THE CIRCUS COMING. John Lowlow la Here and announces Main's Circus foe Oct. 14. For days it has been in the air that oup or more circuses was head ing this way but no definite news could be obtained, and the small boys and some of the big boys too as for that matter were beginning to get a little anxious. Today, however, all doubt was dispelled when the well known form of the world-famod John Lowlow was seen on our streets, and many who knew him shook his hand. A few months ago the -newspapers had it that Mr. Lowlow was trying to shuffle off about five and a half feet of mortal coil in Ohio, but his ap pearance here in the flesh today did not look much like a shadow or a ghost, and Mr. Lowlow 's many friends here are congratulating him on looking better than theyever saw him. He is the picture of health and looks more young and vigorous than ever, and Mr. Lowlow himself declares that he has dit.oovered-'the fountain of perennial youth and life. But to the circus. Mr. Lowlow is advance press agent of Walter L. Main's circus, which he announces will show in Raleigh on October 14th, coming here from Goldsboro where it will show on the day before. Mr. Lowlow informs us that Main's circus is one of the finest and best shows that ever visited us. It in cludes about 150 horses, and one of its especially interesting features is a splendid exhibition of performing animals, similar to the- Hagenbeck aggregation exhibited at the Chicago World's Fair. This includes per forminglions, tigers, leopards, bears, etc. The exhibition is given inside an iron cage 28 feet in diameter and is a whole circus in itself. A great feature with the Main circus is a high dive of 150 feet, made on the outside of the canvas in the free ex hibition before the circus begins. Last, but by no means least, and the crowning attraction of the per formance, is the appearance in the ring of the inimitable Lowlow him self in bis time honored and original role. The entire population of Ral eigh and the country for miles around will turn out to see John Lowlow once more upon the sawdust, near his jovial voice and laugh at his side splitting jokes. No clown on earth has e ver compared to the only John Lowlow, and none ever will, espe cially here in North Carolina, where he enjoys the personal acquaintance and friendship of thousands of peo ple, having received his education at the University of North Carolina. In speaking of the veteran. clown, Jobu Lowlow, J. M. J. Kane's Music and Drama says: "Mr. Lowlow has , . 1 bund profitable employment this season, and will be around as usual when the red wagons go out." This Is an assurance that the circus word is not yet to lose one of its shining tights. John Lowlow is a brilliant man, though he does wear the "mot ley," and had he the chance of fortune placed him in any of the higher pro fessions he would have made an en during reputation.. In the circus world be is ; regarded as no other clown ever was or in all probability ever will be.. J. Ha is a gentleman without pretense, a scholar without boast of knowledge, a poet without vanity, and, better than all, a man honest to the heart's core, one whom It s a pleasure to know and an honor to call frlendi : - j Mr. W. W. Jenkins, a prominent citizen ef Wake Forest, was In the city today and gave us a pleasant call, , - : - K' x FINE .WORK Iff OIL. Beautiful paintings by Randall on Exhl- - Mtton at Sherwood Higgs Co'a At the handsome new store of Sherwood Higgs &'Co. crowds of people have been seen pouring in and out for several days past, at tracted by the exhibition of fine work in oil painting by Artist W G. Randall. Today many ladies from St Mary's School, and Peace Insti tute visited the store and admired the pictures, and 'many ladies and gentlemen from the city also called during the day as they have been doing all the week. . There are six of the paintings entitled as follows: "A Negro Boy," "A Flax Spinner," "Lavoirs Near Paris," "Watching," a copy after Messbnier; "Sleeping Nymph, " a copy after Heuner; "Cardinal Lavigerie, a copy after Bonnat. The work all shows Mr. Randall to be a genius as he has indeed heretofore proven himself to be. The specimen which attracts most attention is the "Negro Boy." This is a picaninny painted from life, and the subject was Sim Hall, a local darkey kid who Mr. Randall posed for tbe picture. He is represented as lying srawling in tbogeass toot ing away