J. Ed wards, a prominent farmer of the county, who Jiad been shot dead by the negro Davis just a few minutes before. Additional reports of the affair, received today, show that it was far more sensational than was Indicated by the first meagre Information. A. J. Edwards and Coy Edwards, another son, were a short distance from the Edwards homestead when they met the negro Davis, who had a 44- callbre Colt’s revolver strapped about his waist. The father remonstrated, saying he did not want negroes on his place armed in that manner. With out more words, the negro drew the revolver and fired, the bullet passing through « e elder Edwards' body. Then the negro struck Coy Edwards over the head and made him empty his pocket Then he forced him to turn the pockets of his father, who was fast expiring. With tho money he secured the negro then started away, after first beating Coy into a condition of lnaenslbilty. By that time Eugene Ed wards, who had been shooting birds, reached the home and his mother called to him and directed hla atten tion to the trouble she had seen at the distance. He started In pursuit of the negro, catching him Just as the negro got even with a man named Wray, who was driving a wagon. Edwards fired, the load striking tho negro, who re turned the flrse. The angro dodged the horse’s heads and Edwards behind the tail of the wagon. With Wray ducking between them, they fired as they caught sight of each other. Edwards was wounded in the face by a splinter knocked from the wagon body by one of Davifi* bullets, btit the boy kept firing and reloading, using bird shot. Not until the third load struck the negro did he reel and stagger to the road fence, whereupon the hoy ran to him and emptied both barrels of his gun into his body. Then he jumped upon the negro’s body and stamped out any life that remained. A great crowd gathered and wanted to burn the body of the negro and lynch his family. Counsel of cousins of the Edwards family prevented this, however, though the crowd was par tlcularly incensed because it was said that Davis was from Bulloch county where he had belonged to an alleged before day dug that was said to have brought about the murder of the Hodges family and the burning their home.

A great deal of the furniture was saved, to gether with moat of the paintings and practically all tho books. According to President M. T. Davis, the Missouri commission, the loss sustained by the state will only amount $20,000. This Is explained by the statement of Mr. Davis that after the World's Fair Is over the building, which is the finest state structure on tho grounds, would not bring more than $5,000. "I am happy to say that Inspection has proven that hut ten paintings of Missouri’s former governors and su preme court busts are so badly burned that they cannot bo replntod," said Mr. Davis. The lops was mostly caused by the destruction of furniture.

Then he spoke In part as follows: * President’s Speech. “It is a great pleasure to me to be present with you today to assist at the dedication of the school, hall and rec tory of this parish. I am glad indeed to have bsen Introduced, Cardinal Gib bons, by you, the spiritual representa tive in a peculiar sense of that Bishop Carroll who played so illustrious a part in the affairs of the church, and whose kinsfolk played as Illustrious a part In the affairs of the nation at the dawning of this government. In greet ing all of you I wish to say that I am especially glad to see the children present. (Cheers and applause). You know I believe In children.,1 want to see enough of them and of the right kind, (applause). “I wish today, In the very brief re marks that I have to make, to dwell upon this thought, that while in this country we need wise laws honestly and fearlessly executed, and while we cannot afford to tolerate anything but the highest standard in the public ser vice of the government, yet that In the last analysts the future of the country mush depend upon the quality of the individual home, of the indi vidual man or woman in that home, and that very largely depends upon the way in which the average boy or girl Is brought up. (Cheers and applause.) Therefore, a peculiar responsibility rests upon those whose life work It Is to see to the spiritual welfare of our people and upon those who make it their life work to try tp trsln the citi zens of the future so that they shall 1 be worthy of that future. $700,000 LOSS IN CINCINNATI FIRE Swoetness and Strength. "The rules of good citizenship are tolerably simple. The trouble Is not In finding them out; the trouble is in living up to them after they have been found out. We know fnlrly well what qualities they are which in their sum make up tho type of character we like to see in man or wife, son or daughter; but I am afraid wo do not always see them as well developed as we would like to. I wish to see in the average American citizen the develop ment of the two sets of qunlittes which we can roughly indicate as sweetness and strength—the qualities on tho one hand which mnke the man nble to hold his own, and those which on the other hnnd make him Jealous for the rights of others Just as much as for his own rights. You probably know that I do not care very much for the qoward or the« moral weakling. I wish to see In the man manliness, In the woman womnnllnoss. I wish to see courage, perseverance, the willingness to face work, to face, If It is necessary, dan ger, the determination not to shrink back when temporarily beaten In life, as each one will be now and then, but to come up ngnln and wrest triumph from defeat. I want to see you men strong men and brave men, and in ad dition I wish to see each man of you feel that to his strength and courage are Joined the qualities of tenderness toward those he loves, who are de pendent upon him, and of right deal ing with all his neighbors. American Successes. ’’Finally, I want to congratulate all of us here on certain successes that we have achieved In the century and a quarter that has gone by of our Amer ican life. We have difficulties enough, and we are a long ways short of per fection. I do not see any Immediate danger of our growing too good; there Is ample rocm for effort yet left. But we have achieved certain results, we have succeeded In measurably realis ing certain Ideals. We have grown to accept it as an axiomatic truth of our American life that the man Is to treated on his worth as a man, with out regard to the accidents of his po sition; (applause) that this Is not government designed to favor the rich man as such, or the poor man ax such, but It Is designed to favor every man. rich or poor, if he Is a decent man who acts fairly by his fellows. (Cheers and applause). We have grown to realise that part of the foun dations upon which our liberty rests Is the right of each man to worship his creator according to the dictates of his conscience, and the duty of each man to respect his fellow who so worships him. (Cheers and applause). Brotherly Love. “And. oh my countrymen, one of tho best auguries for, the future of this country, for the future of this mighty and majestic nation of ours, lies in the fact that we have grown to regard one another, that we brothers have grown to regard one another with a broad and kindly charity, and to realise that the field for human endeavor Is wide, that the field for charitable, philanth ropic. religious work Is wide, and that while a corner of it remains unfilled we do a dreadful wrong If we fall to welcome the work done in that field by every man, no matter what the creed, provided only he works with a lofty sense of his duty to God and his duty to Ms neighbor.” (Cheers and applause). »P<*ch by Commissioner MacFartaml the choir *ang America a number of hymn*.

