Chapel Hill, C, Sept. 14. The high-water mark of attend ance has been reached this week at the University... The first week closed with a total attendance of 504 in all departments. (These aro dis tributed as, follows: Collegiate de partment, 280; Law, 45; Medicine, 26; Summer school, 153. This means if the experience of the past is car ried out, a total enrollment of COO. The freshman class numbers thus far 100. This week has bedn an interesting one at Chapel Hill. Dr. Alderman made his formal opening address to the students on Tuesday 1n the presence of a large gathering, out lining the policy of tho University, and his own policy to young men. The speech was received with great enthusiasm by the young men and partly as a result of it all the old classes of the University have vol untarily adopted resolutions prohib iting hazing, thus co-operating with the faculty in the first principles of self-government. The new adminis tration starts off witlTall the depart ments in thorough harmony. All the, student organizations are forming and the great school is thoroughly started on its year's work. Common's hall with arrange ments for boarding one hundred or more opens with tea next Monday night. It is one of the bestequipped dining rooms in the State. Both this and the kitchen are due to the bene flcenee of Mrs. Frederick Baker of New York. It is a great boon to all students. Five new men of talent in their departments have been added tothe teaching force, an instructor each in Latin, Mo (tern Languages, English, History and Scientific-Phy- cioal Culture. While the last does not-tount on a course yet Mr. Mech ling comes to the State thoroughly equipped to make intelligent physi cal culture practical, pleasant and profitable. The Young Men s Christian Asso ciation gives its annual rocepfion to the new students with refreshments and short talks, music, etc. , Friday night in Commons hall. WILL FAIL OF PASSAGE. Movement for Early Closing of Saloons Can't Pass the Hoard- At the last meeting of the Board of Aldermen a resolution requiring that saloons bo closed after ten thirty p. m. with penalty attached for any Violation thereof was introduced at the solicitation of nearly all the min isters in the city, as well as the ves trymen and deacons in the various denominational churches. A peti tion urging the adoption of the reso lution which was signed by the ministers, decons, vestrymen and four members of The Board of Alder men was also presented. This turn for early closing-was something of a surprise and there has been much speculation as to whether the ordinance woula secure enough votes to pass at the coming meeting of the board. The Press-Visitor learns, and it is almost an assured fact that the move ment for early closing will fail to seeure a majority vote in the board. Messrs.. Boushall, Ivey, Mills and Drewry signed the petition. Of the other seven aldermen, not in cluding Mr. Johnson who has re signed, allare understood to be op posed to the passage of the proposed ordinance. Below is a copy of the proposed ordinance as introduced: Be it ordained by . the board of aldermen of the city of Raleigh: That every person, druggists ex cepted, whether licensed or not, vAio shall sell or give away with in tent to evade the lav, any spiritu ous vinous or malt liquors between the hours of 10:30 p. m. andoo'clock a. m., shall be fined $25 for each offence, and in addition thereto may On conviction before tho. mayor be adjudged to haye forfeited his license to Bell said liquors.

The Executive Board of the Southern State Freight Association Will Meet Tuesday in Atlanta The Georgia Kallroad Commission Adjourns. The surprise created by Judge Emory Speer's injunction having subsided, everything seems to be moving aiong as usual anions the railroads without any friction or jars. The news of the injuction came as a relief to a great many of the lines, as, from their statements before the commission, they were confronted by a serious problem, and to learn how to solve it was racking the grains of the best of thein. Notice of the ir.iunction relieved Commis missioner Haines, who had been deep in figures for many days trying to reach a conclusion, but had not been able to do so. Strikes at the Seaboard. It strikes hardest at the Seaboard Air-Line, which inaugurated the cut that began in July, with every indication-of continuing indefinitely. The Seaboard people are not satis fied. They can't see how an injunc tion could have been made to apply to them, and they will very probably move to have the injunction modi fied, at least. The injunction relieves the Georgia railroad commission of a great re sponsibility. Thev had called a meeting for the purpose of fixing local rates to correspond to the through rates a question that had baflled the bruinsof the best railroad experts. Many railroad men think Judge Speer's duty was clear under the interstate commerce law, if it was shown that the railroads were mak ing discriminations against certain points, and his power to grant a mandatory injunction is clearly given him under the third section of the amended act. Tho Interstate l.uw. It shall bo unlawful for any com mon carrier subject to tho provis ions of this act to make or give any undue or unreasonable preferences or advantage to any particular per son, company, . firm, corporation cr locality, or any particular descrip tion of traffic, to any undue or un reasonable prejudice or disadvan tage in every respect whatsoever. Every common carrier subject to the provisions of this act, shall according to their respective powers afford all reasonable, proper and equal facilities for the interchange of traffic between their respective Hues and for receiving, forwarding and delivering of passengers and proporty to and from their several lines- find those connecting there with, and shall not discriminate in their rates 'and charges between such connecting lines; but this shall not be construed as requiring any such common carriers to give the use of their tracks or terminal facili ties to another carrier engaged in like business. H. W. B. Glover Talks. - Mr. H. W. B. Glover, traffic man ager of tho Seaboard, was seen this morning and said he did not see how his road was included in the order. He said they had not been guilty of any -discrimination against an v point reached by his line, and that they had observed strictly every regula tion of tho interstate commerce com mission, includingthe longand short haul law. He said when the first tariff was filed on Ibe 13th of July, to take effect July 17th, that Augusta was brought in, but connecting lines refused to handle freight, so that when the first injunction as grante'd by Judge Simon ton was dissolved and a new tariff published, Augusta was left -out, as well as other poin's beyond4 the Seaboard's rail. .That is why he claims, they am charged with discriminating against other points. Wherever his line has the ratemaking power, he says, no dis crimination exists ; . t: :.f. The. Commission Adjourn.. - The Georgia Railroad Commission have postpOneu any action until some future day.

