QA Fv A LEIGH ' Very XrefylEmloaUona at the Locality are being ilda Two more cases pf typhoid fvJ developed yesterday at the little set tlement of operatives at Caraleigh mills. Day before yesterday , Go. CarraudDr. K. H. Lewis, secretary to the state board of health, visited the place and spent two hours or more in an examination. Tub Visitor was in error in staling that the state board of health had been officially notified of the prevalence of the epidemic there. Gov. Carr says he thinks the. site of the settlement was very badly' c II use n. pr, .1 allies .Hclee, county superintendent of health, holds the same view and says he has always held it to be a most unfortunate loca tion, It is now learned that ever since tlie houses have been occupied there has been considerable sickuess, but of course nothing like the state of affairs ii iv, when in every house some one is k. The type of sickness is bad.' T.iere were in all 30 cases yesterday. Dr. McKee was interviewed yesterday regarding the state of affairs at Cara leigh and said he had gone there at the request of Dr. McGee and had ex amined the houses occupied by the operatives; that he found these badly ventilated and had made suggestions as t j better ventilation, &c. He says he had the drinking water chemically analyz ed and it was found to be unusually pure. As soon as "sterilized" bottles arrive a biological examination of the w.Uer is to be made. He declares that nothing is being left undone to ascertain and remedy the cause of the trouble. It is his opinion that the peo ple will have to be removed, in order that the houses may be ventilated, fumigated, &c. As it is now, if a person dies the house cannot be fumigated, as others are sick in it. Today Dr. Mc Kee, in his official capacity, and Dr. Royster as an expert at. the instance of the owners of the mills visited the settlement. Before the county commissioners last week F. II. Busbee, Esq., appeared as counsel for persons living on Wains t creek from Caraleigh to Batman's pond, dowu the stream some four miles, and made a most earnest state in 'nt of the bad state of affairs. In 1826, under an order from judge Ilen l irsoii, a pond which stood where the ater-works pond now stands was Irained, the judge declaring it. to be not. only a menace to the health of the city, but also to the state officials heie resident. Mr. Busbee stated to the board that the water-works pond ought to be drained and abandoned; the very Hat lands drained, and chan nel of the creek straightened as far as Katnian's old pond, where a great ledge of stone on which the old dam stood is to be blown away so as to get more fall.. He also showed that the now 'open sewer from the insane asy lum must, be made a closed sewer. The sewage from the penitentiary ought, also to be so conveyed as to con nect with the asylum sewer which will have to be built through Tucker' meadow. This will keep Holman' pond clear of the great accuinmulation of filth which now makes itdange rous. TWELVE THOUSAND PEOPLE Were Yesterday at the Guilford Courthouse Battle Ground. At the celebration at the battle ground of Guilford court house yes terday there was by far the greatest assemblage ever seen there. Vice- president Stevenson and two daugh-. ters, judges shepherd, Siinonton and Dick were pressrit, as well as Mr. Hooper, a descendant of the signer of the declaration of independence. Prof, E. A. Alderman, of the .state univ er sity, delivered the address, a grand effort, which was on the life and ser vices of William Hooper. Vice-president Stevenson made an excellent speech, full of good words for North Carolina, his mother state. Other speakers were Samuel Wittkowsky of Charlotte, judges Simonton, Dick and Shepherd, J. R. Webster, Dr. KempP, Battle, Kope Klias, R. H. Battle and David Schenck. Music was by the Salem band, and a salute was fired by Salisbury veterans. Last evening a reception was given Mr. Stephenson at Greensboro. The Oriental colored fair is in pro. gress at Newbern.

