When his gondola went through the canals
the people rushed on the bridges and along
the sides of the canals, kneeling and
saluting. the women exclaiming "God bless
the patriarch.
In a few cases in which he came to
Rome, on returning asked if he enjoyed
the gorgeousness of the fapal court and
the magnifcence of the functions, Sarto
answered. when l am there, | feel like
a fish out of water"
He has very modest tastes, having re-
tanned almost the same habits as when he
was a mere curate at Sa!pazo He was
severe but was just with his clergy. There
is nothing he dislikes so much as publicity,
detesting the praise and compliments OF
courtiers. Frankness is another of his
personal qualities, although he is some
what timid.
The relations of Sarto with the house
or Savoy are well Illustrated by what
occurred two months ago, when the King
of Italy went to Venice to open the in
ternational art exhibition. King Victor
Emmanuel gave orders that the patriarch
be given precedence over all local authori-
ties, but Sarto having arrived while the
King was speaking to the prefect, who is
the highest government official in the
province he refused to be announced and
said he would not disturb His Majesty. He
remained in an ante-chamber favorably
conversing with the generals and admirals
gathered there. When the King learned
of his presence he came to receive him on
the Threshold of the chamber and kept
him in conversation, accompanying him
of+ i,,o onndnlo IxhIlp q III tho SOI-
diers and guards rendered Sarto military
donors. Naturally this does not mean that
Sarto. once Pope, will fundamentally
change the policy that the church has
adopted towards the Italian state, but
certainly his personal feeling VIII be Ia
vorable to moderation.
Advices from Riese, the birthplace OF
Plus X and village of 4,Oo0 inhabitants,
state that the Pope's mother, now dead,
when living there occupied small peas
ants house, having in her humility always
refused to live with her son Giuseppe, as
even his modest establishment was con-
sidered by her to be too luxurious IN COM
parison with what she was accustomed to.
The elder brother of the Pope, AngG~o,
lives in the village Of Dellegrazie, province
of Mantua, being postman Of the district,
and receiving eighty dollars year for his
duties.
He adds to his income by keeping shop
in which he sells tobacco and pork. His
two daughters are the bellies of the VII
lage. being known for miles around as
the handsome sisters"
When Plus X was Bishop OF Mantua
his brother Angelo used often to go there
for reasons connected with his postal ser
vice. The other clerks would ask him
jokingiy why his brother did not find
;nim a better IiDsiton. Angelo, with
sturdy independence, answered that ne
preferred only to be what he could make
himself STILL following Papal precedents,
the tobacconist and postman of Dellegrazle
should become royal count.

I Life of Sarto, Idol of the Venetians.
(By the Associated Press.)

Rome, August 4.-Pius X was only 23
VIXEN he was consecrated priest at Cas-
telfranco, the birthplace of the great mas
ter, Giorgione, acting afterwards for nine
years as coadjutor to the parish priest of
Tombolo, province of Padua, a small vii
lage of 1850 people, who were the first
to appreciate his virtues. His kindness
was untiring. He sought to fill their
wants and never a murmur was heard
when lie was called in the middle of
winter night to a deathbcd which proved
to be nothing of the kind. He gave
freely of his very small means. until he
often went without meals himself but he
kept many poor family from starva-
ton.
In 1867 he was appointed parish priest
at Salzano which was considered an i'm
pcrtant promotion, being a village of g.
341 souls. Still, he was exceedingly sorry
to leave Tombolo, having become attached
to the people. The peasants, when he left
made most enthusiastic demonstration
crying, Viva, don Giuseppe" while many
women whose children he had nursed, !,
Nept. He distinguished himself so much
at SalZano that he was only kept there
two years, which is remarkable in the ca
reer OF an Italian parish priest. In 1875
he was elected chancellor of the bishopric
of Treviso, then spiritual director of that
seminary, judge of the ecclesiastical tri-
bunal and finally vicar general.
Pope Leo, who had highly appreciated
his cleverness, piety and modesty, ap-
pointed him in November. 1884, at the age
of 49 years, Bishop of Mautua, where he
remained nine years, until 1893, when he
was made cardinal and appointed Pa
triarch of Venice. He there distinguished
himself as a thorough reIormer. suppress
ing all abuses, restoring the dinity of the
clergy and the earnestness of religion. To
him is due the revival of a Gregorian
chant in the beautiful churches over
looking the lagoons and to him is due
the strict return of liturgie rules
Sarto became the idol of the Venetians.

