The following in regard to the
detection of John Boyd as the per-
son who wrecked the train at
bridge last summer, is taken
from the Charlotte Hater.
The case against John Boyd as
related to the last night is as

men on train when it went

that they said they could identify
him if ever again they laid eyes on

had called for help in the wreck,
and received such a brutal reply,

taken to the jail and showed into a

The Richmond ft Rail
Road Company, it is said, has at
last found the wrecker of the train
at Bridge in last August.
Soon after the occurrence they
offered a reward of ten thousand
dollars for the apprehension and
conviction of the guilty party.
Their theory at the time was that
the train was wrecked. Many
have never yet believed this.
They attribute the to the
rotten track Ac Suits to the
amount of at least one hundred
thousand dollars have since that
time been entered against the
railroad for damages. It is
therefore exceedingly important
that if the train was wrecked, the
guilty person should be found and
convicted before these suits came
off. One or two parties were
rested during the fall on suspicion
their guilt could not be
A detective in Georgia by
the name of Haney, it seems, has
been constantly at work to
the criminal. It is said that
he has at last succeeded in finding
a man who has confessed the deed.
Some time ago a named
Jim Boyd was arrested in Char-
for the theft of a cow and
lodged in jail- Since he was in-
he confessed to a
spy who was put in jail with him
that he committed the crime. The
Sheriff, a shorthand writer and
detective Haney were concealed
and heard the confession.
It is now reported that two men
who were in the wreck have been
to Charlotte and identified this
as the one they saw on the
night of the wreck with a knife in
his hand going through the train
committing robbery. The
seems to be conclusive
against the if the case can be
relied upon. If he is guilty he
should suffer the full penalty of the
law. aid that speedily. If the
train was wrecked it was a fiendish
crime and no punishment could be
too cruel or too severe. There are
some things stated now, however,
which did not appear before the
Coroner's jury the see-
by two of the passengers a
with knife in hand robbing
the dead. A case ought not to be
manufactured against a man no
matter how hardened a criminal he
may, be and he made to suffer the
penalty of the law simply to act as
evidence in saving the rail road
from the prospect of paying large
sums of money for damages. Ten
thousand dollars shrewdly used
might procure evidence that would
be sufficient to convict an
cent man-
Confessions sometime reported
to have been gotten by paid spies
as this seems to have been
who secured this one, need to be
backed up by other evidence to
make them sufficient to convict for
crime- If all the circumstances
in reference to the guilt of Jim
Boyd are true it is hardly probable
that he will escape just punish-
as many Offenders do in these
latter days- We publish a detail
ed account of this confession and
On last Saturday Miss Vallie E.
Weathers was brought here and
put in jail, to await her trial at
our next court Our readers will
remember the account of her sen-
elopement with Dr. John
S- Stone, who deserted his wife
and thirteen children. Their place
of refuge was recently discovered
to be in Pitt county, and when
they learned that their whereabouts
had been discovered they
from Pitt county and were
reported as being near their former
homes, in this county. A warrant
for their arrest was issued on the
complaint of a son of Dr. Stone,
and Miss Weathers was arrested
last week, Dr. Stone has thus
far evaded arrest. Their return
and the arrest of Miss Weathers
caused a great sensation through-
out that section, and a very large
crowd attended, on last Saturday
the trial of Miss
ere held by Justices and
Utley. She was bound over to
court, and, in default of a bond,
was committed to jail. A vigorous
and diligent effort is made
to arrest Dr. Stone, and it is said
that he has threatened to shoot
his son who swore out the warrant
against him Pittsboro Record.
It was found out that both these
parties were at Ayden. this county-
living there together, and Sheriff,
Tucker had spotted so he
could arrest them easily. He
telegraphed to the Sheriff of Chat
ham county to know if the parties
were wanted there, and receiving
no answer he pursued the matter
further. When more than a
week had rolled around after the
telegram was sent he l a
letter from the Sheriff of Chatham
saying he had nothing there
against the parties. A few days
later, however, Sheriff fucker re-
a letter from a
in Chatham with a warrant for the
arrest of Dr. Stone. But the lapse
of ten days made it too late to
catch him, the parties having
received some intimation that
they were discovered and skipped.
DEAD.
Rev. Charles H. of
London, is dead. The greatest
preacher, of the world
has passed from earth to eternity.
A strong man in Israel has fallen.
For years and years the eyes of
the world have been upon him.
His sermons have been translated
into many languages and have
been more widely read and
than man who has lived
ft r ages. The Baptist
loses its greatest preacher,
and there is probably no one in
any denomination who can take
his place. Mr- was a
wonderful man in many respects.
His eloquence was not that of the
cultured and polished rhetorician,
in fact it was said to be homely
yet it was nevertheless not less
powerful. He was benevolent far
beyond his means- Many
institutions are left behind
him as monuments of his
No man ever had such a hold
on his people as Mr.
did- There was nothing they
could do for him which they would
not do- There was nothing that
he asked them to do which they
did not do. There was no
which he did not have from
the lowest to the greatest. He
remarked that he did
not deserve this, but any way it
was given him. Ho was never
sick more than a day or two that
Mr. Gladstone did not send
around regularly to see how he was
and the poorest member of his
congregation manifested a like in-
Besides his sermons he

He leaves two sons and one
daughter. Both of the sons
are preachers, one in England, and
the other a missionary in New
Zealand, and his married
a preacher. His wife, it is said,
was a great help to him in all of
his undertakings and like Mr.
Gladstone's his most frequent
counselor- The life of such a man
never dies- Eternity alone will
reveal the work of this great man.
The whole world mourns his loss.

