Woollcott & Sod are paint ing and brush bag up for the Ei posi tion. Tieasurer Bain informs us that the different railroads are Bending in their taxes pretty regularly. New stocks are being daily received by our merchants, and the sound of the hammer will soon be loud. Charley Lambeth the efficient city clerk is still busily engaged on the tax list. It is a hug job, involving much painstaking, time and labor. Agents in the interest of the Inter State Exposition are visiting the principal pointe in the south ma liciting exhibits &c. The work is be ing vigrously pushed in every posv sible manner. Farmeis say that the rainy s";! sou will shorten the already short cotton crop. They fear, too, that much damage has been done to lowland corn, for the downpour has been such as to cause freshets in all the streams. The electric railroad folks are not to be outdone. Although the roof of the power house is a little behind time, it has been remedied by a tern porary canvass covering so that there will be no further delay in starting the cars. The large rock blocks for the vault of the Farmers' and Commercial Bank are being placed in position When completed it will be one of the best and safest depositories in the State. It will be absolutely burglar proof The gong in the post office is a good idea. When the time for closing mails comes it is struck so all may know it is too late to mail letters in certain directions. Distributing Clerk Ellis says it saves him much trouble. A young girl of fourteen has died at Dusseldorf from excessive joy. She had been promised one of the most delightful of Rhine excursions, and the prospect tilled her with such overpowering joy as to produce a strain upon the hearts action, and she fell to the floor and died. Much credit is due to Capt. C. H j Denson. secretary of the State Board of Charities, for the energy he is dis playing in organizing local boards throughout the State. He has suc ceeded in effecting such organizations in sixty counties of the State, which will lead to good results in the mat ter of looking after the prisons and county charities. Dr. T. J. Williamson, Eustis, Fla., says: The bottle of Bradycrotine you sent me was given three ladies who were suffering from headache. They said the effect was instantaneous and very satisfactory. aug25 6t Yesterday afternoon do v. Holt par doned two persons from the peniten tiary whose terms were ten and twelve years. One was Wm. Staton, who was convicted of assault in Union county, for twelve years. He has served out nine years. The other was Lawrence Oxendine, sentenced in July, 1891, for ten years, from Rob eson county, for manslaughter. In view of the fact that extensive repairs are going on at the Baptist Tabernacle La this city where it was proposed to hold the next Baptist State Convention, it has been decided to change the place of meeting to Goldsboro. Next year will be the celebration of the Foreign Mission Board of North Carolina, and the session will be held in this city. Considerable excitement is mani tested in political circles here today, over the telegraphic announcement that Col. Polk, yesterday, in an ad dress at Chatlotte, strongly advocated the third party movement. The Visitor is not expected to comment. We are out of the muddle, but we confess we see no good reason for a third party. Reports of the heavy rainfall are coming in trom all quarters. We can take a nice ride next Sat urday. The knowing ones say bo, and they ought to know. The cool wave slipped around us and went down ts ' tli west of the Al leghanies. The front of Mr. H. H. Crocker's store on EaBt Hargett street is being painted and other improvements added. Don't forg-.t the meeting tonight in the Interest of the B .ptist Female University. At last accounts there was no im provement in the condition of ex Governor Scales. He is considered hopelessly ill. Manager Brown who receiyed a slight injury to one of his legs re cently, while on a visit to Durham, is much improved, and will soon be all right again. Several washouts have taken place on the Raleigh and Augusta Air Line Railroad, but Superintendent Smith is on the alert, and no serious stop page of freight or passenger trafic has taken place. Try It. An exchange says: "The coffee cup is a capital barometer. After the sugar has been put in, if the bubbles collect in the middle of the cup the weather will be fair; if they leave the center and adhear to the sides of the cup, forming a ring of bubbles with a clear space in the middle, there will be rain; if they scatter themselves indifferently on the surface the weather will be variable, while a clus ter of bubbles at one side of the cup indicates rain.'' Baptist Tabernacle. The work on this church has been suspended by the rains, as in the case of most buildings iu the city. The improvements being made will inv crease its seating capacity equal to any church in the city, it is said, and greatly improve ;it otherwise. Dr. Hall the progressive and energetic pastor, and the membership of the church deserve much credit for enter prise iud devotion they have evinced. Brushing Up. Fixing up for the Exposition seems io be iu order all around. The Mc Kimiuon Drug Store on Fayetteville street, the Fifth Ward Drug Store, corner of Hillsboro and Salisbury sts, the New York Bargain House on Fay etteville street and others are having their fronts painted and a general brushing up. AWFUL. Mayor's Court. A warrant was sworn out against Lewis Hinton, colored, and he was required to give bond to keep the peace. Stokes Crump was drunk in the market and used abusive language. Fi ned $5 and cost. Raleigh Male Academy. On Monday next this most admir able school will open for the fall ses sion, and we are pleased to note that the prospects for an increased attend ance are most excellent. There is no institution of the kind in the South that presents better advantages for boys as has been evidenced by the number who have been prepared for collegiate courses. Especial pains are taken to prepare youths for the business duties of life. Messrs. Mor son & Denson are well and favorably known far and wide. Bargain.

A terrible railroad wreck occurred at Boston's Bridge, on the Western North Carolina Railroad, this morn ing. This bridge is 80 feet high and is two miles of Statesville. Many lives are reported lost. Among the passengers were State Auditor San derlin and Mr. Benehan Cameron. We are indebted to our contempo rary, the News and Observer, for the following dispatch: Statesville, Aug. 27. I am deeply grateful that my life is saved without injury from the terri -ble wreck at Boston's Bridge, 80 feet high, two miles east of here. Among the saved were State Audi tor Sanderlin and others, but many are killed. I came here from the wreck for clothes, shoes and things. Thirty six dead bodies have already been recovered from the wreck. Benehan Cameron, later. We are indebted to our contempo rary, the State Chronicle, for the fol lowing additional particulars: Statesvillb, Aug. 27. The train on the WeBtern road went in Third Creek this morning two mi les from here, through a trestle 80 feet high. A misplaced rail was the cause. Thirty five have been taken out dead. Contents of train lost. LATEST. Salisbury, Aug. 2711:45 a. m. The west bound passenger train went off the track at Boston's viaduct, two miles beyond Statesville, this morning about 3 o'clock, with horri ble results. About 85 passengers were on board and few have been taken out alive. The entire train went down 80 feet. Many of the Asheville fire men, returning from Durham were killed. One jady, Mrs. Pool, was killed. The details are difficult to ob tain, but enough has been learned to show that no such horrible wreck has ever occurred in the State. It is thought that designing parties mis placed the rails and caused the wreck. Statesville, Aug. 2712:20 p. m. The killed brought in are: Perry Barnett and Chas. Baruett, of Hendersonvilie.
