Peter Smiths Captor Tries in Vain to Shoot
Him While He Struggles for Ere cdom-
Made His Escape But Was Recaptured
Exciting Time Experienced.

There was trouble at Water and
Church streets last night about IL
O'Clock. There was excitement, too, all
you were looking for. That there
wasn't a tragedy was the fault of the
pistol of Max Raphael, second hand
clothing dealer, not Raphael himself.
That individual did his part. but the
bull dog pistol, 81 calibre, which had
been barking at every pull of the trig
ger above a captured thiefs head to
scare him, Didn't go off when lowered
twice to the Level where it would have
done, and was meant to do, bloody
business.
PeIer Smith. .ooiored, snatch thief, is
alive in police station cell. this morn
ing because OF the failure of the pistol
to fire when placed against his era
mum by HIS oaptor. Raphael.
1t would take a New York reporter
tice to the story. There's a hero in it,
JAKE Raphael. ageo IL. son of Max
Raphael, the clothing. dealer. Under
the most shaky conditions he showed
bravery last night, where most other
boys would have showed their heels

THE ASHEVILLE EXCURSION.
Inc Largest Crowd ever Carried on
an Excursion from This Section

w O6IIlG0 0n
an Excursion from This Section.
The excursion last Tuesday
from Newton to Asheville, run
by the young ladies of the
Junior Aid Society of the
Presbyterian church of Nor
canton, was a greater success
than had been anticipated.
The proceeds from tickets
sold east of Morganton more
than paid for the train and
large crowds also went from
Morganton, Glen Alpine and
Br1dgewater. The train was
SO crowded after leaving
Brldgcwater that those wish
ing to go from Nebo and Ma
rlon could not be accommo-
dated. The train did not stop
at Nebo. At Marion, however,
a few men climbed on.
When the train reached
Morganton every seat of the
SIX cars on thetrain was taken.
Another car was added here
and was quickly filled; besides,
when the train pulled out from
the Morganton depot there
didn't look to be any spare
standing room. However,
about two hundred more peo-
pie got on at Glen Alpine and
Bridgewater. After this and
until the train reached Ashe-
vile the condition of things
may be imagined.
Another car, making eight
in all, was added for the re-
turn trip. This afforded some
relief and gave a little more
standing room. The manage
ment say that the railroad
company did not furnish all
the cars ordered.
Fortunately, however, there
was not an accident on the
trip and the most of the crowd
seemed to enjoy themselves.
The excursionists numbered
something over 800, the ma
jority of whom spent the time
in Asheville in visiting the
numerous points of interest
in and around the city on the
street car lines. Tickets tC
the Vanderbilt estate could
not be procured. Visitors
we're not admitted on this day.
A handsome profit was real
lied from the excursion and
will be applied to the payment
of a church debt.

would support any bill which Woulc
/ tend to remedy the evil.
Henry c. Rowe of New Haven SAID
the oyster growers OF the state were
interested in the matter.
F. w. Holden of Ansonia stated that
the governor had appointed a commits
sion, and the board should wait till that
commission made a report.
DR.. Lindsey described what other
states had done in the matter and that
sewage disposal and pollution was in
the hands of the state board Of health
The report of the committee on sew
age was accepted and the committee
discharged.
The next matter discussed was a res
olution saying:
Resolved, That our system of repre-
sentation should be made equitable by
requiring a specified minimum Of say
5000 or 10000 inhabitants for each rep
resentaHve."
j. G. Woodward of Hartford said the
resolution had come down from the
last meeting. Since that time the sit
uation had changed, for recently one of
the political parties had made it par
ont preclude the board from discussing
it. The Connecticut system was the
foundation of the representation Of the
general government.
P. H. Woodward went into histori-
cal discussion Of the question of repre-
sentation from it's earliest period down
to the time of the adoption of the con-
stitution in 1874.
Delegates Lincoln, Barnes and Hol-
den spoke in favor Of the constitutional
reform, but all stated that the issue
had become political one and should
be continued until the next meeting.
Mr.. Lincoln thought the board should
affiliate with the Constitutional Reform
association. He referred to Mr. Cary's
book and recommended that the men,
bers read 1t.
MIR. Holden thought that after all the
cities We're not so poorly represented as
ii appeared on paper.
The resolution by vote was carried
over to the next meeting.
The next resolution was submitted by
the New Haven CHAMBER of commerce.
and read
Resolved That the Connecticut
state board OF trade faVOrS the passage
of law reducing letter postage to one
cent for each half-ounce or fraction
thereof"
Postmaster HoWarth of New Haven
said he was not in favor of reduction
of second class matter but a much
greater necessity was the perfection of
the second class matter, allowing only
legitimate newspapers it's privileges:
also for more clerks in the larger
offices. He went into an extensive re-
view of the fact of abuse of second
class matter and the lack of clerks.
Aurelius Steward of this city pre-
scented resolution that it is the sense
of the state board that inasmuch as the
postoffice department has been at a loss
of seven millions of dollars annually
that it does not favor the reduction of
letter postage, but petitions its repre-
sentative in congress to remedy the evil
in second class matter, as defined by
the bill introduced by Congressman
Loud Of California. The resolution was
