DOTS AND DASHES 1 MADE ABOUT TODAY'S HAPPEN INGS. Items Gathered in and Around the. City, t The state geological board met this afternoon in the governor's office. There are now three large church conferences in progress in the state. The remaining delegates to the col ored Zion conference left this morning and this afternoon. The bond question continues to at tract public interest. All sorts 01 conjecture and prophecy is rife. A large, beautifully bronied wild turkey hanging in front of a butcher shop attracted much attention today. The repairs on the car line have been completed and the cars are run ning smoothly and satisfactorily, both to manager Keeler and the public. It is stated that the new morning daily that is contemplated will start up the flrst of rext week. The paper will be called th Daily Caucasion. The weather has done the gentle manly thing this winter. Now, it only takes 10-cent cotton to put the hnle community in smiling mood. The criminal docket at this term of federal court is unusually heavy while the civil docket is light. Several im portant civil cases are soon to be tried however. The old house, formeily occupied oy the Wetmore shoe factory, and now being remodelled by Mr. Hal Ayer, is nearly completed. It is a great im provement to the appearance of the street. Last evening mandamus papers in the Bernard case were served to gov ernor Carr to restrain the canvassing board from passing on the case. The papers are returnable before judge Bynum onHhe 14th of this month. Two accidents occurre(T- the car line yesterday, two wagons being com pletely smashed. It is a pleasure to state that the car officials were not to blame as the drivers, in both instances were a jrood deal "under the in fluence." For about as tough a looking gath ering of humanity as can be found, one should visit the federal court room and take a look at the criminal pris oners and witnesses. Next to drink ing "moonshine,' licker, "snuff dip ping" is most popular. Deputy collector Gibson reports to collector Simmons the seizure and de strnction, in Montgomery county, of an 80 gallon illicit distillery. The supposed owner is Sol. Hayworth. The owner was not present but the deputies captured 25 large "porkers" that were confined in a pen near the still to be fattened with "moonshine" beer. The hogs were driven and a lot of stuff carried away triumphantly. THEATRICAL NOTES. College Boys and the Duff Op era Company Will Appear at the Academy. Manager Meares has succeded in booking the celebrated Duff opera company, composed ot sixty people It will appear here early in January and will be an attraction that Raleigh people cannot well afford to miss. The company at that time will be on its way to Ctrba and will, only appear at several of the larger cities en route. Manager Meares has also made ar- rantrements for Washington & Lee glee club, of Lexington, Va., to ap pear here the 81st of December. is one of the best clubs ofthe kind in the country and deserves liberal pat ronage." Maaager Mears is to be commended for his interprise.in obtaining these two excellent attractions and will no doubt obtain the success he deservss, Got Himself Bicift in Jail. This morning three witnesses before the circuit court were put in jail for contempt of court for being too drank to testify. NThey are Major Richards, I.D.Shaw and John Morris. Rich ards hat been in jail himself for re tailing bat was acquitted yesterday While in jail ha informed on a man for the tame crime with which he was charged and was attempting to testify against mm today. He had been in jail four months and- now.' after day's liberty; has a good prospect of I staying ther four more. MARRIED AT MID-DAY. The Beautiful Marriage Bites of Mr. B B Baney and Miss Olivia Cowper. Society turned out in forea today to witness the wedding ceremonies of Mr. Richard Beverly Raney and Miss Olivia Blount Cowper, which took place at Christ church at noon. Just at 13 o'clock the strains of a beautiful wedding march were heard and the bride entered upon the arm of her father, Mr. Pulaski Cowper. She was preceeded by Miss Meggie Cowper, maid of honor, and was joined t th altar by the groom, who, with is best man, Mr. F. B. Dancey, had come from tne vestry room, mere Dr. M. M. Marshall pronounced them man and wife after the simple yet beau- iful ceremony ofthe Episcopal church. The ushers were Messrs. Hal. L. Worth, John A. Duncan, B. S. Jer- man and D. E. Everitt. Never in the community .have there been united in these holy bonds two more generally popular or highly es teemed persons than the contracting parties on this occasion. Never have there been launched after any mar ried couple more heartfelt good wishes nd earnest prayers for a long life and all happiness, and never have long life and all happiness, been more deserted than by these two. On Tuesday evening an informal gathering of the bridal party was held at the residence of the bride's father The many handsome and beautiful gifts bore testimony to their great popularity. The bridal party also accompanied them to Selma and there bade them