COTTON MARKET is lower now than at any former period
in about forty years; this has been brought about by the
dented movement of the crop since September last, and the large
accumulation of cotton all over the world. Many believe we will
see an improvement in prices later on in the season, when the
movement must be necessarily light; if any of our friends,
who have cotton, would like to raise money on same and hold it
longer, we are prepared to advance them to per bale

First We have been rudely awakened

possibility in our modern world.
THE CRY OF WAR.
War is the blood fiend that has
pursued man from the dawn of history
down to yesterday. hearts
have cried in vain for respite. The
yawning mouths of cannon still clamor
for food There is no passion that
sweeps the human breast to which the
heart of man gives such wild response as
to the cry of war. There is a fury about
its hot breath that boils the blood as
though touched by the of hell
itself. It is curious and horrible to see
the abandon and enthusiasm which
men. even today, go about Killing their
brethren In sorrow we cry. How long.

lesson of peace and make it the supreme

FAT AND
a nation may grow weak
while it grows stout. That fat is one
thing, muscle another. We are the
richest nation on the globe. We have
money enough to of the
known world. In more than a

more to buy the Russian
and Turkish empires, the kingdoms of
Norway and Sweden. Denmark and
Italy, together with Australia, South
Africa and all South
mines, cities, palaces, factories, ships,
Hocks, herds, jewels, moneys, thrones,

paying for one-half the known world
we would have money enough left with
which to carve a new nation out of the
yet unexplored west. And yet coast
defenses are so weak that we tire alarmed

America. Our navy is still so weak that

which is the gratification of self, be the
chief end of life, then this life is vain.
Man is forever yearning and thirsting
for that which flees from him. There is
no surer way of losing life than to seek
life thus for itself. Life is a ceaseless

By that we heartily agree with
him.
A FIGHT.
a creed robs the record
of humanity of all glory and reduces
tho story of lie human race to the shift-
scenes of a miserable farce. It gives
to life a philosophy as debasing,
as degrading, as false as hell itself.
When f is erected into a standard,
mid happiness made the end, each
of necessity, becomes the
of his own standard of happiness. Tho
colonel would dig out in his brain a
in which he would allow winged
notes to to glory and reverberate in
the dome. But knew a young man
who declared that he had a very small
opinion of the music of an orchestra.
He honestly declared that ho would
prefer any day to sec a dog fight.
He said he would leave tho greatest
performance in tho world to
hear and witness a fight between two
curs. To his mind the howl and snarl
and growl of curs engaged in deadly
combat was the only music worthy of
the serious of tho world.

We had recently in England another of
those theater panics in one of the man-
cities. The alarm of fire was
given, and the crowded building was in-
thrown into an indescribable
panic. Women lilted their babies above

shrieking women, trampled them to
death and their babes to death in the
wild effort to save self. The gospel of

Let understand for all that if
this gospel lie made tho standard of
measurement for men you must strike
from the roll of human history every
name loved of man. There never has
been written on the pages of the world's
story tho name of a single man true to
the race who believed in a gospel.
The only reason we preserve the names
of men from the past is precisely because
they did not believe in this gospel. Every
martyr and hero in the world's history
has given the lie to this creed. The
reason why ho became a and a
hero was precisely he gave the
lie to such a creed. Every man who
died for the truth, chose death rather
than life, believed that there was a
higher gospel than the gospel of good
clothes and beefsteak. Tho man who
professes the gospel of the kitchen
does not belong to the procession
of the martyrs.
THE PIONEER.
The great pioneers who have blazed
the way through trackless wildernesses
Bar the hosts of civilization to follow
were men who did not believe in such a
gospel. If had believed in
this gospel the New World might have
been yet undiscovered. As his
ship fought its way across unknown
seas the crew of his ship did not live on
the best of porterhouse steak. In fact,
Columbus did not believe that the gos-
of good victuals was tho only gospel

Be did not believe in tho gospel of good
houses and clothe, he bravely
fought the waves and storms.
There were when he not only did
not enjoy good victuals, when star-
seemed to Blare the little band in
the face. And yet. In the prow of his
pioneer ship he strains his eye across
the waters and endures, seeing that
which is yet invisible. Through hunger
and want, privation, sacrifice, storm, he

good houses, the gospel of good victuals.
Our forefathers who landed on these
rocky shores and laid the foundations of
this nation laid them in hunger and
cold, in privation and want, and there-
fore today we have abundance.

THE STORY OF LOTS,
Every work of love wrought for tho
benefit of man was accomplished by men
who repudiated such a gospel. There
never was built a home for tho aged, a
refuge for weakness, a hospital for the
sick, a school for a child, a charity for
the helpless, save by those who were
willing to sacrifice their ease to the needs
of humanity. Tho man who
