CAPT. II. A. SWITZERLAND DEAD
Prominent Fayetteville Citizen Passes
Away After Long Illness.
Especial to The Messenger.)

Fayetteville, N. c. January 10
Few deaths have brought so much
sorrow to a community as that of Cap
tain r. A Switzerland, who passed
away yesterday afternoon at his home
on Green street. The death Of Captain
Switzerland was not unexpected, as he
had been in failing health for the past
denly, the immediate cause being heart
failure, and not only to his grief strick-
en- family. but to Fayetteville as a
whole his loss will be keenly felt and
his place not easily filled.
Since his arrival in this city more
than sixteen years ago, Captain South
erland was active in all that made for
the good of the town. >
He was, UP to : year ago, when he
vas attacked by the mortal illness to
which he at last succumbed, General
freight and passenger agent at this
point, which position he filed with
marked efficiency, having the highest
regard of the Atlantic Coast Line Conn
pany, and all with whom he came i'll
contact.
Captain Switzerland, during his resi-
dence in Fayetteville, identified himself
not Crly with it's social life and busi-
ness interests but was also a prominent
lodge man, holding many offices with
both the Knights of Pythias and Odd
Fellows, and was also for many years
superintendent of the Sunday school of
the First Presbyterian church.
Few men have left behind them a
more beautiful record of a life of use
~fulress, high integrity and honor.
Captain Switzerland is survived by
his wife. who was Miss Faison, and two
children.
The funeral services took place this
afternoon at 8 o'clock from the First
Presbyterian church.

similar to that which NJ. Waldeek-
Rousseau exercised when voluntarily
r~elinquishing power.
The effect Of the change upon the
governments policies Is o considered
TO be great. The new ministry viii
have the same majority as that sup
porting Premier Combes and so there
cannot be a radical change. This ma
jority has repeatedly Upheld VI. Combes'
project tending toward separation of
Church and State. 1t is therefore ex-
pected h the programme relating TO
the separation will be carried out, al
though NJ. Combes' retirement proba-
bly, will exercise a moderating tendency.
The issue which proved most decisive
ir Fastening the designations OF the
ministers was the popular outcry
against secret reporting on the lives Of
army officers. The change undoubted-
ly will insure the abandonment of the
last vestige Of this system.
Premier Combes was waited upon by
a number of members of the chamber,
who urged that he reconsider his de-
cisiou to resign, but he positively refus-
ed to do 80.
Owing to the death Of Mime. Loubet
the presentation of the designations of
t,e ministers has been deferred until
Wednesday morning. President Loubet
will begin on Wednesday afternoon con-
situations for the formation of a new
ministry. NJ. Rouvier appears practi-
cally decided upon as the future chief
of the ministry, and it is understood
that he has asked NJ. DelCasse and NJ.
NJ. BeTteaux to retain the foreign and
war portfolios, respectively.

NEW TRIAL FOR BURTON.
Supreme COur Reverses Verdict of
Disfrict Court in Case Against the
T.. s. Senator.

Washington, January 16.-The Ease of
Senator J.. r.. Burton was decided by
the Supreme court of the United States
today dismissing the writ OF certiorari
to the Circuit Court of Appeals for the
Eighth circuit and reversing the YER
dict of the District court for the East
ern district of Missouri on the ground
that the payments to Burton were made
in Washington. The District court
was therefore reversed and the case
remanded for a new trial.
Justice Peckham rendered the decis-
zion. Five justices, Harlan, Brown,
McKenna. Holmes and Day were Of
opinion that there was sufficient evil
dence Of guilt to be submitted to the
jury, or were not prepared to say there
was not and four, Fuller. Brewer. White
and Peckham were of opinion hat there
vas no evidence whatever upon which
to find a verdict of conviction.
AS to the sixth, seventh, eighth and
ninth counts of the Indictment the
court finds that the averments where
The different checks were received and
paid were not true His checks were
received in washington, endorsed by
Senator Burton and deposited in the
riggs National Bank in this city. This
constituted a payment in Washington
and not in St. Louis where the checks
were afterward paid by the Common
wealth Trust Company M the decision
holds that the court had no jurisdiction
IS to those counts and that there was
a total lack of evidence to sustain them.
It is held that the lower court should
have directed a verdict of not guilty
as to these counts
Justice Harlan d%issented, holding that
the payment was made In ST. Louis.
The trial under the Indictment charg-
ing Senator Burton with receiving a
cash payment at st. Louis will proceed
Immediately at that place. The depart
ment Of justice has not yet considered
the question of the trial place of the
Indictment alleging payments in this
city. 1t is possible the statute of limi-
tation may operate against it.

M. Combes called at the Elysee Pal

of his mother, who died at 3 O'Clock
this afternoon. The Presidents afflic-

HOUSE ON SOUND BURNED.
Residence Of Mrs. F. G. Pritcharf
Burned to the GrOund-Fire Occur
red Yesterday Afternoon.

Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock
the residence Of Mrs. T. G. Pritchard
on Wrightsville Sound was destroyed
by fire. In twenty-six minutes after
the fire was discovered the building
had been burned to the ground.
The first that was known Of the
fire, smoke was seen issuing from the
roof. There was no mar on the prem
Uses but a force Of men who were at
york On the track of the Consolidated
Company quickly responded when the
alarm Of fire was given. They secured
a ladder and went on top Of the build
ing and tore a hole in the root intend
ing to pour in water and e%xtinguish
the flames, but the way in which the
house was built there was another
roof below and this prevented them
from being able to put out the fire. 1t
was only q few minutes before the
flames burst through the root and
then it was seen that there was no
hope in the world of stopping the
flames. In the meantime part of the
men from the railroad force and many
Of the residents Of Wrightsville had
arrived and carried the greater part of
the furniture from the building, but
part of it was badly damaged. There
was a very strong vino blowing and
those who were at the fire say they
never saw a building burn so quick
ly.
1t was a two story frame dwelling
and the loss is estimated at about
$4,000. The house was insured but
Mr.. w. R. Barksdale attended TO the
insurance and he went to Charlotte
yesterday and consequently it is not
known what amount was carried.
An addition had been added to the
house since the first built and hat is
what causes the oof at the part where
the building caught fire to be con-
structed in such a peculiar manner.
The house was owned by and was the
home of Mrs. f. G. Pritchard, and she
and her daughter, Mrs. Holiday and
her little daughter Of Savannah, were
in the house when the fire was discov-
cred. Mr.. w. r. -Barksdale also made
his home at Mrs. Pritchard's.
The burned residence was located
on the left side Of the suburban car
line just a few hundred yards before
reaching the station at Wrightsvilie.
It was one of the incest houses on the
Sound.

Will Adams Sentenced to be Hanged
on Feb. 10th.
Especial to The Messenger.)

Raleigh, n. c., January 16.-In the
Superior court here, William Adams, a
negro, was convicted for the second
time of the murder Of Mary Rogers
and her two children. He appeals on
the ground Of errors in the Indictment
and Of the failure of the judge to note
the fact that he was charged with
killing three persons, while originally
only one was named. The effort Of the
defence is to show that the Woman's
husband was the murderer. The evil
dence is very strong against Adams,
though largely circumstantial.
He is n of the worst looking GRIM
inals ever seen here. He is sentenced
to be hanged on February 10th.
