Especial to The MeSSengerl

Raleigh, N. c., March 12.-Duncan
McIver, of Moore county, is here and

lynching Of Silas Martindale at Car
thage. He says
Some men lave been arrested on
evidence given by the jailer and by a
negro woman coo at the Jail. The

guilt. The mob which stormed the
Jail and hanged him is variously esti-

States, and Washington as well, should
come to a fuller realization of the ex-
act situation in Cuba That it is now
uation OF Americas own creating" He
says farther that tine submission of
proposals from Washington. on Feb
ruary 18th and 21st. is a distinct viola
ton of all previous assurances OF non
interference" A Cuban newspaper, La
Patrfa, as late as the 3rd of March,
said that with all factors in his favor
it would not have been possible for the
president to drag congress along to
support him in his attempt to thwart
the Joint resolution declaring Cuba
independently If General Woods reports
had been based on the real state of af-
fairs"
The Messenger recently copied opin-
ions from leading republican organs
condemnatory Of Mckinley n his
gang in the congress in their bad
treatment and treachery towards Cuba.
The Chicago Journal. a leading republi-
can organ, says of the vicious course
pursued so damaging to the good name
and faith of the American government:
Congress has served notice on the
world that no matter what may be the
sanction under which a promise is
made in behalf of the American people,
hat promise will be Kept DIT not kept,
just as interest dictates. when the time
for fulfillment comes. The nations of
the earth will now understand on what
terms they may accept OUR given word,
and that will be precisely as far as they
can force us to keep it, and no further"

In the celebrated Holden impeach-
ment trial the ablest lawyers in the
case were Ex-Governor Thomas Bragg
and Chief Justice w. H. n. Smith. Any
one who will lake the time to read care
fully the volume containing the trial
will probably agree with us that TIE
ablest speech for the prosecution was
by Governor Bragg "a truly great
advocate) and by Mr.. Smith for h de-
fencs. We believe that Mr.. Smiths
argument is the ablest of all. That is
the way it strikes an "unprofessional'
outsider. AS we wrote some time ago
of Governor Bragg. he is h ablest
lawyer we ever heard at the bar next
to Mr.. Badger. We heard most of the
foremost of the leading lawyers b.
etween 1915 and 1875.

THE ROCHESTER, FIRE.
Coroner In His Verdict Crittcises the
Asylum Trustees.

Rochester, Jan. 24.--Coroner Klein
dienst has given out his verdict IN the in
quest into the deaths OF the 81 persons
victims of the fire in the Rochester Or-
phan asylum on the morning of Jan. 8.
The coroner uses strong words and Sc
verely criticises the trustees of the asy'
lum, declaring that they We're Negligent.
and denounces Mayor Carnahan and the
members OF the board of estimate and
apportionment for their policy in not Civ
ing the fire marshal sufficient assistance
to permit of the proper inspection OF the
buildings of the city. Continuing the
verdict says:
II find that if the buildings had been
equipped with sufficient fire escapes Of u
proper kind, more especially the building
known as the Potter building, the lives OF
% children might have been saved. !
find that the building was not properly
guarded by male night Waterman.
Il find that the trustees and managers
of the asylum were negligent in not EN-
ploying such night watchman.'
The origin of the fire is not definitely
determined, but he believes that it was
due to the igniting Of leaking illuminating
gas
