The ule last night blew down a few chimneys and trees. The new fast car on the ele -trie line was on the run to-day. The cotton receipts amounted prac tically to nothing today. One convict was brought to the pen itentiary today from Robeson county. There is a rumor that Raleigh is to have another morning paper. The bright weather today was a source of delight to city and country people alike. The work of altering the lobby of the Yarboro house was commenced this morning. All the street cars are to be painted alike. The color will be yellow, with green trimmings. Epworth chapel weekly prayer meet- in r service, for this week, will be held Fr day evei. ng next, commencing ai V30. The street car company will have all the work it can do to get its line ompleted to the union depot by the beginning of the fair.

Dr. Carter Thurs day, afternoon at 4 o'clock. This morning, little Bennett Bobbitt, son of Dr. W. H. Bobbitt, was run over by an ox team. Though the wheels passed over his leg he was very slightly hurt. It is said ly those who have seen Nellie McHeury that she has the inest company on the road. She ap pears at the academy music next Mon- iay evening. Deputy sheriff Overly yesterday orought here from Vance county Bob Jones, a colored man, for assault. He was arrested on a warrant issued by justice Harry Rcberts. The rain Las greatly injured the quality of the cotton. The damage in this respect is greater than the loss by beating it out of the bolls, though the latter is large. A letter from T. C. Milliken, repub lican candidate for congress in this district, denies positively the rumor that he is .about to retire. In his letter he gives notice of some appoint ments, among them one at Raleigh. Manager Keeler has ordered six of the improved controllers for the street cars similar to the one on the new high speed car. The beauty of this con troller is that it is well nigh an im possibility to burn it out. Capt. B. P. Williamson is making out the list of horses which will be sold at the next sale, Nov. 8 and 9. There will be at least 100. He says that in the matter of breeding and in dividuality of horses the sale will ex cel any ever held this side of Ken tucky.. '; - Mr. T. B. Moseley's admirably trained and gieatly valued dog 'Maud" died last night after many hours of suffering from a disease which was unlike anything ever seen here. A surgical examination will be made. " The Oregon horse is no longer seen en the streets. For several days it was an hourly sight to see a countryman astride one of these fiery steeds, con cerning wildly op and down the. streets TheOregon ponies are splendid buckers but most of them will soon be tugging painfully at the plow. Farmers say that the rise of water in the river; and creeks throughout the county caused by the recent rains is the .greatest in six years. Much low land is flooded. A great deal of damage has resulted to corn and an picked cotton. ' THE STORM. It Appears to Have Been Most Severe at Southport. Last evening at 8 o'clock the wind here was blowing from the northaest, whitest Wilmington it v as blowing from the southwest. At tli.it time the centre of the storm was between here and Wilmington. Not luug after 8 the wind shifted here and blew from the northwest. At 10 o'clock the highest velocity was reached, this be ing 30 miles an hour. These facts are learned from weather observer Von Herrmann. He says the total rainfall up to this morning was 3.42 inches. The storm wis most severe at South port, it seems. A special telegram from there to the Charlotte Observer says: "The severest wind and rain storm of the season prevailed here to day, the wind blowing in gusts at a velocity ranging I etween 40 and 80 miles an hour, Shortly after noon the Odd Fellows' building was blown down. The loss amounts to $1,000. No damage was done shipping in the harbor. Heavy seas are rolling out side and the wind is still blowing hard tonight, veering to westerly." It was feared that much damage would be done to the railways in the way of washouts. But this morning news came in of only two of these; one on the Carolina Central railway, east of Hamlet; the other on the (.'ape Fear and Yadkin .Valley railway between Fayetteville and Sanford. Great freshets are expected in the lower Cape Fear and Roanoke within 48thours. On the latter river great dam age will probably be done, and the corn crop at the penitentiary farms will no doubt suffer. Deputy sheriff C. R. Blackwell, who came in from Barton's Creek town ship today, said that the storm had done great damage in that section. l'he creeks are all higher than they were ever before knowii to be. All the lowlands are flooded and the loss of corn is very great. Cotton, he said, had not suffered much in his section, as the wind was not very high. Several bridges have been washed away, among them the bridge at Whitaker's mill, known as "Powdtr mill." A Raleigh doctor who had oc casion to cross Crabtree todaysaid that the water on either side came up into his carriage and that the water was probably within two inches of the floor of the covered bridge. THE WEATHER. The Conditions and the Fore cast. The storm is now central near Philadelphia. It has increased somewhat in force. Gales are blowing on the New England coaNt. The weather has cleared throughout the south. It is also clear throughout the west. Frost occurred last night at several stations in the Missippi valley; killing frost at Meridian and Cincinnati. The center of high pres sure is over Nebraska, where the weather is clear and cold. For North Carolina: Fair, cooler Thursday morning. Local forecast for Raleigh and vicinity : Thursday, fair. Light frost Thursday morning. Local data for 24 hours ending 8 a. m. today: Maximum temperature 59; minimum temperature 46; rainfall 3.42., An Oxford Sensation. The Oxford Ledger says R. P. Hughes, of that town, has suddenly disappeared. For some time he was in charge of the register's office. It is stated that he is said to have appro priated some old county orders to his own use to the amount of several hun dred dollars, and there is great deal of crookedness talked of in his man agement of affairs of the office, and prosecution is staring him in the face All will See the Circus. Main's circus shows here on the 17th The Braddock, Pa,,. Herald says : " After witnessing the magnificent street parade of the Walter L. Main's monster shows there was bat one ver diet, and that was that if the parade was any indication of the worth of the circus it mast be a first class one, and such it proved to be. From the time you entered the big menagerie tent until ydu left the mammoth circus it was a continuation of marvelous and heretofore unseen acts." PERSONAL POINTS.
