The Exhibit at Charleston.

A letter from Charleston to
the Times Democrat says: 'Lou-

DlSINFECTIOM FEES
TO BE REDUCED
Action Taken by the Board of
Health at its Recent
Meeting.

New Orleans, La, Feb. 2O.-
The Louisiana State Board of
Health last night passed resolu-
tions ordering a 20 per cent re-
duction in disinfection fees at
the Mississippi river quarantine
station. This action was taken
in response to a petition from
the New Orleans commercial ex.
change praying for reduction,
alleging that shipping would be
greatly increased under lighter
charges. The old rate on steam
ships was $3.50. 1t was reduced
to $105. Schooner fees were re-
duced from $50 to S65; banks
from $50 to 500.
The board of trade has estab-
lished a modern electric light
plant at quarantine station, so
that fruit vessels can be inspec-
ted at night.
Ex-Governor Heard was petitioned
to issue his quarantine procla-
nation against Central American
ports for April I, 1902.

THE PRESIDENT
GIVES A DECISION.
A Synopsis of His Rulings In
the Great Schley
Case.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-The fol-
lowing is synopsis of the presi-
dents ruling IN the Schley case !:
/ am satisfied that on the whole
the court did substantial justice.
If Admiral Schley's actions
we're censurable, he should not
have been left AS second in COM
mand underI Admiral Sampson.
His offences were, in effect, con-
doned when he was not called to
account for them.
The point raised in the appeal
is between Admiral Sampson and
Admiral Schley as to which was
in command and as to which was
entitled to the credit. 4 \
What have to decide, therefore.
is whether or'not President Nc
Kinley did injustice in the matter.
Il 1t seems to me that the
recommendations of President
Mckinley were eminently proper,
\ 1t was just to Admlra
Sampson that he should receive
greater advance innumbers thar
Admiral Schley-there was no
thing in the battle that warranted
any unusual reward for either.
1t was captains fight.
1t is evident that Wainwright
was entitled to receive more
thanI any other Of the command
ers.
There Is no excuse whatever
from either side for any further
agitation of this unhappy contro
verSy.

THE NELLIE CROPsEY MYSTERY.

The death of Miss Nell Cropsey of
Elizabeth City seems quite mysteri.
GUS. After sudden disappearance
of five weeks this unfortunate young
lady was found, on last Friday, in
the river almost opposite her father q
home, and where diligent search had
been repeatedly made. The doctors
held an autopsy and reported that
''there were no external marks of
violence on body, head or face, but
the ooroner's jury rendered a YER
dict that she ''c4me to her death by
being stricken a blow on the left
temple and being drowned. in the
Pasquotank river" The jury recon-
mended that Wilcox, who had been
arrested as her supposed murderer,
be held in custody to await further
investigation. Thus far there is not
sufficient evidence against Wilcox or
anybody else. 1t is a very greet
mystery, which we hope may soon
be solved.-Chatham Record
The mystery of the disappearance
of Nellie CropseY, of Elizabeth City,
is at last solved, and the worst fears
are realized in the finding of her
dead body in the river almost ex
actly opposite her home. The
tragedy, for such it was even before
yesterdays sad disclosure, had
come so be one of interest far beyond
the confines of the State. The YER
dict of the coroner's jury will tend
TO keep the case before the public
for long time yet as one of absorb
ing interest, for it holds to the
opinion that the unfortunate girl
died as a result of a blow on the
temple and drowning in the Pasquo-
tank river. This seriously duplicates
the lover of the girl, James Wilcox,
with whom she was having a lovers
quarrel when last heard of alive.
The verdict exonerates Nellie Crop
sey from both the suspicious of un-
maidenly conduct and of suicide.
The promptness of the sheriff of
Pasquotank county and of Governor
Aycock in taking steps to protect
Wilcox are highly commendable -
