BT OUR EESIDEXT COBBE8POSDEST. Raleigh, September 12, '91. Kaleigh is certainly on a building boom. A party who applied to a con tractor a few days since to build a house, was told by the contractor that he had more work than he could do, . and could not get hands enough to carry out the contracts he already had. Thi8 looks as if the demand for more houses is going to be supplied. PBETTT STOBE8. .Many of the Rnleigh stores will pre sent a handsome array before the Expo sition is upon us. Messrs. Tucker are having their front stylishly painted in olive green and gold. It is very at tractive. Messrs. Stronach are also having their front handsome painted. a NOVEirr. Mr. J. I.

It has been suggested in connection with the approaching grand musical festival at the approaching Exposition that it be made a permanent autumn festival and that it be held in Raleigh every fall. It should by all means' be done. Raleigh is itself a musical centre and would itself lend strong aid n mak ing the occasion a success. j ' THE NEW PliTTO FACTORY. The plug tobacco factory of Mr. Phil. Taylor will be 40x80 feet and four stories high, with a large basement. There will !e employed from 50 to 75 hands. The building is of wood, with brick foundation and basement. WANT MONET. Governor Holt thifc morning received a very large photograph of the Confede- which is partially erected, at Riohmond. The Governor is requested to urge the Legislature to make an appropriation for the purpose of placing a memorial stone in the monument, at a cost of something like $1,000. The Governor is interested in this, and will ask the Legislature to make provision, just as the other Southern States will do. i STILL IMPROVING. Auditor Sanderliu is getting along quite well, though slowly, being yet very sore after his terrible falltat Third creek. Country Folks Stupefied by an Ap parition on a. Roof. UcrtLiNGTON, N. J., Sept. 11. A girl sonnambulist at Springside, a suburb of Burlington, furnished a foundation for a first-class ghost story that set the whole neighborhood agog. A week or two since a boy named Gamble, passing the residence of Joel Atkinson at a lonely part of the road at a late hour, was startled by seeing a tall female form enveloped in white parading around the edge of a French roof with stately step, holding a letter in her hand. With hair ereet and bulging eyes Gamble ran home and told the harrowing tale to un believing ears. A few nights after two Asay children were frightened by a similar spectacle on the roof, and Gamble's sister, a night or two later, scurried home bleached and breathless and told of seeing the apparition sitting on the edge of the roof dangling its legs over the eaves. These tales set the parents to talking. and they, informed neighbor Atkinson of the masquerade on his mansard, and darkly hinted that his house was haunted. He pooh-poohed the story, and a watch was set. For several nights the vigil was in vaii. Last night, how ever, the supposed spook, sporting a long white garment, was seen to climb out of the dormer window and reach the . T1 . ... a. . rooi. HiVervoyay but Atkinson was frightened. He entered the house and going to the attic discovered that his domestic, a colored woman, was the mysterious occupant of the roof. Her eyes were closed, and she was fast asleep. Fearing the consequences he did not diaturb her, but waited until she returned to her room of her own accord, and then awakened her and told her of her mighty adventure. The win dow is now securely fastened. AFLOAT WITH A MADMAN.' The Thrilling Story Reported Frora an Knglish Seacoast Towni London. Sept. 5. At an early hour this morning curses and loud cries for help some distance seaward were heard at Deal, eight miles from Dover. Two local policemen immediately entered' a boat and put to sea in order to inquire inttf the mysterious cries. The police, however, had been preceded and dis tancedby two Deal boatmen, who also went to the rescue. .The boatmen found a boat of the 6hip G. L. Waters, crouch ing in the stern of which was her Cap tain, holding a little boy in his left arm, and a young sailor, both desperately de fending themselves against the attack of an athletic seaman, mad drunk, who was using his sheath knife. Upon the approach of the boatmen the drunken seaman threw the oars .over board, attacked them with a knife and refused to allow them to rescue the oc cupants of the small boat. The mad seaman beat off the boatmen, and, later on, also beat off the police who came upon the scene. The result was that the ship's was allowed to drift away in the mist and eventually disappeared. NO SMOKING ON THE TRAIN. MONEY IN A TYPE TRUST. CLAIMS HE RAISED THE DEAD. The Chief of Faith -Healers. Rev. J. A. Dowle, Announced. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. .11. A man who ssiys he can pray the dead back to life, and who claims to have done it, is to be at the Bethany Faith-Healing House, on Dentre avenue, in this city in a few days. He is Rev. John Alexan der Dowie, of Australia, who alleges that in San Francisco last year his prayers brought back to life Mrs. S. A. Kelly, of that city, -after he had personally con vinced himself that she was dead by being unable to detect either breath or pulse remaining in her body. Cancers, too, it is said, have vanished before Mr. Dowie's prayers. Loading American Founders to Com bine With $18,0000,000 Capital.. Chicago, Sept. 9.- It is reported that an $18,000,000 typefounders trust, backed by English capital, is about to be formed, with headquarters' in this city.

Sometime ago when the 3anufacturers' Record stated that the ship-yard at Newport News, Va., built by Mr. C. P. Huntington, at a cost of $3,000,000, was the finest ship-yard not simply in America but in the world, somd of our readers could scarcely believe that this was true. That Virginia had the best ship-yard in the world was to them in comprehensible. Last week Mr. Irving W.

Six hundred buildings are recorded on the books of the fire deparmentof New York as con demned." In every instance an official ship-builder, returned from a tour of inspection of all the great ship-yeards in Europe. In m interview published in the New York Press, Mr. Scott said: "I visited the great ship-yards of Ham burg, Barrow, Belfast and Glasgow that is to say, the Dutch, English, Irish and Scotch yards. They are not much ahead of the United States, except in a few praise her baby modern inventions. No one of the yards I visited is as large, complete and fault or bad habit, they have so little hope of being able to cure it that they scarcely make an effort. If some avenue of usefulness and honor opens up before them, they draw back, almost sure that they should not succeed, and decline to enter. If some duty presses urgently upon their ganscience, they try to quiet jts pronip tings by pleading inability. Thus their lives pass away in usefulness, their faculties do not develop or their characters improve, their abilities are wasted, they dwindle into insignificance, and all this, not for lack of power, but for the want of a confidence and courage that would set that power into good working order.

Three newspapar men were playing al leged billiards in the spacious billiard room of the Palmer House the other afternoon while two fellow-workers in the business looked on and made remarks about the game. The game could not stand many re marks. It was weak and halting. When, after efforts and sundry wild dabs with the cue, one of the trio would count, the .quintet would indulge in wild hilarity. But this did not happen often. The buttons were becoming fastened on the wire by rust. The play was bad. Shots were made with the best intentions in the world, but somehow the balls always rolled too far to one side or the other. Finally, after a period of futile shots, one of the onlookers said: "You fellows ought to get some one to read 'read copy on that game you re playing."
