Charlotte Observer, 11th inst.
James Lang, Charles Rogers,
Walter Wood and H. B. Wilson,
who are charged with breaking in
to the postotlice at Grier's and
who are supposed to have robbed
the stoae of w. q. Shoemaker IN
this city, the store of Heath, Bar
rett & Reid at Matthews, this
county, and with attempting to
rob the bank at Mocksville, were
given a preliminary hearing yes
terday before United States Com.
missioner D. G Maxwell, of this
city.
The evidence was entirely cir
cumstantial in character, but ar
gued the guilt OF the prisoners so
clearly that at the end of the
hearing Commissioner Maxwell
committed the men to Jail in de-
fault OF SO, 700 bonds each, to
await trial in the District Court
at Charleston, S. c., on the first
Tuesday in April,
In the hearing District Attor-
ney Holton, of Winston, repres-
euted the prosecution, while Mr..
Frank Armfeld of Monroe, ap-
peared for the defendants.
1t will be remembered that the
prisoners were arrested at Mon
roe, February End, after two bat
ties with the police force of that
city, in which a vain fusilade of
shots wac exchanged. The sup
posed cracksmen were kept in Jail
at Monroe until March 2nd when
they were brought to Charlotte.

State Constable j. +. Rateman
and his squad yesterday seized
nearly 225 gallons of contraband
liquor In the city Of Columbia.

Constable Bateman found 26 kegs
of corn whiskey. This was a "big

list of injured from the gasoline
explosion which followed wreck
near the depot of East Olean last
night increases hourly. While

seriously burned, the number
scorched painfully will exceed one
hundred. Fifteen bodies have
been recovered and six of them
identified. Some bodies we're so
badly burned that identification
will be impossible.
Mayor Peter f. Foley said to-
day: "Fourteen bodies have
been recovered now and all but
one identified. All were young
men who stood near the tank cars
watching the wreck burn. l doubt
if any more are dead. Four bodies
now in the morgue were taken
from Olean creek this morning
where the victims leaped after be-
ing deluged with burning oil. We
are still searching for bodies.
Some thirty injured are in the
hospital and some of them will die
Olean is greatly distressed by tho
appalling accident as result of
thoughtlessness on the part Of
those who ventured too near the
blazing uil cars"

Arthur Pennell
Instantly Killed.
His Automobile Ran Over Edge
of High Embankment-Dash-
ing Him to Pieces on
Rock

Buffalo, N. Y, March TO-
More terrible almost than the
death of E. L. Burdlck, was the
tragedy that occurred late this af-
ternoon when Arthur H. Pennell,
one of the chief figures in the ln~
vestigation of the B urdick mur-
der, was hurled headlong into
eternity. Mr.. Pennell was riding
in his electric automobile with
Mrs. Pennell. They were on
Kensington avenue near Fillmore
avenue, skimming along the edge
of the Gents stone quarry, a huge
rockribbed hole in tho ground.
Mr.. PennelPs hat blew off. The
automobile swerved and in some
inexplicable manner it leaped
over the curb into the abyss be-
low. Psnnell was killed instant
ly, his head being crushed to an
unrecognizable mass. Mrs. PEN
nell was injured so severely that
the surgeons at the Sisters hospi-
tai, to which she was taken, say
her chances of recovery are very
slight.
MRS. PENNELL DIES OF INJURIES.
Buffalo, MAJ ch 11.-Mrs Ar,
thur Pennell died at the hospital
this evening. The surgeons work
ed over the unconscious form of
the injured woman faithfully. A
faint twitching of the eyellds or a
murmur of PAIN we're the only
signs of returning consciousness
percsptible during the "a hours
the injured woman was in the
hospital. Except for few in
coherent words uttered when she
was first tak ken to the hospital
Mrs. Pennell's lips did not move.

Ex-Presldent Cleveland Denies
Emphatically That He Will
Take Active Part In
Politics.

New York, March 9.-For
mer President Cleveland, who is
now in the city, declared today
that while he would continue, as
he has all his life, to preach doc>
trines of Democracy, it was not
his Intention to take any active
part in the affairs of the party.
"Every time l set foot in the
great metropolis erroneous ru-
mors are circulated concerning
the real object of my visit, and
some political report is started
which places me in the wrong
light before the nation" said the
former president. CHOW set the
public of the country Alright. Pol
itics is absolutely TIE remotest
thought in my mind at the pres.
ent time, and 1T has been for years
past. l have not discussed nor
conferred with any man In the
party whom | have been reported
to have met recently.
'At the time of the Hewitt
memorial meeting l was said to
have had a conference with Mr..

ard, and others.

and will be happy if l am left in

Black Jurors Not Necessary.
Supreme Court Holds it is Legal
for 10 White Men to Convict
Negro.

Washington, March 9.-The
United States supreme court today
affirmed the opinion of supreme
court of South Carolina in the
case of John Bsownfeld v. the
state of South Cxrolina.
Brownfield is the negro barber
who murdered Mr.. Scurry in
Georgetown in 1899 and was the
cause of the riot which occurred at
that time. Several military COM
panies were sent there by the
state at the time. Browntield was
convicted of murder, but through
the efforts of colored lawyer the
case was carried to the supreme
court of the state and then to the
United States supreme court. 1t
was claimed that Brownfield had
been denied the equal protection
of the law, as there were no ne
gross on the grand jury when he
was convicted. His life has been
spared for three years, but it is
now up to Sheriff Joe McKltchen,
of Geor geto wn, to adjust the
moose.

Crushed by an Elevator.
The State, 18th inst.

The State, 18th inst.
The first victim in the work OF
constructing the great steel Rob
ertson building was William Dix
on, colored laborer, who was
instantly killed yesterday morn.
ing by falling elevator.
Dixon stopped for moment
and paused in his work to look
down in the cellar to speak to
some one there. He half lay on
the sixth floor, his head just pro-
Jecting over the shaft. Sudden
ly, without warning, the elevator,
descending almost nolslessly and
with the terrific force of unim-
peded gravlt ty, struck the back OF
his head, crushing it horribly and
