Luetgert was brought from his cell .and walked in dozed, and fell stupid ly into a chair beside his counsel, liia face blued and white and his yes sunken, and lips drawn. The jurors walked in single lile and no hint of the result could be gathered from their faces. Luetgert faced the jury and the judge asked the ju rors to look upon the defendant and the defendant to look upon jurors, and asked if they had agreed. Fore man Hosmer replied, "We cannot agree." Luetgert swayed, sudden ly, and fell back into his seat. The court room buzzed, and the bailiff rapped for order. Concert at Peace Institute Last Night.

Leyte, one of the Phillpine Islands was almost de vastated by a cycloae. Many were killed. The. trades display today was more extensive than was antici pated, notwithstanding the fact that a great many of those who were ex "pected to take part, for reasons best known to themselves, declined to get up a display.

Editor Press-Visitor: Dear Sir: I did not know until today that your paper of yesterday had anything to say about the Tabernacle service on Sabbath night. The following statement of your reporter is what I refer to: "Pastor Si rums stated that Mr. Nichols said when be appeared be fore the board that be made the ap peal for the opening of the salcon at the request of the executive com mittee." I said just the reverse, viz.: "That Mr. Nicho's had written me a personal letter stating that the executive committee knew nothing of his appearing before the alder men, but that he went there at the solicitation of an alderman of the city." I announced this fact to my congregation, and said there that I was glad to know that ihe Christian men of the committee knew nothing about it. The point I made was that though they knew nothing of his appeal to the aldermen, yet as all men are re sponsible for the actsof their agents until they have repudiated them, that these Christian men would, in the public conscience, be judged un til they had for illy repudiated the act. I said lu.'thermore that the very fact that the influenoe of Chris tian men could be so used without a repudiation of the agent's con duct, was enough to raise a cry of sorrow in every thoughtful soul; Thanking you beforehand for your kindness in printing this correc tion, I am yours, A. M. Shims. Fablo Komanl. Aiden Benedict's "Fabio Romani" which will be presented at the Academy of Music Wednesday eve ning, October 22th, is a spectacular production of much merit, being an adaptation of Marie Correlli's novel, The Vendetta." The story of -the play Is sad, weird and interesting, with the dark passage of the sombre story are many enlivening scenes, that help to make the whole a pleasant enter tainment. The promised realism comes at the ead of the drama in the earthquake scene. The last act commences with a Mausoleum scene, which occupies the entire stage. At the climax of the emotion the whole tomb sinks out of sight and reveals dwellings falling in ruins, the earth rocking and rent with fury, and fiery fissures, while Mt. Vesuvius, in the back ground, belches forth huge columns of fire and smoke and pours red streams of lava on the City of Naples at its feet. A Handsome Portrait of Dr. Durham. A handsome portrait of the late Dr. Columbus Durham adorns a niche In the First Baptist church, says the Durham Sun. It attracts the attention of every stranger that sees it. It is indeed a splendid portrait, and fittingly brings to the memory of all who loved him the sacrificing zeal and devotion of this great man. Dr. Durham was form erly pastor of this church, and his memory is honored and revered, not only by Baptists, but other denom inations as well. The State la Liable. The supreme court says the state is liable for the costs in Pamlico oyster cases- Of these costs there are several thousand dollars due the sheriff and clerk. Auditor Ayer does not see how be can issue a warrant or the amount, and so will recommend to the claimnants that they appeal to the legislature for rel'ef. $9,300 BLAZE TODAY. The Harp Factory Building Burned. WAS NO INSURANCE. One of the Largest Brick Buildings In the City in Ashes. T B Vancv, T A iioh ci'l i iid c I crrall the Prin cipal Losers. A disastrous conflagration, one of the worst in many days, visited Ral eigh tbis morning about 5 o'clock. The well-known Harp building on East Morgan street, near Blount, was entirely destroyed and nothing but the tall black brick walls re main to mark one of Raleigh's oldest landmarks. The loss approximates 19,300. There was no insurance. The fire originated in the wooden sheds in the rear of the building. Seasoned timber and wood work were stored back in the sheds and the flames made rapid headway. Be fore the Sre companies could reach the scene, the flames spread to the large four story brick building. The building which has been in use for more than a generation as a buggy and wagon factory, was a veritable tiuder box. The accumulation of waste and shavings and the free distribution of oil on the floors for all these years made it almost impossible to check the flames. The building burned fiercely for more than an hour. The flames shot from the roof and out of the brick walls, where many windows once were, presenting an altogether pic turesque sight, such ;as is seldom seen. Many expressions of sym pathy were heard for the owners, who were so unfortunate as not to have taken out insurance. The building was the property of Mr. T. B. Yancey. H was the larg est brick building in the city, being four stories in height. It was built by Mr. N. S Harp and has been used for the manufacture and storage of vehxles. Mr. Yancey valued the building at $u,0J0, though the struc ture could not ba erected for twice that amount. Mr. Yancey also lost two buggies, valuable pipers and other property. Mr. T, A. Bowen, who rented pirt of the building, sustained a loss of $1,200. He recently put in a 1500 outfit and stock. In addition to his machinery he lost eight buggies, three finished wagons and several unfinished. Mr. Finn Bowen lost a stock of Victor bicycles and other property to the extent of $300. Mr. Charles Ferrall had a stock of hardware stored in the building, which at the lo vest figure was worth $1,000. Mrs. Fasnach had $000 worth of furniture stored in the building. Mrs. Fasnach loses the insurance on this property as she failed to secure a permit from the insurance com pany when she moved it. A Mrs. Pool had furniture valued at $250 stored in the building. The losses foot up $9,300. The fire com panies were powerless to save any of the property. One bicycle was taken out. CONFEDERATE VETS. The Annual Meeting Last Night--F.lcctlon of Officers. The North Carolina Confederate Veterans in annualsession last night elected Col. Francis M. Parner, of Littleton, president; George T. Leach, of Pittsboro, vice-president, and C. B. Denson, of Raleigh, secre retary. Speeches were made by R. H Battle, J C Birdsong, Q E Leach and Rev James Battle Avirett. A C Avery, W H Day, C B Denson and James C MacRae were appointed to memorialize the Legislature to mike more liberal provision for the Sol diers' Home here, which now gets only $3,500 annually and has already exhausted this year's appropriation. It gets far less than the home in any other State, and substantial brick cottages are needed for not less than 200. There are now 97, and twelve die annually. A resolution of thanks to Charles Broadway Rouss was adopted by a rising vote. Border Exposition of the Carollnas -Max-ton. October 20th to 20th, 1807.

