morning with Mrs Roosevelt and the
other members of his party to make
an examination of the Culebfa cut.
At half-past eight the presidential
train arrived at I'e<lro Wigul, where
some steam shovels were at work. At
this point in the out the peculiar
oil conditions have resulted in more
or less frequent landslides, und thi9
fact was brought to the President's
attention. President Roosevelt climbed
u|M)ii one of the steam shovels,
taking a seat alongside Engineer Gray
whom he subjected to a searching
tire of questions regarding the work.
He stayed 011 the steam shovel about
20 minutes. \
President Roosevelt told Chief Engineer
Stevens that be wanted to see
all tile works in connection with excavation,
even to the temporary laying
of trunks. With this in view they
fco^^d a work train near Pedro

Sugar Trust on the Back.
New York, Special.?The so-called
"sugar trust" or tha American Sugar
Refining Company, was brought to
trial for the first time on a charge of
rebating. Th" specific indictment
charges the corporation with knowingly
violating the Klkins law in accepting
rebates on shipments by the
New Central & Hudson Biver Railroad
Company in the spring of 1903,
amounting to $20,000. The case is
on trial before .ludge Holt of the
United States Circuit Court. For
granting the same rebates the New
York Central was convicted in the
same court. The sugar company, it
is charged, accepted the $26,000 in rebates
shortly after the passage of the
Klkins act. the shipments having
been made just before Congress passed
the law. There are several other
indictments against the company, it
is understood, also for violations of
the Klkins law.

It will be remembered that immed
iately following the fiendish* Wmies
of the negro, large parties of Asliaville
citizens tilled with a burning passion
jfor revenge of the crimes of
the npgro desperado, armed themselves
to the teeth and began a systematic
search of the neighboring
twaflps and voaatry around Ashevillf.
All through the night different |>oeses
departed and up to morning, when the
black murderer was captured and killed,
the ardor of the seurch has never
lagged for a minute. Blood hounds
were used in the chase, hut with little
effect. Different rumors eame in during
the night as to the whereabouts
/by negro, but it was tiot until
morniiig that lid was positively located*.
-The] crimes of the negro were the
most aaring and uncalled for occurring
in 'this State in many years. Without
thte least provocation the negro
emerged from a house on Valley street
loudly jproclaiming himself to be the
noted Charlotte despara<k>, and began
shooting on first sight of n man.
When an attempt was nrnde to arrest
the negro who had already killed two
negroes with his rifle and was shooting
into houses promiscumsly, by officers,

minutes to leave two dead (fleers and
