The proprietors of the Visitor are always anxious and willing to ac commodate their patrons as far as it cm be done without detriment to the interests of the paper, or injustice to our friends. Our space is limited, and in order to make the columns at tractive, the matter should be as va ried as possible. The numerous nom inations for official preference, thus early in the campaign, will prove too heavy on our columns for gratuitous insertion, and, hence, we feel under the necessity of adopting a scale of rates for the insertion of such cards, or communications. Hereafter a charge of twenty-five cents an inch (eight lines) or less, will be made for such insertions. RALEIGH, JULY 5, 1890. INDEPENDENCE DAY. Raleigh Celebrates the Birth Day of the Republic iu (jrand Style. Yesterday will pass into history as one of the most noted occasions that has ever taken place in the Capital of the Old North State. The day was ushered in by a general beating of drums, blowing of horns and other demonstrations. Crowds soon began to throng the principal thoroughfares and by 10 o'clock Fayetteville street presented a scene resembling Broad way New York. At 10 o'clock THB PARADE commenced and the procession headed by the Durham and Raleigh bands marched up Fayetteville street to Morgan, thence to Salisbury,thence to Edenton. and down Edenton to the north gate of the Capitol Square, en tering which it proceeded to the stand on the north of the State house erected for the speakiug In the foremost carriage wereSenator Vance, Gov Fowle, Mr A D Jones, Maj R S Tucker, Rev Dr L L Nash, Mayor Thompson and the members of the committee. THB FIRE DEPARTMENT. The Raleigh Fire Department fol lowed, headed by the Chiefs wagon in which road Chief Englehard and Assistant Chief Ferrall. In the department were the ntw Hook and Ladder Truck, No 1; the Rescue Company with Steamer and two Horse Reels, No 1, and wagon No 5, Capital Hose Wagon No 3 The bicycle ridders attracted much attention with their gaily decorated machines. As the procession marched up Fay etteville street the scene was one of gayest festivity. The whole town wore holiday attire. Flags flaunted to the breezes and swung here and there in massive folds, while gay buat'ng and streamers of endlesscolors hung in graceful curves along the fronts of the buildings on Fayette ville street. The 'exercises were opened with prayer by Rev Dr L L Nash, after which Hou A A Thompson, mayor, Introduced His Excellency Governor Fowle. Gov Fowle delivered a most admi rable talk and in conclusion cordially welcomed the visitors to the Capital of the Old North State. After the reading of the declaration of Independence by A D Jores, Esq, Senator Vance commenced his speech having been introduced by Mayor A A Thompson. In our limited rpace, we cannot, of course, give anything, like a just synopsis of the address. It was a grand effort, in full keeping in all re spects, with the great reputation of Senator Vance. At the conclusion of the Senator's speech the vast crowd dispersed, and spent the day in the varied enjoy ments offered. At 2 o'clock the Durham band dis coursed excellent music to a large crowd on Capitol Square. The selec tions were most admirable. THB FIREMEN'S CONTEST. At 3 o'clock a vast concourse of peo pie assembled on Fayetteville street to witness the firemen's contest and other amusements laid down in the programme. The crowd on the street between the Capitol and the Postof flce could not have been less than five or six thousand. The Victor fire company, colored, gave a fine exhibition of their skill which brought great applause from the crowd. The first thing was a foot race in which Tom Terrell was the winner. Next the Victor team gave an exhibition with their reel carriage. The distance was three hundred yards, and they made the run and made connection in twenty-nine sec onds. They then made ft grab run and made the same distance in twen ty two seconds. This was marvel lously quick time, and the Victors were loudly applauded, THE WHIT3 FIRE DEPARTMENT. The entire department of white firemen gave an exhibition in front of the market house in the afternoon, commencing at 6:30 o'clock. An alarm was sent in from box 212, one round, which was quickly re sponded to by the department. All had orders from the Chief not to go out of a slow trot in order to avoid accident to the large crowd. The different machines were quickly in front of the market house and turned on eight streams of water, which wore played in all directions to the intense admiration of the crowd. Af ter the exhibition the elegant new hook and ladder truck was turned over to the fire department in appro priate words by Mayor Thompson, and was accepted by Mr. W. R. Wom ble on behalf of the fire department. Chief Eugelhard christened the new wagon on behalf of the department and named it after Mr. Womble. The display of the firemea was heartily enjoyed by the vast crowd that witnessed it. Quite an interest ing tournament took place between the two Rescue nozzles, both of which threw pretty hold streams at each other to the great amusement of the bystanders. THE FIRE WORKS. 