Attention Is directed to the adver

Alderman Pogue's resolution in re
lation to the centennial celebration,
recommends the consideration of the
Chamber of Commerce at their next
meeting. Let the next meeting be at
an early day, and Jet there be prompt
action. There has already been too
much Indi ffere nee in the matter. ' If
it were done, when 'tis done, then it
were well it were done quickly." A
resurrection of the chamber at this
juncture would Inspire much conti
jeuce in the community.

from his home to Key West, and re
ports tins order in a propperous con
dition. Bto. Gerwick is an odd feU
looi, 1 .
The resolution of Alderman Pogue,
relative to the centennial, suggests
the co operation of the Chamber ot
Commerce at its next meeting. Just
when tlitt. is to take place, is now
uucertain. We hope the chairman of
the chamber will act as soon as pos
sible. It is highly important that
there should be concert of action.
Complimentary.
The Chair of chemistry, intheCen
tral University of Kentucky, has been
tendered to Prof, W. A. Weathers, of
the Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege, but it was declined, the profess
or preferring to remain in his present
position.
memorial Resolution.
At a meeting of the Wake County
Democratic Executive Committee,
held at the Mayor's office last Satur
day, the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, That in the death of W.
R. Womble, our former chairman,
the community has lost a most valu
able citizen, the Democratic party a
most faithful aud loyal supporter of
its princfples, and we hereby tender
to his bereave ! family our sympathy
in their affliction.
Our Centennial.
In our issue of last Saturday, we
printed several communications indi
eating 'the voice of the people" rel
ative to a proper celebration of, the
centennial of the city of Raleigh.
These communications show to some
extent, the teeling of the comu unity
un the subject. The unanimous pas
sage of Alderman Pogue's resolution
it tha meeting last Friday night also
exhibits a desire on the part of our
"City Fathers" to enter heartily into
the scheme. This being the case, it
would seem now to be in order to ob
tain from public sentiment an ex
pression of opinion, as to when the
proposed oelebi uiou should take
place. Properly speaking, the ball
should have been set in motion some
time since, and the present month
would seem to have been the proper
time for it. It is too late now, of
course, to discuss this proposition,
and we must content ourselves with
such a disposition of the matter as to
time, as the committee to be appoin
ted by our Mayor may indicate. Sug
gestions, however, are in order, and
we would propose that the event be
one of the programs for fair week
next fall, what more convenient or
appropriate time could be designa
ted than "Raleigh Day" of the State
fair? If our Mayor will at an early
day, appoint the committee provided
for, and they will go to work at once
in the matter of preparation, we can
have tbe occasion so heralded forth
as to bring to our city a tremendous
crowdfrom all over the State.lt should
be remembered that it will be some
thing more than an event calling
forth local pride. Raleigh is tbe cap
ital of the State, and hence all the
people of North Carolina should be
expected to take an interest in an
event of the kind.
We are open to Bureestions. We
naire the State fair week as the time.
Can any better be selected?
RAID ON "THE BOWERY."
A i'ariy of Sable Sunday Gam
blers Pounced Upon And
Brought to Justice.
This has been something like a
' .'.fid day" in the mayor's court. A
large crowd was in attendance at tbe
"levee" this morning, compos d main
ly of colored persons who were drawn
thither on account of a raid made
yesterday upon their race.
London has its "St. Giles." New
York its "East River Slums," Rich
mond its "Rockets" and other cities
their various localities of crime and
degredation. Raleigh is not behind
on its proportionate scale. Many
have been the queer designations of
places where vice prevailed. In years
ijone by "Hayti" and Hell's Half
Acre" were the euphonious titles to
debasing neighborhoods. These, how
ever, changed in later times to the
"Bowery," which has become well
known to the police and notorious to
the public.
Tbe case in point is as follows : Yes
terday morning about 8 o'clock the
police having intimations or sus
picions of gambling going on at the
bowery, made a raid upon a diss
reputable house situated at tbe foot
of Dawson street, near where it runs
under the North Carolina Railroad,
and there arrested three colored men
named .respectively, M. C. Jones, L
Gilliam and Rochelle, intent on a
game of cards for money. They were
arrested and taken to the station
house. This morning they were r
raigued before the mayor, and, no
doubt deeming "discretion the better
part of valor," they submitted ibeir
cases. The law was vindicated to tbe
extent of $12 25 each Two other col
ored men were in the house. They
did not appear to have gambled, but
being caught in bad company, tbey
were made examples of to the extent
of $5 and costs each.
Ranie Williams, the proprietress of
the house was arraigned for 1 eeping
a gambling house. She appeared in
her own defence and protested that
she did not know tht gambling was
going on. She pleaded "with tears
iu her eyes," but the mayor held to
the mttxim that "ignorance of the
law excuseth not," especially in the
matter of violating the Holy ' abbath
Rainie was fined $25 and cost, in
spite of her energetic plea of "injured
innocence."

Jack Spratt's Knowledge.
Jack Spratt took in the town yes
terday and for lack of a better sub
ject he talked to every one he saw of
Swin Dell's business. Jack says it is
amusing to hear them talk, in the
parks, on the streets, at the church
dors, in the parlors, at the dinner
tables, everywhere, and everybody is
talking of Swin Dell. Some say he
is a fraud but they like bim because
he is different from other frauds. All
agree he is prepared to sell goods and
is selling goods now for real much
money less than any one in the same
line. Some say his stock of new spring
goods are by far the most beautiful
ever in Raleigh. Great many people
asked Jack Spratt to explain why
Swin Dell is selling goods at prices
apparently less than cost, if he is fix
ing to break to these questions. Jack
kept mum. Some would ask why did
Swin Dell not leave Jack had no
answer for this question either. One
lady asked Jack why Swin Dell don't
out samples. Jack gasped nuisance,
which satisfied the lady.
