Mud TS. Wood.
The wood question is becoming a
anrious one. The roads in alldiree
inns from the city are bad, to.put it
mildlv. The railroads have been
father indifferent to that sort of busi
nAsH and Raleigh has been too largely
dependent upon a haphazard, "catch
as you can," sort of supply and the
mud has about cut off the country
road eupplyi which threatens a
famine.
Ilural Disgust.
A gentleman went out in the coun

trying to get his wagou together. Our
informant said to him, you seem to
be having a hard time ; yes, he said,
and I wish that ar legislature you've
got thar in Raleigh had to come out
here and wade through this mud bar
footed. Y. M. C. A. Convention.

The Baptist Sunday School Con
vention. -
The first gathering of this body
brought its deliberations to a close to
day at noon, and all in attendance
pronounced it a great success in
attendance, addresses given, work
done, and plans for the future. Most
of this morning was taken up with
considering the project of a summer
institute for the study of the Bible
and places of Sunday school work.
The outgrowth of this convention
will be a Corresponding Secretary
who will conduct Sunday school insti
tutes throughout the State among
the Baptist people.
Amended Charter Ratified.
The act to amend the charter of
the city of Raleigh was ratified yes
terday and is now the law, as March
6th is the date mentioned in the char
ter when it should go into effect.
There are several important changes
made in the charter; but the one
which most concerna the voter now
is the change of our ward representa
t ion. Two aldermen are taken from
the Third and one each added to the
First and Fifth wardB. It occurs to us
this will give general satisfaction,
as thereby the representation is more
nearly based on the strength of the
voting population.

Slyra Clark Gaines Her Case.
Washington, March 4. Justice
Bradley today announced the decis
ion of the Supreme Court in the suit
between the city of New Orleans and
William W. Whitney as administra
tor of the estate of Myra ClarkGaines
This is a continuation of the old
Gaines litigation. After the Supreme
Court rendered its last decision sus
taining the claim of Mrs. Gaines, the
judgment was handed down with cer
tain directions to the Master. From
the findings of the Master the city
brought the suit decided today, bas
ing it on the ground that the city
should not be held liable in the mat
ter of certain groundwhich had been
the subject of compromise between
Mrs Gaines and the tenants. The
Court holds that Mrs. Gaines acquired
the ri hts the tenants had as against
the city; that the report of the Mas"
tsr was correct, and that Mrs.Gaines'
estate should be awarded $34,000 ad
ditional, thus giving a verdic in fa
vor of the Gaines estate on all the
points at issue.
