N. C.,, TUESDAY, SURPUABY Bub:
"KILLED BY A TRAMP.
Dodd, of the Seaboard Air
Line Shot and Instantly Killed by
a Negro Tramp.
The following we clip from the Wil-
xx | mington Messenger, sent that paper by
and gives the full perticulars :
Engineer M. M. Dodd, of the Sea-
board Air Line, was shot and instantly
killed by Henry Dowden, a worthless
n2gro, here Saturday morning.
Coroner Gary was notified and sum.
moned a jury of inquest.
Dowden was arrested and brouglit
into court. The first witness was ole
fireman of the engine. He said he saw
the prisoner get tpou the engin. and
ordered him off. ~The engineer then
took him by the arm and put him off
easily. In getting off he dropped his
hat and asked if some one would hold a
light for him to get it. Engineer Dodd
| held up his lantern and as he did so the
negro shot him. ~Che ball entered un-
der the lett nipple and Mr. Dood fell
from his cab dead.
The Pullman porter saw the prisoner
stealing a ride on the Pullman car; he
was made to get off.
Officer Roberts, who made the ar-
rest, said the prisoner said: oI have
no pistol,� and when Roberts searched
kim, he then said: oYes, I have a
pistol, but itTs empty.� The pistol
was 38 calibre, and had one empty
shell, which smelled as if it had been
recently shot. Dowden then said :
oJf had listened to my daddy last
night I would not have been in La
trouble.�
Dowden then made a statement, af-
ter being cautioned by Solicitor Daniel:
He said he lett Raleigh last night. His
daddy told him to wait until to-day.
le stole a rideon the Pullman car.
|He did not remember anything else:
did not get on the engine; did net re
member shooting the pistol; he saw
{the engineer after he was killed; he
remembered that, but did not remember
being arrested. He had a remarkable
memory for not remembering things.

~The fireman on the engine remem-
béred that the man put off the engine
had a teapot charm on his watch chain ;
the chain taken from prisoner was rec-
ognized by the fireman.
Drs. O. R. Zollicoffer and J. E.
Green made an autopsy and found that
the ball entered Mr. DoddTs heart. The
ball fits the empty shell and the evi-
dence is complete.
The coronerTs jury after hearing all
the evidence returned a verdict that
Engmeer M. M. Dodd came to his
death by a pistol shot ball fired bya
pistol in the hands of Henry Dowden.
Dowden was committed to jail to
await trial at Judge MearesTs court in
this county next week.

GOOD WISHES FROM A PITT BOY.
New OrLEAns, "La. FebTy 22, T96.
Epitor Reriector."I noticed
from the columns of your live paper
the destructive fire which laid waste
so many beautiful buildings in Green-
ville, and I regret exceedingly the loss
which the merchants sustained from
same ; however, with the pluck and en-
ergy which the Greenville people pos-|
sess, I am sure they will soon rebuild
the burned district with beautiful mod-
ern structures. It is indeed a scurce
of much pleasure to a North Caroli-
nian to see from the columns of the
Rersector the wonderful growth
which Greenville has assumed in the
last few years. After a lapse of five
years, on my visit to your town last
summer, I must say that the growth of
Greenville was so great that I could
thardly realize that I was in Greenville,

which shows very clearly that her bus-

and energy to make the town oe

Carolina, and while great conflagrations
are always to be regretted, yet it is a
matter of fact that more beautiful
structures always take the place of
burned ones in alive city. The same,
I predict for Greenville. I notice also
that you all, in North Carolina, are in
the midst of a big snow storm, while
we, in New Orleans, are having real
summer weather. Our Carnival
which has just passed has been one of
the most beautiful that New Orleans
has had for many years. The city
was crowded with people, and every
one had words of praise for the grand
parades our lovely weather.

The Lumberton Robersonian
says close observers estimate that
it will take 4,000 bales of cotton at
5 cents per pound to pay for the
stock of f fertilizers and additional
labor bought and hired by the
farmers within the trade of Max-
ton this year. It expresses the
belief that what the farmers of
that neighborhood are trying to
do, the others are trying to do
throughout the cotton section,
and that four cent cotton is in
the coming breezes. Wether a.
large crop or a small crop is
planted, and whether the prices

Why Feed Jail Birds in Idleness? .
As our readers well know we do not
believe that convicts, whatever their of-
fenee, should be housed and fed at the
expense of the public, whether in the
State penitentiary, in the county jails,
orin the city station houses. Provis-
jon is made tor the employment of the
latter in some shape or other, but as a
rule the other two classes escape work,
although there is one source of employ-
ment always open for them, and that is
the work on the streets and roads.
_ The sentiment already is in favor of
thus employing convicts and the senti-
mert 1s growing stronger. Numbers
ot papers advocate the measure and we
do not know of any that oppose. The
Rockingham Rocket declares it is sim-
ply outrageous that the prisoners in our
juils are allowed to lay up there in lux. |
Urious idleness when our roads are
in such bad condition.
To the majority of these jail birds it
is no punishment to be confined in a
comfortable building like. the county
jail and to eat such food as is given
them there. But establish 4 chain-
gang and weT will haveT better kept
roads and less crime, and this at no
greater expense than at present."New
