Raleigh did not feel the storm much. There is no regret at its failure to be felt here. As yet nothing is being done with regard to the cracked and dingy ceil ing of the market. The Carolina cotillion club will meet this evening at 8 o'clock in the city clerk's office. The streams in this section are not high. There are fears of freshets in the larger rivers in the state. It is proposed to have a philharmonic club here. Tenyearsago there wasa strong one. The plan is to have a fine orchestra and a large chorus. The executive committee of the state fair meets this evening to consider the question of having fireworks there. The cross ties and rails for the street car line on South McDowell street have been laid for one square from West Martin street. The farmers have not as yet re ported on the- extent of the injury to cotton by this week's trying weather No doubt there is considerable injury. At the Raleigh cotton mills late yes terday afternoon, Jim Bishop, one of the laborers in the mill, was ascending a step-ladder and lost his foot-hold, fell andjwas very seriously hurt. Mr. J. N. Hubbard desires that all young men who have heretofore been members of his class at the Baptist tabernacle Sunday school will meet him in the reunion of classes next Sunday morning. A telegram from Philadelphia today says that a very dangerous operation was successfully performed upon Dr. W. J. Hawkins. His wife, his brother, Dr A. B. Hawkins, his son, Mr. Colin Hawkins, and Dr. Hubert Haywood are with him. Part of the county convict force is at work macadamizing the Milburnie road near Manly's bridge across Crab tree creek. The remainder of the force is on the Hillsboro road, which is being made a fine thoroughfare and is being prepared for macadamization The 214 cadets at the A. & M. col lege were today measured for their new uniforms, which are to be of Char lottesville Jjray. The coats are sack cut, with concealed buttons and the college initials embroided on the col lar. E. W. Carr, Esq., attorney for the Atlantic Coast Line, is here. He says that the negro who had such a mir aculous escape from being killed on that road while stealing a ride, was now perfectly well and suffering no .bad effects from his terrible experience It will be remembered that the Visitor was the first paper in the state to pub lish the facts of this occurence and its account was extensively published, in many North Carolina and South Caro lina papers.

Yites arrived from Durham this afternoon. Mr. S. Otho Wilson, county chair man of tlje populist party, Las opened headquarters in tnis city. A NARROW ESCAPE. A Gentleman Has a Startling Experience. Last evening about dusk a gentle man who lives in this city, was splash ing along through the mud and water on East Uargett street, about half way between South Wilmington and South Blount, when he noticed that the water was steadily gettiug deeper. He did not think much of it and plashed on through the darkness un til he suddenly found himself stand ing knee deep in a whirling current of water which threatened every min ute to take him off his feet. Under these circumstances the gentleman concluded that it was best to tarn ak and started to do so. As he turned and took his first step he sud denly found himself floundering in a rushing torreLt in which he could feel no bottom and felt himself stead- ly carried away. He is a good swim- mer. ior ten minutes, proDaoiy, ne battled with the raging waters until finally, as he was nearly exhausted, he struck something. It was a gate post. He was saved. This morning a placard was stuck up which read, Danger Ahead. Mud and Water." THE WEATHER. The Conditions and the Fore cast For North Carolina: Rain today, and on the coast tonight, followed by fair, probably warmer Saturday af ternoon. Local forecast for Kaleign and vicinity: Saturday fair, warmer. Local data for 24 hours ending 8 m. today: Maximum temperature 69; minimum temperature 64; rainfall 1.21. The storm is now central off the North Carolina coast. It has decreased in energy. The barometer has risen at all stations in the immediate vicin ity of the storm. It is apparently moving slowly off to the northeast. Ihe weather is generally clear except in the Atlantic st ates. An area of low barometer in the northwest is causing southerly winds and warm weather throughout the west. Fire Insurance Re-Rating. The special "rater" of the south eastern tariff association has re-rated all the buildings here, and has re turned to Atlanta to make his report From an agent here it is learned that he has reduced the rate on most of the risks, taking as his basis the rate fixed a few months ago and which aroused so much indignation. In some cases the rate is advanced. All are given an opportunity to improve the risks and thus lesson the rate of insurance. Improved Road Machinery. Prof. Holmes, state geologist, is deeply interested in road improve ment and he and Mr. McMackin hare arranged for a display at the state fair of all kinds of road-iinproving machinery. This exhibit will be made bv a number of manufacturers. It will comprise everything in this line, from a shovel to a steam road-roller, scrapers, etc. A Good Showing. In the September Bulletin of the agricultural department commissioner Robinson says; "From personal ob servation we are fully assured of the fact that, as a class, the farmers of North Carolina are in better condition as to produce in store, preparation for future crops and as to cash in hand than those of any other state, with the exception possibly of Pennsylvania." Making Trousers- It is said that a new trousers factory is soon to be started here. The old factory, operated by Woolcott and son, has lately been enlarged. Its ca pacity is now from 109 to 200 pairs of trousers a day. Abont twenty per sons are employed there at preaent. SUPERIOR COURT. Today's Cases. The DocketStead ily Diminishing. Yesterday afternoon the jury on the raw of Charles Brown, charged with attempted assault on an old white wo. man, 84 years old, brought in a ver dict of gailty. Judgment was reserv ed. At this morning's session the first case to come up was state vs. "Mingo" rpchurch, assault. The plaintiff in