The an pouncement of twelve suspicious cases on one square in this city, and that three cases had developed since the death of a young lady, who had come from Ocean Springs, caused a large measure of alarm in the public mind early in the day, but this was allayed when the facts became known.

Dad Business Causes the Widow Goldstein Company to Return to New York. The Widow Goldstein Company cancelled its Southern engagements and returned to New York this morning by the Southern Railway via Norfolk. The bad business, duo to the in tense heat, caused Manager Marks to lake the step. The company played the large Virginia towns and business was not much better there than in Raleigh . Manage.' Marks will take the company west from New York, where he can escape the heat that has produced such bad business. The company was to have played in Goldsboro tonight, Wilmington Monday, and Florence, S. C. Tues day. They were booked south as far as New Orleans. The Widow Goldstein, the new three act comedy, was presented at the Academy of Music last evening to a very small audience, but an ap preciative one that was liberal in its manifestations of applause. The evening was one of the warm est of the year and the heat was al most unbearable. The Widow Gold stein is not deserving of the raps given it by certain Norfolk aid Richmond papers. The piece is a good one and is bound to be a win ner. Though the heat was intense the company presented the play in an altogether acceptable manner. The work of Mr. Harry Rogers, as Sam Goldstein was the life of the play. He represents the legitimate in comedy and it was plainly evident that be was the favorite with those present. BANCROFT, MAGICIAN. A Notable Engagement at tho Academy Next Friday Night. In Bancroft's brilliant entertain ment modern magic has reached its climactic point. The death of the late Ilerrman left Bancroft the su preme and undisputed master of the field, but it is not too much to say that even if the old veteran were alive today he could scarcely hope to hold his own in comparison with the splendid genius of the youuger man. Bancroft's performance in cludes many of his latest inventions and novelties and his newest feats of legerdemain exceed anything of the kind heretofore presented. The perfect bearing of the finished artist is observable in every move and sylable of the magician's statfe presence and conversation and it is certain that he has reached the pinnacle of artistic success. Costly scenery and elaborate sur roundings add mystery and bewil derment to his unrivalled perform ance. The scenery for one of his prin cipal acts is painted to represent oy nx columns and in the background s an immense marble stair case, descending which, the magician makes his first appearance. The scene is a beautiful one and off set by magnificently carved furniture. There are tables supported by ele phants' tusks, coiling serpents and other equally unique designs. The entire programme is staged in the same sumptuous fashion. Bancroft is a matchless personification of sur prise and mystery. His natural equipment as a magician and en tertainer has neyer been equalled. His slight-of-hand skill is complete ly baffling and far in advance of the magicians of the old school. He has been called the "end of the century magician." He is remark ably handsome', with charm of man ner and wit as an entertainer that make his performance as merry as it is mysterious. Among the many special features which are novelties in his repertoire for this season may be mentioned the "Secrets of Jeypore," the "Oracle of Egypt," the Miracles of Chunder Hula," and the "Unveiled Marvels of the Pyra mids." The programme which Bancroft will present next Friday at the Academy of Musio eclipses all of his previous efforts and his enter tainment is one ot the most note worthy of this season's theatrical attractions. It's the Truth, Bailey. The Raleigh correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says: Senator Butler is shouting "De pose the commissioners!" Bailey of North Carolina wants to know why, if there Is such a row aboutthe rent ing by Maj Wilson to Otho Wilson of the Round Knob eating house, Is not correct to ask If there is "un due influence" in the leasing of Gov. Russell's seaside villa to Senator ButleV. A BEAUTIFUL COIN. The Souvenir Issued for the Cause of the Cuban Republic. Several of the souvenir coins of the Cuban republic, which are being sold to secure funds for the fighting patriots have been received in Ral - eigh during the past faw days. The coin, which is of silver, is a work of art. A. J. Cobe, president of the Bel -seur Coal Mining Company, of New York, while visiting Havanna last winter, became interested in the Cu ban war and on his return north, de termined to help the struggling Cu bans. He consulted the Cuban Junta in New York and proposed to them the idea of issuing a silver dollar re deemable by the Cuban republic on obtaining their liberty. He offered to furnish the capital necessary and give all the profits to the Junta February last he bought machinery at a cost of eighteen thousand dol lars and bad dies cast for the mak ing of the coin. When his first issue was ready the United States Treasury depart- ment'at Washington made him stop the coinage on account of internat ional law which forbids coining money . The design of the coin on one side was a beautiful head, really a work of art, representing Liberty with the words "Patria y Libertad, 1807, Uno Pesso" on the reverse side, a shield, the rising sun and a key with the words "RepublicaDe Cuba" and six stars. When the government interferred with the coinage, to get around the law the words " Uno Pesso" which means one dollar, was removed and "Sou venir" put on instead. The coin is about the size of an American dollar and contains the same amount of silver. The cost of the making of the coin is about sixty cents and is sold for one dollar, the profit of forty cents going to thf Cuban eaus.5 to pur chase amuuition, guns, war vessels, etc. About one hundred thousand have already been sold and it is ex pected to sell at least one million of these souvenirs. It makes a beautiful pocket piece and is quite a curiosity for ccin col lectors and it is hoped in the near future will be redeemable by the republic of Cuba for one good Amer ican dollar. Every sympathizer with Cuba should possess one of these beautiful souvenirs. MAY BE COOLER MONDAY The Weather Bureau Predicts a Slight Chance for liain on Monday.

