NO NEW DEVELOPMENT.
Fair FaI<irs On Trial For Murder
Taking it COOlly.

Yesterday passed without any de-
yelopments in the case of the two
Fair Fakirs," Clark and Lilliston of
Lileston now under arrest for the
murder of G. S. Smith. at the Union
depot on Saturday afternoon. The
attorneys for the defense at one time
thought that they would have the
body now inferred in Petersburg, eX-
humed and the ball taken out, but
this was not done as the relatives of
the deceased objected, and said that
they would only have this done il $50
would be sent After this it was de-
cided that it would not be necessary
to get the ball.
The theory that there was a third
man who did the shooting is still held
and many still think that the shoot
ing was done too carefully for the
two men not to kill others than the
one man whose fate was decided as
it is said that nearly all of the shots
were too high up to kill either of the
shooters.
The preliminary hearing was had
on Saturday at one O'Clock before
Judge Badger.
AS it was first reported the man
Smith who was killed, was the same
one who was arrested in the dispen-
sary on Wednesday morning of Fair
week for picking the pocket of an old
Confederate soldier, and who was
bound over to court by Judge Badger,
but there seems to be some doubt OF
this now, as officer Austin, who made
the arrest in the dispensary Capt.
Mart Thompson and Turnkey Cham
pion, all say that they did not think
The murdered man was the same man
who was under arrest on Wednesday.
All these officers, as we'll as others,
Jaw Smith the pick-pocket, and also
viewed the body of the dead man and
they are of this opinion.
Yesterday the prisoner, Lilliston,
vas reading in his cell and seemed to
be taking matters perfectly cool. He
was lying with his head to the light
md looked to be very comfortable.
He did not, however, volunteer any
conversation.

Police Justices Court.

The trial of Mr.. r. l.. Gray, charged
with being drunk on the streets and
disorderly conduct, took place yester
day afternoon before Police Justice
badger, who imposed fine of five dol
lars and costs. The charge of drunk
enness was disproved and abandoned.
The "disorderly conduct as disclosed
bv the evidence, consisted in staring
contemptuously at the policeman MAX
ing the arrest, and in not moving from
his place on a crowded sidewalk when
the policeman ordered it to be cleared.
It did not appear that Mr.. Gray Gre
ated any disturbance by loud talking,
resistance to the officer. or otherwise.
The trial excited considerable interest.
Mr.. Gray appealed to the Superior
Court and is confident of reversal of
judgment there.
Mr.. Gray offered to show by wit
nesses that the policeman had said
some weeks ago, following a newspa-
per criticism, that he would nab Gray
the first chance he had. but the Police
Justice declined to admit the teSti-
mony. AS there is to be an appeal to
the Superior Court, there is no doubt
that this testimony will be declared
competent by the Superior Court
Judge.

At STATES PRISON
Supt. Mann's Cousin
Quarantined With
Smallpox.
He Contracted the Disease in Hyde
County. Capt. EweIl Quarantined
at Convict Camp Near
Wendell.

There is a case of smallpox in the
States Prison.
Last week, superintendent Mann
had as his guests during the State
Fair his cousin, Mr.. c. E. Mann, and
other friends from Hyde county. On
his way to Raleigh, Mr.. Mann became
sick and stopped two days in Washing
ton where he was under the treatment
of a physician who did not diagnose
the disease as smallpox, and when he
felt better he came on to Raleigh to
the State Eair. On Friday there was
some eruption on his face and DR.. j.
r. Rogers and DR.. J. w. McGee, Jr.,
were called to see him. They pro-
nounced it smallpox and at once Mr..
Mann was taken to the gardner S
house in the rear of the penitentiary,
and quarantined. Also the whole PEN
itentiary was quarantined While at
the penitentiary Mr.. Mann mingled
freely with the superintendent's fam
lily and the officers of the institution,
but he did not come in contact at all
with the conVictS. There is no fear
that the disease will spread among the
convicts but as the officers came in
contact with Mr.. Mann the quarantine
will be rigid. All will be vaccinated.
While Mr.. Mann was at the peni-
tentiary he slept in the same room
with Capt. Ewing, superintendent at
the camp near Wendell that is grad
ing the Raleigh and Pamlico Railroad.
Capt. Ewell not knowing that it was
smallpox (the doctors had not then
diagnosed the diSease) returned to his
camp the next morning. AS soon as
the disease was pronounced smallpox,
superintendent Mann sent to the camp
near Wendell and directed Capt. EWell
to go into quarantine, and he is now
quarantined in a place near Wendell,
removed from the camp. Captain Has
kins has taken the place of Captain
Ewell.
Speaking of the matter over the
telephone last night, superintendent
Mann said that a rigid quarantine
would be preserved and that he hoped
there would be no other cases. AS to
how the disease originated Mr.. Mann
said that for some time there had been
a disease in Hyde county, chiefly
among the negroes which they called
black measles. During the cotton pick
ing season, Mr.. Mann who has charge
of large farming interests in Hyde
county has necessarily had much to
do with the cotton pickers and it is
supposed that Mr.. Mann contracted
the disease from negroes who were
and that it did not de-
velop until he reached Raleigh.
The authorities in Hyde will, no
doubt now make thorough investiga-
ton and go to work to stamp out the
disease before the coming of cold
weather.

order must be observed, and the peo-
pie must learn that when fair and
honest jury has rendered a verdict,
the Solicitor prayed judgment, the
court refused to set aside the judg-
ment. and renders judgment, which
judgment is affirmed by the Supreme
court, that the Executive cannot for
sympathy through mercy, set at
naught the action of the court. unless
new evidence that the court did not,
or could not have, or new cause be
shown, why the sentence should not
go into effect.
'In this case if the prisoners guilt
was only technical, the judgment
should not have been prayed and the
sentence should not have been pro-
nounced. Both Judge and Solicitor
say the verdict was right and the sem
tence not excessive. ] therefore ought
not, and cannot interfere.

however, that on account of the con-
dition of the prisoners leg, it would
