The Pen. ion Appropriation in the
House.
Washington, March 18. -The House
to-day, in committee of the whole, took
up the pension appropriation bill. Mr.
Morrow, of California, explained the
provisions of the bill which appropriates
!H,P. 7,101. He thought it might
be a?stimed that the maximum of
pension expenditures would be
n ached about July 1, lbOl, when it
Wv'iild reach $112,000,000 and the nam
br of pensioners would be 750,000. Mr.
Saers, of Texas, severely criticised tho
administtation of the pension office, and
cite 1 many instances where he claimed
tu.it the decisions of the bureau were m
corree and improper.
Mr. Peters, of Kansas defended the
administration of tho bureau, asserting
that there was nothing unreasonable iu
the increase of pensions which had been
made. So far as the aggregate of iu
uedso was concerned, it n tlected credit,

Is the Secretary Responsible tor Her
Hunniii; Aground The Peculiar Po
sition of the Secretary iu the Matter.
By United Press.l
Washington, D. C, March 18. A
court of inquiry will probably be ordered
to determine the responsibility for the
Despatch running aground on lower Ce
dar Point Shoal in the Po:omae River.
Such is almost invariably the custom
when a United States vessel meets with a
mishap of this kind, and at the Navy De
partment this is believed to be the course
that will bi followed in this instance.
The fact that Secretary Tracy was on
board the Despatch may compli
cate matters somewhat as, tech
nically, when tho Secretary of
tho Navy is aboard of a United States
vessel, by virtue of his office, he is the
ranking officer, and in ordering a court
of inquiry, Secretary Tracy in this case
would in a technical sense be c institu
ting a court to inquire into his own sea
manship, or lack of it. No one for an
instant imagines that a lawyer, when he
becomes secretary of the navy, imme
diately develops into a sea captain, so
(hat if this tecunieal construction is not
advanced, Lieut. W. S. Cowles the real
lommauder of the Despatch would ordi
narily be held responsible for the mis
hap. Lieut. Cowles, in a letter
to the navy department simply
reports that the Despatch is "hard
and fast." Information by river men is
to the effeet that at the point where the
De -pate l ran aground the regular chan
nel is sixty feet deep. Near this point
are two lighthouses Mathias Point
Lighthouse and Smith's Point Light
house. It is supposed that tb.3 Despatch
was being steered by range and not by
chart, and that the navigating t nicer
mistook one lighthouse for the tier. At
! the time of the accident the Despatch
was running with a full head of steam
and landed high ou the sho lis. It hap
peued about 4 o'clock Saturday after
noon, in broad daylight, but the wind
was blowing almost a gale at the time.

they summarily dismissed him. Joi
ner afterwards came to Oberlin, near
this city, to take charge of a colored
church, but was quickly sent away by
its members. He made the acquain
tance of a very few, if indeed any, white
people, while in the vicinity.
But this committee claims that Rev.
T. M. Joiner is a preacher in the M. E.
church; that his character has been nar
rowly scanned by his conference, and
has always stood unchallenged; that he
is intent on doing the work of the Lord;
that for this and no other purpose (ex
cepting only that his pastorate and his
wife's teaching were to colored people)
they were assaulted in their parsonage
home, at the dead hour of night, De
cember 3d, 1889, by a band of masked
men, who forcibly entered their domicil
and proceeded to shoot, abuse and as
sault them iu a shocking and brutal
manner, and that they t scaped with
many wounds.
The committee go on with several like
presentations, and say not only are these
things so, but these people are refused
the opportunity of preaching the gospel
elsewhere in North Carolina. The com
mittee then protests, in the name of an
outraged nation whose central princi
ples are liberty to worship God as con
science, may dictate; ia the name of the
M. E. Church, with her two and a quar
ter of millions of communicants, and in
the name of the common instincts of
humanity, against these outrages,
whether they be perpetrated by "masked
assassins, or by cowardly intimidators
cf cringing negroes, or false and mis
i chief-making newspapers." The com
mittee says further that they wish not
to be understood as trying to force on
any one the impossible thing called so
cial equality.
Governor's Fowle's Reply.
To the communication of the com
mittee, Governor Fowle made reply, in
which he said, among other things, that
he hoped when the committee should
realize with what ferocity they would
enforce goodness, "as you understand
it, induces me to hope that you will
heartily repent the gross injustice done
by your communication to the good
people of our much loved State.
"If Mr. Jioner was treated, as you
charge, then Justice requires that the
people who assaulted him should be
vigorously punished." and the btate
courts stand ready to do o,
"The county in which the outrage is
said to have been committed is a re
publican county, its population being
largely made up of the Quaker ele
ment, aud there is no question that the
perpetrators of the offence would have
beeu punished if Mr. Joiner had been
able to show that any one had injured
him; but unfortunately he did not do
so.
".Now, it is a fact well recognized in
this, the most law-abiding State of the
Union, that you can't punish a criminal
until he is discovered.
i I have no doubt
j that in Cincinnati you would see
the unreasonableness of attempting to
j punish a man for a crime before he was
identified. Your whole communication

