BEFORE THE MAYOR.
APerjury Case.Repentant Fight
ers and One Disorderly.
Mayor Badger had " quite a little
budget to dispose of this morning.
The first case to 1 e settled was the af
fray between Willis and Henderson,
which was postponed from yesterday.
These two may ha c been at odds w ith
each other yesterday but they were
the best of good friends today, sat
side by side before and during the
trial and spoke in subdued tones
about the folly of "foolling around."
Both submitted, Henderson saying he
meant no harm and was only "fool
ing, this cost each f.) anu custb.
As they left the room together Hen
derson exclaimed fervently, "You will
never see me here again, Mr. Mayor."
A colored boy, who used profane
language on the streets, was fined
3 aud costs.
The case of perjury against Jim
Hawkins, which whs reported several
days ago in the Visitor, came up, and
after reviewing the evidence mayor
Badger'bonnd him over to court. Being
unable to furnish bail, Jim had to go to
jail.
Policeman Matt. Jones, who was se
verely cut oil the head day before yes
terday while trying to make an arrest,
was unable to come down town this
morning. On this account the case
against George Savage for resisting
arrest could not be tried, as officer
Joues is the principal witness against
him. Jim Bryant has not yet been
captured but the authorities say they
will have him in a few days.
THE WEATHER.
The Conditions and the Fore
cast. Local forecast: fair, slightly warmer
Saturday. Local data for 24 hours end
ing 8 a.m. today: Maximum tempera

ing the day and Saturday will be
slightly warmer. The weather is gen
erly clear and cool this morning. Very
little rain has occurred anywhere since

Political Notes.
Last evening at the session of the
state convention of democratic clubs
at the academy of music the audience
was a large one, many ladies attend
ing. A permanent organization was
effected, Francis D. Winston of Ber
tie county being made chairman and
B. C. Beckwith secretary. The plat
form adopted is that of the last state
democratic convention. A resolution
was unanimously adopted endorsing
the Nicaragua canal, which was so
earnestly favored by ex-governor
Black in his address. Lawrence Gard
iner followed Black and was in turn
followed by senator Jarvis, while Hon.
C. H. Mansur of Missouri made the
closing address.
Next Monday's Event.
Mr. Thomas W. Keene this season
has not made the mistake, so common
to many gifted actors, of grouping
about him a very inferior company.
He has engaged some of the most ac
complished artists in the profession,
among whom are Edwin Arden, Frank
Hennig, Carl Ahrendt, Thomas Eagle
son, Lawrence Lowell, Lillian Law
rence, Juliette Downs, Genevieve Bea
man and Mrs. S. A. Barker. "Hamlet"

evening will rank among the leading
memories of those who hear him. The

DEATH BEFORE DISGRACE-
A Delinquent Postmaster Kills Himself.
Spkinokibld, Mo., September 20. A
deputy United States marshal was dis
patched to Mayflower, to place under
arrest J. S. Little, postmaster, charged
with opening and extrading $40 from
a registered letter pi-kage. The
deputy marshal returned today, with
the warrant unserved. On arriving
at his destination the officer at once
notified the delinquent postmaster of
his mission. Little betrayed no sur
prise, and in an indifferent manner
requested permission to change his
clothes for a more presentable garb
before being taken to Springfield. To
this assent was given, and he soon
appeared in a dress suit and carrying
a Bible in his hand. Handing the
book to the deputy, he said :
" This is my last will and testament,
and, knowing that I will be a dead
man within two hours, I swear upon
it that I am innocent."
Before the officer could recover from
the surprise occasioned by the remark
able speech, Litt'e threw himself on a
bed in the room and stabbed himself
in the abdomen, inflicting a mortal
wound. The nearest physician was
seven miles away, and before he could
be summoned Little bled to death.

TOBACCO TALK.
Good Breaks and Good Prices
Portend a Prosperous Season.
The leaf-tobacco busiuess seems at
last to have attained a good footing in
Raleigh. The season has opened un
der auspicious circumstances ami bus
iness is brisk. If Raleigh's business
men will only take enough iuterest in
and help push and encourage this in
dustry, as it is certaiuly to their iu
terest to do, there is no reason why
Raleigh in a few years should not .e
made as good and as prosperous a to
bacco mart as there is in North Caro
lina. The Visitor reporter called at the
Farmers' warehouse this morning and
found Messrs. Fleming and Love both
jubilant over the outlook for a good
season. The breaks have been unus
ually line ever since the season open
ed, last Tuesday, and the prices are
good. Fanners are beginning to see
that it is to their advantage to sell on
this market and today there were wag
ons from Wake, Franklin and ( hat
ham. The breaks today amounted to
15,000 pounds and averaged, as they
have all the season, aljoiit 16 a hun
dred pounds. The highest-priced lot
sold this season brought $75. The to
bacco sold has mostly been of excel
lent quality and buyers have opened
their eyes and got, down to business.
The prices per pound vary from 10 to
60 cents.
The above is an excellent showing
and it is encouraging to seethe tobii.
o business here. The tobacco men
say that this is only the beginning aud
that the encouraging opening of the
season is but an earnest of what is to
come. It is to be hoped they are
right. Raleigh is spendidly situated
for a tobacco market, being in touch
with the finest tobacco district in this
country. The reason it is not a great
market is simply lack of "push," and
it seems now as if the "push" was
about to materialize.
