DOTS AND DASHES MADE- ABOUT TODAY'S HAPPEN INGS. Items Gathered In and Around the City. Mr. John Ross is building a cottage in Idlewild. Interest appears to ventre in the court bouse these days. This morning the painting of the interior of the market began. The news today that a hurri ane was on its was not very cheering. Rev. J. M. Wood will preach at the Fayetteville street Baptist church this evening. Daniel.Frobrhan's fine play, "Jane," will be presented at the academy of music Oct. 5. A check for $21.05 has ben sent by the Durham Light Infantry to the soidiers' home. There were only about ten dele gates present at the county prohibi tion convention today. The cotton receipts today, iu spite of the tool weather, were unusually heavy and the exchange was crowded. Dr. A. B. Hawkins left this after noon for Philadelphia in response to a telegram from his brother, Dr. . J, HawkiiiH. The "St. Luke and Willing" circles of the King's Daughters today opened a home fer incurables at Xo. 213 E. South street. - This morning Dr. Cobb, acting as sistant physician, while riding a bicycle at the insane asylum fell and broke an arm. Sheriff McCaull, of Caldwell, brought three convicts to the penitentiary to day; sheriff Williams, of Pitt, one, and sheriff Wilcox, of Pasquotank, three. Mrs. Hayes, city missionary, requests all parents and children having old school books to send them to her at the mission room, iu order that she may start children to school who are unable to buy books. A dav or two aaro a ladv who lives in the southern part of the city saw in her garden . something which she thought was a stu;k. It moved and she gave the alarm and when persons reached her they found the supposed stick, was a very large niguiana mot casin. It is said that the health of Dr. W. R. Wood, who not long ago resigned as superintendent of the insane asy. lum, is not good, and that lor this reason he resigned as a director, the vacancy thus caused being tilled by the appointment of R. Brown, of Weldon. It is intimated that Dr. Cobb, of Goldsboro, who so ably tilled the posi tion of second assistant physician at the insane asylum, will be elected hrt assistant to succeed the late Dr. h. 1 Fuller. Up to two years ago Dr Fuller was paid . $2,400 a year, but then was, at his request, paid only $1,200, on account of his failing health and his inability to do so much work as formerly. Fun at "Our Uncle's." A lively scrap occurred this morn ing at the shop of the "three golden balls." Several times during the morning a man, a good deal the worse for "corn licker, ' called at the shop and abused the proprietors for sell ing a piece of property he had fut in "soak. Finally he came in and ap plied a vile epithet to Mr. Williams who promptly knocked the gentleman down. The gore was wiped from the gentleman's 'nose and he was sent home to his thoughts and his wife. Japanese War Ships on aCriuse London, Sept. 25. The Shanghai correspondent of the Central News says : "It is reported that the Japa nese war ships have left the the Tai Yantau station. Their destination unknown.

NcIhiiii Faucett, colored, tried to play a bold grab game this morning. Nelson wan in tue back part of ;. ick Deboy's grocery store, on N. North street, and at a moment when he thought he was unobserved grabbed a sack of flour and scooted. He went out the back of the store, through De wy' saloon, and thence through an alleyway to Wilmington Htreet, where he ran into the a inn of a policeman, who had run around the corner to in tercept 111 in . He was arrested and he and the sack of flour, as a dumb wit ness, were lodged in the station house. raucett was drunk when he committed the theft. The trial will probably iine off this afternoon. Average October Weather. The following data, compiled from the weather bureau records here will prove of value and interest in antici pating the more important meteoro logical elements for the month of October. The mean or normal tern perature is 58 degrees; the warmest month was that of 1890, with an aver age of 60 degrees; the coldest that of 1888, with an average of 56 degreesjthe highest temperat ure was 88 degrees, m the 5th, in 1891: the lowest 31 de- groes, on tue 3Utn and 31st, in 18H3. rhe average date on which the first killing" trost occurs in autumn is UctoDer 10. ine average rainfall for the month is 4 37 inches. The greatest monthly precipitation was 10 23 inches, in 1887. The least, was 0.53 inches, in 1892. The greatest amount of pre cipitation recorded in any 24 consecu tive hours was 4.18 inches, on the 31st, in 1887. The greatest amount of snow fall recorded in any 24 consecutive hours was a trace on the 31st, in 1887 Two Alleged Murderers. George Mills and Ransom Brodie, two murderers, were both in court this morning and sat side by side. Brodie looked fresh and unconcerned whil the oonflneineut Mills has undergone has told on him a good deal. He is a repulsive looking object as he sits gloomingly in court and stares vacant ly with his almost sightless eyes. His scraggy, unkempt hair and beard and grinning mouth give his face an idiotic and hideous look. Messrs. Perrin Uusbee and William B. Snow, who re cently obtained license to prac cice law, will start their professional career by defending Brodie. Pulpit Sensations In New York Lat Sunday a clergyman, named Wilson, noted for his denunciation of th police, was greatly "surprised'' by the appearance of two young men who interrupted the services by walk ing to the pulpit and handing him two bottle of whiskey purchased, ac cording to him, in a ginmill "owned by the wife of the superintendent of police and conducted by a grand jury man." Sent on to Court. D. E. Hicks, a young white man, who was yesterday afternoon ar raigned before mayor Badger, charged with altering the prices on cotton tickets, was given another hearing to day. His counsel waived examination and the young man, who is from Panther Branch township, was bound over for his appearance at the present term of court. An Able Speaker. President Kilgo of Trinity college delivered an address at the Sunday school room of Edenton street M. E. church, before its Epworth league, day after tomorrow evening. His sub jtct will be "Our young men." tThe league tenders him a reception, and it is at this he is to speak. He is a fine orator and is making a marked im pression. The Fuller Trial. Rockingham, N. C, Sept. 25. In the trial of E. J. Fuller for the murder of Parker at Fayetteville, the state resumed its evidence. The defendant was put in the wit ness chair. He made a good impress ion, giving substantially the same evi dence as before, except as to" a rib be ing broken and a knot on his neck, discovered since he last trial. He has some new witnesses. Opinion geems to. be largely iu favor of the prisoner, and that the jury will ac quit. It is generally thought that the state's case is not as strong as at the last trial, and the defendant's much stronger. Large crowds of ladies at tend the trial and public interest is great. V The Carolina cotillion club will meet this evening lit 8 p. m. In the city olerk'a office. A fall attendance is desired as a constitution and by laws are to be adopted. PERSONAL MINTS.

