BLEW OUT HIS BINS
Mr. Henry M. Cowan Commits
Suicide.
NO CAUSE ASSIGNED
Had Been in Bad Health and His Mine
Was Unbalanced-Shot Twice in the
Temple and Yet Lived an Hour and a
Half— The City Saddened by the Oc
currence.
Mr. Henry M. Cowan yesterday tool,
hi* qnn life.
A few minutes after nine o'clock in
the morning he was standing in front
of the Andrews Building talking with
Mr. W. 11. Hughes, whose store is on
the first floor. Mr. Cowan has apart
ments on the third floor. Mr. Hughes
said his oomversatioft was hardly ra
tional. lie went into the North Caro
lina book-store, got some matches,
and went up to his room.
A few minutes later, about 9:30
o'clock, two pistol shots rang out.
Mr. Marcus Smith, who has his of
fice on the second floor, rushed out
and saw smoke issuing from Mr.
Cowan's room. When he arrived there
he found him lying on the bed, his
feet dragging the floor. From a gap
ing wound in his temple the blood was
pouring out. On the bed lay' an open
razor, and the pistol that hail done
the deadly work lay on the floor at
his feet.
l)r. Knox was immediately called,
and almost in a moment Mr. John W.
Thompson, Auditor Furman, Mr. B. R.
Lacy, Mr. Hugh Morson, and the doc
tors were at. the bedside. Drs. lingers,
Knox, Upchurch and Sexton attended
Mr. cowan.
He never recoveied consciousness.
The wonder was H at he lived so long,
for he died at eleven o’clock, lie had
literally blown out his brains.
A great crowd gathered ait the door
soon after the shooting, and it was
necessary to detail two policemen to
guard the entrance.
At 1.30 o’clock the body was taken
to the home of his sister and broither
in-law, Capt. and Mrs. C. B. Denson,
where it remained until 3:30 o’clock,
when it was carried to the union
depot.
From the house to the depot there
was an honorary escort, a body of
Masons from William G. Hill Lodge
and a detail of Knights Templar from
Raleigh Commandery.
The pall-bearers were: Messrs. G.
E Leach, T. H. Womack, E. M. Uzzell,
W. 11. Bragg, George W. Thompson, K.
M. li. H. Bradley, and Ix>gan
Mr. Cowan was born at the home of
his father in Wilmington, November
19th, 1854. His father was Mr. Thomas
Cowan, one of the most prominent
men in the Cape Fear region. He was
educated in Pittsboro and afterward
went to Alabama, where he was city
editor of a newspajier in Opelika. His
brother is now- a prominent contraotor
in Alabama. Fifteen years was Mr.
Cowan employed in the ottice of the
State Treasurer, for many years as
chief elerk under the late Donald W.
Bain and Col. S. McD. Tate. There
was never a more popular man among
his associates or with the general
public, and his competency was nota
ble.
He has been in failing health for
some years, and recently his mind
seemed to be unbalanced.
Some months ago he went to Bur
lington and disappeared and all the
indications jKiinted to suicide, but he
was found, and could not, remember
any of the circumstances of his disap
pearance.
Just before he left for Burlington
he went into the State Library and
asked Librarian Ellington if he could
find Mr. W. H. Bragg as lie wanted
to see him on. very important busi
ness; he left hastily and the next news
Mr. Ellington heard was of the disap
pearance at Burlington. Yesterday
morning Mr. Cowan came to him and
in the same way inquired for Mr.
Bragg. This singular coincidence
made an unusual impression on Mr.
Ellington.
Mr. Cowan was a prominent Mason
and Knight Templar, and was one of
the most genial and open-hearted of
men. His every aeqnaintace will re
gret his sad death.
He left no letter telling his reasons
for committing suicide.
Capt. W. R. Blake, of the Raleigh
Commandery Knights Templar; Mr.
W. E. Faison, of William G. HiiM.odge.
and Judge T. B. Womack accompanied
the remains to Pittsboro, as an honor
ary escort.
Capt. Denson and family were joined
here by Mr. R. H. Cowan, editor of the
Durham Globe, and brother of the de
ceased. The funeral will lie held at
Pittsboro to-day.
‘•I AM A SILVER MAN,
And Will Not Support Any Goldbug, or
Man That Will Support One.”
Ex-Representative J. R. Calloway,
who was elected to the Legislature
from this county on the Democratic
ticket, and afterwards joined the Pop
ulist partv, has issued a card declining
the nomination of Commissioner that
he accepted at the hands of the Popu
list county convention. Mr. Calloway
says in his card. “I am a silver man
and will not support any goldbug, or
any man that 1 have reasons to believe
will supjKirt one.” Mr. Calloway was
the chairman of the Populist county
convention, and is a man that has and
does enjoy the confidence of the citi
zens of his community and county.
He, like a great many, left the Demo
cratic party because he had no confi
dence in the promised reforms of Mr.
Cleveland, and we suppose his card
is a protest against the policy of this
party in endorsing Pritchard who has
declared for gold and all that McKin
leyism means. His declination is an
other straw that indicates the leaven
is leavening the whole lump, and that
the honest farmers who joined the
Populists, do not propose to be tossed

