Congressman' Shu ford - came -this A Thermometer Was 99 at 1:45 P. M. NO SIGNS OF A BREAK In the Warm Wave A Breeze Brought by Local Clouds Cooled Off the City This Afternoon. The thermometer registered 99 at the weather station today at 1:45, making the day the hottest of the year. The weather officials say that we may have a shower this afternoon, but that it will be purely local. There is no prospect whatever of rain or cool weather and we may look for a continuance of very warm weather. Our dispatches today, which are given below, tell of the fearful ef fects of the heat in other cjties. At 2 o'clock the heavens began to lower with clouds and for the first time in a number of - days the city cooled off. The thermometer would have gone above the hundred mark, and in all likelihood would have reached 102 degrees by 3 o'clock had the warm wave continued. The thermometer yesterday registered 98. This morning at 8 o'clock it was 86 and it kept climbing until it reached 99. The heat was simply horrid and there was not a breath of a'r. We have much to be thankful for. Prognosticator Nunn says that in Arkansas the teuioeralure has averaged 104 during the past en days. Nkw York, Aug. 111. The hot wave continues today. There were ten death's this morning and the prospect of many more this after noon. Some persons were found dead in bed, others in the streets and at work. Undertakers have more than they can tako care of. Troy, Aug. 10. The intense heat of yesterday is being repeated today. Two sunstrokes are reported. Work in factories is suspended on account of the heat. Ciiioaoo, Aug. 10. The latest re ports show sixtj -live persons wi-rc prostrated by heat yesferday. Twenty will die. Three more were driven insane and one ended life by poison and another with a razor. Omaha, Aug. 10. The terrible heat which continued last week was broken last night by a severe thunderstorm. Kansas City, Aug. 10. This is the eighth day of the hot spell and no prospect of relief. Little air is stirring this morning. SUN'S DEADLY KAYS. A Csse of Sunstroke Saturduy Kvcning"- Hottest Weather Vet. Raleigh has been very fortunate in that only one case of sunstroke has occured this summer. Saturday afternoon another case was reported. Mr. Gofumbus Perry, $ brother-in- law of officer Mott Thompson, living on Person street was overcome with beat and prostrated while working in his garden. Mrs. Perry dis covered her husband, soon after he fell to the ground. Mr.' Perry was unconscious from 6 p. in., until 1 a. m. Dr. s Hines, itenn ana Mcuee attended Mr. Perry. He is resting easy today. Yesterday and todey were the most oppressi ve days of the s umuier. Such a torrid spell as we have encountered for the past 15 days is unusual and cannot be expected to come again this summer. A cool wave has been promised but is slow materializ ing. Most people were clad in starched clothes yesterday, and under such conditions the heat seemed unusu ally oppressive. The intensity of the rays of the sun made life miser able for man and beast. J. L. Thomas, of ' New York to letnra Mere. Large circulars were distributed today announcing that IIoiu John Lloyd Thomas, of New York, one of the foremost reformers, orators and lecturers in the United States, will address the citizens of Raleigh, Tucs day, Aug.' llrJ96, at the Court House at 8 o'clock, in the interest of the Bentley-Southgate .

Before The Seaboard Took "Off Its Cnt Rate Saturday. . More freight was transported by the S . A. L. , last week than was ever known before iu the history of the road. Dozens of extra "freight trains passed through here Wed nesday, Thursday, Friday and Satur day. A number of specials went from Raleigh to transport the extra accumulation of freight at Norfolk. Shippers all over the South took ad vantage of the Seaboard's cut' rate before it closed and the result was that the Portsmouth office was blocked. The number of freight cars that were moved out of Norfolk Saturday were 350; 295 cars were moved south of here the same dav as welt as 100 empty cars. i-i;'V,r-s At the close of business Saturday the Seaboard Air Line withdrew the 33 per cent cut in rates which was established last month in. its fight against the Southern Railway. This action is taken in accordance with the recent injunction granted by United States Judge Simpnton or dering the Seaboard to - ' restore rates and enjoining the Southern Railway and the other members of the Southern States Freight Asso ciation (rom cutting rates. Pending the hearing in the case, which will be held August 15, the rate war is temporarily called off as far as the rail lines are concerned, v ANOTHER EXCHANGE. rhe Harrison Company to Hut In a Sys tem of Telephones Here. Mr. C.C. McDonald has received a letter from E. G. Lineberry, Secre tary and Treasurer of thi. Harrison Telephone Company, Durham, N. C, proposing to open an exchange here. The Harrison people nowhave Ex changes in successful operation at Winston, .Wilmington, Uoldsboro, and Durham. lv They have a phone which is said to be equal and not surpassed by any. The manager says the company does not fear competition, but "invites it; it is breaking up he monopoly of the telephone tfnsiness, aid has down prices thirty-three anda third per cent., and there is plenty of room for another third off. Ml that is needed to get this Ex change here is a little encourage ment from our citizens. Parties who want phones will do well to see Mr. McDonald, before contracting for any length of time, as the new Exchange will be put in operation as soon as 100 subscribers are obtained. The charge for which the new 'phones will be rented will likely be $25 in business places and offices, and $15 for residences. This will depend, however, on the number of subscribers obtained. Mr. McDon ald will have his canvassers out as soon as the weather moderates, and it is expected that the Exchange will be in operation by November 1st.