on a tin whistle. It is a very life-like picture, the eye, the kinky hair and the bare feet being absolutely perfect. The "Sleeping Nymph" is also an exquisite piece of work, and the picture entitled "Watching" shows Mr. Ran-lall's powers to very fine advantage as do all the others. The paintings will be on exhibition for several days yet and all who have not seen them should call and do so. Death of Mr. G. V. Thompson, Sr. Mr. George W. Thompson, Sr., the fatherof ex-Mayor Alf A.Thompson, George W. Thompson, Jr., and Jas. A. Thompson, died yesterday after noon at his home in l'ittsboro. An other son, Wm. II. Thompson, of Waco, Texas, survives. Mr. Thompson was at the ad vanced age of seventy-two years when death visited him. He was one of Chatham's most upright and honorable citizens, enjoying the confidence and esteem of all thoso who held acquaintance with him. His death will occasion genuine sor row wherever ho was'known. For years he was a director of the N. C. Penitentiary. The remains arrived here on the S. A. L. train from Pittsboro, ac companied by relatives and friends of the family. The funeral party were met at the depot by friends. The funeral will occurthis afternoon from the Presbyterian church. Metropolitan Hall to be Reopened. Prof. Geo. D. Meares, for two years manager of the Academy of Music, announces elsewhere that having leased Metropolitan Opera House, he will conduct it in the fu ture and will open iton October 12th with the appearance of M 'lie Rhea. Mr. Meares will follow this during the season with some of the best at tractions which are to be afforded, among which will be the Robinson Opera Company during the State fair. This company will present eight operas during fair week. Frank Howard Put In the Pen. Frank Howard, of Concord, who was sentenced to be hanged today in Concord, arrived here this morn ing in the custody of Sheriff Simms, of Cabarrus. After hearing the plea for commu tation and considering the strong petitions asking that the sentence of Frank Howard, the negro who was convicted at the July term of Cabarrus Superior court on the charge of arson, having applied the torch of the barn of Mr. C. O. Gillon last winter, his Excellency, Gov. Carr, yesterday signed the docu ment that gives to the negro that which we all hold so dear life. Governor Uarr commuted the sen tence of death to imprisonment at hard labor in the penitentiary for life. - Seven Presidential Tickets. Few people have any idea as to the number of Presidential tickets in the field. There are exactly sev en, viz: Bryan and .Sewall, Demo cratic; McKinley, and Hobart, Re publican; Palmer and Buckner, gold standard Democratic: ' Bryan and Watson, Populist; .; Levering and Johnson, Prohibitionist; Bently and Southgate, National Prohibitionist, and Malchettand Maguire, Socialist. Mr. Walter A,y Montgomery," Jr., who has bben spending the summer here with his parents returned to Baltimore today to complete his course at Johns Hopkins University. " . . ' - P .. . DELEGATESALL NIGHT Bryan Mi Vould Not Leave tfusic Hall. TWO CONVENTIONS, An Extraordinary Scene in Boston A Bryan Delegate Killed by Touch ing a Live Electric Wire. By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. Boston, Sept. 29. Between five and six hundred delegates to the Democratic State convention, which was called to meet at II o'clock to day, occupied seats In iWusIo Hall,! all night. Few delegates slept, but the majority were wide awake and occasionally speeches were made to keep up spirits. Thisextraordinary action was taken in consequence of the convention on the part of the sil- verites. The Democratic State com mittee intended to paeU the conven tion today for gold. There are in all 2,200 delegates. They were to be given tickets at 11 o'clock today. George Fred Williams and the leaders of the silvermen instantly suspected a scheme to sbutoutsilver delegates. They planned schemes for Bryan and Sewall and the Williams club rented a hall last night for the re ception of Bryan and Sewall. When the police attempted to clear the hall after the meeting they were in formed that the tenant had undispu table possession for twenty-four hours after the expiration of the lease. Before time for calling the con vention to order had arrived, there were five hundred and twenty dele gates on the floor. The State Committee has decided to hold a "regular Democratic State Convention" at