His Life Tomorrow.
Solicitor Jones Decides to Modify the lrd;ct-
ment. A Postum Destroyed One

Henry Perry Will not stand trial for
his life on the charge Of rape.
Solicitor Jones decided yesterday that
it would be almost impossible to convict

agIced that the bill OF Indictment shall

here at the trial today, Will not be
needed, and notice has been sent to them
not to come. The regular jury for the
second week Will pass upon this case.
A big hole was made last week in the
docket, which nov number 154 cases.
There are still a number of cases to try,
which Will prolong the court we'll into the
resent week. The grand jury has not
yet completed it's work.
The most interesting development yes
terday in court circles was the arrest of
Mack Fowler for the theft of a possum
from jim Richardson. Fowler was the
witness relied upon by the State in the
case against Phil Hodge, charged with
carrying a concealed Weapon The case
was to have been tried yesterday, but
Fow1er's theft of the pOssum Friday
night landed him in Jail and thus the
State'soacase was destroyed. Solicitor
Jones let Hodge go without trial.
Marcellus Upperman, who was charg-
ed With cruelty to a horse purchased
from Britton Pearce was acquitted. h
case was, stubbornly fought.
Cora Wilder was deprived of liberty
for twelve months for larceny and re
ceiVing.

ed in: court and plead not guilty. He

GREATLY EXAGGERATED.
Two of Wilson's Citizens Says Things Are
Moving Along Well There.

Captain w. ]. Boykin and Mr.. Jesse r.
Williams, two of Wilson'S prominent
citizens arrived in the city yesterday
afternoon.
Being from Wilson, they were Of
course, oasked about the smallpox situa-
ton and the general state of affairs in
Wilson:
Captain Boykin laughed good materially
Us he said THE truth is, we hear more
about smallpox outside of Wilson than
we do at home. One man told me today
on the train that he understood that VIC
he'd 1900 cases, when the truth is that
is to 20 mild cases in Wilson will cover
it. TIE great majority OF these are
among the negroes, and almost without
exception the cases are in the suburbs"
Being told OF the report i'll a paper
that Wilson was decorated with yellow
flags, as if one had struck Chinatown
or q circus parade" Nh. Williams said.
That's a wild statement. There may
be eight or ten flags about the city, but
IN a drive all over it yesterday morning
| do rot remember to lave seen but two.
The firth is that We are going on with
business Just as usual, and there is no
unusual stir over the matter. We lear
more of it when We leave Wilson thar
We do "a home
Both gentlemen speak of tho cases as
being smallpox, but Of a very mild form.
They say that where deaths occurred
these were from other complications
which enSued, and that every attention
IS being given the cases now in the su-
bu1bs.

PRISON CHANCfSBAS
1870 ConViCts Leave Monday
For Mitchell,
Half Of the State Prison Force Will be at Work
on Ohio River ard Charleston
Railroad.

Practically one half Of the convicts
in the penitentiary will be in Mitchell
county neXt week.
superintendent Mann stated yesterday
that he would send 1870 convicts next
Monday to Mitchell county to join the
prison force at work there on the Ohio
River and Charleston Railroad. This
Will make a total of 400 c~onvicts at work
on this road. 1t is the largest numbe
hat the prison has let out under CON
tract since the building OF the Western
North Carolina road.
Two hundred and fifty ~convicts will re-
main on the Halifax farms to prepare
for next years crops. This will leave
more than 100 here. including those in
the hospital and the more desperate char
acters.
The Asheville Gazette says of the con-
struction of the Ohio River and Char
lesion Railroad:
A large party of negroes left this af-
ternoon for Mitchell county to work on
the construction of the Ohio River and
Charleston Railway.
A number of similar parties recently
left the city to engage in work on the
O. r. and c., and others will doubtless
follow.
There are now about 500 men employ
ed in working on this railroad, includ-
eg 800 convicts, where they have been
fer several months, in the heart Of the
Blue Ridge mountains. Several nun
bred additional ccnvicts will be sent to
the scene of the work within the next
few weeks.
There is much speculation as to the
objective point Of this road. 1t has been
persistently rulnored that Asheville
stood about as good show for being the
North Carolina terminal point as any
other Western North Carolina town. The
projectors are keeping their plans Sc
cTet.
It has been stated that the road would
tc built to Marion. forming connection
there with the Seaboard Air Line via
authorization. There IS general belief
that the SeaboarG Air Line is Interested
in the new road.

