The new hotel scheme for Raleigh is in an appearent deep slumber. Can't it be successfully resurrected ? Be sore to be on hand in time for the bonanza excursion tomorrow morning. Several excursions will be run from different points to the Guilford Bats tie ground on the 4th, inst. Perfect quiet reigned in all the de partments at the capitol today, so far as busin.js was concerned. There is no material change for the better in the condition of Hon. G. M. Busbee. Andrew Byrne, Etq., was today qualified as administrator of Henry Hortoa, deceased. This is the week for the appearance of watermelons, according to the schedule. They are anxiously looked for. "Tobe" Marshall who is chief -of the attacking force says that all is quiet now in the mad dog line. Chief of Police Heartt has sent out notices posting the different parks warning persons against committing depredations in the same. We learn that the admission fee to the fair grounds on (Saturday next to witness the races will be fifty cents. We are not informed as yet whether or not there will be any additional fee for the grand stand. If the party who took the key out of my office door will return the same I will kindly thank them, as it will save me the expense of buying an other lock. Gko. L Tonnoffski. We have been frequently asked why it is that a gap was left in the pavement of the streets north and Bouth of the market house, near the crossings at the junction with Fay etteville street. We can find no one to tell us. It is a considerable incon venience, and is pretty rough on ve hides. It is much to be regretted that so few ot the counties in the State have made appropriations to the Inter state Exposition. It would seeiu from the views of the Attorney Gen eral that such appropriations are not unconstitutional and therefore every county should help out as far as pos sible It seems not to have been definite ly settled whether, in making the Electric Street Railway extension from St. Mary's to the exposition grounds, the middle of Hillsboro road, or one side of it, is to be used This being the case, we think the process of putting down gravel in the middle of the road a little premature. The matter of the track laying should, in our opinion, have been first set tied, v Don't fail to remember the bonanza excursion which comes off tomorrow. The train will leave here at 8:05 a. m. but you had better be at the depot earlier so that you may get tickets and good seats. It is going to be a grand trip, and no mistake. Remem ber the fare is only $2.60 for the round trip. Plenty of good water on board the train, and every precaution will be taken to render the trip a most pleasant one. It will not conflict with the Fourth of July celebration in Raleigh, as the train will return Thursday night July 2nd. Get ready and go. Mr. J. H. Estill, President Morning News Co., Savannah, Ga., says: A member of my family who has been a martyr to neuralgic headaches for twenty years, has found in Bradycro tine an infallible remedy je24 6t The Steam Riding Gallery will be run on Wednesday next, July 1, ex pressly for ladies, gentlemen and chil dren. The races are going to be the great event of the 4th of July. Extensive preparations and many entries are being made. The N. C. Teachers Association will meet in Raleigh during Educa- tion week of tbe Inter State Exposi tion. There will be a special meeting of the Y. P. C, this evening at 8:15 o'clock sharp. Every member is earnestly requested to be present as business of importance wiil be transacted. Switchback Railway. The world renowned switchback railway has been completed and is ready to accommodate the multitudes that will visit Raleigh on the glori ous 4th. Nothing like this has ever been seen in Raleigh before, and all who possibly can should come and experience the delightful sensation of a ride on this wonderful railway. 5t Bled. Telfair Cordon, infant son of Rev. Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Cordon died yes terday afternoon at 5 o'clock, aged one week. The remains were taken to Toisnot yesterday for interment, where, owing to the illness of Mrs. Cordon, the burial services will be held. Annual Report. The annual report of the Mayor and other officers of the city govern ment has been neatly bound and are being distributed to those entitled to them. The report is a most complete showing of the condition of the city, financial and otherwise. Some ads m irable suggestions are made. Among these the most urgent is that an nouncing a new and well arranged station house. This recommendation is an absolute necessity and we hope it will not long fail to receive prompt attention at the hands of our City Fathers. To the Members of Mauteo Lodge, No. 8, 1. O O. F. Brethren: On tomorrow, Tues day night, there will be a most im portant meeting of your lodge and it is most earnestly desired that every brother be present. Among other important matters that will be brought to the attention of the lodge the election of officers for the next term will be held. The first degree of Odd Fellowship will be conferred. The lodge will open at 8 o'clock. Can didates for the first degree will please present themselves promptly at 8:30. All Odd Fellows most cordially invi ted. Fraternally, C. H. Lewellen, t Hoble Grand. Personal mention. Col. L. L. Polk is in the city. Mr. P. M. Wilson returned to Win ston last Saturday. We are glad to hear Mrs. E. M. Mar tin is improving after an illness of six weeks with slow fever. We had the pleasure of seeing Col. Parrish, of Durham, in the city to day. Mr. W J. and Miss Nellie Young went to Greensboro last Saturday on a visit. Mr. Walter Witherspoon of Greens boro, is in the city. Mr. Duncan Syme, of Baltimore, a former Raleigh boy, is in the city. His many friends are pleased to see him looking so well. Dr. G. W. Blacknall, who has been much on the wing recently, returned to the city Saturday afternoon last. We are pleased to see our friend Mr. Boiling W. Starke, of Lynchburg, Va., in the city. Mr. Starke was for a number of years a resident of this city, where he served for a time as manager of the Western Union Tele graph Company. Notice. My wife has left my home and I am forced to take this course to notify the public that I will not be respon sible for any debt she may make. George Medlik. Too Bad. Raleigh has now an estimated pop ulation of about 10,000. In many ro- specta it has fully kept up of late with the more progressive towns of the South. We have waterworks, sewerage, electric lights, street rail way (in the future), &c, but we have no band which we can use on public occasions, such as the Fourth of July. For this purpose we are dependent on other places not so large or pro gressive as our city. This is not as it should be. We should have a good band of music and it should be aided in all manner possible by our people. Good music is not only a great con venience but a species of enjoyment that all cities should have. We hope some of our enterprising young gen tlemen will start the matter, and that it will receive encouragement from our people. Prefers a Piauo to a Husband. A young lady in a neighboring county called at a lawyer's office in a certain city and asked to have a suit begun against a former lover for breach of promise. "He promised t j marry me four times " she said; "but he hasn't kept his word aud my af fections are all blighted " "How much damage do you wish to claim'" enquired the polite lawyer. "Well, I was blighted four times, and I think one hundred dollars a blight is not too much." The lawyer was of the same opinion and he entered a suit for her for four hundred dollars for four blights. The trial lasted three months. The jury rendered a ver dict for the full amount sued for, to gether with costs. The young lady invested the money in a piano, and is far happier today in the posses sion of it than she would have been had she obtained a husband. 2i blights, or $225 will buy a tiptop Sterling piano at W.
