Visitors who saw it yesterday spread the news that it was the best ever known here, and as a conse quence there was a rush to-day, both of people from a jdistance and from the city. The attendance was large. To morrow it will be, immense, - A movement I taken up now would j cany through a jplan for-, an, exposition next year.- There ought to have been one this year. . This fair, for instance, is far superior to the so-called Southern ex- j position of 189i. 'It shows what can be done. j j The things of special interest at the the exhibits of road- lair to-day were; working machinery and appliances. These were shown in practical operation. There was also road-making, granite be ing used. It wafs "Good Koads Day," so these things Iwere very appropriate indeed. j Fifty more stalls for cattle were put up yesterday and last night. The oldest attendant at the fair never saw such cat tle and sheep. Some of the finest in the United States were shown, among them the World's fair prize winning Guernseys and Jerseys. There is always a throng looking at the cattle and the sheep. The horses, to be sure, came ih for a good share of attention. The cyclorama iof the Battle of Gettys burg was a great attraction. Five hun dred public school children saw it yes terday and to-mOrrow all the veterans at the Soldiers' Home will view it, upon special invitation' of gallant and kindly Mr. J. b . Chase, its proprietor. He was a cancomer in the .tilth Maine battery andat the great battle received no less than forty-eight wounds. To-day Mr. D. T. Hargrove, of Lauinburg, who fought on the Confederate side at Gettys burg, arrived here to assist Mr. Chase in exhibiting the cyclorama and telling the story of the battle. . This evening a road congress was held at the Capitol. At this addresses were made by Governor Carr, Congressman SJ1 B. Alexander, Gen. Roystone, of Washington, D. he.," State Geologist Uolme3, Mr. o. Myers, of Charlotte and Mr. W. C. McMackin, of Raleigh. There is no doubt of the re-election of Col. Julian S.' Carr as president of the State Agricultural society. He has made one of the! most efficient presi dents it has ever had in its thirty-lour years' -existence. He has the heiirty thanks of tne people ot the state, who appreciate his work in elevating the fair to; the proper plane. He has in all things been most ably aided by Mr. HaL Ayer, the Eesretary.

Hawkins.of this city , left this morning for Jrhiladeiphia, having re ceived a telegram announcing that the condition of Dr. William J. Hawkins, his brother, ex-president of the Raleigh and Oaston railway, and president of the Citizens National bank, is critical in the extreme. Two weeks ago a very danger ous operation was performed upon Dr. Hawkins, who is 74 years old. The newly organized Carolina Cotillion club gave its first dance this evening in the dining room at the Yarboro. It was a brilliant affair, j The number of young lady visitors from all parts of the State, is very large. I A Republican here to-day said to me: "You spoke of I Mr. Marion Butler's power over the: Republicans. Mr. A. EL Hoi ton, the Republican chairman, told me that at the conference of himself and Butler here, the latter said that if the Republicans did ;not agree to the use of Montgomery's name on the ticket, the place would be. left vacant on the Popu list ticket. This threat quite evidently had its elfect. . .There were four! race3 at the fair to- day. The first was for the 2:35 class, trotting, mile heats, best o m o, purs9 $300. The second was a running race, open to all, three-quarter mile heats, best 2 in 3:: catch weights, $25 to enter, $15 forfeit purse added $150.

