GEO. TAYLOR'S MURDER
PITT COUNTY FURNISHES AN.
OTHER CHASTITY TRAGEDY.
BODY FOUND IN THE BURNED BUILDING
The Head and Limbs Of Mr.. Taylor Had Beer
Consumed. His Brothers Found Only
The Trunk. Robbery the
Probable Motive.

Greenville, n. c., Dec. 1S.--(Special.)-
Pitt county has added another bloody
.hpter to her history of crime, and has
pad almost REPETITION of the Dongola
tragedy of last spring, the difference be-
ne that the present one was committed
It dwelling house instead of a store,
md the fiend was more successful i'll
overing every clue to the crime.
Near Oakley, in the northern section
# the county, IA little station on the
Washington branch of the Atlantic
,oast Line Mr.. George Taylor lived
lone in a house on his fathers planta-
ion, and about a quarter of mile
rom the latter's residence. Late Satur-
lay evening young Taylor and two broth
RS went together to Oakley to do some
rading, and their father, Mr.. Sam
Taylor, being away at the time no one
VAS left at home George Taylor got
through with his trading before the
theirs, and started back alone to his
Tome about o'clock.
Not long after he left his two broth
rs also started home and when they
cached Georges house found it on fire.
they tried to put out the fire, but the
lanes had made too great progress to
,e checked. The building soon fell in,
yhen they saw the charred body of their
lrother lying just inside of where the
ront door to the house had stood. They
rot poles and dragged the remains of the
,ody out of the fire. The limbs and head
we're burned off. only the trunk of the
)ody being left.
AT this writing there is no possible
clution to the crime, but the most plaus-
hle theory advanced is that robbers en-
cred the house while Mr.. Taylor was
way and on his returning and entering
pom them unawares they murdered him
md set fire TO the house to cover the
rime. This belief is strengthened from
he fact that the house Of his father
vas also broken into Wilde his brothers
we're away and tracks were discovered
lbout both houses.
There is much excitement over the
tragedy. and everything possible will be
lone to find the perpetrators.

Great Increase in Salaries.

The News and Observer was in error
the other day in saying that the Adiu-
tant General of the State is paid only
5000. His salary was increased by the
last Legislature to $1,000. Also he
was allowed $1,000 for expenses AND
clerical assistance. But as if this were
not enough the Governor has appointe .
an Assistant Adjutant General a; a
salary Of 81 $50 year. Then he Omar
termaster General gets $3.50 year,
This makes the Adjutant Generals de-
partment-its clerical work in the offct

Beware of Food samnles.

Quite recently in New York two
deaths occurred from poisoning by the
use of powders sent to the victims by
mail. In Leavenworth, Kansas, the
other day nearly every doctor in town
was called to attend the children who
had gathered up, eaten, and been made
ill by samples of an article left at
houses by canvassers for advertising
purposes.
Alum baking powders have always
been favorite articles for this sampling
business. Yet there is nothing more
liable to lead to danger than the prac-
tice of using the various samples of
baking powder left at the door. They
are presented by irresponsible parties,
in appearance are not distinguishable
from arsenic, and indeed, in Indiana
some time since one package was
found, after it had caused the death of
the housewife, to have been mixed
with that poison.
1t is safer to refuse all samples of
food or medicine offered at the door.
Pure cream of tartar baking powders
sell upon their merits, and are pever
peddled or sampled.

Labori Is Out of Danger.

RENNEs, Aug. 15.-Labori is now
doing we'll, the doctors consider him
out of danger. He lies on his back
unable to move, but life is returning
to the leg which yesterday was thought
to be paralyzed. He has no fever, and
continues to discuss the trial. His wife
has remained at his bedside practically
ever since he was wounded. The cor.
respondent of the Associated Press
obtained complete corroboration of the
statement that the pockets of Labori's
coat were rifled yesterday while he was
lying on the ground wounded. Not
only were the pockets of his coat empt'
led, but an attempt was made to
steal the wallet in which were import
ant papers referring to the court-mar-
tial. including his notes for the cross
examination of General Mecier.

.DREYFUS GAINS
GROUND
His Speedy Aequittal May
Be Expected.

New YORK. Aug. 16.-Joseph Rein
arch cabled the following statement tc
the Journal and Advertiser:
| "The shooting of Labori will warm
up the atmosphere of the court, as ii
! has disgusted honest men. The at,
tempted assassination is not the out
come of weak mind; it is part of a
general plan, cold-blooded, premedl-
tated and paid for.
"The crime syndicate of assassina-
tion feared Labori and wanted his
life and documents. The same men
are responsible for the razor that cut
Henry's throat; for the rope which
hung Locrinier and the pistol that
shot Labori. History furnishes no ex-
ample of crime so atrocious.
"The plot includes the murder of
Oreyfus, if acquitted. The murderers
who ordered the assassination will vet
be caught No compromise verdict is
possible now. The judges who hither-
to would have been willing to throw
sop to the anti-Dreyfusards, will now
make no concession.
"They stole Labori's papers to
feed the dossier. My letter, whihc
was among the stolen documents, will |
not give the dossier much nourlsh-
ment. 1t will doubtless be claimed |
by the murder party that the anglo
German syndicate hired the man to
shoot Labori in order to awaken
for Dreyfus.
1.-The army accusers are now in full
retreat and hoping for revolution.
There have been several com binations
made to murder Dreyfus. The mur-
1erer has many accomplices. The
plot has platform of two planks:
First, subversion of the republic; Sec
ond, the murder of those who denounce
The gang of forgers.
La5ori's blood stirs honest souls.
Look forward to speedy acquittal of
Dreyfus." ;"
