Says Ho Can Prove an khbi
Especial to News and Observer.


KInston, n. c., Oct. 1.-THE coroner's
jury in the case of the murder of Charles
F. Pate, rendered the following verdict:
THAT the said Charles F. Pate, came
to his death from gunshot wound in
the head, said gun being in the hands OF
one Frank Davis. We recommend that
a warrant be issued for said Frank Davis,
charging him with the commission of the
offense.
In his dying declaration Pate charged
Davis with ambushing him on the even
ing of September 3Oth, stating that he
and Davis had had some words short
while before at which time Davis had
cursed him and threatened him for super
seding him, Davis, in job.
Pate added that after he was shot
Davis came up, and that when he, Pate,
groaned, my God, am / to die here by
myself, Davis returned ''Uh huh" in a
voice that he, Pate. recognized Again
says Pate, Davis called to his dog, which
was barking at the body OF the stricken
man, to come away, saying: Come away
from there, Cd you, or I'll shoot you.
In rebuttal, it is said that Davis claims
the ability to establish an alibi.

Sickness and Want on Grand Cayman
CBy the Associated Press.)

Mobile, Ala, Oct. 13.-According TO in
formation received by steamship FROM
Georgetown, Grand Cayman, the conditions
on the islands as result of the hurricane
and floods are deplorable and the people
are suffering from fever. 1t is also stated
that the supply of food is scant.
The breaking out of fever is attributed
directly to decaying fruit and sap trees
which were felled by the storm and the
numerous cattle that perished 1t is stat
ed that small donations of food are coming
from various sources, but there is not suf
ficient to relieve the sufferings of the
poorer classes. On the island are only two
hpysicians, one of whom is a young man
of limited experience, while the other is
rather an old man.

CARDINAL SARTO
PATRIARCH OF VENICE
is ELECTED POPE

tie OF S. Bernardo delle Terme. He is
also patriarch Of Venice since June, 1898,
and bishop Of Mantua. He belongs 60 the
ecclesiastical congregations Of bishops
and regulars, sacred rites, indulgences aud
sacred relics.
Cardinal Sarto enjoys great popularity
in his diocese, and is honored BY an for
his purity, for the strict uprlghtness Of
his life, and for liberal IDEAS He is a
modest and agreeable man, highly cult
waited, very kindhearted, still strong aud
robust in spite OF his 6S years. He has
never taken great part in the political and
public life Of the church, but divided his
time between study and good works.
Although most faithful 20 the holy see,
he was presented to the king and queen Of
Italy in Venice. He may be considered
among the more liberal members OF the
Italian episcopate and sacred college. He
Is rather timid IN expressing an opinion.
When King Umberto went to Venice to
meet the Emperor Of Germany. Cardinal
Sarto announced his intention OF making
a state visit to the king a hint was sent
him from the Vatican that his course
might not be a wise one, and that he had
best be absent from Venice at the time Of
the kings visit. The decision was left,
however, with SaTto, who carried out his
original plan, made his state visit to the
king, and, It Is said, mentioned the fact
that the Vatican had advised against it,
