si | The Alarm Causes A Rush From The
Churches.
Early Sunday night a shanty on the
edge of town, near the Yellowley branch
caught on fire. Old man JimT Ward
and Lumas Peyton lived in the house
and Lumas had built a.big fire in the
rickety stove and left it. The.whole
roof of the shanty was in flames when
|discovered, but our firemen responded
promptly to the alar m and soon had the
fire extinguished. !
The alarm had a disorganizing effect
upon the churches which were in the
{midst of services at the time. Rev. H.
B. Anderson, who was to preach at the
Methodist church, had just announced
| his text and subject when ihe congre-
gation sprang up and rushed out, and
the service was notT completed. The
deacons at the Baptist churck were just
finishing up che collection when the
people run out and left them oholding
the bag.� After learning where the
fit Was and that it was only slight,
the congregation reassembled and Rev.
Mr. Wells preached his sermon. At
the Presdyterian church Rev. E. D.
Brown Was in the midst of his sermon.
A few. of the congreeatiou went out but
returned and the sermon was ,ompleted,

- POLICEMEN ARE PARDONED.
Gov. Carr Reverses the Sentence Pass-
ed by Judge Timberiake.
On the 29th day of last Februa-
: gy, at midnight, the store of A.C.
Mitchell, of Edenton, was broken
dato and robbed. A few minutes
_ gfter an entrance was affected,
@hariles J. Pratt, who was then
and still is a regular policeman
of Edenton, was informed of tie
fact. He was told that Neil Skin-
ger, anegro bully, was the guilty
party and had been recognized as
de went into the store. Thereupon
Pratt went in pursuit of Skinner,
- @ummoning John Harris. and
Wilham Leggett to help make
_ the arrest. They soon came up
~with Sk~uner aud informed him of
- heir purpose and the charge
againsthim. He violently resist
ed arrest, striking Pratt a terriffic
plow and severely biting Harris.
The fight was a desperate one
_. gnd the policemen had to severe-
Jy ciub Skinner before they were
able to take him intocustody or
prevent his further ibjaring them.
This incensed the negroes in
and around Edenton, and they
threatened to take the negro from
the authorities. A not was imm-
~ pent and Mayor Vann applied to
fhe Governor for as istence. A
Wiiitary company from Hiiza-
b-th City was vhereupon ordered
to Edenton to quiet the rioters.
~The officers who made the ar-
vost were then indicted for assault
and battery with deadly weapons
and were tried at the last (Sep-
tember) term of Chowan Supe-
vior court, Judge Timberlak» pre
siding. Greatly to the surprise
of everybody the facts were not
allowed to zo to the jury, but the
judge passed upon them, adjudg-
ed the defendants guilty and sen.
fenced them as follows: Pratt
fo imprisonnient in jail for 12
oouths, and Harris and Leggett
- fo imprisonment in jail for 6
* months.
It is said, though L cannot
» -youch for the truth of it, that be-
fore doing this Judge Timberlake
offered to passa very light seu-
fence un the defendants if they
would pay the negro arrested a
certiin sum of money. This, I
am informed, they refused to do.
- The whole community was in-
dignant at the result of the trial.
Judge Timberlake was severely
criticised. A petition was at once
gotten up and signed by all the
yest citizens of that section and
y was raised by popular
abscription to pay the expenses
yyers to come to Raleigh and
iy the facts in the case before
Governor Carr, Messrs. \V. H.
Bond and J. N. Pruden came. In

stances, human beings do not
exactly measure their acts they
ought not to be too severely con-
demned. Innocent men are not
apttyv resist an officer of the
law and it was a very natural con
clusion to arrive at, that the more
uesperate the resistance the more
certain were they that they had

they knew it. In my opinion, it
would be little less than a public
calamity for these men, who
thought they were doing their

have been censured and punish-

man, should) suffer bumiliating
punishment aud the alleed
telon go free, under she direction
of the court. The crime of resis-
ting an officer in the discharge of
his duty 18 much too frequent.
A complete pardon is hereby
granted the three officers."Kal-
eigh News and Observer.
Such a course as Judge Timber-
lake pursued shows that the peo-
pie should be careful as to the
kind of men. they choose to pre-
side over our courts. Things
are coming to a pretty pass wher
an officer is punished tor per,
forming his duty. It is fortunate
for these officers that the Siate
has a good Governor whe prompv-
ly and fully pardoned them. We
fear if Governor-elect Russell had
been in the executive chair these
men would have served out the
unjust sentence imposed upon
them by Judge Timberlake.
A Strange Case.
An accident, remarkable in its
details and results vuccurred re-
cently at South Boston. A num-
ber of colored boys were playing
base bail and were using one of

some way or other one of the ne-
groes who was atthe bat strack

piece of wood buried itself in the
