Tucker & Co., ' 123 and 125 Fayetteville St. Intrestlng Items Gathered and Around the City. in The republicans of the eighth dis trict hare nominated Romulus Z. Lin- ney. Esq , of Taylorsville, for Con gress. Over two hundred people were tn the north-bound vest'buled train this morning. They were on their way to Washington from Georgia and Smith laronna. mere were twoeitr.i mis. The uniform code of rules for the gorernmeut of prisoners in this State has been prepared by Capt. C. B. Deuson, secretary of the State board of public charities. At the revival at St. Cyprian's church in east Raleigh last evening, a colored man professed religion who is 75 years old, and said he had not been in a church in 30 years. ? A party of young people had a very enjoyable geriusn last evening at the Park hotel. Daini.ig commenced it about 9:30 and ceased about, 1 o'clock. The ehaperones were Misses Roberta Smith and Annie Busbee and Messrs. Ed. Battle and Sam. Ashe. ' The first bale of cotton brought in this year of the 1894 crop was on the market yesterday. It was graded as middling, sold for 6 3-4 cents per pound, and was bought by Messrs. Barbee and Thompson. It came from the farm of Mr. Jesse Wood, at Leach burg, Johnston county. James Tilley, colored, was today given a .preliminary bearing netore mayor Badger for larceny. He was convicted and was fortunate enough to find some one to go on his bond for his appearance at the September term of court. The plunder he got away with was "salveture" which.it may be said for the benefit of the uninitiated is a white powder . used in making sausage. Excitement prevailed on Fayette ville street some time this morning, being caused by a runaway which be gan on East Morgan street. Two powerful bay horses, harnessed to a city wagon, came dashing up Morgan street and went pell mell into the lamp post at the corner of East Mor ;an and Fayetteville streets. Both horses sprawled on the side walk, un able to rise. For a wonder neither the horses or the wagon were injured. The lamp post, however, could not -stand the shock and was totally demolished. Every" now and then one may hear at ainerent points on nayettevnie street a startling explosion, followed in ninety-nine cases in a hundred, by choice and brilliant gemsof profanity. The pop is the explosion of the deli cate pneumatic tire of a bicycle, caused by glass, etc., being thrown on the streets. The rubbish usually comes from stores and it seems that the glass could easily be thrown somewhere else or cleaned up promptly by the city carts. Bicycle riders are not all saints and for the sake of the city's moral tone the glass should be cleared away and not cast in the streets. A Glorious Defeat. The Raldigh baseball team has re turned from Henderson where it was defeated yesterday afternson. Al though Henderson won, its team had to fight for the victory to the bitter end and up to the eighth inning Hen-, derson money was very shaky. At the beginning of the sixth Raleigh was five and Henderson had to be content with a large and juicy "0," but in the sixth inning Taylor weakened and Henderson succeeded in tieing ''the score before the fatal ninth had closed. Two more innings were played, Hen derson winning in the ... eleventh, The score was 11 to 10. The team has several excuses, etc., but says it will "let that pass." The boys are waiting for 'em the return trip. - The state Sunday school association has elected the following officers,: President, N. B. Broughton, of Ral eigh. Treasurer, J. H.