During the early part of the week the preaching was done by Rev. T, H. Bain, formerly of this city, who preached 'with power. Six young ladies were converted Thursday night. RevjtJohn F. Batt of Char lotte, former pastor of Brooklyn Mission has arrived and is now preaching to great crowds who come out nightly to hear their old pastor.

Mayor Russ fined a hack-driver named Ruth 17.25 this morning for violating a depot ordinance. SPED PAST CROSSING Engineer Failed to Stop in a Race Near Cary. AN INVESTIGATION HAD, Superintendent Mcltec Examines l-.ngl-neer Allen Southern Engineer at Fault Passenger Trains Raced. An investigation is now being had by the Seaboard authorities of a race between the Southern Railway and Seaboard mail trains from here to Cary, in which it is alleged that the engineer of the Southern failed to stop or slack up when he crossed the Seaboard track this side of Cary, though fully cognizant of the fact that the Seaboard traiu was speed ing just behind at the rate of 60 miles an hour. The General Superintendent of the Seaboard, Mr. V. E McBee, summoned Enginner Tom Allen to appear before nun at Portsmouth, and furnish the facts in the matter as he knew them. No blame is attached to Engineer Allen, who was at the throttle on No -II, the Seaboard engine, as he made a full stop before covering the Southern's track. If the facts as alleged are develop ed at the investigation by the Sea board, them charges will be prefer red and turned over to the Southern. It is difficult to believe that an an engineer would be so reckless and careless as to be guilty of the charge, preferred against the South ern railway engineer. FARMER FLIM-FLAMMED. Two Tow n Hoys do up a Conntrvmnn I'rom Holly Springs. Nelson Battle isa welltotlofarmer from Holly Springs. This morning he came to Raleigh and disposed of a wagon load of fruit and vegetables. After making sale of these goods Nelson went to a livery stable to put iip his bjrse in or.ler to do some shopping. But here is where the innocent fanner made a mistake. He was sized up by a glib colored youth, who gave him the glad hand and in vited him around the corner, where he made it appear that he bad all kinds of easy money to pick up. When around the corner the youth with the gay face was accost ed by a companion who offered to sell him a deck of cards. These the other fellow agreed to buy and pulled out a dollar with which to pay for them. Neither of the boys claimed to have any change and the old man from Holly Springs was asked to make the change. He pulled out a handful of money. One of the boys grabbed the money in the old man's hand and ran, fol lowed by his partner. The coun tryman was so dumbfounded that he did not fully realize what had hap pened for several minutes. OOld man Battle reported the oc curence to the officers, but there is no way to locate the boys. MARSHALLSAT THE FAIR Col, l.ybrook Coming with Aides, Who will Bring their Own Horses. Col. P. II. Ly brook, the Chief Marshall of the State fair writes that eight young gentlemen of Winston have been appointed aides to the Chief Marhshall and that they will accompany him to the fair, each bringing his own horse. Col. Ly brook and aides will make the Park Hotel headquarters, apartments having already been secured. Col. Lv brook also states in the letter, which is addressed to Major J. E, Alexander, that 34 gentlemen from other parts of the state have signified their intention of being present at the Fair. The chief marshall further says that seventy-five assistant marsh alls outside of those in Raleigh will be present. Quite a number of Ral eigh gentlemen have been requested to act as assistant marshalls. Sheriff Call, of Wilkesboro, brought two convicts, both boys, to the penitentiary today. Andrew Buze, a lad of about 19 years of age, comes to serve a twelve year term for manslaughter. The other con vict, who is colored, serves a short term. Mr S C Pool, after spending some time at Buffalo Lithia Springs, Va., has returned home. ODD FELLOWS COLUMN What the Order Is Doing Throughout the State. The brethren are glad to welcome back to the city brother Bryant of Peace Institute, who has been so journeying among the green hills of Vermont. A new orchestra is soon to be organized in Capitol Lodge under the directorship of Prof. Bryant. The Sovereign Grand Lodge will witness the opening of a new dormi tory for the girls at the orphan home of Lincoln, Illinois at the coming session. This is one of the best con ducted homes in the land and is a monument to the sisters of that ju risdiction. Past