Legislative Notes.
The remarks of Senator Lucas, yes
terday in asking to have his name re
corded in favor of the Soldiers' Home
bill, were"boautiful and touching. It
was a noble tribute, and there were
many moist eyes, among those who
beard it.
The health of the members seems
to have somewhat improved, and
there are fewer empty seats than
during last week.
The discussion on the proposed
amendment w me constitution, eiect-
a A. A. - A 1 Af A. A 1 I A
ing solicitors by a vote of the people
of the State generally, caused a wide
discussion yesterday, which seemed
to run into strict political lines. The
spat was principally betweenSenators
Turner and Aycock, Democrats, and
Senator Walser, Republican. Good
humor Drevailed. generally, with
but a riffle of temper. 1
The outlook now is that the mer
chants purchase tax will be repealed
or modified. Ic seems probable that
a license tax of from $1 to $4 will be
substituted
One of the most important matters
to be considered before the present
Generaly Assembly, is that of the ex-.
tension of the Atlantic and North
Carolina Railroad, which is now un
der serious discussion by the commit
tee to whom it has been referred.
That an extension of the line will
prove of advantage to the State's in
terest in the road, is conceded. There
are three routes proposed, one to
Charlotte.onetoSanford and another
direct to the Tennessee line. Mr. J'.
E. Robinson, the fctate proxy, and
Mr. W. 8. Chadwick,' president of the
road, have been in consultation over
the matter. It will come before the
L gislature at an early day.
Slashed by Sam Jones.
Last November Rev. Sam P. JoneB
conducted a series 01 meetings at
Palestine Texas. He paid his usual
respects to Lukewarm church mem'
bers, easy-going preachers, tattling
women and gossiping men. All of
these took their doses with a seeming
meek recognition of the truthfulness
in (he . haicb epithets; but when he
touched the tooirhs, tliere was blood
in the air..
The rover ml gentleman arraigned
th- laxuess lu the Anforcement of the
laws and the faithlessness of public
offlceie. The men who sold liquor as
well as those who drank it were
roundly denounced, and the mayor
of Palestine along with other officers
of the law came in for his share,
though absent from the city at the
time, Mr. Jones was at Palestine
again, on Tuesday vlast, and while
bidding adieu to some friends as he
was about to. take the. train for La
Grange, the ' Mayor Hon. John J
Word 'advanced toward Mr. Jones
and began caning him; they grap
pled, a - moment and when they re
leased'each other, Jones had the cane
which he proceeded la UBft in good
Georgia style upon the head and face
olhis antagonist. The latter awoke
to the fact that the tables had turned.
"l always qm despise aoowaru, saiu
Jones as he turned' ar&y from the
thoroughly chastised Mayor.
He dictated r a telegram to some
friends in Georgia, which lead:,
vvThe tne-gallus mayor of Palestine
trl$d to cane your' Uncle Jones this
morningat the depot. I .wrenched
the cane front him and wore him oat.
I am a'shttle 'difigured but;(stili in
h& ripg. I criticised h,is official
career last November. It needed
criticising. Sam Joites.
THE FEOPIiE IHDIGWANT. '
''Though Mr. J ones, left immediately
for LaGrange, the sensation remained
behind him. The people wereindig-
ilant that the; mayor of . the town
shouloVfee guUty of such an act, and
a meeting was a.toncp called for to-
night to take Aetjon. The principal
mover in the imaetrng said it would
denfand the reslgnatlohs-of Mayor
Word Bind his brother officials He j
gayj though the friends of Mayor.
Word deny it tnat me mayor as
tempted to draw a revolver on Mr.
Jones. Word says that he carries a
revolver, as a public officer, but that
he did not attempt to use it. Both
combatants bled profusely. Durham

SETTLED.
The Full Amount Necessary
lor the Great Southern
Exposition Raised.
a matlncy r f k- Mti,n. nt Rlo.h
wag held laflt nightt for the pur. I
the soliciting committee for the es
tablishment of the Southern Immi
gration Bureau and ensuring the Ex
position In our city.
The meeting was called to order by
Maj. Tucker and Mr. Holding. The
chairman of the committee submitted
a report showing that the full amount
of $10,0C0 had been secured, with the
exception of about $300. Upon this
announcement, Messrs. Matthews,
O'Kelly and Hamlin, colored, volun
teered to raise one sixth of the bal
ance, provided the committee would
pledge the balance. This proposition
was accepted. It can be said to the
credit of the colored people of Raleigh
that-their efforts have been nobly
exerted, they having raised, thus far,
about $770.
After a few well timed remarks by
Maj. Tucker, the meeting adjourned.
We congratulate our people upon
the bright outloek before us. Our
duty has been performed and it
should confidently be expected that
the object in view has been achieved.
Another Collision.
It is reported that Messrs. Josephus
DanielB and Capt. S. A. Ashe came to
blows in the capltol ' about 10 o'clock
this morning. It seems that they
met on thelower floor of the building
each having a cane. They were tus
selling when separated by Senator
Ardrey and Mr. Cooper.
We, like all right minded citizens,
regret the occurrence of these un
pleasant meetings between these gen
tlemen. They should remember that
the results of such collisions prove
nothing except that one got the ad
vantage in that particular conflict.
The case came before Ma yOrThomp
son this afternoon at 4 o'clock for in
vestigation, but the lateness of the
hour prevents us from giving the de
tails elicited on the examination of
witnesses.

Fine Hotels.
Throughout the South the demao'l
for elegance in hotel structure and
appointments is on the Increase. The
great hotel which Millionaire Plan
has just built at St. Augustine, Fit.,
will have telephone communication
with the main office and also with
each room. The telephone will be
used instead of the electric button so !
that guests will not only be able to
communicate with the office and their
friends in other rooms, but the great !
orchestrion which was one of the mar
vel8 at the Parig eIpOBitiont is to be
played in the large music room of
the hotel, and any guest can by mere
ly telephoning to the office be con
nected with the orchestrion and have
1
the music transmitted to him in full
volume. In fact, he can put in act
ual practice one of the most wonder
ful of Bellamy's conceptions, and
every night, if he likes, go to sleep
listening to the most enraituriug
music.
