NEWS MOTES ABOUT THE CITV, What Our Reporters See and Hear Worth Giving to Our Readers News In Brief. We make our bow again. There never was a more quiet Christmas. - The enchanted barrel at Metropol itan hall this evening for the benefit of St. John'6 Hospital. No accident in this immediate vi cinity has marred the Christmas fes tivities. See notice of Mr. W. H. Pace, ad minstrator of Solomon Pac , de ceased. The King's Daughters Bazar in aid of aged women has netted, thus far, over $100. Mr. Frank Btronach has got the better of the grippe, but he says it is a bad customer. The street cars have again resumed their schedules. It in hoped that they have come to stay. The "Social Session" accompanied by the Black Hussar Band, will be here about the 13th of January. It will be a daisy performance. We are glad to learn that the force of hands lecently relieved at the R. & Gh Depot here, will soon be re-instated. Depositors in the Raleigh Savings Bank are requested to bring in their books in order that they may be writ ten up and interest placed thereou. Some one left a photograph of him self on the front show case at tb store of Messrs. Berwanger Bros Tin owner can get it by calling tor it. The grippe has its firm hold on our community There is little or no abatement. In some casts entire families are down with it. It seems to respect no age, color or conditicn of life. It has been decided to locale the Baptist Female College on the prop erty known as the ' Pullen Adams"' property selected over a year ago. Payment on the property has been completed. Manager Egerton of the Western Union Telegraph office in this city, is authority lor the statement that there will be no increase in charges. On the contrary there will be a reduc tion. We are authorized to say, that the pantomine to be performed at Metro politan Hall to night for the benefit of St. John's Hospital, will not be in the conventional sign language. It will be of special interest to the chil dren and grown folks too. The post office clerks have had a hard time of it during the past week, as have also the letter carriers. The mails have been unusually heavy, but the force in each and every par ticular have done their duty. And, right here, we want to say, as an act. of simple justice, that no community in this country has more gentlemanly and obliging post office officials than Raleigh. From the highest to the lowest grade in the office, they all teem to be imbued with a spirit of ac commodation, and leave nothing un turned to serve the public. This is nothing more than a deserved tribute, and they should cheerfully be ac corded it. The days are now on the up grade The howl of the politician will be soou heard loud in the land. When the grippe leave us we will all be comparatively happy again. The Enchanted Barrel tonight at Metropolitan Hall. The D. Q. I's made a spasmodic parade on Christmas day. They were highly enjoyed, however. There are all sorts of wild cat rail road deals in circulation today. More of it hereafter. The formal decision in the mer chants' purchase tax cases will not be filed until February. One year ago the round house at the R. St G. Depot was destroyed by fire. A large addition of students is ex pected at the Agricultural and Me chanical College the coming session. It will take at least a week to get things to work in running shape for business again. It is always so after Christmas. A colored man named Robt. Ran wold was fouud dead at Henderson yesterday afternoon. Foul play bus pected. Remember the "gitt sociable" at the Baptist Tabernacle tonight, for the benefit of the poor. Be on hand wit,h vour contributions. 'An revoir" to the Cuban party. May they have a pleasant trip to the "ever faithful Isle," and all return safe and sound to the "Old North State." The collection for St. John's Hos pital at Christ Church, on Christmas day, was $49 15. At the Church of the Good Shepherd the Christmas of fering collection was $293. The Richmond and Danville Rail road System amply reimbursed the EmmaJuch Opera Company for the loss and damage sustained by them in their late accident. This is all right. In answer to the question of Mr. A. Dughi as to the laziest bird, Miss Bessie May Smith guessed the "Cuckoo." Miss Bessie lives in Win ston, and Mr. Dughi has sent her the prize, which consisted of a pretty canary nd cage. Now that the Christmas holidays are over, wou'd it not be well for our city fathers to look after the matter of a centennial celebration for Ral eigh next spring? We should by all mems pat the ball in motion. It won't do to let politics engage all of our attention in 1892 This afternoon at 6.'-0 o'clock the first section of the Cuban party of teachers will leave Raleigh via At lanta and Jacksonville. They will arrive at Havana on Saturday morn ing at sunrise and remain until Mon day, January 11th returning to Ral eigh on January 15th. At the Church of the Good Shep herd last Sunday evening R. H. Bat tle, Esq, presented the organist, Prof. A. Pauli. with a purse. At the Baptist Tabtrnacle Sunday school the class taught by Mr. J. M. Brough-( ton presented him with a very hand some lamp, and Mr. T. J Bashford's class presented him with a teacher's bible. Mr N B Broughton was re elected superintendent of the school and the other officers were also reelected. Accident. On Sunday night, a well-known colored man, n imed Jack Norwood, was killed by a train on the R. & G. Railroad about 8 miles north of thii city. An inquest was held, at which it was developed that Norwood had fallen asleep on the track, while wait ing for some of his family. No blame is attached to the railroad. 8PECIAL VOTICKS. Hardware, &c. Not Accepted. It Is a source of much gratification to know that the congregation of the First Pretbyterian Church have de clined to accept the resignation of Rev. Dr. Jno. 8. Watkins. It appears that an arrangement has been made to secure an assistant who will have charge of the Blount Street Church. which will be a great relief to Dr. Watkins. Under these circumstances, it is hoped, that he will agree to remain. Election of Officers.
