VANCOUVER LOSES BUSINESS.
Large Alaska shippers Compelled to
Come to Seattle.

Special DISPATCH to the Post-Inte!ligencer
VANCOUVER. Il. C., May 4.-W. X.
Rudio. n well-known cattle dealer of Cal
gary. left this afternoon for Seattle to
complete arrangements for the sending
to Skagway OF n large shipment Of cattle
by the steamer City of Seattle. Two weeks
ago the Alaska Steamship Association de-
cided, at the demand of Vancouver steam
ship owners. that Puget Sound boats to
Alaska should withdraw from the Van
couver trade
The direct result is 81 loss TO local bust
ness. because of the inadequate accom-
mediation of Vancouver boats. Rudio and
his partner tried to ship their cattle from
Vancouver north. but could not find space
for them on the boats running from here,
and so are forced TO send them to Seattle.

DEATH OF JUDGE 7. ]. WILSON.
The Distinguished Jurist Passes Away in His
Eighty-Fifth Year.
Especial to News and observer,


Winston Salem, N. c., August 9.-Judge
Thomas Johnston Wilson, Winston's first
and eldest citizen, died last night in his
eighty fifth year. He had been confined
to his bed over two years.
Judge Wilson's paternal ancestors
were from Scotland. They settled in
Perquimans county, this State, about the
pear 1920. His ancestors were of the
Society of Friends. AT the age of nine
teen he taught school for few months,
after which he devoted his time to the
study of law. In 1874 he was elected
solicitor of Stokes county, and subse-
quently held the same office for twelve
years in Davidson county He married
Miss Julia Lindsay, of Guilford county,
in May, 1s47. In February, 1861, he was
elected to the proposed State convention
which by a large majority was voted
down by the people, he voting with the
majority.
In May 1861, he was elected delegate
from Forsyth county to the Secession
convention. He was present at it's or
ganization, and signed the ordinance of
secession and was one of the thirty-fo
delegates that voted for Judge Dicks
resolution to submit the ordinance of Sc
CeSSIOn 10 vote OF the people Tor It's
ratification or rejection. In 1874 he was
elected judge of the Eighth Judicial dis
trict of this State, and held the courts
of the district for the succeeding six
months, and until majority of the Su-
preme court declared that the act of the
Legislature under which he was elected
was unconstitutional, which decision re-
suited in reinstating Judge Cloud on the
bench. Judge Wilson was a member of
the General Assembly of 1S76-'77, as Sen
ator from the Thirty-second Senatorial
district, composed of the counties of
Stokes and Forsyth. He was several
times mayor of the city of Winston,
financial agent for the county, and ac-
ceptably filled many other positions of
trust and honor.
Judge Wilson was virtually the father
and founder of the First Presbyterian
church in this city. He donated the
ground on which the church and manse
now stands. He and few others built
the first house of worship. He was
one of the eight original members, the
first elder and first clerk of the session.

SERIOUS CUTTING AFFAIR IN WAYNE.
One of the Best Citizens of Providence Town
ship Fatally Hurt.
Especial to News and observer)

Goldsboro, N. c., August "a serious
cutting affair took place in Providence
township, near Goldsboro on Wednesday
in which Robert Davis, one of the best
citizens of that section of the county,
was stabbed twice in the back by a man
named Faulkner, the stab penetrating to
the lungs and producing wounds which,
it is feared, will prove fatal.
1t seems that an older brother of Faulk-
ner had married a daughter of Davis, and
that Faulkner was Republican and
Davis Democrat. The older Faulkner
got angry during the campaign and at
the election and had threatened to whip
a Mr.. Cox, who was the registrar at
Providence, and had been in a general
bad humor about the election. He lived
on Davis land, and on Wednesday Mr..
Davis went out to the tobacco barn,
where the older Faulkner was at work,
and that Faulkner became very angry and
abused Davis and ordered him to leave;
that Davis started to leave and Faulkner
ran at him and knocked him down with
a chair and got on him. Davis managed
to get up with Faulkner still on his
back, pushed him off, threw him down
and was beating him with his fist when
the younger Faulkner ran up and stabbed
Davis in the back twice with a knife
Young Faulkner was arrested this
morning and he is now in Jail in Colds
boro. From what can be learned of the
matter the assault on Mr.. Davis was en-
tirely unprovoked.
