The regular announcement of this
beautiful opera appears in our adver
tising columns this morniug. We have
already announced that the box sheet
was open at Lee, Johnson & Co's drug
store, and we are pleased to see that
the seats are being promptly taken.
Everything promises well. The opera
has been thoroughly rehearsed and
will be handsomely put on the stage.
The costumes are being elaborately
gotten up, especially those of the la
dies. In this connection, we are re
quested to say, that at the first meet
ing of the company a resolution was
adopted that all the characters should
pay for their own costumes, and with
a few unavoidable exceptions, of Small
moment, this rule has been scrupu
lously adhered to. There is no free
list except the usual number of com
plimentary tickets to the press. There
will not be a dollar of expense beyond
what is necessary to put the opera
properly on the stage. Beyond this,
every dollar goes to St. John's Hospi
tal. This ought to -fill every seat in
the hall. For the opera itself noth
ing remains to be said. We have re
frained from printing the names of
the ladies and gentlemen who will ap
pear, but it may safely be said that
such an assembly of beauty and tal
ent has seldom been Been on an ama
teur stage. We speak of the ladies,
of course, especially as to the beauty.
The gentlemen may blow their own
trumpet. We predict, a brilliant
success ana a handsome addition to
the funds of the hospital.
The Scbool.
All the graded schools of the city
will open tomorrow. The session
opens with increased facilities for
classifying grades and imparting in
struction by the addition of the hand
some new school building just com
pleted on torth Person street. The
attendance of pupils will doubtless be
larger than ever before, but. so many
will .not be Been at morning and even
ing on Fayetteville street as hereto
fore, for many who have been
attending the Centennial school
will be transferred to the Mur
phey school. The hew building is
not owned by he city, but was built
for the purpose to which it will be
put, by Dr. W. J. Hawkins and Gol.
A. B. Andrews from whom it is leased
by the Raleigh school committee.
The lease is for twenty years at a
rental of $900 a year. During this
time the buildings and premises
are to be kept in thorough order and
repair by the owners, .though all
damage to windows, locks, &a, must
be paid for by the committee on the
part of the city. The city however,
will not repair damage caused by
lightning, fire or any act of Provi
dence. 1 The city has the option to
purchase the buildings and lot at any
time during the lease at a price agreed
upon by the owners and- the commit
tee, uad if they cannot . aeree, the
matter will be referred to an arbitra
tion committee of three whose de
cision shall ba binding. In case the
buildings are at any time destroyed
by fire or any act of Providence, or
without default on the part of the
lessees! the contract of lease ahall
cease at once, unless the buildings
are immediately replaced in such con
dition as they were before the acci
dent; but the lease does not require
the replacing of the buildings.

, Mr. J. L. Ludlow, civil engineer,
who was selected as an expert by the
water works committee to make an
examination of the water works for
the purpose of ascertaining if all the
requirements of the contract had
been complied with, has completed
his report. It states that every thing
is in the mo3t complete order and
condition and that every item in the
contract is complied with that the
system of works is a splendid ore
and that it will at any time do more
than is required of it. The report
will be officially presented at a meet
ing of the board of aldermen which
will probably be held tomorrow night
for the purpose of considering the
same.
Trivial ! Frivolous Cane in Court.
The grand jury for the present
term of Wake county superior court
yesterday presented to the presid
ing judge a memorial protesting
against the introduction of various
cases of a trivial and frivolous charac
ter itc. in the Superior courts of the
State. The memorial will doubtless
express the opinions of" many and
meet popular approval. It reads as
follows:
The Hon. Ja. II. Murrimon, J'm-
siding Jadgc kc"
The grand jury trust that they are
not exceeding the scope of their priv
ilege, when as they believe, in 'the in
terest of economy, good order and
the proper execution of the law iu
North Carolina, they venture to pro
test against the present method of
introducing what may be properly
called trivial cases in the Superior
Courts of the State.
Much of i the time of the present,
grand jury has been taken up in ex
amining the most trivial and almost
frivolous cases; in larceny and re
ceiving, the stealing of one chicken;
in embezzlement, the alleged misap
propriation of one load of wood; as
well as in a large number ,of cases in
volving sums of less amount than
five dollars, illustration is furnished
of the work which has engaged the
attention of the solicitor, the grand
jury and the court for a considerable
part of their time. .
Jt is proper to state that in these
cases commitment had been made by
magistrates under existing laws,
which made it the duty of the solici
tor to draw bills of indictment and
caused the summoning of from two
to six witnesses in each case; a
heavy cost to the county nd the
State.
The grand jury respectfully make
this protest, with the desirejthat the le
gal associations of the State and ' the
people at large will endeavor to
bring such influences to bear on ! ,the
next Legislature as may induce that
body to better define and arrange for
the more simple and economical
hearing of such petty cases to which
allusion has been made
Summitted with the great respect
of the grand jury, by their order.

