DOTS AND DASHES MADE ABOUT TODAY'S HAP PENINGS. Intrusting items Gathered in and Around the City. Yesterday afternoon the heaviest rain of the year fell a few miles south west of here. The weather prophet now predicts fair weather. The farmers near here want to see it. On the first day of August the rail ways in this section will restore their Id freight rate. A gentleman "slightly under the influence," was given twelve hour in the station house this morning. Couunnnion services will be held at the Church of Good Shepherd at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, that being St. James' day. It is believed that the trial of Ed. Fuller for murder will be moved from Cumberland to another county, if possible. Postmaster liusbee will make an other earnest effort to obtain an al lowance for another clerk in the office. He visits Washington for that pur pose. Next Thursday afternoon at Athle tic park Wake Forest and Raleigh baseball teams will cross bats. These teams played last week at Littleton, Wake Forest winning, 8 to 4. Mr. V. C. Royter's confectionery store and factory is quite a landmark here. He has occupied it nearly thirty years, it is now being torudowu aud a new building, two stories high, with large windows, will replace it. Deputy sheriff Walters showd a Visitor reporter some well executed drawings of birds, etc., which Orange Page drew and sent to Mr. Walters' children. Orange will have little time to develop his latent talent. The exact valuation of the railway property in the state, leaving out the North Carolina railway (assessed last year at $2,000,000) is $22, 752,994. The decision in tli a injunction case against the officers of the North Caro lina railway, to prevent them from paying taxes, was not filed on the 18t,h, and it may be some time before it is filed. During the storm yesterday after noon the armature in the power house of the electric street car company was struck by lighting and the insulators burned out. The cars arenot running to day and will not run until new insula tors are obtained, which will be several days at least. They have been tele graphed for. The street car company at Charlotte is making further improvements of its system in order that the cars may be operated in storms. A Westinghonse tank lightning arrester is being pat in and thirteen lightning arresters. The line and power house will be in every way provided with modern safeguards against damage by lightning, so that the cars may run in storms as well as in fair weather. The commissioner of agriculture says there was never a better crop outlook in this state than at present, and that the "hog crop" is very large; certainly the largest since the war. The largest cotton dealer here' says the increase in cotton acreage is at least 10 per cent, greater than last season, and that the crop is at the very least 25 per cent, better. The sidewalks on West Martin street from Nash square to Fayetteville street ought certainly to be paved. f the property owners have not the pub lic spirit or the means to do the paving then the eity ought to do the work. This much is due the thousands of people who walk to and from the depot. The present bad sidewalks make an exceeding poor impression on visitors, who chiefly use them. This matter ought not to be passed -by as are so many good suggestions, but ought to be given prompt attention. Now is the time to do the work. A ROMANTIC WEDDING. The Question is Where is the Bride's Home. Yesterday's Charlotte News con tained the following: Satnrd.iy night a handsome couple stepped off of the train here. They were married shortly afterward by Uev. L. R. Prnett. Soon after the ceremony the couple went to a hotel where they registered as '(. E. Burliugame and wife, Richmond, Va." They will. remain until Wednes day, when they will return north. The bride was Miss Florence Brower, said to be of Richmond. One strange thing about it is the marriage license was given by register of deeds Cobb July 4th. Just how or why that was done is not kuown. Mrs. Burlingame has a sweet face and looks to be about 22 years old. The groom is a handsome young fellow and looks boyish beside hisbride. He is one of the chief clerks in the auditor's office f the Southern railway, Washington, D. C. It was decided to keep the marriage a secret, as the bride holds a very lucrative position in one of the departments in Washington and as soon as itiis known that she is married she will lose it. She is probably a North Carolinian, and has claimed Richmond as her home for the reason above indicated. Meeting of the Humane Society. A very enthusiastic meeting of the Wake county humane society was held last evening. Much work was done of interest to the society. The roll of membership showed one hundred names. A report from the committee on charter, constitution, by-laws, Ac, was received. The discussion of mat ters pertaining to the workings of the association was spirited and earnest. From the enthusiasm and business like manner in which the society is moving forward success is as sured.. The society will meet again next Thursday evening . to adopt a constitution and elect officers for the coming year. It is in deed gratifying to 'know that this movement is meeting with such hearty encouragement from the public. All should take an interest in this noble undertaking. The Academy Leased. Arrangements were today completed for the lease of the academy of music. Prof. George D. Meares is the lessee. He takes all the companies which had already been booked by Mr. Palmer Jerman. The attractions so far booked are eicellent and will no doubt be well patronized by the theatre-goers of Raleigh. They are as follows: Barlow, Powers and Dob son's minstrels, Milton Nobles, The Spider and the Fly. Thomas W.Keene, Frohman's "Jane," Lillian Lewis ("Cleopatra"), James Young, Peck's Bad Boy, Manola Mason (opera), Noss. Jollity company, Mabel Paige, Stanley Macy and Rita Mann, Mrs. James Brown Potter and Kyrle Bellew, Robert Downing, Robert Mantell and the "Fast Mail" company. The Weather Report. For North Carolina: Fair, slightly warmer in the interior. Local fore cast:. Un Wednesday, fair weather, slightly warmer. Local data for 24 hours ending 8 a. m. today: Maximum temperature 81; Minimum tempera ture 69; rainfall 0.42. Rainy weather continues over the Atlantic states and a new storm is passing eastward north of the lake region. In the central valley the weather is now generally clear and it is probable that the clearing con dition, will spread eastward tomorrow. The pressure is high over Florida and in the northwest. The heaviest rain during the past 24 hours was 1.48 at Charlotte; elsewhere the rainfall- was light. Don't overlook our sal of linen ta bic cloths and.fruit cloths. Yon may miss some good things if you don't sec them. ' Swindell's. Finest New York State cremery but ter at Tubsbr ft Wtnhb'b. PERSONAL POINTS. ABOUT PROMINENT NORTH CAROLINIANS.

