finished business. - - , -5
Mr. Richard IL Bat and Dr."
' Sims,C of? the - Tabernacle .church,
representing the petitioners of the
early closing movement were given
permission to address the board.
' Mr. Battle stated that a compromise
had' been- suggested, partially
agreeable to all parties, ' whereby
; the saloons should close at 11 o'clock.
Dr. Sims desired final action,: o.ne
way of the other at last night's meet
ing. 'S. ,
" Alderman Frank Stronach was not
; cogninant of the compromise alluded
. to by Mr. Battle. He stated that his
understanding was that aUparties
had agreed, to allow the matter' to.
pass over until ' January,, . Mr.
Stronach said he had no interest in
the matter other than the interest of
' all the people. He did not think it
proper to impose restrictions on the
- saloon men at this time without due
notice. For other reasons he thought
action should be delayed until Jan
uary. -'. - .
. - Mr. . Ferrall agreed with Mr,
Stronach. ' '
; Alderman Drewry thought it un
, wise to put the ordinance in effect
, now and he made the motion that the
hour of closing saloons be fixed at 11
- o'clock every night except Saturday
night and on Saturday nightat 12
, o'clock, to go into effect - the first
day of January, 1897. v - ..
Dr. Simms stated that the peti
tioners, representing. the moral in-
terests of the oity, had waited pa
tiently and that they wanted(the
Board to take final action. Dr. Simms
said that the early closing movement
, had no political significance attached
to it, but that if the Board failed to
act the question might take a politi
cal turn at some distant day. -V
Mr. Stronach thought that ,'Dr.
Simshad spoken hastily. With all due
respect he expressed the belief that
the question would prove a boome
rang to those persons who attempted
to drag it into politics.
An amendment to Alderman
Drewy's motion to close the saloons
' at 11 o'clock on Saturday's as well
- as the other nights , was defeated,
only one vote being cast in favor of
it.
The ordinance was passed after
more discussion,- without an apposi
tion vote. It is given here : .
Ee it ordained by the Board of
of Aldermen of the city of Raleigh

Baltimore, Oct. ' 3. The sale of
the Seaboard Aia Line system to the
Southern Railway Company'' was
talked of on the stock xohange to
day, and, in quarters usually well
informed, it is .believed that the
former property may pass into the
bands of the latter company. It is
alleged that proposals to buy a con
trolling interest in the stock of the
Seaboard Aii" Line have been re
cently made, and it ts believed that
the proposition is made in behalf of
the Southern Ra'way Company,
which is known to be anxious to
secure contol of the Seaboard, which
is the only drawback to its ambition
to make itself master of the South;
eastern railroad situation. It was
also said that in the 'vent a deal is
not consummated the Seaboard Air
Line, which is now bottled up in
Atlanta, will build - a line to New
Orleans. The name of the Seaboard
does not appear in connection with
the proposed line, but it is said that
it will be operated "as a part of the
Seaboard system or in close connec
tion with it. The' new line would
be 169 miles shorter than nny road
now operated between these points.

