able to reach an agreement, whereupon
Judge Leche ordered them locked up
for the night and adjourned court un-
til next morning. Court re-convened
at 1870 O'Clock a. m. Wednesday and
few minutes later the jury fled in and
asked to be instructed on whether it
were possible to return an unqualified
verdict of guilty if the intent to steal
murder or commit ape had been shown
without the crime being committed.
Judge Leehe furnished the desired
information and the jury retired, re-
turning in about ten minutes with an
unqualified verdict of guilty, rendered
through the foreman, Vileor Landry.
At a session OF court held the follow
ing Friday Attorney Lemann fled a
motion for new trial on the ground
that the verdict was contrary to the
law and the evidence, but Judge Leche
overrnled the motion and sentenced
Valentine to death by hanging. Gov
ernor Blanchard signed Valentines
death warrant Saturday March Ii,
fixing Friday April %, as the day of
execution. The preceding Friday,
April q, was originally named as the
day on which Valentine should gay
the penalty for his brutal crime, but
owning to the fact of that day having
been Good Friday, a doubt arose as
to whether the execution would be legal
and it was decided to change the date
to the following Friday, April %.

to the crime for which he suffered the
penalty of death, the following of

his brother-in-law, Adam Emsley, who
was shot and killed by Zenon john

Warsaw, Russian Poland. April 20.
Troops and strikers clashed today at
Czestochowa GAP miles from War
saw near the frontier of Silesia. Four
strikers were killed and over a score
were injured by volleys fired by the
soldiers.
Trouble began yesterday when the
police arrested a number of work
men. AS a protest all the workmen
struck today and a crowd gathered
and demanded the release of the men
arrested. A force of Cossacks and
infantry was assembled and the strilx-
ers were ordered not to advance The
latter refused to obey, placed women
in front of their line and came on.
The Cossacks thereupon charged and
dispersed the mob. One of the strik-
ers fred revolver and then the in
fantry advanced and fired several vol
leys as the crowd retreated.
The situation here is considered
critical. There were some slight dis
turbances today and the public is ex-
ceedingly nervous.

ped and General Conditions.

There was conference here yester-
day of Adjutant General Thomas r.
Robertson. of Charlotte Brigadier-
General Francis A. Macon. of Hender-
son, and Col. Z. II. Balm. of Colds
bOro.
The conference was concerning the
encampment to be held this summer.
A number of places have extended
invitations and others will do the
same. No decision was reached as
to this, or whether there would be a
brigade or regimental encampment. 1t
is suggested there may be both.
The officers report the military COM
panies of the State generally as in good
condition, with marked improvement
in some of them. Col. Balm reports
that three companies have been dis
banded, one at Lexington, two at Dur
ham, also the Reidsville Band and
the Hospital Detachment at Charlotte
Others he reports as in the balance.
General Macon reports the Guard
as being generally well equipped, with
reuqisitions sent in all supplies that
are needed, and funds on hand for
