Hall was a treat rarely given in our city. Dr. Hall portrayed in the most life like manner all the great locali ties in the metropolis of the world to the intense delight of his hearers. One could really imagine himself over the water in the British Capital as he followed the lecturer in hiB vivid descriptions. A long residence in Lon don has rendered Dr. Hall perfectly familiar with all phases of life in the great city. Last night was an incle ment one, and a great many persons who earnesty desired to hear the lec ture could not attend. We hope it may be repeated. Blood In His Eyes. A man by the name of Neville who lives on north Salisbury street, im bibed too freely yesterday in moun tain dew and got blood in his eye. He went home searched for and found his trnstv four barrell revolver. He wanted to fight. It occurred to him that there was a man up stairs sick with measles, by the name of Ed. Moore. He forthwith went for Moore with the said four barrell revolver, Moore was dragged from bed and backed up in a corner, and the said revolver poked into his face, when Moore knocked hp Nevill's hand and said revolver was discharged, tearing off the plastering from the ceiling. Moore forthwith wrenched said re volver from Neville and proceeded to take his scalp, using said revolver as a club. Neville is in that hole under the market house which is used for a station house. v Died. In Panther Branch Township, yes terday between 12 and 1 o'clock, Mr. Isaac B. Myatt, of dropsey, aged 73 years. He was a good citizen and mucb esteemed by his neighbors and friends. Mr. Myatt was a brother of our much esteemed friend John My att of this city. East Lynne. This popular play was presented by "The M ile Arne Company last night at Metropolitan Hall as never seen in Raleigh before. M'lle Arne, a young, pretty and talented little ac tress appeared as Lady Isabel and Madam Vines, in which character she was faultless, all the other parts be ing well rendered by the other mem bers of the company, and altogether, it was an excellent rendition of this popular play. Tonight they will pre sent two roaring farce comedies, en titled "Loan of a Lover" and "The Fair Rebel" and the lovers of fun should not miss it. Reserved seats at Mac Rae's Drug Store without any extra charge. Personal Mention. Mrs. J. A. Jones on Hillsboro Btreet is quite sick, also two of her children At the Yarboro: Messrs. W. H.

In the announcement it states that over $50,000 has been expended in placing the paper where it is, and that all its machinery, contracts, subscriptions and franchises aggregate in actual inventory $25,000. This is not very encouraging to newspaper advertis ers. Tojii Jones' Rabbit Ranch. Atlanta Journal. Tom Jones, a worthy colored man, living near the Northeastern depot in Athens, has domesticated a large colony of the old field gray, rabbits. Tom has about twenty five breeders, and says that rabbits are raised as easily as chickens. They run at large in the yard, and become as tame as house cats. They increase very fast, and sell readily at ten cents each for pets or cooking purposes. There are always orders ahead for them. They grow very fast, and from one pair he can raise more rabbits in a year than the best hen will raise chickens. Mrs. Henry and four children were burned to death in the Henry resi- ' dence on'4the Delmonico Place, Brook- lyn, N. Y., Wednesday and two others fatally injured. Raging Wafers. JOHHTOWJT HAS ANOTHER FLOOD- LUMBER FLOA.TIHG DOWH THE SCSQUEHABSA TO THE CHESAPEAKE. Johhstowjt, Pa., Feb. 17th. The people of the town did not sleep last night; it was an all night watch of the encroaching waters. A large portion of the town 1b now under water, and communication with separated points of Johnstown is very difficult. The water in the threatening streams is 17 feet high and still rising amid a pouring rain. The railroad companies contrived to battle with the encroaching waters yesterday, but today, the flood has become too much for them. A por tion of the tracks of the Pennsylva nia railroad at Conemaugh have been swept away, and washouts are also reported at Bellwood and Tipton. The waters in the South Fork and Conec augh creeks are higher than they have been at any time since the great flood, and though the cheering news was given out early this morn ing that they had fallen 17 inches they are again on the rise. Clearfield, Pa., Feb. 17th. For 48 hours warm rains have fallen, and though the river is but four feet lower than the memorable flood of June 1, 1889, in many respects the damage caused by the flood will exceed that of two years ago. That flood caused great loss by carrying away nearly all the bridges, but then our lumbermen had marketed al, their lumber and none was leit on tne DanKs oi tne streams to be carried away. The flood of today found all the timber and logs in the county piled upon the river bank ready to be rafted. As early aa7midnight last night thousands of dollars' worth of timber and logs broke away and went down the river. All day the river has been filled with lumber. No boom has yet been hung atj either Lock Haven or Williamsport, and this timber cannot be secured before it reaches the Ches apeake Bay. This flood will badly cripple many" of our lumbermen, as they have invested all their money in the products of their winter's work, Many of our citizens have moved out of their houses and are preparing for higher water.
