THE STATE CAPITAL WHAT IS TRANSPIRING IX ABOUT RALEIGH. AND Klrctrlc Street Car Line Progressing Rapidly Free Scholarships at the Grand Old University Miscellaneous. BY OVB. EESIIEST COBBESPOXDKST. Raleigh, X. C, August 1, '91. Hon. W. H. Lucas, State Oyster and Fish Commissioner, was in Raleigh a few days ago in conference with Gov. Holt with regard to taking some steps to protect the ovster interests of the State. Commissioner Lucas stated as a result of the consultation that it would be the object of the commission and of the State authorities to hold all the nat ural oyster grounds of the State for the benefit of those directly interested in the catching of oysters, and no stone will be left unturned to accomplish that end. It is proposed to exhaust all the powers of the State if necessary to pre vent the monopoly of the oyster grounds and the taking of the public oyster beds by private parties in direct violation of the law. Commissioner Lucas, states that this has become a great evil and tliat some of these parties have succeed ed in acquiring oyster beds till many of the natives have no grounds in which to take oysters by which they make their living, was decided also to institute suit to convert these oyster beds back to the State. ELECTRIC STREET CAB LINE. The track of the electric street car hue is being pushed toward the Exposi tion Grounds with great haste and there is a scene of " activity all along the line. It showed the good sense and wisdom of the management ' when they placed the track along the right side of the street, leaving a broad drive, instead of splitting the street and having two poor drives on each side. There are about seventy-five hands at work. The hill near the Expo sition Grounds is -being graded down before the truck is laid. FREE SCHOLARSHIPS. The University Alumni have estab lished a large number of free scholarships at the University. Young men of talent and character who need help in getting an education and who can furnish refer ences as to their needs and merits may obtain assistance by applying to Presi dent Winston at Chapel Hill. Early application is desirable. Papers in each county are requested to copy this notice for the benefit of deserving young men everywhere. The University also offers free tuition to all young men intending to preach and to the sons of preachers of all de nominations. MISCELLANEOUS. & ! a mineral spring, said to possess splendid qualities, especially in cases of dlesborough, Ky., to build an iron-mak-kidney affections, has been discovered iuc town; the organization of a $1,000,000 on the site of the Caraleigh cotton mills just south of the city. Mr. P. Linehan. one of our leading contractors, made the w - w discovery and has been using the water ted for the week tha indicate the ten for a week or so. He savs he has re- dencv of capitalists to be on the lookout eeived great benefit from it. There are already at least twenty pri vate families preparing to take boarders during the Exposition. These, with the several hotels and boarding houses now here, will furnish ample accommodations for all that come. Extensive arrangements are on foot for a full representation of the Raleigh firemen at the Durham tournament, e wimencing August 25. m, . ... xnere are several parties here irom a distance looking after space for exhibits at the exposition. There are also hun- dreds of applications on file for the priv- ilege of restam ant stands, etc. These will undoubtedly rent high. FRANCE ANU RUSSIA Exchanging Conrtesles on Board Russian Flag Ship. St, Petersburg, July 30. The officers visiting the French squadron were en tertained at dinner last evening by Grand Duke Alexis on board of the Rus sian flag sliip Asia. The greatest cor diality prevailed. Extremely friendly telegrams have been interchanged by the Czar and President Carnot since the visit of the former to the French fleet. Naverro Nremia to.day declares that it is not for the triple alliance and for the British premier, , but for France and Russia to dictate their will to Europe, i CANNIBALS EAT FIFTY PEOPLE. Natives Who Were Friendly to Euro peans the Victims. LoxiKix, July 31.

Fierce Competition Between Magis trates to Tie. the Bridal Knots. Jetfersoxvtlle, Ind., July 30. The majority of this town's population of 12,000 people are fed and clothed by means of the brisk marriage business that is carried on. This is a veritable mamage factory. Liouisville, liy., is just opposite the Ohio River, and as all railroads in that State lead to Louisville, all elopers find their way to that city. But Kentucky justice demands a mature age for marrying, hence the elopers come to this town. Magistrate Krigivin and Magistrate Hall have for a long time been in a cnt rate war for hitching the bridal couples. Each has fited up elegant parlors near j the ferry slip, and each sends out drum- I mers to run in trade for then. Yesterday Thomas Shaver and iary Duncan landed and were at once pounced upon by the rival drrrmmers. The usual price for marrying a couple, including witness fees, is $5. t But these zealous drummers began to cut rates, and at last Krigivin's man carried the pay by offering to do the ceremony for notliing. The other magistrates in the city are up in arms and have declared a general boycott against him. Wise Capitalists Making Heavy Invest ments. The Janufacturers' Record of July 25 says : Shrewd financiers who recognize the fact that the time to make investments is during periods of depression caused by monetary stringency, and who also ap preciate" the facts that this country has not stopped growing, and that industrial development, instead of being overdone, is still in its infancy, as compared with what the future will show, are quietly laying their plans for important opera tions. Their wisdom will be seen when activity returns, for then their enter prises will be all ready to take advantage of prosperous times. The movements of capitalists in this direction