The l-'alr Procession FrunMIn lioblnson Clrcus-.-Ilie Happenings of the liay-'-Progrummc for Wed ncsJav Tliis Las been a great day in Ral eigh. The crowds began to pour into the city early in the morning from the country in every conceiva ble conveyance. Every train aug mented the great crowd and indeed the people have something to draw tbem to the city! Raleigh never had more attractions at one time. The greatest fair the State has bad in years is in progress, the Franklin Robinson circus is here, the Wilbur Opera Company is showing in the Academy of Music, the Wood ward -Warren Company is holding forth in the Metropolitan Opera House, the State agricultural board is in ses sion and so are the directors of the State prison, the executive commit tee of the State Farmers' Alliance and the Railroad Commission, the fa mousStatcsville band is charming the vast crowd with its free concerts, the celebrated Grime's Battery is in the city, a reunion and banquet will be given in the Yarboro by the Watauga club tonight and the young men's Republican league ill meet in the Senate Cbambet; this evening. What more could a city want for one day ? 1 he Circus. By nine o'clock the people were collecting on Fayetteville street and Hillsboro to see the circus parade. A circus parade always draws a crowd. By 10:30 every available position was taken on Fayetteville street and crowds stojd on the porches and sidewalks of the other streets through which the procession was to pass. It was witnessed by almost every one in the city and by twelve o'clock the crowd had turned their faces towards the great tent in Cameron's field just west of St. Mary's. The ele phant which killed her keeper at Greensboro was easily recognized and attracted much attention. The spectators gave her plenty of room. The (ireat Fair. At noon the fair of the North Caro lina Agricultural Association for 1897 was opened by the Governor of the State. The procession was formed in front of the Yarborough House at 11:30. The procession, as it moved to the grounds, was led by the famous Statesville band. This is the banc? of the 14th Regiment of the North Carolina State Guard and this band certainly cannot be sur passed in this State. The wisdom of the president and secretary of the association in securing them has been fully demonstrated. Following the Statesville band came the Governor's Guard, the pride of Raleigh, with thirty-six privates inline, commanded by Cap tain Crawford. This was an excel lent showing and the boys never ap peared to better advantage. The Grimes" Battery of Ports mouth, under the command of Cap tain Cary Warren, followed. This is a handsome body of men and their beautiful uniforms and military bearing drew forth the admiration of every one of the vast throng which reviewed them. The Grimes Battery arrived from Portsmouth on the Atlanta special about 3 o'clock this morning. Tbey were met at the station by the Governor's Guard. The people of Raleigh have thrown wide the doors of their homes to these guests. Carriages with some of the State's distinguished men preceeded the marshals. The first carriage con tained Governor Daniel L Russell, Hon Richard H Battle, president of the North Carolina Agricultural So ciety; Hon William Russ, mayor of Raleigh; and Muj Joseph Alexander, private secretary to the governor, while the second carriage was ocsu- pied by State officials Auditor H W Ayer, Secretary Cyrus Thompson and Treasurer Worth. The marshals drew up the rear. Handsome men and handsome horses characterized the body. Col P H Ly brook, the chief marshal, deserves great credit for his management of the procession. He gracefully rode the beautiful horse he brought with him. Id fact the marshals who came with him from Winston all brought their horses and they cer tainly have reason to be proud of them. Governor Russell, in a few well chosen words opened the fair, which promises to be the most successful the State has had for years. Today's Races.

