A VERY SAD CASE.
Young Man Arrested for Beating
His Child Wife.

STANTON, VA, May 22.-(Special)--A
sad story of domestic dlscord was dis
closed this afternoon. when Clayborne
Coiner was arrested. charged with beating
his girl wife, and also with feloniously
assauling with a razor Sheriff n. C..
Watts, the father Of the wife. 1t is
charged that at their home, near Fishers
vile, last month, Coiner beat his bride
so severely that Tor days her body show
ed signs OF bruises. An attempt was
made TO hush the story, and Captain G.
Benton Coner and Sheriff Watts did al
in their power to bring harmony out Of
discord. Later Mrs. Coiner's life at her
husbands home became uncomfortable, and
Sheriff Watts went down to Coners.
Coiner, who Is youth of q years of age,
met him at the door and repulsed him
with a razor, but the father finally found
his child. Even then the Sheriff stroye
to avoid a parting OF the young people,
and permitted his daughter who is but
10 years old, 10 remain at the husbands
home. Finally Mr.. Watts was compelled
by Coiners conduct to bring the child
wife to his residence, in this city, and
warrants were issued, as above set forth.
Deputy-Sheriffs Denton and Nisewander
arrested Coiner at his fathers home this
afternoon, and brought him before Justice
Gochenour. When the case came up.
owing 10 the Illness and prostration of
Sheriff Watts. it was continued until We'd
nesday, and the accused was baiied, his
father, Captain c. Benton Coiner, being
the bondsman. A. c. BraKton represents
the accused The affair has so aroused
the indignation of the community that
the Sheriff directed Deputy j. S. Denton
to escort Colner TO his fathers home, so
that no violence should befall him.
The case is an especially sad one. Mr..
and Mrs. Coiner We're married at the
home OF Sheriff Watts on February the
Sth and a large reception was given them
by Captain Conner on their return from
the wedding journey. The wife is a pretty
child. and no whisper Of blame for the
wretched condition OF affairs has been
heard. Coiner's ungovernable rage is in
explicable. Both families are among the
most prominent in this county.

THE CRAIG LAW.
4 Decision of Interest Ina North Caro-"
lima Insurance Circles.

RALEIGH, n. c., May 22.-(Special)-
Insurance Commissioner Young asked the
Acknowledgement for an opinion as to
whether the Craig" bill, passed by the
recent Legislature, requiring all insu-
rance companies to become domesticated
in this State after June LIST, was not re-
pealed by the general insurance law,
known as the Willard bill, ratified after
wards Tonight he has tho opinion OF
Attorney-General Walser. in which the
latter holds that the Craig bill Is noe
repealed but must be complied with. He
also holds that companies can continue
TO do whatever is necessary TO carry OUT
contracts made prior to its passage. This
enables life companies to collect upon
old business in the state IL they do not
write new business under the present law.
Commissioner Young says many COM
panies signify their intention OF complying
with the Craig bill. but OF limiting the
time. To-day the Mutual Reserve Fund
Life Association. which had domesticated
itself, withdrew its charter and gave mo-
tice OF withdrawal from North Carolina.

malady was pneumonia. Mr.. Karnes was
born in Allegheny county. AT the out

GREETINGS FROM CUMBERLAND.
Reception OF Returned Missionaries.
Four Interesting Addresses.

When the assembly reconvened the
greetings of the Cumberland Assembly
were received and read as follows:
General Assembly Of the. Cumberland
Presbyterian church gratefully acknowl-
! edges receipt Of your salutations and
heartily reciprocates the same, with the
PRAYER that you may sit together in hea-
| veniy places in Christ Jesus.
81. NJ. HALLSELL,
Moderator.
81. NJ Hubert, Stated Clerk"
The returned missionaries were present
ed TO the assembly by Rev. p. +. Price
after Introductory remarks by Rev. Dr..
Kerr The church was crowded at this
time, and special hymns were sung.
Rev. samuel Phillips Werner. for three
years missionary TO Africa, was the first
speaker. He detailed in very interest
ing way, the circumstances of his ar
rival in the country Of Bokkuba, and his
courteous reception by Dombi. the chief
tain. He delivered message from Dom
b. beseeching the white man to send
friends 10 the country of the Bokkubi,
who would teach them Of Christ, and
train up the children TO be good men and
women.
Rev. William c. buchanan, formerly of
this city and for eight years missionary
10 Japan, was the next speaker He spoke
Of the effects Of the new civilization,
which has done so much for the F'lowery
Kingdom, but has done nothing towards
the salvation Of souls. There are in Japan
over 100000 people who have never
had the Gospel preached to them. Only
twcnty-sX years ago edcts were promul-
gated imposing death as a penalty Of the
reception OF the Gospel, and the effect of
these edicts is felt TO the present day.
He cOntroverted the charge that Japanese
Christians do nothing for the support of
the work in their own community. 1t
was absolutely unjust. he said. and he
cited numerous facts IN support of this
contention. The records of last year
show that each member Of the Church
contributed So, which. considering their
poverty. was remarkable. The Church in
Japan could not be self-supporting. for
the reason that when one community be-
came self-supporting the missionary
moved to another field. There was need
for more missionaries.
Rev. Mark ID. Greer, for many years
worker In the mission field at China.
the largest Of all missionary fields.
where one is never out OF sight OF
living person or the grave Of a dead one:
IL allowed 10 select n text, re said. he
would take the words: Behold | set
before you an open door" He gave an
account Of the opening Of certain import
ant ports OF China, as the result Of the
so-called opium war, and the opportunity
thus presented FOR the evangeization Of
China. IL was truly an open door that
God had set before It's church. The
steady and rapid advance Of Roman
was a pressing reason for the
OF Protestant missionary
work. Very earnestly he presented the
claims OF the Chinese. physical as well
as spiritual.