are illustrated by reports in the Jannfacturers' Record of the pur chase for immediate development of 25,000 acres of iron and timber land .near New Castle, Va., at an advance of 200 per cent, over the price which it sold for last September; the decision of the owners, of about 70,000 acres near the same place to commence its active development and to construct a ten-mile railroad for this purpose; the sale of 6,000 acres of iron ore property near Fredericksburg, Va., the purchase of the Columbia (S. C.) canal for $250,000 by New England capitalists, who will utilize its great water-power by building cotton mills, etc.; the purchase of 600 acres of land near Baltimore by Pitts burg manufacturers, who will build a manufacturing town; the lull organiza tion rf n. ft3.n00.000 company at New Birmingham, Texas, composed largley of English capitalists interested in Mid- mining compaany to operate at Liano, t.hfi ereat Bessemer ore center of Texas. - o These are a feV of the big things repor foreood investments despite financial stringency. Among other enterprises reported in this week's issue of the Janufacturers Record is a $1,000,000 salt company in Kentucky; a cotton mill at Charlotte, N, C; an $89,000 contract for water works engines at Savannah; an $80,000 rolling mill and cotton tie company at Denison, Texas; aOO.OOO sale cf phosphate laud Florida; an increase of $500,000 in the capital stock of gas and water works company at Jacon, Ga., for enlarge ments $500,000 phosphate company in Florida; a $50,000 woolen mill com pany in Texas and a $100,000 lumber company in the same State; a $200,000 coal company in West Virginia; a $75, 000 improvement company at Florence, S. C. and a $30,000 company at Ral eigh, N. C, S500.000 voted for, public improvements at Knoxville, Tenn., a $1,000,000 construction company ; in West Virginia; a $100,000 improvement company in Janchester, Va; one of $50,- 000 in Basic City, Va., and one of $40,- 000 in Louisville, Ky.; $25,000 water works in Brunswick, Ml.; a $25,000 ttonsp1-oil mill company in Texas large fire-brick works in South Carolina For a midsummer week, with Europe and America puzzled over financial mat ters, tliis summary shows a really re markable degree of activity in Southern development, and indicates what may be expected this fall and winter with a return of confidence to the business world. Amen Rasi, a handsome Chris tain Assyrian who is now lecturing in this country says that men in his country live on six cents a day, women are sold as slaves to work with oxen at the plough. In Damascus, he says, there are 150,000 Christians, 130,000 Mahometans and 5,000 Jews. There is in it a building haunted- by John the Baptist's ghost. The door of the room in which he is said to have been beheaded is never opened. The Mahometans say that once long ago some one opened it and the Baptist's blood flowed out over the oity to a depth of five inches. Baltimore Sun. A BOY'S TERRIBLE RIDE. Nine-Year-Old Joe Keene Brassed Two Miles. CovrsGTON, Ky., July 3L Nine-year- old Joe Keene raced with death to-day and won. He and his father were riding in a two-wheeled sulky. The horse umped and threw Mr. Keene out. Joe fell backward, his foot catching in the seat. The horse ran two miles, drag ging the boy to Latonia race course, across the tracks of the C. and O. and Kentucky Central Railroad. At the Latonia gates the boy got loose. The Coroner and hundrepa of people went out to view the remains, and they met the boy coming in. Ha had few clothes on; very little skin on his bock, and the back of his head was raw, bat otherwise he was not injured.' He said the dust hurt his eyes. The doctors say he is all right. Just Over From Paris. Three hundred thousand tons of veg etables were brought into the city of Paris last year, and their value reached the amount of $25,000,000. The custom of distributing costly souvenirs among the dancers at sotil liuns has been abandoned in Paris. Ladies are given bouquets and gentle men buttonhole ornaments. The Paris gar con has 'Von in the struggle for his mustache; and the result is that the restaurants are now manned jy a fierce looking band resembling dragoons moro than waiters. The Eiffel tower is the largest clock tower in the world, owing to a gigantic clock installed on the second platform. Experiments with the now pendulum will be made to visible demonstrate he motion of the earth. The Ambigu theater in Paris has been eased for $40,000 to a woman Mme. Zulma Bouffar. a favorite burlesaue actress. This is not tl first time French theaters have had women direc tors. Sarah Berhardt has ruled the Ambigu and Jme. Ugalde held the Bouffes. No Left-Handed Stem-Winders. A left-hauded darky bought a stem- winding watch from one of our young men. After having the whtch in his possession for several days he brought it back to him, saying that it was no good, as it would not run in spite' of all his persistent efforts to wind it up. The young man, after examining the watch, turned the stem, and the watch at once began ticking. The negro could not for the lif e of him understand why the thing would not run for him, though he had been so faithful in winding it up. The inquiring mind of the young man, to the astounding ba wilderment of the darky, told him the trouble, which was that no left-handed nigger could run a stem-winder. With his left hand he had been turn ing the wrong way all the time. He went home firmly convinced that his watch would ignore his left hand e"vry time, and it would only run when mani pulated by a man using his right hand. Something Wrong. There is something wrong when a Christian begins to admire his own piety. There is something wrong when a preacher is never convicted by his own preaching. There is something wrong when pa rents have no influence oser their chil dren. There is something wrong when a wife does not believe in the religion of her husband. There is something wrong when a church member has to go