Gossip of Interest at the National Capi tal. Special to Press-Visitor. Wasiiiniitiin, Oct. lit. According to private letters re ceived from those who move in di plomatic circles in London, Mr. Mc Kinley became very much afraid about the time the governor of the bank of England made that silver bluff, that his own bluff, the interna tional bimetallic commission, was being seriously taken by the British government, and caused it to be un officially intimated to Lord Salisbury that this government had no real de sire that any steps should be taken that were likely to lead to interna tional bimetallism, as it was slowly but surely paving the way to make the single gold standard permanent in the United States. No one in administration circles has denied the statement that Attor ney General MeKenna is to have the vacancy made by the retirement of Justice Field from the United States supreme court, on December 1, al- thougti there is one special and par ticular reason why Mr. .MeKenna should never sit on the supreme court he is too friendly to the big corporations, this was known before lie came to Washington, but addit ional proof was given by his avidity to ratify the bargain made under the Cleveland administration for the sale of the Union P.icifie railroad to the Huntington reorganization commit tee, under co' ,! noes vvlncli practi cally shut cut competition in the bidding. An attempt is no'.v being made to get Mr. Mi-Kinlcy to inter pose his authority in some way to stop the sale of the Union PaciHic at least until the conditions of the sale can be changed so as to mike them as fair to oue set of bidders as to another, but there seems to be some doubt of his authority and more of his inclina'.ion to interfere, after Boss Hanna had told the Hunting ton ring that the sale should lie put through under the old agreement, al though the government willlosemil lionsof dollars by the sale under present conditions. It is no longer a secret that Gen. Fitz Lee, who has been much before the public since he became our Con sul General to Cuba, will be a can didate for the seat now held by Senator Martin. It is also fully un derstood that Gen Lee will, when he returns from CuDa, probably early next year, begin a personal canvass for the senatorship, which he in tends shall cover the entire state of Virginia, even to its remotest cor ners. The administration fully - recog nizes the danger of a big treasury defic't during the next fiscal year, added to that which is being piled up during the current fiscal year, and at the last cabinet meeting it was determined that the depart mental estimates for appropriations to be submitted to the coming ses sion of congress, should be cut down as low as possible, in order to try to get the expenditures down to the receipts of the government. This is confirmation of the argu ments presented by prominent dem ocrats while the tariff bill was before congress, that the bill would not raise sufficient revenue. During the week October 18 to 2.!, inclusive, the fare on the Hillsboro street line, will be ten cents until 6:30 p. m. The Raleigh Electric Company, Eugene F. Carpenter, Superintendent. The Carriage Service Proves Populur. By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. Nkw York, Oct. 1!. The reason able rate of the carriage service cs tablished by the New York Central railway, is proving so popular that there is talk of extending the same to other important cities. The pop ularity is due in a measure to the comfortable aud attractive vehicles. Motor carriagesare being suggested for the service. KILLED BY A CAR A Negro. Thomas Hawkins, Meets a Suddei: Death. THKCOIiOXKR.S IXOl'Ks'l Kveiy One .;;rccd llial Hi own Cureli. ik'ss Was the Sole Cause 1 lie Street Cur Company Nut in the I-ciim to lllanie. A sad fatality occurred near the fair grounds this morning. The cars were running on live minute schedule on Hillsboro street. There was an incessant crowd passing up aud down this thoroughfare, yet not an accident happened in all this crowd except in the case of an un known negro boy who met his death through his own carelessness. Street car No. !, with inotorman Howard Winchester and conductor J. II. McGinnie in command, left the fair grounds at about 10: 15 returning to the city. The inotorman rang his gong incessantly coining down the steep grade from the fair. He saw a negro man or boy walking on the track with his back to the car on the stretch at the foot of the hill. He continued to ring his gong thinking the man would got oil' the track but when it beciiin.' evident that he either didn't hear or paid n .1 attention to the warning, the motor- man applied his brakes 'imi did ail he could to stop and he a'ui 1st sue eeeded. for when the car struck the negro it was hardly moving, the track was wet and the car was hist sliding on the rails. The negro v us 1 thrown