INQUEST ENDS IN ROW.
Commission to Decide the Sanity OF
Rufus CantreIl, the Grave-RObber

Indianapolis, April 10.-An effort to
hold an insanity commission on Rufus
Cantrell. the negro. who is charged
with grave robbing, broke up in a row
today. Charges of bribery were openly
made by one of the attorneys repre-
senting Cantrell. 1t was also charged
that an effort was being made to rail
road Cantrell to the insane asylum,
so that he could not appear as a wit
ness against DR.. Alexander whose trial
is set for mex week.
When Squire Enrich declared the
court open and that the examination OF
witness would begin, Prosecutor Ruck-
elsbush protested against the proceed
ings. He said: Il have a right to see
that no man is railroaded to the insane
asylum, instead Of getting his just dues
for crimes committed against the state.
1 stand here on my rights and l demand
that this commission continue the in
quest, until after the trial Of DR.. Alex
ander."
After listening to arguments Of attor-
neys who claimed to represent Cantrell,
the commission granted a continuance
to May 4th.

tected they suffered but little. Those
barred to the elements suffered consid-
erably as a matter of course. The
writer rode all the way from G]oldsboro
to Wilmington yesterday and talked
with a number of growers at different
stations, and in almost every case it
was ~aScertained that the damage is far
below the first estimate.
The fields are ali as white with BIOS
SONS as ever, and picking, packing and
shipping has begun in earnest. Any
where from fifteen to twenty car loads
will go forward by today's express and
refrigerator trains and henceforth ac-
tivity will be lively in shipping ~circlese
as long as there is a berry in sight.
MI. H. T Bauman, the shipping
master, has gotten everything in readi-
ness for daily reports to him at Rocky
Mount from all the leading markets,
which he will distribute from that place
each morning until the busy seaso is
over in the shape of daily bulletins,
which will be posted in some conspicu-
ous place at all shipping points along
the various divisions of the Atlantic
Coast Line railways, and mailed on the
JAW AAJ Gil AA0 iNOShs NAO01iS
every morning at $3.50. This bulletin
will report the number of cars shipped
out of this territory the previous day,
their destination, and the condition and
prices the various markets at the same
time. Each city will be given credit
for the number Of cars shipped there
the day before, and the shippers down
here can read the bulletin C. morning
and be governor accordingly in avoid
ing markets.
Much contention has arisen in the
past regarding the condition in which
berries reached New York. Philadelphia
and other markets. In this connection
the committee took the bull by the
horns at the last meeting of the execu-
tive committee n appointed a repre-
sentative of the association for the
New York and Philadelphia markets
his year. Mr. Bauman was according
ly instructed to proceed at once to en-
ploy and instruct these gentlemen in
the discharge of their duties, which. as
a matter of fact, should inure to the
eneft of the receiver up there as a
we'll as the shipper down here.

potatoes, canteloupes and tomatoes
