The plans and spec ifications are not, as yet, complete. The colored people are having a high old time at Neuse now, where there is a big camp meeting and re vival. A great many left here on the 11 o'clock train to attend it and assist in shouting. Yesterday was a great day t Neuse. I'he festivities consisted of a barbecue, a country breakdown and a ball game. The contesting teams were the Orioles, of Raleigh, and Neuse. The latter came off victorious. Several persons from here took in the fun. Two barbers employed in a barber shop here had a disagreement last evening and the matter ended in a "scrap." After they were separated both wereanxous for more, so the door was shut, the shutters closed and an Id time slugging mill was carried on vitbin. From the various noises .liicli issued from the shop it is sup posed that the fight was to a finish. MA J. TUCKER'S WILL Is Probated Today He Leaves All to His Wife. The last will and testament of Maj. Rufus S. Tucker was admitted to pro bate today. The will was executed on Feb. 6th, 1880, and was witnessed by Chas. McKimmon and W. T. Mc Gee. The substance of the will is that the deceased leaves all his prop erty, real and personal, to his wife, Florence Perkins Tucker. It leaves the whole matter of making bequests to their children entirely in her dis cretion, trusting to her wisdom and affeetion for them. The will also provides, or suggests, that ad vances be made to the children and charged to them. A note exe cuted in February, 1894, provides that no advances shall be charged to the children and states that he has made no advances to his unmarried chil dren. Mrs. Tucker is sole executrix. The value of the estate is not stated. It is however, one of the largest in North Carolina. The Buffalo Races. The trotting races at Buffalo yes terday are of much local interest, as several North Carolina horses parti cipated. The main race was won by the famous horse, Alix. Pamlico was second and Pixley third. Had not the race been postponed from Thursday Pamlico would undoubtedly have won, as the other horses were rapidly tiring. (The best time was 2:08 3-4 Miss Nelson, who was beaten at Reds ville last spring, won the 2:18 class trot over sixteen others. Several of her half-brothers are owned in Hal eigh. The best time was 2:13 1-4. Tf vnn wiuh viinr mnnkinir hird tn - - j - j a do well bay food for it at Dughi's; 35 cents a box.

The Sentence of the Law Executed Upon Him in the Presence of 5,000 People. A special to the Charlotte Observer Bays that Robert Madkins paid the death penalty yesterday at a point midway between Burlington and Gra ham, for crime of rape upon the per son of Miss Mary Phillips, of Carolina cotton mills at Burlington, on the 20th of last Miy. Sheriff J. A. Hamiton pulled the trigger that sent the fiend into eternity, dangling at the end of a rope. The prisoner was taken from the jail at 10:30 and under escort of a corps of deputy sheriffs and the Bur lington Light Infantry marched a mile to the scaffold, where, surrounded by 5,000 people, he at 11:07 ascended the steps with a steady step. A colored preacher talked for him and gave the usual warning, conducted services and bade the prisoner good-bye. At 11:35 the sheriff adjusted the noose, Mad kins said good bye and at 11:37 the drop fell as lightning and the negro's neck was broken short. In 15 min utes the physicians pronounced him dead and in 19 minutes he. was taken down, placed in a county home coffin and turned over to his parents for burial. He held up well in fact he never has shown any feeling in the matter and stood on the trap today and answered " ready" in a clear voice at the same instant he went down. The day was intensely hot and there were two or three cases of faint ing in the sweltering sun. A Notable Excursion. .

It grew so bad that she thought it necessary to call in a physician. For some reason she had formed a dis like for the t'amHy physician, so her father suggested several others, and finally said that he would call iu the homu'patliic physician with the case, who passed the house every day. They kept a sharp lookout for .him, and when lie came along he was called in. The young lady modestly showed him the disabled .member. The little inanMooked at it aud said : "Why, that's pretty bad." "Well," she said, "what must 1 do?" "If 1 were you," lie answered, ''1 would send for a physician. I am a piano tuner."
