as ft "pulled out. Those who had
money anh paid the regularfure, but
others: (a) majority) whp had spent
all the money they had at Ocean View,
looked, with sad eyes, at the departure
of the train which would take them to
their ' homes if their . Jim Young
excursion . j tickets ,.were legal
tender. ' But' alas f They had
been told by the excursion
committee various tales about the
hour at which the last section of the
mammoth Jim Youngexcursion from
Raleigh would leave. It is said by a
gentleman that the departures of the
different sections were posted at
Bonitss' Hotel as follows: "7; 12 and
b clock, respectively A great
many of the excursionists stated
Thursday, soon after arriyal, that
the last section would leave this
city at 9 o'clock Thursday night.
But the manager of the excursion
gave orders for the first section to
leave at 7:20, the second at 7:45 and
the third at 8 o'clock, thereby caus
ing a large numper from all sections
to be left in the city. Some few had
money and paid' their way back on
the 9:39 train yesterday morning,
while others who had no money, es
pecially those from Raleigh (nearly
all colored) came back from the de
pot cursing Jim Young for deceiv
ing them as to the departure of the
different sections of the excursion
train. They say when they get to
Raleigh (if they can get there) that
Jim Young will have to refund the
money.

SLASH IN BAY RATES.
The Southern Make Fifty Per Cent Cut
on the lew Line.
The Norfolk Virginia of yesterday
says : very mucn oi a surprise was
sprung in transportation circles in
this city yesterday when it was an
nounced by the management of the
Southern railway's new Baltimore
and Norfolk Line, the Baltimore,
Chesapeake and , Richmond Steam
boat Company, that beginning Mon
day, ' the 24th instant, tbey would
put into effect a tariff which is 50
per cent lower than the cut rate now
in effect via the Baltimore Steam
Packet Company. The reason as
signed for this retaliatory action
was that on July 17th ihe Bay Line
cut the passenger ras between
Baltimore and v Richmod via their
James River Line, from $2.50 to
$1.00 and the .freight rates froni 25
cents on first-class to 10 cents per
100 pounds,'" with similar reduction
on all other classes and commodities.
The" Dasseneef rate' announced
from ' Norfolk --to Baltimore if $1 or
for round trip tickets $1.50. ; - .
Close upon the heels of the first
surprise, occasioned oy tne new
line's retaliation came another,, in
the shape of an announcement that
the Merchants, and . Miners' Trans
portation company, and the York
River Line .had' put into effect a
simitar :- (reduction between Balti
more, Newport News and. Norfolk.
Freight tariffs have also been issued
by both the Merchants' and Miners'
and the Southern's, making a rate
of 5 cents per .100 pounds on the
three first-class and, 3 cents per 100
pounds oiv tne , remaining 'classes
and commodities as between Balti
more, Newport News and Norfolk,
effective August 24, 1890. . ,
' This action on tho part of these
lipos operating fl Bay steamers, wilj
precipitate a more chontio condition
of affairs in Bay tariffs than at pres
ent exists. ' ' . '
It is considered more than likely
that the Bay Lino will very prompt
lymeet the cut, in which case the
Tate war will' be indefinitely pro
longed, and there is no foreseeing
the outcome of the fight 1 ; -
However, in case the Bay Line
should decline to meet the oppost
tions' cut, which is in the range of
possibilities, tho bulk of ; the traffic
will be thrown tothotwolineswhich
have made the cut and the? e being
no opponent in the field, a restora
tion of rates may "be the result. .
Be this as it tnav, however, the
battle is on and whatever results
may follow they will be interesting.
Transportation men are extremely
reticent regarding the matter;
- The Washington Line people do
not think the cut will hurt them, but
what action their company will take
they are not prepared to say. ,-.-.
Mr. E. T. Lamb, the general agent
of the Southern railway, and of Its
Baltimore and Norfolk line of steam
ers, was out of the city yesterday.
His chief clerk, however, said that
in case of retaliation by the Bay
Liuejhe was not prepared to state
whdt course his line would follow.
A WAIF STATION
A Mevement to Establish One in Ral
eigh. " '
Correspondence Press-Visitor.
We are continually doing some
thing for ourdead by erecting costly
monuments Over them; it is time to
do something Tor the living. Our
people have bepn recently startled
by the statement that crime is in
creasing in North Carolina, at the
rate of five per cent, a year.
We have peuul institutions; but
they are not sufficient; we must dry
up.tbe sources of crime.
The waifs, the homeless boys and
girls, the outcast children of beg
gars, these are the sources of vice.
If they can be taken in hand, and
turned in the rigbtdirection in their
early years, there is everyeason to
believe good men and women can be
made of them. Loose on the streets,
they naturally drift down stream.
It is not their fault; it is the fault of
men and women who could if they
would take them out of the current
of vice and surround them with
wholesome environments and de
velope them into useful men and wo
men, A "Waif Saving Station" is a ne
cessity, if we would do this.
The "Waif Saving Circle" of the
King's Daughters of Ralegh, in
spired by the great need, encour
aged by the success of other stations,
and filled with the love of God, have
determined tfTCSUttrtreh a station in
Raleigh. It is the purpose of . these
ladies to buy a lot as soon as the
funds may be raised. Then they
will call on all benevolent people
to aid them ;and if they respond This
grand work will be established in a
few months.
On Tuesday evening next this cir

Williams' old bookstore on Fayette,

sent out. Admission will be accord

means to raise money enough to buy
the plot of land. The guests will be
invited to take a ride on the "Elec