Fine Prospects for Cotton Crop Blighted. BOLLS POPPING OPEN Before they Have Developed--The Crop Will be Very' Short in Wske County The Agricultural Report very 1'nfavorable. The intense warm wave, which has been sweeping over the country for the past few weeks has played havoc with the crops. In Wake county here, the damage is alarming. A PnB8i-Visitor reporter saw the actual condition of the crops through 16 fniles of territory yesterday . Cot ton is blistered and burned by t':e intense heat ar.d in many places it looks lifeloss. In nearly all quarters of the county, cotton blooms and embryo bolls are falling from the stalks. Bolls are openinglprematu rely . The heat bu rsts the bolls before they are fully de veloped. Well known farmers de clare that there will not be over half aeottou cropin Wakecounty. Others say the crop will be 6(1 per cent. Late corn is also badly burned and the crop will be very short. A dry spell in August, just at the time crops are maturing, always does them great damage. The 19th weekly crop bulletin is sued atthe Agricultural Experiment Station today, says: The past week has been on the whole the most unfavorable of the entire season. The conditions of extreme heat and dryness, which bu gau over two weeks ago, continue unabated. While the mean tempera-J ture has been only from 4 to 0 de grees above the normal per day the maximum again reached over 100 degrees. Showers occurred at half dozen points on the 2nd and 3rd. but were altogether insufficient in amonnt; the deficiency for the State for this week is nearly 1.50 inches. Bright sunshine pre vailed. The effect of these condi -- 1 1 tix been bad in all districts, except at some points in the South-east portion and in the mountainous sections. Cotton con tinues to detcrioratejvery many cor respondents report that bolls and leaves are shedding badly; at places the plants are wilting; no top crop seems to be forming; the crop is opening too rapidly. Although it is easy to overestimate the damage to cotton, all evidences show that it has been considerable. Still if good rains occur this week there will be some recovery. Corn has also been injured, and late corn will be a fail ure without rain soon. Much of the fodder of the old crop has been pull ed, and much is dying on the stalk before in can be stripped. Curing tobacco is now progressing every where. Much firing is reported, and farmersaro pulling lower leaves, which are curing bright but thin and light. Sowing turnip seed has been stopped. The conditions are becoming serious, and there has been an unforunate decline from the fine crop prospects of two weeks ago. OLD LANDMARK GONE. The Covered Bridge Torn Down A Nc Structure Going up on the Old Site. The old covered bridge over Crabtreecreek is with the past. It was pulled down last week by Superin tendent McMackin. The flooring still remains, with guide rails on the side, so as not to interrupt travel, which is at all times heavy on that road. The iron for the new struc ture, which will be twenty feet wide, has already been hauled to the creek. Superintendent MacMackin has a force at work every cjuy on the bridge. The new iron structure will be located on the site of the old one. The iron piers are already in position. Mr. MacMackin says he hopes to have itcompleted in several weeks. He does not expect to stop travel over the bridge but three days. The public will be only slightly inconvenienced as they can drive around by Whitaker's, which will not occasion over a fifteen minutes delay. The covered bridge was one of the landmarks of Wake county and it is remembered by the oldest inhabi tants. The Bright Jewels of Edenton street Methodist church, will have a lawn psrty Tuesday night, on the Sunday School lawn. Refreshments will be served from half past seven until ten o'clock. Another Advance in the 1'iicc of Cotton Ties. There is to be still another rise in the price of cotton ties. It is claimed that within ten days 10 cents per bundle will be added to the already almost unprecedented prkv of ties. Ties were qun' ed at $1.40 per bundle delivered In a few days the price will be $1.50. according to those in a position to know. It is claimed that the tie trust proposes to carry the price to the highest notch. Ties are now bringing more than double what they did this time last year, according to the figures given out by the pealcrs. The rise is fully 100 per cent; and the farmers of the South are beginning to fear that the end is far off yet. The State agricultural department of Georgia has taken the matter in hand, The News and Courier of Thursday says: Manager I). P. Duncan, of the Alliance Exchange, has received samples of tbe wire which the Alliance is endeavoring to have used on the cotton iusteau of the ties. The exchange pur chased a new bale weighing 1143 pounds -and Manager Duncan was engaged in superintending the packing of the bale with the wire this morning. Six wires were used and the bale was very neatly and smoothly packed. Several large cotton buyers in Columbia inspect ed the bale after it had been pack ed, and spoke highly of the new system. Those who inspected it say they can 't see where any objec tion to the wire can be raised. Manager Duncan shipped the cot tou packed with the sanip'e wire arrangement to Messrs. J. B. Sloan it Sons, of Charleston. The cotton will be at the Cotton Kxchange at Charleston, and Manager Duncan says he wants the cotton dealers of Charleston to inspect the bale and express their opinions as to the advisability of the change from the ties. Of course the new arrangement reduces the cost to the fanners materially, and Mr. Duncan says he is confident that, the change will be endorsed. It is much simpler and easier. Ire argues, than the old way. An ITfoit for Protection. Below is a circular which is sent out by the American Protective f-ieague, under thedirection of Sena tor J. C.
