It was stated yesterday on good authority that Maud Ke41y, the white woman arrested In Rocky Mount and brought here to stand trial on the same charge as that on which the negro hack driver William Jones was convicted and sentenced to eighteen months on the public roads, would submit and not go to trial. This news caused, considerable in terest, and It was learned shortly r- teVwards that the woman had ent h, ponce officer to the postoftlce, saving that she expected some money. 'he asserted that this money would come rrom mends whom she had at Wil son or . Rocky Mount. Who tlitte "friends" are was not divulged.

They were removed jto Hamlet about 'two years ago, al though they had previously always been In this city. They were removed by General Manager Garrett, whose management will be succeeded,' it ! is said., about the first vf July ly that of C, II. :Hix. who is to l. i true; at manaser. '. i ' The rc-establishment of these offices here would turn loose in Raleigh each month between three and five thou-: tand dollars. Division Superintendent Shea would bring with him all the dispatchers, clerks, train masters, road masters, etc.. and it would be to their personal advantage as well as to the advantage of the city for them to be in Raleigh. It fa said that the rail way is not specially benefitted by their Deing in Hamlet, and that the r.roixr inducement and interest on the part of the merchants and the Chamber of Commerce would result in the re moval of the division' offices back to Raleigh. r 1 'It S DEATH OF CAPT.

Memorial Aso elation was organized on May 23, 1866. and received by deed from th late Henry Mordtcai, a plot of land. In the eastern part of the city, thena wild, unclaimed woods, now a part of the beautiful Oakwood cemetery. From that time up. to the present the plot has been in the tender care of the Association. . Four years ago an appeal was made to the Legislature by the ladies of the Memorial Association, In which they asked that body to assist them in their noble work of beautifying and pro tecting the plot on which are buried the Confederate dead. The ladies felt sure that when it was known that they were caring for the dead from eleven States as well as those from the Confederate navy, and those from the Soldiers' Home, they would receive the appropriation asked for. The committee to whom the bill was re ferred and the Legislature voted unanimously to appropriate S250 for the first two years, annually, and $200 annually for the two years following. The suggestion .was made by sever al who favored and worked for this appropriation that a part of the amount' be donated for an entrance gate on which should be chiseled in granite an4ndex to the sacred precinct of the Dead. A meeting of the Ladies' Memo rial Association was called and reso lutions passed giving an order for the massive and elegant gate which adorns the entrance to the Confeder ate cemetery three columns of North Carolina granite and the gate -itself, a beautifully wroght work in iron, on which I Is inscribed in gold letters, "Confederate Cemetery," On the right column ia Inscribed, the following in scription: ) "Our Confederate Dead l . 930 from ' ' North Carolina.
