seen TO come out from the rear of the
hotel few moments before the fire
was discovered; he tells several differ

the fire. and the woman at whose
house he boarded testified that he
came home just as the fire bells We're
ringing. and told her that big fire
was going on up town. Instead If
going with all the others to tie tire,
he sneaked off to bed. He was bound
over to court without being allowed
to give bond.

and succeeded in getting arr esred and
was locked UP in Jail with the accused,

was burned by a firebug and that Joe

it will be proven.

KILLED BY A BICYCLE.
Negro Festival Breaks Up in a Row
TO Lease Electric Lights.
Especial to News and Observer)


Goldsboro. n. c., May 27.-The
death of Mr.. John Flowers at his nome
in this city this morning was the re-
suit of injuries which he received last
Monday morning by being run over by
q bicycle. He was turning around IL
corner of the city hall when d boy on
a bicycle suddenly dashed around the
corner. The front wheel struck Mr..
Flowers with enough force to knock
him down and cause internal injuries.
A festival at a negro suburb known
as James City last night broke up IN
the usual way. Amid the hilarious
ness of the evening pistol shots pierre
ed the air and in a few seconds the
lights went out and the place was as
quiet as a cemetery at midnight for
short while. Two negroes named Ru-
bard Tate and Walter Thompson were
paying attention to the same dusky
damsel Jealousy {, caused Tate TO
strike Thompson over the head with
a billiard cue. When Thompson came
to himself he pulled his gun and be-
gan to shoot. He did not strike his
antagonist, but struck small boy
who was standing near The boy was
very seriously wounded. At this
juncture the lights went out, the fes-
tival broke up and Thompson made
his escape in the darkness.
At the next meeting of the Board
of Aldermen which will be held on
Thursday of next week definite pro-
position will be made to the board for
a lease of the electric light plant and
application will also be made by the
same company for franchise for a
gas plant. The city paid $4,000 for
