The I re seen, southwest of the city last night, was the woods on fire around Catawba Springs, about two miles west of Col L D Stephenson's. The wind was blowing a gale and fire spreading and doing much damage. It is reported that many of the fish in the water works pond are be ing found dead.

And now the Ralkigh Evening VlSlTOR,the oldest of its evening brethren, comes to see us all diked out in a new dress. We bid it God speed. Twin City Daily. Superior Court. Court met this morning at usual hour, Judge MacRae presiding. Case of State vs Lizzie Horton; per jury; verdict guilty; judgment sus pended on account of extreme youth of the woman's children; was dis charged. The regular jury (or the first week was discharged. State ys J J Boyle. The trial of this case was resumed. The follow ing additional witnesses were intro duced by the State and examined: Mrs Robert H Bradley, Mrs Wesley Whitaker, Isaac Hodges and M B Barbee. The evidence was then closed. The Solicitor, Col Argo, made an argu-. inoiit for the State outlining the points to be made in conclusion, anr1 was followed by Col Fuller for the defense. He was followed by Mr Bat tle who will be followed by Mr Snow. Col Argo will close for the State. The 'Visitor takes occasion to give its hearty concurrence to the remarks mad by Juuge' MaoRae prohibiting the attendance in court, of boys, dur ing the remainder of this trial. This decision entitles the Judge to the thanks of every parent in our cttj', and they are hereby tendered ' by .he Visitor on its own behalf,and on behalf of our citizens generally. It fa a decision in the interest of mo rality, And entitles Judge MacRae to A cianco at The week. The world moves through darkness and light, through evil and good, at times steadily, evenly, without much noise or excitement,while again great upheavals take place, nations are stirred from centre to circumference, and great epochs mark the world's changes. The week hat' been rather quiet at home and abroad, until near the close one of the most fearful catastrophes which has ever visited our fair land burst suddenly upon us, and hundreds of lives have been lost, over a thousand homes being seri ously injured, towns swept away.and at this writing so much property de stroyed that the figures cannot be reached. The terrible wind storm which swept through the southeast ern portion of the country carrying all before it, on Thursday night and Friday morning will be recalled in history as one of the most fearful events of modern times. The Johns town disaster shocked the whole land but this cyclone covered so much a larger strip of country, levrled to the dust more homes, that it now look s as if it will far exceed it in the : erri ble severity. The beautiful city of Louisvil e, Kentucky, sits in desola tion. Twenty five hundred of her houses are in ruins.One hundred of her people are reported as being killed, who were in a laige public building. Seventy five children in another found their untimely end. Whole streets are left without a house stand ing, and men and women are crazed with grief. The Union Depot, and large business buildings yielded to the terrible wind and fell in. The fearfui event was not without warn ing. But no one seems to have heed ed the signals and when the cyclone struck, men and women were attend ing their ordinary avocations and hundreds suddenly faced death and eternity without a moment's thought. Oh! me, there are many danger sig nals unheeded by the multitudes to day Sympathy and aid will not be wanted in this sad hour. But these while doing much cannot bring back to life the dead ones, nor entirely bind up the broken hearts of the liv ing. If we turn our eyes abroad we find Germany still uneasy over the rela tionship of the Emperor to Prince Bismarck. The late Chancellor is re ceiving many expressions of the peo ple's confidence and love. The labor conference has closed, but what prac tical good will come of it remains to be peen. The action of the Russian authori ties in arresting two persons who informed the world of the barbarities of the officials in their treatment of political prisoners, and the probable sentence-death, of these two arrested, show again the despotic tyranny with which the people of that great Empire are ruled. It cannot so remain long. Revolution will take place, or the feeling of the outside world so intense that a great change must surely occur; and may the day hasten. England is still troubled with Ireland, and the Parliament has witnessed during the week heated debates over that much vexed question. In the U 8 Senate another educa tional hill is presented. Its merits will be considered when the bill is under discussion. Observsr. DIED. Two miles west of this city, yester day morning, of pneumonia, Mrs Hat- tie Simons, wife of Haywood Simons and daughter of James Bashford,' aged 34 years. She leaves three child ren. The funeral took place at 11 o'clock this morning, Rev W J W Crowder, officiating. Warden Keaty and Deputy Sheriff McGonigal, of Ludlow street jail, N Y, have been arrested on indictment True to the Letter. The Durham Sun says: The pros perity of a town is not gauged by the wealth of its inhabitants but by the uniformity with which they pull to gether when any important under taking is to be accomplished. A man witb a thousand dollars at .his com mand and a love for his town in his heart can do more for the upbuilding of it than the millionaire who locks up his capital and snaps his fingers at home progress Death of Mr Willie W Forest. The death of this estimable yonner gentleman took place on Wednesday morning, 27th, at the residence of his father, in Houses Creek Township, of typhoid fever after an illness of more than a week. Willie was twenty years of age, and though in life he had been "one of the boys," was possessed of many noble and gentlemanly qualities, which were fully appreciated by his hosts of friends and all in whom he came in contact. The body was interred in the fami ly burial ground at Mr Joe Hayes' on Thursday, 27th. R P. Journalistic. The Charlotte News appears in a new dress and is as bright as a bride, we wish it the utmost success. The Roanoke News became of legal age last Thursday, having attained its 21st, year. It is one of the most progressive weeklies in the State. 'The Kernersville News makes its reappearance and is much improved in all respects. It is published by a stock company of which Mr J M Gra ham is manager. It is a model paper. The Wilmington Star has been pub lished twenty two years and a half, and grows better w'th age. It is be yond doubt one of the most progres sive dailies in the South. Long may it live and prosper.

