An electric railway, a through line and a belt railway. These are the objective matters for our city. There will be very little business transacted in the city tomorrow. Make your purchases this evening. Improvements on East Hargett street recently made and in process of making are verily improvements that have been needed for sometime. There are other sections that badly need tlieattention of the City Fathers also. The Seaboard Air Line people have more than their hand full at their freight depot with iheir present force aud ard room. Thev need five miles more of yard track at Innst. This large inerease of freight business is to a considerable extent the result of the extension of the G. C. & N Road towards Atlanta. Rev. A.

AX NOUN CE M EXT. Pk;oh, N. C, Nov. 13, 1890. I hav i day sold out and trans ferred aiiuit interest in tim KaTeigb Evening Visitor to Mr. T. !. Wil liams thereby severing my connection with the same. In thus retiring from the paper, I take occasion to return ray bincere thanks to a generous public for their patronage and kindness and nsk for my successor, Mr. Williams, a like neasure in that line, hoping that he may real'ze to the highest degree all the success that energy and perse verance may demand. Very respectfully, A. L. Ferrbll. In grasping the pencil for the col umns of the Visitor, we are not dis posed to indulge very extensively in rash promises and hard to-be-kept pledges. We will, however, try to make it a suitable and acceptable medium of conveying the local hap penings to the family circle. The public is a hard task master To please all is next to impossible. We shall try to be impartial as far as practicable; and especially to avoid prosy elongation to till up. Multum in parvo is truly the de uiand of the age; and to meet this de niand is one of the most difficult tasks the journalist is called upon to per form. The Evening Visitor has always posed before the public as a non-par tisan newspaper and will continue to be so in the future, but does not promise to pass unnoticed and unex posed such practices and measures as may be against the public interest, though such practices and measures are the acts and resorts of party poli ticians. Now that the end of the hard times is over which most of us have been whining and growling for a longtime, has arrived bringing with it the most abundant crops that have been en joyed for years and the prices obtain ed to the present are reasonably good, let each keep up his end of the log ard step in precise time with all the others, that there be no jarring or unfair burden upon any, that public enterprise in all the lines available may be borne on steadily to a grand consummation in our fair city. T. C. Williams. Shall We Have Them? It is now reasonably certain that at no distant day Raleigh will be on a regular through line between the North and South by virtue of the completion of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern R R. This means a boom of no ordinary character for oor city, and by proper effort, it should mean the establishment, in our city, of the workshops of the entire Seaboard Air Line system. This would give an al most incalculable impetus to the in dustries of Raleigh, and confer bene fits, pecuniary and otherwise that can hardly be overestimated. Now that the political campaign is about over we hope our people will take this matter in hand and push it to the fullest extent. Let our Cham ber of Commerce have meetings of tener than they have of late, and let them have argus eyes over a matter fraught with so much interest to our people. There can possibly be no better location for the work shops of the entire system, from every point of view. ' "' Shall we have them? Soldiers' Home. We hope that the interest of our people in this noble cause, will sot for a moment lag. There is room enough for the philanthropy of all in a cause that appeals bo much to our patriotism and humanity. It is a special pleasure to note that the la- ' dies are active in the matter, and are ' doing noble work. On Friday night ' last a concert was given at the resi dence of Mr. J. A. Askew, at Falls ' of Neuse for the benefit of the Home, and we hear that a snug little sum , was realized. Thus it is, that the la- j dies are adding pleasure to business, ana iney snouia De patronized to tne fullest extent. Satan. On tomorrow night the talented actress, Miss Rose Osborne will hold forth in Metropolitan Hall in an en' tirely new play entitled "Satan."The play is not of a sensational type nor either is it of the Faust style as its name may lead one to suppose. In reality it is a drama of the best type. Appealing to our intelect, the story is clothed in language that stamps it at once as the work of a masterhand. Its plot is new and intensely interest ing; its comedy is of a high order, re fined and ckan. Of Miss Osborne herself, the New York World says her acting is of