Death Of W.iB. Lilly.

Mr.. w. B. Lilly, a student at
Trinity College, and a member of
the sophomore class, died at the
Watts hospital this morning be-
tween six and seven o'clock.
Mr.. Lilly was taken sick with la
grippe about a week ago, but was
not considered. seriously i'll till
Sunday when his case developed
into pneumonia. Since that time
until his death his friends have
been most deeply concerned con-
corning his condition. The re-
mains were taken to Albemarle
this morning accompanied by his
father, two brothers and a num-
Der of students representing the
various college organizations
with which Mr.. Lilly was con-
nected.
A deep gloom is over the en-
tire college community. Mr..
Lilly was a strong, we'll develop
ed man in every sense of the
word. He was a member of the
Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. He he'd the love and es-
TEEN of the whole college, and
was considered one of the most
popular students of Trinity.
Several members of his fra
ternity, the president of his class,
the president of the Columbian
Literary Society, a member of
the faculty, and one of 1.-THE bas-
ket ball players accompanied the
remains to Albemarle where the
funeral services will take place
tomorrow. About two hundred
students and members of the
faculty were at the station this
morning and accompanied the
body to the train. All college
activities were suspended till
eleven o'clock.

Successful Bank Robbery.

Hickory, Feb. 16. What was
equal to a Western scene was the
bold robbery of the bank at
Granite Falls, a town of several
hundred inhabitants, of the C.
& N. w. Railway, about six
miles of Hickory, at 6 o'clock
last night, when Cashier W. G.
Whisnant was held up at the
point of guns by three masked
bandits, who took from the CASH
ier's desk $2,70O, after which
locking him in the vault and
making good their escape. So
far it is not known from whence
they came or whittier they went,
but they were evidently profess
SIGNALS, have looked the situation
over before the daring deed and
learned the customs of the bank,
one of which was keeping open
Saturday evenings for the ac-
comodation of the shop element,
Saturday being pay day.
The alarm was not given until
this morning, when the where
abouts Of Cashier Wihsnant was
sought after by his home people
when he failed to turn up at the
breakfast hour. The search was
begun and on entering the bank
the cashier was heard in the
vault trying to give the alarm,
having survived through the
night owing to a small yentila-
ton in the vault. One of the
bank Officers about town, who
was familiar with the combina-
ton lock, was secured as seen as
possible and Winshant given his
freedom.
While the loss is quite an item
to the small bank of $40. 900 cap
ital, it will not in the least affect
its financiall standing as. aside
from all the stockholders being
men of means, the institution is
associated with other banks
which have large capital.
Just what reward will be Of
fered for the capture of the gang
will not be known until the meet
ing Of the directors tomorrow,
but every effort will be made to
run down the guilty parties. The
occurrence has already been tele-
phoned TO the neighboringtowns,
In order that the bandits may be
intercepted before leaving this
part of the State. The bank of.
icials had for its protection
5000 burglar insurance, the
company of which doubtless will
take a hand in capturing the
thieves.
The nearby occurrence has
brought about much comment as

LEMOINE DIAMONDS"

The LemOine diamond case came 10 8
sensational ending with an unexpected
climax in Paris yesterday afternoon.
Lemoine has fed, and his famous form
uls for the manufacture OF diamonds is
a ptsstic farce. Henry Lemoine was
taken into custOdsy few months sgo
on the charge OF having secured money
from Julius Wtrnher, the English dis-
mond merchant, on false prstenses.
Lemoine claimed he could manufac-
ture diamonds, aud it is alleged that on
this representation he secured q large
sum of money from Mr.. Wernher Le-
moiue was released to give him an op-
portunity to vindicsts himself by ex-
hibiting stones of his own manufacture.
When the case was called 10 Paris yes
terday, Lemoine did net appear, and II
was announced that he had fed.
10 the presence of Wernher the court
opened the envelope said to cor tain Le'
moine's formula. The paper inside was
read, bat it contained only jumble Of
isnt sstic and senseless phrases.

THREE ITALIANS KILLED.


Following series Of crimes att ibuted
t. &C called "Blsck Hand societies in
the Italian quarter Of New OrleauS,
one of he worst tragedies yet connected
With thst section took place early yes
erisy, when three Italians wers shot
II death.
According to the police these men
were killed as result Of an attempt to
extort money from PietrO Gioacona, q
wealthy Italian wine merchant, Of
New Orleans. Gioscona and his son
told the police that these men had fire.
uueptly bought wine from them by the
barrel and hsd invariably refused to pay
for it.
According to their story the three
forced them to ship barrel of wins 10
a point in Louisiana Tuesday, and r-
turned early yesterday and ordered
them to prepare a meal. The elder
Gioacona suspected thst trouble would
ensue, and hid repeating rife near
the table. When one of the visiting
Italians drew a heavy revolver and
ordered them to produce money and
vsluables, the elder Gioscona answered
with a shot from the rifle. The man
he fired at fell dead and the other two
attempted to escape. One WIS killed
before he had gotten 10 feet from the
table. The other reached staircase,
only to receive bullet in his brain.
He started down the steps, his body fall
ing into the courtyard below.
Only one of the Italians who WAS
killed has been ident fed. He is known
ID the police by the name Of Barrieca.
Yesterday another Italian, badly
wounded was found in shed nesr the
Gioscona home. He was identified as
one of those who had attended GiOacons's
fess', the only one who escaped with his
life. His wound is dangerous.
The police ssked GioscOns if, in des-
peration, after numerous "Blsck Hand
schemes had been practiced on him, he
had not invited the Italians ID his home
for the purpose of squaring accounts.
This GioscOns stouty denied, saying he
hsd no intention of firing on his guess
until it became nece sssry for him ID pro-
tect his home.
Gioscona is regarded as one Of the
wealthiest Italians in the south. His
home, where the shooting occurred, was
occupied by General Beauregsrd when
that section was the most fashionable of
the old French quarters, and is one of
the most historic spots in New Orleans.
