On Saturday night or early Sunday morning the grocery ptre of a colored man named Strickland, uetr the railroad crossing, on Fayetteville street was entered and a considera ble quantity of goods, such a bacon, flour, cigars, etc , taken. There is no direct clue to t he thief, although an axe was found on the premises which may probably lead to detection. An Old Rtceipt. We have been shown by a friend an off cial receipt for taxes collected on spirits by the internal revenue colleo tor in the year 1814. It was for the Ninth North Carolina district, and the receipt was given in Rockingham county. This tax wbb levied by the United States goerninent to aid in the prosecution of the war of 1812 with Great Britain. It is a curiosity. No Electric Street Railway Yet. Dr. Jacobs and his family leave on this afternoon's train North. He will return soon, we understand, and will remain some time with us. The Doctor, or somebody, made some mistake somewhere in reference to the electric street railway. We don't know who is responsible for the hang up, but we should like the best in the world to see the road in opera tion. This Apathy is Alarming. What is the meaning of the total apathy on the hotel question among our people. With the Inter States Exposition approaching, every man who feels any interest in our city should be keenly alive, if not greatly alarmed, on the subject. We must have a large increase in hotel capacity or we had better abandon the expo sition. We certainly cannot afford to advertise the exposition and yet make no provision for the people who come to it. Our magistrates. The following are the magistrates selected by the last Legislature for Wake county: Barton's Creek R. L. Thompson, Buckhorn W. J. Olive, J. M. Ut lav. I Gary E. W. Yates. Cedar Fork B. H. Marcom. Little River W. H. Ohamblee. Neuse River J. T. Hunter, Jr. New Light W. D. Ray. St. Mary's Fab Whitaker. St. Matthews W. P. Batchelor. Swift Creek S. O. Wilson. Wake Forest W. C. Brewer, Geo. E. Gill. White Oak Henry B. Holland. Raleigh Walter R. Womble. The Oxford and Coast Line Railway. Acting under the charter granted at the recent session of the General Assembly, the above name company was organized last Thursday by the election of the following Directors; Dr. H. C. Herndon, A. W. Graham, W. A. Davis, L. E. Cooper, W. C. Reed, J. B. Booth, J. C. Hundley, Oxford; J. B. Boatright,W. T. Hughes, Louisburg; Willis Wood, Nashville; John O. Plank, "Chicago. The following officers were elected: Dr. H. C. Herndon, Presi dent; H. D. Edgerton, Firet Vice President; B. A. Capehart, Second Vice-President; R. W: Lassiter, Jr., Secretary; W. H. Hunt, Treasurer; A. W. Graham and F. S. Spruill, at torneys. It is in contemplation to build the road at once. We rather fear that the scheme will operate rather unfavorably upon the pros pects of an extension of the Albemarle and Raleigh Railroad to this city. However, we still hope for the best. At Virginia, Nev., Bella Preusch a 15 year old girl, yesterday was sus pended fro m school for thirty days for misbehavior, and went home and shot herself with a revolver, inflicting a fatal wound. Court House Dots. j We strolled into Wake County's Temple of Justice today hunting for something of interest for oar readers in these "piping timet of peace and dearth of news." We found the of flee of the Clerk of the Superior Court vacant. That is we found that this popuiar official had for the pres- ' ent taken up new headquarters for the purpose of having his rooms ' thoroughly cleaned up, whitewashed, etc We told him wi came to make a raid on his news budget, but be as sured us with his usual bland smile that he was willing to tell all he knew, and regretted that it would amount to very little so far as 'news- papeidom" was concerned. He thinks that there is not as much being done by our people in the way of giving mortgages as has prevailed for the past year or so. This speaks well for the farmers of Wake, who are now in better condition than for some sea ( sons. In the Register of Deeds' office we ( received information that there were many mortgages being oancel led j This is most gratifying assurance of j the improveing pecuniary condition of our people. i We called on Sheriff Page. He is getting on finely with his office, and anybody can see by his countenance that he is happy with himself and the rest of mankind. He says there are only ten criminals so far, in jail to be tried at the next term of the Superior Court. They are held main ly for larceny. All but one are col ored. It is but just to the Sheriff we should state that the jail is kept in most perfect order and all the ar rangements are of the neatest kind. Wake county has' a splendid corps of officials. Personal Mention... Mr. Geo. C. Jordan, of Staunton, Va., is in the city. Mr. E. C. Hackney, of Durham, is in the city selling cheroots. Mr. Jos. E. Wilson, of Morganton, is at the Yarboro. Maj. W. A. Guthrie, of Durham, is in the city. The Misses Cordon, we are