be Mall wttm BALEIG-B:, T CTESDAT, .A.TTG-TTST ll, 1SQ1: 3STO. 93 NEWS NOTES ABOUT THE CITY, What Our Reporter See and llear Worth Giving to Our Headers New in Brief. The Winston boys triumphed yes terday in the base ball match by a score of 8 to 2. The excursion train will leave the depot at 7:05 o'clock sharp tomorrow morning. Lots of people gone to Morehead and this may be termed a bonanza at oar famous watering place. What's the matter with our young folks ? The matrimonial market is hardly paying expenses, and Register Mial looks disconsolate. Clean up the back lots. This is a dangerous season, and every pre caution should be taken to preserve the public health. Considerably over half of the claims for direct taxeB in Wake county, have been presented. At least, this is the estimate. Now that our friend ex Mayor Thompson has returned, we have uu doubt there will be hustling getting ready for the start of the Farmers and Commercial Bank. We hope to see the day when more brick or brown stone residences will be put up in Raleigh. Such buildings would give us more the air of a genuine city. Electric bells are being placed in the new addition to the Yarboro House, and we suppose, by the time the exposition opens the entire build ing will be furnished with the same convenience. The watermelon pin nicis booming; the floor managers have been ap pointed for the "light fantastic toe." They are as follows: Thos. Badger, Jr., Henry W Miller, Byron Whita ker, John Stronach and Joe K . Mar shall. A nicer, cleverer set of young gentlemen would be hard to find. The alarm of fire sent in at mid night last night was caused from the burning of a cottage on the corner of East and East Hargett streets, oc cupied by Mr. Coy Jordan. The house was nearly destroyed and tin family had a very close escape. Tb house and furniture were insured. The General Assembly meets aaii in 1693. Of course there will be patri otism enough to vote something for the Columbian Exposition which does not take place until that year. Can't our finances help out the old State on a venture. It might be a little risky, but then we must think the members would be ashamed to dodge the ques tion. The wire fence around Moore square was not put there for people to lean or sit upon, and the sooner they are made to realize this fact, the better. A person who so far forgets what is due to propriety as to injure property in this way, ought to be made to pay the penalty, and, they will, too, if Mayor Badger or Chief of Police Heartt gets wind of it. Messrs. M. H. Brown and James Leary who were hurt in the scuffle with the negro prisoner, Willoughby, are getting on very well considering. It is hoped that they will be all right again. In the meantime the scoun drel who committed the assault should be placed in the closest con finement, and, if necessary he should be put in irons Such desperadoes should not be allowed a chance to commit harm. An auditorium can be built with out costing the people of Raleigh a solitary cent. The bonds, if issued would sell faster than hot cakes, and they would be at par or very nearly bo. The rent of the hall would more than pay the interest and a sinking fund could be laid by to redeem the principal long before maturity. This is not merely a paper calculation It is solid fact, and if any flret class financier will examine the matter, he will find it so. It can be done, too, without Legislative sanction. Don't forget to be on hand tomor row morning. The excursion to Rich mond leaveB the Union Depot. Splen did band of music &c I. R. Branharo, editor Christian In dex, Atlanta, (ia., writes: "I have used Bradvcrotine with unfailing, prompt, decided relief." Aug. 11 6t We suppose the Supreme Court will take up the test case of the mer chants purchase tax, early in the coming term. This is, at least, the generai Impression. Poles are now being put up on the western extension of the electric rail way. Everything will soon be all right and in working order. The time for mad dogs is at hand, but we hear of none so far, in this vi cinity. Don't fool with dogs gener ally, they may be out of fix, and then there is "danger ahead." The scorching season continues. But for the relief in the shape of cool nights and mornings, it would be al most unbearable. There is always a temper to the ills of life, if we do but realize it. In our issue of yesterday we stated that old bonds to the amount of $15 003 had been exchanged at the Treas ury for new 6 per cent, bonds. It should have read "new 4 per cent, consols" the new bonds bear 4 per cent, interest. Mr. Wm. M. TJtley is engaged in making out a statement of agricult ural statistics as returned with the tax lists. Mr. Utley will no doubt, get up the matter as nearly as it can pos sibly be obtained. Don't forget the meeting of the County Commissioners tomorrow. It is another chance to look after the matter of assessments of real estate, and it may be the last. Look after it. There are numbers of houses in the city that could be easily converted in to temporary boarding houses. Ener getic persons can no doubt make fair