DOTS AM) DASHES MADE ABOUT TODAY'S HAP PENINGS. Intresting items Gathered in and Around the City. Thursday, July 16 Masonic excur sion. There are thirty entries for next week' races at the state fair grounds. Johuuy Dughi is again sick and it j is thought his illness is the result of his recent fall from a wagon. The Southern railway has dropped two of its employes in the freight of fice here, as well as one yard crew. The Montgomery is the first vessel of the new navy to visit N. C.waters. By going on the Masonic .excursion you can witness the naval review. The cotton receipts in this market next season will most probably very largely exceed those during the pres ent season. The latter are over 5,000 more than those of the 1S93-3 season. A large excursion of Norfolk color ed people is expected to arrive here late Thursday afternoon. Friday the Norfolk St. Clair baseball team will play the Ualeigh Nationals. The charity and help department of the 1 pworth league of Central M. K. church will met-t. this evening in the lecture room at 8:15. Every mem ber is requested to be present. The wood-working and painting de partments at the S. A. L. shops here have censed to exist. Saturday five painters were dropped. 1'aiutii.g as well as wood work will hereafter be done at the Portsmouth shops,. A Washington special to the Char lotte Observer says that the two North Carolina senators, rivals for election, are apparently on excellent terms, and frequently converse together ou the senate lloor. Under new general orders from the adjutant general's department an al lowance of 200 yearly is made to each company of the State Guard out of the national quota, in orduance and quartermaster's stores, and this may be drawn in whatever may be ueeded. The state reserves $3,000 to )e used for arms and ammunition. The Oakwood cemetery association has elected as directors R. H. Bat tle J. R. Ferrall, W. R. Tucker, Win. Grimes, T. H. Briggs, Col. A. 15. An drews, Dr. W. J. Hawkins and B. G. Cowper. The officers are: R. H. Bat tle, president; W, C. Stronach, vice president; W. H. Dodd, secretary and treasurer; A. 15. Forest, superinten dent and gate-keeper. The mortgage indebtedness of this state in 1880 was in round numbers $3,401,000. It was in 1890 $7,256,000. In the four years since there was only one fine crop (that of 1890) and the farmers had only one opportunity to pay debts. But the low prices of products more than counterbalanced the result of the favorable year. This year no doubt a good deal of debt will be extinguished. Many colored firemen passed here yesterday on their way to Durham to attend their state convention which met today. The Cape Fear of Wil mington with a fine steamer; Rough and Ready, of Newbern; Salamander, of Washington; Red Hot, of Wilson, and Phoenix, of Wilmington, were on the train. This morning the Raleigh Victors left, 46 strong. They took a fine reel team and expect to win some prizes. ' . Talk About Grapes. Whit'ng Bros, have thirty acres in grapes and blackberries. They got this season barely one-third of a crop of grapes, and sold 280 packages of 25 pounds each, or 7.000 pounds, at prices ranging all the way from 25 to 4 cents a pound, but averaging 7 cents. The grapes grown by them are Dela- wsres and Niagaras. The sales of grapes and berries aggregated $1,250, Next year they will have many more bearing vines, and then too, it is ho ped, the frost will not get in its deadly work. One grower who has a vine yard south of here expected to handle 30,000 pounds of grapes, whereas, thanks to the freeze, he got barely twenty pounds. Make your arrangements to attend the Masonic excursion Thursday.' NEXT WEEK'S RACES HERE. Some Chat About the Speedy Horses Entered. All lovers of fin--, well-bred horses should attend the A-i'mst races, to be held at the state fair grounds August. 23-23. This m it.e fourth effort of the m.iuagcui ii in iv t'i , eople of ltaleigh and I i" nixie some .1 in uport and good racing with N '. Caro lina horses. Guud order ha- always prevailed heretofore, and im effort will be spared to see u re it this time, and the management eonlidently ex pects tu have the best people turn out and show their apprecia tion of the efforts made to entertain them. The blond nf in my of the greatest sires ou earth will contend in these speed trials. Among these George Wilkes with nearly 2,000 descendants in the 2:30 list; Karon Wilkes, 2d, 2:18 and sire of the unbeaten Rubinstein, 2:10, and 25 others in the 2:30 list; Wilton, 2d, 2:19, and sire of Moquette, 2:10 and 25 others on the 2:30 list; Daniel Lambert sire of the dam of Pamlico, 2:10 1-2, the great est racer of the day; Happy Mediam, sire of Nancy Hanks, 2.04, and 85 others in the 2:30 list. A son of Aber deen out of a daughter of Director, sire of the dam of Nancy Hanks, 2:04; and a daughter of Jerome Eddy, 2:16, will also be "in it." There