Additional particulars of the great tornado of Thursday night last which proved so disastrous to Louisville, contine to come in. An estimate is, that twenty five hundred houses were destroyed, with five hundred persons killed and thousands injured. A four story building was prostrated, in which one hundred men, women and children were buried while taking dancing lessons. Other points in the country suffered much. The town of Bowling Green, in Kentucky was entirely destroyed. It had a popula tion of between five and eight thous and inhabitants, and the loss of life is conjectured to be correspondingly large. The ill starred town was di rectly in the path of the tornado as traced on the map, .and the report beyond doubt is tiue. Relief measures are being taken in different sections. In many respects, it is the most fearful ' calamity of the kind that has overtaken place in this Report of the Grand Jury-Conditions of the County Prison ers. The Grand Jury yesterday submit ted a report relative to the condition of the work house and jail of Wake county. White the condition of the prisoners is generally good a more varied bill of fare is recommended. The allowance was ample enough. They reported the water closets in jail as out of fix and recommended that they be replaced by new ones. The county poorhouse was reported in good condition, and the inmates well cared for. Referring to Camp Russell, now occupied by county convicts, the re port says: "The quarters in which the convicts are confined, we found to be very badly adapted to their present use, being dark, close, badly ventilated, and too small and insecure. We found about forty colored prisoners and eight white in the quarters. The colored prisoners are confined in a room some fourteen feet wide by forty feet long. The whites occupy a room in the same building, and adjoining the blacks, from whom they are separated by a plank partition about eight or nine feet high, and which does not extend to the ceiling. To all practical pur pose, they might be said to be in the same room. The sanitary arrangements are ex ceedingly bad. There is a large tub in each room in the end furthest from the entrance. These tubs are emptied several times a day, and when emp tied they must be carried through the entire length of the quarters. We found several cases of sickness. all of them, except one, who had stuck a pick in his leg and was rapid ly recovering, suffering from "la grippe." None of them are danger ously ill. The fare issued to the convicts was found to be well prepared and in our opinion is ample. We would recommend that the board of county commissioners be in structed to obtain and prepare quar ters, and that the prison be loca ted near the sewerage mains from the city so they may be connected therewith." Treasurer Heminsway, of Mississip pi, got away with $334,512.19. The authorities would like to get up with him. SPECIAL. NOTICES.

The scene is beyond description. Great trees of high prices are wrenched off at the roots and hurled to great dis tances. High priced houses are de molished in a twinkling without a moment's warning. The damage to the high priced portion of the city is terrible. No deaths are reported yet. This wholesale destroyer of high prices entered the city from the north utterly wiping out the high prices in its path. The groans of the high priced fellows Jthat.can't stand the pressure are begiuuing to be heard on every hand.;; Nothing to compare with it has ever visited Raleigh. There is no abatement of the force and violence of this crusher.