L, TC Claim t. Majority of Thirty five Thousand. A- THE ELECTION TODAY The Silver Ticket Generally Supported by the Democrats Throughout the State -They Concede a Republican Majority of 15,000 to 20,000. By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. Portland, Sept. 14. The Repub licans in this section are in high spirits and expect to cast a heavy vote in today's gubernatorial elec tion. It is predicted here that the State will give a Republican plur ality of thirty-five thousand Many put the figures higher than that. The Democrats concede 1j,000 to 20,000. The silver ticket is claimed to be generally supported by the Democrats throughout the State. However the gold Democrats have been vers aggressive during the closing days of the campaign. Ex- Gov. Flower has been 'pccially active and has made many speeches. He was enthusiastically received. The silverites have spent very little money on the campaign, having never hoped to carry the State, while the Republicans have been un usually active to make a showing for campaign uses. FOR BRYAN'S RECEPTION. Arrangements Being Perfected by the Committee Platform Being Krcetcd. The various committees appointed to arrange the details for candidate Bryan's reception in Raleigh met at the Mayor 'sofficc Saturdayafternoor. and submitted reports of work ac complished so far. The committee on finance has had more hard work than any of theothercommittecs. As yet only half of the amount required to meet the expensesof tho occasion has been secured. Three hundred dollars is needed and only half the amount has been secured so far. Carpenters began work thismorn- ing on the construction of the plat form in Nash Square, where Mr. Bryan will speak . The platform will be built above tho mound immediately in the centre of the square, where it will have a commanding position over all other points in the park. Arrangements have been perfect ed for lighting the park with elec tricity. Three large arc lights will bo placed in the square and numer ous incandescents will radiate from the platform and small trees. The illumination will be brilliant in the extreme. The crowd which will hear Mr. Bryan's speech in the square is es timated all the way from ten to twenty thousand. The over enthu siastic continue further in the thou sands. Mr. Bryan will speak to men of all parties, for the Republicans are as anxious to hear him as the, Democrats. It is likely that the Durham band will be secured for the'occasion. There is a band right here in Ra leigh which will in all probability remain in the city until Friday and it is not surpassed by any band in the State. Took Certain Death Against a Chance. By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. Hi(iiif.ANDLi(inT, Mass., Sept. 14. The Italian bark, Montstabor from Trinidad for Boston, with a cargo of salt, was completely wrecked on Peaked Hill Bar last night. Capt. Dellacassa shot himself presumably to escape drowning.

A BLOODY MASSACRE Eighteen Men and I'our Women Butchered in the Mutanzas Province Havana is Profoundly Stirred By Weylcr's lligh-llanded Conduct. By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. Key West,. Sept, 14. Havana ad vices by the steamer Mascot give details of a massacre of Cubans in the Matanzas Province by Spaniards undcrGeneral Molinas. The butchery occurred on the Lascanas sugar estate. Molinas heard that an in surgent band was camped on the estate and ordered a raid. The in surgents had departed when the Spaniards arrived. Molinas ordered the buildings fired. Cubans were shot as they emerged. Eighteen men and four women were butchered. Weyler seems completely to have lost his head. He is having leading citizens of Havana arrested by whole sale. The cause is alleged plotting of have him recalled. The arrests have profoundly stirred Havana. CLEVELAND WITH THEM. He sends a Fraternal Telegram to the Gold Notification Meeting. Senator John McAuley Palmer, of Springfield, 111., and (en. Simon Bolivar Buckner, of Hart county, Ky ., were formally notified at Louis ville, Ky., Saturday night that they are the nominees of the national Democracy for President and Vice President.

RAILROADS SLOW TO ACT. They Ik) Not Seem Disposed to Offer a One Cent Kate to the Fair. Secretary Nichols is daily in re ceipt of letters from individuals and manufacturing enterprises asking for space at the State Fair. A Ten nessee Wagon Company asks for a large amount of space in whi-h will be exhibited many fancy wag ons. The railroads do not seem dis posed to do the proper thing by the Fair this season. Last year a one cent rate was offered, and the num ber of visitors attracted here from all sections of State was simply im mense. It was thought that the rail roads would profit by tbeir expe rience and give the one cent rate this season. The railroads can make the Fair a success in point of attend ance if they are so disposed. They now have in effect rates much lower than the one asked for by the management of the State Fair. They owe it to the people to give the rate asked for, which is not as low as some they are now offering and which will insure them greater results. If the people will make a united pull the one cent rate may be secured. Nothing will hinder the Fair of '90 from being a record breaker with this arrangement. The grounds and buildrngs are be ing put in shape for exhibitors and they are also being made as attract ive as possible. TODAY'S MARKETS.

A special fromlola. , Kansas, savs: Tom Watson, Populist Vice-Presidential candidate, spoke here today at the fair grounds in a rainstorm.
