Emperor Francis Joseph.

A Total of Four Vacant Cabinet Posi-.
tions and One Secretaryshiy Now
at the Disposal eff rlr. Balfour.

Vienna, Special.-Count Hedervary,
who placed his resignation as Hunga-
rian Premier in the hands Of Emperor
Francis Joseph, some time ago, had
AUDIENCES with the Emperor, which.
it is reported, have led to the solution
Of the Hungarian cabinet crisis, and
q ministry will be formed either by
Count julius Audrassy or NJ. Kolomna
S. Zell. Should this news be con-
firmed it will be due to the correct
and patriotic attitude of Francis Kos
suth and his party. Kossuth declared
resolutely against anything in the
shape of resolution and even for
bade any street demonstration on the
anniversary Of his fathers birthday.
1t is understood that the official COM
munication explaining away the unfa-
vorable construction placed in Hun
gary on the army order issued by the
Emperor, September II, will be is
sued in the form Of an imperial auto
graph rescript addressed to Count
Hedervary and this proof that the EN-
peror did not desire to ruffle Hun
garian susceptibilities will be en-
phasized by another imperial visit to
Buda-Pesth as an indication of his
continued confidence and good will.
London, Special.-Lord Balfour, OF
Burleigh, Secretary for Scotland. and
Arthur Ralph Douglass Elliott, Finan-
cial Secretary to the Treasury, have
resigned and their designations have

designations make a total Of four va
cant cabinet positions and one secre-
taryshsp at Mr.. Balfours disposition.

and Financial Secretary Elliot, both
strong free traders. 1t is understood
that the ministerial designations are
completed and apparently the Duke
of Devonshire has decided to remain
ii the cabinet. It is practically cer-
tain that Austen Chamberlain, Lord
Miner and Mr.. Brodrick will take the
Exchequer, Colonies and India port
folios. respectively, and the only sur.
prise in the new appointments Is like
ly to be the nomination Of strong
man to the War ONCE to determine
how far the recommendations Of the
South African war commission can
be carried out Home Secretary Ack-
ers-Douglass started for Balmoral and
he probably will be involved in the
reconstruction changes.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Young Man Shot to Death for the
Crime of Seduction.

Crime of Seduction.
Salisbury, Special.-A homicide with
peculiar tragic circumstances occurred
OF o'clock Thursday morning at Mt.
Ulla, station in Rowan county on
the Mooresville-W Winston Railroad,
about seven miles from Mooresville and
16 miles through the country from
Salisbury, Russell Sheriff., young
man of prominent family, being shot
and killed by Thomas ]. and Chalmers
l.. White, of Concord, in an alteration
growing out of the seduction by Sher-
rill of Miss Annie White, the orphan
niece Of the two slayers. All those in
volved in the affair are Of prominent
family and of high personal standing.
Immediately after the shooting the
White brothers set out for Salisbury,
driving at high speed, with the inten-
ton Of surrendering themselves to the
sheriff. County Commissioner Joseph
Hall and several other citizens OF the
vicinity started out in pursuit, but
learning the purpose Of the brothers on
coming within signaling distance, they
accompanied them to the end OF their
journey. Senator Lee s. Overman,
Congressman Theo. F. Kluttz and
Judge w. ]. Montgomery were retained
as counsel, Judge Montgomery arriV-
ing from Concord by the 11:25 train IN
response to a telegram. After consul
tation with their attorneys, the Messrs.
White expressed their willingness to
60 to Jail without a commitment.
While showing the concern natural to
quiet citizens finding themselves lot
the first time in collision with the law,
they gave no indications of sense OF
guilt and boldly declared themselves
abundantly justified in what they had
dcne. In the Superior Court this al
ternoon their counsel gave notice OF a
motion to set a date for hearing on
the question of bail. Judge Brown
stated that he would notify Solicitor
W. C. Hammer, whose home Is at Ashe-
boro, and after his arrival. which is
expected, appointed the date for the
hearing.
The following statement was made
ceived a letter from Mrs. Samuel
Archer, whose first husband was their
brother, James White. the father OF the
young lady in the case. the letter read
ing, Annie is ruined. Ny God! what
shall do? Please come at once" These
gentlemen, being the uncles and near
est male protectors Of Miss White,
their dead brothers daughter, hired
team in Concord and drove to the
home OF Mrs. Archer, where they spent
the night. They found Mrs. Archer
and Miss White in great distress. This
morning, shortly after 6 o'clock, tney
went to the home Of Mr.. Sheriff., who
had seduced their niece under promise
Of marriage, and afterwards refused 10
marry her, and conversed with him on
the porch. They asked him to keep his
promise of marriage and he answered
that he would die first. They still in
sisted that he marry her, and he started
towards Mr.. Chalmers White in
threatening attitude. Both the orotn-
ers retreated to the end Of the porch
and told him to sit down and reason
about the matter; that all they asked
was that he marry Miss White. Sher-
rill continued to advance in striking
attitude and both the brothers fred

to pledge himself, it would appear that the democrats who did make pledges, did so with full knowl edge that because this one man made no pledge they could not be held because of their provisos and would thus be able to secure votes, and if elected, the full salary al- lowed. We regret that any such pledges and bids for votes were made at all, as it has caused the public to doubt the word of men whom, heretofore, they had no cause to distrust.
