EX.GOY,C.H. BROGDEN
Dies at His Rome in Wayne County,
North Carolina.
WAS A MAN OF HONEST MOTIVES.
Was Governor of North Carolina and
Also Served Two lerms In Con-
CESS.

Goldsboro, N. c., Special.-After a
lingering illness, due in part to the
weight of years, Ex-Governor Curtis h.
Brogden passed away at his home near
this city at the hour of o'clock Fri
day afternoon
Governor Brogden was most re-
markable man in many respects. At
one time in life, by rigid economy, he
amassed quite fortune the bulk Oh
which he lost on personal security for
his party confreres. He was born In
1916 and was, therefore. in hds 50eh
year. He served his native county
Wayne, In the legislature OF 1888 anu
1s4o. Following this for some Is years
he was Comptroller Of the treasury. In
1872 he was elected Lieutenant Gov
ernor on the Republican ticket, with
Governor Tod R. Caldwell and sue
ceeded to the Governors chair on the
death of the latter. Subsequently he
served two terms in Congress, as the
Representative from this district.
His was an trreproachable life, hon
est in all his dealings. He leaves an
estate worth between $4,000 and $lO,-
OC0. He never married. On New
Years day he lay in bed, weak and al
most bereft of sight, but chatted pleas
antly and we'll with friends about the
year and century just closed. His
mind seemed lmbued with the politi-
cal history OF the country when ne
was a prominent factor, Immediately
following the days Of Reconstruction,
and, two days before his death, ne
seemed to be absorbed, in his semi
conscious condition, with the innoVa-
ttons that have taken place in recent
wears and counselled return to the
old constitutional ways OF conducting
governmental affairs as being safer
than by the rapid expansion OF ma
hional authority among the world
powers.
He died possessed Of an extensive
library, consisting Of political, literary
social and religious works, all OF which
have been well preserved. His mind,
a. short time before LIS death, was per-
fectly clear, and while he expressed
desire to live, yet he appeared ready
for the summons to come up higher.

Sheriff of Abbevilie.

Governor McSweeney finds that un-
der the statute law he has the authori-
ty to appoint the successor to Sheriff
Kennedy, OF Abbeville. This is some
what unexpected, but the statute law
requires that the governor shall ap-
point a sheriff where a vacancy oc-
ours from any cause. Governor Nc
Sweeney has written the Abbeville
delegation that If it be the desire to
have a primary it will be acceptable
TO him, but if the delegation wish to
recommend some one for appointment
lie will appoint whoever the delegation
recommends, presuming, OF course,
that a suitable person be suggested. It
Is likely that a primary will be held.

If there were no such things in the
world as time locks. the Presbyterian
church at Mount Joy, Penn. would
be $500 richer than it is. The story is
queer, and therefore interesting. The
Rev. David Conway, while pastor Of
the church in question, was thrown
from his carriage in May. 1899, and
received injuries which soon caused
his death. When he realized that his
end wes near. Mr.. Conway sent for
a lawyer ard made his will, giving,
among other bequests, $4,000 to his
church. He was at once told that such
a bequest, if made within 80 days
before death. was invalid, so he
signed an order directing the Mount
Joy National bank to turn over to H.
w. Hartman, member of the con-
gregation, bonds to the value of $500,
which he had on deposit, and these
Mr.. Hartman was to transfer to the
church. Mr.. Hartman Immediately
endeavored to get the securities. but
the bank vaults were protected by
time lock. and they could not be
opened until the next morning. Mr..
Conway died in the night, while the
vault doors were still immovable. and
consequently, though the bank gave
the bonds to Mr.. Hartman as soon as
It could. he was forced to hold them
until legal decision as to their proper
disposition could be secured. The de-
cision has just been rendered, and it
is that the securities must be added
to Mr.. Conway's estate and divided
according to the valid provisions of
his will. The Presbyterian church nat.
urally regards the case as hard one,
and it's elders have their doubts
whether time locks are to be num-
bered among the valuable inventions
OF the age.s

A Massachusetts leather man pre-
diets an easing down of the rrice of
sole leather very soon, on account of
the invention of a New England
genius. Sole leather grows on beasts
in very limited quantities, and it is
hard 20 get enough of it. The invention
is to use leather scraps of all sorts for
the manufacture of good. serviceable
sole leather. The scraps are worth
less for all practical purposes, and
generally rot in the streets and alleys.
But machine has been devised that
tears theDh into shreds and makes
them into pulp, which is run out under
great pressure in continuous sheets
Of good sole leather. A fall in the
price of sole leather is predicted as
the result of this discovery O.; way
to use the scraps.

