The supreme court has taken a re cess until December 27th. The day dawned "dull and cold and people generally looked out for snow. The cotton exchange was deadly quiet this morning compared with yesterday's rush. Private secretary T"lfair today formally notified th different newly elected solicitors of their election. There will be a meeting of St. Timo thy's guild tomorrow evening at 4:30 o'clock at the residence of the presi dent. To every one who, between how and Christmas, makes a 50cent retail pur chase Mr. Dughi will give a chance for two fine parrotts. Twenty thousand flower bulbs have just teen planted at the state experi ment farm and the flowers will make a rich sight next summer. An abandoned Degress was found beastly drunk ou the streets yester day. This morning she was fined $10 by mayor Badger. A delegation will go to Washington next, week 10 urge the appointment of Walter R, Henry, Esq., as consul to Nagasakil Japan, or Genoa, 'Italy. A meeting of the woraens' christian temperance union will be held at Mrs. Wm. H. Worth's Thursday even ing Dec 20, 1894 at 3 o'clock. Workmen were engaged today at work on the office of the telephone company preparatory to removing the office to the Watson building. Two students at the university were expelled last week, but on a pledge to abstain from .intoxicants being signed by a number of students they were reinstated. In accord with a section of the city laws, officials of the waterworks com pany were today engaged in making a house to house examination of water fixtures. A Mecklenburg county merchant named Abernathy was robbed of $1, 000 night before last. He had hid den his money under some boxes in his store, having no safe. The moral is put your money in bank. Yesterday's Charlotte News con tained the following: A man named Joyn Pearson, who is on his way from Wake county to Texas, passed through Charlotte today. He drove two horses and in his wagon had his wife and three children and a bale of cotton, and behind the wagon trotted three dogs. He sold the cotton here today, pocketed the money and went on his way rejoicing." THE WrTVTHER. The Conditions and the Fore cast. For North Carolina: Showers on the coast today. Warmer tonight. Fair Tuesday. Local forecast for Ral eigh and vicinity: Thursday, fair, continued cool. Local data for 24 hours ending at 8 a. m. today: Maxi mum temperature minimum tem perature rainfall . Beautiful weather prevails every where except over the Atlantic coast states There is an area of low pres sure off the North Carolina coast, which has come into view since yester day's observations and accounts for the threatening state of the weather here this morning. It is raining at Hattoras, and the weather is cloudy all along the coast. The barometer is also low over the eastern lake region. It is snowing at Buffalo and the weather is cloudy at stations to the east'of Buffalo. All over the west the barometer is high (highest at North Platte and 'Dodge City) the temperature moderate cool, and sky clear. It is probable that the distur bance along the coast will move east ward today and fine weather will pre vail tomorrow. A Profitable Investment. Last evening a' countryman walked into a little store on Hillsboro street. A turkey rafle was in progress and the "jay" took a chance and won the bird. Not satisfied with that how ever he turned up at a certain drug store and proceeded to get up another rafle for-the turkey. ". He proposed to sell fifteen chances. 10 cents a chance', and counted on getting $1.50 for it. All the chances were not taken, how ever, so the rustic, not to break np the fun took two chances himself. To the dismay of the crowd the owner of the bird again won him and walked away with $1.30 and the original turkey. At 10 o'clock it was learned that the countryman had at last lost the tur key not before having won It six dif ferent times and pocketed $6.15, in all for aa original Investment of a dime. As to Fountain pens we"are leaders. $1.50 buys the best pens made, with a fall guarantee. Raleigh Stationery Company. - ; . ABSOLUTELY FALSE. President Hoffman 6ays that the Report of the Sale of the S. A L. is Unfounded on Fact. Mr. Charles Johnson at 4 o'clock this afternoon received a telegram from Mr. It. C. Hoffman, president of the Seaboard Air Line, denying in most emphatic terms the reported sale of the road to the Southern railroad. TI IE STATE TREASURY. A Fine Showing of the Finances Is Made. The legislative committee appoint ed to investigate tJie books, &c, of the state treasurer and auditor com pleted that task today, after seven days hard work, thoroughly and care fully done. The committee made a report of considerable length. The statement of receipts and disburse ments is as f il'ows : For 1893 receipts of public fund $1,491,487.27; of educational fund $59,6.')0 02. Disbursinents for 1893 of public funds .1. 