NEW YORK FOR BRYAN.
Colonel Benehan Cameron Says The
Empire State Will Give Its Electo
ral Vote to The Nebraskan.
“New York is going for Bryan,” said
Col. Benehan Cameron, who was here
yesterday. Col. Cameron was in New
York when Mr. Bryan delivered his
speech of acceptance, and spent two
weeks afterwards in the State.
“Wherever I went,” he said, “there was
great enthusiasm for silver and for
Bryan. This was particularly true in
agricultural sections. Thousands of
farmers, lifelong Republicans, who feel
the low prices as surely as the far
mers in the South, declare they will
vote for Bryan, not because they are
Democrats, but because they are in
favor of the free coinage of silver. In
New York City, at Sheepshead Bay, at
Coney Island, I found the sentiment
overwhelmingly for silver. The people
who have large fortunes and spend the
summer at fashionable resorts are, of
course, mostly for gold, but they have
very few votes to cast in comparison
with the votes of the farmers and me
chanics who are lining up almost sol
idly for silver. 1 verily believe that
instead of McKinley coming-down to
the Harlem with 60,000 to 80,000 votes,
as the Republican, candidate usually
does, he w ill not come down with any
majority at all. Well informed men
told me that some of the best Republi
can workers did not expect to come
down w ith over 25,000, and were i dy
ing upon New York city and Brooklyn
to give Bryan no majority at all,
through the efforts of the gold Demo
crats.”
COTTON MILLS NUMBER 174
NEW MACHINERY PLACED IN
FIFTY FACTORIES THE PAST
YEAR.
Notable Improvements in the Grade of
Goods Turned Out—The Industry is
Becoming Diversified.
In the August Bulletin, which will
be issued this week, the State Board
of Agriculture publishes a complete
list, from the latest information ob
tainable, of the number of manufactur
ing enterprises in the State.
The list shows tnat. there are now
174 coton mills in the State, one silk
mill, eight woolen, fifteen hosiery',
one calico, three knitted underwear,
one net and twine, four bag, two cord
age. Four bleacheries are located ill the
State, where four years ago all goods
had to lie sent North to be bleached.
The largest factories in the State are
Rocky Mount Mills, 25,000 spindles, no
looms; Odell Manufacturing Company,
Concord, 25.000 spindles, 1,125 looms;
Henrietta Mills, Rutherford county,
1,600 looms and 35,000 spindles.
The most notable feature in cotton
milling progress has been in the im
provement of equipment.
No less than fifty mills in the past
year have thrown out the old machin
ery and put in new. There has been a
decided tendency from mere yarn mak
ing and making ordinary unbleached
war (lings to finer classes of bleached
goods, as well as manufacturing
garments. At least, ten mills that here
tofore only spun yarn have gone into
the manufacture of garments. There
was not a bleaohery in the State three
years ago. One mill is making calico,
the first mill to engage in this branch
in the State. This is Steele’s Mills,
Richmond county. Many mills are
entering upon the manufacture of
cordage, twine, etc., showing a ten
dency to diversify' the industry that is
gratifying. The Northern manufac
turer has left the Southern mill to
make the coarse yarns, while they have
ihade a good profit turning out the fin
ished goods. Now' that is changed,
and the Southern manufacturer is com
peting with the Northern mills in ev
ery grade of products.
The number of mills by* counties
are:
Alamance, 21; Anson, 2; Buncombe,
2; Bur'ke, 2; Cabarrus, 6; Caldwell, 2;
Catawba, 7; Chatham, 2; Cleveland 7;
Cumberland, 8; Davidson, 2; Durham,

