FLAT on the Floob. 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
right out regardless of the tariff and
thev will trv to Arirne vnn intn huliuc.

Mrs Mary Cram Did Not Want
the Papers Served Mr. Cram
Is now In the City.
Mrs. Mary Cram, from Canada, who
is no here, claiming to be the wife of
Mr. W. C. Cram, of the firm of Allen
ft Cram, yenterday seems to have
weakened in her purpose of having
warrants for fornication and adultery
served on Mr. Cram and his wife, Mrs.
KittiesCrain. Justice Ro erls yester
day sent t Mrs. Cram for the war
rants that they might be pla -. in the
hands of the sheriff to serve. She
flatly refused to give t li em up and
justice Unbelts then notified her that
he would hold her in contempt of court
if she did not give them up. Upon
this she sent back the papers, al
though she seemed very unwilling to
do so.
Mr. Cram did not, as stated in a pa
per yesterday, return tbem. He arrived
this morning alone and immediately
went to the court house so that any
papers against him might be served.
Sheriff Page served the warrants upon
him. Mr. Cram desires to make a full
statement, but has been advised by
his counsel, F. H. Busbee, Esq., not
to have anything to say for publica
tion until the matter conies up for
trial.
Mr. Busbee was seen by a reporter
this afternoon and said that while Mr.
Cram does not doubt that he is the fath
er of young Mr. Cram he emphatically
denies ever having married his mother.
He has supported and educated the
young man from infancy and has at
differeut times sent money to his
mother. He claims that when a mere
boy he was entrapped into an alliance
with the woman claiming to be Mrs.
Cram No. 1 that has been a source
of trouble to him for twenty years
Mr. Cram's friends here have all stood
by him in his trouble and express
themselves as confident that he will
show clearly, when the case comes to
trial, that there has been nothing
criminal in his actions. After his
graduation from college young Cram
wrote his father an urgent letter, say
ing that if he had the money to go to
Nova Scotia he could obtain a lucrative
position and become independent. Mr
Cram thereupon sent him a sum of
money which he used to pay his and
his mother's expenses here.
A gentleman here, who has for a
long time been intimately acquainted
with Mr. Cram, assures the Visitob
that there is no doubt that the latter
was legally married to Mrs. Kittie
Cram.
Mrs. Mary Cram has begun pro
ceedings against Mr. Cram and "Kit
tie Coe alias Kittie Cram." The pa
pers are filed with the clerk of the
superior court.
Mr. Cram is registered at the Park
hotel. He was seen by the Visitor
reporter this afternoon. He received
him pleasantly but refused to make
any statement, saying he was in the
hands of his attorney.
At the Colleges-
Trinity college opened today under
particularly auspicious circumstances,
One hundred and forty-two students
matriculated yesterday and many
more are daily coming in. President
Winston of the university, in a letter
to a gentleman here, written yesterday,
says the number of students is large
and that 50 are coming in on every
train. Wake Forest had about 175
students the first day. Thus far there
are 75 new students at the agrieultu
ral and mechanical college. Three
are from Virginia, two are from New
York, and one from South Carolina
It is strange that while the country is
crying out about hard times the col
leges should be so well attended. ..

Gen. Lane's Important Mission
in Virginia
It is learued froiu an Alabama pa
per that general James A. Lane left
Auburn, Ala., on Tuesday for Vir
ginia to take part in locating the po
sitions of his troops on two Virginia
battlefields. Gen Lane left at the in
vitation of Col. Aug. C. Hamlin, of
Bengor, Me.,' historian of the eleventh
army corps. He will join a party
of federal and confederate offi
cers on a visit to the battle fields
of Frederii ks'mrg and Chancellors-
ille. Gen. Lane was a conspicuous
figure iu both these battles, and his
presence is especially desired at
Chancellorsville, that he may desig
nate the position of hid line on the
right in Jackson's fiank movement
when his gallant North Carolinians
repulsed Sickles' for nidable midnight
flank attack and took from him a num
ber of prisoners and the colors of the
Third Maine regiment.

They intended to kill the guards and
take their weapons, kill the guard on