returns in such cases. In the absence of another large hotel, the outlook is that such business will pay hand somely during the exposition. Let any person who has any curios ity or any thing else they d'sire to have exhibited at the approaching Exposition, send it to the Drug Store of Mr John Y. MaeRae. Wakecounty should not be behind in this matter. Ours is the metropolitan county and we should spread ourselves to make it foremost in the great show. Attention is called tojthe advertise ment of the New York Bargain House, to be opened on Saturday next which appears in this issue. Mr. Levy, the gentlemanly business Manager and Mr. M. D. Edwards, who will assist him in serving the p ublic, are as busy as bees arranging their very attractive new store. The Moseley House. We are glad to state that the old Central Hotel, on the corner of Wil mington and Hargett streets, has been refitted, painted up and made to look nice and new, by Mr. N. S. Mose ley, who has opened it up a real nice hotel under the name of the Moseley House. We wish Mr. Moseley abun dant success. He is a good hotelist. Returned. Col. P. A Olds returned to the city yesterday afternoon from Wrights ville, where he has been in constant at tendance during the past month or so discharging his duties as Quarter Master General of the State Guard. He was during the veteran's encamp ment acting as Commissary General, by appointment of Gen. Robert Ran som. He has had a most laborious time of it, but with his characteristic energy, kept things moving all right. T he Colonel was especially delayed at the encampment for a week after it broke owing to the heavy rains, looking after the return of the tents and other property. He is looking remarkably well considering the hard work he has undergone. Our Boy Abroad. Mr. C. G. Stone toJay received letter from our plucky bicyclist, Will Wynne, dated at Washington City, Aug. 9th, where he was resting over Sunday; that is he was enjoying him self as he never did before. He rode almost all over the National Capital, on the finest cycling streets in the world after having worked so hard over rough highways, mud and rain, enjoying the fruits of toil. He wrote that he would leave for Baltimore on yesterday morning, and arrive in Philadelphia tonight and New York on tomorrow, (Wednesday) night. He expects to go to Boston, and proba bly to Canada. In closing he says he feel 1 like cir. cling the world." He said there might be good riders in Washington City, but he had not met his man yet. He wants the great "Three C" Club to spend a week in Washington at some future date. New Design. In our rounds this morning we peeped in as usual, at the establish ment of Messrs. Jones & Powell, on Fayetteville street. We noticed in the window a curious article which rather surprised us at first, as we took a no tion that a black hen had laid some black eggs in the window. We were soon told, however, that our unnat ural surmises were not correct, but that, what had so impressed us, was nothing more or less than specimens of new fashioned fuel called 'Eggette' coal. This fuel is a manufactured ar tide of French origin, and is made from the accumulated dust of Gayton coal. It is fuel of the best kind, and burns elegantly. In fact it is destined to become the best fuel for the price now in use. Messrs. Jones & Powell will handle this coal extensively, and the price is, at retail, only $6 per ton. We advise our people to call and look at it. We are sure they will be more than pleased w:t'i an experimental trial. ' Remember that W. B Mai.n v Oo., keep Arbuckle's ejffee all the line, and job it at factory prices, by case. ExenrtioiiiNtx Take Potior. Tickets for the excursion to Rich mond on the 12th can be had of Mr. James Boylan, of the firm of W. H. A; R 8. Tucker & Co., and at J. R. Fer rail Co's, also or L. N. White and of the Committee. Met your tickets early and avoid the rush. This is the last excursion of the season. Special cars for ladies, whose comfort will be carefully looked after. Dou't forget that a magnificent band of m tilde will be on the train. Oh, That Special Sale.

S.TOCKERgCO HOUSB FURNISHES Carpets, Curtains, Table Damasks, Napkins. Towels. Sheetings. $c. Every one who has any prepara tions whatever to make in the line of house furnishings, Bhould take advan tage of the opportunity we now offer, to supply themselves, and not put off the purchase of these goods until the last weeks before the Exnosit inn. Nothing can be gained by putting off buying carpets, curtains, table damasks, napkins, towels, sheetings, pillow cotton, &c, as many of these goods are now offered at prices lower than under the old tariff, and if bought now money can be saved, and the trouble and inconvenience will be over before the rush of the Exposi tion begins. BLANKETS. There are a good many of our blank ets carried over from last season, which we wish to clear out, beforo the new fall stock arrives. Some of these are solid, but the prices one can buy thein for, will fully recompense them for taking an article slightly shop worn. . H. ft R S. Tucker ft Cf.