the case was Amanda Hall, a colored woman who lives near the "Bowery," She claimed that "Mingo" cursed her vehemently an 1 attempted to strike her with a stick. Taking "Mingo's" testimony he was almost Chesterfield ian in his conduct on that occasion. Each charged the other with being ex ceedingly drank and the evidence to gether with the counter arguments of Messrs. Perrin Btisbee who prose cuted and Harry Ihrie, who appeared for the defendant, made quite a com plicated case. "Mingo" has served his time in the penitentiary and the haracter of none of the witnesses was entirely alabaster. The jury after some delibertion found the defendant guilty. Judgment was reserved. Later in the day Upchurch was ar raigned on the charge of perjury, committed in the magistrate's trial. This case was being argued at 4 30 o'clock. The next case that came up of any interest was state vs. Osburn Brown, a colored sport, for keeping a gaming table. Osburn saw clearly that the 'game" was up and, thinking discre tion to be the better part of valor, plead guilty. This proved a good in vestment for him as judgment was suspended on payment of costs. James Hawkins, colored, who got nto a fight and split Ben. Curtis' head with an an axe and then perjured himself on his preliminary trial be fore mayor Badger, was tried on the 'barge of perjury and found guilty by the iury. Judgment was reserved. State vs Wilson Fa icett, larceny and receiving; guilty; prayer for judgment continued on payment of costs. State vs O. J. Pickett, forgery and false pretense; (2 cases); guilty; judg ment reserved. On motion, Mr. John Bond, Jr., was sworn in and admitted to practice in the courts of North Carolina. "Dolly" Jones, burglary, was ar raigned today and his counsel, A. B. Andrews, Jr.. plead "not guilty" for him. No time has been set for the trial. The Ralph Fisher Concer t. The first rehearsal for this grand concert was held last evening at the blind institution, despite the inclement weather. The next will be held Mon day evening at 8:15 o'clock at the blind institution. All who are to take part are asked to be present. The music has arrived and is beautiful. This concert promises to be one of the finest ever given in this city. The best local talent participate, besides some from abroad. It will render in strumental solos, duets, trios and quartettes, also recitations, readings, impersonations, etc. The date of the concert will be given later. It is given to raise funds to help Ralph Fisher, a blind boy, in finishing hismusical edu cation. He is possessed of great tal ent and a musical education is one of the few means by which he would be able to support himself. Italian Visitors. Signor Landi and Signor Piaggio of New York are here, the guests of Mr. A. Dughi. It will be remembered that some ago Mr. Dughi went to New York for the purpose of inducing the better class of Italian grape-growers to immigrate to this state. Messrs Landi and Riaggio come to look over the ground and report their observa tions. If their report is satisfactory it is said that many of the better class of fruit-growers will immigrate to North Carolina. These gentlemen this morning called at the capitol and had a chat with the governor. "Our Young Men" Is the subject upon which president Kilgo, of Trinity college is to speak this evening in the Sunday school rooms of Edenton street M. E. church W. P. Wood & Son will sell Octo ber 1st 180 head of fine horses. See their notioe elsewhere. AT TIIEASYLUM. The Insane Greatly Enjoy the Music and the Dance. For many years the best patients of the insane asylum hate looked for ward with almost childish pleasure to the dances, which are given twice a week. I'p to the. past month or two these have been given in the sewing room, but now they are given in the beautiful dining room in the as yet unoccupied new building ou the smith wing. A Visitor reporter attended the dance Wednesday eveuiug and en joyed it greatly. To most persons, who have never seen the insane at a dance, it would appear that their behavior might be boisterous or even rude. But not so; for it would do credit to very many people of unquestioned sanity. There was excellent music, by Miss Ada C. Kelley and Messrs. W. II. King, J. A. Tucker, J. C. Davenport, D. L. Adams aud W. R. Crawford, Jr., on piano, violins and cornet. The dances are "square." There were 100 of the patients in the handsome room, with about a dozen of the male and female attendants, aud some ladies and gentlemen from the city. It was "men's night," and the majority were males, but over a dozen of the best female patients participated. This is a new feature of these assemblies aud is found to be a great success. All were well dressed, and it was excess ively difficult for an outsider to distin guish the patients from the attendants. All danced merrily, the visitors "trip ping the measures" with zest. Among the patients in the room was a man who murdered his wife and two chil dren, while in an insane frenzy. He seemed to be ia good spirits, as he sat beside and talked to a man who was a merchant, but became insane from overwork recently. One man, who for three years has been ' a patient, was chatting gayly. He talked more last evening than he had done in three years. J ue cause or tuis was that a female patient, who is from the same jonnty, met him at this dance and lit erally "drew him out." The effect upon him was distiuctly beneficial One female patient, very tall and slender, is a noted jig dancer and fa vored the assemblage with a line dis play of her skill. ' : Superintendent Kirby, acting assis tant physician Cobb, and Mrs, Whita- ker, the matron, were all present. Friday evenings the female patients have their dances, aud at these some if the best male patients participate. hie ixsanFasylum Two New Assistant Physicians Elected. The directors of .the insane asylum met yesterday to elect an assistant and second assistant physicians to succeed Dr. Fuller, deceased, and Dr. Cobb, resigned. All the board were present save Dr. Saunders, of Carteret. As first assistant the board elected Dr. Dr. J. A. Faison, of Mt. Olive. Dr S. McGeachy, of Fayetteville, was elected second assistant.