Albemarle, N. c.. August 4.-On last
Saturday evening about dark two white
prisoners, Bob Scott and Sid Sulp, es-
capped from the county jail. The jailer
had been in the habit OF turning them

mere lad of twelve, for larceny. Sheriff
Smith recaptured the Culp boy today,
near New London, in this county, but has
rot been able to apprehend Scott. He is
an old offender of desperate character and
lives IN Union county. They escaped by
scratching out the mortar between the
brick and climbing down rope made of
blankets.

tors TO be Paid.
Especial to News and Observer)

New Bern, N. c. August 4.-On account
of a shortage in the accounts of T. w.
Wewey, cashier of the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank of this city, the bank has
been compelled to go into liquidation.
The amount of shortage is large, but
the exact amount has not yet been ascer-
tanned. Theer will be no trouble about
paying all depositors an dcreditors i'll full.
Mr.. Dewey, the cashier, left this city
last Saturday night, stating that he would
return either Monday night or Tuesday
morning. He has not returned and it is
not known where he is.
Mr.. J. o. Ellington, the State bank ex-
amner is here to look after the interest
of all parties interested.
The bank offers a reward of $500 for the
apprehension and return to this city of
7. w. Dewey, the cashier.
The above telegram gave the first sug
gestion received here that the bank was
not in the best shape. 1t comes like
clap of thunder from clear sky. Mr..
Dewey Is widely known, numbers his
friends by the hundreds, and has enjoyed
the absolute confidence of all who know
him. He was looked upon In New Bern
and in the State as one of the hOnestest,
clearest headed and capable bankers in
the State. He was trusted with guardian
accounts confidential matters, and nobody
ever doubted his sincerity and perfect
honesty. He was the moving spirit in the
CT ganization of the State Bankers Associa-
tion and is held in the highest esteem
by his fellow bankers.
His friends in Raleigh last night could
not believe the report. One gentleman
said late last night that he had an inti-
nation last week that Mr.. Dewey had lost
heavily IN some speculation, but did not
suppose from what he heard then that
his losses were enough TO cmbarrass MIN.
1t is feared that they must have been very
large.
Mr.. Dewey comes of a family that has
long been associated with North Carolina
banking. He is related to the late Mr..
Charles Dewey, who was one of the most
eminent bankers in the South. He was
a native of New Bern, but was cashier
of the Bank of North Carolina at Raj
eIgh and afterwards president of the Raj
elgh National Bank. He was continuously
a bank officer over sixty years.
Regret at the defalcation of Mr.. Dewey
will be deep and genuine, and all his
friends will hope that there is some cruel
mistake Among other positions of trust
Mr.. Dewey is a director in the Atlantic
and North Carolina Railroad.

BIG AND BLOODY ROW
Wild Mix Up With All Sorts
of Weapons.
Attempt to Arrest the Men---One Proves More
Than Match in Wits for the
Guards.
Especial to News and observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
. Greensboro, N c., Aug. 4.-Sheriff Jor-
dan was notified at o'clock last night
for the first time of a big row which had
occurred late Saturday afternoon at
Stokesdale, in which seven white men
were engaged with various and sundry
deadly weapons. He sent Deputy David
Scott out post haste to arrest the parties
The deputy has just returned at II
o'clock and reports hard nights work.
In company with local officers he travelled
all night visiting different houses in search
of the instigators of the affray-S. X, and
Mack Brookbanks and a man named
Peak. Peak was arrested and gave bond;
Mack Brookbanks was not found, but S.
X. Brookbanks was found lying in bed
with his head pretty badly broken and
bandaged and placed in charge of three
men to guard him, while the deputy was
out looking for others. The deputy lett
rope with the guards, telling them that
if Brookbanks tried to escape to tie him
to the bed, but not to tie him if he be-
haved all right About daybreak the
deputy returned and found Brookbanks
had escaped The three guards said that
he made an excuse to leave the room, that
the smaller one accompanied him; that
once outside he struck a trot, that the
guard tried to hold him, but the wounded
sick man fought like trooper and es-
capped Warrants will now be issued
against the three guards for the escape.
The fight, it seems, between the two
Brookbanks and Peak with Winfrey was
caused by an alleged insult offered by
Winfrey to a lady. Winfrey, it seems
had been notified of the intended assault
and had armed himself. He retreated from
his assistants with his pistol drawn, but
not using it, Buford Jones, it is said
got between the Brookbanks and Winfrey
in an effort to prevent fight, or to assist
the latter, when he was assaulted by all
three. He was thrown into a wagon and
was being pretty badly beaten with brass
knucks when he managed to get up, got
hold of a wagon standard and nearly killed
one of his assaiants. S. K. Brookbanlxs,
the man who escaped from his guards this
morning. In the meantime Peak was us
ing brass knucks on another man named
Jones and Winfrey was piling it on to him
with 2 stick.
Jones, Peak and Winfrey have been
arrested, but the Brookbanks boys are
still at large. The fight is really said to
have become general on account of an old
feud between Jones and the Brook
banks boys.
