Members of the Track, will please remember their meeting to be held tonight at 8 o'clock. The Register of Deeds issued one marriage license this morning. The new Register wants to get op a boom in this line. The tobacco warehouses are over ran with tobacco again today; double sales. Good for Raleighjwhoopher op gentlemen. Let the good work go on. At the meeting of the directors of the North Carolina Railroad, held herd yesterday the usual dividend of 6 per cent, was declared. Ex-Mayor King, of Greensboro, one of the most popular citizens of the "City of Flowers", is here in the in terest of certain matters pending be fore the General Assembly. The Governor's Gnard have month ly prize drill next Thursday evening at 8 o'clock in their armory.The pub lio are invited to be present. Deputy Sheriff Taylor, of Granville county, turned over four prisoners to the penitentiary authorities this morning. Capt. Roberts, (Superintendent of the capitol grounds, requests parties who are in the habit of pulling violets in the square, to hold up a while and give some one else a chance. The reporter of church notices for the First Baptist Church wakes com plaint of the Visitor for leaving out two or three lines of bis notice oHast Sunday, thereby destroying the sense in part. We are sorry. The county commissioners yester day paid their customary visit to the poor and workhouses. As was to be expected everything was found in good order. Capt. Allen is an effi cient officer. A considerable number of gentle' men representing the tobacco interest in different parts of the State, are in the city. They came here for the pur pose of giving their opinions pro and con oh the, matter of the proposed warehouse regulations. The State Executive Committee of the Farmers1 Alliance is in session here, for the purpose of examining the books of the officials and trans acting other business. The Harry Lindley Company scored another success last night in the beautiful drama, the Castaways. Mr. Lindley carried the house by storm The play was igood and insures for them tonight a crowded house. . A reward of $200 has been offered by the Governor for the arrest of Phila Moore, of Buke County, for the murder of Lee Murdock. It seems that Sheriff Murdock summoned posse to arrest Moore, when Moore turned and killed the deceased. . And now the location of the color ed Agricultural and,Mchanical Col lege is a mooted question, and sever al places are in the field for it. It seems- that Wilmington offers land and cash to the amount of , f 8,000 and Winston comes foiward with proposition of $15,000. Raleigh of fere recitation rooms at ShawUuiver It is a great drawback that there are not more rooms in the capitol, in . which the different committees could hold their meetings. As it is, these committees are compelled to meet frequently in the main Halls of the two Houses, and this causes much in convenience. In this connection, we have heard it suggested that a reason abler appropriation -be made to erect another; building in the square, for the special use of committees. The cost need not be much, and the con venienee can hardly be overeat ; mated. . . " The directors of the North Carolina railroad, yesterday, discussed the proposition U run a branoh to the cotton factory to be loc-ited at the Upohurch place uear the city. The matter was referred to a committee. We have no doubt tbe proposition will be agreed to, as it should be. We hear it, from what would ap pear good authority, that the new Electric Street Railway will be run to both the depots in this city. This will be done with special reference to the freight traffic feature of the charter, and will be a great advantage, not only to the company, but to our mer cantile community. Tbe joint committee on the railroad commission was held last night and a full discussion of the measure enter ed into. Col. Hinsdale and Mr. F. H. Busbee, appeared on the part of the railroad corporations and speeches were made by Hon. Sidney Alexan der and others in favor of the propo Bed bill. It is probable that the committee will report the bill during the present week when exciting times can be expected. Dont fail to attend the mass meet' ing tomght at the court house. It is of the greatest importance, that there should be a large gathering of the citizens of Raleigh. Never let it so abroad that the capital of the State has not the vim and energy to ac complish a thing when they go about it. Citizens eoino out and lets show the world that we are neither dead nor sleeping; thf re is plenty of money and brains here;put them to some use and say to the balance of the State, we have taken the lead. You follow, Commissions Issued. In addition to the appointment of Inspector General, noted yesterday, Gov. Fowle has issued .the following commissions: Dr. W. J. Lumsden, Sergeant First Regiment; R. N. Cartwright, Assis tant Sergeant; C. A. Riddle, Quarter Master ;B, S. Royster was commission ed Captain of Company "E" and W. D. Lynch 2nd Lieut. Merchants Purchase Tax. For several years past, there have been f t tious presented at each ses sion of the General Assembly asking far a repeal of what is known as the "Merchants Purchase Tax." Tester" day a meeting of Representative Merchants from different sections of tbe Slate was held at the Mayor's of fice and resolutions passed asking its repeal by the present legislature. In accordance with this action, the mer chants met the committee onFinance in the hall of the House of Represen tatives yesterday afternoon where a run discussion or tne suoiect was held. There seems to be some divert sity of opinion on the matter of a total repeal, but, that the law wll be modified, in ' important respects, is more than probable. The Warehouse Matter. The committee on agriculture have recently .been tery busily engaged over the matter of warehouse charges for tobacco, and some important meetings on the subject have been held at which considerable discussion has taken place. The bill now pend ing to