forward, the llush was torn j from his right elbo-.v, his chin struck j the cross tires and his left arm j was hurt slightly . Not a bone was broken in his bod v. The man breathed only about ten I minutes. Ilis bo ly was placed on tli 3 car, it was run on the sidetrack and the corouor summoned. Dr. li. I!. Ellis, the coronor. ar rived at 11 o ciock. Ito sclccleil the following jury: Put Johns, A A Howell, C R Too l. Win Williams. John B White and James Baker Dr. Eilis was not well enough hold the imiuest on the spit, so he had the body carried 0,1 the car to the court house. At the inquest Dr. McKee examined the body and said that the man must have been killed by the shock. No bones were broken, the skull was not fractured. The witnesses examined were the inotorman, conductor, .1. P. Hunch aud Bettie Wilcox. They a'.l testi fied that the inotorman did all ho could to warn the man and to stop the car when he saw that he paid no attention to the goug, Who the Mun W as. Several hours passed before any one was found who knew the negro. Of all the crowd who viewed the body in the car not one recognized him He was a stranger to the col ored of west Raleigh and a' so to those who smv the body up town. His pocket were examin ed but they threw no light 011 the matter. A little slip was found iu his vest pocket on which was writ ten witli '-uucil "Yuller is the name of that little girl." He also had a poem entitled "After the quarrel" clipped from some newspaper. He was a clean shaved negro with an enormous mouth and thick lips. His clothing was shabby, lie had on on a faded negligee, llanuel shirt with some red in it while his trousers were faded gray with large checks. Oue might guess his age anywhere from 18 to 21 and in bight he was about 0 feel 8 in. However these speculations were finally put at rest by William Plum- mer, for when he saw 'he body he recognize I it as Thomas Hawkins. Tom is from Ridgeway and was working in Ra'eigh. The following was the jury's ver dict . "That the said Thomas Hawkius died from a shock as result of an iu jury by being run over by car No. 0 of the Raleigh Electric Co. The jury find after sufficient evidence that the Electric Co.. is not at all to blame and that the said Thos. Haw kins came to his death by his own carelessness Veterans to Meet.

ISKST EVEK SEEN' II Eli E The ilhur l.xeell All Optra Cnmpank's Cver in KaleiAh- Susie Kir w in and the Wilbur p era Company opened a week's en gagcincnt at the Academy of Music last night to a packed house. The performance, without doubt, was the lust cver given in this city in the repertoire operatic sphere. Kilelgh is thoroughly aroused to the m.-rits of 1 his organization by last night's performance, and it was received with every indication of appro -ii t: iu by the vast assemblage . and v. hen the eurta 11 rose the singers f.n ed an audience that represented the wealth and fashion of the city. Susie Kirwin, as '.Serena,' the Pasha's daughter, was the mod dainty, bit of femininity that could be imagined. Her interpretation of the part was received with in irk ed f.ivor. She sings in a delicious tone, so pure and sweet it wins vicir l.e.irt and i: is safe to say that no star cver appeared in Raleigh who made so spontaneous a hit iu one single perfonuai.ee. Mer specialty in tli.' second act wi'h Mr. Harvey enti led "Cool Liu'" Mirl" was was clever indeed, and the s nig of "All Nations" at the close of the opera was artistically rendered. To sum it all up, Miss Kirwin is an artiste, and f'w bct'er have ever graced the Academy stage. .Miss Kirwin support was excellent. And Harvey, well, he practically owned Rileigh today. Mis work last evening was something uiihiie and original, i 1 0 i si the best eoui dian seen here iu years and he can count Ka'.eigh on h s string in the future. Ivicnre after encore greet ed his witticism . and nnisn a spe cialties. Mr. Ivl. vainer waan idea. S.i.d Pasha. He has au excellent vuV" and was favorably received. Messrs. Harvey, Ivlwunger, Ful ler, Fergu -.on Misses Uuxterand Hob crts and Mr. Muggv were ill that could be desired. The chorus work was accurate and the costumes gorgeous. Mr. Pell, the musical director, was responsible for a great share of the evening's enjoyment. The living pictures were without doubt a revelation to the audience, marvelous in their fidelity, most re fined and exceedingly artistic. The comrade scenes aroused the enthu siasm of the people to a great extent. The performance from begini. ng to close was one great big hit. Tonight Straus--, the waltz king, will have his inning in "The Queen's Lace Handkerchief. ' Miss Kirwin appearing as '"Irene. New specialties will be introduced. The livin.' oieturcs are I'ivcn inch even ing with conip'cte chance at tli close of the performance. The sale of scats, in the face of opposition by the circus, indicates a packed house. !,, Man Killed.