A PURLIC EXECUTION.

(Special Cor. State Chronicle.)
A SCHOOLTEACHER ARRESTED.
It Created Quite an Incitement in the
Asheville Pnhlic Schools.
(Special Cor. State Cm: niclk. i
Asheville, N. C. March 17, ISO).
Qate a sensation was produced in town
last Thursday by the statement that Mr.
W. P. Chedester, proprietor of the Grand
Central Hotel, had begun criminal nrose
cutious against Mr. C. A. Webb, assist
ant principal of Orange Street School,
for alleged brutal treatment to one of
his sons. Mr. Chedester swore out a
warrant for the arrest of Prot. Webb,
but when the school board dtci Jed to
investigate the matter, the magistrate
forbade the sheriff's executing the war
rant until after the investigation.
At the meeting of the board, Mr.
Chedester charged Prof. Webb with
brutality to his son, that he had
stamped the boy in the face, knocked
his head against the door, etc.
Several witnesses were examined.
Mr. Webb stated that the boy was
very impudent to the teacher, and
was reproved. Mr. Webb approached
the boy, and placed his h and under the
boy's chin, turning the boy's face up to
his own. The boy struck at Mr. Webb
several times, hitting him one? in the
mouth. x. scuttle ensued, aud young
Chedester was overpowered. The boy
arose from the tbor and drew a knife",
for which he afterwards received a
thrashing. The Board exonerated Mr.
Webb of all blame whatever.
The hotels are still crowded, and are
daily refusing guests. There are prob-

Saturday Doctor's O'Kelley, Cotton and
Young exhumed the body of John Hor
ton, and made a thorough examination
of the skull. They express themselves
as thoroughly convinced that the blows
that iDflicted the wounds were made
by the hatchet and not by the boot-jack.
A large crowd was present and saw the
examination, and all seemed to agree
that Davis was lying about the boot
jack. This development has lessened
and almost destroyed the doubt with
regard to the killing. It now seems to
be doubtful whether the petition for a
commutation of Davis's sentence to im
prisonment for life will be sent up to
the Governor. We confidently expect
that the sentence of the law will be
carried out and that Davis will be
hanged on the 28th.
We regret that the commissioners have
ordered the execution to be public. The
lawsajs emphatically, that "the ends
of justice, public morals, and the pres
ervation of order, demand that the exe
cution of all capital offenders should bo
made iu private." The law is right; but
it is followed by a proviso that "for
reasons which may be deemed good and
sufficient, the county commissioners may
order otherwise."
Is it a "good and sufficient" reason
that there are persons who wish to see
the terrible and ghastly sight of a hu
man being launched into eternity at the
end of a rope? Do not such sights have
a hardening and brutalizing tendency?
We hope to see the press of the State,
that mighty power for correcting abuses,
speak out on this subject. Let extcu
tions be made according to law, and let
not the county commissioners take ad
vantage of the prov iso to gratify a mor
bid and hurtful curiosity.

The State Chronicle is triad to hear
of the distinguished honor that has
come unsought to Mr. V. B. Daucy, A.

a very responsible and honorable po

Station and theJAgrieultur College con

virtual tender of this place Mr. Danc-y

offer came to him without any solicita

Minnesota offer. He has in Raleigh an
t-Jgantly fitted up analytical labora
tory and is doing remarkably well
here.
Since graduation at the State Univer

himself exclusively to the study of
chemistry and kindred subjects. After
graduating he took a po.-d -graduate
course in chemistry, and in 1-b'J was
elected assistant chemist in the State
Experiment Station. For several years
he was chief analytical chemist in tin
laboratory of the U. S. Experiment Sta

open his analytical laboratory in Ra