CARDINAL GIBBONS TO THE CATHOLIC CLERGY Affairs of the Great Uni versity FUNDS SAFELY PLACED Regarding Actual Situation, Informa tion is Vouchsafed . That Money Hitherto Handled by Treasurer Ag gregates $881,000—Earnest Appeal to be Made for Aid. WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—In ac cordance with an understanding reach ed at the recent meeting of the board of trustees of the Catholic University, Cardinal Gibbons today gave to the press an official letter addressed to the Catholic clergy. The letter Is dated Baltimore, November 17th, It says that with the collection taken one month before the first Bund ay of Advent this year and with donations from various sources, the receipts of the universities for last year, apart from Its regular Income, amounted to $150,809. Of these funds. $08,743 was employed In the payment of debts, $60,000 was Investod, and the remainder was used to meet current expenses. As a result, there was no deficit last year, nor Is there at present any floating debt. The letter adds; Safely Invested, *Tho amount donated by the Knights of Columbia and not Included In the receipts mentioned above, was $69,000, This wan olso vlncsted, making a total Investment of a $100,000. Tho funds are In tho hands of finance committee appointed Inst year and composed of gentlemen who enjoy the highest repu tation for Integrity and business abil ity. The entire amount, therefore, re sulting from the collection Is absolute ly free from the complications and risks to which, an you doubtless have learned through the press, tho general endowment of tho unlversltly has re cently been exposed. “Regarding the actual situation, I deem It my duty to Inform you that the funds hitherto handled by the treasurer of tho university aggregate $881,000. The disposal of these funds In no way Involves the property of the university, Its lands, buildings or equipment. The funds themselves are protected by securities, which, It Is confidently believed will, in any equit able settlement, Insuro the university against serious loss. Regrettable Deprivation. On the other hand, pending the final adjustment of all claims now In Utlgu tlon, the university Is In large measure deprived of the revenues which have heretofore been available for Its work. liberally In supporting an Institution foundod by the American Episcopate for the common good of the clergy and laity In all our dioceses. To our non- Catholic follow rltlzens, our united ef forts in bohn'.f of a university under existing circumstances will plainly show that ,we have at heart the best interests of education and that we aro not to be thwarted by difficulties. Appeal for Funds. “As I am prepared to do all In my power to build up the university, and determined to gunrnritee It against all loss, oven at the sacrifice of II I pos sess, I* fool assured that you and your clergy will aid this sacred cause by nn earnest appeal to the generosity of the people under your charge, and by per sonal sympathy for thd work to which this collection is applied. “Tho holy futhnr, In his letter on the subject lost year, directed that this annual collection be taken up on the first Sunday of Advent, or on the first convenient Sunday thereafter.” NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS Theft of $30,000 From Forcpsugh and 8ells Bros. Still s Mystery, CHARLOTTE. N. C., Nov. 20.—A special to the Observer from Tarsboro, N. C$| says: There are no further developments regarding the theft of $30,000 In cash from the ticket wagon of the Fore- pnugh-Hnlls circus early Saturday morning. A special train to carry the J mploye* of tho show to Richmond nr- Ived here about 4 o’clock this ufter noon, and It 1s said that It brought money with which to pay off the at taches of tho show. Full settlement with the employes Is expected to be made tonight. Three trains carrying the circus to winter quarters at Co lumbus, Ohio, will leave about 1 o’clock In the morning, and about the same time a special passenger train will take the employes to Richmond. The man and woman arrested last night In connection with the robbery have been released from custody* Their effects wero searched but no trace of the missing $30,600 was found. Up to this time the authorities seem to be without the faintest clew as to the whereabouts of the money or i>eop)e who made awRy with It. The circus people have practically taken the case out of the hands of the Tarboro police and are depending upon their own re sources to handle the matter.
