Contracts Today.
The Northern Pacific is said to have
designs upon Idaho in the form of
building a road.
According to a dispatch to the Ana
cOnda Standard from Lewiston, Ida,
there is to be another railroad sensation
sprung within the next few days. 1t
has leaked out through the contractors
that that road will let contracts for the
construction of the LewistOn-Riparia
extension in Spokane today.
1t is said that that corporation has
acquired the right of way of the o. r.
& n. on the north bank of the Snake
river, between Lewiston and Riparia.
About one-fourth of the grading along
this route has been finished. BY build
ing this link between the two points,
the Northern will secure a short route
from Montana points to Portland and
Puget sound.

HANGED FOR MURDER
Tom Jones to the Gallows-Negro Ex-
oduS From Raleigh.
Messenger Bureau.

NbSSoSLpSA
Raleigh, n. c., August 81.
The local event today was the exc
cution this morning of Tom Jones, the
wholesale murderer of Ella Jones and
five of her children. Thirty persons
were admitted by card as witnesses of
the execution, (which took place in a
very small enclosure in rear of the jail.
There were no less than 1000 appli-
cants for tickets of admission. Most
of these were white, but there We're
many negroes. Jones was last night
put in an upper cell and the death
watch set. He had nothing to say.
He slept very %soundly. He ate no
breakfast, drinking only a cup of cof-
fee. At a very early hour people be-
gan to gather hear the Jail, with a
morbid curiosity to see Jones as he
made his death march, that is walked
the few feet between the door of the
jail and the enclosure in which was
the gallows. Negroes n whites were
in this morbid crowd.
Your correspondent went into the
jail yesterday afternoon and saw
Jones. The scene inside was a strik-
ing one. AT the front of the hallway
of the cell block was a mass of black
and yellow faces, those of prisoners.
The sound of a voice in prayer, a wo-
mans voice, rose above everything.
Jones cell was in the rear and there
a lack woman, all in black, was
kneeling and praying, while Jone and
two other men stood in the cell. Jones,
very small, with thick lips and fiat
nose, a true African face, with chin
beard as kinky as his hair; beside him,
like a giant, Tom Smith, a mulatto
under sentence Of death for cutting
the throat of a man in Johnston coun-
ty; and next to Smith a negro charged
with rape, brought here from Fayette-
Vile to prevent lynching. These list
ened to the a AS the woman
finished it she tool up a hymn and
sang it in a high, quavering voice.
The other prisoners said that Jones
was ready to go; that he prayed with
them much of the time. Jones when
asked how he was getting on replied:
"Tolerably we'll, 1 thank you" His
thick lips murmured the words.

time, night Inc day, as high as LOO

along and absorbed the plant, which is
now, the speaker said, little more than
a repair shop, giving employment to a
few hundred people. The throwing out
of employment of so many people
caused MANI families to leave town.
Now, said Mr.. Mallard. there are 400

and business in worse than ~Stagnant.
He wanted to know here the full din

That is a good thing ana it is but
