We are promised fair weather for a few days longer, at lca.8t. Don't fail to attend the soiree at Peace Institute tomorrow night. It will be an enjoyable entertaiument. The reduction in the cotton acre age seems to be a settled fact nou , in this section. The Ray L. Royce company which has been detained here for some days have left for Columbia, 8. C. The executive committee of the Agricultural and Mechanical College have arranged for two more dormilo ries. Ihe digrst which was in course of preparation by Judge Wouiack, for son-e time past, will be ready for dis tribution next week. A meeting of the Ladies' Relief Society will take place in tbe Chapel of Christ church tomorrow morning after service. A 'W wi'l be given by Mr and Mrs. Themes 8- Kenan at their resi d n :e tomorrow eveniog from 7 to 10 o'clock Judging from the small number of prisoners now in our county j til, the docket of the criminal term of the 8uprior Court in March, will be light. The c mmercial travelers who have passed thsough Raleigh, so far this season, generally report that orders are unusually short for spring and summer goods. The matter of an auditorium is be ginning to be one of interest. We hear of several proposition, none of which are advanced far enough to assume-definite shape. The Governor has appointed Hon. Geo A.8i.uforrt Judge of the Superior Court tc fill tne vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Judge Merri mon. The friends and acquaintances o! the late Prof. Kerr should call a Randall's portrait gallery and see tin picture of our former tate geologist It is beautiful and life like. A large audience listened with great interest to the lecture delivered last night, at the Baptist Tabernacle by Rev Dr. J J Hall on the life, &c, of tbe late Rev. Mr. Spurgeon. It Was a IJUM I CI I J pruuuimvu. A white man named Messer from the country wa up before the mayor this morning for being drunk an. i down on the streets It being the first offence for several years he was discharged with a warning. Edward Tillett, sheriff of Currituck county, settled with the State Trees uref this morning paying 3,013.H. E. M. Johnston, sheriff of Pender county, settled yesterday afternoon, paying $3,678.90. Rev. J. W. Lee, tbe Irish evangel 1st, will preach at the Payetteville street or Third Baptist ehurchfto night. He has been conducting a very interesting and successful series of meetings at Clayton. The matter involving the right of the State to tax the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad and its branches, is engaging the attention of the 8u preme Ooort. Much interest is man ifected in the decision. Our present station house can well be called a death trap." The city authorities should remove it at the earliest opportunity. It is not only an unhealthy, but a most miserably arranged place, and not at all in keep iag with a city of tbe size of Raleigh We contend that a person incarcera ted In this place, is liable to contract disease, for which he would have just cause of a suit lor damages. The matter has long been complained of, and the Board of Aldermen should lose no farther time in making a hang. The fmit trees In wme localities in this vicinity are beginning to bud. The different departments of the State government were closed today between tbe hours of 11 and 3 o'clock in coo.! quoueeof the funeral services of the 1.'e x Governor Scales at Greensboro. t Capt. C. B Denton informs ub that the R leigh male academy Is in a most flourishing condition. Thenum berofpupiis is larger than ever be fore, and steadily increasing. It is destined to rank among the best academic institutions of learning in the Southern States. A special train will be run over the Rsleigh and Gaston Railroad to Wake Forest tomorrow evening, leaving here at 6 p m , returning at 1 a. m. It is for the accommodation of those who desire to attend the anniversary of the literary societies of Wake For est College. The train known the "Shoo I ly," which JeaVeB here over the Raleigh iud Gaston Railroad at 5 p. m , now makes close connection with the At lantic Coast Line at Weldon, landing passengers in Richmond at .80 a. m It, would be the correct idea for the street car company to extend its lines to Pullen Park, before the spring sets in. It looks like folly to have a most beautiful park on our suburbs with do public mode of quick transit to reach it. We must think, that in the summer months, it would be bene ficial alike to rhe company and the public. "Kin you tell me the way to the Baptist Tabernacle?" asked a man of a citizen last n'ght. He was told. "They say," continued the man, "thar'e gwine to be a lecture on stur geon down lhar tonight and I want to hear it." "Sturgeorl" exclaimed the citizen.laughing. "It's Spurgeon, the great English preacher who died the other day." "Well, gol dinr them fellers at Lee's stables; they told me it was sturgeon." And he hit the grit back to the stables. He was a fisherman from Eastern Caro Una. I. O O. P. Attention members of Seaton Gales Lodge Your lodge meets to night at 7:0 o'clock sharp, and your presence is indispensable. It will be an important and interesting meet ing and you will enjoy It. Members of Mauteo Lodge and visiting breth ren are cordially invited. Li Trouble. Gen. Milton 8. Littlefleld, who ie well remembered by our people as a consideiable figure head, during