Richardson died late yesterday af ternoon at his home, west of t'je city limits. He was 0.1 years of age and was born iu Richmond, Vn .. and lived there and at IVl.-i loirr. lie (Mine here just bef.-re the war, .mil occu pied several positions in the i-apitol. He was private secretary to Gov. Holden and clerk in the often of state treasurer and .s;ureinry of state. After wards he was in the newspaper busi ness. For live years he was editor of the weekly Era here, and for twelve year he was editor of the Kvexiho Vimitok. For a few years he lived at Greensboro and was on the editorial staff of the North State, published there. Last spring he became city editor of the Evening Press and was in that position when he (.tied. Col. Richardson was a man of kind nature and was particularly true and devoted to his friends, who fully re ciprocated his feelings. He wrote well and had a large acquaintance with public men, gained daring his long official and newspaper work. His last illness was of only about ten days' duration, but for a long time his health had been quite feeble. He was worn out, and death was the result of nervous prostration. He leaves a de voted wife and three children, Mr. Walter C. Richardson, Mrs. II. W. Crocker, and Willie R. Richardson. His funeral was held this afternoon from the First Baptist church, Rev. Dr, J. W. Carter officiating. THE ROAD CONFERENCE. The Proceedings of the Meeting Last Evening. Last evening the road conference resumed its session, in the senate chamber, Dr. R. II. Lewis presiding Various topics laid down on the pro gramme were discussed, the speakers being Messrs. McMackin, D. W. C Benbow, of Guilford; J. A. Holmes, R. H. Battle, B. P. Williamson and R. H Lewis, Rev. Mr. Cobb, of Chatham; W, L. Kennedy, of Lenoir; Mr. Wiley Rush, of Randolph; Mr. S. J. Tally, of Chatham, and others. The following resolutions were adopted: "That in view of the great need of trained engineers and road supervisors to take charge of the road improve ment work in North Carolina, we ask the State university, the A. & M. col lege and the other colleges in the State to give as much instruction as practicable in studies relating to this subject." "Whereas, the North Carolina road improvement association, which has recently been organized, is by distri buting literature on the subject, by organizing branch associations in every county of the State, and in other ways endeavoring to arouse greater and more intelligent interest in the im provement of the public highways." "Resolved, That this conference ap preciates and commends this impor tant work of the North Carolina road improvement association, and that it asks the county commissioners of every county, and the mayors of the several cities and towns, the boards of trade, the State and county agricultural so cieties, and all other industrial asso ciations in the State to send' delegates to the annual meeting of the associa tion to be held, in the'eity of Charlotte, September 12th and 13th next. , Yesterday's Races. The Visitor went to press yesterday while the third race, free-for-all, was in progress. But, as predicted, Clip pep won easily, Cock Robin ' second, Maggie Watkins third, in straight heats. Time 2:28 1-2, 2:31 14, 2:28. Clipper has a record of 2:24 and with the right sort of driving could have made the mile in 2:20 but was "pull ed." Cock Robin was also pulled, and in the second heat his driver kept hint behind Clipper while the latter jogged along, ijhis caused a great deal of complaint and the judges took action. They fined Peay and Biggs $5 each. Peay acknowledged that he and Biggs had agreed not to "distance" Maggie Watkins. It is the opinion of many that the punishment ought to have been six months sus pension, certainly of Biggs, The-judges were not strict enough. Many of the horsemen and race-lovers want judges from other states. Mtu. Carter, of Richmond, was asked to be here, but had an engagement and could not come. He will be here at the state fair. There has nearly alway been "jockeying" at the races here, and it 1 certainly ought to be stopped. ABOUT PROMINENT NORTH CAROLINIANS- People Who Come, People Who go and People You Know.

Under the design will be these words "Let us build a church worthy of ourselves, worthy of our profession of faith, and to the glory of God." Some Plain Talk People. to Raleigh It is a lamentable fact that the peo. pie of Raleigh showed so little inter est iu the August races, or if they had the interest, were so lo.ith to part with a small part of their money. The association, which has for its ob ject iu holdiug these race-meets the improvement of blooded stock in the state aud encouragement for people to engage in the raising and improve ment of fine stock, is certainly en titled to a fair share of encourage- ment ana support, the entire num ber of tickets sold for both days rac ing will certainly not exceed 4(K) aud this is surely a mean and paltry re turn for all that the gentlemen com posing the association have done, aud the trouble, time aud expense to which they have gone in attempting to make the races interesting and suc cessful. Laying all other considera tions aside, the advantage to be gained by all classes of business men in Ral eigh by making the races popular and by enabling the association to con tinue them is very great, that is in cold hard, cash. In the same rations the races are encouraged and patro nized will the races improve both in the number of entries, size of purses and last, but. by no means leant, in the contests furnished the public. It fol lows clearly that, as the races increase in interest aud value, the attendance from other points will follow, and with hearty support, iu three years at least, the Aiigust-ces will attract a crowd of 5,000 persons to this city. The work for this year has been done. The gentlemen composing the associa tion have given some good racing and Ra'eigh has given them about as meagre and paltry a support as should be given to the traveling "dago" and his "monk." It is to be hoped that the association, shabbily treated as it has been, will give the people of Raleigh one more chance and that they, on their part, will see the error of their way and never re peat it. A Baseball Challenge.

The funeral took place from the church of the Good Shepherd at'3:30 this afternoon. Mr, Taylor was a native of Raleigh, but lately had been livinsr in Argle, Ga.; the cause of death was consumption. Torbell's cream cheese at TUHNER & WfNNE'3, F LAT on the Floor.: You want a car pet of some kind this fall. You may want more than one; but listen to me once in your life, Don't buy the car pets until our new ones come. : The tariff bill has passed and carpets are reduced wonderfully. We have been waiting for the passage of this bill so we have not bought any carpets. Most merchants went straight on and bought carpets and had them shipped ritrht out regardless of the tarift and they will try to argue you into believ ing the tariff don t affect carpets right away. This is not true. In 10 days from day of passage it goes into effect and you can save one quarter of the price of your carpet if you let good sense prevail. We will have a stock of carpets such as you rarely see Our buver is to. go to New York this week for carpets.
