Hill Lodge No. 218, will meet in regular session tonight at 8:15. Visiting members invited. Alderman Parker gives a glowing account of bis trip to tbe "old coun try." Sneak thieves are playing tbeir vo cations on the suburbs. A little cold lead might be of service. There is a continued dearth of news in all the departments at the capltol. A large crowd of colored excursion ists went down to Louisburg this morning. A called meeting of Ruth Lodge will be held tonight at 8 o'clock. Punctual attendance is desired. The merry laughter of the school girlB will soon be heard in our city. We will then begin to cast off the dullness of midsummer. The warrants for direct taxes drawn up to this afternoon amount to about $130,000. This is pulling down the fund at quite a rapid rate. The grape season is about over, and we are sorry to say it haB been far from remunerative to our growers. Better luck next time. The receipts of cotlu in this city for the season up to the 22nd inst. were 40,100 bales, against 21,705 for the same time last year. Frost reported in North Dakotah, and the knowing ones say we are to have a decided cool spell in this se c tion. The Barlow Biob., are the next ex citement in show circles. They will make their appearance here on the lltb, of September. State Librarian Birdsong has about finished the catalogue of the library, and it will be the most complete ever gotten up. There are on hand about 40,000 volumes. The rails for the track of the fac tory branch of the N. C. Railroad to the Caraleigh Mills will be here during this week The entire work will be-finished in a lew weeks. Chief Engelhard of the fire depart ment will go up to Durham tomorro morning to attend the meeting of tin association. The Rescue fire engine will be taken up Wedneeday morn ing. The great excitement of the week is the firemens tournament at Durham The State Association will meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow and there will be a grand parade of all the departments on Wednesday. The reel races will take place on Thursday. A gentleman from Wilmington has rented the stables of Mr. James M. Harris on east Martin street. They will be well stocked by the time the Exposition opens. Under all circumstances, under all conditions,urjnerall influences,Brady crotine will promptly cure all head aches, aug. 18 6t The decorators and painters at the E position grounds are putting in some excellent work, and the buil dings will be in a most creditable condition by the time the Exposition opens. The Fireside Club will give an en tertainment tomorrow night at the residence of Mrs. CM. Little, corner north Dawson and Jones streets. Af ter the concert is over refreshments will be served. Proceeds go to Sol diers' Home. We are pleased to note that the con tract for painting the market house building has been awarded to our tel low citizens Messrs. S. M. Parrish & Son. We have as good native talent in all the trades and professions as are to be found, anywhere, and all things being equal, we are in favor of giving them the prefereuce every time. ... . 1 Several of our leading merchants will start North next Monday. A negro man was killed near Win der, on the R & A. Air Line road, this morning about two o'clock, by being run over. His head was severed from his body. Most of our inerchHutq with whom we have talked, speak of buying mod erately this season in view of the an ticipated short crops. This is cau tion, at all events. Mr. T. H. HugheB, of the Western Union office, is on a visit to relatives in West Virginia. Mr. W. C. Rich ardBon is acting for him as one of the day operators. Orders for four new locomotives have been placed by the Seaboard Air Line with the Richmond locomo tive works. This is as it should be Let us encourage southern industries all we can. We modestly suggest, to Mr. Pat rick the absolute necessity of one or more good bands during the exposi tion. Music is the life of such oc caslons provided it be good music If the fronts of all the business houses on Fayetteville and other streets were painted it would add much to the appearance of the city during the exposition. By holding the cotton crop of last season the south has lost more than a score of millions of money. When ever farmers attempt to play specula tors they get left. The proper time for a farmer, or a producer of any kind generally to sell his productions is just as soon as it is ready for market. The grade just this side of the ex position grounds, on the Hillsbpro road is still being cut down. We un derstood, however, that it is in con templation to turn the electric rail way to the right at Temples old store, and enter the grounds at the east gate. This is at all events the cur rent rumor. Gov. Holt is emphatic in his declar ation relative to the direct tax money, and, it can now be regar ded as certain that none of it will be