prisoner pleaded not guilty and the case

Some weeks ago Teachey broke jail IN

He was brought to this city and placed
in Jail until yesterday afternoon when

when he shot Rivenbark, and the testi-

to the effect that it was Teachey who
killed him. The homicide occurred at
night and the defence will undertake to
prove that it was a negro who imperson-

they will show that negro had a motive
for doing it. The shooting occurred at

the observation fleet, if the ships which
went down to the ocean race course to-
day could be digniied by such title.
Outside OF the revenue cutters, which
patrolled the course, it consisted OF half
a dozen side wheelers with almost empty
decks, a few sea going tugs and score
of steam yachts.
The westerly wind and rain had served
to knock down the sea somewhat, al
though it was rough enough during the
first two hours of the race to make the
excursion boats tumble about good
deal and the yachts to plunge and stag
ger on their way to the outer mark
But as the day wore on the wind hauled
to the north and fell to mere zephyr,
hardly strong enough to round out the
enormous canvasses of the sloops, and the
sea subsided to smooth surface.
The race was sprtless from the begin
ming 1t was laid 15 miles to windward
up the Long Island shore and return. It's
saving feature was the start in which
Captain Wringe, by pretty piece of
manoeuvering neatly returned the tables
on the Yankee skipper and captured the
windward berth. Even SO, the yachts
crossed the line abreast like a harnessed
team of horses.
But within fifteen minutes the defend
er was showing her heels to the challeng-
er and when the float at the outer mark
was reached she rounded it twenty min
utes and twenty three seconds ahead of
her rival In the five times the boats
have met this was by far the worst beat
ing Shamrock III has had in windward
work. The only interest which remained
after that was as to whether Reliance
would be able to reach the finish line in
time to score the race.
For the first time in the SERIES Captain
Wringe, of Shamrock III, cleverly out
generated the redoubtable Captain Barr
in the preliminary jockeying. Until five
minutes before the start Captain Barr
held the windward berth. Then both ran
away from the line, the Shamrock lead

But They Will Proceed as
Ordered to Beirut.
LATER MAY GOELSEWHERE
This, However, Depends Upon How The Situa-
ton Appears at That Port---Secreiary Hay
and the Turkish Minister Have
Conference.
a Conference
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. 31.-Chel1ib Bey, the
Turkish minister, had long interview
today with Secretary Hay. He refused
to discuss the interview, stating that he
had nothing to communicate further than
what appeared in the Associated Press
dispatches yesterday morning After the
interview Secretary Hay visited the Navy
Department
Cheklb Bey assured Secretary Hay
that the Turkish government had done
nothing wrong and will use every endeav-
or to protect American citizens residing
IN Turkey. He also discussed the con-
ditions of the insurrection in Turkey and
said that the Turkish government was
not responsible for any of the disasters
that had occurred.
Secretary Hays call upon Acting Sec
retary Darling was for the purpose of as
certaining the whereabouts of the Euro
pean squadron and also what their orders
are. There is no intention of changing
any orders at present, especially as the
ships cannot be reached until they ar
rive at Beirut. No messages of import
ance have been received from Minister
Leishman today.
Late dispatches from Minister Leish-
man give in detail the conditions in Tur-
key and do not differ materially in tone
from those previously sent Minister
LeIshman does not, as reported in some
quarters, request the withdrawal of the
fleet from the Turkish waters.
While reports by way OF London state
that no attempt was made upon the life
OF Vice Consul Magelssen, official advices
so far received show that such an at
tempt was made. The present status was
known before the ships left Genoa, and
this government did not decide to change
the orders. 1t is now stated, however,
that should there be a calm and peace
full condition at Beirut when the ships
arrive there the matter OF sending them
to another port will be considered and
possibly adopted. The Turkish minister
made no request upon Secretary Hay at
the interview today regarding the move
ment of United States war vessels, and
nothing in this matter was promised by
the State Department.
In one of the dispatches from Minis
ter Leishman the question of the trial
of the teacher IN one of the missions
at Harpoot was discussed and the minis
ter informed the department that he can
see nothing irregular in the trial. but at
the request of the missionaries he is see
ing to it that no injustice is done. The
man was arrested charged with sedtion.

