A bitter n scandal developing CON-
troversy is being Waged by representa-
tiVeS of the eVera factions. The
state board purchases all Whiskey used

and shipped under the direction of the
commissioner, who also bottles Illicit
whiskey seized by the ~constabulary.
1t is charged chat DOuthit
aged the sale of contraband liquors;
that he bottled inferior liquor with
labels of superior grades and THAT he
endeavored to advance the sales of the
liquor bought from certain Whiskey

Waseca. MINI, October 23.-Rev. p.
IL. McCabe, a well known Roman Cath
Ollie clergyman, is dead OF Bright's dis
Ease at St. Mary's, a small mission
near Waseca His death recalls an ex-
psoit of international interest in which
he was conspicuous actor. It was Fa-
ther McCabe who was instrumental
in I~iberating the politicsA prisoner.
John Boyle O'Reflley, who AFTERWARDS
became the noted American poet.
O'Reiiley was detected ~propagating
feniantsm in England He was arrest
ed and sentenced to penal servitude-
Father McCabe was stationed at the
Australian prison as chaplain and to
him OReIlley confided his intention OF
making his a The priest offered
to aid him. On a dark night in 1869 the
two met by appointment and the priest
and the prisoner exchanged clothes. In
his disguise O'Reilley departed in an
open BOAT without food or drink. After
three days of terrible exposure he was
picked up by an American whaler ard
carried to Liverpool. Thence he made
his way quickly TO the United States.

Raleigh. n. c., October g.

Raleigh, N. c., October o.
There were quite heavy frosts yes
terday and today. which did no dam
age. Nearly all the cotton on uplands
is picked. Nearly the whole crop will
have been ginned by November 1st.
Many people from here will go to the
fair, carnival and horse show at Win
ston MS week. Its social eatures will
be second only to those at the state
fair here last week.
There is absolutely no bankruptcy
business here. The officials declare 1t
to be but another evidence of the great
prosperity prevailing.
The declaration is now made that
the greatest mistake at the last legis-
lative session was the failure to i'm
peach Governor Russell. There was
evidence enough and he knew it. Some
day, after his term ends and he re-
tires from public life in North Caro-
lima, the story may be told of how mar
rowly he escaped impeachment.
The Spanish rapid-fire cannon from
the flagship Maria Christine, given to
this city by the cruiser Raleigh, has
been put in precisely the same condi-
ton as when it was placed or the flag
ship, as to paint, polish and bronzing.
Last week this cannon was the SUI
preme attraction at the state museum.
At least 5000 people went there ex-
preSSly to see it.
The latest arrival at the museum is
an enormous diamond rattle-snake,
from craven county, length seven feet
six inches, diameter -four inches.
lobe Marshall, for twenty years the
janitOr of the city hall here, died yes
terday of heart disease.
Superintendent Day, of the penitenti-
airy, says there is now no sort of doubt
that it will this year make both ends
meet. He is angry because of the
statement by Chairman Young and 9TH
er directors that there has, from the be-
ginning, been business friction etwee
Day and the directorate.
The late Mr.. A. T. Page in his will
bequeathed the Academy of Music to
the Methodist orphanage here, half the
rental to go to his widow during her
life, but in case the orphanage does
not want to take this gift it is to be
given So, 500 in cash..
The supreme court decides in a case
IN which it was claimed tina the Mu-
tual Reserve Fund Life Insurance Com
pany had secured excessive assess
ments from a policy-holder, that while
the ourtS here can not regulate the
inner workings of a charter
ed IN another state, yet that when a
claim becomes a death-claim the courts
here can give a judgment against the
! company, not only for the amount Of
the pocily but also for the amount of
excessive assessments. The case goes
oWdrds warning people to examine
carefully the kind of contracts they
| MAXI with companies chartered in
other states.

are extracts:
The Daily Telegraph says: General
Trench commenced the action at $50
o'clock a. m. The enemy had only Just
finished coffee when they were urpris
ed and nearly all u prisoners were
caught in the vicinity of the captured
train. The mining and railway officials
escaped from the enemy n came in
to us, to the number of thirty-Seven
whites, beside many natives and coolies.
Both Of the latter classes had been
robbed and compelled to work by the
Beers, but the whites were treated fair
ly we'll, though they were made to take
an oath to remain neutral, etc. A Boer
sergeant, a native Of Cape Colony, hid
his rifle and came in with twenty of
his late captives.
THE Manchester regiment, with the
characteristic of hardihood, all march

the rafting, kissing and splitting of the
Mauser bullets. Tommy Atkins says

The Daily News says THE final

strewn at their feet. The Beers recoil-
ing, fired wildly and then dashed down
the rugged steep to escape the annihi.