the days of re construction in North Car olina, it seems has come to grief. It appears tb'.t he was indicted in tbe court of gei ral sessions of New York in October 5890, for larceny. He gave bail, which was furnished by a wo man, named Henrietta Taleott for $7, 600. On Tuesday last, the case was called for trial, but the General was not forthcoming, having skipped bail. The charge is that Littlefleld in con junction with a Dr. Fleming defraud ed Mrs. Stephaui, the mother of the murderer of ex Judge Clinton G. Rey nolds, now in Sing Sing serving a life sentence, of $5,100. Littlefleld was introduced to Mrs. Stephani by a Mrs. Fos'er, at an uptown ho'el. He told Mrs. St phani that be could have a lunacy commission appointed to declare her son insane and have him sent to an asylum, instead of be ing tried for murder. He introduced Dr. Fleming, and the doctor agreed, she aid, if she would pay the ex penses to have the commission ap pointed. She paid them various sums, amounting in all to $5,100. The com mission was appointed. It consisted of Gilbert M Speir, the lawyer, an9 Drs. Fleming and Clymer. They re ported that Stephani was insane, but before the report was handed in Judge Martine learned of the pay ment of money and Bet the report aside. The arrests followed. Lemon Tea. Tbe ladies of Edenton Street M. E. Church will give a lemon tea this evening in the private parlors of the Deaf and Dumb and BUud Institu tion. There will be recitation, vocal and instrumental music, &c. Admis sion free. We hope there will be a large attendance. Board of Aldermen. There was a special meeting of tbe board last night, called for the pur pose of receiving and discussing a communication from the secretary of the Board of Underwriters protesting against the action of the aldermen in allowing the repairing with wooden material of the frame structure, cor ner of Wilmington and Exchange Place, recently serioush damaged by fire. After a full bearing of the mat ter, the board agreed to staud by their action in the premises. Personal Mention. Gov. Holt will attend the funeral of ExGov. Scales at Greensboro. Mrs. Dr. T. D. Martin, who has been ill with pneumonia, is much better. Col. 8 H. Bo d, of Reidsville, was united in marriage yesterday evening at Greensboro, to Miss Lizzie, daugh ter of the late Hon. Thos. Settle. Mr. Bedriingfield was chosen yester day afternoon as a delegate of the Alliances in this Congressional dis trict to the Convention of farmers and labor unions in St. Louis. Mr Patrick H. Winston, formerly of North Carolina, bat now District Attorney of the State of Washington, was in the city yesterday afternoon. He is looking remarkably well. Oh, We, Me, My ! I Feel so Bad this Morning. On the morning of the first day of April next you go in any of the dry goods stores in Raleigh and the clerks will be yawning, gaping and stretching, eyes red, &c. Ask them what is the matter. They will tell you the "boss" kept us here all night last night. You ask what for and they will tell you confidentially that they spent the night marking the dry goods up higher. You natu rally ask why this is done. Well, they say, Swindell's closing out sale ended yesterday and we are going to make up for loss time now. We have it our own way and we mean to make some money. Well, you will say, did you mark anything but dry goods up? Yes, indeed, we marked up all our shoes, all our carpets, all our hats, all our notions, all ribbon; in fact, all the goods which Swindell has been keeping the price down on. This may look like overdrawing the picture but it is true. Yours truly.

Manager Heartt of Metropolitan Hall has secured an exoslleot attr ta tion for next TuUy oigt in "T e Old, Old Story" a comely dra .a originally produced at the Lyceum Theater, New York. The p ay is purely American, and one of genuine human interest. It contains much sentiment and abundance of comedy, thus co mingling the sunshine and shadow of real life. Through its scenes men and women appear, acting as real men and women do, and J ;--playing that heroism and those vir tues of which real life is so full. The story is one of struggle in a woman's heart between 'ove and duty, a com mom human experience which is al ways an Interesting spectacle A youug woman, whose thoroughly honest nature is at least refreshing to the spectator, feels herself in duty ! bound to marry a man whom she does not. love and to sacrifice a man I whom she doee lo"e. The motive ! which impels her to this course is ! comprehensible ; uore thao. that, it awakens sympathy. She consents to1 marry the man she does not hive, nor merely because he is the sou of her ; guardian, her closest male friend since childhood, to whi m she has been tacitly betrothed ; it i? chieliy because this man, his father's part ner in business, has betrayed l is trust, has menaced her family and its gjou name with disgrace and dis honor, and can only avoid it with the aid of her fortune. Her confession to the man she loves, and whom she puts aside from a sense of justice, has, therefore, a trae spontaneous ring- of passion in it. This dramatic point is highly intensified by tbe fact that the girl's guanlian had also, in his younger days, betrayed a trst, and that his victim had been tne father of the man 8he lovee. The company presenting "The Old, Old Story" is exceptionally strong. Hardware, &c.
