Anthony Murray Is deed and burled.
This is the younger brother of the two
negro men who were shot by l'olic.man
Albert A. Al.la In the Swansboro' trage
?I. 4 Saturday night. Charlen Murray,
?st of the two shot, died almost In
ste-ntly, but Anthony, though from the
first believed to be fatally Injured, lin?
gered on until Sunday evening at 6:30
o'clock, wheff he, too. died.
The double fun.ral was held from the
I'd st Afrl, un Raptist church of Manches?
ter y.-st? rd.-iy afternoon at 3 o'clock, and
the bodies interred side by side In the
??ni.tery for the colored people beyond
Maury C'emcl? fy.
i:??rythlng that able physicians could
do was employed, without stint, to save
Murray's life, but without avail. From
the time (at 9? o'clock Saturday night)
?1MB be was removed from the spot at
whl? h he had fallen on the turnpike, until
the moment of his death, Dr. William I*.
M; thews was almost continually at his
side. Dr. Math, ws remain? ?1 with him
all night Saturday, and Sunday morning
at M ..'?loi k. assist??! by Drs. Thomas P.
MathewB and Dorsey L. Morris, he per?
formed an operation, locating the batt.
The missile, they aooertnlaed, had ? .-?
tered the man's stO-USth, and bed pass.-d
through hlni, lodging in the muscles of
the back. Murray was very weak from
loss of blood, an?J It was plain enough
that death would come before the Any
gODO, so it was thought best not to
t ikg the bau out, as this <<>uid mean only
an aggravation of his sufferings.
HIS ANTE-.MORTEM STATEMENT.
it was feared that he eoald not live
through the night on which ho wag shot,
nn.l Constable QOOTgS C, ?'??1?-. of Swans
bOTO', took his ant.-in.,rt. in Statement.
?1*1. in substance, that on Suturday
night he and his brother had been drink?
ing at Mr. T. 1. ?'?-rsley's bar. when Mr.
Alvis tame in. ainl seizing his brother
?'liarles In the ?ollar, said: "You are the
man l have boon wanting all the evening
an I 1 erroot you." Then he said he
told Mr. Alvis that he ought not to er?
rent (liarles, as he bad done nothing.
Happening to stoop ?down at this time
bis pistol dropped out of his pocket, and
at this Offloet Alvis drew his own pistol
ami tired, first on his broth? r, killing him,
and then, when ho remonstrated with
him, he shot him. According to this
statement, it will be seen that the negro
Uses the shooting of both men In Mr.
?ersl.y's store, but, as a matter of fact,
the entire disturbance occurred some
thirty yards nway. on the turn?
pike. During the whole tlm<- 'of tbe
tWenty-tWO hours that he live?' <.ft,r
being shot, thai he was cons?-lous, Mur?
ray expressed the most earnest and tagt r
desire to live, that he might kill Alvis.
sikni. OP i:.\i'rri:.\ii:.\T.
Anthony dle?l In th?- bouse to which
Charlee Murray had just b.-en carried
Ohsad of him a corpse, l-'rom the time
that his body and that of the Injured
iiiiiii were taken there until yesterday
afternoon, when the biers took tho re?
mains of both away, the rooms of the
house, the yard, und the square around
WOTS filled With colored people. Con?
stantly erleo went up for Alvis, and tho
crisis of ti??- excitement was reached,
almost amounting to frenzy, when it
beoanse known that tWO corps? s lay In
ti??- house. Threats of incendiarism ami
violence w?-re on many lips, and for the
hour loss of property, ami even loss <>r
life, seemed immitunt. Senior-Justk-?
of-thO-Peaoe Charles T. Jones swore in
Mr. Thomas ?"arr??ll as SPOOJ?I police?
man In the plane of Mr. Alvis, and
Sloven private citizens. The 'Squire also
requested Policeman Alex. S. Wright,
of the Manchester force, to report for
dat*. there. Mr. Wright remained In
Swansboro' until 2 o'clock yesterday
morning. Th? principal function per?
formed by these officers was to lend
their presence to signify that or?l?-r
should be preserved, and apparently tho
thr?-ats of "burning Swansboro' " have
beOB l'-t pass unnoticed, but It was
stated on excellent authority last night
that the names of a dozen or more iu
, ha?! been s. cured, who had been
pronounced in t h ? i r menacing language.
When the little town has become more
quiet wurrants will bo ?worn out for
their arrest .
While it Is true, that son?*? of the col?
or, ,1 people ."f Swansboro', especially
...unger men, have behaved thought?
lessly and ugly, this is not true about
all. y. William Moon, the assisiant
principal of the MoachCeter colon d
school, and some other of his race, of
Swansboro' and Manchester, have acted
a most commendable part In this un?
fortunate tragedy. Dominie Moon p??s
- the respe.-t and esteem of tho
Colored people. They look up to him
as u mau of superior intellljrence, but
his conduct. which, throughout, bas
been "'_. the Okie with peaco and law
orcer, has ?boon such as to chal
lenge tho respect of both white and
colored.
HOLD THE INQUEST TO-DAY.
The Coroner's jury, consisting of C. W.

