CHANGING TO A BROAD GAUGE
The Survey is Now Being Made and Work is
in Progress.
Especial to News and Observer)

Especial to News and ObServer.)
Newton, n c., Sept. Your correspon-
dent has Just returned from near Lin
coInton where force of surveyors under
MI. Robert Erwin. of Morganton, are en-
gagged in surveying and laying out the
change that will be made in the Carolina
and Northwestern Railroad. The new
route will leave the present road just
after it crosses the railroad bridge below
Harden and will then run along the
river past the Harden Manufacturing
Company's mill. the mill of the High
Shoals Manufacturing Company, then past
the Long Shoals mills and the Lincoln mill
and then by the Laboratory mill and the
mill Of the Daniels Manufacturing Com
pany The road will pass through the
western part of Lincolnton and then meet
the present road again. The money asked
from these mills has already been sub
scribed and the change is certainty.
The surveyors have reached Lincolnton
and the road is now ready for grading
The amount of freight received from these
mills will be of great benefit to the rail-
road company. A depot will probably be
built at Long Shoals.
Roadmaster Fletcher has already had
over three miles of heavy rails laid be-
tween Maiden and Lincolnton. Work will
begin in earnest all along the road this
week and a broad gauge road Will soon
be a reality.

THEY SUSPECT POISON.
Authorities Exhume Bodies:of persons Dying
Under Peculiar Circumstances.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.)
Boston, August 31.-A special from
Cataumet, to the Herald says:
ut is rather unusual for four persons
in one family to meet death within a
period of one month. Yet this occurred
in the case of Mr.. and Mrs. Alden 2.
Davis, and their two daughters, Mrs.
Irving Gibbs and Mrs. Henry Gordon,
the latter of Chicago, the deaths taking
place only a few weeks ago.
Someone started a rumor that these
persons or at least two of them, did
not die from natural causes. Finally
the district attornew ordered an inVes-
tigation and Joseph Whitney, of the
State police force, was instructed to
conduct an autopsy on the bodies oil
Mrs. Gordon and Mrs. Gibbs. An un
dertaker exhumed the bodies yesterday
and an autopsy was held in the presence
of Medical Examiner Faunce, State De-
tective Whitney, Professor Whitney,
and Professor Wood, of Harvard Col
lege.
while Professor Wood had undoubt-
edly been requested by Captain Paul
Gibbs to attend the autopsy, he was also
present as an expert employed by the
State and to this custody were intrusted
the organs of the two bodies for chemi-
cal analysis. This, in the minds Oh
many, shows that the authorities are
looking for poison. The fact that the
Jacin House, which was the home of the
Davis family, was set on fire four or
five times during the interval between
the death of Mrs. Davis and her young
er daughter, is considered as having an
important bearing on the case.
Whether the bodies of Mr. and Mrs.
Davis are to be exhumed depends on
the result of the autopsy yesterday.
The result of the autopsy performed
will not be made known for several
days"

1t Shows That Practically All Eligible to Pub
lie Institutions are Native Born.
(By the Associated Press. }


Washington, Sept. 2.-The Census Blu
reau has issued a bulletin giving the
number of persons of school, militia and
voting ages in the State of North Caro-
lima for the census year 1900.
In North Carolina persons of school age
are practically all of native birth, the
foreign born element of this class consti-
tuting only one tenth of l per cent. of
the whole number in the State. Colored
persons of school age constitute in North
Carolina 349 per cent. of the whole num-
Der of persons of school age and COM
Males Of militia age practically all of ma
tive birth.
In North Carolina males of voting age
are substantially all of native birth, only
six tenths of l per cent. of the whole
number being of foreign birth.
Among males of voting age, as whole,
there is a considerable proportion of illit-
crates, the percentage being 29.4 per cent
This somewhat large percentage is due
principally to the presence among males
of voting age of large number of Hitter
ate persons of negro descent.
The numbers for North Carolina are:
Children of school age, 753,S26, of whom
$50 are foreign born, 263, O44 colored, 49,

TO MURDER HER
Many Now Think Francis
Got Blood Money.

Mss Henderson Killed. The Chase
Practically Abandoned
CBy the Associated Press,


Kansas City, Mo-, August 31.-The
hunt for Bessie Francis, the alleged
murderer of Miss Mary Henderson. at
Columbus, has shifted to Strasburg,
west of Holden. Every foot of country
around that town is being secured. At
noon it was believed the posse was close
to the fugitive.
The killing of Miss Henderson took a
sensational turn this afternoon when the,
chase was practically given up. The
bloodhounds refused to take the scent
and it was limited broadly that the fugi-
tive had made good his escape by the
aid of white persons. A special from
Strasburg says:
Many original members of the posse
have given up in disgust and have dis
carded their guns, saying they regret
the search ever was begun. There are
dozens of men in Johnson county, who
believe that Francis was paid to muir
der Miss Henderson by white persons
who wanted to get her out of the way.
AS the, case stands now it is believed that
Francis, if captured, will be tortured
for the purpose of making him tell what
he knows"

time limit of five and one half hours.
At $50 this evening the contest came
to an inglorious conclusion, two miles
to the eastward of Brenton's Rect
Iightship. At that time the Columbia
led by a good quarter of a mile. The
course was triangular, ten nauticai
miles to a leg.
After crossing the line at exactly the
same moment six seconds after gunfire

berth. the Columbia worked out ana
getting her wind free, forged ahead.
Tic Constitution tackled off shore ana
shortly after the Columbia followed,
going up to windward and passing her.
From then to the wndward mark it was
nothing but steady gain for the old
boat and when both had rounded it was
found that the Columbia had gained
four minutes and fifty-five seconds, the
worst beating the Constitution had yet
received. On the second leg the wind
fell very light and the Constitution
bringing it up with her gained slightly.
After rounding the second mark, four
minutes and thirty seconds behind and
starting for home, the Constitution car
ried up about all the wind there was
and passed her rival. Shortly after the
race was called off with the Columbia
