How J.; Wesley Walker Got Into the
 Convention.

J. Wesley Walker of this city, and a . republican, yesterday succeeded in breaking into the national democratic convention at St. Louis. He was not a mere onlooker from the galleries but he had a seat on the floor of the con Vention but so far as is known he was not permitted to vote and he was prob ably not given a place on any com nltttee.
 MT. Walker when he left Phoenix de- cided to make his visit to the worlds 5 fair city co-incident with the demo- cratic convention. He would take both in for the price of a single rail- road fare. It seems not to have oe- cured to him until the day before yes terday that he might not be able to get into the convention. He thought that it would be as wide open as the fair. But he learned on Tuesday that the convention was a ticket affair and that the tickets could not be obtained on the open market. He saw thous- ands of democrats there from all parts of the country who had been unable to secure access to the convention. There was not man of his acquaintance in St. Louis of any influence to whom he could apply for aid. He was up against a stone wall in which there was

Laying all jokes aside there are a number on both sides that haven't got so far past their school days that they have entirely forgotten what they learned. And boy who didn't learn baseball at school surely could not have learned much of anything else. A good game on Friday therefore, need not be a surprise to anybody.

 It is the easiest thing in the world to stop catarrh at its beginning if you use Hyomei Just breathe the health giving, balsamic air for a few minutes and your catarrh will be cured. In the worst cases of this disease, chronic or acute, Hyomei used four or five times day is all that is needed to soon effect a cure.
 The complete Hyomei outfit costs but s1.OO and comprises hard rubber pocket inhaler. bottle of Hyomei and a dropper. The inhaler will last a life time; and additional bottles of Hyo- mel can be obtained for soc.
 In this city and neighboring towns. there are hundreds who can testify to the remarkable powers of Hyomei to cure catarrh. Many of the staunchest friends of this remedy today began its use with little hope that they would be cured, but as H. Goodman offered to refund the money if it did not cure, they decided to try it on that plan, and were soon restored to health.

ANOTHER STORY OF THE CRIME.
Wonderful Prcsncc OF Mind Leads to
Discovery OF Criminal.

Especial to News and Observer.)
Durham, N. c., July 22.-Louis
Ruffin, negro, abont forty years of
age, was brought here from HillSboro
this afternoon for safe keeping and
to prevent lynching. He is charged
with burglarizing the home of Mrs.
Katie Latta and attempting a crimi-
nal assault, this morning about two
O'Clock. His arrest caused much feel
ing and i'll order to prevent lynching
he was brought here by Deputy Sher-
if Hughes.
This morninp about two o'clock.
Mrs. Latta, who lives in the heart of
town, heard some one in her room.
The person came to her bed and
placed his hands on her person. She
thought it her son, who walks in his
sleep, and grabbed him by the hand
and called him. She then found that
it was a very large hand With the
thumb gone. Her screams aroused
her son, eighteen years old, who
rushed to her room The intruder
knocked him down in making his es-
cape.
Ruffn worked for Mrs. Latta and
the fact that the thumb was gone
caused his arrest. He could not ac-
count for his whereabouts and it was
proven that he said yesterday he was
glad some person had left the homo
of Mrs. Latta as the "Daun scoundrel
had been in his way" Examination
was waived and the prisoner rushed
here for safe keeping Ruffin is a

AN ATTEMPTED CRIME
The Clock Had lust Struck Two When
Mrs. Latta Awoke to Find This
Sinister Human Shadow
Bending Over Her
Couch.
Especial to News and Observer. }

Especial to News and Observer
I1illsboro, n c., July 22.-The clock
struck two.
of the night by the presence of some
one in her chamber, Mrs. Kate Latta.
widow residing in the very heart OF
our town, sprang up in bed quivering
with the horror that comes to her
who feels that life-nay, worse than
life-is threatened by the midnight in
vader of the sanctity of her home.
In the dim light within the room
she saw a figure standing close be-
side the couch. The head was bent
toward hers. She saw the gleam of
his eyes. She felt the touch of his
hand.
With a shrek the brave woman rose
and grappled with him. Her hand
touched his and closed upon it. An
other shrek escaped her lips. That
touch, revealing as it did a missing
thumb carried with it shock OF
recognition. Aye, she knew the wretch
knew and her soul was shaken. The,
house echoed to her thrilling cries.
There was a rush of footsteps. 1t
was Mrs. Latta's son--an eighteen
year-old boy-flying to her aid.
The negro heard. He wrenched
himself free. He plunged across the
room. The window by which he ha ~
entered was before him. The dark
figure of Mrs. Latta's son dashed be-
tween. The negro threw him aside.
Then like some evil apparition of the
night he leaped through the window
and vanished.
But Mrs. Latta knew enough.
The alarm was given and a warrant
sworn out before the mayor, Joseph
A. Harris. This warrant was placed
i'm the hands of an officer, \who at
once proceeded to serve it, He sue
ceeded without difficulty in locating
the man wanted, negro of deperate
character named Lewis Ruffin.
Ruffin had already served three
terms in the States prison. Acting
under the advice of his lawyer, Major
John w. Graham. he waived an eX-
animation and was committed to the
Jail at Durham to await his trial at
Orange Superior court. This will con-
vene August the Sth with JUDGE Henry
r. Bryan presiding.
Meanwhile it is we'll that the negro
has been rushed out of this commun-
ity. The people of old Orange are
conservative and laW-abiding, but woe
to the wretch who insults or seeks to
DO violence to any one of her women.
The first harsh mutterS of gather
ing storm were already beginning to
roll through our midst when the negro
was sent hence. Had he been COM
mitted to the Jail here it is doubtful
indeed if he had ever seen the rising
of another sun.
