VOL RALEIG-"BL, FEIDAT, SEPTEMBER 18,1891: WO.126 NEWS NOTES ABOUT THE CITY. What Our Reporters See and Hear Worth Giving to Our Keaders News in Brief. , Splendid weather for the opening cotton. Five more convicts arrived at the penitentary yesterday. Another dynamo has been pat in the power plant of the electric car line. County exhibits fast coming n and being put in place at the exposition grounds. St. Augustine (colored) normal school will open on the 1st of Octo ber. Not the least of the .attractions at the exposition will be the "big In juns" from Cherokee. "Ougb." The net earnings of the peniten tiary for the last quarter are $11, 018.50. Good for the management. "Will Wynne and his famous bi cycle will be on hand at the races in Greensboro on the 30th inst. The ceiling of the Mayor's office is being plastercoed, (so called) light blue. A very slim docket ia the Mayor's court today. Only an unfortunate or the stool of repentance. A large quantity of old cotton came in today. Wilmington street, in the vicinity of the Cotton Exchange, looked lively. Wm. Sprague Smith, Providence, R. I., writes: "I tind Bradycrotine always cures headache." SeptlO 6t See notice of important sale by Armistead Jones, Esq., adminis'ra tor, &c. Geo. Tonnt fli-ki ays the soap in dustry is expected to be a booming success. The additional story of the rear of the establishment of Messrs. W. H. & R. S. Tucker & Co. is fast going up. Attention is directed to the sale of real estate of Mr. Van B. Moore, Guardian, &c. Our esteemr d friend, Mr. A. W. Fraps, is nicely fixing up a new store on the corner of West Mutin an. South Harrington streets. It has been suggested that a con ; of white wash on the trees in capitoi square would help the appearance ot things generally. , As the fall approaches the matri monial market is looming up. Sev eral couples are expected to take each other for "better or worse" be fore the Christmas holidays. The front of the market house is being painted today. The inside of the market, under the magic touch tvio white wash bruBh looks neat. vr - The transformation is wonderful. Call at the store of Messrs. Alfred W illiams & Co. and secure tickets for thA irreat musical festival. The rush can, in this way, be avoided. Admis sion $1. Season tickets $1.50. The Mayor and Chief of Police were ousted from their office this morning on account of rep irs going on. They occupy temporarily one of the ante rnnins set tnart for Collector Root and City Clerk Lambeth. If the town continues to keep a auiet as for the past few days, we might ab well give Mayor Badger and nvwaf Heartt a furlough for a week an. Perhaos they would like to see the Goldsboro races. In answer to several enquiritson the subject, we state that the ordi nance regulating charges for the street railway in the corporate limits Is five cents a trip; outside of the cor oorate limits there is no regulation of coarse, but it is hoped that the company will see it no less to their advantage than to the public, to charge five cents to the exposition nnnHa Tn our opinion tne cars luuu- m would make equally as much, and certainly it would prove beneficial to the people. Quiet reigned at tha capitoi today. Nothing of interest going on. We hope to be able -non to give our readers some full information of the proposed wine manufactory to be started in the south-western suburbs. Secretary W. H. Dodd, of the N. 0. Wagon Factory, reports the plant in a flourishing condition, with all the work, present and prospective, It can do. Mr. Julian 8. Carr, of D irhain, is making prepara' ions for the grandest tobacco exhibit at the exposition ever seen in the Uuited States. As usual, he will succeed. We are anxiously awaiting the den cision of the railroads for fare daring the exposition. Hope it will not be over one cent per mile. It should not be. We hope that after everything has been fixed up, the street car company may find it to their advantage not to have transfers at so short distances. A line from the Union Depot to the fair grounds, aud one from the same point to the end of the Blount street line, might be made uninterrupted. A Needed Improvement. It has been suggested that railings be put on each side of the steps lead ing up into Metropolitan Hall. It would prove of great advantage to persons going into and making their exit from the ha'l at night, especially to ladies and elderly gentlemen. It .vould co6t but little. We hope that it make be done. Jurors.

K H. w ATE COOLERS, Galvanized find Porcelain Linea Grand Opening Display. The fashion and beauty of Raleigh have been out yesterday and today, the great occasion being the big open ing at Swindell's mammoth establish ment. It had been heralded for days previous and when yesterday morn- ng the doors were opened, the eyes were feasted witn suon a display as has rarely been seen in the capital Of the "Old North State." The entrance to the store was literally strung with such gorgeous and rich designs that it could well be claimed that the be holder was in the midst of "fairy land " Rich rugs of splendid design and most magnificent in their ap pearance made up the so called dry goods ' menu." Various skins of most ol the animals, including the bear; buffalo, wolf, polar bear, goat and others, stood out in bold relief, a tempting bait to all lovers of what is pretty and tasty. The most elegant and gorgeous displays were hung in the windows, such as portierres, Turkomans, raw silk draperies, dam ask and all kinds of lace curtains, English, German and French dress goods, beautiful in design and most novel in appearance stood out in bold relief on every side. Jewelry, too, of which Swindell, has a most superb supply, waB not the least of the great attractions. The silk robes are splen did. Among them faill francaise, armoore, gross gram sura us ana ius treless china. Persian robes form a foremost feature, and they are cer tainly grand. But the millinery department un der skilful charge of Mrs. S. C White, surpasses anything ever seen here. Headware of every conceivable de sign suited to tne fashions ot tne times is here, shown in great pro fusion. Our columns will not allow us to particularize but Mrs. White has in her department enticements enough for any matron or maiden in North Carolina, so far as the millinery adornment is concerned. Swindell may well be proud of his big show. J o description of it on paper will meet the case. The stock must be seen to be appreciated. Visit the show. It is a grand one. Let no lady neglect seeing such a sight her eyes may not meet with in a life time again. We must not forget to call the spe cial attention of the ladies to the car net department. Such brands as the moquette, Axminitter, velvet, &c, have never been equalled in this State, and certainly the price is such as none can complain of. Accommodations. We had quite an interests g inter view, this morning, with Mr. A. L. Ferrell relative to the accommodation of visitors to the Inter-State Expo sition. Mr. Ferrell says it will not be convenient for him to make an ex tended, active canvass longer than the present week, and he earnestly desires that all persons who can ac commodat e boarders, should send in their names as soon as possible, either to Maj. Heartt or himself. It should be stated how many boarders can be taken, the number of street, ti.rins &c. He says that his canvass has far exceeded his expectations, and that nearly all he has seen have evinced a disposition to be as accommodating as they can. Many who have never heretofore taken boarders will do so now. In a word, all who visit Raleigh Will be amply taken care of. This may be considered certain. We hope there may be no tardiness in the mat ter of giving in names. The time is getting short, and the sooner parties desiring boarders shall make it known, the better for all concerned.
