port the motion for a new; trial for the
seven, condemned anarchists nave been
filed by their attorneys. The usual plea
is entered that the verdict is not sup
ported by evidence, and it is also urged
that the counsel for the State employed
a forth of argument which was calculated
to prejudice the jury. The chief point
urged, however, is a story telegraphed
from Indianapolis shortly after the con
clusion of the trial, to tbe enect that a
man entered a drinking saloon in that
city, one or two days before the Hay
market masacre, and exhibited a satchel,,
Intimating that a slaughter would occur
in Chicago in a few days. The theory
of the defense is that this mysterious
stranger had a quantity of dynamite
bomb nd that be is the person
who in all likelihood threw the bomb
into the ranks of the police.

'?; NATB8 A GCTBKH0B.
Trsntoh, N. J., Sept. 28 The dele
gates to the democratic State convention,
including those who passed the night on
the street, were astir early this morning
and the caucusing of the twenty-one coun
ties began about 10 o'olock. Exoiting
meetings were the rule. There are 638
dlegates. Hon. Geo. Duryea, of New
ark, offered a resolution eulogistic of
the late Samuel J. Tilden. It was
unanimously- adopted. Allen McDer
mott was chosen permanent chairman.
He made a rattling speeoh, in which he
declared that the great issues of the
campaign are the questions of equal tax
ation and the rights of labor to protec
tive legislation.
The following are the platform and
resolutions: "The democrats of New
Jersey, in convention assembled, de
oiare that We reamrm the doctrines de
clared in the national platform of the
party, adopted at Chicago in Chicago in
1S84- That we endorse the administra
tion of President Cleveland and con
gratulate the country upon the success
which has attended the efforts of the
democratic party to reduce the cost of
tie government and the burdens of tax
ation. We express our grief at the
death of the many great Americans
who have been called from life and the
country since our last convention and
w6 pay the tribute of our sorrow
to! the memories of Grant," McClellan,
Seymour, Hendricks and Tilden. That
iff the death of Mr. Tilden the people
hive lost a -sincere friend and devoted
statesman; that the national grief which
accomDanied his bodv to the tninh nn.
trusted with the general contemot enter-
tfcieea ior nis competitor in the presi
dential election of 187Q, and attests the
love of the .American people for the
principles of right and justioe and their
abhorrence of fraud. A high tribute was
paid to Gov. Abbett and the platform
continues: We demand that the laws
governing importation shall be so
amended and enforced as to absolutely
prevent the importation of convict and
pauper labor.; The interest bearing
dbt of the United States should be
reduced whenever the surplus in the
treasury can be used for that purpose.

Idle dollars discourage honest hands.
W chUd U entiUed-to fair4 education

The failure of
the renublican nartv to
a-?ep pledges in oute matters is de
nounced. : The democratic party sym
pathises with the worklngmon of th
eiuntry and recognises the justioe of
tteir complaints against invidious leg
islative distinctions which have been
made in favor of -consolidated capital
and we submit that the record of the
democratic party supports its claim to
the protection of the workings: en and
women of the United States.

as follows: Robert S. Green, C. E
Hendrickson, Rufus Blodgett, JohnW.
Westoott, John Hopper, John Mc
Gregor, David 0. Dodd, Andrew Al
bright and Augustus W. Cutler. There
was much confusion and excitement.
On the first ballot Robert 8. Green was
naminated, receiving .365 votes. The
nomination was made unanimous and the
convention broke up. There was no
speech-making and presentation of the
candidate, the assemblage being too ex
cited for anything of the kind. It was
the most stormy convention over known

men ies in charge were nearly all mod

provoked at this predominance in the
case of such a conspirator as Barbes,
whom they regarded as one of their
creed, snd attempted to control the
demonstration themselves. In this they
were resisted by the oommittee, who
were assisted by the police. The revo
lutionists gathered reinforcements and
made an open fight for the control of
the situation. With red flags flying, they
assaulted the enclosed site, breaking
down barriers, tnmpling over women
and children and driving the moderatists
and their police allies away from the

It was from north to south and shook
nearly all the houses in j the city, the

effect of making people more nervous, in I
view of Wiggins prediction for tomor

keep up for an 'indefinite time and there
is nothing alarming in the recurrence of
shocks. Barring the shock today the
city is quiet; and the work of repairing

