Marriage of Miss Helen Fowlt The Raleigh Water Company Caralclgh Mills Coming Miscellaneous. BY OCB BEHICEST COEBEHPOIDJHT. Raxeioh, N. C, July 18, 1891. The Odd Fellows of Raleigh are taking a lively interest in the matter of the Odd Fellows' Orphanage, to be established at Golilsboro. It will be one of the most thoroughly consti ucted ' and man aged institutions of tliat character in the South. - There has been thirty interment per mits issued by Chief of Police Heartt since the first of July. Quite a number of these -were for deaths occurring at other places in and out of the State. Work on the Caraleigh Mills is not ef fected by the injunction suit of W. H. J. Goodwin. It applies only to the con struction of the railroad through his brickyard. The mills are now above ground and will be pushed steadily for ward until completed. A great work is being done in the matter of advertising the great Inter State Exposition. All Borts of designs in the shape of medals, cards, etc., are being gotten up in the most artistic manner, and a regular boom exists. In aldition to the ordinary printing, Mr. Patrick, of the Immigration Bureau, has received a lot of most beautiful lithographs, costing ia the aggregate, over $10,000. These are now being dis tributed throughout the country. Work on the power-house of the elec tric street railway was commenced last Tuesday morning, and the street lead ing to it is being graded for the track. The four cars which arrived a few days since have been put on the track of the main line, and all the arrangements look like an early completion of the entiie system. The plan suggested by our Chief of Police to have several select policemen from various cities and towns in the State to attend in Ralaigh, as detec tives during the Exposition, seems to meet with much favor, and will, in all probability, be adopted by the Board of Aldermen, It is thought that the scheme will work admirably. MARKIAG3 OF MISS FOWIdS. .At 4:30 o'clock Wednesday, at Christ church, Bev. Dr. M. M. Marshall united in marriage Mr. Thomas D. Knight, of Chicago, and Miss'Helen W. Fowle, of this city. The ceremony was performed in the presence of but a few specially invited friends and the imme diate relatives of the bride, who was given away by her uncle, Dr. E. B. Haywood. Miss Fowle was dressed ic plain white silk, wearing no ornaments. She carried in her hand a white sattin prayer book with silver claspin gs. Little Mary A. Fowle, sister of the bride, was Maid of Honor, and Mr. Samuel F. Tel fair acted as the grooms best man. The ceremony was conducted with great sol emnity of the occasion. Immediately after the marriage cere mony the newly married couple took their departure for Chicago, the home of the groom, travelling by way of Wash ington City and Baltimore. THE RALEIGH WATER COMPANY. It is gratifying indeed to know that a controlling interest in the above named company is now owned in Raleigh, and while the gentlemen who are at the head of it are men of the very best business qualifications and have great interest in Raleigh, still we think the city of Ral eigh should own the water-porks and have control of the entire system. There is a section in the ordiances extending to the city the right to purchase the water works, and it should be done. Only by the city owning the control of our water supply will the present sewer system be niade available to that extent it should be for the health of the community. REPAINTING OCR ELECTRIC CARS. Mr. G. T. Flanders of the painting and ornamental deparment of the J. H. Brill Car Company, of Philadelphia, Pa., is in Raleigh for the purpose of re painting and ornamenting the handsome new cars of our street railway system which were sent here last spring, but afterwards sent to "Charlotte to be used in the opening of that line. When out of the hands of Mr. Flanders they will be really more handsome than their first design. DOCTORS TO KEEP SOBER. The Georgia Legislature Takes the Subject in Hand. Atlanta, Ga., July 25. The State Legislature has passed a bill disqualify ing drunken doctors from practicing. A method of indictment has been framed, and upon conviction of a drunkenness the accused is made subject to a heavy penal ty if he should attempt to practice again. A, M. Baker, of Newbern, will, it is stated, change the location of his furni ture factory and start the manufacture of mattresses in connection with same. CHASED FK03I THE ALTAR. A Mother Creates a. Scene at Chester Heights. Chester Heights, July 2-L While fully 3,000 people were, praising God in song at the Chester Heights camp meet ing last Sunday evening, the screams of a woman, uttered in the fiercest agonies of fright, rose above the great chorus and created a tumult that almost ended in a panic It was Minnie Fontaine, a young lady of 15 summers, who had screamed so loudly and rushed from the sacred altar rail in the immediate pres ence of Brother Thompson, who was conducting the exhortation meeting to a shelter of a cottage close at hand, with an elegantly dressed woman close at her heels. Minnie's parents are divorced and both married again, and there seems to have been no agreement between them as to the custody of their only child. She has been in- a convent in New Jer sey where she was placed at the instance of her mother, who is a Catholic, al though her father has provided for her wants ever since he separated from his wife. The mother sought possession of the girl, but was induced to abandon her. The Week's Work in Southern Ad- vancement. The past week has witnessed more activity and more indications of a very busy summer and fall than had been seen for some months. 