left lor the Chicago exposition. The Governor, however, seems disposed to help out to a reasonable extent from his individual means, and sure ly he should be seconded by a suffi cient number of the private citizens of the State to make up the desired amount. Maj. Roberts, the square and capitol, Superintendent of is having a coat of cinders put down on the walk around the statue of Washington. Over this will be placed a coating of gravel which will be rolled. This will make it as hard almost as regular pavement. Maj. Roberts takes a great pride in keeping things fixed up, and is evidently the right man in the right place. We renew our motion to have Sir Walter Raleigh placed in Nash square, so that it will be the first impression on strangers who visit the city com-, ing in at the Union Depot. We may not be able to get an exact likeness of the great courtier, but then, we can come as near it as the many statues of Washington all of which differ. Let us have it. It will look pretty, and be a historical reminder of the "City of Oaks." Mayor's Levee. The ucual large crowd was present today at the Mayor's Monday morn ing's levee. They consisted of both sexes, all ages, this side of a hundred, and various colors and occupations. Drunks on tbe streets, drunks and down, minor difficulties, &c , made up the docket. The case of the State vs Mary Mc Leod, ora Fisher, lola Hicks and Martha Hatchings, for keeping a dis orderly house on South Salisbury street, was taken up. Mr. Thos. P. Devereux appeared for the defend ants. Mr. A. Dughi testified that the house had the reputation of being a disorderly house, and that women and men had been seen going in and out. He also heard disturbances there; was asked not to report tbe house, as they promised to do better. The house was about 15 feet from his house. The general character has been bad ever since he had been there. Four or five weeks since he saw man and woman engaged in sort of a scuffle at the doqr; heard cursing there. Saw a drunken man there; he made no noise; never had a quarrel with any of the women about wash ing. Mr. Upohurch, of the firm of Lan caster & Upohurch, testilied that he had never heard any fuss at the house, but had seen people going in and out. The house had a bad repu tation. Watchman at stable near by tosti- tiea that he had seen persons going in and out, but no noise or fuss. The house had a bad reputation. Mary McLeod testified that the other women named in the warrant did not live with her. Officer Strick land came one night and told us not to make a noise but he did not arrest any one. She rented the house and took in' washing. The women came to my house when the excursion went off to Norfolk. No men came there to see them. No disorderly conduct. I was told Mr. Dughi would have me up. Was willing to let policemen come any time of night to see if there were any women there. The parties were required to pay costs. Several other trivial cases were dis posed of. Tbe Musical Festival. Arrangements for the grand musical festival in Raleigh are approaching completion. Those ladies and gen tlemen of Raleigh who are to take part, are requested to meet to night at 8:30 o'clock at Mr. R. H. Battle's for rehearsal. Lost. An English memorandum book with "Turner & Co., Mile End, England," on the inside. It bad a ten dollar bill in it Tbe finder will be suitably rewarded by leaving the same at the Visitor office. Street Beggars. We have been reqnested to again call attention to the fact that there are several persistent street beggars in our city who take their stands at some of the principal corners and im portune those passing by for alms. It is contended by some that this ought not to be allowed, and others go so far as to denounce it as a nuisance which should be abated. Of course all charitably disposed persons must sympathize with those who are so re duced as to impel them to ask alms on the public thoroughfares, but then on the other hand, it should be re membered that we have a public charity in the shape of an alms house set apart for such unfortunates, and to this they should bo pent, Thio in stitution is supplied by the people and in (his way, the burden of keep ing such persons would be equal up on all. It is not a very creditable sight for strangers who visit our city, to be stopped on the slrset corners by men dicants. It does not give Ihem such an impr ssion of us as might b . de sired. We do not know where the remedy is lodged. We were told some time since, when we alluded to tbe mutter, that there was no ordernance by which the city authorities could take cognizance of the matter, and that it was the duty of the county commis sioners to act in the premises. We think something ought to be done if possible to remedy what is considered a public evil. Vv anted. A live canvasser in this vicinity for the Peter Francis Alarm Lock.
