The social events of the holiday s-ason are about over. Presideut Cleveland says there will be uo extra session ut congress. Bills were posted today for the ap pear iuce of Mrs. Potter and Bellew. There is a Hue orchestra of 14 performers at the institution for the blind. The day of the partridge is past. In fact game of any sort is very scarce on the market. The western associated press supply the new morning paper will with telegraphic news. Vice-president Baldwin of the South em railway desires to briug German immigrants to the south. Sand for use in the building of the Confederate monument was today de livered at the west gate of the capitol square. The collections of revenue from liquor in this district in December were $13,315; cigars and cigareltes $17,049; tobacco $55,427. There is talk of some damage suits by reason of the circular issued ly some of the local fusionists, and which the Visitor copied yesterday. A fair number of theers, the farm lateness of the season and the con dition of the roads considered, brought cotton to market today. Dr. C. E. Taylor, president of Wake Forest college, arrived today. Other college presidents are sjon to arrive, the legislature being the attraction. The street cars continue to give a splendid service. Such conscientious effort to do the "square thing" by the people deserve the public's hearty patronage. Jim Hodge, a negro man who re ceived advances aud failed to "whack up," was tried before justice Roberts yesterday. He went to the roads for a short time. Fred Jones, a negro hack driver, used sulphurous language at the union depot yesterday. This morning he was tried for disorderly condui t be fore mayor Badger and fined five "plunks." ' It is strange how many people will drop all of their business out of simple and idle curiosity. Probably 200 people witnessed Mr. Briggg's execution of the guinea on the market house yesterday. There was a frozen fog his morn ing. On the ground it was like smowj on the trees it was like sleet. It was a beautiful phenomenon. The trees were covered with the sparkling frost to their very tops. Much curiosity was excited yester day by a guinea fowl which escaped from a country wagon and flew to the cupalo of the market house. It was killed by a bullet from a rifle iu the hands of Mr. 'Henry Briggs. The biennial report of the institu tion for the white blind and the color ed deaf-mute and blind institutions was issued yesterday. It reflects much credit on the directors, the superin tendent and other officials and teach ers. It is learned that the Seaboard Air Line officials, ; who, as noted iu the Visitor, left Portsmouth a day or so ago on an inspection tour, will arrive here in a day or so. A meeting will be held and important business trans acted, it is said. .. ' At the residence of Mr. R, L. Dixon, of the police force of Wilmington, Wednesday, his youngest child, a girl only 9 months old, was burned so horribly that she died in a few hours. She was in a room with another child, four years old, when her clothing caught from the stove. Mrs. Dixon was badly burned while endeavoring to put out the fire. We wish yon a happy and prosper ous New Year. Snbllinu & Hicks, Druggists. Jan. a ly. To Take Steps Towards Aiding Nebraska Sufferers. The much announced meeting of citizens to take steps to aid the Nebraska sufferers took place in the j mayor's office last evening. The at ! tendance, in spite of urgent appeals to the people to attend, was deplora , bly small. Mr. W. E. