cated the extension of suffrage to the
Colored people, and he had no nppology
to rziko for it. He denied that it was
a cJ.'.take and a blunder. Hi' admitted
the difficuh v of t .vo races, unharmoni
oaa and an hatmouious, living together
on equality, but the problem could be
solved. lie bebewd that education
might help lo solve it, therefore he had
voted steadily for the pending bill. Ig
norance and crime were correlative
torm?. The North was proud of the ener
gy tho South had displayed in retrieving
her fortunes, and where, as in this in
stance, tho Smth could not cope with
the problem, the North was Killing to
lend her a helping hand.
If Anyone would present a satisfactory
solution of the race problem in the
South, ho paid he would gladly accept
it, though it burdeued the government
with a debt as meat as that wtucu it
boro at tho cud of the war.

KILLED HIS SISTER-IN-LAW
And Then Placed Her Near the Rail
road Track.
liy United Press.
New Aliiany, Ind., March 14. Henry
Hitter, a bid character of this city, was
anesttd at 6 o'clock this morning ou the
charge of murder. One hour before his
arresi, Mrs. Ellen Wheelou, his sister-in-law,
was found horribly clubbed to
death, lying on the Jeffersonville, Madi
son & Indianapolis railroad track. Tho
supposition is, that Hitter killed the wo
man at her residence, a short distance
from the railroad and placed her on the
track to make it appear that it was sui
cide with a view of hiding the crime.
The web of circumstanti d evidence
that was adduced at the inquest this
morniug, was damaging in the extreme.
Ritter denies all knowledge of the
tragedy. The vietim is 25 years old and
one among the best known ladits of this
city. She leaves a husband and three
children in comfortable circumstances.
Later.. Developments show that Hit
ter attempted to outrage Mrs. Wheelon,
but she resisted, and he brained her
witn a hatchet and carried the body to
tho railroad track, where it was found.
There is talk of lynching.

to the Times from Cumberland, Md.,
says : This morniug between 7 and 8
o'clock a huge rock rolled down the
mountain side and fell upon the West
Virginia Central railroad track, in a cut
between Chaffee and Blaine. The work
train with a crew of twelve men was dis
patched to the spot to remove the ob
struction and clear the track. A large
cable was placed around the rock
and attached to the engine, so
that it might be dragged from
tho cut. All was not ready and the
men were making a final adjustment of
the rope .when a great mass of earth
came rushing down upon them from the
steep mountain side and buried seven of
the men from sight. The others rushed to
their rescue and as soon as possible ex
humed the ill-fated ones. Two were
dead when taken out, one has died since
and three were seriously or fatally in
jured. The dead are: James O. Lambert,
Chaffee, AY. Va. ;Tho3. Downey, and Jos.
MacUeni, an Italian unmarried. The
injured were brought to this city and

Special to the State Chronicle.
Trinity College, March 13. Trinity
has had another treat from the lecturing
platform. On Monday night last Mr.
James Clement Ambrose, of Chicago, a
brilliant and spicy speaker, lectured be
fore the students. His subject was the
"Sham Family," and his introduction of
hm characters of all professions
brough forth from the well-humored
audience repeated applause and laugh
ter. To mortal man who suffers from
that dreadful disease of blues," we
heartily recommend him as a "sure
cure."
As commencement approaches the stu
dents grow enthusiastic in their society
meetings. This society enthusiasm has !
caused the two societies to arrange for a '
ioint debate to take placa in the college
cnapei on April itn,l890,?ti;eh promises
to beia sauree of much enjoyment to all the
friends of Trinity who may be able to
attend. The representatives of this de
bate are :
Hesperian Literary Society Orator,
Alexander K. White, of Pollocksville.
Debaters, L. S. Massey, of Durham coun

Durham, of Oxford, and R. F. Turner,
of Monroe.
All are invited to attend.
There seems to bo a check on the yell
raised by Trinity boys last session, "On

Durham, ever alive for her interests,
and deservedly so too, seems to have
come to the front with a brighter face
than we have seen in some time, and
threatens to take the pennant from Ral
eigh as the educational centre. It is
not definitely settled yet as to the

The operating force is composed of only

A young man, stylishly dressed, entered
the Church of the Heavenly Rest on
Fifth avenue about 3:30 o'cloek yester
day afternoon, just as Sexton Davidson
had opened it for the usual Lenten ser
vices, and, walking up the center aisle
to a point near the pulpit, swallowed a
liquid poison from a small vial, and lay
down to die. The sexton saw all this
from the rear of tho church and, rush
ing up to where ho lay, asked him what
he did such a thing for, but got no re
sponse. Then ho noticed that the young
man held in Ids hand a letter addressed
to "Mrs. Ben Ralston, No. 144 Forty
fifth street, Pittsburg, Pa." He waited
no longer, but rushed out into the street
and, calling a messenger boy, sent for a
policeman.
The worshippers began to assemble,
and the pastor, Dr. Park r Morgan, ar
rived. He spoke to the young man,
who said: "Oh, God! why did I fail? I
came here to die. I have taken poison
because I was unable to find work."
Further questioning revealed the fact
that his name was James Hamilton
Howells Jones, and that his home was
in Pittsburg.
About this time the ambulance sur
geon arrived and, after a careful exami
nation, said the ouug man had not
taken enough poison to kill him, and he
would recover.

Ladies and Gentlemen : During my
life, spent in the good old State of
North Carolina, I have been called upon
to perform many pleasant duties; but
none of them has been more pleasant
than that which devolves on me to
night in introducing to you one of the
foremost men of our nation. Chris
tianity has found in its struggle two
handmaids that have always been upon
its side those of Morality and Benevo
lence. One of these is represented by the gen
tleman who will kindly address you to
night: a General, a Confederate soldier,
who suffered for his South; Lieutenant
Governor of one of the proudest and
most glorious commonwealths that
typefy one of the bright stars.that shine
upon tho flag of this Union; Grand Sire
of the Grand Lodge oi the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, General John
C. Underwood, is before you to-night,
my countrymen. He comes from Ken
tucky, that State which North Carolina
so much loves; a State where brave men
and ueautitul women are its common
products, and where its beautiful blue
grass has given to the country, not only
its most magnificent horses, but the
finest specimen of manhood. I have
the honor to present to you General
John C. Underwood, Grand Sire of the
Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows
(ien. Underwood s address wa3 one
of the most pleasantly eloquent and
magnetic speeches that a North Carolina
audience or any other audience ever
listened to. He is a gentleman of mag
nificent physique.commandingand mill
tarv appearance, attracts tho:e whom
he meets on sight.
He opened his address with some
pleasant and happy allnsions to North
The Order did this without ostentation,
without Claiming credit, but from a no
ble sense of duty from man to man.
He recited other instances of the
practice of this principle, aud presented
them in a way that fairlv thrilled the
audience and caused them to break into
applause time and again.
He illustrated the practice and tenets
of the fraternityjaa showing how great lv
conld exist tho principle of disinter
ested friendship, and how qaicklv and
spontaneously that friendship burst
forth m a practical wav when it fun ml
it was needed.
Right here the speaker became so in
tensely interesting that tho attention of
all the reporters became wholly central
on the personnel and brilliant wit' and
eloquence of tho speaker to such an ex
tent that they forgot to take a note for
several minutes.
Further on he explained that there,
was neither politics nor religion in tho
Order, but that it could not abuse re
ligion. Every man admitted to mem
bership must be a believer, and must bo
moral; "and by the eternal powers,"
said the speaker, "if you stay in that
Order you must be moral; the Order
would soo that yon are moral."
During the address point after point,
fact after fact, illustration after illustra
tion, followed eajch other in rapid suc
cession, and they were of such pith and
eloquence as to keep the attention of
the listeners riveted to an intense de
gree, and everything was illustrative of
some noble sentiment and practice for
which the Order is noted.
He spoke of a branch of tho Order
known tas the Daughters of Rc-Ik kali,
the members of which, of course, arG
women. They were allowed to inn
! their boat pretty much as thev pleased.
-luis priviuege had to be accorded tliem.
This branch of the Order had about
fiftv thousand members.
He said said the Order demanded that
its members should show their wives
the same consideration and respect at
all times as they would show auybody
from whom thev were seekincr some
thing or hoped to gain something. . It
was against the principles of the Order
for a member to tro out in lv.iblin and
talk and act pleasantly toward people,
tnen go iiomo where his wifo
was and set down and throw Ins feet
over the table when his wife is on tho
other side trying to darn stocking for the
baby,and otherwise acting ugly. "Now,'i
said the speaker, "all of you who are
willing to do so, and will promise that
you will go home and act a:; pleasantly
in your home as you do toward people
outside, hold up your hands. I mean
that you shall put. your best foot fore
most in your family as well as outside
among men whose favor or votes you
are seeking to gain; bold up your bands !
About two hundred hands went up
with applause.
In bis concluding remarks, General