Grand Sire Busbee will visit the Nashville Exposition on his way to Springfield to attend the session of the Soverign Grand Lodge. No Past Grand Sire has more friends, or is more a favorite among the members of that august body than is our Brother Busbee. While the order in the world is going ahead, our Grand Secretary is trying to build up the same in our midst. On the afternoon of Wednes day last the Daughters of Rebecca, which is a branch of the order and is a valuable auxilliary too, was or ganized at Charlotte and here is what the Charlotte paper says of it: "The order, Daughters of Rebecca, was instituted yesterday afternoon in the Odd Fellows! Hall, in the Davidson building, by Mr. B. II. Woodell with twenty members. "Pretty gold badges, orpins, of the order were presented the Noble Grand and Vice Noble Grand, Mr. J. A. Bell making the presentation speech iD handsome words and style." Whenever the good women of this State make up their minds fully to assist their brethren in visiting the sick, relieving the distressed, bury ing the dead and educating,the or phan as they are doing for other similar organizations, we may ex pect to see great and grand results as are now being accomplished in the north and west by the true Re beccas. Such orphan homes as the one at Lincoln, 111., where a new girls dormitory will be thrown open next week, is the result of the Re beccas of that grand jurisdiction. All eyes are now turned towards Springfield, 111., where the Soveregn Grand Lodge meets on the 20th. The advance reports of the officers show a membership of nine hundred and ninety-seven thousand members and $68,000 on hand. The running ex penses for the fiscal year has been $62,000. There has been expended for relief alone during the past sixty six years 74,35G,GiiS The coming session, being held at a central point, bids fair to be the largest in point of numbers of any in years. The meetings are to be held in the House of Representatives and the Governor holds a reception in honor of the order at the Governors Man sion. The capital city of Illinois will strive to excell if possible all previous demonstrations. Our Vir ginia brethren are making strenu ous efforts, as is al so the you ng me n 's business association to secure for Richmond the 1898 session. SOWING THE WIND. A Splendid Attraction at Metropolitan Opera House. If there were not a number ot more or less good plays now before the public having a similar theme as "Sowing the Wind," by Sydney Grundy, this play would mark an epoch in dramatic literature. As it is, it iscertainly the greatest and admittedly the cleanest of them all. It bandies a great question boldly, yet with the utmost delicacy, garnished with the grace of superlatively excellent English and devoid of offensive flippancy. Few plays of the gene ration have given so strong evidence of power to fascinate, interest and hold the play-going public. We will understand the reason when one of the greatest companies which has ever illustrated it will be seen at the Metropolitan, i Falrbrother Indicted for Libel. The grand jury of Durham county have returned a true bill against Al. Falrbrother, formerly editor of the Durham Globe, but now editor of Fairbrother's Farrago, published at Danville, Va., for criminal libel. The case will come up for trial at the January term of court. It is alleged that George W. Watts, a member of the firm of W. Duke, Sons & Co., was the person libelled, and that publication of the articles appeared some time last spring or early sum mer in the Farrago GETS THREE YEARS. Milam, the Lmhezlcr, is Sentenced tu the Penitentiary. John L. Milam, the local1 ticket agent at Charlotte who embezzled $1,444.44, the property of he Sea board Air Line, was sentenced to three years imprisonment in the penitentiary last evening. Mr. Milam was, at the time '.he theft was committed, chief clerk in the Seaboard's ticket ollice in Char lotte. He began to deal in futures and this was the secret of his down fall. He mysteriously disappeared the evening of August 3d and noth ing was heard of him un'.il he was arrested at Morristown, Tenu. He came back to Charlotte without re quisition papers and has since been confined in the county jail. Milam is a man of family and is about 50 years oldvlIe has hold sev eral prominent positions with differ ent roads in the south and is consid ered one of the best of ticket agents. Mr.Gilbert, representing the bond company, of Baltimore, was put on the stand end questioned regarding the surety bond that Milam hi Id for $2,000 in his company. TODAY'S MARKETS.