sorry to learn are sick. Mr. J. B. Hogan, is sick at his resi dence on North Salisbury street. Mr. W. D. Buff aloe, near Garner, is very sick. Ex-Sheriff Rowan Rogers is better. Mr. S. F. Mordecai is recovering from his recent illness. Dr. J. B. Dunn is no better today. Mrs. Bettie Bell, is still quite sick at her residence on Avent Ferry Road. The latest news from Mr. M. Graus man is not so encouraging. He is still quite ill. At the Yarboro: R. W. Royster, Charlotteville; J. G. White, H. E. Wheeler and Geo Bancrof.New York; J. A. Burns, John Taylor, J. W. Price and C. Rockland, Baltimore; J. H. McMacken, Norfolk; R. C. Latebush and J. E. Carthage, Philadelphia; N. P. Gray and A. Metz, Chicago. A Chicago, 111., dispatch says search is being made for Christian He ff worth a barbers apprentice in Chicago, who has fallen heir to $75,0u0in Germany. The Executive Committee of the worl d's fair directory has appropiated $150,000 for cash premiums for live stock exhibits at the Fair. Hon. John E. Carr, an ex member of the New Hampshire Legislature, was killed at Haverhill, Mass., by a mad bull. A neighbor who heard the unfortunate man's cries and had come to his assistance, was tossed by the bull, but managed to escape. Eight hundred weavers employed at the Atlantic mills, Providence, R. I., are out on a strike, on account of alleged excessive fines imposed for al leged imperfections' in' cloth. They also complain of the frequency of fines. XV. II. & U. S. Tucker A Co. Thk Jknnkss Miller Bodice. This garment has been designe 1 by Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller to meet the wants of those who desire something in a boned waUt to take the place of a corset. We now offer these for sale and invite our patrons to call and ex amine them. W. H. & R. 8. Tcckkr & Co. Some of the Things You Can Find at Headquarters. It has loug since been given up that Swindell's Great Emporium is head quarters for low prices on all kinds of dry goods, clothing, hats, shoes, gent's furnishing goods, notions and dress goods We will state that special at tention has been given to our shoe department, which is now complete. It embraces a full assortment of men's, women and children's shoes, all styles, every pair solid leather, and we guar antee the price to be lower than you can buy them elsewhere. To the la dies we will say that we specially in vie your attention to our line of dress goods, which will be the largest and rarest assortment ever offered in this market, with all the late and new style trimmings to match. All of which will be sold at a bargain at Swindell's. Special Drives Are the order of the day, and we can now announce one of utmost im portance to the public generally. Think of it: nice ladies' 6hoes of first class make only $2; unlaundri d shirts 50 and 75 cents; laundried $1. These are first class bargains. Spring goods arriving in endless variety of all shades and latest styles. The ladies should make a rush for them, as no such tempting offers have been made in Raleigh for a long time. Separk has determined not to be outdone in the bargain line, as will readily be shown by a visit to his establishment. This is no idle boast; it is right down solid fact. For variety and style, Se park is unsurpassed. W. G. Separk, 12 East Martin St. Mar 16 lw Under the head of Stray Notes in "Town Topics" we clip the following: With less generous management, I daresay, the Ponce de Leon might have been a failure, but the policy adopted from the first was such as to attract the wealth and fashion of the whole country, and under such cir cumstances success was simply un avoidable. Following in precisely the same line the Tampa Bay Hotel people have already begun a harvest of shekels, and the house, I learn, which has been open but a few weeks, is crowded to the doors with a long list of applications for rooms. For the most part the Florida pilgrims seem perfectly willing to pay good prices for good service, but I am quite willing to believe the story to the ef feet that Mr. "Jack" Astor objected to the rates .charged him at the Ponce de Leon for himself and bride. Not that there was anything unreasonable ! in the terms, but because it is one of young Mr. Astor's proud distinctions, that he never pays a dime when he can get off with a nickel. I am told that having telegraphed Manager Seavey for rooms, that energetic gen tleman at once had the bridal suite put in order, and moreover, arranged a bouquet of flowers on the centre table in the parlor, and spread about a few orange blossoms in graceful honor of the bride. The bridal suite are the rooms usually occupied by the Vahderbilts when they visit the Ponce de Leon, and they were charged to Mr. Astor at the usual rate, $30 a day, with $S extra for the board of Mrs. Astor's maid. This fact the young scion of the William Astor branch of the family lost no time in learning, and according to the story which reaches me, he at once protested and expressed a desire for cheaper quarters.
