Origi nal package people, competitors of the dispensary under recent decis ions of the United States courts, re ceived a shock today when the Southern and Atlantic Coast Line roads, controlling three fourths of all inter-State lines, posted circulars refusing to hereafter receive for shipment into this State unboxed liquor packed in chaff or sawdust in cars. It is only by such shipments that the "original package" dealers can .'ell with profit, as otherwise bottles must be packed and shipped sepa rately or in c?se, and cases cannot be broken . The decision is believed to be the outcome of a conference between traffic managers of th3 roads and Governor Ellerbe, held two weeks agoatthe Governor's request. These roads have done an immense busi ness with this class of freight, and have not sustained a single ys. Oberlin Shocked. Mollie Davis, a respectable resi dent of Oberlin, shocked the inhabi tants of that village yesterday after noon by disrobing and taking flight through the principal thoroughfare. Mollie was forcibly taken and locked up until this morning when she was adjudged insane and will be sent to the asylum at Goldsboro. Annie Banks, of Garner was also adjudged insane and taken to Golds boro this afternoon by Deputy Black nail. Justices Roberts and Rivers held both inquisitions of lunacy. Mr. George Tonoffski, of the clerk of the court's office, came across a valuable book this morning. It con tained the laws of N. C, from 1717 to 1796. Notable among the contents of the publication was the charter granted by Chas. II, of England, to the prospectors of the Carolina. A NOVEL SWINDLER. Charged With Fraudulent I'se of I . S, Mail Inspector Gregory's Work. Special to the Press-Visitor. Grke.nvii.le, N. C, Sept. 27, 1897, Wednesday, night Sept. 15th, 1807, Peter Dudley, a negro man residing near Johnsons Mills, in Pitt county was brought before United States Commissioner, A. J. Lofton, charg ed with fraudulent use of United States Mails, or an attempt to swin die through the mails; having been arrested upon a warrant sworn out by postmaster inspector II. T. Gre gory. Dudley wascommitted to jail in default of bail to await trial in United States court at Newbern, N. C. The witnesses for the govern ment, besides the inspector, were Miss Annie B. Harding, Miss Martha Harding and Walter F. Harding, all of Johnsons Mills, N C, the former having been post maste r at that office for sometime. Dudley was engaged in peddling medicines, remedies, etc., about the country, and his scheme appears to have been to indoce Sears, Roebuck & Co., of Chicago, III , to send him money for an allegpd registered let ter, which he claims to have sent them, containing $3o. 47, butof which no record has been found, and in stead of reporting the matter to his postmaster, or the postoffice depart ment, he enters into correspondence with the postmaster at Chicago and the firm, intending to convince them by various letters tmd two mutilated register receipts, that he bad sent tbe registered letter; the receipts having been altered in Dudley's writing and afterwards had ink poured over them to hide the altera tions. He gradually weakend on the amount he claims until he stated that almost any amount would sat isfy him. His object was evidently exposed when he claimed that the firm had written him previously that they had $5,000 in bank, which had been sent them by parties failing to sign their names to orders, and he claims to have failed to sign his name to his order in the alleged let ter. Revival at Central Church. Contributed. The revival at Central Methodist church still conlinurs without any abatement in interest. The sermon by the pastor last evening from the 14 chapter of the Gospel by Luke, known as the parable of the "mar riage supper," was delivered with great force and earnestness, in which were described tbo greatness of the plan of salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ first in respect to its free dom; second, to its universality; third, to its adaptability; and fourth and lastly, but not least, its great cost, being nothing less than the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. At the close of the sermon penitents were invited and a number came forward to be prayed for. We were much gratified to witness the presence of our well beloved brother, Rev. W. C. Norman, of Edenton street church, who rendered valua ble assistance at the altar. L t every member rally to the help of the pas tor in this great and important work of soul saving. We are so thankful for the prospect of a gracious work. West's Excursion a Big Success. The Asheville Citizen, of yester day, says of Jm West's' excursion, which left here Tuesday morning: "J H. West's excursion from Dan ville, Raleigh, Greensboro and Char lotte, reached Asheville last evening about eight o'clock, bringing 682 people. "It is the largest excursion of the year, the largest number heretofore being 500, and the visitors make one of the finest lookingexcursion crowds that has come to Asheville. This trafn load increases the total Dum ber of excursionists coming here this year to 7.142. Sleet Off Hatteras. The Piladelphla Times, of the 13; says: "While the people in this city were suffering last Thursday from the extreme heat the crew of the steamer Ethelred, which reached this port last evening, wejje almost frozen by cold weather. Off" Cape Hatteras the Ethelred was struck by a cold "wsrve," which almost froze the crew. The mercury drop ped 59 degrees in three hours. When the windshad subsided considerably the coldest kind of sleet fell until until the dack of the vessel was dangerous to tread upon. Tbe sleet was followeJ by a fierce snow storm, which continued for 15 minutes. A DEAD LETTER. An Important Law Which Hub Not Been Enforced in Years. Mr. W. W. Briscoe,of Warrenton N. C, writes the Press-Visitor the following communication: Section 2030 of our Code reads as follows: "Overseers shall cause to be set up, at the forks of their re spective roads, a post or posts, with arms pointiug the way of each road, with plaiu and durable directions to the most pu lie places to which they lead, and with the number of miles from that place, as near as can be computed; and every overseer who shall, for ten days after notice of his appointment, neglect to do so and to keep the same in repair, shall forfeit and pay for every such neglect ten dollars." Section 2031.of tie Code reads as follows: "Any person, who shall wantonly remove, knock down or deface the said posts, arms or any mile mark shall, for every such of fence, forfeit and pay to the State ten dollars and be guilty of a misde meanor." This law is still a live law; yet if our people will travel in a buggy through any county in the state they will find there is not one overseer who conforms to the law. Why ; is it? Are they ignorant as to the existance of such a laws, or do they think it a useless effort on their part, to assist the traveler by 'point ing out to him the way he wants to go, and thereby saving him a vast amount of trouble having to stop and inquire his or her way at every house along his route provided there are houses for him a gain the desired information, if not the traveler must rely upon his own judgment, and nine chances to ten he will lose his way, which in a great many instances, is very em barrassing. The trouble, I fear, is that the overseers think every one knows their individual roads as well as they do, but it is not the case. One going from one section of the state to another without some guide to go by is like a boat, at sea without a compass. Who is the proper person to in form the overseers of their neglect of duty? Will the press please in inform me or him and I will take the matter up at once. HOPPER'S ENGAGEMENT. Comic Opera Star to Appear In London Shortly After he is in Raleigh. Announcement is made in the Dra matic Miror this week that De Wolf Hopper will produce El Captain in London after January. The engage ment calls for an indefinite run. As is known the great comic opera star and his excellent company will produce El Captain at the Academy of Music in this city December the ninth, before he enters upon his London engagement. Mr. Hopper has presented El Capitan for the better part of the past two seasons in New York city. The engagement of De Wbfe Hop per, who will be supported by the petite Edna Wallace Hopper, is the most no'able event in Raleigh's theatrical history. An absolute guarantee of 1800 was required to induce the star to come here and this would not have been the case had not the railway connections been more favorable than in some of the larger Southern cities. Since the announcement of the engagement of the great star, the management of the Academy of Music has had requests for seats from numbers of towns in the state. Lillian Lewis. Miss Lillian Lewis comes to the Academy of Music at an early date direct from a successful run in Bos ton to present "For Liberty aad Love." Noadvance will be made in the prices. This play has created a great sensation in the north. Boston papers have devoted columns of glowing praise to Miss Lewis, play, production, and cast. So intense is the story and theme that it becomes of persenal and direct concern to every American. Today's Appointments. By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. Washington, Set. 17.

