COST or THE LEGISLATURE.
Expense of Running the Past Session
$4,000 in Round Figures as
Against 1000 in 1908.

Auditor Dixon stated yesterday that
the expense of holding the General
Assembly this year would be, in round
figures, O,GO0, as against $67, 900 last
year. The increase of $4,000 is less
than has heretofore been estimated.
When it is considered that the as
sembly had to deal with the work of
the Committee on the Codification Of
the laws, requiring the full time of two
clerks at an expense of several hun
bred dollars and much of the time OF
Mr.. Geo. p. Pell, the clerk to the Code
Commission, and that the various Ia
borers of the body were this year paid
their mileage in addition to salaries,
the increase will be seen not to imply
any particular extravaganza as related
to the expenditures of previous Cen
eral Assemblies

The w. H. King Drug Company
say: Our cod liver oil preparation,
Vinol, is the greatest tissue builder

all of the bodybuilding, lfe-givins

Vinol has strengthened and blessed
with robust health Vinol invigorates
the stomach first of all, enabling it to
separate from the food the elements
needed for rich red blood, healthy
body material and sound, steady

tissues, checks the natural decline and
replaces weakness with strength"

NEED FIRE ENCINE2 2.
Aldermen Consider Pur-
chase of New Steamer,
and Disposal of Old.

The Board of Aldermen held a spe-
cial session yesterday afternoon for
the purpose of hearing from Mr..
Hugh Robinson of Atlanta, who rep
resents the American La France En-
CINE Company of Elmira, New York,
as to a proposition to sell to the city
a new steamer fire engine and to take
the old and antiquated engine now
owned by the city in part payment of
the purchase price.
The proposition made by Mr.. Rob-
inson was to sell the city the new en-
CINE, which is what is called the
third class Metropolitan engine" with
a capacity of 500 gallons per minute
and weighing $500 pounds. for the
price of $4,000, and to accept in part
payment therefor the old engine at
the price of $1,000. The terms of sale
proposed were that the city should
pay $4,000 cash upon receipt of the
engine and $4,000 balance within six
months after the first payment.
The matter was referred to a joint
meeting of the Finance and Fire Com
mittees of the board, their report to
be made to the next regular meeting
of the Aldermen.
Chief Woolcott who was present at
the meeting, SAID afterwards Indt the
visit of Mr.. Robinson had been brought
about by a letter which he had writ
ten to the American La France Conn
pany with reference to the sale of
the old engine now owned by the city,
which Is never used. He stated that
in his opinion a reliable steamer is
necessary to the protection of the city
from fire. While the pressure from
the water mains is as good as could
be hoped from such a system, it is
not adequate for the protection of
high buildings, and Raleighs inn
munity from fire loss has been to that
extent matter of fortune, although
the department can with the present
equipment readily deal with the class
of fires in dwellings and low build
ings which have been the rule in the
city for some time. 1t is impossible,
said Mr.. Woolcott. for the requisite
pressure for the needs of a city like
Raleigh to be obtained from the dis
lance that the pumping house is from
the town and along so long a line OF
pipe and hose as is necessary in the
ordinary Raleigh fire. With the
pressure which may be obtained from
modern steamer a stream of water
may be thrown at least for half again
the distance possible under the sys-
tenn now in vogue locally.

DAN TEACHY APPEAL.
Argument Heard in the Supreme
Court in Case of Alleged Slayer
of Bob RivenbarIz.

Attorney General Gilmer has argued
in the Supreme Court the case of Dan
Teachy, who was convicted last Oc-
tober in Duplin county of murder III
the first degree for the killing of Bob
Rivenbark, on March Attn, 1908.
Teachey had before been tried. con-
victed, and granted new trial by the
Supreme Court.
According to the evidence Riven-
bark went to the house of one Easter
Williams to employ her to do farm
labor and was leaving when he was
shot in the yard He ran for some
distance and fell dead, accusing
Teachey of the crime. The motive al
legged was jealousy on the part of
Teachey as to the woman. His de-
Tense was an alibi, which he sought
to prove chiefly by the testimony of
several of his sisters. 1t was also
shown in evidence that Teachey had
made threats against the deceased.

getting through the extradition pro-

erroneous. The truth is just the op-
posite. 1t is the quickest case of ex-
tradition from Mexico to the United

elapsed between the time the extradi-
tion papers were delivered to the

The fastest record heretofore made in

safe-Crackers at Work.

Some time during Tuesday night the
store of A. L. McWayue at Drytowu
was entered by burglars, the iron safe
blown open and rhed of all its contents
in money. The safe-crackers were evil
IDENTIFY conVersant not only with the
conditions within the store, but also
with the time when it was likely that
the safe would be flush with cash. Nc
Wayne usually gets money before pay
day at the Fremont, SO as to be able to
cash checks of employees who come to
the store to pay their accounts. He
closed business about the usual hour
Tuesday night, his residence being
some distance from the store. He knew
nothing of what had been done until he
went to open up Wednesday morning.
The burglars effected an entrance
through the roof, and although ex-
plosives were used In blowing open the
inner door of the safe, no one seems to
have been awakened by the noise of the
explosion so as to investigate for the
cause. The cracksmen had the place
for themselves. and helped themselves
to whatever valuables they pleased
WITHOUT hindrance. It is thought that
three men were concerned In the affair:
two on the inside, actually engaged in
the work of robbery, and one outside
on the watch, as the impression in the
grass in one of the alley-ways on the
sides of the premises shows where
someone had lain. The safe opened
was OF an old pattern. The barriers
were sundered without difficulty by
dynamite. The robbers secured as
booty for their nights work 1925. OF
this sum 1925 was postoffice money,
5000 was on deposit, and 5000 belonged
to the proprietor. The exploit is
thought to have been carried out about

Gus barking about that hour. Deputy

FATAL ACCIDENT.
Edward Hallam Falls in the Kennedy
Shaft and is Killed

A fatal accident occurred at the Ken

being young man named Edward

how he met his death will never be

pears he was employed in the 240O foot
level, tending chuck. He had occasion
to descend the manway to the tank,
some 40 feet below the station. For
this purpose he used the ladder 'way.
On his way down, and when about Is
feet from the platform below, he was
met by another miner, named H. S.
Miller, who was ascending the ladder.
Hallam stepped off the ladder on to one
OF the timbers to let him pass Miller

and asked him if he wanted a candle.
He replied in the negative. 1t was
only few feet from the bottom, and
there were two lights kept by the skip
tender there. About this time the
skip descended the shaft in the other
compartment. Whether Halam in
stepping on the timbers came in col
lision with the skip, or whether he let
go the ladder on the approach of the
skip, will never be known. He fell less
than 20 feet. A cash over the right
eye was the only wound that appeared.
The skull was not fractured, but his
neck was broken. Thos. Grasso was
on the platform when he came down.

He was raised to the surface In short

after reaching the top.
He was young man about 25 years
OF age. 1t was reported that he has
brother in Saginaw, Michigan, but
kilograms sent there concerning the
disposition of the body brought no
response.
Coroner auberty held an inquest on
Tuesday, and the jury returned a YER
dict of accidental death in accordance
with the facts above stated.
: Prior to his employment at the Ken
nedy, the victim had worked for sew
eral months at the plant at Electra.

&orked with him or k new him. Finally
word was received from relative in