'H?iulre Jones, met Saturday night, but
adjourned over until Sunday morning at
9 o'clock. Adjournment was then made
until 10 o'clock vest? r.lay morning. The
bodies WOfg viewed by the jury, when it
was agreed to hold another sitting this
morning ni ll o'clock at the colored
..?l-houao.
The church at which the double funeral
. mut I?? ' ' > ? -t? ? .lay was crowd-d
beyond its capacity perhaps an hour bo?
th* time at which it was announced
that the exercises would he held. There
was also a number of white people in
the house. Rev. A. Minga, pastor of the
church, conducted the service in a digni?
fied and manly way, ???.larmg in th? off
,.. t that he was not preaching of or to the
dead, but *-? the living. The dead were in
the hands of their God. and there l? t
them Sot. Once only he refcrre?! to them
as being ?hot down like beasts, and in
tho next breath declared himself unal?
terably for law and order. His theme
was. "Prepare to Meet Thy God."
H |K ol-'KICER UNDER ARREST.
Mr. Alvis, who has passed much of the
Unie since Saturday night at the Man?
chester Police-Station, was lust evening
ot 7 o'clock arrested by constable Cole.
The warrant of arrest was Issued by
'Squire Jones, and charged Alvis with
shooting and killing Charle? and An?
thony Murray. Mr. Alvis was commit?
ted to the charge of Captain James A.
I ipscomb Chief of Police of Manchester,

ttloto he spent the ?light.
The afternoon hours of Sunday Mr.
Alvis spent in Swansboro', on the streets
and at his home. No violence at all wae
then attempted, but as night came en
he returned to the Manchester station.
It Is b.-llc < ?l "" ?il hands that ha will
be exonerated by the Coroner's jury, but
It is more than probable that he will ask
a trial before a Jury that no stigma
may attach to 1.1? name and that the

L
Did ever a wo?
man experience
true happines-T
until she bent
over her rosy
/ cheeked, aleep
ing babe, tired of
play and forget?
ful of toys. Nev?
er. True happiness for a childless woman is
nature'a most emphatic impossibility. The
world teeny with otherwise happy wedded
couples that only need the link off a babe's
divided caresses to unite them in mutual
happiness through all eternity. Any woman
may assure herself of happy wifehood, long
life, love, and the gTeat blessing of mother?
hood, who will take proper care of her wo
manly-aelf, and resort to the right remedy
for weakness and disease of the delicate
organs peculiar to her sex.
The best of all-known remedies for the
special weaknesses and diseaaes from which
women suffer is Dr. Pierce'a Favorite Pre?
scription. It acts directly and only on the
organs that bear the burdens of mother?
hood. It makes them strong and healthy.
Taken during the expectant period it ban?
ishes the usual discomforts and makes
baby's advent ea*y ?and almost painless. It
insures a robust newcomer and an ample
supply of natural nourishment. All good
druggists sell it.
"It is my heart's desire." writ*? Mrs. M. E.
Jimpson, V. O. Box 31, Kln4eihook. Columbia
Co., N. Y., "to tell you what Dr. Pierce's medi?
cine has dime for me. Two years ago I was in a
very bad state. I took nine bottles in all of your
' Favorite Pr?criptiou.' I had b?ten married
five years and had not had any children. I no
have a young son oae year old. Vr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription effected a -poaitlve eure ?
words cannot expr?s? my gratitude for the re?
lief from the great ?uffensg I so ?ng endured.
I do not think I should be here to-day had it aot