Chief Naval Constructor Hichborn, of the navy, in hi3 annual report, recommends as the economicaland effectual method of main taining and efficient naval organization ior tne uovernmenc to nave under con struction continuously at each of the main repair yards (New York. Norfolk and Mare Island) at least one vessel of Bumcient size to constantly employ a force of workmen sufficient to satisfy the emergency demands usually made by the heet when undergoing its annual over hauling. During the past year the keels of but three new naval vessels have been laid those of the gunboats at Newport News, Va. Three vessels were launched the battleship Oregon, the protected cruiser Minneapolis and the torpedo boat Eric sson, bix vessels have had ofhcial trial trips, their speed records in knots being as follows; Castine 18.03; Marblehead, 18.44: Columbia, 23.80; Olympia, 21.69; Montgomery, 19.056 and the Minneapolis the latter being the fastest vessel of her size afloat. The vessels to be added to the active strength of the navy this year, in addi tion to those named above, are the Maine and the Texas. .After the necessary armor j and ordnance material are received the battleships Indiana and Massachusetts can be completed in seven months. Bids will soon be requested for three new torpedo boats of 135 tons displacement with a4 knots speed. The construction bureau will require si.uou.ouu tor the completion and preser vation of naval vessels for the next fiscal year,and during the same time Construe-' tor Hichborn and Engineer in-Chief Melville will require $7,879,222 to pay for vessels already authorized by Con gress. - Searcey Back in Fredericksburg. Fredericksbtrg, Va Oct 24t Robt. Pinker ton and party, with Charles J. Searcey, reached here this afternoon at 1 o'clock, having driven back from Cal- verton in about five hours. Nothing of interest happened on the route. Searcey was cheerful and seemed relieved that the thing was over, though he said would not mind prolonging the drive. Searcey talked pleasantly during the whole drive, but seemed a little tired when Fredericksburg wa3 reached. He was. lodged in jail on arrival there. There was a large crowd gathered to see him while he sat in the drag m front of the jail. - i At the' suggestion of the .Lommon- wealth's attorney of Stafford county, Judge Ash ton, of the County court of that county, has issued an order adopt ing the jail of the city of Fredericksburg as the place of confinement for bearcey. and there he will stay until November 21st, at which time the -County court will sit and a grand jury find indict ments against the train robbers. Noth ing has yet been determined about any preliminary hearing before a magistrate and nothing can be gathered on" that point until after Morganfield has been brought here. - ' . Pullman Wants a Change of Venae. Chicago, Oct. 24. Haying three times secured . postponement of their case, despite the protests of Attorney General Moloney, the counsel for the Pullman Palace Car company this morn ing modified their tactics and asked for a change of venue in the proceedings to make the Pullman company show cause why it should not forfeit its charter. In an affidavit A. S. . Wemsheimer, an at tache of the Pullman company, declares he does not think Judge Gibbons could hear the Pullman case without prejudice, because in 1888 he wrote' a book in which he expressed opinions which would necessarily disqualify him from hearing the case; The book is on the ownersnip of lands bv corporations. J udge tiibbons said the man who made this affidavit had evidently not read his book. .However, he consented to hear the arguments oi both sides as to a change of venue. Moloney said Weinsheimer was a willing tool of Pullman and in making this affidavit had committed legal and moral perjury. He argued that Judge Gibbons had no discretion to grant a change of eaue.

