DOTS AND DASHES
MADE ABOUT TODAY'S HAPPEN
INGS.
Items Gathered In and Around
the City.
"'"he farmers want to see some cold
weather, so they can kill hog.
Travel on the railroads is picking
p. There i already a g-od deal ol
travel.
Mr. W. H. Moore is building three

tee is at work on the books in the
state auditor'sorfice.
So far as can be learned there will

Sunday schools in this city.
The cotton receipts today were very
heay. It was worth one's life almost
to walk through the exchauge.
At the Park hotel this afternoon
Miss Myrta Laura Mason of Chicago,
lectured on psycho-physical culture.
The Raleigh boys at college at
hapel Hill will come home for their
Christmas hodidays tomorrow, Thurs
day and Friday.
The holiday trade here appears to
be quite up to the average. The coun
try people, low as is the price of cot
ton, all appear to have money.
Raleigh, when the Caucasion and
the Lodge make their appearance, will
have seventeen daily, weekly and
monthly publications.
There are intimations of some other
changes in the personnel of the offi
cials of the S. A. Iu. changes that
will by:no means please the people in
this state.
Why don't the fair management
have that editorial prize awarded?
There has been delay enough and
many of the state's brilliant editors
are on "tenterhooks."
There is only one of the three to
bacco warehouses open this season,
this being the Farmers'. Last Fri
day there were heavy breaks and to
day these were again large. Over
$2,000 worth of leaf was sold each
day.
, Royster, Park & Co., today began
work on two extensions of the power

and dynamos will be placed, and more
room for cars will be afforded.

give its holiday dance on the 26th in
stant, instead of on Christmas. The
Capitol club will also give a dance
during the holidays. That of the
cotillion tlab will be given at the Yar
boro orthe Park.
A rustic passenger who was await
ing a train at the union depot today
had evidently been making extensive
Christmas preparations during his
stay in the city, having on the seat
beside him two immense "jimmy-
johns" of pure old rye and two bottles
of rock candy.
The official list of members-elect of
the legislature, as prepared by Capt
C. M. Roberts, keeper of the capitol,
showing their seats, shows 8 demo
crats, 17 republicans and 35 populists
in the senate, and 46 democrats, 38
republicans and 36 populists in the

sion is only upon invitation.
In conversation with Mr. Len. II
Royster toA&y the latter said to a re
porter that in the will of the late
John Rex, the giver of Rex hospital
two springs in this city were set aside
for the permanent use of the people
of Raleigh, a quarter of an acre being
set aside at each place. One of these
springs is in a few yards of the Mills
wagon factory and the other near the
Seaboard Air Line shops. This is
a queer piece of news. Can any one
give more of the facts.
Deputy Charlie" Walters left this
morning for Goldsboro carrying with
him Mary Horton, the colored woman
who has been confined at the county
home for over two mouths. She will be
placed in the Goldsboro Asylum, a
vacancy having been made at that
much crowded institution. Mary, it
will be remembered, is the woman wh
nearly caused a stampede among the
prisoners in jail a month or so ago by
itotf wild "taking ou."
THE WEATHER.
Tho Conditions and the Fore
cast.
For North Carolina: Fair and
cooler in eastern rortion to-night.
warmer in western portion Wednes
day. Local forecast for Raleigh and
icinity: Wednesday, cooler tonight.
fair and slightly warmer Wednesday.
Local data for 24 hours ending at 8 a.
today: Maximum temperature '63;
minimum temperature 32; rainfall
0.00.
The high area extends from Mem
phis to Buffalo, with a barometer of
30.50 inches. The weather is clear
and cool everywhere except in upper
Mississippi valley, where it is cloudy,
due to the approach of another storm
the northwest, as indicated by
southerly winds and rising tempera
ture north of St. Lonis. The temper
ature has fallen considerably over the
states bordering the Atlantic.
As to the Streets.
The street question is a vexinruie.
Th'ut Ralegh the capital city an ' nat
urally the prettiest place in the -late,
should be def ined by such thorough
fares as it has is indt-ed hard. Mr.
Stronach, the chairman of the street
ommittee certainly hnsthe good of the
city at heart. He is handicapped by
the action of the aldermen, and that
he has done the best he could under
great disadvantages; and should not
get the ((lame. But Raleigh is away
belli ud on street improvements, com
plaints are not groundless. Somebody
is to blame. Who is it ?
Although au ordinance was passed
months ago requiring the different
railroads to put th?men at their
crossings nothing has ben done. It
is said that the railrords have been
notified, but why have they not been
compelled to carry out the order? Mr.
Stronach was asked why t he ordinance
was ignored and could not answer.
This matter seems to be gross negli
gence on somebody's part. The neglect
to guard the crossings is a nuisance
to the public safety. The Fayetteville
street crossing is especially dangerous
and Mr. Stronach says that he himself
had narrowly escaped being run over
there.
Illicit Stills Captured.
Collector Simmons was today in
formed of the seizure and destruction
of three illicit distilleries. Deputy
E. A. Moflitt reports the seizure and
destruction of a 70-gallon copper dis
tillery and outfit, 1,500 gallons of
"moonlight" beer and two barrels of
corn liquor. The still was situated on
an island in the Pee Dee river, Rich
mond county, and was owned and op
erated by J. R. Mcllae.
Deputy A. F. Rhodes reports that he
has seized and destroyed an illicit dis
tillery of 80-gallons capacity, 1,900
gallons of beer and three barrels of
whiskey in Caswell county. Dink
Bigelow was the owner.
Deputy Rhodes also reports the
seizure and destruction, at McRae's
Dostoffice. of an illicit still and outfit
owned by John and Will Page.
The State Lands Option.
The state board of education met
here today . The most important bus
iness transacted was giving a new op
tion on the large tract of state lands,
comprising three hundred and fifty
thousand acres. Many gentlemen made
appl cation for the option but it was
renewed in favor of Hon. C. M. Sted-
inan, of Asheville, who has held it for
years and who, it seems, has made ex
tensive sales of the lands. A
sale of a small tract of state land was
also made.
Pell Far and Hard.
At Chapel Hill last evening Mr
James Stevenson a university student,
fell over the low banister on the third
story of the south building to the
lower floor, thirty-five feet, but
strange to say, with the exception of a
shaking up and a sprained ankle was
not injured.
The accident occurred on account
of the utter darkness of the halls. A
little over year ago a Davidson student
fell, on "the same account, and die
from his injuries.
Deputy collector K. A. ..-Mounts re
uorts to collector Simmons the seizure
of a double barrel shot gun. What
class of liquor the gun comes under
however, is making clerk Steed scratch
his head thoughtfully.
Rev. Dr. R. H. Graves, who has
been a Baptist missionary to China for
thirty years and vho only recently
retuned home, is here. Last evening
the dootor delivered a very interesting
lecture at the nrst Baptist church.
