"Weather Report.
For Raleigh Fak weather, warmer.
A Distressing Case.
The announcement that Mr Pierre
Cox, son of Hon W R Coi.Jwas found
n an insensible condition in an area
way in the city of New York last
Monday afternoon cast a deep gloom
over a large circle of relatives and
friends in this city. It is impossible
at this time, to tell with any degree
of certainty the particulars of the
sad event, as Mr Cox has since been
in an unconscious condition. It seems
that on the evening noted, he had
been to a church festival, and, on his
return to his lodgings had met with
the serious mishap which it is feared
will terminate his life. The charac
ter of the bruises on his person,main-
ly on the head, preclude the idea of
an accident, and the young man has
probably been the victim of a most
brutal attack at the hands of ruffians
It is indeed a most crushing blow
to his afflicted father, whose hopes
had been centered in his only son of
mature age.
The writer has known the young
man from childhood and can bear
testimony to his amiable and chival
ric character. He was a youth of
i are promise and developed into ear
ly manhood with all those noble
traits so well calculated to adorn so
ciety.
Should the worse come, may God
in his infinite mercy, temper the blow
to the afflicted parent, relatives and
friends.
A Pleasant Occasion.
A leading event of yesteiday was a
pic nic given by the society of King's
Daughters, of this city, complimen
tary to Mrs Mercer, of Leeds, Eng
land, who will leave tomorrow for
New York, from whence she will take
passage, in the Steamer "City of
Rome" which leaves next Saturday
for Liverpool. Mrs Mercer has been
staying with her sister, Mrs J H Gill,
for the past seven months, and her
departure will be much regretted by
a large circle of warm friends she has
made here.
Yesterday morning Mr Gill's two
horse team, with an additional con
veyance,might have been seen wend
ing their way along the streets with
a party of lively young ladies, and a
few young married ones (but no old
maids) bent on a lively time, as could
be readily seen from the number of
baskets, ice cream freezers, and other
things that add to the comfort of the
inner man.
The route taken was along Hills
boro street, thence through Oberlin
to Dr Lewis' dairy farm where a halt
was made. The party then com
menced their enjoyment in various
ways, such as rambling in the woods
and fishing in Beaver Dam. Two of
the party, a little more zealous than
the others.got a pretty good wetting.
Dinner being in order the crowd par
took heartily of the good things of
life which had been brought in abun
dance, and which had been prepared
by the ladies of our beautiful city,
who know so well how to prepare
such repasts. After dinner, came
more rambling and other pastimes,
after which the party turned their
faces reluctantly homeward where
they ariived about 8 o'clock. It was
indeed a day of rare pleasure and will
be long remembered by all who par
ticipated. It is sincerely hoped that
Mrs Mercer will have a most pleasant
voyage home, and the Visitor, joins
with her many friends in the desire
that she will, at a future day, again
visit our city.

Messrs Allen & Cram A Pro
gressive Firm.
During the year 1877, the building,
on the corner of Davie and McDowell
streets, known as the "Adams foun
dry" was leased by G M Allen and
William Cram, and the firm of Allen
& Cram started up. From this smal
beginning the business of the firm
rapidly increased, and that to such
proportions they were badly cramped
for room, and the question of larg
er buildings had to be settled, but
the shops covered all the available
ground, and they could not spread
out in their present quarters, so
the large and commodious buildings,
corner of Hargett and West streets,
were rented and occupied and the firm
began to extend their business until
now the handiwork of their shops are
sought for throughout this State and
the adjoining States, and they manu
facture everything in their line from
a screw bolt to a steam engine. With
only two or three hands in 1877, to
day they are working about thirty
skilled mechanics, and running full
time. In walking through their shops
we were pleased to note the Liusy hum
of machinery on every hand, and the
ease and freedom of each employee at
tending to their respective machines
The manufacture of stationary en
gines is one of their specialties, and
the reputation built up is second to
none. During the past few days two
engines, one thirty and the other
thirty five horse power, have been
shipped from the shops, and they
have orders booked for several more.
As we walked through the office we
stopped for a few moments talk with
Mike Allen,' who served with honor
through the late war, and whom
everybody regarded as a brave and
gallant soldier. We asked him what
the outlook was for the present year,
and with one of his Jgenial smiles re
plied: "the prospects are better and
brighter than any year in the history
of the firm, and if work continued to
come in as it began they would soon
have to increase their capacity. How
were your collections the past year
Well you know last year was failure
almost to the farmers, but we have
not brought over more than 10 per
cent more accounts than usual. The
whistle reminded us that it was din
nertime so we bid our friends good
day. A brief sketch of theBe gen
tleinen will not be out of place
G M Allen, (Mike, as he is known) is
out 05 yean of age, and has been
handling 'machinery for the past 25
years; he looks after the financial in
terests of the firm Mr Cram is a Ca
nadian by birth, about 44 years of
age and nearly all his life has been
spent among machinery, and is re
cognized as one of the best practical
machinists in the south. The firm,
with their puph and energy, has built
up an extensive and lucrative busi
ness and well deserve all the patron
age they have received in the past,
and we hope as the years may roll
round their business may increase and
abundant success crown all their un
dertakings.

Au Apology.
We will again have to ask for par
don from our numerous customers
for failure to deliver their purchases
for the last day or two, as promptly
as we would like, but the business
done, has just been a'little in excess
of our facilities for delivering parcels.
Still we know no one will feel harsh
ly towards us, if they only knew how
hard we tried to be prompt.
Very respectfully,
W H & R S Tucker & Co.
Oh! They are Braggers.
Who are braggers? Why those sales
men at Swindell's, was the answer,
Well said the party addressed they
may be bragging, but if you will
hangaiound there one day you will
see more customers in there during
the day than you will see in all the
other stores put together. I tell you
sir Swindell is doing the business of
the town this season; which we don't
care one way or the other, about
these conversations, yet they are the
meaning of something, they are f re
quent, and they express forcibly
what the masses think of us. We
sell clothing cheaper than any other
merchant and we sell more clothing
than any other merchant. We sell
ladies' dress goods cheaper than any
other merchant and we sell more
dress goods than any other merchant
in Raleigh, because we sell it cheaper.
We sell more shoes than any two