God-speed on their journey to the "Land of Flowers," after a trip through which they will visit Cuba, and sailing from Havana to Vera Cruz, make the circuit of the gulf of .Mexico and return to home and friends about the first of the new year. SWEETSINGERS Were the Members of the Sweed ish Quartette. The audience that braved the weather last evening and attended the performance of the Sweed 13b. Quar tette at Metropolitan hall were well repaid for their trouble, for never has a company given more entire satisfaction here than did that excel lent company. The attendance, while large, approached no where near the number that would have welcomed the singers bad the weather been pro pitious. The program was carried out with out a hitch and those present were carried away with enthusiasm with the excellent manner in which the various features were rendered. The work of Quartette was simply grand and won burst after burst of enthusiastic ap plause and encore after encore from tlit delighted audience. The solo work of Mr. Laurin was away above par and many persons expressed their belief that he is the best soloist who has ever visited Kaleign. Miss Jose Uarton delivered several recitations, full of flashes of dramatic skill, and was com pelled to respond to numerous encores No mention would be complete with out an especial note of the bass sing ing of Mr. McPherson, over whose delightful voice the musical "crank in the audience went wild. On the whole the entertainment was one of the best that has ever been given here. Mr. Cooper, to whose efforts the Quartette s appearance was due, deserves the thanks and liberal patronage in future of Raleigh people generally. ANOTI I ERGON TEST. The Canvassing Board Decides it Has no Judicial Power. The board or canvassers met yes terday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Argu ment was at once begun in the case of the returns for solicitor of the seventh district. McLean, democrat, is elected in the face of the returns, but there is question as to the Cumberland county returns. It seems that in that county Seawall's tickets were made out in the name of Herbert L instead of Perbert F. Seawall. The board . was asked to make an amendment in regard to these returns. Seawall was represented by Thomas H. Sutton, Esq., and Col. John Hins dale, while McLean was unrepre sented. Both of these gentlemen de livered excellent arguments. The decision of the board was that it had no power to make the amend ment, as its power was purely minis terial, not judicial. The vote on the question was S to 3. Although the board decided against granting the amendment, the matter is still open. 'No canvass will " be made until the mandamus proceedings iii the Bernard case are heard and deoided in court. In case the decision of the court is in favor of Bernard, whloh is extremely doubtful, the amendment will probably be granted. Gossip has it that a prominent Epis eopal divine of Raleigh will enter the bonds of matrimony near the last of tha month. ' . ;.v " PERSONAL POINTS. ABOUT PROMINENT NORTH CARO LIN A PEOPLE.

The board of county commissioner met this morning at 9 o'clock. All the morning they were engaged in examing the surieties represented in the bond of Mr. J. J. Rogers, register of deeds-elect. : . Taring the morning several little clashes on law points occurred be tween ex-judgc Spier Whitataker, counsel for Rogers, and Armistead Jonei, Esq., county attorney. One little point was whether or not a Mr. Beavers, who has signed both Rogers' and Adams' bonds, should be allowed to remain as a bondsman. Mr. Jones claimed that the fact of his name be ing signed on Adams' bond should be considered a liability; judge whitaker took the ground that as Adams' bond had not yet been accepted his signa ture there was not a liability. It was a pretty point and was closely watohed by the spectators. When the board met after dinner it went into secret session to decide as to whether or not it should accept Rogers' bond. At 3:30 o'clock the commissioners wire still in session. . All the bonds were in and will probably be passed on by tomorrow morning, at the latest, At 4 o'clock Sheriff Page was sent for by the board and was told he had been elected sheriff. He aocepted.

Our hats are just what the people want, and the prices are right, at Swindell's. STRANGE BROOKLYN BRIDGE. The strangest thing about this soap tridge is that the people of Raleigh don't buy the soap any quicker. In all other towns this size a bridge of soap like this one would be sold out and gone in a week; som. times in two days. This is pure white Castile Soap and you get 10 Cakes for 25c. or 2 Cakes for 5c. the same identical soap you must pay two or three times as much for at drugstores. You cer tainly don't understand what this is, or else you don t use much soap Raleigh awake from slumber and brush the mist from the eves to be come alive and abreast the times People come and admire this window and comment on the soap; say well, I don't know how they can sell 2 cakes of this soap for 5c, and run both hands in the pockets and walk off.
