Hampton, Oct. 30.—The fall term of court of general sessions convened here Monday morning, October 27, with Judge George W. Gage presiding. The case that has attracted most at tention, generally, at the present term is that of J. F. Walker and Ben Walker, charged with the murder of J. B. Har ter, chief of police of Ailendale, at Lena, on Sunday afternoon, August 31. Very soon after a true bill was returned, counsel for the defendants made a mo tion for a continuance of the case, which motion was overruled, and the case set for trial Thursday morning. On Thursday morning again counsel made a motion for a continuance upon the grounds that a very material wit- | ness was absent, and could not he had i at this term, and because defendants j could not get a fair and impartial trial , at this term of court on account of the fact that public sentiment is unduly strong against them by reason of news papers having published the State's side of the case and not the defendants’ The court overruled this motion. Then cyunsel moved to quash the jury venire, which motion, after hearing n ad aq affidavit of George Warren and an e\ ammation of the clerk of court by Mr Gunter, grant'-d by the court The large crowd of people * ho fried the court house to os< rfl<o*ing ‘-hnwi-d I f..r • . < r\ i«. 1) n ho’ I fV« ThurMUy C*w»*d a Lo»» of Sa**r al Huodrad Dollar* Th«-bru k building ow nrd b> M- h Kj an and used by M- ^ M dri a* a bakery was vumj ;rtr atroyrd by fire Thursday morn rq grther with it* run!.m* A hm discovered *l>out v.v o < k* a fir*- had mada very htt,.- head tt i» said that with »uff.- *en» roo d have been under complete con tro*e in ■ few minutes The nrarneaa of a hydrant, however furnished an abundance of water and the gvaid wora of the volunteer fire brigade prevented the spread of the P-amrs to adjcwn.ng buddings The t^kery 1* sftuated a! the rr«' and adjoining the Stores erected v- v r's jrt * s ago by the late («>.<» K K » a r. whH-h are m the hear* ..f c..

Mexico City, Nov. 3.—President Hu erta has been told he must resign the presidency of Mexico without loss of time and that he must not leave as his successor Gen. Aureliano Blanqdet, his minister of war, or any other member of his official family or of the unofficial coterie whom he might be expected to control. This ultimatum from Wash ington was conveyed to President Hu erta through his private secretary, Sen- or Rabago, by Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the American charge d’ affaires, acting under instructions from the state de partment. Senor Rabago late Sunday presented the meomrandum to his chief but up to this evening President Huerta had re turned no answer, and as far as could be learned had guarded its contents from almost all his official and intimate counsellors. Muat Ckooaw Couraw. Those who learned of the Washington note regard Gen. Huerta’s position as one in which he would be forced togire one or two answers—point blank re fusal to comply with the demand, pos sibly going so far ss to hand the diplo matic representative his passports, or the official elimination of himself. Those most Intimate with the presi- I drnt inaiat that the latter course will not hv* taken for many reasons, chief among which is that such action would Im- tantamount to tubmipion to the re- bri* i iff i< ulI Mexico no longer tain doubt that the Washington administra tion favor* the conatituttonaiist cat and it convinced that this is the adopted by lYrwftdent Wuaon sad reiary Bryan to assist Carrmnza to TAMMANY OVERWHELMED; DEMOCRATS HOLD F0«T5 WAS WELL REftESENTID ftu*L«e 1 I tw t >•> I* J . •• r-% • * 'A J' iftt >a ft.- • r ,* ft i t r fr. tka J , l-TV.
