No Clue as to Identity Of Mr.. Hyman's
Assassin or How the Shooting Was
Done.

1t is not only not known who fired
the murderous shot hat cut the life
thread of Acquilla P. LYMAN, it Is I'M
certain where the person was who fired
the shot.
The Hrst belief in Rocky Mount was
that it was fired from q passing train.
out there are very MANY who insist
that no. shot from q passing train
could have reached him, that near the
office on a spur track between the office
and the main railroad track was a
freight a that would have stopped the
ball; that above the Office window was
a wide shed, which with the car would
have protected Mr.. Hyman from any
one on top of the moving train.
On the window shaGe was a black
stain, fresh, taking the finger one could
rub it off, and those who tried it, assert
that the stain had the smell of powder.
The same night Of the killing, the
savings bank was broken into, but only
a pistol was taken. One theory. is that
this burglar failed at the bank, seeing
at 2 o'clock, Mr.. Hyman az work with
the safe open, shot him with the expec-
tation that the noise Of the train would
drown the report of the pistol, and the
safe could be quickly ri1ed, but it was
reckoning without ones host, and the
police arrived too promptly.
1t is said that the train which passed
at the time of the shooting, when with
in two miles Of Weldon, was brought
to a stop by someone cutting the air.
brake. There is probably no cOnnec-
ton between this and the Rock Mount
fatality, for if a shot was fired from
the train, the mar behind the gun could
not know that he had killed anyone,
and doubtless did not intend to, unless
he had been bent on robbery and being
frustrated boarded the tram which
passes through the town at a slow pace.
The fatal bullet was .3S calibre and
passed entirely through the body. II
Mr.. Hyman was in the position that the
police saw him, then who ever shot
was above his victim. but who knows
what position he was in when the shot
sped On its death dealing errand.-Tar-
bOro SOutherner.

A e Gospel.
The London Times corresp

e Inc London Times correspondent re-
ports the finding at Oxyrhynchus,
Egypt, in rubbish mounds, a large lot
of fra mentS Of manuscripts, OF the
first, second and later centuries, among
them IS lines of a lost Gospel. The
subject is a visit of Jesus to the temple
and the meeting with a Pharisee, who
r~eprOacheS him with failure to per
form the ceremonial of publication b.
fore entering that Holy place. There is
a dialogue in which the Pharisee goes
into the details Of ceremonies t. he
performed. Jesus, in reply, contrasts
outward with inward purity. The in
cident recalls the passages in Matthew
and Luke, but it is quite distinct from
anything recorded in the Gospels as
We now have them. The style is IIta1-
airy and cultivated, and the Dialogue
contains several words not found in tha
New Testament. Besides this fra--
ment Of a Gospel. there are fragments
of Pindar, EuripideS, Plato, Demos
themes. ~1sOcrates, LySiaS. Sappho, Bac-
chylides, Sallust, a history of Greece
and a commentary on Th~ucydideS.

The board of aldermen of Durham
has passed an ordinance prohibiting
the blowing Of locomotive whistles in
thai city. That is a good idea. There
is entirely too much blowing of whistles
Of all kinds in most of our towns. 1t
IS a matter which should be regulated,
Greensboro has for some time put a stop
TO this useless noise within her corpor-
ate limits. The ordinance there IS
strictly enforced. We have heard OF no
complaints by our citizens against the
railroads here. That IS pretty good
evidence thai the railroads in this city
do not make any more noise than is
absolutely necessary for the giving Of
signals.

THE SOCIETY OF JESUS.

Dispatches from Rome that
on Tuesday last the college Of the or
der of Jesus met in that city for the
purpose Of electing a general Of the So
ciety as successor to the late Father
Martin. The quadrivium, as it is call
ed, meets in secret session which lasts
for four days. During that time the
members of the order On whom devolve
the selection Of q new ruler, are entirely
cut off from the outside world. The
isolation on such occasions is more
complete than that Of the cardinals
when they meet to elect a pope. To the
latter meeting Iaymen Of certain call
ings are admitted, such as physicians.
druggists, etc; but in the quadrivium
all are JesuitS except those who do the

member Of the order. No member Of
the cOnclave is allowed to give to the
public any statement as to the proceed

The cOnclave VIII remain in session
until tomorrow. After its adjournment
the public will know who has been
chosen as the head Of the order and
that is all it will ever find out about
the four days proceedings.
The Society OF Jesus was organized
in 1884 by LOyOIa, a Roman Catholic
priest, then a student in the university
of Paris. He was a Spanish soldier
who when severely wounded in battle

to work for conversion of infidels and to
cOunteract the spread of Professionalism.
From that day to the present time this
society has continued to STOW and to
extend its influence. We suppose it is
today one of the most powerful and in
fluential church societies in existence.
notwithstanding that there has been
much opposition to it In times past,

and from without. The order has been
twice expelled from France and once
from Spain and also from other cOun-
tries. 1t was suppressed by Pope Gle
ment XIV in 1873, but was revived in
1914. To become a priest in this order
requires sixteen years Of preparation
and study. In past years some OF the
foremost men of the world ave been
leading spirits in this church Organiza-
ton which at times has with success
defied kings and emperOrs, and even the
pope of Rome. There was a time
when the head Of this society was more
powerful than the acknowledged heaC
of the church to which that society
paid Cstensiblc allegiance. For a Ions
time there was bitter enmity between
the See Of Rome and the Society o

HIS LEG BROKEN.
Boy From Starbuck Suffers Painful
Injury in Runaway.

Glenn Mitchell, the Starbuck school
boy, who was injured in a runaway
accident Saturday afternoon, was
brought to st. Marys hospital yester-
day and had mis- fractured leg set.
Young Mitchell was driving on a
grade near the railroad track shortly
after 1 o'clock when his team became
frightened at the passing passenger
train and became unmanageable. After
tearing along for 100 yeards, they ran
into a bank and tipped Mitchell and a
companion into the road, after which
they broke loose from the buggy and
ran for several miles.
The man with Mitchell was not iurt
but the latter, upon taking invoice Of
himself, found his left leg was broken
just above the ankle. AS soon as pos
sible he was brought to this city for
surgical treatment.