Lexington, n. c., Aug. 31.-Two negro
men coming in last evening were, held
up and searched by a negro whom they
took to be Will Harris, the noted outlaw.
These negroes declare that this fellow
is none other than the celebrated Will
Harris. He was heavily armed with pis-
tolls and Winchester. The negroes are
very much excited and many of them
will not go out to Arnold where they
have been working in the tobacco factory.
Judge Allen gave Simmons, the negro
who murdered his friend Smith, fifteen
years in the penitentiary Simmons sub
mitted to manslaughter and got off
easier than he would had the case gone

few days ago and plead guilty to the
charge of burglarizing the store of Pea
cock and Adderton of this place. This
fellow is a slick rascal. He may be call
ed upon to answer a charge for counter
feiting after he gets through with what
Judge Allen will give him.
The wolf chase last Saturday night
was rather disappointing, at least the
owners of the hounds were disappointed.
The wolf licked the entire pack. Some
four or five years ago Mr.. Michael
Koonts secured a pair OF wolves and
becoming tired of them sold the male
wolf to certain owners OF so-called fine
pack of fox hounds. The wolf played
along a little distance ahead of the dogs
for two or three hours and then took a
stand and let the entire pack come on.
The hounds came out some with one ear
off, some with their hides split into
strings, some minus leg and some left
dead on the spot. The owners of the dogs
had to beat the wolf to death with rocks
and clubs.

CRv the Associated Press.l

Richmond, Va, Aug. 31.-Herbert b.
Bates, a son of city engineer, Frank T.
Bates, this morning shot and killed Miss
Rena Gentry, at her home, 1920 East
Broad street, and then killed himself with
the same weapon which he used in killing
Miss Gentry.
That the shooting was the act of man
who had suddenly lost his reason no one
who knew the young man doubts. The
shooting took place in the front parlor
of Mrs. Gentrys home, no one being In
the room save the two young people.
Mr., Bates and Miss Gentry had been
regarded as lovers since they were small
children, the young man being madly in
fatuated with the young lady.
1t is. not believed that she returned his
love- though she had high regard for him
as friend, He accompanied Miss Gentry
to church last night, returning home with
her and a lady friend of hers, and ap-
peared in the best of humor, remaining
at the home of Miss Gentry for a short
while, and then going to his own home.
two squares further east in Broad street.
Mr.. Bates was in his oath year. His
father and mother are away from the city.
He arose this morning about o'clock and
left the house. He was little detected.
but said as he went out of the front door
to member of the family:
"Ill see you later"
Instead of going to the place at which
he took his meals, he boarded a car and
went down town. and it is supposed that
he procured the pistol and then went
back to the home of Miss Gentry. He ap.
peared there about o'clock, and was ad-
mitted to the house. Miss Gentry met
him at the door, and they entered the par
lor. He had been there about fifteen min
utes when the members OF the family
were startled by two pistol shots in rapid
succession. They at once rushed to the
parlor door, which was open. They found
the room filled with smoke and the smell
of powder filling the house. On the floor
possibly three feet apart, lay the two
bodies. Miss Gentry was dead when seen,
the shot having been instantly fatal. Mr..
Bates was in the throes of death when
the room was entered. He lived possibly
three minutes after infiicting the wound
on himself. &
Miss Gentry was in her 22nd year and
was one of the best known and most low
able young women in the city. She was
of medium build with wealth of dark
hair, a fine complexion and dark eyes.
She was member of Union Station Meth
odist Church and an earnest church
worker. She was of gentle disposition and
her parents almost worshipped her.
Mr.. Bates had never known the taste
of liquor or tobacco and never used a
profane word.
Young Bates was note clerk at the First
National Bank and an examination of his
books this morning showed his accounts
to be correct to cent, never having been
found incorrect since his service with the
bank. He was a model clerk in every

CATHOLICS OF CHARLOTTE
MAY KEEP CHILDREN HOME
The Order to Compel the Reading of the Bible in the
Public Schools and it's
Results.
Especial to News and Observer

Charlotte, n. c., Aug. 31.-As the re-

sioners of this city compelling the daily
reading of the Bible in the graded schools
passed at the last regular meeting of the
beard, it is probable that not single
child of Catholic parents will attend the
