Live Hogs Sell for SO 40 in the Chicago

Chicago, Feb. f7.-Live hogs at the
stock yards today touched a record
price, unequaled since 1870, selling at
$40 a hundred weight.
Continued light receipts for several
months at the packing centers and re-
ports of scarcity of hogs on the farms
called out prophecies that the SO
mark touched in 1870 may be reached

Until today the record hog price for
40 years was 1895, made in 1882.

Fire Saturday Afternoon.

Fire broke out in the cleaning and
pressing rooms OF j. K. Pratt, next to
Dorsey's drug store on Main street,
Saturday afternoon completely gut
ting that part Of the building and
burning up everything in it. Pratt
lost all his furniture and fixtures and
quite number of persons lost from
Il pair Of trousers to two and three
suits OF clothes. Several hundred
dollars worth of goods were burned
one man alone putting his loss at
$3.50 He was visitor and had ar
rived but few days before with three
or four nice suits packed in his trunk.
He wanted them pressed and while he
was about it he sent I'll 9 whole lot
along at one time. Hence his great
er loss.
How the fire originated is not known
but it is supposed to have caught
from the stove on which the irons we're
heated. Pratt and his wife were at
work in the front room, up stairs,
and when the fire was Dissolved every
thing back of them was in a light
blaze and escape through the only
door and down the steps was COM
pletely cut off The alarm was given
and when they could stay no longer
escape through the windows was at
tempted both swinging themselves
down and holding on to the window
sill. Before help reached her the wo-
man tainted or her strength failed
and she fell striking on the stone steps
below. She was badly shaken up and
bruised by the fall and her thigh was
broken in two places. Pratt was able
to hold on until a step ladder was
pushed up to him and he was let down
in safety. 1t was a narrow escape for
both and much sympathy is felt for
them.
Pratt and his wife are among the
most worthy and respected represent
atives Of the colOred race in Hender-
son. And they are two of the most in
dustrious and hardworking. Attend
ing strictly to business, polite and re-
spectful, they have built up u good
patronage and served their cust toners
with entire satisfaction. The fire and
it's attendant misfortune falls heavily
upon them but the people of Hender-
son will not let a worthy person SUI
fer and Pratt will establish himself in
business again and recover from his
loss. His greatest concern a. present
is for his wife, who DR.. Pendleton in
forms US is getting on as well as could
be expected.

Rev. E. E Newman to Leave.

We learn that Rev. C. E. Newman will
retire from the work at Henderson, n. c.,
at the end OF the present conference year
This will leave a vacancy in the pastor
ate of Henderson, Liberty and Fuller
churches, one of the most important
pastorates in the Eastern n c. Conference
We sincerely trust that good man will
be secured for the field as Henderson
is a new and very promising work and
Liberty near by is one of our oldest and
best country churches. Fullers though
small in membership is also a live and
active church. We have not learned as
to Bro. Newman's plans. He is one of
our best preachers and most beloved pas
tors, and the field that secures his ser
vices may count itself fortunate and hap
Ply indeed Bro. Newman's address is

The above will be learned with re-
greet. Mr. Newman has a great many
friends in Henderson and the terri
tory surrounding who will deeply
regret his removal from among u.s.
He is a good man and most excellent
citizen, beloved as preacher and pas
tor by his people and others, and his
departure will be a loss to the COM
munity.

Case Against e. e. Powell for Hurder

PENDANT Submits TO Plea of Murder
In Second Degree and Is Given Linn.

The trial of f. E. Powell for the
murder OF Chief of Police Charles ".
Dunn, OF Scotland Neck, at which time
State Senator Z. L. Travis and Rep
resentative Paul kitchin, were also
dangerously wounded by Powell, was
begun at Warrenton Monday. There
was little difficulty in selecting a jury
this being done within little more
than two hours time. 1t will be re-
called that Powell was arraigned at
the March term OF Halifax court and
a removal was granted, after the
special venire of $50 had been ex-
hausted. Warren court was chosen
as the place for the trial and the case
was set for the 9th, the second week
OF the term. The defense will be in
sanity. Former Governor Aycock of
the law firm OF Aycock & Winston,
Raleigh, and Gay and Midyette of the
Northampton bar, represent the de-
fendant. Ex-Judge r. W Winston
Is not present to take an active part
with Mr.. Aycock.

POWELL GETS 30 YEARS.
Tuesday one of the jurors-Juror
Hicks-was taken sick and it looked
like there would be mistrial with
drawing of a juror and continuance
OF the case. In view of this possible
outcome there was suggestion on both
sides - defense and prosecution-to
agree upon a compromise. Wednes-
day morning a plea of murder in the
second degree was entered and ac-
cepted and Judge Ward gave Powell
q sentence of 30 years, the full limit
of the law, in the States prison. This
is virtually a life sentence and maybe
the ends OF justice have been met how
ever much the aged murderer may
have deserved the hangman's moose
or the electric chair.
When this disposition of the case
was announced to the court Judge
Ward stated that he approved the ac-
ton of counsel saying that it was his
opinion that the jury would not take
to plea of insanity advanced by the
defense and acquit the prisoner, and
that while there was some evidence OF
generalization and elaboration, he
had no idea that a verdict of murder
in the first degree would have been
secured.
A proposition to settle the matter
on plea of second degree murder
| came from the defense at the March
term of Halifax court, when the case
was removed to Warren county for
trial, but this not acceptable to the
State.