Union of Christians.
Cor. of the N-ws and Observer.
Elder C. W. Martz, the earoest ad
vocate of un-sectarian and undenomi
national Christianity will preach this
afternoon at 4 o'clock, in "Bledsoe's
Grove.'' The members of the "Church
of Christ j'' known in their church rela
tions by the Scriptural designations as
Diciples of Christ or "Christians
make an earnest plea for a return to
original or primitive Christianity, in
etter and in spirit, in principle and
in practice. Having nO church edi
fice of their own as yet, in this city',
and being denied access to the pulpit
of some of the city churches, for va
rious reasons, "thought to be good
and sufficient by their occupants, we
must obtain a hearing for the present
wherever wo can.
Come and hear us and let the
teaching be- tested in that I i'fierce
light that makes manifest lie truth
or falsify. i
If any jane who hears, and, feels
6ure that wo are a "sect" or "denomi
nation" in the modern use of these
terms, instead of the "Church of
Christ" as we aiai to be, then I re
spectfully and earnestly ask that one
whoever he may be, m tne fear of
God and in the love of truth to re
spond at his convenience, to the fol
lowing questions ana to iavor me
with a copy of his Response:
1. Is the Church oj Christ a sect
or a denomination in the pense in
which these words are commonly
used"
&. Uan one be identinea witn, and
be an active member of the Church
of Christ, in our day, without bcin
identified with a sect?.
If one can be thus identified With
the Cliilrch of Christ, and yet not be
identified with any sect or denomina
tion, how can he be so identified
The man who can show me that I
am now identified in my church rela
tions, with a sect, and can show me
hmn 1 may be identified with the
"Church of Christ" without airy sect
identification, will place me under a
debt of perpetual gratitude to him
for the. kindness. Respectfully,
C. W. Mabtz.

They 'were in pretty good humor, al-

London, Oct. 1. In commenting
on the yacht race the Telegraph says:
VV e are whipped and honestly
beaten. Nor ought a single unger-
ous word to be uttered impugning
the honar or glory of the victors.
We are sorry to record the victory,
but the Volunteer is the better all
around racing ship. The Thistle
could probably outsail the Volunteer
or. a long sea voyage. The former
was defeated but not disgraced. We
hope to repeat the challenge in 1888."

