There are several petitions for Rebekab Lodges expected soon. The new building at the Orphan Home is about completed. We are glad to learn that Grand Treasurer Jones is able to be at bis office again. If the railroads and hotels do not give better rates than last year we suggest that the next session of the Grand Lodge be held in Raleigh. The difference in .railroad fare be tween Raleigh and Charlotte at the same rate will cost the Grand Lodge about four hundred dollars. If the Grand Lodge had met in Raleigh every year for the past twenty and had saved tho difference in mileage it would now buy a lot and put a good building on it. There is a rumor in the wind that some one is going to do a nice thing for our Orphan Home, don't sav it is too good to be true. Representative Petree wbo voted against the bill to annul the lease, when it was before 4he house, will not support Grant's substitute when it comes to the house for rati fication. There is going to be oysters and other refreshments served at one of the Lodge' meetings the coming week, and ycu who seldom attend except at feed time bad better attend all four of the Lodges in order to be certain to fill up one more time. Sam Jones said that "a clean hog could go into a mud hole, but a clean hog never comes out of one." An Odd Fellow may engage in disrepu table things but he cannot be a true Odd Fellow while doing so. Mud will stick. It is the bitten dog that hollers, as Bro. Perrin Busbee will testify, instead of the "hit dog" -as Sam Jones has it. Mary a random shot, sent forth with no intent to wound, has caused the discovery of the dog whose tail was bitten, much o the surprise of those who are passing On Tuesday evening last, capital lodge, after transacting its business paid a fraternal visittoManteo lodge, then in session. The grand scre tary and other visiting brothers ac companied capital and formed quite a procession. The meeting was cordial and the good of the order discussed by several of the visitors, among whom was Rev. J L Burns ot Eclipse No 32, who is an interesting and enter taining speaker. Our grand secretary has been putting in some earnest, hard work for the order during the -past three weeks. He has visited during that time some of our best working lodges, but the greater part of the time has been spent with those which have become dormant and are in a waning condition. Very few of our members who happen to be so fortunate as to be long to a live, progressive lodge can form any idea of the hardship and trials of the members, sometimes only one or two, who.love the Order as much as we do, but whose lot is cast with a lodge whose members become careless and whose treasury is exhausted and which seems upon the whole to prefer to die rather than live. Sometimes we find them unable to battle with the waves suc cessfully and have to g6 under. Such men are to be pitied for they are brave, but what can bravery do singly and alone? It is united bra very that suoceeds. W" wish every Grand Off cer could see the situation in our weak, struggling lodges and realize what many of them never seem to suppose really exists. If this could be there might result some beneficial legislation now and then which we fail to get, but is none the less needed. TUESDAYTHE DAY. Tha Pnblio Printing Wilt Da Ut dt tha " Leglalatara.

Engineer Uicka Resigns It is announced that "Old Man Jake" Hicks, as the boys call him, for many, many years an engineer on the N. C. R.

O. division between Greensboro and Raleigh, was transferred to tbe Mocksville run to give place to & younger man, the idea being that the Mocksville run would suit him better, but it seems he did not like it this slow business so he has resigned, or at least this is the report. He may be getting up in years, but be wants it understood he is none of your slow coaches. Representative Hanctfck'a Office Burned.

Denoaneea Mr. Alexander nnd Sara he Triad to bribe Hla. . ' Senator, Hyatt last evening gave out a statement to the press from his standpoint as to the difficulty be tweea Mr. Alexander and himself on the Senate floor yesterday. ' . , Mr Hyatt expected to arise to a question of personal privilege this morning to make a few remarks about the incident, but he decided at the last moment not to do so. A large number of persons were there-' -by disappointed. : V. -. ; Mr Hyatt's statement: -y ' "Mr. Alexander came to me this . morning and began talking to me about the lease question. We had quite a little friendly folk, las ing about 1 quarter of an hour, and he attempted to persuade me so vote to v annul the lease of the North Caro lina railroad. I explained to him my -position, by stating that I was sent to the senate by the people of my . district, and that I had received -several petitions from them asklo . that I use m y influence in favor , of , the lease; and that as their repre- ' sentative, I would do as they de sired. Mr. Alexander then said the Governor was going to take -care of his friends, and asked me if I would accept a position if it was offered me. I told him that, all things .. considered, I would do so with pleas ure, if it was offered in the proper manner. "Mr. Alexander then left me and appeared in a very trood humor. In about a half an hour he returned .to the Senate chamber and beckoned to me. I left my seat and went to him, and we walked into one of tbe library rooms in the Senate chamber. On arriving there, Alexander turned to me, and said that if I would stand by the Governor in this North Carolina Railroad lease question, that Gover nor Russell would appoint me asi Secretary to the Board of Agricul ture at a salary of $1,500 per year. As he said this I grabbed him by the lapel of the coat with my left hand and struck him on the neck with my right hand and followed up the blow with several on the chest . and shoulders, and told him that he was a dirty, contemptible coward to make me such a proposition," and I looked upon it asan infamous insult. I was so mad that I would have hurt him badly but for the fact that the Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms and Representative Aiken grabbed me a.id came between us. Thev asked me what was the matter and I told them that the damned coward had tried to bride me by offering me a position in the agricultural department for my vote on the railroad lease ques tion. I consider this offer as a bribe , of the lowest order, and I resented the insult by striking the cur who made it. I consider my honor as a man dearer to me than any position Governor Russell or his allies can offer me. I denounce the act as a piece of cowardly business, and in resenting the insult I have done whatany true North Corolina citizen should have done. "I will rise today before the Sen ate and refer to the matter as a per sonal privilege, and will see if the governor can offer bribes to the members of the assembly with im punity. I do not come from a dis trict where such acts would be tolerated." A FAIR SUNDAY Will ho Colder Tonight, bat Warmer To morrow. Father von Herrmann promises us fair weather Sunday. The predica tion tonight is fair and colder. Th morrow it will become warmer. The , temperature this morning was 30.
