If " --A prj&s s - WISITOR NUMBER 7032. RALEIGH, N. C, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1897. $4.00 PER -YEAR. THE I 1 1 I t i -" 1 1 r TICKET SCALPING. Aasoclatlotta of Merchants and Travelers Want to Abolish it. The Chicago Tribune says : The National Association of Merchants & Travelers shall urge upon Con gress prompt legislation in conform ity with the repeated recommonda tions of the Inter-state Commerce Commission, and to pass without delay what is known as the Anti Seal ping Bill. The Association is committed to the following proposition : The Inter-state Commerce law is at present of little or no value to mercantile inti rests; the commission being unable to prevent discrimina tion either between persons or lo calities. Recent decisions have deprived -the Act to regulate commerce, of al most everything it was supposed to to mean when passed. Discriminations against locality have grown to such an extent that in many cases tbey are a restraint to trade and should therefore be f abolished. Nearly all the conserva tive roads are anxious to do this, b;tt owing to the inherent weakness of railroad associations and the im potence of the commission, there is at present uo machinery to accom -plish the desired end. Ticket scalping is an irregular and frequently dishonest business, tolerated in no other country. Tf abolished, the regular passenger fares might be reduced. Many of the vexatious ticket restrictions might be removed and excursion rates for associations or other pur poses might be more easily granted and accompanied by less red tape, if the scalping offices were closed. It is not in accordance with the pro tection of public morals to tolerate a business which encourages break ing of contracts, misrepresentation and forgery. THE MORNING POST. r ttaie Auditor K. M. Tiirman to Have the Kditonthlp. The Press -Visitor notes the fol lowing from the Asheville Citizen : "Former State Auditor Iiobert M. Furman has accepted a proposition to assume the editorship of the new Raleigh morning paper, the Pest. Mr. Furman will go to the capital to begin his new duties about the first of December. His family will remain in Asheville, and he will still have bis residence here. He will re'ain his position as editor of the weekly Gazette, which he has held several months. "The directory of the Post has chosen wisely in selecting Mr. Fur man as editorial writer. Thebistoiy of North Carolina, industrially, edu cationally and politically, is an open book to him, anj his wide intimate knowledge of men and events in the material progress of the state gives a peculiar fitness for the editorial control of a democratic paper at the capital that perhaps no other man in North Carolina possesses. He is an able writer, and be will make of the Post a paper that will be read with Interest all over the state. The Post is to be congratulated. BICYCLE THIEF. A Dude from Henderson Appropriates a Wheel Yesterday a young white man, nicely dressed, rode up to Jacobs' pawn shop on a Crescent bicycle and olered to pawn the wheel for 110. Mr. Jacobs enquired of the chief of police, but no stolen bicycle had been reported to him. The bicycle was pawned. The fellow was rather handsome and well dressed. He spoke with the accent of an English man. He gave his name as Arthur Walters. Today an officer arrived from Hen derson looking for the gentleman. It seems that he borrowed the bicy cle from some one in the hotel at Henderson and promised to take only a short ride but h" never came back. The officer from Henderson made Inquiries about the fellow at the sta- ltlons on the way to Raleigh. This afternoon Chief Norwood was noti fied that the dude bad been arrested at Wake Forest r Dr. Smith Dead. 1 Dr.' J. Henry Smith, pastor of the First Presbyterian church here and on of the best known divines In the state, died at bis home on C'.urch street this morning. His death bas been expected for sometime though be bad. rallied somewhat from the critical state of few week ago. Greensboro Telegram. . WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. Mrs Watson Hill be Carried to Wake For est Again Tomorrow. The attempt to discover the bullet by means of the X rays was unsuc cessful. The plate was developed but the exposure was not of a suffi cient duration and so the photograph was not distinct enough to be of any service. The body is thick and of course a longer exposure is required than would otherwise be necessary. Tomorrow morning Mrs Watson will again be carried to Wake Forest and Prof Lanneau will take another impression with the X rays. Mr Riggsbee, a photographer from Bur lington, will be here to go out to Wake Forest with Dr Goodwin and his patient. This is dene so that they can tell on the spot whether the plate bas been successful and if not Prof Lanneau can keep on until a good plate is secured. It is very hard to tell just how long an expo sure ought to be. There appears to be little hope for Mrs Yfatson as it is generally thought that the spinal cord was severed and she will never walk again. However, her physician is not willing to give up without doing every thing he can to ascertain if there is any chance for her to recover. FAIR AND COLDER.

It was hoped that the first issue of the pa per would appear on Thanksgiving day, but the work of putting in position heavy and intricate machin ery which will turn out "The Morn ing Post'' has required so much time and careful supervision as to make it necessary to defer the pub lication of the first issueof the paper for a few days and probably till Dec. 1st. It is the determination of the management of the new paper that it shall be absolutely perfictin every respect, typographically and other wise, before it greets the many friends who are expectantly await ing it. When it appears it will be a model of typographic beauty and a perfect chronicler of all the news of the day. The outfit which will pro duce it is the most perfect made in the markets.

DEAL IN NORFOLK. The City Street Car Sv-toill Sold hir st.O0O,oul. A telegram was received this morning from Mr Robert Lancaster Williams, of the firm of John L Williiams A Sons, who on Saturday went to Baltimore, stating that the putcha.se of the Norfolk street rail way had been consummated by the payment of nearly $1,000,000 in cash says the Richmond Leader. The syndicate which purchased this valuable property is headed by Messrs John L Williams & .Sims, of this city, and Midderdorf, Oliver A Co , of Baltimore, who are also the principal owners of the Richmond Traction company's stock. These gentlemen have associated with them a number of "-jpitalisls in Richmond, Baltimore and else where. The same parties virtually control the Norfolk A Ocean View railway, the Ocean View hotel, and a consid erable quantity of contiguous land. It is not improbable that these prop erties iu the not distant future may be united under one management. The property purchased in Norfolk is a most valuabe one. It comprises twenty-two miles of road, the fran chise for operating which has fifty years to run. The property pur chased is in good condition now, but extensive improvements will be made, and it will be brought up to high standard of the Traction com pany's lines in Richmond.

Netliiim. hv Keenest, lellsnf a W on deit'til Adventure ill His Life. The revival at the Baptist Taber nacle, conducted by Rev. Thomas Ncchain. continues with increasing interest. Mr. Necdhain is a preach cr of unusual power and drives his gospel truths strait home. Heis not in the least sensational. Much interest was manifest in the meeting last night When Mr. N'ecdham was drawing his sermon to a close iast evening u said that during the day he told a member of the congregation a story and the gentleman requested him to tell it in his sermon. Mr. Necdh m saic' it was this: Many years lign a mere lad was placed on a vessel and the great ship set sail. But the captain took a dislike to the boy because of his religion and treated him badly. Finally he had the lad tied down and taloocd upon his arm the cross with the Savior on it. When the ship reached South America thecap ti'in had the lad placed on a rocky island and left, him there. He was soon captured by 11. c cannibals and carried into the interior. The sav ages surrounded him and prepared for a feast. The wiupen tore his gar ments from him and made ready to kill him but. when the sayages saw the cross upon his aria they were frightened and after consultation or dered that he put on his clothes and remain among them. For eleven months he dwelt among these canni bals until he succeeded in effecting an escape. "And that lad, added Mr. Need ham, "is the one who stands before you and if any man wants to see the cross upon my arm he can do so if he will call at my ro mi in the Yar borough House. The speaker then made a beautiful application of this remarkable inci dent. TODAY'S MARKETS. The Movements in New ork andl-iver-pool .Market; By private wire to J. .A. Duncan: OPEN- HIGH- LOW ING.