Governor Carr pays S2OO Reward for
| The Capture of the Goldsboro Wife
I Murderer.
Ex-Sheriff D. A. Granham, of Wayne
county, was here yesterday, and Gov
ernor Carr paid him the S2OO reward
offered for the capture of Nathaniel
Morre, the Goldsboro wife-murdere.
The night of August Ist, Nat Moore,
in a drunken spree, cut the throat of
his wife, Polly Ann Moore. Since the
murder he has roamed the woods and
swamps, like a wild beast. He was
seen several times, but each time evad
ed his pursuers. The officers hunted
him night and day, but he was cunning
and agile and they never laid eyes on
him. The Governor a week ago of
fered S2OO reward for him and since
that time officers have chased him
night and day.
He is now- lodged in the Wayne
county jail at Goldsboro.
FATAL DISEASE AMONG CATTLE.
It Has Broken Out in the Vicinity of
Charlotte, and is Spreading.
Mr. McD. Watkins, of Charlotte,
writes Governor Carr that a fatal dis
ease has broken out among the cattle
of that section,supposed to be anthrax.
He has lost twenty cows from the dis
ease, some of them valuable animals.
The cattle are taken suddenly and live
from forty-eight to ninety-six hours.
The veterinaries are afraid the disease
will spread over the country, as no way
has yet been found to arrest it.
Mr. Watkins requests the Governor
to call on the Bureau of Animal Indus
try of the United States government
; for assistance.
Governor Carr yesterday telegraph
ed l)r. I). E. Salmon, chief of the Bu
reau of Animal Industry, asking him
to investigate the matter and use wliat
measures were necessary to arrest the
1 progress of the disease.

THE NEWS AND OBSERVER, SUNDAY MORNINO, AUGUST 30, 180 b.
JOHN E. RAY ELECTED
PRINCIPAL OF THE INSTITUTION
FOR THE DEAF, DUMB AND
BLIND.
To Succeed Mr. F. R. Place-A North
Carolinian Who in His Special Field
Has Achieved Eminent Success
Abroad.
'The News and Observer informed the
public yesterdav morning that Mr. T.
R. Place had lisigned as principal of
the State institution for the Deaf, the
Dumb and the Blind, located in this
city. After his resignation was ac
cepted, the Board elected as principal
Mr. John K.Ray,who is at present prin
cipal of a similar institution at Dan
ville, Ky. His selection was not unani
mous, and he had previously informed
members of the Board that he would
not accept the positon unless he was
unanimously elected. While the vote
was not unanimous, yet the Board
unanimously voted to do everything in
its jiower to make his administration
successful in case lie accepted. Mr.
Ray’s many friends throughout the
State are very anxious that he should
return to North aCrolina and enter
the institution where he has given ex
cellent service in the past. It is hard
ly necessary to say anything in these
columns concerning Mr. Ray, he is so
widely known; in fact, there is not
a county in the State with which he
is not well acquainted. He has had
many valuable years of experience
since he left North Carolina and has
displayed excellent executive ability.
He brought the institution in Colorado,
which he had charge of for several
years, up to a high degree of efficiency,
and made it one of the very best in
the entire country. He is a man of
genial spirit, of the highest Christian
character, and he makes a fine impres
sion before an audience.
He is also an expert teacher, and
it is believed that no one could come
here and unite the Board, which lias
disagreed upon the question of a
principal, so thoroughly as Mr. Ray. In
ibis ease there cannot possibly arise
any question of ineligibility. He is
also a North Carolinian by' birth and
education—a man whom it is believed
all classes will be glad to welcome to
the State.
It is well known that there has
been for some months considerable
quiet friction in the Board. Air.
Young failed of a re-election in June,
and Mr. Place was made principal.
Now Mr. Place, is throw n out by the
recent opinion of the Attorney-Gen
eral. The public has become tired of
the situation, lint is breathing a sigh
of relief in the hope that Mr. Ray will
promptly accept. Ik is nearly-time for
the institution to open and it i be
lieved his coming will prove the happy
solution of a much Vexed problem.
Mr. Ray is a native of Wake county,
and was liorn ten miles west of Ral
eigh, some forty years ago. He gradu
ated from Wake Forest and later be
came a teacher in the I)., D. and B.
Institution here. He was soon after!
elected secretary of the State Baptist
Sunday School Board and later, secre
tary of the Baptist State Board of
Missions. He retired from this work
to accept the place of principal of the
Institution for the Deaf and Blind of
Colorado, which he resigned to accept
his present position irt Kentucky.
Mr. Ray has a deep affection for his
native State and has often expressed
a desire to, at some time, again make
his residence here.
It is earnestly' hoped by his many
friends here that Mr. Ray will accept j
the (Kisition.
OPERA FOR FAIR WEEK.
Manager Meares Secures an Excellent
Company With Good Repertoire.
Year after year Raleigh people and
folks who visit the city during fair

asked why the management didn’t pro
vide good shows for fair week.

UNION OF SILVER FORCES.
Dr. Mott Docs Not Believe McKinley
Can Slip in and Get the State’s
Electoral Vote.
Dr, J. J. Mott, chairman of the Na
tional Executive committee of the “Sil
ver Party,” was here again yesterday.
"The gold standard people are making
a desperate fight for McKinley in this
State,” he said, “and they are going
to put up a strong campaign. It would
bo suicidal for the friends of silver
who are in so overwhelming a ma
jority in the State to so divide their
forces as to allow McKinley to secure
the electoral vote of this State. The
silver men see that the gold standard
men are calculating on a division of the
silver vote, and they know that they
rnust get together. I believe that it
will all be arranged in the next few
days, say within two weeks. McKin
ley w ill luirdly be allowed to take off
the electoral vote of North Carolina.”
A NEW DAILY IN NEWBERX.
On the first day of September, Mr.

committee, and C. T. Watson, president
Craven County Bryan and Watson dull,
have issued an address to the Demo
crats of the county, stating the needs
of a paper that will give “special at

plunks of our platform, its editor be
ing personally an enthusiastic believer
in the soundness, honesty and absolute
necessity for the free coinage of silver
at ther atio of 16 of silver to 1 of gold,
and that independently of the world.
“We earnestly press upon Demo
crats to support the paper that sup

upon business men to support in their
advertising patronage the paper that
advocates the policy most favorable to
their business prosperity, and that of
their customers.”
A fire alarm was turned in from l*>x