Mr. Pelree to lHilar?an?.
Rev. W. C. I'eirce preached Sunday at
the I'nltarian church on "The Religion of
Righteousness." The text was, "Blessed
aro they that hunger ami thirst after
righteousness, for thc-y shall be fill??!."
"Righteousness." he said, "is one of the
mon common words In the literature of
religion, and is the most constant in its
meaning. Dogma und ceremonial are the
helps man has needed in satisfying his
hunger. Belief and form are means to
holy living, and as mankind grows
stronger he sees more of life and reality,
gad .1. pends less upon form and symbol.
As, we understand <;<?d's laws Utter, we
leave behind our fears, and lov>? rul?-s
the will. We are able now "to worship
("o?l In spirit and follow His truth, which
leads to righteousness; but we do not wor?
ship God In order to glorify Him, for
we can add nothing "to the Infinite One.,
but in our worship we give expression to
our love of God, and are Influenced by it
to become like the Divine Image which
we love. The aim of preaching Is not the
inculcations of beliefs about life of God;
but the presentation of godly life In such
a manner that people shall he inov.-u
to holy living. Christianity has lived,
in spite of many repelling doctrines, be?
cause Jesus -is seen to be the type ?>'
glorified humani'iy. Be lived for right?
eousness' sake, not for a p.-rsonal reward,
while His followers bave Insisted on mea?
suring the spiritual life by th.- standards
of their common aff.tlrs. and demand
compensation for right thinking and liv?
ing. This idea la like the child's study?
ing for some prise, ignoring ?he value 01
the knowledge which he gains. The high?
est motive Is to do right because It 1?
right: otherwise our right-doing is mere
morality, and not religion. This is what
J.sus meant when he spoke to His dis?
ciples about 'loving themselves.* There
is no virtue, in rlght-thlnktng or right
doing unless It Is done without thinking
of self-salvation. The new spirit in re?
ligion deals with purity of motives, and
is bringing about a genuine revival ol
true Christianity, having tho love of truth
for Its beginning and righteousness foi
its end."

