)
Raleigh, y. c., October 1.-THE su-
preme court decides the case Of the
convict Mcmahon, and holds that
prisoner sentenced to confinement in
the penitentiary for life, whose SEN
tence is afterwards commuted to
term Of years is entitled to the statu
tory Communication for good conduct
only from the date of communication OF
his sentence TO a term of years. Chap
ter 467, Laws 1899, fixing the commuta
ton upon a sentence at seven days per
month is only amendatory or section
3445 of the Code and chapter 379, laws
1895, and does not repeal these statutes.
1t follows, therefore, that the act Of
1899 does not deprive prisoners of the
Communication allowed upon their terms
to date of its enactment.

London. October I9.-There is still no
authentic news from Mafeking. but all
reports tend to confirm the belief that
Colonel Baden-Powell is holding his
own. and no credit is given TO the
vague rumor that flag OF truce had
been displayed.
A considerable engagement Is antici-
pated in the vicinity of Ladysmith to-
day. The combined advance of Beers
and Free State troops in this direction
has been executed with no inconsidera-
bic skill and shows clear appreciation
Of the British position. General Sir
George Stewart White has $4,000 men
and forty-six guns available, beside a
considerable force of volunteers, to
hold Ladysmith, and no anxiety is felt
on his account, for the Natal country,
where the engagement is expected, is
fairly open, and, although the work
of moving them will be difficult the
guns are likely to do good work.

Baton Rouge, La, June 21.-
The Railroad Commission to-day
took up the case against the Yazoo
and Mississippi Valley Railroad
Company, charged with having
failed to stop trains at several pa
IRISH seats, and especially Convent,
La. The company was fined $1,000
for its failure to do what the CON-
mission thought was clearly it's
duty. The railroad company i'm
mediately asked for a rehearins
upon the grounds of misapprehen-
sion of some of the facts in the
case. The commission granted
the request for a rehearing, and
Immediately took up the case. The
decision of the commission on the
rehearing has not been announced.
MrHunter Leske, who represents
the railroad company, thinks the
commission will reduce the fine
considerably upon the reconsider
alton.