DIFFERENCES ENDED Ohio Miners Returned to Work Tli is Morning. ANOTHER OUTBREAK. Miners Attacked u Powder House "car llalctou-.-Assistuiicc Sent to the Scene at Once. Ci.kvk . .N'D, Ohio, Sept. 17. Twen ty hundred miners went to work in the Massillon district today. They agreed to ignore the ten day's pro vision adopted at Columbus. The difference between the operators and miners was adjusted last night at a conference at Massillon. Both sides made concessions. A uniform car limit was established. The price paid for break th roughs and room turning being increased. Ha.i.kvoh, Sept. 17. Word was received h$re this morniug by tele phone from one of the night watch men at the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre mine at Cranberry, stating that a crowd of strikers were breaking into the powder house owned by Edward Turnbeck, who was one of the deputies that took part in the shooting Friday. The message called earnestly for troops and a force was iuimediatel y directed to hasten to the scene of disturbance. Invalid Cities. "There is a close analogy between the birth, growth, and success or failure of a man, and the founding, development, successor failure of a city. Both hae or should have means of obtaining supplies, organs for assimulution, arteries and veins through which life blood circulates. It is indeed an unfortunate man who has poor circulation, or who fails to be properly benefited by the food which ha is able to obtain. Such a ma&Aags with heavy tread behind his fellows. The word "in valid" is stamped upon his face although he may not know it. If iu the above simile we write avenues"forarteries and "streets'' for veins the reader at once sees a complete analogy, and that a city sutleringbecause of the lack of prop er avenues and streets can be re garded as an : 'invalid city." False local pride alone will not suffice to enable th it city to compete with others. We can quickly think of several cities thus enfeebled. l!urlars Stay to Itreakfust. By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. Media, Pa., Sept. Hi. While the family were asleep up stairs the residence near Moylan, of Deputy Sheriff Walter S Pen ne will, of Phila delphia, was entered by burglars early this morning, aud all the family silver, worth several hundred dollars, was stolen.

