The death of Mr. Jeremiah Nixon Hall, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Telfair Hall, which occurred at the residence of his parents last evening at 11:30 o'clock, gives bis many friends much sorrow. "Jerry," as he was intimately known by bis friends, had been ' for the last five weeks suffering from typhoid fever, which culminated in bis death last evening. He was at the time of his death in bis twentieth year, and was an exemplary young man in every respect. For some time be had held an important position as assistant purchasing clerk at the Sea board Air-Line offices here and bad always given perfect satisfaction. He will be greatly missed by his fellow employes there. Of a polite, cour teous and genial disposition, ha made many friends, and was loved by all who knew him, and besides bis loving father, mother and brother he leaves many warm . friends to deplore the loss. The funeral services were herd this afternoon at 3;30 o'clock from Edenton street Methodist church, of wbicb be was a member. Rev. J. N. Cole officiated. The pall bearers were Messrs. William Chapman, Andrew Syme, William Hughes, Edward B. Crow, Henry Young, Charles B. Hart and W. J. Cooper. The Weather Report. " For North Carolina: Fair; cooler in the interior Tuesday morning. Local forecast: Tuesday fair, slightly cooler. Local data for 34 hours end ing a. m. today; Maximum tempera ture B4; Minimum temperature 66; rainfall trace. A storm center off the north Atlan tic coast is causing jain in tbe north Atlantic states. Elsewhere the weath er is generally fair. Tbe pressure is highest over the northern lake region bat is also high in the interior and in tbe gulf region, which makes tbe out look good for fair weather here dor ing tbe next 86 hoars. Tbe tempera tare is apparently about normal ev erywhere. ,x . Fine photographs are now made by Jloore at about Half tbe rormer price DOTS AND DASHES MA.DE ABOUT TODAY'S HAP PENINGS. Intrestlng Items Gathered In and Around the City. - There are now 100 convicts in the penitentiary. The pea crop is Nash square is a very tine one.

Steele, of High Point, a notary public. A revival is in progress at St. Cyp rian's A. M.K.Z. church in the south eastern part of tbe city. Jones & Powell now sell all the ice used here. There are about twenty places where it is sold. The ice busi ness has been quite large this year. Berwattger Bros, do some talking today about the reduction of the tariff. They also tell of their own greatly re duced tariff on prices of summer goods. The breaks of tobacco in this mar ket begin next week. Raleigh's to bacco market certainly needs the sup port of business men. It gets very little encouragement, outside of un en tirely too limited circle. The democratic state central com mittee meets at 8.30 this evening at the committee headquarters in the Holleman building, at the request of state chairman James H. Pou. Mr. Albert Kramer, of Durham, has prepared ard is circulating a map showing the area of tobacco cultiva tion in this State. The leaf is now grown in 46, or almost half, of the counties in the State, reaching from Swain on the west to Beaufort on the east, and from the Virginia line to Lenoir county north and south. It is now cultivated in about two-fifths of the entire area of the State. The Washington correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says: "Sone of Capt. Samuel A. Ashe's friends here have mentioned bis name in connec tion with an office, but the arrange ment by which Mr. T. R. Jernigan was ) go to Shanghai and Capt. Ashe to t'emain with the News & Observer is said to preclude an appointment, if there were a place for him. His great merits and services are freely admit ted by all." This afternoon at 3 o'clock another excursion train from Portsmouth' ar rived here, bringing several hundred people, mostly colored, from that city and Norfolk. The St. Clair baseball club also came and played the Nation als this afternoon. The directors of the insane asylum will probably at their meeting here this week arrange for the furnishing of the new infirmary and congregate dining-room building, and provide for the maintenance of about 75 female patients. The pressure for admissions is very great. It will cost about $5,000 to fit np the new building and provide for the maintenance of 75 extra pa tients. The republican-populist county con ference held here Saturday amounted to nothing, it appears. Republicans say they cannot tell whether there will be fusion. Their county convention will be held next Saturday. Some of them say it will nominate a straight ticket. The populists proposed to al low tbe republicans to nominate two members of the legislature and two on the county ticket; one on the legisla tive ticket to be white, the other col ored This proposition will be laid before the county convention Satur day.'' :' : Tomorrow at Wilmington an excur sion will be given on the steamer Wil mington for tbe benefit of the Odd Fellows orphanage at GSldsboro. Tbe steamer will go to Southport and then to the blackfish grounds, The thirty ehildren-in the orphanage were taken to Wilmington this morning as the guests of the four lodges of Odd Fel lows there. They were taken at once to Ocean View, given a surf bath and a nice dinner, and will return to Wil- mington on an early train tomorrow and then take tbe trip on tbe steamer. Torbell'a cream cheese at Tours & WiBBK'a. OBSERVATIONS. Raleigh's public schools reopen Sep tember 21. The races will attract many visitors to the city this week.

Some of the finest crops in Wayne, Edgecombe and Lenoir counties bave been almost ruined by the wet weather. The infant daughter of Mr. Lindsey Lancaster died this morning. The funeral was held from the home at 5 o'clock this afternoon. The managers of this week's races hope the ladies will attend in large numbers as they always do. Tickets to the races are on sale at McKiinmon's drug store. Tbe "free-for-all" race, distance a mile and 2CD yards, will be trotted next Friday at the fair gibunds and will be to many the most attractive of all the events. No business was disposed of by the mayor this morning except the usual quota of Monday morning drunks. There were five of these who had put in their time Saturday night going around with "jags." A novelist makes one of bis charac ters say that although be is 50 years old he has "an abundance of hair and is not bald because be does not use tobacco." Do Visitor readers know any man who has never used tobacco who is baldheaded ? Sanitary officer Sale was on Satur day the most deeply disgusted man in this city. A messenger went to the station-house with news that the body of a dead infant was wrapped in a blanket in the northwestern part of the city. Officer Sale made quick time to the place and as the ground was quite muddy, and the place sev eral hundred yards beyond the city boundary, the officer had no pic-nic. He was shown the bag, which was a crocus sack, and found in it no baby at all but a very dead dog. This will not figure in his August sanitary re port. . The State Crop Report. The reports of correspondents for the week ending today indicate the continuation of favorable conditions in the western and central districts, but too much rain in the eastern. A number of local storms were reported from the central and eastern districts, injuring crops, over limited areas. Cotton is opening freely in the south. Curings of tobacco are generally good.

A Possible Complication. Jmnen Wilsoii, a white man, was com mitted to jail Saturday to await the September term f court, charged with larceny. Tbe charge, which Wilson admits, is stealing an ox belonging jointly t William Gower and another man, both of Holly Springs. The ox was taken from the pasture of Mr. Gower. The case may not end with the conviction of Wilson. , It seems that he last Friday sold the ox, which Mr. Gower claims was a very valuable animal, to a well known butcher for $20. Gower Rays that he will prosecute the utcher for receiving stolen property nd bases his charge upon the fact that although the ox was (slaughtered the butcher was suspicious and refus ed to pay Wilson for the animal The Gates of Heaven and Hell in Modern Babylon."