C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2b, SENSATIONS EXPEGTED. THE LEXOW COMMITTEE DE TERMINED TO GO HIGHER. An Important Female Witness Spir ited Away Induced to Return, She and Her Attendants are Arrested in Jersey City as Result of a Conspiracy Her Statements of Bribery of High Officials. New York, Oct. 24. The Lexow coun sel has, it is said, determined to ''go higher," as he has been requested by the Senate committee, and, in all probability, some sensational testimony will be pre-; sented soon before the committee. When the committee was called to order Mr. Coff caused a surprise by say ing that he would have to ask for an ad journment. "I deem it impossible" said he. "for me to go on at present while a certain thing is preying on my mind. I have now to announce that one of our most important witnesses has been spirited away. This woman went, al though under subpoena, from this city to Canada and thence to a city in the West. She was induced to go, we believe, by the police or agents of the police. After a great deal of trouble we finally got this woman to come back and she arrived in Jersey City this morning. We have just received news that our men who were bringing her back have all been arrested on a charge of kidnapping. The woman is arrested also, l hope that Mayor Wanser, who is reputed to be aiust man, will take notice of this conspiracy which has been hatched against us three weeks in JNew xork." Mr. Goff then said that the entire party were brought up this morning in a Jersey City police court and the hearing was adjourned until 11 o clock. The name of this woman is Matilda Herman and she is perhaps the most im portant witness that has as yet appeared before the committee. - "I say it now" said Mr. Goff. "in the hearing of one of the agnts of this con spiracy that we expect to prote this woman was given money to leave the city," It was reported that the Parkhurat de tectives were hustled around by the Jersey City police and very roughly treated when they were arrested. Mr. uoif said m repiy to Chairman Lexow that the woman had come of her own free will from Chicago to New York and he could not understand how a charge of kidnapping could be made. "It 13 a conspiracy," said he, "to prevent this woman from appearing before the committee." In'Jersey City it was learned that the arrest of Mrs. Herman was partly due to Senator Wm. D. Daly, of New Jersey. The woman was desired to give testi mony against the police of the Fifteenth precinct of this city, to whom it is alleged she has paid large sums of money to be allowed to operate four alleged, disorderly houses on West Fourth street near Sixth avenue. Some months ago she was served with a subpoena to ap pear before the committee. Her sudden disappearance resulted in Mr. Goff's suspecting that some of the sub poena servers were in collusion with policemen under suspicion. Pri vate Detective D. F. Wells was en gaged to look her up. He found her at the Colonade hotel, Chicago, and en deavored to induce her to v return and testify before the committee. She re fused. Wells communicated with Ser geant-at-Arms Kearney, of the Lexow committee, and a bogus telegram was sent to her with the information that her husband had broken his leg and was lying in a hospital in Hoboken in a criti cal condition- Mrs. Herman lost nod time in coming to her husband's assist ance, bhe arrived in the Pennsylvania railroad station at 7:30 o'clock this morn ing. Detective Wells was shading her. Near the stairway leading to Montgomery street Sergeant-at-Arms Kearney inter cepted the woman. He asked her to con- sent to go with him to New York and subsequently Detective Wells joined in the conversation. Ike woman became highly indignant and was gesticula ting wildly when Senator Daly ap proached her and told her he had been retained her counsel. Kearney and Wells wanted to compel the woman to go to New York, but Senator Daly re monstrated and declared he would not permit her to be kidnappedL. .A lively war of words followed. A crowd col lected about -the excited group.- Mrs. Herman shouted in a loud voice that Mr. Goff had telegraphed her, threatening to cause her indictment if she did not re turn to New York and that she had been inveigled to come east by her etnemies. Such confusion was caused in the station that Policeman Boyle finally capped the climax by arresting Sergeant-at-Arms Kearney, Detective Wells and Mrs. Herman, charging them with disorderly conduct, and took his prisoners to police headquarters in Jersey City, Senator Daly bringing up the rear. To Chief of Police Murphyw Mrs. Her man made an important statement. Ac-. cording to the chief, the woman had stated to him that she had paid $20,000 a year for two years o& protection. Four police captains were implicated oy the woman and seme higner police omcers too. The woman would not give , the names of these officers to. Chief Murphy, Justice Potts, after hearing the testi mony of policeman iJoyie and senator Daly, discharged the prisoners. Mr. Moss, ot the counsel for the ben-: ate committee, who was present, immedi ately thereafter, to insure the custody of the woman, asked that she be made a prisoner on . a charge of contempt of court and perjury, committed in New York. The justice entertained the charge. - - Mr, liorf, alter adjournment, saia mat the story that Mrs. Herman had been decoved from Chicago to Jersey City by a telegram stating that ber husband had- broken his leg was wnoiry raise, -one came on voluntarily," said he "and even paid her own railway fare. Ihe man alleged to be her husband broke hi3 leg before she left this city. Shewas nurs ing him when she went away. And moreover, since she left him he has been taken away secretly too." Mrs. Herman was committed to await the arrival of requisition papers from New York. The Snlit Between Tammany and Graceites. New York. Oct. 8.

To-days features: The validity of ithe proposition that cotton is too low and is not likely to decline much further Was questioned by not a few to-day when, owing to the influence of larger receipts, the market rnwseded and lost about all of the net advance of yesterday. Some local operators who have latterly been buying for long account became dis couraged and disposed of their holdings. Liverpool, though buying to some extent, also sold.' The South was lees prominent as a buyer. In fact, New Orleans sent a good many selling orders. The local shorts showed less anxiety to purchase, and only did so when prices declined !

A Postoffice Depart ment official in speaking of the matter to-day said: -. . " "For a long time the department has been taking active steps to bring the pro mortora of the enterprise to justice, and among them are some very prominent men in political life. These companies are conducted materially the same as lotteries, and are at present operating in the South. Within the past' few days ten companies of this character in New Orleans, Jackson, Mis3., Nashville, At lanta and Cincinnati have been f orbid en the use of the mails. The com panies give each member a certificate with a number on it for which they charge an initiation fee of about $5. Every member also has to pay from $1 to $2.50 in monthly dues, and when a certain amount of money gets in their treasuries, the companies distribute it to . i. . i , . t . i me uiemuers noming tne proper num bers. The result is that only one member in nearly every hundred gets any thing and me ieiiiiiiiiiu& uiemoers, oi course, lose their monev.
