The stringers for the street railway on Fayettetteville street are being pre pared. The rail has not yet arrived. Deputy sheriff Hughes, of Colum bus county, brought four convicts to the penitentiary yesterday afternoon. Justice Bar oca today joined in the bonds of matrimony Charles Small, the Yarboro house porter, and Nellie Hunter. The excursion which lft today for Norfolk carrit-d nine car loads of pleasure seekers. Two of the cars were filled here. There is less complaint of hog chol era this year than in a long time. The percentage of increase iu the number of hogs is large. The rifle range in the armory of the Governor's Guard is of 50 yards. Re- luced charges of powder, only ten grains, are used, and small round bul lets. The practice is quite good. The Epworth league will give an other of its delightful entertainments tomorrow evening at 8:30 at the Sun day school rooms of Edenton st. Meth odist church. The entertainment will consist of music, recitations, etc. The public is cordially invited. Postmaster Busbee is making an earnest effort to abtain an increase of clerical force in the Raleigh office. It is said to be much harder to get an in crease here than at either Charlotte or Wilmington. Yet the volume of mail handled here is far larger than at those places. The amount of capital stock neces sary to ensure the establishment of the roller flouring mill has nearly been obtained by subscription and a meeting of the subscribers will be held at the office of R. T. Gray, Esq., next Tuesday, for the purpose of or ganization. Five cars filled with colored excur sionists left here at 9 o'clock this morning for Newbern. They were to have left at 7, but the managers put in a couple f hours more time raising money with which to pay for the train. Further- down the road a great many people joined this excursion. In rear of the jail workmen are put ting up a close and high fence within which will be a gallows on which Or ange Page, the murderer, will be hanged. Page can from his cell, which is dut a few yards distant, hear the noise of the hammers, hut cannot see the preparations. The railroad commission will this week assess the North Carolina rail road for taxation. It has. been wait ing for action by the federal court in the injunction matter. It appears to be the duty of the commission to make the 'assessment, no matter what the decision of the court may be. Mr. MeMackin, road supervisor, at tended the good roads convention at Chapel Hill yesterday. He says seven counties were represented, from Greensboro to Goldsboro, and that there was much interest and enthu siasm. Day after tomorrow the dele gates will come here and see the pro cesses of road building. '.. Later there is to be a road convention in this city. There was a carious occurrence at Moncure a few days ago. The post master, a "regular" Democrat, was boycotted by a " reformer," who used to get on the trains and ask passen gers to mail letters for him so they would not go through the Moncure of fice. The " reformer" got on ones too often , and when the train was moving quite rapidly he jumped. His fall was a very hard one and disabled him. The postmaster is a physician and was at once summoned to attend his enemy. A truce is now declared CONGRESSMAN ETJNN Will Not be a Candidate for Benominatlon. The YisrroB is able to announce on i he best authority that Hon. K. H. liunn will not be a candidate for re nomination for congress. He is not in the race this time. It is probable that a letter from hi 111 will appear in a few days. His retirement makes the race one between Smith and Cooke, with the odds very largely in the latter's favor. A MURDER IN JOHNSTON By a Distiller and a Captain in the Salvation Army. Sheriff Ellington, of Johnston county, made application for a reward for the capture of Herring Cheek, charged with murder. Last Saturday night Cheek waylaid T. Cole, a promi nent citizen of Johnston county, at Four Oaks, and struck him on the head with a pole, after which he escaped and has not yet been heard of. Mr Cole died Monday. Every effort was made by the sheriff to cap ture the murderer.but without success. In the application for reward the sheriff gives a description of the mur derer, in which he says Cheek has been a whiskey distiller and a captain in the "Salvation Army " Governor Carr has offered a reward of $200.

Extensive improvements are uow be ing made of the building of the insti tution for the white blind. They em brace the renovatinn, painting, plas tering, of the Hist Hu.ir and the recount ruction and renovation of the second flour of both wings. The sec ond story is to be entirely changed as to its plan of construction. New looms and halls will be arranged and the whole plan entirely changed. The equipment of the building, plumbing, lighting, ic, will be thoroughly mod ern in every respect aud will do a great deal towards increasing the comfort of the pupils. The plaus for the improvements were prepared by Mr. Bauer, Raleigh's well known arch itect, aud the North Carolina car com pany has the contract for the work. Considerable work is yet to be done, but it is the intention of the builders to have all finished by September 1, when the school's term begins. A Promising Fire. Box 221 rang out at 3:15 this after noon, the cause being a fire in the roof the big old wooden building at the northeast corner of South Salis bury and West Hargett streets. This house was for years the residence of the late Mrs. Mary Smith Morehead. Later Wetmore occupied it as a shoe factory. Then it became the farmers' alliance headquarters. Not long ago Mrs. Ayer bought it, and the aldermen gave permission for its repair. This morning several colored men were in the building, cleaning out the rubbish. The fire broke out at the west gable. Much paper was stored iu the old fashioued garret, also some of the machinery Wetmore formerly used. It was a bad place for a lire aud the fire men had lively work for half an hour. An unusually large crowd assembled to see the firemen whip out the flames. This was effectually done, with four streams. Mr. Hal. Ayer was in the house a few minutes before the fire broke out, directing the men who were doing the cleaning, lie left the house only a moment before the alarm was turned in. It is thought the lire was caused by some one smoking. The damage is small. A Complaint. A resident of the southern part of the city today made a complaint about the bad sanitary condition of a pump at the corner of Fayetteville and McKee streets, just inside the city limits. He says the pump, to his knowledge, has not been cleaned in eight years. Lately the water has become unlit for use. He thinks that a great deal of the sickness so pre valent in that part of the city is due to the use of this water. Several hun dred people got their water from it. Complaints have been made to the chief of police and to the board of health but no action has been taken Christian Education. Dr. J. B. Shearer, president of Da vidson college, will lecture at Metro politan hall tomorrow evening at 8:15 o'lock, on "Christian Education."
