hand of an assassin, as our President
died. remember it was His will No act
is without its penalty. This was Gods
child, and He said touch not one of
them, and He viii forever hold to ac-

He that sheds mans blood" etc. Mr..
Tuttle read from the records the ques-
tions and answers on the occasion of
Miss Cropsey's joining the church, Oc-
tober 18th, this year. These are the
VOWS she assumed few short weeks
before going" he continued: Il am so
glad she did. Though absent from our
midst she is present with her God"
There was quiet weeping and many moist
eyes among the auditors.
The military company which has been
guarding the Jail since Friday evening

porary, for the Reserves are subject to

feared
The Jail in which young Wilcox, who
was arrested for alleged participation in
Miss Cropseys death, lies is only
stones throw from the church Wilcox
knew the funeral was in progress, but
showed no emotion and merely inquired
if large crowd were present. He is
more nervous than yesterday, but retains
much of the easy manner that has char
acterized him all through. Public senti-
ment is strong against Wilcox but there
is less talk of lynching.
Today the remains were shipped to
New York, accompanied by the uncle. The
ever present committee and a crowd Uf
citizens followed to the depot and saw
them off This is the way Elizabeth City
people do things. This is the end of Miss
Nellie Cropsey in Elizabeth City but the
conviction of the murderer is still in the
hands of the committee and they have
not disbanded, but will hound him to his
grave.
There is in town one Guy Hall today.
Crowds collected on the corners and de-
cided to ask him to leave the city. Hall
is the man who was run out of NorfoZS
because of his connection with the Can
non affair. He has been run out of Eden
ton for a similar offense and cannot re-
turn.
On the night of the disappearance of
Miss Cropsey about eleven o'clock Cap
tain Ownes and his mate on barge saw
a skiff glide across from the opposite
shore to the Cropsey side and skim under
the bushes. From his actions and other
things it is believed he is Wilcox's ally.
But time will show
Thiscasepromises to eclipse even the
Cluverius case in interest. Almost every
one now believes Wilcox guilty
1t is understood that the mayor today
told Hall that if he did not leave town
he feared he could not protect him. The
preliminary hearing of Wilcox takes place
next Wednesday morning. There is still
thirty minutes for him to account for on
the night the girl was missing and every
one is eager to know how he will do 1T.

Gus to induce Bob FitzSimmonS to meet
the champion once more, and he had
given him due notice of his whereabouts,
but neither Fitzsimmons nor any repre-
sentative of his put in an yappearance
so Delaney clinched the bargain with
Sharkey. According to the articles of
agreement the fight will take place on
any day between March II and April 80
before the club offering the best induce
ments.
Immediately James c.. Kennedy, repre-
senting J. w. Coffroth, of the Yosemite

men Immediately agreed to fight in San
Francisco under that clubs auspices.
There is just a possibility that the
men will not meet and that according to
the articles of agreement, is the chance
that Sharkey is defeated by Peter
Maher in their bout in Philadelphia in
the third week of next year. The bout
will be declared off should Sharkey sue
cumb to Maher.

Especial to News and observer).

Kinston, N. c., Dec. 30.-Miss Minnie
Evans, aged q years, governess in the
home of Mayor Geo. B. Webb. committed
suicide this morning by taking a large
quantity of carbolic acid. Miss Evans
came here from Grifton, and had been a
member of the Webb family several
years. BY them she was held in esteem
as a woman of exemplary character.
There seems to have been no cause for
the rash act other than that she had,
while a member of the Webb household,
several despondent spells in which she
threatened to commit suicide.
The act was deliberate one She
awoke about 7:10 a. m. and went out of
her room where the acid was kept for
sanitary purposes, deluted a quantity,
drank it and returned to her room,
dying in some twenty minutes there
after.
Since the suicide letter from an aunt

Berlin, Dec. 3O.-The Tageblatt this
evening prints double-leaded cable dis
patch from Washington setting forth that
the principal military and naval authori-
ties there consider that war between the
United States and Germany, sooner or
later, is inevitable.
The United States Ambassador, Andrew
d. White, informed the German newspaS
per men who called at the Embassy today
that the reports of the possibility of
war between the United States and Ger
many were the 'thinnest kind of sensa-
tional nonsense" Not one of the authori-
ties referred to in the Tageblatt's dis
patch, he added, would under any cir
cumstances, disclose such an opinion
least of all when the relations between
the two countries are SO good as at pres
ent.
Moreover" said Mr.. White, President
Roosevelt, the commander-in-c chief of
both the army and the navy if is we'll
nown, entertains not only official but per-
sonal predilections for Germany which
have been made kncwn not only officially
to the German Government, but which
have long been known among his friends.
He studied in Germany, reads and loves
German literature, and has a most sin
cere personal respect for the German En-
peror.
ANY utterance of the kind alleged by
an officer of either service, would be
sternly rebuked by President Roosevelt.
