Charlotte, N. c., Aug. IA sensation
was created here today when evidence
developed to show that a fatality, pre-
sumed to be a distressing accident, is a
double crime, arson and murder. Two
weeks ago the home of VIM. Dulin, a
prominent farmer of Crab Orchard town
ship, was destroyed by fire and Dulin
himself perished in the flames. The fire
was attributed to an accident.
Today three negroes, Lester Miller,
Win Hilton and Will Simpson, We're ar
rested and jailed on suspicion of being
implicated in the horrible crime, if crime
it was. Threats of lynching were freely
INDUCED in in the county and the ne
groes were brought here and locked up.

is strong evidence against one of the
trio.

Greensboro, N. c., August 19.-At 8: 80
o'clock this morning the court house was
discovered on fire, and SO dense was the
smoke in the court room it was with
great difficulty that the location of the
smouldering blaze was found. BY the
time the fire company arrived it had been
located in the judges private room at
the north end of the building in the par
tition between it and the passage. 1t
burned stubhorniy, but was extinguish-
ed with loss of not more than $3.50, the
partition being demolished and the floor
cut up. The new burglar proof fire

low may be burglar proof, but it is not
damp proof any more, for it is three feel

leaked through from the flooded floor
above. The origin of the fire is I'M
known.

bell he bolted for the Jail,

jury now in session without bail The
prisoner was not ready for trial, saying
he could prove an alibi by his sisters
and mother, but the justices told him he
could do that in court if the grand jury
found a true bill and proceeded with
the case. The little girl, six and a half
years old, identified him as the neighbor-
hood acquaintance, who came in the alb
sence of her parents from home one day
last week and hurt her, etc. The mother
testified to a little five year old son
running and telling her what had been
done and of hurrying to the child, eX-
animation, etc. The defendant said moth
ing; had no attorney, and in response to
opportunity given by the justices, said
that he had no question to ask the wit

Solicitor Brooks will draw bill of
indictment tonight and send it before the

dence of that little child can be admitted

Disastrous Fire at Ymir.

Ymir, B. c., Aug. ia disastrous fire
is raging about Ymir. Many square miles
of timber have been burned and num-
Der of mine buildings, wagon roads and
bridges have been destroyed.
From the cyanide works of the Ymir
Company to the Foghorn mine, distance
of five miles. every building has been
destroyed. The cyanide plant was saved
by the herculean efforts of employees who
dug holes in which they immersed them
selves in water up to to their necks while
they handled the hose in short shifts.
The buildings of the Wilcox and Black
Rock mines were obliterated. At the
former mine the men took refuge in the
tunnels in which the wind blew the
flames which ignted the timber. With
a meagre supply of water, handled in tin
cups, the men kept the fire from spread
ing until the danger was passed.

n . New England Factory Chickens
Are Mechasicaliy Matched, Fea
and Picked.

The old-fashioned Plymouth Rock
hen considered she was faithfully do
ing her duty il she laid about three
dozen eggs year, but the modern
machine-made hen Is afraid that her
head will 90 off III she does not keep
the record up to 200. In those old
fashioned times she enjoyed the
honor of motherhood and was con-
sdered of much greater Importance
than being an reproducing ma
chine. That was all changed with the
introduction Of the incubator system,
which not only cuts of several days
in the period Of Matching, but does
the business in generally more sat-
isfactory manner than did the mother
hen.
Besides this there is the necessity
Of system all around which leads TO
the ultimate production of the manu-
featured chicken.
In one of the largest poultry-pro-
ducing places of the east large
plant has recently been installed
which is probably the most perfect in
the world. The entire plant, in fact,
is but one vast machine, each floor OF
which is devoted TO the chicken-p pro-
acing business. On the top floor are
located the incubators in which the
unmatched eggs are placed on tray
and subjected to a heat of about 30
degrees. Beneath the tray. in which
are Matched about 1000 chickens a
1 day, are the brooders, and here In
temperature Of about 80 degrees the
/ chicks remain for II days. After be-
ing born one day feeding commences,
the fare being millet, ground oats and
canary seed. For the first week they
are fed five times a day, the amount
of foot being gradually increased, al
though given less often, their diet be-
ing gradually changed to include the
coarser grains. BY the rapid forcing
method of feeding adopted it takes
only a week or two to bring the
chicken to a weight of two pounds.
The chicken is then taken TO the
floor below. where very limited
space is allowed for the running
around and where a number OF cram
ming machines are located. Inc
crowded pens on this floor are the
first and last glimpse the modern
chicken catches of the world into
which IL is born. for here il begins te
fatten rapidly, as the examining ma
chimes force an abnormal quantity o.
food down its throat. II takes iron
two to four weeks to bring th'
weight of these chickens up to abou
six pounds. at which time they arr
