Jndge Press- ley sentenced him. There bas been au appeal to the Supreme Court and the appeal bas been heard, but tbe decision has not yet beeu reu> dered. As long as tbe Court has the appeal under consideration James cannot be hauged, aud as the decisiou will not be rendered until after tbe day of execution as signed, James will have to be brought before tbe Court for reseu- tence aud cannot be hanged to> morrow. The Governor has not beeu asked to interfere with tbe sentence, as «x ecu tion cannot occur to-morrow, the Court having the appeal case uuder consideration.

An Interesting Controversy. Alter tbe store recently occii pied by Messrs.

A spectre had appeared which prom* ised to cause some trouble. The lot owned by the Misses Lide ad« joins ou tbe east the Euterpr se Hotel Company’s property. The bugbear was the question “where did the line dividing the lots run f” The Hotel Company claims that the western side of the building, known as the Lide store, is the hue, while the representatives of the Misms L de claim that the store recently pulled down was partly Upon i heir lot aud that the front hne of their property exteuds about 212 f et west ol the Lide store and runs horn thence d*ag' oually back, touching the stole on its west roiQer at the rear.

He said there are now thirty* six sub organizers iu tbe State, with one superintendent.” Many delegates were present aud much business of importance was transacted. Pi of.