Tucker, accompanied by her daughter, Miss Pearl, and Miss Burnett Eceles, of Norfolk, went to Chapel Hill this afternoon. Mrs. Joseph F. Ferrall left this morning for Houston, Va., to visit her father, and will be absent six weeks. Mr. R. L. Thompson, of the cotton firm of Barbee & Thompson, left to day for an extended tour through the northern cities in the interest of the firm. Mr. W. B. Royster, a compositor in the New-Observer-Chronicle office, had a severe attack of asthma this morn ing a store on South Wilmington street. He fell to the floor. A phy sician was summoned and Mr. Royster was taken home. OBSERVATIONS. Only one more day and then for Norfolk. It isyour best chance. Only $2.50.

They are Willie Pace, aged 10 years, and Garland Martin, who is 12 years old. Their place of business is the corner of Blount and Polk streets. They deal in cool drinks, confectioneries, etc. The firm name is Martin ft Pace. Vanderbilt Buys Another Big Tract of Land. The Charlotte Observer says : "Mrs. V. S. Lusk and W. G. Candler have sold to Geo. W. Vanderbilt a tract of land in Buncombe, Henderson and Transylvania counties comprWing 6, 400 acres, which adjoins his vast es tate near Asheville, The price paid is understood to be between $30,000 and $40,000, of which Mrs. Lusk re ceives all but about $5,000. Improvements at the Yarboro. It is learned that much work is to be done in the way of remodeling and improving the interior of the Yarboro. The office is to have a tiled floor and steel ceiling, the location of the clerk's desk will be changed, the three iuner doors between the lobby and the of fice will give place to an arch; a steam hehting equipment will be put in; the stirways will be altered; the exterior of the building will be repainted. The old Yarboro is always popular and is to be made more attractive than ever The above named are only a few of the projected improvements. 1 Mblrobr" flour just received at Turner ft Winnb's, EYES SHOT OUT. The Fate or aMan Who Intend ed to Assault. . In Rockingham county, near Loe'; church, a man Saturday ni;lit en deavored to force an entrance into the bed-room of Miss Walker, a daughter of Mr. William Walker, a highly-respected i-itiien of that neighborhood. Her room is on the ground floor, ami about midnight she heard some one tampering with the window.- She 'luietly went for her father, who re turned with a shotgun aud fired at once through the window. The per son disappeared, but was found yes terday morning near the house with both eyes shot out and his f.iceciit with glass. He is a negro and was cared for by a physician ami removed to jail, where he will probably die. Off for the Mountains. This morning some fifty persons left here.on the special excursion train for Asheville. The train was of nine cars and up to the time it reached here $1,500 of tickets had been sold. The weather is very favorable for travel ing and no doubt the excursionists will enjoy themselves. The managers are Pippin and Daniel, who have had much success with excursions. This lias certainly been a notable year here for the excursion business. Yet there are people who say there is no money in circulation. Trustees of Rex Hospital. The board of trustees of Ilex hospi tal met this niorniug and transacted routine work. The rates for rooms for pay patients were fixed as follows: Middle room on the second floor $7 per week; middle room on the south side on second floor .B per week and the outside room on the first floor $9. Miss Wyche, the head nurse, has ar rived and taken charge and there is already evidence, of her superior training and experience. White Caps in Reidsville A residence in the suburbs of Reids- vill which for some time has borne a bad name was visited last night by ten men disguised as " white caps," and the proprietress,' her daughter, and husband were compelled to vacate the premises and march to the woods near by, where all were severely whipped and warned to leave the neighborhood. The police are endeavoring to find the white caps. . ; Died. ; News was received here today of the death of Mr. Kmil Pool at Fayette ville. Mr. Pool was formerly of this city and his many friends will be pained to hear of his untimely death He was about 24 years of age and leaves a wife and one child. New Advertisements.
