are informed, op to New York.
The attendance in the Senate con tinues
rather thin, and a general
coughing and sneezing of those pres
ent seem to indicate incipient
"grippe."
Rumor cow asserts most positively,
that the electric street railway will
be extended as far west as the Agri
cultural and Mechanical College. We
give it as we hear it.
'1 here will be an entertainment at
Beulatt Methodist Church at Garner
for the benefit of the church tonight;
good music, a large gathering, and a
good time generally to those who at
tend. Everybody invited; dont fail
to go.
Senator Williams, of Pitt, guards
his interest bill with all the solicitude
of parental fondness. The Senator
says bills of incorporation give him
more uneasiness than all else besides
He watches with Aigus eyes to see if
the interest feat uie (if any there be)
exceeds 6 per cent.
We have never known a time when
the ladies took more interest in Legis
l ition than during the present session
oi me urenerai Assembly. Every day
finds a considerab'e crowd in the gal
leries of both Houses, and they watch
the progress of law making with all
the patience of trained politicians
Their presence lends a charm to all
the surroundings.
we hope that the new route to
Petersburg and Richmond by the
way of Ridge way may be an accomp
lished fact in a few months. It will
save many miles of travel, and there

of passenger and freight trausporta
tion. Going to Petersburg and Rich

A New Station House.
We have heard nothing of late con
cerning a new station or guard house
Some year "or so since, it was said
that tin city authorities had in con
templation the erection of a new place
for the incarceration of offenders
against municipal ordinances, Lut
the matter seems to have been entire
ly dropped. That we need a better
lock up than the one now used in the
, basement of the market house, is an
parent to all who know anything of
i he matter. 'I he present location is,
in all respects unsuited to the wants
of a city the size- of Raleigh. Can't
our worthy Mayor and Chief of Po
lice set their heads together and im
press upon our City Fathers the ne

Street Dentistry.
This morning quite an amusing
operation that didn't operate took
place near the Cotton Exchange on
Wilmington street. A sable country
. man, who complained of an aching
tooth took his seat on the curb stone
for Ex Policeman Goodwin to extract
It for him. -Mr. Goodwin secured a
pair of pinchers, made for other uses.
and getting hold of the tooth while a
sturdy bystander took the sufferer by
the chin and the top of the head or
nose and then thepullingcommenced.
After pulling for some time as vigor
ously as if trying to get a ten penny
nail out of an oak post, failed to bring
it end then concluded it waB the
wrong tooth.The pulling and squirm-
fog was said to he very vigorous.

Salvini Before a Sclma Audi
ence.
Alexander Salvini appeared before
a large audience last evening at the
Academy of Music in "A Child of
Naples." This is not the best piece
in Salvini's repertoire, but by his
masterful acting and with the excel
lent support of his fine company he
charmed his audience with his artistic
representation of the eapolitan laz
zaroue, and in every scene he shows
himself a master of his art. Salvini
is by no means merely the son of his
father, but the mantle of a great sire
has fallen upon a worthy son. The
support was exceptionally fine. Mrs.
Arden, as Lucia, and Mr. Delamater.
as Baron Delia Rocca, being worthy
of especial mention. The perfor
mance last night was a great and
highly appreciated dramatic treat to
those who witnessed it.
The management has secured the
appearance in Raleigh of the great
a-uor Salviui, at considerable cost,
desiring to give our people the ad
vantage of first class dramatic enter
tainments. It can be stated however.
that no extra high prices are charged
the admission being the usual scale
of prices. Remember that reserved
seats are now on sale at MacRae's
drug store.

Battle With Six Shooters.
New Roads, La.. Jan. 25. On Sat
urday, the 17th inst, there occurred I
at the store of Messrs. Maims & Riley '
on bayou Latanache, in this DariBh. i
one of the bloodiest and most deeper-'
ate fights ever: recorded in the his J
tory of this parish. The particioanta !
were J. B. Davis and Sam Davis, two '
brothers, and David Leatherman, a !
very estimable young man. a brother I
in law of J. B. Davis. The three men !
cime to the store together, seeming j
ly on friendly terms with one anoth-
er. After remaining there some time ',
J. B. Davis and Leatherman became 1
involved in a dirpute about settln I
ment with some colored laborers. In
the heat of the quarrel J. B. Davis.
addressing his brother, said:
"Sam, it is time to begin." and bot h
simultaneously drew their pistols and J
covered JUeatnerman, who, quick as a
flash, knocked J. B. Davis' arm up
with his left hand, causing the bullet
therefrom to lodge in the ceiline.and.
drawing at the same time, shot him
twice in the side and breast, killing
him instantly.
In the meantime, the other Davis
keeping up a steady fire at Leather
man.nearly every bullet fiom his pis
tol however taking effect in the head
of his brother, who was between the
two.
Leatherman, without a scratch.
turned his attention to him. and shot
him twice, inflicting very dangerous
wounds.
This terrible affair is the more de
plorable by reason of the family con
nection between the parties. J. B
Davis was buried the next day. His
brother is in a critical condition and
may not recover.
Leatherman surrendered to the
authorities and will be given a pre
liminary examination.
Two Special Sales.
My dear friend, do you know why
there are so many poor people in this
world? Do you? I hear you answer.
No. Well, I will tell sou. First.they
never see a good thing till some one
else has taken it in. Then, they rub
their eyes and say, why did I not see
that before. Then if they do see it
their brain is so tough they cannot
comprehend it in time. Some one
comos up and secures it while they
are looking at it. Now our special
hat sale and special white shirt sales
are plain proofs of this. Some come
in and walk up against our pile of
hatsmaikedinbigred letters "Spe
cial hat sale 6 cents for choice,"
and Bay what are these hats worth,
50 cents? But you see one of those
sharp, shrewd women come in and
her keen eye sees all in the store at
once. Hallo! Special sale, 6 cents
and she says not another word but
selects what she wants, takes her
little purse out and pays the bill.
Same way with the white shirts
Some fellow comes in, sees the advan
tage of buying these shirts while
they are cheap, takes what he wants.
The numb skull says, well, you won't
sell all of them before I need them.

not too iate. D. T. Swindell,
