A Fight in the House Of the Strange Woman
and Its Results.

Durham, N. c., Sept. 2s.-In the police
court this morning Charles Taylor, col
ored, was sent over to court for shooting
John Canada. He could not give bond
and was committed to JAIL There is
another charge against him, for carrying
concealed weapon. The prisoner remem-
bered drinking and carousing around with
the negro men and remembers that he
and John Dudley. the man he shot at
when he struck Canada, were together,
but he did not reminder shooting.
At first the officers thought that Taylor
and Dudley were the two men who rob-
bed the postoffice at Hillsboro, but they
are now confident that they are not the
ones who did that job. The men who
robbed the postoffice has been in Dur
ham, SO it is said, and on Saturday after
noon he was seen by Postmaster Craig,
who came down here, but the negro skin
ped before the officers could find him.
AT a late hour Saturday night there
was a fight in disreputable house in
the eastern part of the city and one
young man, Otis Leigh, was wounded.
1t is said that he was cut by Jack Toll
bert and both men were before the mag
istrate this morning. The fact that a
deadly weapon was used could not be
proven and the court fined them $40
each and cost. Another young man who
was in the house at the time has skipped
out.
Services were held in the main audi
forum of the First Presbyterian church

Williamson, N. c., Sept. 2S.-A two
weeks term of Martin County Superior
court closed today at noon. His Honor,
G. S. Ferguson, the judge presiding has
made good impression here.
There was largely congested criminal
docket of trifling offenses. which con-
sumed considerable time.
The negro boy, Josephus Williams,
prominently known for the burning OF
Anderson Hassell & Co.'s store in July,
and numerous other serious offences, was
sentenced to twenty-five years in the State
prison. He is only about twelve years
of age. but is well educated in crime al
this early age. 1t is thought here that
unless the very closest guard is kept over
him he viii escape from prison, as he
has done from the county Jail here on
several occasions, and should this occur,
he will do great harm here in the COM
munity on his return, before he can be
apprehended.

HARBOR At BEAUFORT

New Bern, N. c., Sept. 2S.-Congress-
man Charles r. Thomas in an interview
today with your correspondent speaking
of the probable work for the Third North
Carolina District at the next session of
Congress said Among other important
matters which I propose to agitate and
take up is liberal appropriation for
Beaufort haIhor and it's adjacent waters.
1T is well known that the harbor at
Beaufort and Morehead City presents ad-
vantages as deep terminal, unsurpassed
by any point upon the Atlantic Coast
The dream of Governor Morehead Was
thorough line of railroad under one man
agement from eastern North Carolina to
the mountains of the State with Beaufort
harbor as the eastern terminus, and a
line Of steamers thence to New York and
other northern points.
Whether this scheme shall ever be
realized or not, it is certainly practicable
to develop this great harbor and make it.
a deep water terminal In connection with
tie Atlantic and North Carolina Rail-
road, or some other railroad or system.
The harbor should have quarter of
million dollars for it's improvement. l
propose to bend every energy to secure
as large an appropriation for the harbor
and its adjacent waters as possible.
This improvement is specially import
ant at this time because, of the proposed
inland waterway in which my colleague,
Mr.. Small, is doing such hard and effective
work and in which / am heartily CO.
operating with him.
For some years past the appropriations
for Beaufort harbor have been very small
and meagre, an dthis has been false pol
icy on the part of the government.
Il shall endeavor to impress the Com
mittee on Rivers and sIIarbors with the
great importance to the State and country
of the Improvement of the harbor
THE inland waterway would be value
less without deep water terminal at
Morehead City and Beapfort The two pro-
jects go hand in hand
Next winter every energy and influence
at my command shall be used to secure
both appropriations and the carrying out
of both projects
Mr.. Thomas today received information
from Supt. Kimball, of the Life Saving
Service, that work on the two life saving
stations at Beaufort and Beaufort Inlet
would be pushed; also that immediate ad-
vertisement would be made for contract
for the Goldsboro public building.
