CHAPTER XXII,

CHAPTER XXIl.
 When Gonzaga returned leading the horse, he was astonished to find the gig empty.
 But he felt no alarm at first; Law ender had probably joined a friend somewhere, and he studied attentively the groups about the church and on the road. None looked familiar-no- where did he see the gracefully poised head which not even the ungainly poke-bonnet could wholly disguise. ... It occurred to him that she might be hiding in the forest near. and the idea pleased him-that she might indulge in such bit of ooquetry was delicious to the starved lover. He encouraged this hope, and while he harnessed the horse. cast shy glances into the covert near. For she might be lurking there, and this prodigal wooer had plenty of smiles to waste upon the mere hope of their reception.
 But when the wagon was in yeadi- ness, and still Lavender did not ap- pear, he was alarmed, and searched thoroughly the woods near. He called, and. the dread now growing upon him, echoed in his voice, bring ing up the few stragglers yet idling about.
 Has anybody seen Miss Creigh- toni" he demanded, and the question was repeated from mouth to mouth.
 At last one verdant youth remarked iazily that he had seen an Indian help her out of the wagon.
 Indian" The very name was ffsusht with manifold terrors, and a panic seized them all.
 But this was quickly allayed when the youth explained that the Indian was the Osage, the guide and serv- ant of the new teacher, Mir Winslow. They all knew Owatosa, and knew. too, that both he and his master were friends of the creightonS

 It was all so, then, even as the oc- toroon had said: "The white maid will be safe with Owatoga."

Hurley Peterson. the young negro
arrested day before yesterday On a
warrant charging him with the lar
ceny Of various articles of clothing
from the residence OF Mrs. r. B. Dunn,
on North Second street, was tried yes
terday at noon before Justice of the
Peace John J. Furlong. The property
that had been stolen was in the court
room and was positively identified BY
the owners. several young men who
board with Mrs Dunn. The negro
was tried on five counts and after
hearing the evidence the justice bound
him over to the next term Of the s..
preme court, under a bond of S1O0 in
each case. In default OF the amount
he was committed TO the county Jail.
The culprit with the greatest sang
froid imaginable walked into the court
room attlred from head to foot in gar
ments he had purloined from the
young men. They of course allowed
the gentleman of color TO retain the
clothes. A second visit was paid to
the negro's room yesterday by a
deputy which resulted in the finding
OF many other articles he had taken.
The total value Of the stolen goods,
which consisted almost entirely Of
mems clothing. amounted to about
$40. Neither the prosecution nor the
defence were represented by counsel.

Mr.. K. G. ". Tiencken Knocked
Down by Horse-Accident Occurred
ut Fourth II Castle Street>-Dr.
Russell Rendered Medical Attention.

Mr.. G. G. W. Tiencken. who con
ducts a grocery store at the corner of
Fourth and Castle streets had an al
most miraculous escape yesterday
morning from q violent death. Mr..
Tiencken was placing some provisions
in Il of his delivery wagons which
stood in front of his establishment
when the horse became frightened al
a street car and bolted. Mr.. Tiencken
pursued the horse which was not rum
ming rapidly and made an ATTEMPT to
grasp the bride. The horse reared
and in falling knocked down Mr..
Tlencken. B~yStandeTS rescued him
from his perilous position before the
horse could trample upon him and he
was carried into his home nearby.
DR.. Russell was Immediately summon
ed and after rendering the necessary
medical attention and making a care
full examination declared that Mr..
Tiencken had suffered no material in
jury. the only visible effects being two
severe scalp wounds. Mr.

terrible accident resulted in compar-
small injury to Mr.. Tiencken.

