IN NORTH CAROLINA, Matters Of Interest Over the State. Bertie county is for free silver. _ Tarboro, it seems, will soon have an- other cotton factory.

Eleven inmates of the Rowan county Home for the Aged and Infirm are over 75 years old and five are over 85 years. Last week H. C. Patton, of Ashe- ville, a prominent merchant, was fouud drowned in a small pond at that place. ; A horse thief, named Thomas, was caught with a stolen horse in Burke count and placed in the Morganton jail. At a revival conducted by Evange- list Weston R. Gales, at Rocky Mount, there have been about one hundred ac- cessions to the clrurch. John Davis, of Alexander county, struck Arthur Rebber, of the same county, on the head with a jug of brandy from the effects of which he died. Dave Lane—The Mail Robber. For six montns or more a systema- tic robbery of the mails sent to and from Blackwell’s Durham ‘Tobacco Co. has been going on. The matter was reported to the Postoffice department and detectives have been on the alert. Thorough investigation will always trace these thefts to the Durham post- office, and on this account suspicion rested upon the force in that office. Finally, Gregory and Dexter, two detectives, who had the matter in the rascal. A ce lored man named Dave Lane was employed at the facto- ry and it was his duty to deliver mail at the office and receive mail and take it to the factory. He did not handle all the mail, but only that sent to and from the coupon department. And the robberies were confined to the mails from this department. Some days ago one of the detectives went to Greens boro and mailed tv:o or three packages to the coupon department with money enclosed. They were bills and marked. He saw the packages put in the pouch at Greensboro, followed the pouch and saw it safely delivered to the mail agent, went in the mail car and saw the package unmolested putin the pouch for delivery to the Darham _ office. The man who carries the mail from the railroad statlon to the postoflice was closely shadowed. When the mail was taken to the office one of the detectives kept watch at the front door, the other at the rear. Dave Lane went in and got the mail, there being no one. in the office at the time but Mr. Jenkius, the delivery clerk. When Lane left the office for the factory he -| was closely shadowed and it was ob- served that he could not have tampered with the packages on the way. When the mail was handed! inat | the faetory office the letters had been broken and the money gone. Lang, was arrested and the money found in his pockets, When heggot they mornings mail, there was no fist, we. “ ‘Mr. Jen kink ladd ‘it is-thouglis ‘the. packages were: opened, in. the. postoffice,—-Dur- ham correspondent to Raleigh News and Observer. ge 4 charge, devised a scheme that caught i a ——— — A Beecher on Trial for Forgery. One son of Henry Ward Beecher is on triat for forgery and his brother is council for him. They do not look in the leust alike, nor does either resemble the distinguished father. The procerdings are before Justice Fursman, in the criminal branch of the Supreme Court, and they are like a | prosy civel trial in which there is a tan- gle of wall street affairs. Henry B. Beecher was the senior partner of Beeeher, Schenck & Co. It was brought out that Beecher, Schenck & Co. were the agents for the American Security and Casualty C om- pany, of Baltimore, of which W. E. Midgeley, ene of the partners of Beecher, Schenck & Co., was president. Beecher, Schenck & Co. were the gen- eral agents of the company and were to receive 35 per cent. of the premium. The specific act for which H. B- Beecher was indicted was forging the corporate name of F. B. Bond, vice- president of the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul railway. By means of clerks, bood-keepers and heads of de- partments it was shown that Mr Beech- erin 1893, had handed Manager Burke, of the railroal department two applications for policies purporting to be signed by Bond. One policy was for $500,000; the other for $250,000.and the amount of commission due Beecher, Schenck & Co. on them would have been $222,000. This amount was carried through on the books and brought into the annual report. Mr. Weeks said that the Cas- ualty Company declared a5 per cent ‘dividend on the basis business, although the polices had never been made out. Vice-president Bond was placed upon the witness-stand yesterday. He said he had never signed the applications for the policies. The signatures are “F. S. Bond, per A. S. B.” Mr. tsond said he knew-no onefwhose initials were “A. S. B.” and that he had never authoriz- ed the signing of the applications. In fact, he had never heard of tnem until recently. It was Mr. Wellman who brought out that Mr. Beecher knew how Mr Bond signed his name and that the sig- nature showed no suggestion of an at- tempt to imitate that of Mr. Bond.— New York World.

Post. a ~~ The Most Expensive of Governments. Congressman Joe Wheeler, of Ala- bama, recently called attention to the fact that we spend farsmore ‘no hey tor government than any other nation. The appropriations made by Con {gress at its session jist closed amount to $515,084,820. The last Federal census shows that in 1890 our State, county and municipal expenditares ag- gregated $569,252,634. These latter expenditures are undoubtedly much greater now than they were in .he cen- sus year and it is safe to say that our total expenditures for gov ernmental purposes durin the' present fiscal ’ year will far exdeed $1,000,000;000, No ofher government spends anything like so great a sum. Russia, which has a population cf over 100,000,000, spent last ydar but $885,005,996 ; France ia 1893. spent '$690,184,119; the United Kingdom , $469,592, 105, Pérhaps all ‘oval. ex- enditures are not included in phese fig, ures, but the expenses of the German’ Emmpite may withdut doubt, be fairly compared with those of our, Federal government.

In Mr. Dunn’s barn lot are a row of cow sta- bles, four in all. All were occupied when lightning struck the building last Saturday. Ihe cow in stall num cow in stall number three was killed, and the cow in stall number four was unhurt. The only explanation of this strange incideat is that the stalls are built at the fuot ofa targe tree. In the stables where the cows were killed the roots of the tree protrude, while in the other two stalls the roots are be- neath the surface.
