The fair certainly draws the people.
Thy poured into the city last evening
and this morning and it is safe to say
that there was never a larger attend
anco on Wednesday. The weather la3t
night became much cooler, and all fears
of rain were dispelled. j
North Carolina crowds at the State
fair are invariably well dressed and
well behaved. Of drunkenness very
little is noticeable. The people this
year are up to the highest standard.
The proportion of pretty women is
large. It is not overstepping the mark
to say that good looks and style in
crease annually. The country people
have come in, busy as they are. All
th9 expectations as to the attendance
are more than realized.
The Capital 'Club last evening gave
an elegant German, in which twenty
six couples participated. To-morrow
evening there will be another, in which
there will be at least forty couples. To
morrow evening the amateurs will give
a farce and some pantomimes at Metro

greatly in need of "funds. This, even

ba to-day tells me the Democrats there
are not registering, and he is alarmed
at this condition of affairs in that fine
old "banner" county. He says the Al
liance is to blame for this condition of
atfairs, and that many people declare
they will not register. Some people,
ho tells me, say they would as soon vote
for a Republican as for a Democrat
provided he will pledge himself to sup
port Alliance views and measures. It
is well to state these things frankly.

every prospect of prosperity before it.

This year, there is for the first time,
a charge of ten cents for admission to

AN IIEU0IC RESCUE
of Four Shipwrecked lien Clinging to the
Wreck for Twenty-Four Hoar Dnrlec
a Terrific Storm Thirteen Men Drowned.
New Glasgow, N. S. Oct. 15. A
thrilling story is that of the rescue of
four men who remained on the wreck
of the bark Melraerby, stranded at Lit
tle Harbor while on a voyage from
Quebec for Greenock with lumber, and
from which the captain made his escape
and tne second officer and twelye men
were drowned. All day Monday a
crowd stood on the beach watching he
poor unfortunates on the wreck, but
the spectators were powerless to enect
or even attempt a rescue, so wild was
the sea. and night settled uown witn-
out any abatement of the terriffic storm.
Two men remained on tne snore ana
occasionally would wave lanters to
show the 6hip wrecked men mat iney
were not forgotten. -

immense concourse assembled, but it
was noon before it was considered at
all possible to make an attempt at res

and a Discotise man. The brave fel-
lows fought a terrible battle with the
waves, out eventually reacnea tne
wreck, when a mighty cheer went up
from the anxious watchers on the shore.
One by one the exhausted and be
numbed ship wrecked men were low
ered into the boat and, after a second

desperate battle with the waves, were
conveyed safely to land.
The work was facilitated by a liberal
use of oil. Two of the rescued men
were fcick and one had his shoulder
broken. .The rescued men were Sea
men Kane, Evans and Steward
and the captain . of a schooner,
who went to supply tho bark
with provisions and were unable to re
gain their own vessel. The stranded

open meeting at whifch addresses will
be made by Chauncev M. DeDew. Chief
Arthur, Mayor Gourley and others.
After the noon adjournment. Grard
Chief Arthur and First Grand Engineer
Ingraham were seen, but neither of the
gentlemen were willing to venture an
opinion as to what understanding the
convention would come to on the ques-
tion oi amuation with the Federation
of Railroad Employes, Chief Arthur
saying the sentiment seemed nearly
evenly divided. The sentiment "seems
against the proposition to unite with

DUBLIN, Oct. 15. The taking of ev-
idence against the defendants under in- I
dlctment for conspiracy was resumed I
in the magistrate b court at Tipperary I
this morning', evidence was given with I
the object of showing the defendants I
had used their influence among tenants I
on the Smith-Barry estate in the direc- I
tion of inducing them not to pay rents. I
The first witness called by the prosecu- I
tion was a policeman. He testified that I
the defendants, in company with John I
Kellv. had made visits to Smith-Barrv I
te n ants. The defendants here inter-I
rupted the examination of the witness I
to ask Crown Prosecutor Ron an whv I
the evidence about Kelly was intro- I
duced. lionaa replied that the obiect I
of the prosecution in laying this evi- I
dence before the court was to connect I
Kelly with the O'Brien and Dillon Dart I
of the conspiracy. Mr. Healy protested I
against the court dealing with matters
tbat had taKen place anterior to the I
time mentioned in the summons issued I
against the defendants. Theobiection
was overruled.
During the proceedings in the court
Mr. Healy - was handed a telegram;
tearing the envelope open he found it
contained a dispatch from Messrs. Dil-

The utmost reticence was maintained
among the Nationalists as to the man
ner in which Dillon and O'Brien eluded
the vigilance of the police and effected
their escape from the country. If. is
the intention of the Goyernment to en
deavor to learn who aided them in their
escape and if their accomplices are
discovered, cthey will be criminally
prosecuted.
There are rumors in circulation here
that M. Raffalovich and the members
of his family declare that Dillon and

piscopacy are deeply interested. It is;
believed the summons is issued in con