MANUFACTURERS AT THE FAIR.
President Cameron and Secretary'
Nichols Urge That. Every Estab
lishment in the State be
Represented.
President Cameron and Secretary
Nichols have issued this address to
! North Carolina manufacturers:
“The object of the State Fair is to
exhibit as far as possible the resources
and industries of the State. North
! Carolina lias made more rapid progress
! in manufacturing enterprise during
j the last twenty years than any r other
State in the Union; but w ith the excep
tion of the State Exposition in 1884,
our manufacturers have taken very lit
j tie interest in showing their goods at
State fairs.
“The managers for the present year
! will make special efforts to secure, if
! possible, a small exhibit—at least,
some small article from every rnanu
j factoring establishment in the Stae.
• These articles will all be properly la
j belled and arranged in a division in the
| main building, to be known as “ludex
ito North Carolina Industries.” It mat
j ters not how small the article, all will
! receive the same attention. Os course
J some exhibitors may wish to have a
| display of their own; so much the bet
j ter if they do —we have ample room for
j all.
j “There is not a manufacturing es
j tablishment in the State that cannot
send something. Cottoxi mills can send
a bolt or half bolt of plaids, bunch of
yarns, or twine. Woolen mills can send
a few yards of the products of their
looms. Canning establishments, sam
ples of their fruits and vegetables.
Woodworkers, samples of their skill,
| in some form. Tanners can send sam
j (ties of their leather and dressed skins.
; Saddlers and harness makers can send
| a saddle, a bridle or a set of harness.
; Millers can send a liarrel of North Car
-1 olina flour, com meal, etc. Carriage,
buggy and wagon makers can all send
vehicles or other useful articles to add
to this interesting exhibit. All are in
vited to send something.
“Exhibitors may send their own
; show cards, where they have them,
j Others will be furnished by' the
( Society.
j- “The services of an expert will be se
curd, w ho will arrange these exhibits
in the most attractive style. We be
lieve it will make one of the most in
teresting exhibits ever shown at any
State fair.
“It is hoped that every manufactur

send something, be if ever so small.
Every article will be well cared for
and returned at the close of the fair,
unless otherwise directed.
“Let the exhibit lie truly an ‘lndex

CABINET MEMBERS INTRODUCED.
At the conclusion of the President’s
address, a copy of it was handed to
Secretary Lo Fong Lou, and he trans
lated it to his master, who listened
with attention, nodding occasionally
his approval at the sentiments of the
President.
This done, the President presented
to the Viceroy the members of his
cabinet present. There was then a
general hand-shaking all round. The
Viceroy several times asked questions
of Assistant Secretary Rockhill, the
import of which could not be learned,
as the latter smilingly replied in Chi
nese, and apparently satisfied the aged
statesman’s curiosity. It was intimat
ed subsequently by Private Secretary
Thurber that he had made his custom
ary inquiry as to the age of the Presi
dent and family.
Earl Li remained in the hotel during
the afternoon.

NEW GOODS
By the Car Load.
We have been in the a ercantile business now for nearly fifteen years, and
we can truthfully sav that we never felt so proud of a stock or so confident of its
value as we do of this great fall stock which we are now receiving. We have
taken the time and trouble to look for bargains in each line and we promise you
that we found them and are now opening them up for your critical examination.
We are not letting up on the summer g <kls. Wo need ’ all the room wo can get,
and we don’t want it taken up with summer goods.
We have a great big store, only one in Raleigh as la’-ge by half, and we are
filling it from basement to roof with the greatest line of lalt g mds you have ever
seen in Raleigh. We have no competition. When any man claims to sell you
anything at- cheaply as we do, don’t take his statement, but come and get our
prices and compare thtm.

25 Cents Each.
3*ll colors, all sizes, latest styles, worth 50c, 75c and sl. Saturday only, 25

THOSE WE WASH
DON’T.
They will stand the most awful heat
wonderfully. Although it may not be
soiled, nothing looks somussy as a shirt
or collar from which the starch has de
parted. We use a special preparation
of starch, which gives immense satis
faction, and besides, is economical, sav
ing a shirt or collar from being laun
dried just because it is limp. Economy,
satisfaction and promptness are our
threw cardinal virtues.