They were tracked by boxes and papers dropped to the Wallingford road, where they evidently had a team. Kef used $1,000 for 1,000 Bushels. Mr. George Sigmon, of Catawba county, we are iuformed, last week refused an offer of $1,000 for 1,000 bushels of wlnat.

These gentlemen have just com pleted a tour of the Seaboard Air Line in this state stoppingat several towns where they made investiga tion of the resources of the soil and climatic conditions.

Messrs Kuipe and White intend to make investments in considerable amounts of land, whbh they will ikely populate with settlers. The Meeting at the Park Hotel. This meeting W3 tind was called by persons interested in the welfare of Raleigh. Several matters were discussed but the principal subject was, the desirability of putting in active operation the charter granted to the South Atlantic Life Insurance Company of North Carolina. The meeting was not large, but when twenty-five of the solid, active busi ness men of the city meet on such a hotjnight, and patiently discuss a subject, the- inference, is that the matter is worth considering. The meeting was presided over by Mr. N B Broughton, and interesting and valuable remarks were made by Messrs. R H Battle, John Nichols, J E Pogue, Frank Ward and others. The statement was made by an officer officer of the company that the capital stock of the company would be $100,000, and that it only required now about $25,000 in ad dition to what bad been subscrib ed in order to put the company in condition to begin work. The state ment was also made that plans had been prepared under the supervis ion of a New York actuary which were conservative and which wojld amply protect both the stockhold ers and policy-holders. The stock is being sold on the monthly pay ment plan, giving 100 months in which to make the payments Con siderable stock was taken and a committee was directed to wait on the citizens, and endeavor to have the full amount taken, and to re port to an adjourned meeting on Thursday evening, September 30th, at the Park hotel.

HIS SWORD RECOVERED. Major llurrage of Maine I inJs Mis Long Lost Prize. Major Henry S. Burrage of Port land, Me., who some time ago wrote to Governor Russell with the object of recovering his long lost sword, which was taken from him near Petersburg by North Carolina troops, has found the much prized relit:. He writes the Governor under date of Sept- uth. ' -Yesterday I re ceived my long lost sword. You can hardly imagine with what feel ings I took the sword again in my hands after so many years. War time memories crowded upon me and upon the scabbard were still the stains of blood which cam.' from a wound received at the battle of Cold Harbor. "I wish to thank you and all the other North Carolinafriends. among them Col. Harrell for your kindly assistance in my search for the sword. If I had not recovered the sword I should have been well re paid for my trouble by the interest ing and most kindly letters which I received, and especially by the evi dences they furnish that we all now brethren, members of a commou country and united in heart and purpose under one Hug." The sword was taken from Maj Burrage at Petersburg; Nov. 1, 1SH4. when that officer was captured while trying to exchange newspapers. The sword was taken by Lieutenant Teague of this slate. It drifted to Missouri and was in use in a masonic lodge in Belton, Missouri, when Maj. Burraae recovered it. TODAY'S MARKETS.