3any new enterprises have just been organized, many contracts let' and many plans started for future operations. Following immediately after the announcement made in the Manufac turers' Record last week of three regular steamship lines from Newport News to Great Britain comes the announcement in to-day's issue that Norfolk follows in the same work, and that arrangements have been made for establishing several European steamship lines from that port. Thus the South's foreign commerce bids fair to keep up with the great industrial development. Among the industrial mat ters in this week's issue o the Manufac turers' Record are the closing of building contracts for the erection of the South Bos ton Iron Works at Middlesborough, Ky., amounting to $134,000; contracts for new water works engines at Atlanta, $54,000; a $125,000 muck bar and nail mill at Low Jfoor, Va; a $200,000 foundry .and mac. hine company, West Virginia; a $25,000 tobacco company, Hopkins ville, Ky. ; a $50,000 cotton mill company, Virginia a $25,000 land improvment company, Florida; three phosphate companies,with $2,000,000, $80,000 and 40,000 capital stock, in Florida; a $50,000 knitting mill company in Anderson county; the start ing up of the iron pipe works and the blowing in of a furnace at Anniston; a $50,000 lumber company, Louisville, Ky ; the probable closing of an option on three furnaces at Sheffield, coal and iron land, &c, by English capitabists at about $3,000,000; a $50,000 electric light and water company at Arlington, Md, ; a $100,000 manufacturing company at Richmond, Va.; an $18,000 light and power company at Aiken, S. C. a $50,000 building company in West Virgi nia; a $30,000 bobbin and shuttle com pany at High Point, N. C. ; a $10,000 and a $50,000 coal company in West Virginia; a $50,000 cotton compress company at Columbia, S. C. ; a $25,000 lumber com pany in Florida; a $50,000 mining com pany in West Virginia; a $50,000 power house at Galveston, Texas; a brewery at Richmond, Va. ; a $25,000 water works company, a $200,000 carriage company and a $200,000 glass company in West Virginia; a $1,500,000 land company in Louisiana; a $100,000 brewery company at Vicksburg, Miss. ; a $100,000 storage company at Baltimore, and a $100,000 brick company in Kentucky. All indica tions point to an early return of confidence in financial centers, and this would soon lead to heavier investments in the South than have ever been made, and to a more general activity in all lines of develop ment throughout this section.

With, three separate offices in Broadway, the Braman Law Company, of this city, advertises to "colemnize marriages day or night, week days, holidays or Sundays," and to assist those seeking divorces by furnish ing 'reliable detectives, day or night.

IT IS SUN-SPOT YEAR. THE SIZE A'D NUMBER OF BLACK SPOTS INCREASING. A Smoked Glass Shows Them The Old Question Whether They Have Any Effect on Oar Weather Is Naturally Revived. The Eyes of astronomers are once more directed with renewed interest to the face of the sun, which this year has shown a decided increase in the size and number of the black spots upon its surface. The Youths Companion says; "These spots are great sink-holes in the sun into which are descending vaporr that are cooler and consequently darke than the surrounding surface. There is an intimate connection between the spots and certain explosions or eruptions that occur on the sun, by which vast quantities of glowing hydrogen and vaporized metals are cast up to an enormous height, as stones and ashes are thrown out by volcanoes on the earth. what causes them? The late Father SeccM, a celebrated Italian astronomer, thought that the spots were caused by the settling down of the materials thus cast forth, which had been partially booled and condensed during their lofty flight. Great sun-spots are frequently com pletely encircled by tremendous erup. tions, which sometimes hurl the dftb'Tig substance of the sun 200,000 or 300,000 miles hi&rh! We must not forget in . considering these startling facts that the surface of the sun is not solid, like the crust of the earth, but probably consists of a shell of luminous and intensely heated clouds, in which iron and many others of our familiar metals appear in the form of ntensely hot vapors. the sun's body. Within this shell, which is formed by the partial condensation, resulting from exposure to the cold or outer space, jus as vapor from a tea-kettle is condensed into clouds of steam when it passes out into the air, the body of the sun is be lieved to be composed of matter in a similar vaporous condition, but even hotter. It is easy to see that such a body can never be entirely at rest, but the dis turbances that it undergoes, which are manifested to us by the appearance to spots and eruptions, become very in tense, then