Yesterday afternoon after the Vi.-i- ToR had gone to press one case was disponed of, this being that of state k Jo-f Graham, colored, larceny; guilti-; fiv years oil the roads. The case of state vs Albert "Blake larceny, was then taken up. All the testimony was taken yesterday after noon and the rase postponed until this morning. It appeared from the viilen.e that Blake, who proved an excellent chara-ter, was the ictiiu of a malicious prosecution by a colored man named Hawkins, who keeps a stall in the market house. It seems that Blake was sent by Mr. W. II. Rogers, for whom he clerks, to buy some chickens for a customer. He testified tint he purchased the chick ens from Hawkins' little son, v. ho fol lowed lilaKe to Rogers' store for the money. Mr. Rogers told him to tell his father that he would pay him the money on Monday morning. Iu a short while the boy ret iiincd, say ing his father would liaie the money or the chickens. He got neither, as the -hii-kens had already I ecu delivered. Hawkins was probably afraid that the chickens would I e credited on a bill he owed Rogers. The boy testified that Mr. Blake was alone when he got the chickens, but Blake's testimony was substantiated by reliable witness es. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The next case was state vs Charles Denson, assault ly attack from ain ush The rase is probably one of the most complicated that has been tried here. On the night of Mar h 20 Mr. Hamilton T. Jones, who lives near Wake Forest, was shot from ambush, as he was walking along the railroad n his way home, and painfully hurt. From the testimony, Charles Dunston is a most occomplished liar. He has told several different tales. One was that he, with two other colored men, Willie Avery and Wiley Alston, waited for Mr. Jones two nights and that he, hating been hired by Avery, who had had a dispute with Jones, did the shooting; another is that he and Wiley Alston lay in wait and Wiley did the shooting. Still another story is that he and Wiley Alston laid in wait and Wiley's cour age failing, that he did the shooting. Dunston explained his different yarns by saying that he told them "for fun" at the magistrate's trial. Mr. . Jones andWiley Alston botliesti- hed that they had had no diuvulty and Alston established a good ahb The negro, Avery, is probably one of the guilty parties as he has tied the state and had cause for anger against Mr. JoiitH as he had been ejected by Mr. Jones from his store, but Dunston, oy the evidence, is, at least, an acces sory. The state was represented by Messrs. Argo and Harris and the de fendant by A. E. Johnson, Esq. Duns ton was one of the prisoners who broke jail here iu the spring along with Orange Page. Ransom Brodie, charged with the murder ot Jordan vv iggius, near w ase Forest, was arraigned at 4:15 o'clock and plead "not. guilty." His trial is set for Thursday week. PROHIBITIONISTS Held their Convention today and Made Nominaiions. At noon today Wake county's pro hibition convention met at Metropoh tan hall. The attendance was very small", only ten delegates being pres ent. These were Messrs. A. D. Jones M. C. Utley, J, A. Jones, and W. F Jones, of Middle ereek : Sion Hollo- man, J. M. Templeton, and T. Ivey Carv; T. W. House, Rev. A. Uetts, and H. J. Dowell, of Raleigh; T. J Woodall ot Switt creek. Dr. Temple- ton presided and Mr. TV Ivey was sec retary. The committee, on platform was composed of J. A. Jones, Sion Holloman and T. J. Woodall. The platform adopted favors the is sue of all money by the government ; free coinage at 16 to 1 ratio ; demands the suppression of the manufacture, carrying; or the sale of alcoholic bev erages ; favors more economical admin istration of national, state and county government- and reduction of salaries and fees of public officers; favors elec tion of U. S. senators by direct vote of people; favors more liberal support of public schools and demands that prohibition candidates shall vote to appropriate all school money for this purpose only; insists that the party s candidates pledge themselves to fur ther these reforms. Kr. T. Ivey offered a resolution that no nominations be made this year but that prohibitionists vote for men or party who wilt ensure free elections and prevent fraud. The convention tabled this and then nominated the following ticket: For the seuate, T. I.ey; house, Sion Holleman, A. D. Jones and M. C. Utley; sheriff, S. F. Bailey; clerk of superior court, W. A. Taylor; register of deeds, W. F. Jones; treasurer, Wil lis Moring. An . executive committee was ap pointed composed of J. C. Smith, W. F. Smith, W. A. Taylor, A. Carter, IV W. House, A. K.