great importance to man kind and is one that cannot be for gotten, when intelligent judgment endeavors to form an estimate of in dividual work and rank in the world of wit. Like muster pieces in other kinds of acting.it reveals new beauties to those who examine it most closely and excites the 'greatest admiration in those who are familiar with it. Attempt at Suicide. Intelligence was received here late Saturday afternoon last, that a most estimable young man named J. B. Suttle, a student at Wake Forest Col lege, from Asheville had attempted suicide by shooting with a pistol, on Friday night. It seems that on the evening noted, young Suttle had re tired as usual with no signs of any thing in his actions to justify the tragic attempt on his life. When dis covered it was found that he had placed the muzzle of the pistol just over his right ear, the bullet taking effect and lodging in his head. When found he was unconscious, but after wards rallied a little. Two letters were found in his room, one of which was addressed to his parents and the other to his fellow students. In the letter he assured them of his high ap preciation of their uniform kindness, stating that no act of theirs had in pelled him to the rash act. The con tents of the letter to his parents have not been made public. At latest ac counts the sufferer was still living but his condition is said to be extremly critical. Millinery Goods. We believe we have the most com plete line of millinery goods in Ral eigh. We have every new shape in hats that has been put on the mar ket this season in French felt and in frames. We have all the new things in plumes and birds, and last but not least, we have a trimmer from Balti more who thoroughly understands all the new style of trimming and she is an artist in getting style on the hats, and what is more we do sell the milli nery goods much cheaper than any one else in Raleigh. For instance, a hat that will cost you $6 anywhere else we will give you for $4. A hat that will cost you $4 elsewhere we will give you for $2.50, and so on all through, and then after you have bought your hat Bee the dress goods and we will save you money on a dress. On a carpet we will make you feel good, also on rugs. See the shoes At Swindell's. Mr. W. 17. Brockwell leaves tomor row for his present home in Washing ton city. He has been in the city for several days on a visit to friends. P. T. Iiarinun uikI.T. i. Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth. The British public ar notoriously the most difficult on etrth to please in the way of amusements. Every holiday season in 1 ondou great spectacular plays aud pantomimes are produced at the leading theatres, which are gotten up upon the most extensive and magnificent scale and at an immense expense, to meet (he requirements of so exacting a pe ple. In opposition to all this the Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth, at an outlay of f 500,000 in cash for transportation alone across the Atlan tic, and undertaking that required four of those big ccean steamers, ex hibited in the City of London for a period of over three months and re alized a business unparallele i iu the annals of amusements All the gre.it plays and spectacles formerly pro duced there were.in very truth, made small by comparison with their tre men dous American enterprise and not only England but the entire people of Europe was struck dumb with amaze ment. Never in their wildest dreams did the people of Europe conceive of such a magDifk-ent exhibition as the one given them by Barnom and Bai ley, for in addition to a triple circus, hippodrome, double menagerie, horse fair, two herds of elephants, elevated stage performances and all the other attractions that have made the?e shows the first in the universe, there has been added ImreKiralfy's "Nero, or the Destruction of Rome." Now to comprehend this regal part of the monster shows one must recollect that 1,500 people were require i to perform in it. Just think ! Was there ever such an overwhelming entertainment ever thought of in the history of the world? Fifteen hundred people, Rome gladiators, lictor., charioteers, a ballet of three hundred charming, ladies containing Italian, French, English, German, Spanish, Austrian, African, American, young ladies. The finest scenery ever constructed, the costliest and most charming costumes the finest horses and the most colos sal and stupendous parade in the streets the mind of man ever conceiv ed. Requiring a stage 450 feet long, a tent 600 feet long, and five trains of cars to transport it. No wonder the whole of Europe as amazed, as all others will who see it in this country, for it will be here precisely the same as it was in London on November 6th. The great street parade will take place in the morning on the first day Of exhibition in this city. SPECIAL NOTICES. For Rent. A nice 5 room cottage; water and neighborhood the best. N.
