Today's steady downpour of rain kept the shoppers indoors, and the merchants found time to open and arrange their newly arrived stocks of spring goods. Visitors to the city next week will see the prettiest stores in the State. Capt. W. A, Turk, one of the best known railroad men in the State, is at the Central. Col. Paul B. Means, of Concord, was on the streets today. The railroad rates for the 20th of May will be the best Charlotte has yet had. They will be announced In a few day. THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS, Paid for a Lot Pive Blocks from the 8quare--How Charlotte Dirt Sells. A little bit of Charlotte dirt changed hands yesterday, and the figures wbich it brought show how valuable has become that commodi ty. Mr. C Valer bought from police man McNelus, the lot on South Tryon street, Just north of the C, C. & A. track,and opposite the residence of Mr. W. W. Ward. The lot fronts 105 feet on Tryon street, and has a depth of 198 feet. There is a small shanty on it Mr. Valer paid $3,000 for this property. A few months back, this figure would have been hooted at. Mr. Valer will divide the property into two lots, aud will build an ele gant residence for himself on one of them. He has uot yet decided upon what disposition he will make of the other.

Club Before the Qrand The Watch Jury. Boy tie A Badger's watch club was investigated by the grand Jury to day, a paper having been presented to that body charging Bnyne A Bad ger with coi.din -ling a lottery. What grounds there n for such a con struction upon the character of the watch club is not known. The full plans are printed in an advertise ment in Thk Nines. Only two wit nesses were summoned to appear before the grand jury Harry Smith, clerk at the Buford Hotel, who was awarded h gold wntch, and the edi tor of Tin: N i:vs, who publishes the advertisement. Atout the only tiling tin latter li.nl to do was to kiss the Uiok and u v th:it hedidn't know anything about the watch club, as he did not l -long to it. Mr. Smith's testimony rather tended to support the idea that instead of getting bis! lu best to adont Persecuting Phelan. Mr. Phelan, the unfortunate bucket shop man, appears to be having a rough time with bis creditors. As fast as he makes up one bond, he is called upon to give another. About a dozen different processes have been served on him, and he has given bonds in the aggregate of $10,000. The Constitution says: After court ad journed, Mr. Phelan walked up the railroad, and when about one-fourth of a mile from the carshed, he was again arrested !y Sheriff Connell and carried before Justice Stilwell under two warrants, and placed under two bonds of $350. Messrs. II aas and Par rott are standing close to him and signing bonds as rapidly as they are required. Mr. Phelan received sev eral telegrams this afternoon from wealthy ami prominent citi.ens of Atlanta, offering to come aud stand for him to any amount that might be required. The energy of the prose cution has possibly stepped over the line, and is carrying the prosecution a little too far, and in consequence the public feeling has changed, and tonight Phelan has a large number of friends aud sympathizers in Grif fln, which he didn't have this morn ing. The defense have managed their case well, and conducted it in such a quiet and pleasant way as to win friends to a cause that was this morn ing very unpopular. - - The Episcopal Missionary. Hev. H. 1). Page, the Episcopal missionary, will preach at St. Peter's church, in tl.ls city, next Sunday. Mr. Page's lectures on Japan are ex ceedingly interesting. In a lecture in Charleston, Mr. Page said that Japan now has thirty-five or forty railroads; well organ i.ed postal ami telegraph systems; a modern army ami navy; a large and influential native press, comprising about two thousand daily, weekly and monthly publications. The Prayer-hook and Bible have been translated, and the nation had an advanced literature. The native editors from time to time have discussed whether it would not the Christian reli- watch by lottery, he got it on the in stallment plsn.

Rankin & The Graham Street Church. The Fayetteville Presbytery has refused t release Hev. Mr. Shaw, who was called, to the pastorate of the Graham Street church in Char lotte, and the congregation of that cuurcn win nave 10 cast anout ror another pastor. Mr. Shaw's charges declined by u unanimous vote to re lease him, and Presbytery felt bound to respect their wishes in the matter. Very general regret has been ex pressed in Charlotte at the failure of the Graham Street church to secure Mr. Shaw. A meeting will probably be held next week to make another call. last Satur-i si.n in thai country there are now seveu schools for young men aud women; two institutes for ths train ing of Bible women; one hospital already built and another in course of construction. Within the past two years over eight hundred and forty natives have been baptized. About forty men are being trained for the Episcopal ministry, and six teen women for the ministry among their own sex. The Supreme Court.

Thompson vs. Smith, argued by II. W. Harris (by brief ) for plaintiff, Burwell A Walker for defendant.

The commencement exercises, at the State University, will be of unu sual interest this year. There will be some change in the programme. Instead of the entire day of Wednes day, in commencement week, being taken up by a preacher and preacher from abroad, the sermon will be de livered on the Sunday before, and Wednesday will le given up entirety to the alumni. On that day the alumni association will meet, and deliberate on measures for the ad vancement or the institution, and have asocial reunion. An effort will also bo made to start an endowment fund for the establishment of a chair of history,.

Showing a Stranger the Sights. Mr. A. H. Burroughs, common wealth's attorney for Lynchburg, Va., was in the city yesterday, and was shown about town by Mr. H. C. Irwin. The big oil mills were first visited, and Mr. Burroughs was as tonished at what he saw. He said he had no idea that there was a manufacturing plant of that magni tude in the South. He was equally surprised at the cotton factories, fine dwellings, handsome stores, and good streets. "The only objection I can find to this country," he said, "is that it cannot raise grass." "Hold on," said Mr. Irwin, "and I will show you some grass." He then drove Mr. Burroughs to Wadsworth's farm, and Mr. Burroughs threw up his hands in astonishment Charlotte, he says, is the most delightful place he has found anywhere. W.

We have cut a notch on our pole of ambition three grades above any season's work we ever did before. That means April will see lis sell more ME CLOTHES Copying After Charlotte. Col. L. S. James, of Douglasville, j Ga., was here last Christmas to at tend the marriage of Miss Maxwell. While here he visited the Ada cotton mills. When he learned how that valuable property had been so easily acquired through the Building and Loan plan, he said that when he got home, he intended to build a cotton mill at Douglasville, on the same plan. It seems that this was no idle declaration, for Col. James donated a lot in Douglasville, gave $5,000 and has now got things in shape to begin building the mills. He has sent for a copy of the plans of organization of the Ada mills, as he says he wants to proceed exactly like the Charlotte people did. Marriage To-Night. Mr. A. P.