The President and Ills Party En Route.
Indianapolis,' October 1. Day
break found the President's train in
western Ohio,abouttwo hours west of
Columbus. It was now moving upon
single track lines and its printed
special time card bore the legend,
"This .train will run extra with abso
lute right of track over all trains."
The night was passed comfortably
by the excursionists and without
notable incident.
A brass band serenade was expc
rienced a little before midnight and
from time to time at stopping places
voices were heard calling to each
other i;i the darkness, "Whero is hef '
About a thousand persons were
at tie fetation at Columbus
when the train arrived at 1.30.
They were very quiet, gathering
about the rear platform and content
ing themselves with looking at the
car which contained the President.
A telegram had been received by Col.
Lamont at Pittsburg from Congress
man Outhwaite urging a stop at
Columbus, tbut the reply was made
that owing to the early hour it would
be impossible.
At Bradford Junction, at 7 o'clock,
the President made his first appear
ance and greeted a little crowd of a
hundred which had gathered about
his ca with a hearty "Good morn
ing." "We would like also to see your
wife" said one of the crowd.
"That is impossible now," replied
the President. "She has a hard day's
task before her and is resting."
"Well, we are right glad to see you,
sir," said the spokesman of the
crowd.
"I thank you for that," reioined
the President, "but of the two, I ex
pect you would prefer to see Mrs.
Cleveland."
At Richmond, Lnd., a half acre Of
solid humanity awaited the train.
The five minutes' stop was spent in
handshaking, th,e President remain
ing upon the platform of his car and
grasping the hands reached up to.
him.
Breakfast was the only incident of '
the run from Richmond to Indian
apolis. At Indianapolis the day had dawned
in drizzling rain, from which cause
he crowd was not so great as it
would otherwise have been. But it
cleared and the sun came out by the
time the President arrived.
The line of march, straight
down Washington street from the
railroad crossing where the President
eft the cars to the State House,
where he was formally received and
had his reception, is just about a
mile in length, and on either side the
walk were packed with people. The
view up ai am street was an inspiring
one with breeze enough to make a
vista of fluttering color. The pro
cession moved promptly at 11 o'clock.
First eame a squad of mounted
police. Next the Governor's staff in
gorgeous official uniform, while be
hind marched a platoon of police, fol
lowed by a band of musicians. Be
hind those marched the light infantry,
making a striking display. Then
Chief Marshal General Knefter and
staff, and immediately following, the
President's escort, the Hendricks clubs
to' the number of 200 or 300 men
whose uniform appearance was at
tained by tall hats of gray with black
bands, black clothes, club badge and
cane carried by each member. The
club formed in a hollow square sur-.
rounding the President's carriage
and followed at either side ranged in
rows two abreast. The open carriage,
hidden almost by a drapery of flairs.
was drawn by eight powerful white
horses gaily caparisoned. .
On the back seat to the right sat
the President. By his side was Mrs.
Cleveland. On the opposite e;it was
ex-Senator McDonald, these three
being the sole occupants.
The progress of the vehicle was
marked bv occasional cheeip, but
chiefly by the shrill cries and cat-
alls of boys. Hats and handker
chiefs were waved from every win
dow, but manifestly the carriage was
the phief object of all eyes and curi
osity looked its full.
The President, in his customary
suit of black with hat to match, man
ifested a presence that met all 'that
high expectation had looked for.
Curiosity and criticism were alike
satisfied, and as ihe carriage moved
slowly up the street there was dis
tinctly felt a social atmosphere and
erreetiner which was a tribute alto
gether fitting and of finr flavor than
the noisy demonstration of political
gatherings. ,
The general manner gave this out

dren were undeterred by the muddy
condition of the street, and yet with
all there was nothing motley in the
mass. It was well mannered, cordial
and respectful.
On reaching the btate House, in
the presence of about 25,000 people,
Gov. Gray introduced the President
to the multitude in an address wel
coming him to the State of Indiana.

passed over their section Wednesday
ai'tf-rnoon, tearing through thedclouds
like a big balloon, dipping down and
rising again, carrying an eddying
mass of fence rails- and tree limbs in
its circling path. It looked like a
big black funnel and it whirled
around like a huge top. It was about
tOO feet above the surface of the
earth, but would occasionally dip
down, wrench off tree tops and sweep
up fences. The cyclone traveled at
the rate of 35 milea'an hour and made
a tremendous roar. It dipped down
on the plantation of Mr. Alexander,
tore up a number of peach and apple
trees, took away the roof of his house
and, rising again, disappeared in the
direction of Philadelphia church. The
skies were overcast with heavy clouds,
among which a visible commotion
was made as the black funnel-shaped
mass tore its way through.