to the theater for enjoyment. There is something wrong when a church does not more than half pay its preacher. There is something wroDg with the professor who is never seen at prayer meeting. There is something wrong with the people who never offer the Lord a sacri fice that has any blood in it. There is something wrong with the religion that does not get into the hearts of men and make them love one another. There is something wrong with the father who will tie up his dog at night and let his boy run the streets. There is something wrong with the mother whose daughters never confide to her any of their secrets. There is something wrong with the people who leave their politeness and religion all behind them when they travel. There is something wrong with the preacher who never has anybody feel uncomfortable under his preaching. There is something wrong with the Christian whose religion never attracts any attention outside the class meeting- There is something wrong with the people who never do anything- unselfish, to try and help other people. Ram's Horn. KILLING OFF THE BABIES. A Sensation That Shakes Up Kansas City Folks. Kansas Cxtt, Mo., July 31. What bids fair to be a great sensation was un earthed here last night. The Children's Orphans' Home, a founding asylum run by charitable women, has as matron Mrs. Henks, a widow. In the home are always from fifteen to twenty-fire infants from a week to a year old. Tot sometime it has been noticed that funerals were nnnsually frequent, and neighliors began an investigation. It was then found that during the past two months eighteen unfortunates had died, and during the eighteen days pre ceding July 13 fourteen babies had per ished in the extremely hot weather. Further inquiries revealed that only two women, one at night laid oneby day, assisted Mtb. Henks in caring tor all the babies. The little ones were never given light or fresh air, and were never removed from their cradles. Mrs. Henks bought one gallon of rajlV in the morning and one at nigt, diluted it with water and fed the mixture to the in fants. The gravest charges of cruelty and neglect are made against the matron, and official investigations are demanded. A BRAKEMAN BEWITCHED. But He Seems to Have as Many Lives as a Cat. Bripgetojt, N. J., July 31. Brake man Garrett Estell seems to bear a charmed life. Last Saturday he met with his fifth accident during four years service on the New Jersey Central rail road. He was thrown from the cow catcher of a rapidly moving freight en gine and was rolled over and over under the engine. Taken up for dead, a close examination disclosed a bruised knee and a sprained ankle as his only in juries. Once Estell fell from the top of his' train and eight cars . passed over him. He has been bruised and cut and had an ankle and an arm broken. He declares that he is bewitched by a woman at Red Bank who has the "evil eye." This last accident, he says, is a warning, and he will never work another day on the rail road. ON HIS KNEES INi COURT. A Young Man Pleads for His Bride's Return. , New York, July 31. The unusual spectacle was presented in the Supreme Court Chambers last Saturday of a young man kneeling before his bride and imploring her to say good-by to him. Albrecht Bauer is 23 years old, and on July 22 he and Annie Weyman, who is only 18, were married. ! As soon as the wedding ceremony was over the bride went home and has since refused almost to look at her husband; The matter was taken into Court by the young man, for he wanted his young wife very badly. But Annie said; "I will never live with you gain." Then Albrecht got down on his knees and begged her at least to bid him good-by. She even refused this little mite of com fort, and the broken-hearted young man went away weeping. Chat From Over The Sea. Rev. Charles Spurgeon seems to bo recovering.

He wafe a member of the Farmers Alli ance and a oommunicant of the Baptist church. Charlotte News. sundry reading. When. ' When a man is where God wants him to bey everything the . devil does against him only helps him. When you are tempted and discour aged, look unto the psalms and see what God was to David. When we remember that God gave his Son to die on the cross for each one of us, how dishonoring it is to Him to doubt that He will hear us for anything for which we can go to Him with one of His own promises. , When the Christian does not love lus neighbor as himself he does not love God .with all his heart. When we set about pleasing God in earnest it is not hard to do so. - - When we forget the past goodness of God it is impossible for Him to be to us what He wants to be in the present moment. When the sinner sees how vile his own heart is, he hasn't another word to say about the hypocrites in the church. When a man's walk does not corres pond with his talk, he helps the devil every time he claims to be a Christian. "When he shall appear we shall bo like him, for we shall see him as he is." Ram's Horn. Wrong to Worry. Worry hurts us more than work; and as Christians we have no right to bo tho victims of worry, anxious care, depres sion and forebodings. Instead of com plaints, let us try supplications; instead of brooding over difficulties, let us tell them to J esus, hud sprod out our needs within "the -presence-chamber of the Almighty," where alone peace and strength abide. Snme Christian peo ple appear to hold that we are invariably bound to be stoical, and express on sor row or regret whatever, because God chooses all; but He who was all human as well as all-divine knows tliat the floods overwhelm us sometimes, and that when we seem in the lowest depths, I dare no more fret than curso or swear. Wesley. A golden thread of gospel grace runs through tiie whole web of the Old Tes tament. Henry.1 That which was bitter to endure may be sweet to remember. A righteous act strengthens the in ward principle of holiness. To win, work and wait but work a good deal more than you wait. Rural Wonders.