Admis sion J cents. Only $2.50 round trip to Norfolk on Wednesday ,5lli Jul-. The best time to go on a bijj excursion then. New route; good time for everybody who goes. fraiu leaves Raleigh at 8 o'clock a. in. on the Z.HU July. The street cars did not riln ''yester day, for the reason that the new com pany has not yet formally organized and its members were advised that, in case of aiy accident they would be in dividually liable for damages. Last evening in the northwestern part of the city some person fired a shot which created great consternation among a group of ladies sitting on. their front porch. The ball whizzed by within a few feet of them. Is there no penalty against such careless shoot ing of loaded guns'? Mr. Cox, formerly of Raleigh but now car iuspecter at Sanford, was severely injured last Tuesday at that place. While attempting to couple two cars his right arm was caught between the bumpers and badly crushed, lt is feared that his arm will have to be amputated. He was brought here last night and is now iu Rex hospital. Dr. McKee yesterday referred to the statement in the report of the city san itary officer that there are only six cases of typhoid fever and said: "There are more cases than are reported. Some of the doctors are as careless about reporting contagious and infec tious diseases as they are about re porting births. There is an ordinance imposing a fine for such neglect and I intend to have it enforced," The colored people had an enter tainment last night at their Odd Fel lows' hall. While the fun was' at its height, about midnight, Emanuel Pierce, a floor manager, ordered Geo. Hinton oft' the floor. Upon his refusal to leave Pierce drew a pistol and shot him in the groin. Pierce has jumped tne country and his whereabouts are still unknown. Hinton is not seriously injured. Yesterday H. H. Capps, who lives near Smithfield, Johnston county, was here with a pair -ot tame foxes, three mouths old and as gentle and playful as kittens. They attracted much at tention, As they passed in front of Tucker's store they were observed to shrink and tremble. They had seen Messrs. William and James : Boylan, the redoubtable fox hunters. The "fourth" was never more quietly observed here. The occasional pop of a fire cracker, the bang of a toy cannon, and the. infrequent toot ing of horns were the only noises heard. Flags were displayed on the public buildings. There, was no par ade. A good many people from the country fcamr'i.jjarly all as del egates tdthe populist county conven tion. No accidents were reported du ring the day. A sky rocket fell down a chimney and exploded in the fire place of a lodging-house, causing a little sensation but no damage. A DEPLORABLE CASE. Mr. Andrew Syrae Dying Prom Lockjaw The Visitor mentioned last week the fact that while learning to ride a bicycle Mr. Andrew Syme had fallen and broken an arm in two places. Yesterday lockjaw, one of the most dreadful of all the results of an in jury, set in. It was quickly seeu,that his condition wasbritical in the ex treme. Therp' has been no improve ment iu it. kr Syme is extremely popular and'the expression of sympa thy for hira is general. This after noon at 5:30 rfr. Syme was rapidly sinking and all hopes of his recovery bad bftfiu abandoned by the attending phjvJeiaq ms. .fteVWeather Report. For JCwIh Carolina: Local show- ersH warmer in western portion Friday.

"HrV The pressure is slightly below the normal over the N'ew England states, north of the lake region and over Tejf,fls. The high area is central over th feast gulf. In the southern states the weather is generally threatening, with light rains. The weather is clear from the lake region to the north At lantic coast. The winds are variable and light. Much Meat Yet Sold. It is a popular idea that the farmers in this section of the state have at last had the good sense to raise their meat. It is a false notion if what a well known dealer in meat tells The Visi tor be true. He says six car loads of bulk meat from Chicago arrive at Raleigh every month, on an everage. That is 150,000 pounds a month or 1,800,000 pounds annually! He goes on to say that nearly every one of the farmers in l&e now buys meat from Chicago. He say it is true they raise a good deal of meat and that far less Western meat is brought here than up to say five years ago. The great strike in the west has caused an ad vance of half a cent a pound already. The farmers who buy meat and who occupy to that extent the relation of slaves to the west say that they can buy meat cheaper than they can raise it. The merchant says frankly that they never made a more erroneaus statement. U. S. Civil Service Examination. A competitive examination, under the rules of the United States civil ser vice commission, of applicants for the trades of clerk and carrier in the classified postal service at the post office in the city of Raleigh, will be held at the postoffice building in this city on the 11th day of August, 1804, commencing at 0 o'clock a. m.

With the departure of June and the beginning of July the spring of '94 will be history its most, important event, the great clearing sale at Swin dell's department store. We won't speak of the weather but of the high est grades of dry goods, in many in stances less than cost. "Make nay winie the sun shines is a maxim to be applied with peculiar force to the dry goods business. But "haymaking" time has passed, and for the next sixty days 20 per cent, 25 per cent, 50 per cent, and often more, will drop from the prices in all our 15 departments; but pat terns will buy cheaply, our stock will be reduced. The object, desired will be secured at Swindell's Department Store. Who Said That If the other half of Raleigh would follow the, example of the well clothed it would be better dressed. Swindell's Department Store. Successful storekeeing does hot mean gigantic profits-it. means do ing business, continually, constantly selling seasonable goods and even at a loss, before holding them over for many months. We are successful stove keepers and will sell thousands of dollars worth of seasonable stuffs at even less than cost while you most want them. This is the argument for the great July clearing sale at 1). T. Swindki.l's. Raleigh People Testify As to the merits and medicinal vir tues of the Otterburn Lithia water: Mr. A. L. Smith, Oak City laundry, says: "It is the best all round mine-, ral water 1 ever drank." Mr. Garland Jones says: "It has almost entirely relieved him of indi gestion and that he has been troubled very little since he commenced to use it." Mr. Nat L. Brown says: "That he can highly recommend it; that, it has done him a great, deal of good, both last summer and this summer." . Mr. L. J. Ramsey says: "That the use of tqis water lias been very bene ficial to him." ' Mr. T. P. Sale, sanitary inspector, says: "lt affords me pleasure to re commend the Otterburn Lithia water to any one suffering with kidney trouble. Since, 13 commence its nse 1 have fonnd greafc relief." A graat many others of our leading citizens, including physicians and druggists, speak favorably of this water and take it regularly.
