likely with Mr.. Davis. 4
The expected coming of the vice
presidential nominee bings up again
the talk Of q joint notification. but
there is really little reason to sup
pose any such thing likely. Judge
Parker has at no time experienced
any Dut a casual interest in the proDo-
sltion and naturally would not feel
that the Initiative could properly
come from him in any case. 1T was
reported that National Comma ateeman

parently there is no present expectaN

definite on that subject cannot he
learned here, for Judge Parker abso-
lutely refuses to discuss any OF his
plans subsequent to his notification.

mount. Judge Parker intends to re-
main here throughout the campaign,
save perhaps for two or three absences
to make speeches in large cities, such
as Chicago, Philadelphia. and New
York, and possibly Boston.
Today's information seems to give
added force to the impression that
Judge Parker will not resign his po-
sition in the court of appeals until
after the formal notification of his
nomination. This would delay the
resignation until after AugustS, and
thus prevent the election of his sue
cessor as chief judge in November.
In that event Governor 0dell would
have the designation of a judge to fiji
the vacancy. The present court Of APP

LET OUT TO DIE
Habeas Corpus LetsJ. w.
Harrington See the
Light Before Lamp
Goes Out.

J. w. Harrington. a white man from
Vance county, who has been confined
for more than year i'm the depart
ment for the criminal insane" In the
penitentiary, was yesterday afternoon
released by Judge Montgomery on
habeas corpus proceedings on his own
recognizance, for his appearance at
the next term of Vance Superior
court for trial on the charge Of en-
bezzlement.
The petition was brought by Har-
rngton through his attorney, w, j
Peele, Esq,
Harrington, man apparently
young but with the indefinite look of
age of the very sick. Ia a pitiable
looking object He is literally dying
of consumption and drags his wasted
form along on weak and stiffened
legs that move only in the sockets Of
the hips as he walks. His back IN
bent and his head bowed. Were II not
for the name, freedom would be 10
him but an empty thing-a mere In
cident before the plunge into the
shadow There is scarcely any PROB
ability OF his ever being able to stand
trial: for death is at his shoulder,
only a trife aloof AS yet.
The circumstances of the case are
such as follow i'm the wake of general
laws with what is almost Jestlul
cruelty The crime alleged was the
embezZlement of five dollars, and the
Jury. instead OF acquittng him on the
charge Of insanity, held that his con-
dition was such that he could not
safely" go to trial. Hence, he was
railroaded to the pententiary, to the
insane department, where, as time
went on and his body wasted away,
the feeble mind grew brighter with
the flare Of intelligence that MARKS
the prelude to the final curtain OF
existence.
The case might have presented an
interesting legal question, the habeas
corpus proceedings being brought for
a discharge instead of for bail. But
Judge Montgomery looked az the pris-
oner and waived technicalitios IN hu-
manity.
II is such cases as this that bring
TO the surface of feeling the re-
curing cry for a law in place OF the
present statutes regarding the crliil-
nal insane" The two words from

oxford, N. c., July 19.--An alarm of
fire and ringing of bells awakened
the people of oxford at three o'clock
this morning to find the Osborne

in the kitchen and had gained re-
markable headway before ii was dis
covered. So rapid was the progress of
the flames that the guests in the rear

Just i'm time to escape, not having
time to save their clothing and val

The Windmill which supplied the
water from well adjoining the
Kitchen was burned and cut off all

with her aged mother, Mrs. Martha
Cannady, were awakened just in time
to escape, but leaving money and val

The wind was from the west and
this saved the row of buildings known
as legal Row" The first building
of the row is a brick building. the
offices or Judge A. w. Graham and

were removed. The entire building
of the Osborne Hotel, the property Of
Mr. William Osborne, of Greensboro,
including rows Of offices on each side
Of the main building, was completely
destroyed, and nothing is to be seen
on the grounds but the chimneys and
smoking ruins.

Of the furniture Of the front rooms
was saved, including "a handsome
piano purchased a few days ago. The
building was insured for $4,000. The

Neither He Nor Sheehan Wants the
Place, and Judge Parker Has De-
CIned to Say Who the
Chairman Shall
Az the Assoclated Press.l