regulate charges was "intro duced by Mr. Lonr, the representa tive fronvWarren, and a wide differ ence of opinion exists, The bill finds many adherents, especially among the Alliance members. The committee will give a patient hearing to all in terested, so that the question may be submitted to the Legislature in all its details. As we understand it, the bill proposes that the commissions shall be 24 per cent; the .charge for sale not over 10 cents a pilei and the charge for weighing not over 10 cents per hundred pounds, each warehouse to be required to have a regularly ap p ointed and sworn auctioneer, who shall give bond for $1,000, to be filed with the register of Deeds. Legislative Xotes. A bill is pending before the Gene ral Assembly to change the time for County Commissioners to enter on their duties, from the first Monday in December to tbe first Monday in August. This would appear to be a good change. Why should commis- J sioners chosen in the preceding sum mer, be required to wait until Decern - ber before entering on their duties. And now, the ladles may have a chance to get rid of an objectionable husband in a new way. A bill is pending making it a cause for divorce where the husband goes to the peni tentiary as a felon. The galleries of the Senate were crowded today with the beauty of Raleigh, watching with intense in terest the progress of the Soldier's Home bill. Our Post Office. We hope our friend, Col. Shaffer will continue to use his best endeav- ors to secure another clerk. The business of the Postoffice in this city is becoming very heavy, and, al though 4he Colonel has as good and as efficient force as can be found in any city in the Union, yet, we must think an additional clerk is needed. As it is, the general delivery 1b closed up for a considerable time during the day, to the disadvantage of those not within reach of the general delivery, and without boxes. We know that Col. Shaffer fully appreciates the matter, and we hope that the author ities in Washington will remedy the matter by allowing him more aid. Our Wagon Factory. We are informed by W. H. Dodd, Esq , the efficient secretary of the North Carolina Wagon Co., that the plant is making most successful pro gress. They have all the work that they can well do, and orders are con stantly pouring in. The wagons turned out are in point of beauty and durability equal to any manufactured in the north or elsewhere, and, it is most gratifying to note that our people are most liberally patronizing home industry in this respect. We look for the time (and at no distant date) when the stock of the company will be in first class demand and when the plant will become a fine paying one to the extent of the expectations of tbe stockholders. Personal Mention. ExSpeaker Leazer is here. We Bee Mr. Walter Boyd, of War- renton, on the street today. Mr. W. F. Cornegay, of Goldsboro, was in the city today. P. B. Ruffin, Esq., Treasurer of the North Carolina Railroad Co., is in the city. Mr. R. N. Hackett, of Wilkesboro, is in the city. Mr. Geo. V. Jeringan, of Baltimore, is at the Yarboro. Mr. J. T. Britt, of Oxford, is at the Mosely House. Messrs J. A.Taylor and D. A. Moore of Oxford, are registered at the Yar boro. Mr. A. F. Lucas, of Wilmington, is stopping at the Moseley House. Messrs J. S. Carr and W. W. Fuller, of Durham, are in the city looking Home. Mrs. J. C. S. Lumsden on the cor ner of Hargett and West streets is quite sick. We were glad to see on our streets today Mr. J. A. Jones, who has been confined for several days at his home with sickness We were pleased to see Mr. W. R. Murray, a prominent merchant of Greensboro, in the city yesterday. ; Capt. E. D. Hall, for many years. sheriff of New Hanover, is in the city. More programme at the (we like to have said opera house, we ha vent such a thing in Raleigh) Town Hall would be an accommodation ;scarcely tw o thirds of the audience get one. We hope the managers will remedy it. ' Married. In New Berne, this miming at 7 o'clock, Mr. Emory Cole, of this city, to Miss Carrie Rhem, of New Berne. The happy couple arrived in this city this afternoon on the western bound train and are stopping with his par ents onNorth Person street I Two glass factories are reported on j foot in the South one at Savannah I with $50,000 capital and one at Auier icus with ample capital, both iu Georgia.

Morris' Dry Goods Store. Our justly popular $3.00 gents fine shoes in Congress and Bals. seems to meet the wants of a large portion of our trade. A neat, dressy shoe for a moderate price. As soon as we can get control of these goods in this market, we will sell them uuder the manufacturers name and guarantee. Until then, we will sell only under the " Pkarl" brand. Many would like to get control of this line, if they knew where to buy them. Norms' Dry Goods Stork. W. H. & JR. S. Tucker fc Co. BABY CAPS. Attention is called to I our new line of infants caps, in mull, lace, pique, etc. The variety in these goods is greater this season than ever and we would suggest to our patrons to make their selections early, and not wait until the assortment is picked over, as these goods cannot be duplicated late in the season. W. H. & R. S. Tuckkr & Co. Where on Earth do Tou Get all These Bargains ? This question is often asked us,and of course we do not attempt to ex plain; if we did, some would not be lieve -and others would not under stand. We often tell them we get the goods from Uary, Clayton or Apex; rarely ever from Goldsboro We think it makes no difference where they are from, just as long as they are bargains unapproachable and far above the range of competi tion. Swindell's store is getting to be a household word and dear to the heart of nearly every level headed person who pays the all omnipotent cash for what he and his family uses. (There are, however, people who don't come to Swindell's store those who want credit.) People are learning day by day that it is positive suicide to buy sroods elsewhere.- Thev see and know iL-iiV.
