soon as his intention wau divined the
police disarmed him before he was
able to fire
At tbe police station the man ex
pressed regret that he had been una?
ble to carry out his intentions He
said : "This is an affair between me
and my conscience "
It was just a quarter past 0 o'clock,

biles where he bad been hidden He
broke through the lioe of policemen
overturning a bicycle 'officer, and
jumped upon tbe royal carriage step.
In one hand tbe man had a cane
which be raised as though to strike
bot this movemeut was only intend?
ed to bide tbe real purpose, for io
the other band he held a revolver.
Tbe attempted assassination there
came to an end, for tbe grand vizier
struck the weapon from tho man's
hand aod at the same time officers
caught his arm from bebiod and over
powered him
A crowd of 500 who witoessed
the attempted ass&ssination made a
a
rush towards tbe would be morderer

Tar Heel Democrats
Win Great Victory.
TheyJCarry the State by Over?
whelming Majority.
Charlotte, N U., Aug. 2?The
elections in North Carolina today
were for governor and Stato officers,
members of the legislature and coun
ty officers and for an amendment to
the State constitution looking to a
practical elimination of tho negro
from politics, as its adoption wouid
disfranchise the bulk of the negro
vote. By far the greatest interest
centered in the fight over the amend?
ment At today's election a great
many uegroes voted for it. The
faculty of Livingstone college at
Salisbury, one of the most prominent
negro educational institutions in the
south, voted for it The amendment
was opposed by tho fusion forces of
Populists and Republicans, headed
by Senators Butler and Pritchard,
and the campaign was the most bitter
waged in the State since reconetruc
tion days. There was a full poll of
the Democratic strength, which, com
bined with a small negro vote and
some Populist and Republican votes,
rolled up an unprecedented majority.
Returns tonight indicate that the
amendment was carried by over
40,000 majority
Spencer B Adams, fusion nominee
for governor, was defeated by Chas
B Aycock. Democratic nominee, by
fully 40,000 majority All otr?er State
officers wero elected by equal jajor
ities The legislature is Democratic
iu both branches Mecklenbr.g
county, of which Cbatiotte is the
oounty seat, gives 3,500 majority for
the county ticket. The election
throughout tho State was generally
quiet and peaceable, the negroes, as
a general thing remaining away fron*
the polls
Nearly Sixty Thousand Dem?
ocratic Majority.
Charlotte, N C , Aug 3.?A epe
cial to the Observer from Raleigh,
says : The Democrats rejoiced quiet
ly sll over North Carolina today
The returos tonight show that Demo
cratic majorities aggregate 54,678
and fusion majorities 5,125, making
the net Democratic majority 49,553
There will be contests in several
counties, there being gross irregular
ities in Randolph and Haroett and
smaller ones iu Wiikea and Chatham
In the latter county, at Congressman
Atwater's precinct, the fusion strong
hold, the fusionist8, finding they
were being out voted assaulted the
election officers, smashed the ballot
boxes and burned tho ballots This
is the only outrage which occurred
in the State yesterday, so far as
known
The returns show that to the sen?
ate there are elected 38 Democrats
and 0 fusionists, with three seats
doubtful, and to the bouse 95 Demo
crats and 13 fusionists, while 12 seats
are in doubt
x There was some talk today about
national politics This grew out of
a rumor that Senator Butler had de?
clared North Carolina's electoral vote
should be cast for McKinley Chair
man Simmons said at Democratic
headquarters tonight that tho State's |
vote wouid be cast for Bryan beyond
doubt.
Mecklenburg, Kdgecomb and Robe
Bon are tho banner counties so far as
the vote on the constitutional ameud
ment is concerned. Each gave it
3.5UO majority, New Hanover rank
iug second with 3.01S There will
be only two Populists in the logisla
lure, both from Senator Butler's
counlv