gradually die away, and then again increase in intensity in pretty regular periods, the time from one max imum, or point of greatest intensity, to another being, on the average, about eleven years. THE MAXIMUM IS APPROACHING. The latest maximum occurred in 1883 or 1884, and the latest minimum in 1339, when very few spots could be seen. Their rapid increase now indicates that the approaching maximum, which should occur about 1894, may be a memer able one. Some of the spots that have lately ap peared could be easily seen without a telescope by simply protecting the eye witli a smoxed glass. Any one can see the larger spots by fixing a spy-glass in such a way that it can be directed stead ily at the sun while a sheet of white cardboard is placed at a distance of sev eral inches behind the eve-piece where the image of the sun may fall upon it. If the observation can be made through an aperture in a darkened room the eflfeot is greatly heightened. HOW ABOUT THE WEATHER. The question whether sun-spots exer. cise any influence upon the weather, and if so, what the effect is, has naturally arisen again now that the spots are com iflg back. It is certain that extraordinary out bursts in the sun produce violent mag netic disturbances upon the earth, and splendid displays of the aurora borealis, or Northern lights, which are caused by atmospheric electricity. It has also been suspected that certain destructive storms, like our Western tornadoes and the typhoons of the China Tea, are more frequent when sun-epots are most numerous, but this remains to be proved by further observations. AN INSTRUCTIVE THOUGHT. A fact to be kept in mind when think ing of .the influence of disturbances on the sun is that while the earth would be swallowed up completely if dropped into some of the sun-spot holes that look to us like mere specks on the solar surface the sun, on the other hand, is so large that although its distance from us is nearly 93,000,000 miles, yet only a little more than 100 suns laid in a row, touch- in tr one another, would reach the earth. How to Flank Flies. Flies do not like the odor of burning pepper. A quarter of fresh meat may be safelv huncr up in an open house if a pepper smoke be kept up. The flies will not cro near it. and there is but little v J - m danger of the meat becoming tainted. Of course this method cannot be adopted unless there is a building apart from the dwelling which caitbe used, for people as well as flies object to a pepper smoke. Housekeeper's Weekly.

The par don of Jacob Johnson, of this place, and aelease from a three-months incarceration in Bridge ton jail for an aggravated case of drunkenness, came not a moment too soon, very near the end of his term.

At 6 o'clock in the morning his pardon came. Then he and the Sheriff had a race in a carriage against death, and won. They made the ten miles and got here just be fore Mm. Johnson became finally un conscious. She smiled her forgiveness and died. i RELIEF PROMISED To IRELAND. England Officially Oners What Erin Will Accept. London, July 24. During debate on the Irish estimates in the House of Com mons this evening Mr. Balfour, the Chief Secretary for Ireland, intimated that a Local Government bill for Ireland, based on the same lines as the .English and Scotch acts, will be introduced at the next session. He asked whether such a bill would have the support of the Irish members, adding that he doubted it T. M. Healy, interposing, said that such a bill certainly would have the sup port of the Irish members. Sounding the Devil's Sink Hole. A singular discovery is reported to have been made in Edwards county, Tex. It is known as the "Devil's Sink Hole." Recently it was partially explored. One man was let down by a rope 150 feejt. Here he fonnd a ledge and a passage way leading from it seven feet high, wide enough for three men abreast, and run ning at a steep incline downward. He followed it 3000 feet and came to an im mense lake of water, ice cold. He had no means of determenfng its extent, but a stone hurled with til his force splashed in the water fully seventy yards away. The bank of the lake was covered with pieces of rock, looking as though they had been blasted. Some were brought to the surface, and essayed about seventy ounces of silver to the ton. Why He Was Feeling So Blue. What's the matter, old man? he said as they met the morning after. You look blue. . I feel blue. But last night you were the jolliest member of the party. I felt jolly. You acted like a boy jest let out of school. I felt like one. . You said your wife had gone away for the first time in three years, and there wasn't any one to say a word if you.went home and kicked over the mantel clock. I remember it. You said that if you stayed out until 4 o'clock there was no one to look at you reproachfully and sigh and make you feel mean. Yes and I stayed out until 4 o'clock, didn't If You certainly did. And I gave an Indian warwhoop on the doorstep? Yes, and you sang a verse from a comic opera song and tried to dance a clog. And my wife had misted the train. Now go away and leave me. I want to kick myself a little more for not taking the precaution to get an affidavit from the conductor that she went with the train. The Limit Reached.
