Solicitor Argo, and that the solicitor

suit, and if it could be recovered, he

Centennial graded school, but were
able to see only two or three rooms
and the work done in them. They
will complete their work aud make
their report to a full committee the
last Wednesday in April. The com
mittee to day say as far as they went
everything was in admirablo condi
tion and the work was done thorough
and well.
No Site Yet.
The locating committee of t eBap
tist Female College have made no
choice BO far cf a site. Yesterday
wa8 con8Uined in visiting different
places that had be n suggested
anions them the following: Hie
Devereux property, northwest of the
city; the Mordecai property, near the
northern terminus of Blount and
Halifax streets; the Briggs place,
northeast of the city; the Wiley place,
on East Jones street; the Sea well
grove, in the eastern part of the city;
the lots on East Edenton street, occu
pied by the Pullen and Adams man
sions, and the londs offered by Dr.F
T Fuller and W G Upchurch, south
of the city. Some of this property is
not in legal condition for sale and the
committee decided to call a meeting
of the Trustees to take place on the
22nd inst for further consideration
New Enterprise.
Yesterday while strolling through
town for locals, we dropped in a new
building we had not seen before, al
joining the establishment of Messrs.
Ellington, Royster & Co., and found
that a. new foundry and machine
shops had been .jstablished, and was
all ready for operation Two enter
prising energetic young men, Messrs
Charles E. Wood and Charles B
Park, (Wood A Park). Both young
men are or many years experience,
Mr Wood havinj; worked in ten or
twelve op the best shops in this coun
try. Mr. Park has worked in the
foundry of Messrs. Allen & Cram for
a number of years They are both
well qualified in all respects for the
business they have undertaKen. They
are now ready to do all classes of work
in their line; over hauling and re
pairing engines, from a stationary
engine as well as a locomotive. Their
shop is well supplied with the most
imoroved. machinery. Their fine new
plaining machine especially attract
ed our attention. It is the most con
venient and smoothest running ma
chine we have ever seen; also their
Improved lathe. It will receive a
shaft thirty inches in diameter and
twenty-two and a half feet long. The
lathe also contains a three tool shaft
ing rest enabling the operator to run
three cuts over the shaft at one time,
the only one in the city which will
complete the work by rurming over
onetime. They are well supplied
with machinery of the best make for
the prompt execution of all wot ken-
trusted to them. They are both
voung, deserving oi patronage ana
success, and we believe they will
have it. It is a source of much pleas
ure to thus rectfrd, such an enterprise
in our citv. and hope it may be but
the forerunner of many such indus
tries. The VISITOR heartily wishes
I the firm the most complete success.

OUR GALLANT AND MANLY POLICE.
Faithful Guardians Brief
Sketches of. Who They Are.
There are plenty of people ready to
make complaints against a police
man, and it Is, not often that they are
credited with the praise they deserve.
I never see one in our end of the
town." is a common remark. They
are not remembered even as often as
they should be in the public prayers
from the pule it.
Raleigh has a force of fourteen
men. t or size, strong, manly lor in,
steady, upright,honorable gentlemen,
e do not believe they are excelled
by any equal number in this country.
The majority of them are members of
our churches.
We de&ire to offer our tribute to
this honorable corps by giving a
sketch of each one in tbe order of
their rank and term of service. Tbe
first is
CHIEF CHAS D. HEARTT,
who vas elected in May 1880 under
the administration of the late Mayor,
Basil U Manly. lie is forty one
years of age, weighs two hundred
and fifteen pounds and is five feet
ten inches high. On the second
Monday in next month he will have
bi en in office ten years, is married,
and we suggest a Tin Reception as
appropriate for his first decade. Dur
ing this long term of service he has
never had a charge made against him
in any public jor official way. "Char
lie Heirtt" has a generous nature,
kind, obliging and always at his post
When in Canada on a certain official
duty, his name got into the press dis
patches as the "handsome Chief of
Police from Raleigh." Few men are
better posted about crimes and crimi-
nals-tban is out gallant Chief. The
friend of all, he is deservedly popular
with every administration.
SERGEANT C. H. LEWELLYN.
In June 1881, under Mayor Manly,
"Harry" Lewellyn was elected as one
of our city Police. He had been serv
ing as caterer at the Yarborough.and
as such had made a good name. But
the nine years' service as a police
man.has proven that his special qual
ifications are on this line. Sergeant
Lewellyn is thirty six years of age,
weighs one hundred and eighty five
pounds, is five feet nine inches high.
He was promoted from patrolman to
Sergeant for faithful and efficient ser
vice. His special forte I: detective
work, and if he was in New York
City his fame would rank with that
of Inspector Byrnes, as the man that
"just some how knows who it was
and where he is," when a mystery in
crime is on hand. Courteous, intelli
gent, cool and brave, he is a great
favorite with all in need of the ser
vice of a policeman. Ever watchful
and true as steel he has never been
opposed by any administration.
SERGEANT JOHN D THOMPSON.
When John Thompson left his
blacksmith shop in May 1884 to take
a place on the police force, a number
of persons with horses, regretted it
verv much. He was elected when
ex-Mayor W H Dodd came into office,
and has been re elected without op
position ever since. He is sixty years
old, weighs one huadred and eighty
pounds and is five feet eleven and
a half inches high. Although
too old for militia duty now
he was in his prime as a
Confederate Soldier and served four
vears in the late war. "If John
Thompson hits you with his billy
you'll think a mule kicked you," is a
common saying. He is still active
and .efficient, although sixty years
old, and is as faithful as a clock
J.VT. BEASLEY.
"Jack" Beasley, as he is familiarly
known is the biggest of them all. He
commenced service as a policeman in
May 1875, under Mayor Separk, de-
peased. He weighs two hundred and
I - ' m
sixty pounds, is tnmy nine years oi
1 ase. six feet two inches high. Is a
. 7 "
I giant in strength as well as size. Has,
' been longer )n service than any of the
rest and has always neen a great
favorite. "Jack"' looks fierce when
he is a mind to, but is as gentle as a
child. But it won't do to crowd him.
and whin he puts his hand on a man
and siys ''come with me," he might
as well resist.the'old "Chockyot" en
gine of the R & G R R. He has been
on the police force ot Raleigh so long
that he knows every ncok and cor
ner of our city aud the thief that
hides from him must get out of his
territory. Noble hearted, true and
brave, he too, has always been re
elected without opposition.
MART. THOMPSON
is the next oldest in service, having
been elected in November 1877. He
is forty thre9 years old, weighs'one
hundred and sixty pounds, is five feet
ten iuches high. Was elected under
Mayor Manly. Like Sergeant Lew
ellyn, he is special!ygood in detective
work, aud should 1 e specially en
gaged, in our judgment in that line.
He has worked up a number of crook
ed cases aDd trapped many an unsus
pecting offender. Brave, daring and
true as cool as a cucumber but al
ways on the alert. Is a fine cornetist,
among other things, and a favorite
with the band.boys, as well as the

Bv-.-.-..;.
vice as a poticeman has been recog-1
nized wnn every isoara oi Aiuermen,
and often has he been commended
for special efficiency.
We stop tor the present, but pro
pose to finish the list, and in doing so
hope our readers will join with us in
gratefully remembering these gentle
men who, through rain and sunshine,
heat and cold are the faithful guar-
diaus of our lives, liberty and prop
erty.
