Nov. 19, '97. f This morning' about 2:30 o'clock the peaceful slumbers of our citizens were disturbed by the shooting of guns and the blowing of whistles, the usual alarms given for fire, and , in a' short time hundreds of voices I were yelling fire. The building was what is known as the College, which has been used for school purposes for 'many years, and was, be fore the war, the leading, educational institution in this section of the state. During the war the building was used as a hospital for confederate soldiers. After the war the school was re-established , but proved , unprofitable ' and the building was then converted into a hotel, but this, too,: was soon. aban doned. Four years ago Prof. F. M. Weatherly leased it for .school pur poses, which continued until last June, when the graded school was 'establish ed. The building, for the past twelve years, has belonged to Geo. T. Leach, who was using it for a residence at the time of the fire." The insurance is un known. The festival given last night by the Presbyterian church was a success in every particular. The refreshments were served in excellent style and were greatly in demand. Rev. J. O. Alderman will preach in the Baptist church Sunday morning and night.

The Telegram congratulates the good ladies of Centenary church on the success of their oyster supper at the Groome building last night. The attendance was very good, consider ing the fact that the fire company had an oyster supper at their engine house at the same time. The receipts amount ed to about $40. The refreshments were unanimously adjudged to be first-class. Right here we desire to add that seldom; if ever, have wetastedor seen finer oystersthan were served there; Upon inquiry we learned that they were from our own North Carlina waters, and were fur nished from the cultivated oyster beds of Mr. C. S. Wallace, at Morehead City. They were, delicious, large, fat and juicy, far superior to those usu ally served at oyster saloons. There was a good deal of merriment created over the apple contest eating an apple suspended by a string. Frank Smith, son of Mr. I. N. Smith, suc ceeded in eating the apple and was awarded the free supper. A HURRICANE !IS RAGING, - - - ' ; .' . .. rr , ' . And It Is Thought Steamships - Have Suffered. . v; . ' -7 . - -. GEN.

Milwaukee, Nov. 19 Dr. Nansen, the Arctic explorer, who is lecturing here, says the report sent out from Christiana that his next arctic expedition-has been completed In its ar rangements, is not true. He' has, as yet, no plans for the future. BRUTALLY TREATED BY OFFICERS Handcuffed and Jerked About Until a Blood Vessel was Ruptured. The Winston Journal gives a lively account of an arrest in that city of ex-Chief of Police Bradford. Brad ford, it seems, had beat a fakir at his own game and the i fakir had him ar rested. He was bound over to court in a $25 bond. He was sent out, es corted by two officers, to secure bonds men. His treatment is-thus described by the Journal: They all started to McArthur & Zeigler's livery stables. Passing by Salmon's saloon Bradford told White and Frazier that he believed he would go in and call McArthur up over the phone. The officers uttered some oaths and said he should do nothing of the kind while in their charge. They at once put the chains on Bradford's wrists and began to pull and drag him down the alley toward Liberty street. One pulled him forward and the other pulled him back, lacerating and bruis ing his wrists badly and in fact sever ing one of the blood vessels in his left arm. . On the way down the amount of the bond was tendered in money two or three times by twoor three differ ent parties,, but intent.on taking their victim to jail they paid no attention to the tendered cash bond.' In this horrible and revolting way they reached . the jail to find a big crowd of representative citizens await ing them. The . crowd guarded the jail door, determined' not to let them incarcerate the man whom they had learned to love because of his long faithful services as a public officer. The officers were thus forced to accept the bond, and forty dollars in cash was put up as collateral for a twenty-five dollar bond. The scene at the jail was a wild one. The crowd was desperate and ready to do almost anything. White drew a gun, when surrounded by indignant citizens, and threatened to use' it. A COLOREDtTRAQEDY. Shot His Intended tand Then Put a Bullet Into .Himself. By wire to ThbTemxjbam. Washington, Nov. 19 Edward D. Hayes, a.- young colored medical student shot and instantly killed him self at the home of his sweetheart on Elm street, north west this morning, after, wounding the girl who had ' promised to become his wife. STRONG ARGUMENT In Favor of Good Roads Cheaper .' j Than Freight Rates. . - - The public generally, arel becoming more interested on the subject of good roads and road making. Read the following from ,a Davidson correspon dent of the Charlotte News. If cotton can be hauled with, teams cheaper than the railroads can haul it, why not ap ply the same course of reasoning to all farm products? "With good roads, such as Mecklen burg has, the cost to the farmer, of marketing his products, would be di minished more than one-half. With the same team now required to carry two bales of cotton to market, four and five can be easily carried. Owing to the rate of freight on the railroad the merchants here are hav ing their cotton hauled to Charlotte on wagons; and owiug to the good. roads of Mecklenburg, the owners of the team can afford to haul cotton cheaper than the railroad company. This is an other object lesson in favor of good public roads. It is also . a pretty strong argument in favor of "low tariff for revenue." But that is too big a subject for me to tackle here. In fact, I have found out that I under stand the tariff question just, about as well as the colored preacher did eter nity: "My colored friends, you don't understand the meaning of that word nor me either hardly." But we have plenty of political and religious critics who think they understand both these terms. When they grow a little older and learn a little more they will find that they don't know quite so much. BUTLER'S LITTLE BLUFF. He Fooled Some of the People, But Not Quite All of Them. Senator Butler yesterday worked a nice little bluff on a crowd at the de pot waiting for the morning train. The Senator was going off on the east bound Southern train. There had been much said about pass-to ters and some people were wondering what the Senator was going to do about it. He came in hurriedly with his bag, stepped up to the Southern Railway ticket window, took out a roll of mon ey, handed over a $5 bill to the agent with a request to change it. 'While the agent was doing this the Senator shifted some other change from one pocket to another; which to the crowd behind him, who could hear nothing of ' what passed, looked like he was putting a ticket in his pocket. Then he raked in the $5 in change, picked up his bag and hurried toward the train. "And so the Senator is buying a ticket," said several in the crowd but he did nothing of the kind he rode on his pass. Who next? News and Observer. STYLISH WEDDING.

Honolulu, Nov. 11, via San Fran cisco, Nov. 18. Princess Kaiulani's reception on November 9th was not flattering. Instead of the gre'&t de monstration that the. government ex pected, only 400 or 500 persons were gathered at the pier, most of whom were whites. There were no shouts of welcome.
