- Queer Names of Engines.
: At i recent lecture at the University
Dr. Kemp P. Battle referred to the
names of some of the earliest locomo
tives on the Raleigh and Gaston and
North Carolina railways. He said
the locomotives "were in the popular
imagination, things of life, with strong
individual traits;" hence their names,
Tornado,"."Bpitflre," etc., embodied
to some extent the conceptions of the
people." Gov. Morehead, the presi
dent of the North Carolina railway,
showed his knowledge of the classics
in the names "Ajax," "Ixion," "etc.

he was resting easily and was oat of

THE NEW MARKET
Is Now Finished and Awaits Ac
ceptance by the Aldermen.
The improvements of the market
house have at last been completed and
the remodeled market is now ready for
occupan.y. C Is a pity that it was
not completed and occupied by
fair week but it is better Lite than
never. To one who saw the old eye
sore of a market that for s long was
a disgrace to the city, the sight of the
new, handsome and neatly arranged
market is very gratifying. The floor is
of cement and the ceiling is to be of me
tal. The stalls.which before the work of
improvement commencedwere prol.ably
the the most unsightly affairs in the
city, now present a clean, tidy and at
tractive appearance. The work, al
though it was not done in as short a
time as was hoped, has nevertheless
been done thoroughly, and the remod
eled market is now a building of
w1 iuh Raleigh may well be pleased.
The market will not be opened until
the improvements have been accepted
ly the board of aldermen, which will
be almost immediately.
THEATRICAL NOTES.
The Amusements this Evening
at the Theatres, &c
This evening at the academy of mu
sic "Sweethearts" and "Uncle John"
will be presented.
At Metropolitan hall "Davy Crock
ett. The second performance of the "Van
detta," by Mr. W. R. Ogden's compa
ny at the academy of music last eve
ning was certainly fine Mr Ogden is
an excellent actor. His support, is
certainly good. The play' was cer
tainly appreciated by a fine audience.
The new "Peck's Bad Boy," as pre
sented by the Atkinson comedy com
pany, is said to be as much of an im
provement on its predecessor as it can
possibly be. Gov. Peck's story, so
subversive of all family discipline and
filial affection, is in the hands of cap
able people, and the incidentals, while
they can give the skit no value what
ever as a theatrical performance, serve
to amuse, which is, after all, the real
purpose of the undertaking. It will
be presentsd at the academy of music
next Monday evening.
POLITICAL POINTS.
Mr. Walter A. Montgomery
Writes a Card.
Mr. WalterJA. Montgomery, who
has just been nominated by the
f unionists for associate justice of the
supreme court, will today published
the following card to the public:
"The office of ajudge in North Caro
lina is to construe the laws of the peo
ple as recognized and enacted by them
through their legislative representa
tives. A judge is in no sense a maker
of laws, but an expounder of them.
The test of the fitness for the offi ce
ought to be nprightness of purpose, a
strong sense of justice, with' kindness
of disposition, a good acquaintance
with the law, application to business
and firmness of character in the dis
charge of duty. Other qualities than
these are often encumbrances. I have
entertained and expressed these views
for many years. If a majority of the
people think me qualified for so re
sponsible a position,, and vote for me
and I should be declared elected one
of the justices of our supreme court,
I would feel obliged to them for their
confidence and good will, and serve
the state and its whole people with
the best of my powers."
IState Pair Notes.

THE STATE FAIR.
The Close of the Greatest of all
the Exhibitions.
Perfe. t weather marked the fair
from start to finish aud the exhibit
was as line as the weather. 'J he pro
gram wasadmirably carried out in all
its details.
The Visitor's estimate of the at
tendance yesterday . wax too large.
Twelve thousand was the right fig
ure. There was only one drunken man
on the grounds yesterday. He was
put out an ! then the good order was
complete.
There was only one accident at the
fair, and that was very trilling. A
jockey late yesterday afternoon almost
rode over n little daughter of Mr. P.
W. Dowd. He turned his horse
slightly a i.-4-ahe was barely struck.
One leg was a little bruised.
The balloonist went up at 5:30
while quite a strong w ind was blowing
from the west. The swing of the bal
loon gave the dog ' Fitzsimmons" a
great whirl through the air, the sling
which held him broke and he fell
about 125 feet. He fell among the
crowd. Three of his legs were broken.
He lived about a minute. It is to I e
hoped that this will put an end to Lai
loon ascensions so far as dogs are con
cerned. The balloonist must have been unj
nerved by the fall of the dog, for he
did not detach his parachute, but
came dowu with the balloon. He
reached the earth apparently half
a mile from the grounds. There were
rumors that one of his legs was bro
ken. Those who were watching him
saw the balloon fall were slowly and
all touch the ground lightly.
President Carr said today that the
next fair will last ten days.
The num'ier of persons at the
grounds today was 2,500.
yesterday's races.

President Julian S. Carr pledges
himself that, the next fair shall sur
pass this one. Every enterprising
man in Raleigh should aid in holding
up his hands. The business mm here
did well at this fair; next year they
can do even better.
THE PROPER THING.

The Same Win. Challenged Lmper..r
William.
New V., uk, Oct. 2.". A crank, aud
one of note, called this morning on
Dr. Joseph Bryant, where president
Cleveland is slopping, and demanded
to see the president. The man's name
is Ki. hard Gocrdeler. He is the same
crank who some years ago wrote to
emperor William, of Germany, chal
lenging him to a duel. Goerdel. r
went up to Dr. Bryant's house! rang
the bell violently and when the butler
responded demanded to see the presi
dent. The butler told him the presi
dent couldn't be seen. "But it is busi
ness of national importance," declared
the crank. This brought Dr. Bryant
to the door. The doctor has a deter
mined way that stood him in good
stead. lie reasoned with the crank,
and told him. that it was impossible to
see the president at that hour. Goer
deler was finally argued into going
away.