A Corner on Cotton Tlos.
The Atlanta Constitution of yes
terday says:
"The cotton tie trust is doing all
in its power to keep a 3orner on the
cotton ties and compel the farmers
and planters throughout the south
to pay the exorbitant prices they
demand.
Some time ago D. H. Browder &
Co., of this city, received, an option
of- 100,000 bundles of cotton ties
from the Brilliant Tube and Pipe
Works, of Brilliant, O., through
$Ir. W. D. Webb, of Pittsburg. The
price to be paid for the ties was 72
cents a bundle. s
. The day before tho mill was to be
gin work on the ties the mill sud
denly suspended operations, pend
ing the resultof a quarrel among the
stockholders of the company. The
result of the meeting of the stock
holders was that the mill was order
ed closed, and an assignment made,
and 500 workingmen thrown out of
employment . ' - . ,
: J.-- R. Jackson, president of the
mills, stated that tjie property of the
millas worth $00 to every dollar
it owed, and there- was no reason of
an assignment to be made.-,"v:"-rv:
The prices at which the option on
the ties was g'fven was considerably
below price at which the trust sells
ties, an d the only oonclusion to be
drawn from the action of the stock
holders is that half of them sold out
to the trust and in direct opposition
to the wishes of the president of the
company and the other stockholders,
ordered the mill to be shut down.
The populist campaign will be
opened at-Wadesboro' on the 29th.

ernbr Carr was absent from tne city
and Mr., William Carr( was te"bnly
gentleman in the house; even the
butler and all the servants were ab
sent, which fact was evidently
known to, the crook . It was one of
the few times that all the servants
were given aholiday and the burglar,
it is thought, knew the Mansion and
picked this opportune time.
, It was about a quarter often when
Mr. Wm. Carr went to his room on
the second floor. He had been sit
ting on one of the porticos with the
ladies and his happening on the
second floor was purely .accidental,
as he went to see if some lithia
water had been put on ice. The
room was dark and Mr,, Carr had
difficulty in finding witch board to
turn on the electrio Rights. While
he was .feeling for the switch, he
heard a noise in thecubboard, which
attracted his attention and he paused
in his search. Then it wm that the
burglar shot out df the cubbord to
an open window and on the roof
whlchircles the mansion.
Mr. Carr gave the' thief a hasty
farewell w,ith a piece of board, which
he hurled at him as he leaped through
the window. The ladies down stairs
had heard the scuffle and were of
course alarmed. Mr. Carr hastened
down stairs to assure -them that
there was no danger. ..
A policeman was telephoned for,
but on his arrival theifturglar had
d topped -from tb poroli.tie ground
aojChad. put many,ibiiacks behind
him.
The burglar 'had been in the
house only a short while before his
presence had been discovered. He
had gone through two suits ' of
clothes which he had on the floor,
but the search was without reward.
On the bureau, however, there was
much valuable jewelry which was
laying open on a cushion. The room
was dark and the burglar failed to
detect it.
Mr. Carr could not tell whether
the intruder was white or colored.
The last thing he saw was a pair of
white socks as the burglar gave a
great leap through the window.

gaging in an affray. Mr. Martin's
knuckles were badly bruised, and
there 'Was . a scratch on his face,
while Mr,' Hannah's face bore marks
and bruises, which showed that he
received several heavy blows. t
"The first and principal witness
was Amos Brooks, colored. Brooks
was present and witnessed the entire

...vBrooks in giving hi version of Jtne
affair stated that he rented a single
buggy yesterday afternoon at six
o'clock to Mr. Hannah for one hour.
Hannah told him that he was going
to take his wife to ride. Later two
men drove the horse past the stables
and the animal was in a perfect
lather. Mr. Martin recognized the
horse as his and asked Brooks if the
gentlemen occupying the buggy had
rented it. He replied that they had
not, buthatMr. Hannah had. Mr.
Martin and Brooks then jumped in
a buggy which was standing in the
stable and overtook the strangers.
They stated that Mr. Hannah had
driven out in the country and given
them permission to cometotown,and
that they were on their returnthen.
Mr. Martin, however, took the horse
and parried him hack to the stable.

stated that Hannah opened his knife
and put it in his rear pocket before
crossing the street. He stated that
Hannah came up to Mr Martin curs
ing and swearing, threatening tq
kill him. Hannah called the former
vile name and Mr Martin was
about to resent it, when the enraged
Hannah pulled out his knife and
swung it aroAid at Mr Martin. That
gentleman warded off the blow and
ran in the stable. He was followed
closely "by Hannah, who still had
his knife' open brandishing
HI "They mo-red e,bout.ir in
the stable, when Mr Mar
tin seized a pitchfork to defend
himself. Finally they clinched out
side of the stable and fell to the
ground. When the two arose, Han

from Mr. Martin and the former had
raised it to strike him when he seized
the fork with one hand and dealt Mr
Hannah a blow in the face, which
filled him to the ground . Hannah
came up again and Mr. Martin gave
him another blow in his face, which
sent him to the ground. In the
mean time Brooks had telephoned
for the police. Mr. Martin got
Hannah down and he finally turned
him over to Brooks, saying that he
did not care to hurt him.
Mr. Martin went insidethe stables
again and tiannan picuea up two
big rocks which be hurled in the
stable. One of them crashed through
into a horse's stall. Hannah finally
left cursing and swearing and
threatened to return with his
brother and demolish the wnole

This is the story astold by Brooks.
Another witness said that his re

correct.
Hannah says that Mr. Martin
struck him with the pitchfork.