Sir Thomas Gives Notice of Challenge
in 1901.

New York, October 23.-The crew of
the Shamrock began work early this
morning, stripping the yacht of her
racing rigging at her berth in the Erie
basin. Her topmast was sent down on
deck and hen transferred to her sto-
rage lighter, after which her running
gear was unrove and all her sails TAX
red to the lighter. Captain Hogarth
said that he expected to take the mast
off tomorrow and to have the yacht I'M
der jury rig by the end of the week.
Tomorrow night Captain Hogarth,
Captain Wringe and the Shamrock's
crew will meet Captain Barr n the
victorious Deer Isle boys from the Co
lumbia in Prospect hall, Brooklyn. A
feast and general entertainment has
been prepared for the v~anquished and
the victors by the yacht masters, yacht
engineers and yacht officers associa-
ton. A variety entertainment will be
| provided after dinner.
Sir Thomas Upton will go to Chicago
tomorrow. He has also expressed his
intention of challenging in 1901, as he
does not care to try to get ready for
next year. He will give way, however,
to anybody desiring to challenge be-
fore him.
Will Fife, the designer of the Sham
rock, is still very seriously i'll at the
Fifth Avenue hotel. So much is n suf-
fering from infiammatory rheumatism
hat a frame had to be built over his
bed to prevent even the bedclothes
touching him. 1t is said hat it is eX-
trenely doubtful if he can return to
England with Sir Thomas Upton.

FARNSWORTH CASE ON
Second Hearing of the Suit For
$112,250.
WILL TAKE THREE WEEKS
NEVADA COMPANY BEGINS ITS
EVIDENCE.
ILL TAKE THREE WEEKS
NEVADA COMPANY BEGINS ITS
j. Y. Phelps Stokes Placed On the
Stand Yesterday Afternoon -
Statement of What the Plaintiff
Expects to Prove - The Defend
ants Side-Federal Court Notes.

The second trial of the suit of the
Nevada Mining company against Philo
T. Farnsworth was begun in the Unit
ed States court The first trial resulted
in a disagreement by the jury. At the
time of that hearing The Herald pub
lished full notes of the evidence. 1t Will
be remembered that the company
which in reality is Arson phelps
Stokes and his son, j. G. Phelps
Stokes. asks a judgment for Slll,2oO
against Farnsworth.
1t is claimed and Judge Dey in his
opening speech yesterday said the evil
dence would show that Farnsworth,
while acting as general manager and
director in the Nevada company,
bought mining claims and other prop
erty and sold them to the company at
greatly increased prices. One speclhc
instance alleged was the purchase or
the lone gold mine, for which II is as
serted Farnsworth paid only $4,000, al
though he charged the company up
with $150,000 for it.
Other transactions of similar ma
ture are charged, which Melted the de-
PENDANT 1,25O a total of $lll,25O.
Farnsworth's defense is that he never
acted as agent, manager or director of
the Nevada company. The deals were
made, he asserts. on his personal ac-
count, and he had a right to pocket all
profits accruing from them. 1t is ex-
pected that about three weeks time
will be required to complete the hear
ing.
A special venire had to be ordered by
Judge Marshall before jury could be
secured. Only four of the original
panel were accepted. AS finally made
up the jury is composed of G.. w. Bird
well. p j. Moran, Wilson Cole, II. p.
Johnston. r. NJ. Anderson, d. S. Spen-
Ger, j. P. Mahan, ]. G. Lyon, F. G.
.Naylor. ]. S. Jensen, 7. r. Cutler and
S H. Hill.
Judge Dey made the opening speech
for the plaintiff yesterday afternoon. ].
G. Phelps Stokes was the first witness.
He was on the stand under direct eX-
animation when court adjourned for
the day. It is probable that it will re-
uuire two or three days for him to
finish his testimony.
