Gen, Julian Carr in a Legal War.
(special to News and observer.


Durham, N. c., May 15-Colonel Julian
S, Carr, of this city, and Colonel Robert
L. Abernethy, of CASTOR county, erst
while friends, have gone to war with each
Bther and they now have suits and
counter suits against the other in which
Col Carr is the plaintiff and Col Aber-
nethy the defendant, and third suit IS
pending in CASTOR county in which the
reverse is true-Col. Abernethy is the
plaintiff and Col Carr the defendant.
The trouble began when Col. Aberne-
thy was relieved of the management OF
Occoneechee farm, which is owned by
Mamie G. Carr wife of Colonel Carr, and
held in trust by Major Leo D. Heartt. Mr..
Abernethy claims that he is due something
like 81 200 for salary and has brought suit
in CASTOR AS a counter claim his former
employer has brought suit-or rather two
suits-in the sum of $1S,500.

Chicago, May 15-Another church was
wrecked by dynamite tonight when q
bomb was exploded under the pulpit of
the African Methodist church at Evans
ton. The interior was demolished and the
front of the building blown out. Two
motives are ascribed for the demolition
of the building. The first is that certain
colored people were incensed by a sermon
preached last week by the pastor, Rev.
l. NJ Daniels. who said this was the
white mans country and the colored man
might as well make up his mind to it
now and get along the best he could. The
other is that the members were incensed
at the position taken by the pastor and
a guest from Chicago who had spoken
against policy

st. Louis, Mo-, May 15-Unable to bear
the strain of mental torture which he
says he has suffered since the grand Jury
investigation into legislative boodling was
instituted, former State Senator Fred L.
Busche went before Circuit Attorney Fob,
this afternoon and made a complete and
far-reaching confession Of his connection
with corrupt deals extending over a per-
iod of eight years Busche's declara-
tions involve several men of prominence,
and he names those who have been con-
spicuous at the State Capitol as distrib-
utors of Doodle.
Later Busche was taken before the
grand jury, where he remained an hour.
When he emerged from the jury room
tears were streaming down his cheeks.
With his face buried in his handkerchief
he hurried away.
II had to do these things, said Busche
in reciting his story to the Circuit Attor-
ney. "There were circumstances that
made fellow take money or else get
the worst of it."
Busche then told of his connection with
legislation four years ago. He prefaced
his remarks by saying that all sorts of
money was used at that time of influence
leg1SlaIiOn
Money" he said, was offered On pref
ty nearly everything of Importance The
steam and street railway interests were
always very active and their representa-
tives paid up
Because of the statute of limitations,
which prevents prosecution three years
after the crime is committed. none of the
men against whom Busche has testified can
be indicted.

DESTROYED,

The cottage house. two barns and a
smaller building on the premises OF
Charles Bowden on Hampden Meadows
Neck. harrington. were completely de-
stroyed by nre yesterday afternoon. The
family was absent when the fire started.
The people living near saw tie flames
bursting out through the porch OF the
cottage. and gave an alarm. which
brought quite a gathering 10 tho scene.
AT once the work OF carrying out the
furniture from the cottage began. The
doors of the house were burst open and
everything I'm the way OF furniture that
could be secured was carried out upon
the lawn.
There is no apparatus for lighting fire
in Darlington. so the only thing that
could be done was 10 save n portion OF
the furniture from the flames and form a
bucket brigade TO safeguard other build
inss near by from the flying sparks car
ried by "A stiff northwest wind. When
the owners returned the buildings on
their premises were a heap OF charred
ruins.
AS the blaze sprang through the roof
OF the cottage the sparks We're blown
toward the two barns. and soon both were
on fire, burning down before the cottage
was consumed.
The burned property has an estimated
value OF $500. and Is partly covered by
insurance through the agency OF Joseph
Martin of Warren.
