Moorehead City, N. c., June 49,
Wednesday night about II o'clock,
near the scene where e. B. Weeks was
murdered last week, Louis Patrick, COL
ored, who had been taken from Beau
fort Jail the previous night, was killed.
Seventy-five shots were fired, and his
body was riddled with bullets. The
people heard the firing, but nobody
was seen. 1t Is supposed that when
the mob found on Wednesday morning
that they were followed they hid Pat
rick on Dog Island and kept him there
during the daylight.

Washington, June 1.-THE French
ambassador, NJ. Cambon, will on June
Is receive from the university of Har-
ward the degree of LID, in recogni-
ton Of the distinguished public SER
vices he performed in the negotiations
which restored peace between the Uni
ted States and Spain. Harvard has
conferred this degree on President
Cleveland, Secretary Bayard and other
noted public men, but this is probably
the only instance in which the ambas-
sador of foreign power has received
such distinguished honor from
leading American university.

London, June 16,-The Times says:
"The hull of the Shamrock is made of
new alloy of extreme lightness and
strength Nothing could be smoother
than the under water surface it makes.
The yacht is unlike the later challen-
gers in many respects. but the model,
except in the matter of draught, is
largely that of the 52-rater Saint,
though it embodies much of what was
successful in the Ailsa."

THERE seems to be disposition
on the part of somebody to hinder
the extension of the Wilmington
City Railway over Washington
street bridge. The people residing
on the Boulevard are very anxious
to have rapid transportation given
them. The Railway Company has
signifed its willingness to do the
work, but do not think it should be
so restricted by the Levy Court.
No obstacles should be laid in the
way of improvements to the Boule-
ward.

The formation of great compan.
les to control the different branches
of business in our country is calcu-
lated to alarm men of small means,
who are dependent on the employ
ment OF their hands for a livelihood.
1t is charged that the trusts, after
squeezing out small establishments
by a reduction of prices, will ad-
vance prices and force the people
to pay too much for the use of the
articles manufactured by them.
This action might be prevented by
counter legislation. Thusfar, how
ever, the evil feared has not been
felt. Prices of everything have
been very reasonable and there has
been no reason to complain. 1t is
only great establishments that can
compete with the manufacturers of
Europe and send their goods to for
eign countries. If we expect to
compete with Europe, we must
match them in capital and skill.

If THE present fractional fight in
Delaware continues, it means Demo-
cratic supremacy for years to come.
Then what will any Republican
get out of the muddle? Democratic
supremacy means new city char
ter, Democrat for sheriff, coroner
and every county office. What is to
be gained by such foollshness? If
the fight continues, more than
enough Republicans voters, who are
independent in their voting, will
stay away from the polls and thus
make the elections unanimously
Democratic. 1t is time something
was being done by the leaders OF
z both the factions to heal the breach
and get together, if the party is to
amount to anything in Delaware

Luccheni,. P.nisnment.

A friend, intimate with the prison
system Of Switzerland, was telling me
the otherday of the fearful torture that
the sentence of perpetual seclusion
passed on Luccheni, the assassin of
the empress of Austria, involves. For
the first six months he, will be in a
dungeon eight feet under ground,
where never sound is heard, and only
the faintest streak of light is admitted.
He dare not speak to his jailers, and
the punishment is severe if he makes
the slightest remark, unless it is in re.
ply to a question. When his spirit is
broken by this treatment he is removed
to better-situated cell, but the same
silence prevails. To the end of his
days the powers of speech and hearing
are denied him. AS rule, the prison
ers go raving mad.-To-Day.

MAY HAVE TO GOVERN HAYT1
The United States Government Likely
to Interfere to Stop Vicious
Practices.

A mulattress with plump baby in
her arms reached Philadelphia ON .
sailing vessel from Hayti the other day
and declared her eager desire to be-
come resident of the United States.
It was necessary for her to get bond
as guarantee that she would not be-
come public charge, and while the in.
cidental formalities were in progress
somebody asked her why she had
come from tropical island and her
own people to live among strangers,
where the making Of living is a task
by no means easy. The woman an
swered with an earnestness, that said
much for her sincerity and something
for her accuracy, that she left Hay1i
because the season for certain canni-
balistic rites in the district where she
lived were coming on, and that her
child would have been killed and eaten
il she had not left the country.
This horrible charge has been made
against the Haytians many times and
as often denied by them, but the de-
malls have not carried the weight of
the accusations, and the best authori-
ties regard it at least as highly prob
able that in parts of the black repub-
lie heathenish customs of the most
frightful sort have been practiced ever
since the expulsion of the French. The
Hay tians are now very close neighbors
Of our own, and it remains to be seen
what the consequences of this prox-
unity will be. The old isolation is sure
to be broken down, business and other
relations with Americans are inevita-
BILE, and existing conditions in Hayti
may we'll become as uncomfortable to US
as were those of Cuba under Spanish
rule.
Even if cannibalism is a mere
sporadic crime in Hayti, there are
other things there practically worse
and morally almost as bad about which
there is no doubt whatever. The gov
eminent is corrupt and sanguinary,
and the treatment of white foreigners
is often atrocious. The Haytians have
bad many years in which to develop
the power Of self-government, but they
remain far below the standard Of
civilization, and harsh critics declare
that they are sinking rather than ris-
ing. Moreover, this island is potential
~ of great value. There is basis for
prophecy in that fact.-N. Y. Times.