Henry Scott, the arch fend OF n
three conspirators now confined in New
Hanover county Jail under sentence Of
death, will go 10 the scaffold Frldav
morning, July 9Th. The other TWO pris-
oners, Adams and Sawyer, who we're
recently sentenced by Judge Thomas
K. Purnell at a special term Of he
United States district court. called es-
peclally for the purpose, will be exc
cuted on August Il.
There is great uncertainty in the
minds of many as to the guilt Of Ina
last named prisoners and the only thing
now that a save their lives is a S
slble confession from Scott exoneratlng
them from participation in the norri-
bic affair for which they stand con
victed.
United States Marshal Dockery, who
will have charge Of the execution Of
Scott and who will spring the Trap
that sends SCOTS soul into the pres
ence of his Maker expects to arrive in
the city from Raleigh on July Atm to
arrange all the preliminaries connect
ed with the fulfillment of the sentence
imposed by law. The hour for the ex-
ecution will be ten o'clock in the
morning in all probability. The law
requires that there he not less than Is
o more than Sc witnesses, and this
mandate will. of course. be compiled
with. Hundreds of applications for
permits to view the gruesOme spectacle
have been received from curious per
sons consumed with the desire to see
a fellOWman uShered from life into
eternity, but it is hardly necessary 20
state that these will most certainly not
be granted. The party in attendance
upon the execution in all probability
will consist only of officers of the law,
members Of the legal profession, news
paper representatives, and several
other persons to whom permission will
be granted. The rope to be used at the
execution is n that has been used
several times before in Wake county.
It will be thoroughly tested so that
there may be no possibility of its CIV
ing way.
Scott seemed to give little heed to
the fact tina he has only a few days
more of life. His long confinement has
not affected him in the least, for he
to be a perfect specimen of ply
steal manhood and to be in the best of
health. He is 80 years Of age and has
a wife living in Philadelphia. He is
about 5 feet, 10 inches in height, and
weighs about 165 pounds. The wife
who corresponds frequently with her
condemned husband has expressed 40
desire to have the body shipped north
and therefore the order of the court
directing that the body be turned over
to the medical department Of the Uni
versity of North Carolina for scientific
purposes will be complied with.
There is a possibility that Scott may
make some statement before the hour
for his execution arrives which will
shed light on what now is one of the
foulest and most carefully concealed
crimes ever committed on the hign
seas.

Continuing Mr.. Taylor traced the de-

executive, legislative and judicial de-
partments. II congress has the privi-

He showed the absolute inconsistent
cy of the policy pursued by congress in
making a comparison of several laws
passed by congress all contradictory 20
each other.
The above is merely an outline OF
the mastery speech of Mr.. Taylor. He
spoke for an hour and held the atten-
ion and interest Of his auditors dur
ing that time. Mr.. Taylor will leave

A letter was read from MaXy L. John

FIGHT SCANDAL
IN PROGRESS
NOTHING NEW HAS DEVELOPED
WHAT BILLY WOODS THINKS
ABOUT IT.

The fight scandal is still being dis
cussed about town by the fans but
nothing new has developed. The mat
ter will probably die a natural death
in the near future.
1t is surprising to note how many
friends that Sullivan has about town
and how they are defending him say
ing that they do not believe the boy
was crooked and utterly refused to
believe the statements made by
O'Meara.
Billy Woods had the following to
say about the affair:
Il have to say that l have follow
ed the fighting game for twenty years
and this is the first time that crooked
ness in any manner has been attribut-
ed to me.
My record here and elsewhere stands
out plain and straightforward before
the sporting world and 1 take it that
something more than the vicious vapor-
ings of a self confessed attempted black
mailer is needed to convince the public
that in a matter so paltry in financial
way l would think for a moment OF
giving any man alive the opportunity
of catching me i'm a dirty trick
"O'Meara has made a statement
which l declare to be absolutely and
maliciously false and made out Of
whole cloth"

JAP DENIES HAVING

closer in with the steamer in order
to pull. From where we lay we could
have done nothing.
GAS a result of the soundings
found that we could approach within
600 yards of the Mongolia. Then the
officer returned and we decided to
move in and make the pull.
'The Mongolia had a piece of seven
inch wire hawser 800 feet long and we
had a 6OO-foot piece of five-inch wire.
1t was arranged that the Mongolia was
to send out their line and VS. were to
connect with it by doubling our wire
and by adding a piece of siX-inch
hemp. This was the plan. The inten-
ton was to swing the Mongolia sound
until the wire hawsers were long
enough, then to pull directly on this.
It was dark by the time that this ar
rangement was completed and danger
Gus for us to stay in so close, so we
buoyed the end of our cable with TIM
bers and stood out.
cat dawn we came back to pick up
the buoy. We approached within 500
yards of the Mongolia and anchored,
but in looking for our bdoy we found
that 1t had broken away and that our
cable had sunk. We resolved to Crap
pie for it, and after a great deal OF
trouble it was picked up. In the mean
time we had tried to raise it from the
end that was attached to the Mongo-
las hawser, but found it fouled at
that end We commenced to raise II
from the other end, raised by our grap2
pie, and had taken it all up to nearly
the second section when it parted.
Now what could we do? We had nc
more tackle. We might have found
the end again and succeeded in getting
it, but this would probably have meant
two or three days work. Certainly we
could not have done anything until the
next day.
"In the meantime our officers from
