P. P. Waldenstrom, general re-
former and head of the Mission
Friends, has been heard from, and
his subject is of the highest import
ance. his remarks were occasioned
by proposition made by Bishop Bill
ling, that the creed of the state
church be made. a triae less rigid
than it is at the present time. Wal
denstrom makes the following start
ling contention: "A man may easily
be a minister in the state church
though he openly denies large part
of the second article of the Apostolic
Creed. The conception by the Holy
Ghost, the birth by virgin, the re-
surrection, the ascention, the return
all of these grand features of the
life of our Saviour may. freely be ex-
planned as myths, as legends used for
clothing beautiful ideas. Indeed, one
may be called an "obscurant" when
he defends the Divine authority of
Holy Writ and the contents of the
second article of the Apostolic Greed
called an 'obscurant,' say, by min
listers who have bound themselves by
a solemn oath to the Creed, and who
every Sunday read that Creed from
the altar. It has come to that pass.
And it may come still further" Wal
denstrom evidently thought that
Bishop billing had him in mind when
using the word, "obscurrant," and
Waldenstrom is not quite ready YET
to present his. other cheek even
though a bishop smites him.
Magnesite has been found only at
one place in Sweden, namely, at
Tarekaise, Norrland. But there it
occurs in large quantities, and a syn
dictate LAS been formed for mining
and exporting it. This mineral plays
an important part in the manufac-
ture of Bessemer STEEL and tho
American Steel Trust has been great
ly interested in the fimines at Tare-
kaise. But so far the property seems
to be controlled by Swedes. Most of
the magnesite used: at the present
timesds obtained in Germany, Austria
and California; The deposits at Tare-
kaise are said to be large enough TO
supply the whole world for some time
to come.

Who Shot Wyatt.

When Colonel Beasley made his talk
room on the 18th, he stated that Cen
erel Angus. now editor of h Baltl-
more American, said that at the bat
tie of Bethel Wyatt was killed by Co
lionel. afterwards General Fitzpatrick,
of Ku klux fame. According to Cen
eral Angus, Fitzpatrick was wounded
and left in the church which Wyatt, K.
Fl. Bradley, George Williams and ]. H
Thorpe volunteered to burn. He, An
gus. a gone to rescue F1tzpatrlck.
When these men started on their mis-
sion, whose import he and his wound
et companions realized, Fitzpatrick
said, you a n I'll fire." This he
did as the men advanced and one drop
ped.
Fortunately, when Colonel Beasley
made this statement there were pres
ent the two surviving members of that
volunteer squad, Messrs. Bradley and
Thorpe, n they expressed their dis
sent.
When dinner was over, at the sug-
gestion of several, the Edgecombe
guards were assembled and Captain
Thorpe. with Mr.. Bradley, recounted
the fight at Bethel. Wyatt, he said,
| was not killed from the church, but
| from the bushes or low timber on the
right of the opening; that there could
be no doubt about this; the wound.
the direction they were moving, their
own observations, all proved this; that
he and his other comrades had more
than once talked over their charge to
the church which they were to fire,
| and each and every one Of the surviv-
| ors of the volunteers called for on that
occasion had agreed in that the fatal
bullet was fired from the right.
When it is remembered that Wyatt
and his companions were all members
Of the Bethe regiment and also of the
Edgecombe guards, designated as Com
| pany A, in that regiment, the appro-
p~riateness as relating to the same or
ganization, but of different men and

BOX CAR ROBBER
Wilmington Negro Caught in the
Very Act by n Air Line
Detectiye-JaiIed Here Yesterday
and VIII be Tried Tomorrow.

At last. unless the strong arm of the
law unnecessarily weakens, a young
man, William Brown, Familiarity
known by the peculiar alias Of Sky
.GaZer'' for the reason that he con-
keeps in eyes raised towards
the heavens, will get his just deserts.
He has long been suspected Of robbing
|oox cars and now the suspicion has
narrowed itself down to knowledge,
watch can be placed before a jury.
Brown is charged with robbing a box
car on the Seaboard Air Line n was
Icaught rec handed in the act. His
capture was made last Saturday night
and he was taken to Hamlet and kept
there until yesterday, when he was
brought to this city in custody of Rail
road Detective R. A. Daugherty, of
Norfolk, Va, and placed in Jail.
For some time past box cars on the
lSeaboard had been robbed between
Wilmington and Hamlet and the ma
lJOrity of the robberies were perpetrat-
led While the cars were attached to
freight trains. Detective Daugherty
Twas assigned to investigate the rob-
Ibaries. Last Saturday night, in conse-
lquence OF another robbery that occur
red the day before, he and Special
Agent G.. S. Fitzwater, of Hamlet,
bearded the freight train leaving Will
Ini:ngton and kept on the alert for the
thief or thieves. Conductor T. B. Henry
Twas in charge of the train and when
the train stopped at Northwest he dis
lowered that TIE seal of one of the
ears was broken. He investigated and
made the further startling discovery
THAT the negro Brown was in the car.
He called Detective D~augherty and
Especial Agent Fitzwater and they cap
ltured the negro, who had broken Open
several of the boxes in the car and
had stolen and placed in a basket hand
k~e-chiefs. pocket books and other ar
~ticles. He couldn't do otherwise than
acknowledge his guilt, but he would not
the entire responsibility, saying
that another negro was implicated in
1.-THE robbery. On account of his accu-
station he was taken to Hamlet and i'm
lpIISoned while a search was made for
the other negro. However, his state
ment could not De verified in IN way
SD he was brought to this city yester-
lday and Jailed.
The robbery itself was discovered in
Ianother county other than New Hano-
yer, but it is said hat the car seals
iwere broken and the car entered in this
county, so consequently the trial will
be held here. It is set for tomorrow
afternoon at ? o'clock in Justice Bor-
lnemann'S court.
Brown has long been suspected Of
iaisO robbing Atlantic Coast Line box
cars and for n of these thefts he was
Iarrested and tried in the superior court,
several terms ago. He escaped on a
ltechnicality, as the stolen goods found
lin his possession could not possibly be
identified. This will not be the case
this time, as the stolen goods in ques-
ton will be identified. They were
shipped from New York to a merchant
lat CrOnly.
The plan practiced by Brown in rob-
Ding the cars was to wait until the
train stopped at night at a small sta
ton and then break the seals and ac-
lcomplish his knavish object.