RALEIGH, N. C, THURSDAY EVENING OCTOBER THE PETRIFIED WOMAN On Mew on a Platform Near North I n tranoe of Floral Hall Facing Race Track. Everybody is talking about this wonderful specimen. It is the body of a beautiful woman turned to stone, found in a California moun tain. The great wonder comes en dorsed by thousands of physicians, scientists and geologists; also chem ical and microscopical examinations which prove beyond a doubt that it is a genuine case of petrification. The leading citizens of our city agree that no more wonderful or meritori ous exhibit ever visited Raleigh. Go and see the specimen and you will join in the belief of all preceding you. It is a scientific and educa tional exhibit in charge of ladies who take special pains to thorough ly explain the great wonder. AH who visit the fair should see this in teresting exhibit. The small ad mission fee of 10 cents places it within reach of all. A Big Suit. The Salisbury Sun says. "Mr. T. D. Roseman and bis attorneys re turned last night from S'atesvill where they bad been to attend court now in session in that plaoe. IJe understood that the case was to come up for trial yesterday, consequently he was there prepared for trial. The readers of the World will remember this case for it has been in court for several years and as yet uover de cided. This cas; involves $3,000 worth of whiskey seized by one of the government ollbers some time ago. Mr. Roseman will be repie sen ted by Caot. Charles Price and Hon. Lee S. Overman of this city. The case will come up for final trial tomorrow morning and the parties will leave in the morningto be pres ent." The Attraction Tonight at the Metropoli tan Opera House. The excellent company of H.

It is rarely that Raleigh has an oppor tunity to see such an excel lent t roups as the Wood ward-Warren company, and the crowded houses that they have every night attest the fact that it is the best attraction for the price ""hich ever visited RUeigh, The Wilbur Opera Company. "Erminie" was the opera that Miss Susie Kirwin and the Wilbur OperaCompany presented to a top- heavy bouse at the Academy of Music last night. Miss Kirwin, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Fuller, Mr. E lwanger ond the others of the cast were as delight ful as ever. Mr. Harvey gets his ovation ev ery evening as a fun maker. He is a jolly little fellow and has made many personal friends here. His remarks to ihe "gallery gods," who keep their hats on during the per formance were timely Some of the ladies who are weighted down with "tower" hats might take a hint. Tonight "Olivette" will be the opera. Tomorrow night will be grand opera evening, when "Car men" will be sung. That funniest of operas, "Said Pasha," will be given Saturday eveniugat matinee, thera having been so many requests for it. The Cuban Girl.

In the United States Court at Baltimore he has be gun two repleviu suits to obtain a portion of the pooled stock.

After a formal demand has been in ide on Louis McLine, chairman of the pool ing committee, for the surrender of the certificates and the demand had b en refused, (he suits were brought It is elaiiiud by Mr. Uyaii that it was shown at the recent annual meeting of the Seaboard and Roanoke stock holders Portsmouth, 'a.. that the pooling agreement hud been violated and cast aside by the pirties to it, and that therefore it cannot now be binding The proceedings at the stock holders' meeting, it is alleged, showed that some of the pooled stock had been sold with the assis tance, and knowledge of the pooling committee, and ih-it some oflhe sub scribers to the polling agreement had vested the voting power in Iheir share in proxies other than those named in the agreement. Kven if the agreement had been valid, it is claimed, this action of Ihe subseri bers to the po il has broken it. Un der the agreement the pooled stock was tied up for five year?, from Oe tobcr 2, KS'.Mi.