Washisqton, D. C, Sept. 28. Al
though no one in Washington, unless
it be the President, is authorised to
speak for Mr. Manning on the subjeot,
it is generally understood that he will
soon resume his duties at the head of
the treasury department. Mr. Cleve
land, it is said, has received such an as
surance from him. When the President
asked the secretary of the treasury to
take a leave of absenoe and a long rest,
beforedetermining whether or not he
would continue in office, Uotober 1 was,
by agreement between them, fixed as
the day when the question should be
taken up. It was not said that Mr.
Manning must be prepared to assume
tbe duties of the office that day. lie
will not take his plaee at the head of the
department that day, but it is thought
by those who ought to know that he
will be found at his desk as soon as rea
sonably oool weather sets in. His physi
cians have advised him not to return to
Washington while there is a possibility
of a hot spell,, and he will follow their
advice. When he does return to his
office it is certain that Mr. Manning
will not undertake to work as hard as
in the past. Ho will be relieved by his
assistants, as far as possible, of the
merely routine work, and he will find
that the demands upon his strength will
not be so great as formerly.

family, ranging rroin two to six years
old, went out Sunday afternoon to play
near the house. A large pine tree had
been blown down, and they were play
ing around in a hole made by the roots
of the tree being torn up. The after
noon passed and at night the children
were missed. The parents instituted a
searoh and soon found them lying near
the roots of the fallen tree. The two
younger ones were dead and the eldest
was in a dying condition. Upon inves
tigation it was found that the children
had all been bitten by a rattlesnake,
which had made its den under the roots
of the tree. Their bodies were terribly
swollen, and looked as if they had been
bitten in several different places. The
eldest child died during the night and the
three innocents were buried together.

It seems to me that in the discussion
of the water question there are but
three points for our consideration:
First, purity; second, quantity; third,
cost. As to the first. To any ono ac
quainted with Raleigh and its surround
ings, .. : these two facts appear: I he
streams near the eity all flow east; and
consequently all the drainage from Ral
eigh . is to the east Henee only the
streams cast of a line running north and

to the drainage into it from Cary and

House's creek. A short distance below
the major's pond, and not more than five
or six hundred yards. House's creek be
comes very much increased in volume
by the inflow of five or six strongMhw
ing spring brandies, no one of which
has its souroe more than three or four
hundred yards from the point whoro it
mingles its waters with those of Hbuso's
creek: From a point on House's creek
where water, it would seem in suffi
ciency for all of Raleigh's needs fir a
quarter of a century may be obtained, to
the souroe of any stream which is s
feeder, the distance cannobe more than
a hair mile.
Another fact in this connection : The
whole arable land on House's creek and
its tributaries to the point named ii not
in exoesB of 150 acres. No drainage
infects these waters.
As to purity and quantity they may
be found here. Cost what of it? We
are informed that at a point about one
fourth of a mile towards Raleigh
from 'the location on House's creek
above mentioned, the elevation i.
nearly thirty feet higher that
the dome of the oapitol. bo ali
that would be necessary to secure water
for any portion of the city would be to
pump the water to some receptacle at
the greatest elevation, and by its own
weight, without any extra or artificial
a a . a a a
means, which are always costly and lia
ble to get out of repair, our p ople
would: have an abundance of the purest
and Cheapest water.
Time may be of the essence in many
oonoerns, but what our people need,
and what should be furnished to them,
is abundant water, pure and ebeap. Nc
consideration of irregularity or trouble
should prevent the accomplishment ol
this bhiefcst purpose. Raleigh.

vers hurtful and unwholesome smew-

1 he Great Deris Circus.
From Boston Sunday Globe.
The people of BoBton and vioinitj
have just had four day and night circus
entertainments that can beolassed as the
best ever given here. The J . B. Doris
Airrtna exhibited to large audienoea at
East Boston, Charlestown, Chelsea and
Cambridge, and gave the best oircus
r erformanoe ever given in those towns.
James Robinson rode bare-backed horses
in
a most surprising, masterly and ar
tistic manner and proved that the title
Champion," as printed on the bills, is
rightfully his. Miss Katie Stokes is a
wonderful rider and surpassed even tne
expectations of the publio by her olever
performances, livery act was gooa,
everv artist perfect, we oouio name
none without praising tnem. xne per
;... . . . i mi
formances gave better satisfaction than
any oircus Boston has had in years. It
should be well reoeived for it is in every
way worthy of it. The menagerie is
also well worthy of mention, possessing
strange and fine animals seldom seen in
traveling exhibitions. Space forbids
detailed mention, and we must cot fine
ourselves to saying that the animals,
the tumbling, the riding, the bicycling,
the aerial acts, and in short the whole
exhibition, is first-class in every partic
ular. Doris' o irons will exhibit in Ra
leigh Friday, Ootober 1.