PIckett Camp convened promptly at *
o'clock, with Flrst-Lleutenant-Command
er Gtbba in the chair. The attendance
waa quite large, and after the roll-cJ.il.
reading of minutes, Ac, reports as to the
atck were heard. It waa stated that
Comrade Hobson, who lives at the cor?
ner of Twenty-fourth and Marshall, was
very ill.
Through Colonr-1 Northen the Comm.t
t?ee on Hall reported progress In the mat?
ter of getting new quarters for the camp.
Professor) John P. McOulre was Ini?
tiate a member of the body, and re?
ceived a welcome from the "old Con
feds" present.
Mr. W. H. Beverldge, of the committee
on the monument to be erected at Char
lottesvllle to the memory of Stonewall
Jackson, stated that his committee would
hold a meeting next week, and would
soon be able to report something In?
teresting.
There was a great deal of discussion
over Colonel Northen's motion to amumi
the by-laws so as to reduce the Initiation
f? a and dues of contributing members
from ?fl and 25 cents a month, respective?
ly, to 50 cents and 10 cents per month,
respectively. This article places no fur?
ther restrictions as to contributing mem?
bers save that they shall be citizens in
good litandlng. It was argued that the
due? as at present fixed were too high,
and that If they were reduced young
blood would be infused Into the camp
and it ",ould soon be in a flourishing con?
dition.
WANTED A STANDARD FIXED.
Mr. Beveridge offered as a substitute
that the dues remain as tlxed and that
contributing members be limited to per?
sons whose fathers, gnrtidfathers, or
great-grandfathers saw active service in
the field In the Confederate army. He
said he wanted the standard of this camp
to be fixed, and waa opposed to admit?
ting "Tom, Dick, and Harry" for the
purpose of making money for the camp.
Colonel Northen rejoined by saying
that what he wished to do was to put the
?amp within the reach of all young men,
and ol'l ones, too, for that matter; It
would be an educational movement which
all should commend. After some fur?
ther comment the substitute offered by
Mr. Bevertdga was defaoted, as was the
original amendment offers! by Colonel
Northen.
Dr. Stratton mr>ve?l tbXit the past com?
manders bo constituted a committee to
OrganlM ramp of Sons of Veterans In
Picket Camp. It was stated that there
were over 8,00) sons of Confederate v tc
rans In the city of Richmond, which
number afforde?l a big surplus for Pickett
Camp to draw from.
cmrade Gates airain eppOOOd the In?
stallation of a camp of Sons, but the
motion of Dr. Stratum was adopted by
an overwhelming majority.
PBOmeOR M'GC IRE'S ADDRESS.
After this the canip called upon Profes?
sor John P. MeGuire for a 10-mlnut?s'
talk, under the hea?l of "the good of the
?imp." ugA that comrado made a m??st
eloquent V?1 touching little speech, in
which he spoke of the Importance of
training the boys to a prop?er standard of
manh?)o?l. He felt prouil. he said, of
the compliment that the camp had paid
to him, and gave a very thrilling account
of th?i surrender at AppomiUtox, and
what it atgnUled and typified.
At the conclusion of Professor MeGulre's
remarks, Captain Peter Morton, a mem?
ber of Phil Kearny Post, Grand Army <>f
the Republic was called upon, and made
a very happy 10-mlnutes' speech, in which
he paid Just credit to th.- Confederate
soldier?, and announced that hereafter
I'll il Kearny Post would throw open Its
doors to the roterem of Pickett Camp
on the third Wednesday night In every
month at 8:30 o'clock. Contain Morton
also stated to the camp that his post had
an organization of Sons of Veterans, be?
tween forty and fifty strong, but hi I
never been able to uniform them. He
said a number of young ladles und^gen
tlemen, all of whom are Confederates,
were getting up an entertainment to be
given to raise funda for the purpose of
aiding these young men In equipping
themselves with uniforms, and h? hoped
the members of Pickett Camp would at?
tend the same.
TO ENDORSE LU ('AMI'S STEH.
At this point Dr. Stratton offered a
resolution endorsing the step taken by
Lee Camp in asking the Grand Com?
mander of the Grand Camp to appoint a
commltte? to investigate the conduct
of members of the History Committee
with reference to alleged connection with
the American Rook Company. Dr. Strat?
ton said he offered this as g member of
Hits camp; was also u member of the

WEEKLY BBB'tlMO OF THE SO\S.
Report oi Their Entertainment of
the Sponsor??< oHumc Fund.
1 The meeting of Lee ?amp, S jus of
Veterans, last night, was undisturbed
by a single ripple of excitement. The
attendance, indeed, was large, for all
sorts of rumors were in circulation, and
the bark of the Irrepressibles seemed
bound once more for the shoalu of Sen?
sation.
The proceedings were opened with
prayer by Comrade Storr-s, and the usual
.routine business was transacted. The
resolution adopted by I>ee Camp at Its
meeting on Monday last, thanking the
Sons for the part they had taken in the
entertainment of sponsors and maids of
honor during the recent sessions of the
Grand Camp of Virginia, waa received
with applause.
Mr. Robert S. ?osher was unanimously
elected a member of the camp. A petl
1 tion for membership was received from
Dr. Charle? Venable Carrlngton, and
Messrs. Gregory, Cox, and Brander were
, appointed a committee to consider his
application.
REPORT ON ENTERTAINMENT.
The Entertainment Committee waa dis?
charged from further service, and It was
i decided that no further entertainments
' will be held this year. Mr. Gregory,
chairman of the Reception Committee, ?g
submitting hia report, said:
"The Reception Committee appointed
by this camp for the purpose of enter?
taining delegates to the Grand Camp,
8ona of Veterans, which met here Octo?
ber 20th-22 d, have determined It un?
necessary in a final report to go into
detail and give the camp an outline of
each entertainment. As to whether we
failed or succeeded In our attempt, we
think the letter of Mrs. Randolph and
the action of R. E. Lee Camp Veterans
sufficient ?evidence to prove that we did
not 'fall ignominioualy,' as aome one has
styled our efforts. A? to finances, our
total expenses amounted to MSM. The
committee has collected for the purpoa?
of entertaining the delegatea I?, leaving
on hand 13.30. which amount we wish
to turn over to the cottage fund."
The report was adoptai amid applause.