House was opened with a small num-
her of members in their seats. The
brief session held was devoted to the
question of e-apportionment, and all
measures looking to the decrease Of the
South's representation in Congress
were defeated. After lot Of discus
sion the House adjourned.
Nineteenth Day.-The House had
another spirited struggle over the Ohm
stead resolution to investigate the
abridgenent of the suffrage in certain
Southern States. with view to re-
apportionment upon the sotual basis
Of suffrage. 1t was finally referred to
the census committee, where the op-
position desired it to go originally.

not in sympathy with the resolution
and gave their support to the reference
on condition that that would be the
final outcome.

son was, again detained at his home by

speaker His argument was in favor

vides for house OF 3S6 members. Mr..

bill could properly be entitled "An act
to cripple the State Of Maine in her
representation in the house and in the
electoral college"

Hopkins assault upon the State Of
Maine. That statement drew from Mr..
Hopkins an indignant denial, which
led to sharp exchange between the
two members.
The entire proceedings consisted Of
a spirited colloquy between these two
members. at the close Of which the
house adjourned

MAY HELP RUSSIA.
America May Back Her Demands for
Concessions.
PEKIN CORRESPONDENTS REPORT,
A London Paper Informed That The
Russian Demands for Concessions
Will Have American Support.

London. By Cable.-The Pekin cor
respondent Of the Daily Mail, wiring
January 1, says:
Russia, by conciliation, is trying to
secure special advantages and there is
a strong belief that she will receive
American support 1t is hinted that
Russia inspired unfounded charges Of
barbarity against the German troops,
the motive being to SOW dissension be-
tween Great Britain and Germany"
In, a dispatch to The Times from Pc
kin, dated December 81, DR.. Morrison
gives the text Of the Russo-Chinese
agreement for the Russian protection
of the Manchurian province OF Fen
Ting, Russia, he says the civil govern
ment on the following conditions:
First. The Tartar General Tseng un-
dertakes to protect and pacify the
province and to assist in the constrlc-
ton Of the railroad.
Second. He must kindly treat, feed
and lodge Russians, engaged In the
military occupation and in the protec-
ton Of the railroad.
Third. He must disarn. and disband
the Chinese soldiery, delivering to the
Russians all munitions Of war In such
arsenals as the Russians have not yet
occupied.
Fourth. All forts and defences In the
province not occupied by the Russians
and all powder magazines not required
by them must be dismantied in the
presence of Russian officials.
Fifth. Niu Chwang and other places
low in Russian occupation shall be
restored to the Chinese civil admins
tration when Russia is satisfied that
the pacifcation of the province is COM
plete.
Sixth. The Chinese shall maintain
law and order by local police under a
Tartar general.
SeV6ulQ. n EluSSldu pOiiSiSoA hSoA
dent, with general powers Of control,
shall be stationed at Mukden, to whom
the Tartar general Tseng must give all
information respecting any important
measure.
Eighth. In the event Of local police
being insufficient for any emergency.
General Tseng will notify the Russian
resident and invite Russia to send re-
Inducements.
Ninth. The Russian text shall be
the standard.
The functions given the Russian res
ident, says DR.. Morrison, are similar to
those of the Russian resident in BoE-
bara, or those of the British residents
In the native States OF India. The
agreement will necessarily be followed
by similar agreements with references
to the other two provinces. Then Man.
churia will be de facto Russian pro
tectorate, Russian by pre-existing ar
rangement having already the right to
maintain all troops necessary for the
protection of the railroads.