1 his was the grandest feature of the occasion and was the finest in all respects ever seen in North Carolina. An estimate of the crowd can hardly be made or even approximated. There was a perfect jam, or to use a common phrase, a "solid mass" of hu manity. The pyiotechnic display was beautiful beyond description. THE SOLDIERS' HOME FESTIVAL. After the fireworks there was a gen eral rush for the Soldiers' Home Fes tival. All the streets leading to Nash Square were literally packed with men, women and children, wending their way thither. The scene at the square was brilliant indeed, and it is a source of the greatest satisfaction to say that the pecuniary receipts have reached the highest expecta tion. We cannot give all the different phases of the great event, nor can we call to mind the many incidents of the day. It is sufficient to say, that there. has never been a similar event in Raleigh or even in North Carolina, that passed off with more eclat, or in which all classes more heartily participated. A Probability of the Future. ' Durham Globe. The spectacle of a woman in the United States Senate is among the possibilities, not to say probabilities, of the near future. The Senate has voted to admit Wyoming territoryto the sisterhood of States, with the woman suffrage attachment of that interesting aspirant for membership in the Union. FOUGHT IN FOUR WARS. A Notable Character In New ! Orleans Passed Quietly Away. New Orleaus Exchange. ' "Old Jordan," General Jackson's (drummer boy at the Battle of New Orleans, who died here recently, m ; popularly supposed to be one hundred . and three years old, but was actually only ninety. "Jordan" B Noble was colored, but nearly white, and was born a 6lave. He came to New Or leans in 1812, and was employed as drummer in the Seventh United States in 1813. He was present with his regiment, then commanded by Col Penn, at the Battle of New Or leans. Jordan was iu all the battles under General Jackson, and in 1830 took part in the Seminole War.drum ming for the First Louisiana Brigade commanded by Colonel, afterward General, Persifr Smith. He went to the front again in 1846 in the Mexican War, serving with Col Walton's Louisiana regiment. When in New Orleans he was captured by General Butler in 13G2. Jordan, al though then an old man, offered his services to the Federal General, and organized the Seventh Louisiana Colored Volunteers, in which regi ment he held the commission of Cap tain. He acted as drummer for the military here until a few years ago, when old age incapacitated him. He preserved to the time of his death the drums used by him at the battle of New Orleans and in the Mexican War. The Lottery Question. New Orleans, La., July 1. The lottery question has been settled so far as the legislature is concerned. The opponents of the lottery, find ing themselves beaten in both hous es, agreed to a compromise proposi tion, which was accepted by the com pany. The lottery bill, which has passed the house and is before the Senate, is to be passed without ob struction the state accepting $1,200,- 000 a year for the lottery privilege. The bill is submitted in the form of an amendment to the State. Const! tution, and has to be voted on by the people at the next State election in April, 1892. Before that time, how ever and this is the compromise agreed on today a primary election is to be held on some day not yet agreed on, at which only whites shall vote on this question of accepting the lottery company's offer. If a major ity favors the proposition the antis are to withdraw all opposition and let the amendment go through in 1892. If a majority is against it the lot tery company will withdraw its offer and leave the Statetwhen its charter expires The compromise takes the lottery question out of the next state election, where it was feared it would split the Democratic party and cause great confusion. The campaign promises to be the most exciting Lou isiana has had for many years. Special Rates.
