Speculation As To Prospects Nam ing a Senator. Convicts Getting Out Railroad Bal last. Capt. Kendrlck'B Fn neraL Receptions. Bed Men's Baiaar Receipts. Cathollo Orphanafo Dedication. Raleigh, Jan. 30. At the stone quar ries at Hlllsboro 110 State convicts have been put at work getting out material for ballasting the North Carolina rail way. These were transferred thero from the work of railway construction in Mitchell county. Some convicts are yet left in Mitchell and they will remain there a little while longer. It was ex pected that by the holidays the work In Mitchell where tbe weather Is very cold would have been completed but there was delay and the convicts did not get on the south side of the mountain where It is warmer. The funeral of Capt W. B. Kendrlck, who died in Atlanta last Friday night was held from the Chapel In Oakwood Cemetery here this afternoon, the local camp of Confederate Veterans being in charge and furnishing the pall bearers. The State gives the Martin Furniture Company of Hickory, power to increase its capital stock to $50,000 by an issue of preferred stock. There was quite a curious phenomenon here this morning. At day light there was a very heavy dew but no sign of frost. A little later the dew froze and there was a frost almost equal to a light snow. Thero was a heavy fog last nlgbt which continued this morning and it was this which was frozen by a sudden drop In tho temperature after sun rise. A Senator says he expects to see a much harder fight In that branch than in the House on tbo bill giylng tho cor poratlon commission power to require tho building of union passenger sta. tions. Somo of the legislators appear to think there will bo no eeloctlon of a candidate at the Democratic Senatorial caucus to morrow evening. Tho friends of Wat son however oxpress entire confidence In his being a winner. One member who talks as If ho wcro on the outsldo, goes so far as to ssy there may be no nomina tion this week. Wednesday evening the Capitol Club will give a reception to the Legislature and It will bo an extremely handsome affair. Friday evening Mrs Aycock will give a reception to the Legislature at the Executive mansion. It is not a pub lic reception but Is being given only to the members. The receipts of the Red Men's Bazaar here last week are something under $2,000. But for the bad weather and the nightly caucuses they would have been larger. The bazaar was in aid of the Stale Orphanage which they hope to eS' tabllsh at an early day. In May the church at the Catholic Or phanage hero will bo dodlcatod, and it is hoped that Cardinal Gibbons and several Bishops will bo here. The ceremonies are to bo made very elaborate Father Price Is now North raising additional funds to complete the buildings. It Is also the plan to erect a large building for the boys and the present one as an annex. Supt. RH Brooks of the Soldlors Home is In bed and may be there for some time having strained and broken some of the leg muscles while lining heavy weight. ARAPAHOE. Business Changes. School House Nar rowly Escapes i Destruction By Fire. Jan. 26. Business in Arapahoe Is mov log along nicely. Mr A S Johnson has purchased the In terests in the merchantlle business here of his father and brother, Josephh John son His brother J A Johnson, has taken an interest with him, Mr G T Bennett failed to buy as was reported as ho could not get all the rights. Miss Carrie Barrington of Reelsboro, who was the guest of her sister Mrs O J Rock has returned to her home. Last Monday night Prof O J Rock discovered .the school house to be on fire; he and his- wife quickly gave the alarm and with the aid of many neigh bors succeeded In putting out tho flames before much damage had been done. The fire caught from a leaky stove pipe. Mr John B Brlnson of Batrd's Creek and Mist Carrie Hardlson of Arapahoe were united la marriage last Sunday.

A woman voter camo to him. and asked whether he wns In favor of Imposing theso berthago rates, becauso If ho was she would take good care that neither her husband nor herself would vote for him. A little dis cussion of the mutter rovcaled tho fact that tho woman was under tbe Impres sion that tho Question of berthage rates related to a poll tax on babies. That candidate now. doubts whether the av erage female voter Is not under a delu sion, or, perhaps, say, a spell. Wild Dissipation.
