DOTS AND DASHES MADE ABOUT TODAY'S HAPPEN INGS. Items Gathered In and Around the City. Don't cuss the weather but pray hard for sunshine. Just a little over a week before the Christmas holiday's begin. The rain yesterday and today'a mud have had a very depressing effect on the cotton receipts. Deputy sheriff J. H. Hodges, of Beaufort county, brought three con victs to the penitentiary today. The board of railroad commissioners are in session here, but are engaged on none other than routine work. Register of deeds Rogers says he has hardly done anything as yet ex cept to issue marriage licenses. The Epworth reading circle will meet this evening at the residence of Mr. Josebh G. Brown, 705 Hillsboro street. Major Richards," a United States prisoner convicted of perjury, was sent to Henderson today to serve out a four month's sentence. The criminal docket te be disposed of at the present term of circuit court has been furnished and the civil docket is now being tried. The new floor of the Yarboro office is being laid. It will be composed of mall pieces of broken flagging and will present a very handsome appear ance. Rev. R. H. Wbitaker who has been returned to the Raleigh city mission, will hold his regular prayer service at Brooklyn tomorrow evening and at Epworth chapel Thursday evening. Governor Carr today issued a requi Rition on the governor of Illinois for A. S. Whitman, wanted in Buncombe county for obtaining money, under false pretenses. The national board of health meets tomorrow at Washington, D. C North Carolina will be represented by the secretary of the North Carolina board of health. The mayor's court attracted a great crowd of colored people today, two of their race being on trial there. The dispute between the parties was finally settled and quiet reigned again. Deputy collector J. A. Thomas re ports to collector Simmons the seizure, neaBig Rock, of the registered grain distillery of A. W. Jones. Twenty three barrels of whiskey were also seized. The seizure was made on ao count of irregularities. This evening Miss Katherine Bad ger Hale and Mr. John Sprague will be united in marriage at Christ chnrch The ceremony will take place at 9 o'clock, after which an elegant recep tion will be tendered the bride and groom by Mrs. A. A. Thompson, at her home on Newberne avenue Mr. W. J. Cooper, of the Y. M. C. A., according to his statement, is one of the most hustling men in town He today stated that he haLprdered a set of "checker" men three months hence . and expressed surprise that they had hot arrived. A gentleman standing by remarked that if the goods arrived by March 35th, Mr Cooper shonld be satisfied. The different Raleigh circles of "King's Daughters" have been doing a great work in picktng up friendless, and depraved gamins from the streets and placing them in homes where they get an education and learn trade. Eight have been eared for in the last year and this probably means that the country will be saved from the burden and expense of eight criminals. Mr. Redford, of Rolesville, was here today and is authority for the state ment that that rural village will next Friday evening be treated to a thea trioal performance, Lady of Lyons The players are natives of Franklin ton. The manager, on being asked if they had good soenery, indignantly replied that "the hills and woods around Franklintoa is as ' good as any you' an has got." ANOTHER VICTIM To His Own Carelessness Caught In Machinery and Killed. News was brought here today of a fatal accident that occurred this morning in a gin-house, near Roles, ville. It m as another case of "mon keying" and another life has been sacrificed on account of curiosity. It seems that "Jack" Hinton, a col ored farm baud, this morning came to the gin, and if tor concluding bis business, commenced walking around examining tbe machinery, etc. Sud denly the people in the gin were startled by heart-breaking screams and looking np were horrified to see Hinton being whirled over and over the "shaft." The machinery w as stopped and the poor man extricated. He was horribly mangled and lived but a short time. No one actually saw the accident take place, but it is surmised that the un fortunate man, stepping too close to the rapidly revolving shaft, had his coat caught in the machinery. F0UM3JJEAD. Mr. Daniel Jackson, a Well- Known Wake County Far mer Found Dead in His Boom. Early this morning Mr. Daniel Jackson, a widely known Wake county farmer, was found lying dead in his room at his home, about eight miles north of the city. He arose early, as usual, and started to dress. Some of his family a little later, wishing to summon him to breakfast, went into his room and found him lying face downwards on the floor. It was at first thought that he had only fainted but upon investi gation it was discovered that he was dead. The cause of death was heart-failure, he having suffered from this dis ease for years and being subject to frequent fainting spells. Mr. Jackson was one of the best known and most respected farmers in Wake county. Some years ago he was a citizen of Raleigh, holding the posi tion of court crier and also being a magistrate. A neighbor of his was here today looking after the arrange ments for his burial, which takes place tomorrow. THE LODGE. Some Facts About the New Ral eigh Weekly. On December the 28th the first edi tion of "The Lodge," the new weekly paper to be started here in the inter est of Masonry, Odd Fellowship and Pythianisin, will make its appearance. The paper will be published by Messrs. Z. P. Smith, Melvin Andrews and W. E. Faison and will start out in life under the most auspicious circum stances. A complete outfit has been ordered and an office will be rented in the Pullen building. The promoters of the new paper have been thoroughly working up advertising and subscrip tions and have been meeting with ex ceedingly gratifying results. The Christmas edition of the weekly will consist of 10,000 copies. The pa per will fill a want in Raleigh, a first class, progressive, useful paper to rep resent the combined membership of of the local and state secret and be nevolent sooieties. The Visitor has nothing but success to wish it. A Serious Accident. Little Farris Lambe, a 10-year-old operative at the Pilot cotton mills, sustained a very serious acoident the re yesterday afternoon. He was caught np by the machinery and badly injur ed. Medical attention "m was immedi ately procured and it was found that the little fellow, besides being badly bruised, was injured internally. He is now in a very critical condition and it is feared that his injuries will prove fatal. ' The Visitor has been roundly "cussed" by the friends of six diffe r- ent Raleigh widows about the item which appeared yesterday concerning a "line fenoe." Surely, Johnston oounty farmers are not going to carry away all Raleigh's charming widows? How about the oity steam roller? It has done, thus far, absolutely noth ing and it would be a great relief to see the monster get dowh to work. PERSONAL POINTS. ABOUT PROMINENT NORTH CARO LIN A PEOPLE. Here And Elsewhere State.

Little Frank Moore, sen of shoe maker Moore, was found on a county road last evening unconscious. He was brought to town and it was dis covered that some scoundrel had given the little fellow laudanum and whis key. No motive for the crime can be im agined and the person who drugged him must have been drunk. He is now very weak and his condition is critical. In an article in this morning's News and Observer Mr. B. R. Lacy, than whom there is no man in the state better up on railroad matters or more popular in railroad circles, says that the fatal wreck near Rockingham was due to the carelessness of the engineer and conductor of the "special" and that no blame could be atta-'hed to the train dispatcher This is;what the Visitor said at the time. The criti cism of the dispatchers was both un just and cruel. A Paralyzing Cyclone. Atlanth, Ga., Dec. 10. A cyclone and electric storm swept over Harlow county this morning.

Bailey, the enterpnning yonng editor of the Biblical Recorder: "In Mr. J. W. Bailey, of the Bibli cal Recorder, the state has a brilliant young editor; one who, though young in years, has already taken his place near the head in the list of North Carolina journalists. His marked ability is recognized wherever the Re corder is known. Mr. Bailey, since his father's illness, has become editor-in-chief of the Recorder, and is carry ing it on w ith signal success. During his stay in Charlotte, he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Cochrane. He will return to Raleigh this morning." Royal Arcanum.