: WATSON STICKS TO IT.
"' f :i ' ' "" V' -
1
although There are Rumors of Bis With-
i : drawal la tha Air.
. . -
A special from Atlanta to. yester
day's Baltimore News says:
.--The publication in - this week's
issue of Thomas IS.' Watson's Peo
ple's Party Paper, out today, of an
editorial attack on Chairman. Butler
of the Populist National Committee,
has excited - comment here and is
considered significant in view of the
rumors abroad that Mr. Watson may
retire from the ticket. The editorial
in question is as follows;
''Attempts have been made to show
that Mr. Watson favored fusion in
the State of Indiana. This ja not
correct Mr; Watson look the posi
tion at the beginning of the campaign
that no Populist could consistently
vote for a single Sewall elector any
more than be could vote for a Hobart
elector. " - - 'w
"He filed with Chairman Butler a
written protest against Mr; Butler's
fusion policy. Mr. Butler has
Ignored Mr. Watson's protest and
gone steadily forward on his own
line.
"Mr. Watson's position is now
what it was when the Georgia State
convention met. He is for a straight
Middle-of-the-Road' ticket. In no
other way can the Democratic man
agers be forced to abide by the St.
Louis contract.
A Washington special of yesterday
says:
Officials at both Democratic and
Populist headquarters in this city
claim to have no information with
regard to the report that candidate'
Watson contemplates withdrawing
from the Vice-Presidential contest
While none of them desire to be
quoted, it is evident the report is
thought not well founded. It is,
however, considered possible that
Mr. Watson, who has opposed fusion
in Indiana and other States, may
have expressed himself in a way to
justify the report The Populist
National Committeemen here, how
ever, are quite elated over the ac
complishment of : fusion, notwith
standing Mr- Watson's protests.
Senator Butler says it indicates
the success of the committee's ef
forts in States where no fusion has
yet been accomplished. "And above
all, that the rank and file of the Pop
ulist party will show on election day
that they regard -the- defeat of Mc
Einley and gold monometallism as
the paramount question in the cam
paign. "
Senator Butler has not yet decided
when he will issue his contemplated
address, but it will probably follow
quickly upon Mr. Bryan's letter ac
cepting the Populist nomination,
which is expected to appear within
the next few days.
LEVERING COMING.
The Prohibition Candidate for President
to Speak Hare Preacher in Polities.
The Biblical Recorder will in its
next issue have something to say
about the preacher in politics. The
editorial will be very timely, for at
no time in North Carolina's history
have so many ministers been dab
bing in politics.
The Populist nominee for the Sen
ate, Chas. S. Utley,- is at Wake For
est preparing himself for the minis
try. Mr. Utley will take the stump
in this campaign, however. We

ceived a letter today, from Joshua
Levering, - the Prohibition, nominee
for President, congratulating him on
his decided stand against the out
lawry of tho liquor traffic. Mr. Lev

Unfortunate For Raleigh.
Correspondence Press-Visitor,
- The complications about keeping
the closing of the Yarborough House
are very , unfortunate especially , at
this particular time. We are just
on the eve of the State Fair, which
from, indications will bring to our
eity several thousand people.
The trouble about the hotel being
kept open is merely technical, as we
understand it, and . there are four
men, either of whom can solve the
difficulty; these are the contestants
and their respective attorneys. Are
either one of these gentlemen willing
to assume the responsibility? . N .

MUS.' IL.LAST EVENING.
, '
A Most Cbarrains Success at tha Real,
dene of Mrs. R. S. Tucker.
At the residence of Mrs, R. S.
Tucker last evening a delightful
musical was given for the benefit of
St Mary's Alumnae, and the tidy
sum of $30 was derived therefrom.
" The magnificent residence was
thrown open to the society people of
Raleigh. The interior of the man
sion was beautifully decorated with
choice cut flowers.
- Some of Raleigh's most cultivated
musical talent assisted in the rendi
tion of the program. The program
was as follows:
1. Piano Duett, Mrs. Knox, Miss
Dowd.
' 2. Vocal Solo, Miss Tucker.
3. Violin Solo, Miss Bagley.
4. Vocal Solo, Miss Merrimon.
5. Violin Solo, Miss Johnson.
6. Vocal Solo, Miss Such.
7. Piano Solo, Miss Bush.
8. Vocal and Violin, Miss Ward,
Miss Tucker, Prof. Mack.
The program was a varied one
and calculated to please.
The new teacher of singing at St.
Mary's, Miss Such, appeared for the
first time before a Raleigh assem
blage. Miss Such possesses a voice
carefully and well trained, full in
volume, rich in tone' and always
sweet and pleasing to the ear. Her
solo last evening was captivating.
The distinction of making the mu
sical such a charming success can
be attributed largely to Mrs, James
Boy lan and Mrs. T. T, Hay.