New York, July 19.-Senator Cor
man, as a result of the conferences of
distinguished Democrats who have
been meeting here last night and to-
day has been asked to become chair
man of the Democratic National COM
mittee. With great reluctance he has
taken the request under consideration,
but it seems certain that he will de-
cline. William f. Sheehan is the next
choice, but he also may not accept,
chiefly because he regards his haelth
as unequal to the strain. Should
neither Senator German nor Mr..
Sheehan accept the chairmanship
opinion is quite uncertain as To who
may be chosen. Judge Parker has
declined to say who should be the
chairman, preferring to leave the
matter entirely with his advisers and
the National Democratic Committee.
The Democratic leaders who came
TO New York at the suggestion of
former Senator Henry G. Davis, the
Democratic candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent, to talk with him regarding the
campaign today continued, informally,
the conference of last night. The
rooms of ex-senator David Il. Hill, at
the Hoffman House. were the storm
centre.
Mr.. Davis, Senator German, Nor
man T.. Mack, of Buffalo, the Demo-
cratic National Committeeman from
New York. State: ex-senator James
Smith, Jr., of New Jersey; James M.
Head, national committeeman from
Tennessee; Senator Bailey. of Texas,
and William f. Sheehan, of Buffalo,
were among these who called on Mr..
Hill today and talked with him and
among themselves about the general
outlook and the chairmanship. Mr..
Davis and Mr.. Hill had a long con
versation. Mr. Davis spent n con-
siderable portion of his day at his
rooms in the Fifth Avenue Hotel re-
ceiving golfers, among them being
Senator Hill and all others who parti-
cipated i'm the conference. Senator
Hill intends 10 visit Judge Parker the
latter part of this week.
John w. Kern, Of Indiana, in dis
cussing the question of chairman of
the Democratic National Committee,
declared this afternoon that he was
strongly in favor of Thomas Taggart
for chairman. Mr.. Kern said he had
not seen any difference in the situa-
ton since the laskmeeting of the Ma
tional Democratic Convention in st.
Louis.
Mr.. Kern was ksaed il the failure
Of the committee TO elect Mr.. Taggart
chairman would have any effect on
the vote i'm Indiana and replied:
81 would not like TO say that it
would make any difference, for that
would imply a threat"
Mr.. Kern was asked if he thought
the repeated conferences were due to
opposition on the part Of Judge Park

said in reply:

BLACK FOR BREESE
Strong Testimony Against
Him Brought Out by the
Prosecution.
6By the Associated Press. )

Charlotte, n. c., July 19.-What the
prosecution regards as a piece of
strong testimony was brought out to-
day in the fourth trial of Major w. E.
Breese, late president of the First
National Bank Of Asheville, who is
charged with taking $4,000 of the
banks funds and together with two
other officers wrecking the institution,
when it was shown that the defunct
bank had collected drafts for other
banks to the amount of $4,000 and
that no rcmittances had been made.
Colonel w. II. S. Burgwyn, the Ma
tional Bank Examiner. who took
charge of the institution when the
doors were closed testified TO the state
of facts. The drafts were collected
between July 10 and July 80. the day
of the failure. The books showed
that remittances had been made for
the collections and in the bank were
checks which had been drawn for this
purpose. However, the First Nation
al Bank had overdrawn its account
in the banks upon which the checks
were drawn.
Receiver V. S. Lusk, who took
charge of the bank testified that he
realized less than $4,000 on the as
sets of the institution. The total as
setS OF the bank as reprcSen ted by
notes, however, amounted to $751;
loV.o6, among these being four in
dIvidual notes signed by Major Breese
for $4,000 on which he was unable to
Coilect anything. An aged crippled
iaborer testified that he signed four
Dlank notes, and it was shown that
afterwards the notes were filled out
Tor sI2OO and discounted by the
Dank. IhIs was in line with num-
ocr OF similar cases, evidence of which
mas peeh offered from time to time.
iouay marked the beginning of
the second week of the trial and the
government does not vet give any
sign OF closing its testimony. This is
tne fourth time Major Breese has been
| on trial, being convicted once and

DRAGGED TO DEATH
PIunging Mule and Trace
Chain Torture.
Bruised and Torn the Negro is Fonnd
Unconscious and Despite Medical
Attention He Dies Without
a Word.

A frightened mule plunging along
beating head first against the ground,
screams of agony. and then the quiet
that means death.
That is the OILY solution to the end
ing of the life of negro, Edward
Buston Hicks who was employed as
a laborer on the farm of Mr.. Bryant
Smith, near Raleigh. Late Monday
evening the mule was found near the
lot and the unconscious body of Hicks
some distance away. The condition
of the mule. the trace chain on it
and the appearance OF Hicks body
told the story The bleeding and
unconscious form was taken TO Rex
Hospital, where every attention was
given, but at ten O'Clock at night
death came TO the sufferer.
A man who saw the deceased late
in the afternoon says that he was rid
ing on mule sitting sideways, with
the trace chain fastened up on the
collar of the mule. i is said that
the mule SHE'D or jumped from some
cause and that this threw Hicks over
backward his feet catching in the
trace chain.
The mule became more frightened
and plunged madly along, the weight
of the bounding body fthe negro
exciting it still more. The man was
caught fast and could not withdraw
his feet. His head striking on the
road soon rendered him unconscious
When the body was found the tom
que of the sorely wounded man was
still. His head was cut, bruised and
bleeding, his clothing torn his bod
bearing the marks of the ride Is
death on which it had gone. No4 once
did he speak again.
The negro was a man of family. a
good laborer, and Mr.. Bryant Smith
speaks well of him. The body was
committed to it's last resting place
yesterday.