The Rev. J. T. Phillips, who as a mem
Der of the Arlington Investigation Tri-
bunal, attained notoriety second only TO
Hoola Boom Campbell, has again become
prominent in the public eye
The latest performance does not begin
to compare with his retrogade move
ment on a truck in the Yarborough
House lobby, when his booze tank was
loaded to the muzzlc. But it is a close
second and the Mount Olive Advertiser
tells it in this fashion:
yesterday afternoon, Rev. J. T. Phil-
lips, of F'armville, was arrested for
threatening to shoot a citizen of this
place and was bound over to court in the
sum Of $500.
phillips left Wilson last Tuesday en-
route for Mounts Olive with the inten-
ton Of marrying a young lady Of this
section. 1ic took ~ a load of liquor
and became so exhilarated that he fail
ed to get off the train at Mount Olive
anG passed through to Calypso. When
he finally reached Mount Olive he was
somewhat the worse for wear, and az
he had neglected TO secure a license
and the young lady had changed her
mind, the ceremony did not take place.
'Fhillips left the place on Wednesday,
but returned Thursday evening some
what tangled i'll the legs but determined
TO marry the girl in spite Of the fathers
opposition.
Yesterday morning he gave a contin-
uous performance, representing the evils
or lntemperanCe, varied with CusS words
and threats of shooting various individ-
uals, the end of which was told in our
first paragraph

OF A. ". Traps
One Of RaIeigh's Oldest Citi-
zens Passes Away.
A Native of Bohemia, He Came to Raleigh EARLY
in Life, and Was Successful
in Business. 80

In the death Of Mr.. Anton ". Traps
the city loses one of it's Oldest and most
respected citizens, one whose HE has
been such as to make him a we'll known
figure not alone to the citizens but to
many who were frequent visitors to Raj
cigh.
His death occurred during the latter
part Of Friday night, and two Of his sons
were with him in his last moments. He
had been ailing. and they were sitting
Up with him. Old age, for he was border
ing on Is, and troubles from asthma,
caused his death.
Mr.. Traps was a native Of Bohemia,
having been born in Teplitz, and coming
to Raleigh about 1859 or 1860. During the
Civil War he was in charge OF a manu-
featuring plant making saddle trees for
the Confederate army. and continued at
this till the close of the war.
Shortly after this he began a furniture
business on Fayetteville street where the
new building of the Raleigh Trust Com
pany is now being erected. He continued
this for some time and then engaged in
the retail grocery business in a building
Of his own. which he continued up to a
few years ago.
Since that time he has not engaged in
DuSliltSo DeCduSb VI d6t anu lHlpdllSu
health, but his figure has been a familiar
one about the city, and it was
a rere pleasure to talk with
him and listen to some of his quaint
and humorous u~tterances, filled with the
philosophy Of life. A group of friends
about Mr.. Traps was the usual thing.
Mr.. Traps wife was Miss S~tonebank,
sister Of Mr. c. H Stonebank. and by this
marriage four sons survive, Mrs. Frars
having died several years ago. Mr.. Frank
Traps, engaged in the retail grocery bus
mess here, and DIR. George a. Traps, pro-
fessor at the A. and NJ. College, We're
with their father when he died. Mr.. \.
W. Traps, Jr., a locomotive engineer, now
Of Savannah, Ga, and Mr.. Joseph Traps,
machinist, now of Florence, S. c., have
arrived TO attend the funeral of their
father. which will take place from the
Church of the Coed Shepherd this after
noon 1T half past three O'Clock.
Mr.. Traps was a man Of great indus
Try and uncompromising honesty. He was
q loyal and staunch friend. The value
OF his home influence can be best seen
in the family which has grown UP about
him. and who arc living tributes to his
worth. BY his industry he had accumu-
lated considerable property, this afford
ing him comfort in his latter years and
the means to give his son excellent edu-
oational opportunities. He Will be re
membercd as one OF R~alcigh's best citi-
.ens.
He was a jealous Odd Fellow, being q
member Of Manteo Lodge in which he has
held many offices. He holds the warm
friendship of his brethren in the order
and these Will attend his funeral this
afternoon in a body.
