onors Misses Lilliau Slocomb. Maude
Haigh, Ellen and Bessie Underwood.
Misses Lillian Slocomb and Maude Haigh

erwood first distinction in violin.
Claims on the Gorernuient. --
Mr. H. McD. Robinson was engaged
yesterday in taking evidence of witnesses
m United States Government claim cases.
Mr. Isaac F. Dortch of Goldsboro was
present in the interest of the Government.
These claims were allowed by Congress
but vetoed by the President. They have
been re-opened and the proceedings yes
terday was to establish the loyalty to the
Federal Government during the war of the
claimant?. It seems that this was the
ground on which the President vetoed the
bills.
Rer. Mr. MclCelway.
Rev. A. J. McKelway returned Thurs
day from Jackson, Miss, whither he went
at the request of the First Presbyterian
Church of that city. Though Mr. McKel
way was delighted with Jackson and her
people, he has not decided yet whether he
will accept the hearty call extended by
the Presbyterians of the capital city of
Mississippi. The Presbyterians of Fay
etteville and citizens generally are very
much adverse to losing this brilliant
young preacher, and strenuous efforts
will be made to induce him to remain.
Railroad Humbling.
On June 15, the daily local freight ser
vice between Fayetteville and Florence
will be discontinued. Trains will run tri
weekly, leaving Fayetteville Fridays,
Thursdays, and Saturdays at 10:00 a. m.
Commencing June 14, the Southern
Railway will inaugurate a new fast pas
senger service between Norfolk, Va., and
Chattanooga, Tenn., operating over the
Atlantic Coast Line via Selma, leaving
Norfolk 10:05 a. m., daily and arriving at
Chattanooga 8:20 a. m. next day. This
train will run through solid without change.
:
A Splendid Troupe.
The following is a clipping from the
Charlotte Observer in reference to the
play which the Charlotte Dramatic Club
will present here on Tuesday night the
i6th, for the benefit of the Vance Memorial
Fund :
"The Congressman" was presented last
night to the largest house of the season.
There was not a vacant seat up stairs or
down. The play was fun from first to
last. It is chock full of bright, witty
lines and ludicrous situations, and last
night's performance was presented with a
f rirnfiaesinrinl nerfeetion never be-
fore equalled by an Amateur Club. The
auaience was wuuiy cuLuuoiaom., aw
yelling from first to last.
After the third act the whole caste was
oiii Kpfnrf thp curtain, while several
- - j --- .
times a player wasrecalled or the curtain
rang up a second time.
it was a ereat show: the best the Dra
matic Club has given. Every one came
fit. John's Chantry and Pariah Rooms.
We learn that the contract for building
the Chantry- and Parish rooms for St.
John's church, has been awarded to Messrs.
R. P. Williams & Co., and that the work
will begin to-morrow, (Saturday) and that
all will be completed within 90 days.
The plans for this building were drawn
by Messrs. Barber & Co., of Knoxsville,
Tenn.,. after sketches furnished by Mr.
Silas McBee, the New York Architect. It
is to be hoied that thf s:pirit of improve
ment indicated by the work may soon ex
tend into the interior of St. John's church
itself including a centre aisle and new
windows. When this is done there will
not be a more beautiful church in the State
than St. John's.
The Confederate Museum.
Mrs. J. A. Hodges, 205 East Franklin
Street, Richmond, Va., is one of a com
mittee in charge of the North Carolina
room in the Museum.
Mr; B. R. Huske, of Huske Hardware
House, is assisting Mrs. Hodges in collect
ing here and forwarding any relics of the
war, such as swords, bayonets, guns,
flags, &c.
Parties having articles they are willing
to loan or donate will please tag them,
putting their names and whether given or
loaned on the tag.
As North Carolina furnished one-fifth of
all the troops in the war it seems but pro
per that her people should make a credita
ble exhibit. There will be a grand reunion of
Confederats veterans in Richmond in June,
and there could be no better time for the
exhibition of these relics.
Mr. G. W. Lake, of this city, while iu
Richmond recently, called on Mrs. Hodges
and was surprised to learn ftom her that
while Virginia's room in the Museum is
being rapidly filled, North Carolina is
making little progress towards filling hers.
700 Excursionists.
The picnic of the Methodist Sunday
Schools of the city, at Red Springs yester
day was voted a grand success in every
particular. The crowd in attendance was
the largest that ever left Fayetteville, the
number being not less than 700 instead of
350 as was first reported, so we are in
formed by a veteran excursionist. Not a
single case of disorderly conduct was re
ported, and it was a subject of general re
mark that for such a large crowd the
behavior could not have been, improved
upon,
A better place than Red Springs could
not have been selected for an occasion of
the kind, and right royally did young and
old enjoy the day's outing at the delight
ful summer resort.
The Hotel Townsend, located near the
springs, proved the centre of attraction,
and in the cooling shade of its broad
piazzas, on the grassy lawn in front, and
under the shade of the spreading oaks
which adorn and make beautiful the place,
were to be seen men, women and children
of every age and station enjoying and
disporting themselves as only people can
on an occasion like this. The springs,
too, did a lively business, though many of
the little ones , expressed disappointment
as they had innocently supposed. At noon
the table was spread at the springs, and
all joined in partaking of old-fashioned
picnic, the pleasure of the children being
especially cared for.
Quite a number of cyclists went down
with their wheels, and the long Bicycle
parade, with 48 wheels in line, winding its
sinuous length around the . race course,
formed an interesting feature of the occasion.
