Everything has passed off without a hitch due solely to the untiring efforts of the Fair officials, President Battle andSecre tary Nicholsand their energetic and competent assistants. Of course, the unfavorable weather prevented many from attending, yet thousands have flocked to the city. The weather seriously intcrferred with tbe races, but the Fair was a success nevertheless. Attractions Tonight. This evening the Wilbur Opera Company will present another opera in the Academy of Music and the Woodward-Warren Company will entertain another big crowd at the Metropolitan . Tbe marshals' ball which will be gin at 11 o'clock will be the most brilliant social event of the week. Many of Carolina's fairest belles and the flower of the state's gallantry are here to participate. TO BEGIN NEXT WEEK. 500 Hands to bo Put to Work on the Mocksvillc and MooreM ille. The Salisbury Sun says: J K Culbertson, of Unity town ship, was in the city today and tells us that the right of way for the Mocksville- Mooresville railroad has all been paid for and that 500 hands will be put to work grading the road next week. The road will no doubt be pushed rapidly to completion. The Southern has spent at least $10,000 for right of way through this county. Mr. Culbertson says Wood leaf is rich on account of it. The oompany purchased the en tire tract of land of Mr. J. H. L. Rice, one of Rowan's commissioners. Tbe property embraces several hundred acres. It is not known what the Southern intends doing with this land. It is probable that a depot will be located upon it. Some advance the idea that the company will improve tbe property and sell it off at a good price and thus secure enough from it to pay for tbe right of way through the county, others say tbe Southern will locale some paying industry on the land, it be ing" 2 bout two miles from the shoals on South river. Tbe road will be a valuable acqui sition to the county. STEWAHTS HEARD FK0M Will Sue Some State Officials for Malfeas ance in office. It is rumored that Stewart Bros., the late State printers, will bring suit against the State Auditor and Secretary of State, (and perhaps the State treasurer may bo included), alleging malfeasance in office. It is known that these officers have given the late State printersagreat deal of unnecessary annoyance besides withholding from them quite an amount of the public printing to their injury. If "Moses" had made up his mind to "lire against fire" and give these gentlemen a dose of their own medicine, he will certaiuly make it lively. Winston Republi- A Souvenir of tppoiuattsj. The Coucord Standard says a re porter saw at Ml. Pleasant, Tuesday a fox born, which has a history. It is now the property of Berry Eudy. This horn came down to Berry from his father, Sergt.

Eudy took from the last steer killed one of his horns. During the en campments on their weary return home after the surrender, Sergt. Eudy passed the time in making this historical etching around the horn: "Sergt. W M Eudy, Co. H, 57th N C, April 0, 1865 from the last beef. The young man, who now has it, re fused a very fabulous price for it. It is something to be preserved from a gallant, brave soldier, in war, and a hard-working, industrious man, in peace.) Pulled Out. Maj Bean returned iast night from the capital city, says the Salis bury World, but -he tells us that he did not participate in the delibcra -Hons of the Republican League. When he arrived there he found everything cut and dried, and when he endeavored to get fair play he was instantly squelched. He had other business in Raleigh and at tended to it, industriously absenting himself from the meeting.

S LGGESTE D 15 Y SO UTH EKN Southern "egotiatlng for the Columbia and Maryland llcctrtc Kuilay Co., Which Will (Jive It a Line of Its Own Into flaltimore. The Baltimore News of yesterday says: There is a fair prospect of the dif ferences between the Seaboard Air Line system and the Southern rail way company being amicably ad justed, according to private informa tion from Washington and Norfolk, Vice-President andGeneral Manager St. John of the Seaboard Air Line and Vice-President Finley of the Southern railway company have been empowered by their companies to arrange a settlement of tho differ ences and end tbe rate war which has been inaugurated by the Sea board. Offer of the Southern. The proposal for a conference emanated from the Southern railway company and was preceded by a disavowal on the part of that com pany of the allegations that it has been and is the only obstacle to the Seaboard's scouring through pas senger facilities overlhe Pennsylva nia between (Juantico, Va., and New York. It is reported that Vice-President Finley, of the Southern, sent a letter to Prcsideut Thomson, of the Penn- i sylvania, saying that his company had no objection to the Pennsylvania according the Seaboard the same privilege of through sleeping car service as are enjoyed by the South ern, and left the Pennsylvania free to make such arrangements with the Seaboard as it saw lit. President Tromsou thereupon no tilied the Seaboard management that the Pennsylvania was willingto haul the Seaboard's Atlanta sleeper from Quantieo to New Pork provided the latter company would guarantee a certain number of passengers or agree to make good any loss that might result from such service. New Point Kuiscd. Ills said that the Seaboard rejected the proposition and made a new de mand, the nature of which is not known, though said to be the run ning of through sleepers to New Or leans over the railroads south of At lanta in which the Southern has an interest. Messrs St. John and Fin ley, who have beeu in conference for several days, have carefully canvassed the situation, and it is said there is a prospect that they will reach an agreement, as both gentlemen appear to be willing to make concessions for the purose cf avoiding a disastrous rate war. Other influences are also at work, including some of the largest se curity holders of the lines involved who are apprehensive that if har mony is not restored their securi ties will suffer in value. The gen eral desire seems to be for a settle ment of the differences on a basis that will insure permanent peace. A Deal Is Kcallv on. There is no longer any doubt that negotiations are in progress between representatives of the Southern rail way company anil of the Columbia and Maryland Electric railway com pany looking to the acquisition of the latter property by the Southern. Thenegotiations arc beingconducted in New York, and for obvious rea sons the gentlemen arranging the details arc keeping the matter as quiet as possible. Local interests in the Columbia and Maryland profess to be' ignorant tnat a deal is on. The negotiations have been in progress for several days and have reached such a stage as to lead to the belief in some quar ters that the deal will be consum mated. The secrecy that surrounds thedickering is due probably to ap prehension that should the fact be admitted, the Pennsylvania might defeat the plans of the Southern for if! is well known that the Pennsyl vania does not care to lose the South ern business brought to it by the Southern railway company, which would be the case should the South ern secure a lineof its own into Lial tiniore. It might lead to an alliance with the Baltimore and Ohio, an event which the Pennsylvania would not relish. The entrance of the Southern into Baltimore would be a good thing for local shippers, as it would give this rail line controlled by one system to the most thickly populated section of the south . The company would also spend vastsums of money develop ing suitable terminals here, includ ing elevators, docks, etc. FOUND HIS WIFE. A Man Comes from cineinnutti Here and Arrests the Abductor.