will be re duced fare on all the railroads. THE TARIFF BILL. What is Said About it in Wash ington. The Washington correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says Mr. Wil son puts it just right when he says: "On the tariff question we did not have a democratic senate." But for the house becoming thoroughly satis fied of this fact, the caucus and house action today would have been very different. It has ben a very exciting day, notwithstanding the result was foreseen. Twice in caucus and house Bourke Cockran, in fine bursts of elo quence, denounced the traitors to democratic principles. Talbert in the caucus and Crisp in the house re minded him that while other men labored for tariff reform here he was absent. This fact made him very an gry. All of the Carolina men voted to recede and accept the senate bill as the last chance. It is not Uie general judgment that the four free list bills passed tonight in the house will pass the senate at this session Sugar may be made free and barbed wire. Sena tor Ransom has said a free sugar bill can pass the senate. Today senator Jarvis predicted the passage of all these free list measures. It is just probable the president will fail to sign the Gorman bill or that he will insist on the senate passing all of those little bills. The party is somewhat on the defensive now, but with a live chance for further reforms soon, it will be in good plight for a vigorous campaign this year. Senator Jarvis, if he had had an op portunity, would have spoken on the side of the undoubted right of the house to the possession of the tariff bill. He illustrates his position in supporting the bill thus: "If I start out to walk a long distance, and a set in a jolting wagon is offered to me as the only alternative, I should accept it rather than walk, but I would prefer a car riage."

THE STATE ALLIANCE. It is in Session at Greensboro To day - Some Facts and Figures. President Marion Butler, chairman of the state alliance executive commit tee, says regarding the reports made to the latter: "Our strength in North Carolina is about 1.200 greater than twelve months ago, as state president Mewborne lias been quite active in or ganizing new sub-alliauces and re organizing old ones. The North Caro lina alliance now lias about 27.500 members. The finances have been just large enough to operate it. The fees are small no larger than when it had 100,000 members. The state business agency shows business approximating $375,000 during the twelve months. It has, like everything else, felt the hard times. Its business has been as large as half a million. A new business agent may be elected, or W. 11. Worth may 'be retained until it is seen whether or not be is elected state treasurer. William A. Graham has reported, as trustee of the business fund, that this now approximates $31, 000. Only $2,000 were drawn from it under the act of the last legislature, which is a remarkable showing, Out ot it, also, fl, '.100 were -expended in the fight against the jute bagging trust. -- Tobacco Crop Prospects. A Visitok reporter this morning in terviewed Mr. T. U. Love, one of the ldest and must experienced tobacco men here, in regard to the prospects for the tobacco crop and the amount of business in this line that will be conducted here next season. Two warehouses will be open to the farm ers next season; the one known as Jones' and the old Farmers warehouse. Although both are now ready to re ceive tobacco active work w ill not be- jiu until about September 1, Reports from the country say that the tobacco crop is very good and curing is pro gressing finely. In some parts of the county the crop may,yet be injured, as the tobacco is ''firing" somewhat cm account of the wet weather lately. The local tobacco business is ex pected to be larger than ever this year. It is said there is a scarcity of buyers and that there is a splendid opening for them here. The leaf tobacco bus iness is an important one that should materially advance the interests of Raleigh. There is no reason why this should not be an excellent tobacco market and a little more "push" and encouragement will make, it so. Go to Wilmington Thursday on the Masonic excursion and witness the n;i val review, $2.25 round trip. A Wake County Distillery. Deputy revenue collectors Jones and Gibson last night raided an illicit distillery near Holly Springs, about 12 miles from here. They made the raid at night in the hope of capturing or finding out the names of the owners. In this, however, they were unsuccess ful. The still, which is of 45 gallons capacity, was brought here. Several moonshiners' establishments have late ly been raided in Wake. State Guard Appointments. Upon recommendation of adjutant general Cameron governor Carr today made the following appointments of officers in the naval battalion of the State Guard and commissions have been forwarded: L. F.