284,021 41 ; of educa tional fund 26,909.77. Balance- ;..c., 1893, public fund $207,442.80 lu cational fund 32,740.25. For 1894 receipts of public f"ii. 1,. 440 9KJ.71; educati na! fn:id .i.ri!,SJ2. 25; both these amounis in -ludi., snr p less from the year previous. Dis bursinents pu' lie fund .1.143,74i).33; educational fund ?43;734 53. Balance in treasury December 1, 1894: public fnud 303,239.38. educational fund $7,087 72. The committee recommends that the annually increasing balance, now amounting to a surpless, be used an nually in retiring the four per cent bonds of the state, and the next legis lature take steps to convert it into a sinking fund for this specific purpose. It appears further from the report that during the present year an" ap portionment of 36,084.30 was made hy the state board of education amcng the various comities of the state. It appears from the committee's re port that the management of state treasurer Tate has been admirable in all respects, wise and economical, and that no treasurer has managed the state's finances in a more brilliantly successful way.,. He has accumulated and covered into the state treasury $6,371 63, clear profit. Attention is called to the fact that the fees" paid into the treasuay from the office of the secretary of state have aggregated nearly enough to pay all the running expense of the state gov ernment. The salaries of the officers iu the executive and judicial depart ments including the railway commis sion and the entire servant hire and stationery account have beeu almost wholly paid from this source. These fees are mainly derived from the fees of insurance companies and the or ganization of corporations. "I'll Never Get Drunk Any More." That was the plea that both Wash Overby and R. E. Strong wailed out to mayor Badger this morning when they came up for trial. Both are old offenders, both in actual age, for each is sixty-five, and in the number of times they have presented themselves, after a 'booze," before the city's chief magistrate. Both had been arraigned yesterday morning for the usual offense but had been let off on the condition - that they would leave tovn immediately for their homes in the country. Yes terday afternoon they were both seen "under the influence," again in the station house. But their dishevelled hair, bleared eyes, copious tears and protestations that they would re form would have touched a hard heart indeed. Mayor Badger's heart isn't hard and they got another chance. ' . Death of Miss Sallie Haywood. This lady after several years of pa tient suffering died at the residence of Mr. Stotts, on East Lenoir street, at 1.30 o'clock a. m. The funeral will take place at the Baptist Tabernacle church tomorrow morning at 10j clock. Tl.e remains will betaken to Wake Foreft for interment. Miss Hagwood was for several years at St. John's hospital. . Eor some months past she was employed in the folding department of Edwards & Broughton's bindery. She was a mem ber of the Tabernacle church. Is the 'Rumor Well Founded? There was a great deal of talk to day about a press telegram published in this morning's papers, stating that the sale of the Seaboard Air-Line system to the Southern railway was reported. Col. A. B. Andrews, vice president of he Southern, is not here, but is at Washington. Mr. Miller, his secretary, says that he knows nothing of the matter further than the state ment published today. He con fessed his surprise at the news, but oould not say whether it was true or not.

E. church this afternoon Miss Florrie Vestal, a niece of Dr. J. A Sexton, was married to Mr. Lee J. Best, Rev. J. N. Cole offi ciating. Mr. and Mrs. Best left the city on the 1 o'clock train this after noon. So Dr. Carroll, of ChapeKHill, comes out in the News and Observer with a new plan to sett 1h the state-aid ques tion. His plau to raise a two hundred and fifty thousand endowment fund by next June is as rediculous as the doctor seems to be insincere in his professed love for the university. A Well Stocked Store. As pretty and well stock a furniture and buggy store as that of J. W. B ir ber & Son is hard to find. In the large, well lighted room, running th whole length of the immense building may be seen complete and handsome a stock of furniture, &c, as can be fouud in the state. The lower floor contains a complete stock of buggies, cariages, &c, from the stylish $600 ' turnout to the toy express wagon for less than 2.00. The rafting fever has struck town hard.