citizens had given far more towards the
cottage, In proportion, than the Sons of
Veterans. He urged members to unite
In wiping out the debt. He critlclaed the
apathy of members In this connection,
and suggested several metho?ls for rais?
ing the money. He moved that a cir?
cular letter be prepared by the Executive
Committee, calling on the Sons of Vete?
rans to subscribe the amount required.
Mr. Lccky opposed the motion. The
Executive Committee, he said, had al?
ready done an Immense amount of work,
and It was unfair to ask them to do
more. Mr. Cox stated that nine such
Utters as Mr. Morrissette hud suggested
had been sent out, and not one of them
had been responded to by any camp.
Mr. Folkes suggested that a special
committee should be appointed to under?
take the matter.
Mr. Uarraud moved as a substitute that
a committee of ten should b? ap?
pointed to raise the money needed, and
the substitute was adopted.
The commander appointed the following
to act: Messrs. P. St. George Barraud,
George Wllkes, W. J. Morrissette. J. B.
Gayle. W. R. Wahlen, J. H. Shepherd.

FORTY-EIGHT HOIRS* SLEEP.
Tho most sensational part of the pro
frammo waa the last number, when Mr.
->-?j placed a man Into a hypnotic sleep,
from which he will not awake until half
past 10 o'clock to-morrow evening upon
the Academy stage. The man who take?
tho long sleep Is W. F. Nash, of Dallas,

Introducing the subject, Mr. I-e ask*d

His pulso and temperature were bu'h
normal, and his weight, compared to I:Is
height, was accorllng to the standard of
insurance companies. Mr. Nash was then
placed upon the cot, and put to sleep lor
forty-eight hours. After a few passes of
Mr. I.??*'? hands across his face he
came rigid. The hypnotist then repeated
to him that the functions of jjjs body,
except his heart and lungs, wom.i remain
stationary during his sleep, and he would
not want either food or water. The cot

iniiiln- Lectures at the Collearc.
Another large audience assembled in
the Richmond College chapel last night
to hear Dr. James Henry Breaated in ?he
third of his lecture? in the Thomaa series.
The lecture had been announced for 8:11
o'clock, but fully half an hour before that
time every available foot of space in
the hall was occupied. Dr. Breasted was
presented to the audience by President
B??atwright, who regretted very much
that the hall was not large enough to
seat comfortably all who had come.
Th? speaker began with a discussion
of the feudal age, and graphically de?
scribed the Industrial arts of th? early
Egyptians. He possesses to a marked
degree tho happy faculty of bringing
vividly before his audience scenes which
were laid in a far distant land foi. thou
sa:il years ago. He dwelt at som? ?. ft
upon the life and mercantile Intereste ?l
a representative nobleman of the MldlPJ
Empire as Illustrating the s?m-?..| and In?

Dr. Breasted closed with a dlscussldj
of the foreign conquests and Semite
visitors In Egypt.
With his clear and well-controlled room
combined with a masterful handling oi
his subject, the speaker holds his audl
> n? ? 1 from start to finish.
This evening the subject will be "Th?
New Empire; the Rise of Thebes? th?
Conquerors of Asia; the First World Em
pire; the World's First Reformer; th?
Possible Date of the Exodus; the Fina
Fall of the Native Itiaraohs." The lee
