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 “le 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: “I have no pistol,” and when Roberts searched kim, he then said: “Yes, I have a pistol, but it’s empty.” The pistol was 38 calibre, and had one empty shell, which smelled as if it had been recently shot. Dowden then said : “Jf 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. ‘gTqtssod sv Ay«1Ba IO} Op WB [ 7BYM 9OS puV eouvinsul 3, 1809 MOTIQ S9OTId 7B 49H IIB MOI} MOU T[[IM JT pus aggre ©0 Rea Shik we 4 - 4 a Tueda ae Let SIV JUBM O SBVULBP SBM BY} 3904S ‘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.

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, i THE KING A BIG CATCH! my store for just abot e eleventeenmen and wo-- men. aged some of my stock and I will take any price you offer me in reason. sists of © ‘SHOES.

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 we’ will have’ better kept roads and less crime, and this at no greater expense than at present.—New Berne Journal, : bride to her husband longer if she would continue making company of -him.
