The managers Of the Central strike
said this was not exactiysa sympathetic
movement, for 1t was their desire mot
to extent the strike until after the eff
fort at settlement with Superintendent
Wait was made. The freight handlers
had previously served demand on the
several roads for an increase in wages
and thought this an opportune time to
press the question. Their strike will
block the transfer houses and interfere
with the operations OF the Central, the
Erie, the Lehigh Valley, the West
Shore and their western connections
as every road is involved in 1t.

Baseball Association Rules

The following rules for the government
of the State Baseball Association recent
ly organized at Raleigh were adopted:
No players may be exchanged except
by the consent of the president of the
league.
The umpires are to have the same au-
thority as the umpires of the National
League.
Visiting teams, while guaranteed their
expenses, have the option of sharing the
gate receipts.
The season is to open June 25th, and
series OF fifty-One games is to be played.
The initiation fee for membership in
the Association is fixed at $500.
Admission to the games has been
fixed at % cents. Children under IL will
be charged Is cents, and gentlemen oc-
cupying places in the grand stands will
be charged 10 cents additional.
The provisions as to umpire are espe-
cially commendable as that official under
authority conferred will have power to
fine or eject for reason from the grounds.
The usual clubbing and delays in a game
characteristic in many instances of
amateur ball will be eliminated.

Should be Required to Run to Depot

To the Editor Why is it that the citi-
zens of Raleigh submit to such an out
rage as to allow the street cars to stop
three blocks from the Union depot, when
the track is laid to the very door? 1t
is great Inconvenience to the travelling
public, whose convenience should be con-
suited rather than the interest of the
livery stables. 1t is the only city in
North Carolina where such a system pre-
walls. Go to Charlotte, to Asheville,
Winston or any of our progressive cities,
and the street cars run to the depot.
Why cannot Raleigh do the same?
have heard the assertion scores of times,
that one can judge of Raleigh by it's
street cars. They tell me the company
says it does not pay to run them to the
depot. Does that mean that the livery
men pay them bigger price not to run
them there, than they could make by
doing so?
1t certainly has tendency to give Raj
egh black eye, and l hope, for the
credit of the Capitals progress that a
change may be demanded by her people.

HIS LYNCHING Is FEARED.
OFFICER KILLED BY A DESPERATE NEGRO
Constable Lancaster Shot by Negro That lie
Was Trying to Arrest at Saulston, in
Wayne County. Great indignation
Over The Two Crimes.

On last Wednesday, in Greene
county. a negro farm hand named
Isaac Harris, made an attempt TO
rape Mrs. Robert Sugg.
On Thursday Harris was caught
and placed in jail at Snow Hill. Since
then there has been much talk OF
lvnching and the wiser and cooler
heads of the community have had
about all they could do to prevent it.
Robert Sugg is a respectable and
well-to-do farmer. His wife is the
daughter of ex-Sheriff Grant. OF
Wayne county. Both the Grant and
Sugg families are well connected and
have many friends in the two coun-
ties. u
The feeling against the negro is full
.lv as strong in Wayne as in Greene.
but for the wise counsel of several
prominent men in Goldsboro MOP
would have been formed there Friday
night to go to Snow Hill and hang
Harris.
The negro worked on the Sugg plan
tation, and while Mr.. Sugg was OFF
i'm the field he went to the house and
told Mrs Sugg he was going TO quit
work. He asked her TO look at the
books and tell him how much was
due him for work. As she went into
the house to comply with the requeS:
he followed. and selling her attempt
ed to throw her on the bed. Being
quite a strong woman, however, she
fought him and by holding on to the
window ledge defeated his efforts.
Then he told her he was sick and
commanded her to press his head.
This she did, hoping thereby to gain
time that some one might come to
her rescue. But no one came and
the negro renewed eshis attempt al
outrage. Again breaking from hiIn
she ran to the window eXclaiming
"Yonder comes Mr.. Sugg."
Believing it, the negro made a brea \
for the door and escaped into the
woods. where he was caught next
dav He is now i'm Jail at Snow Hill.
Harris is a young. impUdent sort of
neero-just the kind Of fellow that is
ever the author Of outrages like this
Ex-Sheriff Grant, VINO, though a
Democrat, has been fighting the
Amendment, is now one of the strong
est advocates of it in North Carolina
Another outrage that occurred on
the same day was the killing of Con
stable Lancaster, at Saulston. il
Wayne county, by q negro named
White. The facts of the killing were
about as follows:
Lancaster had a warrant for White
who lived in the country and had been
in trouble. He went to arrest him
but White saw him coming and fled
Lancaster shot several times TO STOP
him, but failed to do so.
That night, however, the officer
heard that the negro was hiding in Z
mill at SaulstOn. He went there foi
the purpose of arresting him. but be
fore he had reached the mill White
opened fire upon him with deadly Ell
feet. He was shot in the abdome:
and died a few hours afterwards.
The negro escaped. He is very
desperate character. it is said, and has
often been in trouble.

Rutherfordton, n. c., June l6.-Captain
John B. Eaves, eX-chairman of the Re

collector of internal revenue, died at
his home near here at 1890 o'clock to-