Fanuiel Hall at 1 o'clock. This will probably defeat the silverites, who hold possession of Music Hall. James Hughes, a Bryan delegate to the Democratic State Convention, was killed this morning while at tempting to enter Music Hall, where the silver delegates had assembled. He attempted to enter the rear door by moans of the fire escape, ond ac- cidently came in contact with a live electric wire. He was dead before anybody reached him. Tom Dixon Wrltci His Father. Rev. J. E. White, corresponding secretary of the Baptist State Con vention, went up in Surry county today to attend the Elkin associa tion. Mr. White was in Shelby yes terday, where he learned that Rev. Thos. Dixon had written his father to the effect that he expected to make several speeches in North Carolina against the Democrats, and that Shelby was one of the places he was going to speak. Tom wrote his father that he only wanted one hour to convince him that he was wrong. They say that the old man, like the Baptists, has about lost all confi dence in Tommy. The father is a Democrat. What Is the Trouble? Judging from the wording of the resolution which was adopted by the Republicans of the Third district in endorsing Fowler (Populist) for Con gress, it would be judged that the Republicans are anticipating a hitch of some kind which may break the combination agreed upon. The Fayetteville Observer says the resolution read something like this: "That we do not think it expedient to nominate a candidate now, but if at any time it should become expe dient to do so, the Executive Com mittee is given the power to make the nomination." Death of the Mother of Mr. L. J. Walker. Mr. L. J. Walker this morning received a telegram bringing the sad intelligence that his mother Mrs. Barbry Walker, had passed away at an early hour this morning at her homeatGlendale in Alamance county. Mrs. Walker has been in declining health for some time and Mr. L J. Walker spent some time with her at Glendale a few weeks ago. When he returned he expressed the fear that the lamp of life had not long to burn and this morning Came the"sad intelligence that the end had come. Mrs. Walker was in the ttfrd. year of her age. She was the wife of Sam '1 Walker who died in 1873. -She was a lady of most exemplary char acter, having the esteem and affec tion of all who knew her. The many friends of Mr. L. J. Walker in this city deeply sympathize with him in his great sorrow. The funeral is announced to take place tomorrow. f r 5 "INGATHERING DAY." Interesting Services to be Beld at Eden ton St. Sunday School Tomorrow. At Eden ton Street Methodist Sun day school tomorrow morning there will be special services, incident to the annual fall "Ingathering Day." These occasions are always largely attended, not only by tbe active membership of the school, but by its former members, who take advant age of this opportunity of meeting again those with whom they worked years ago, but who, for various rea sons, are now debarred from active participation in the work of the school. It is always a pleasantsight to see these old people renewing their ac quaintance and recalling the tender memories of long ago. But ofttimes the unbidden tear bedims the eye as the names are -cftUad oLJJiose whose faces are seen no more at these annual gatherings. Brief talks and excellent music, for which this school is so justly fa mous, will enliven the occasion, and the Sunday morning hour can no where be spent more pleasantly and profitably. The public is cordially invited. The exercises will begin promptly at 9:30 o'clock and lastone hour. TODAY'S MARKETS. Cotton Closed 2 to 3 Points Better than Vesterday. New Yoek, Sept. 26.

A poster has been issued in Rock ingham county calling "a non-Dem ocratic-Populist convention" to meet at an early date. The convention is called "non-Democratic-Populist" because the regular Populist con vention, which met some weeks ago, endorsed Kitchin, the Democratio nominee for Congress. The non-Democratic-Populists were defeated in their primaries and con vention, but they propose to meet and endorse Dalby, the Populist nominee for Congress. The name which this latter organisation as sumes would indicate ..that they are not Democrats and f 4l Populists, but Republicans, f Chairman Ayer was asked whom he would recognize, and he replied that he would recognize the conven tion that endorsed the Populist noin inee. . : .
