Charleston, S. April of the Baker family Jn the federal court today told a harrowing story, of how Postmaster Baker and child were killed at Lake City and their dwelling burned. The 4tsory m.ole'r deep impression. Tomorow the prosecution wiji attempt I to connect the prisoners with the crime. There was a sensation today when the attorneys for the defense objected to a witness, what was one of the lynch ers who turned stale's evidence, on the ground that he was incompetent.

They base the claim dn-the fact that he has since been, convicted on a charge of rob bery, butthe claims the charge was trumped up to prevent his testifying; The iudere will render his decision tomorrow. There are mow only eleven defendants before the court District Attorney La- thfdp announced jesterday morning that the case would be nol pressed by the government -is to Joseph P. New- ham and Early P. Lee. These menad- mitted that they were members of the mob which sent Baker out of the world, They turned state's evidence and es caped by that means, and the govern ment proposes to use them as itstwo eading witnesses.

Among the are three young soldiers, wearing their, uniforms, Webster, Stokes and McKnight are the oldest members, and one of the Rodgers boys is quite a young chap. The pris oners do not appear to be concerned about the way the trial would go. At the opening cf the trial District Attorney Lathrop stated the case that the government expects to prove as fol lows: 1 'The indictment charges that the de fendants entered into an agreement to injure one Frazier B. Baker, postmaster at the town of Lake City; that he was obnoxious to the parties, so that they determined to be rid of him, and on the morning of February 22, 1898, this party went to the a small building" which had been previously used as a school house, just outside of the town limits. This little building, with only one door, warf used by Baker as dwelling and one corner was partition ed off for a postoiTice.

Baker and his family, consisting cf a wife and six children, were -n 'he house that night The party set fire to the building from. the rear side, opposite the end from the door. We charge that these parties ar ranged themselves around the front side of the building, and after the fire got to burning well they began shooting in to the building with -guns and rifles. Some bullets oenetrated the building, which was a small board affair. Out of eight persons in the house six were either killed or wounded from bullets.

Baker, the postmaster, and his youngest child were killed and their bodies remained there and were burned beyond recognition, so that it was impossible to tell 'whether they were shot or burned to death. We will show you that they 'were 3hot and believed to be dead before the mob left the building. "Under section1 5.5CS there is a general charge of conspiracy to injure Baker because he had a- position under.Tthe government. Under the section prescribing the punishment the defendants committed an act of murder, in that they killed, and ai son bec ause they 'set fire to the house, and committed assault with Intent to kill on four of the members of the. family who were wounded! The wife and two daughters were shot through the arm and the son was shot through the arm and in the stomach.

Now tliere are several counts linger that section" covering different phases, but the defendants are charpd with having, plotted to remove Baker, and they carried it "out by burning and shooting."

LONG DISTANCE 'PHONES. Asheyille Kay be Connected in the Near Future. In the next few days Charlotte will be connected with the outside world by long distance telephones. StatesyluV Is connected with Charlotte and will therefore enjoy equal advantages. The short distance between AsheviUe and Statesville is probably responsible for the current report that this city would have connection with lonjar dis- tance telephones within the next few" weeks.

Special Agent Lawson, of the B-'1 company, was tuformed ot the prevalent talk, but beyond looking wise would give but little information. "There is certainly a demand for them here among tho many visitors," he condescended to ssy, "and I have ro doubt my company is aware of this, but Oh, well, that is all I care to say about it." "But are we goinsr to have long distance connections in the next few weeks?" was urged. Agent Lawson hesitated- a moment, then In very knowing manner answered, "Look out for a surprise. That's all I will say." NUSIC AND DANCING AT THE OAKS. At the request of Mr.

Para eon Pharmacy. DR. PRESTON'S INVITATION Anxious to put Hia Treatment to the Test. THINKS OTHER PHYSICIANS WHO HAVE SPECIAL REMEDIES SHOULDI BE? WILLING TO DO THE SAME. Dr.

Preston does not wish to be antagonistic, but he still insists that the medical profession, and all Interested in finding a cure for consumption, assist him In bringing about this I st. There are scores of people In who can, ill afford to pay out the amounts which they are daily giving for treatments Which only temporarily relieve. The doctor is anxious to put his treatment to the test, and other physicians who have remedies of their own discovery should be willing fe do the same if they really have faith themselves in their ability to perform cures. The doctor's perseverance trying to bring the test before the people is ample proof of his sincerity. A number of the physicians iif this city would like to see the test made, aad it is to be hoped that they will assist in the matter.

Dr. Preston's patients and those who have been patients, but are now recovered, are all not only willing but anxious to answer alii Inquiries, as they, "better than anyone, know the benefit to be derived from his treatment. The names and addresses of these persons will be gladly given or the patients can be seen at the office. Offices Sondley building. SCIENCE.

With the democrat'c ticket nominat ed the republicans have nad an oppor tunity to mature their plans.
