Early Sunday night a shanty on the edge of town, near the Yellowley branch caught on fire. Old man Jim’ 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 not’ completed. The deacons at the Baptist churck were just finishing up che collection when the people run out and left them “holding 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, Pension Warrants.

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 sddition to this many personal 8 wore written to the (tover- etting forth the reasons why née of the Sart ought fs (oo fis _|8upposed criminal.

Competent medical examination tailed’ to corroborate his deelaration. But had they used’ more force than was necessary, there was much to excuse them. A stare had just been brokeu into, as sey- eral had recently before. Pratt, the policeman, gas informed that that the prosecutor was the guilty When caught he desperately re- sisted arrest and fought the offi- cer, who calied others to his as-— sistance. If, under these circam- 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 were Only doing their duty as they knew it. In my opinion, it would be little less than a public calamity for these men, who thought they were doing their duty, and would undoubtedly have been censured and punish- ed hed they failed io arrest this 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 the rougd upright supports ofa cane bettomed chairasa ba!. In some way or other one of the ne- groes who was atthe bat strack one of bis companions a severe biow on the forehead with the end of his improvised bat. The stout piece of wood buried itself in the negroe’s skull, and atthe time it looked as if the days of the injur- ed wan were numbered. Dr. Bert, of South Boston was valled on to the stick from the young man’s head he cuta little notch to mark the depth to which it kad penetra. ted the head. The stick was after. ward moustre', dud it was found that the ,..< that entered the skull was i. length exactly two and a halfi: hes, and in breadth three qua:t..o vfanineh. — It 1s stated that at least a tea cup fuli of brains. was. removed from the hole made in the negroe’s head, and the “most remarkable thing about the whole matter is “These “men (officers of law) {were sentenced for assault and|~ ‘rience at the bar was heard to say have scrupies.about. finding death attendthe negro.
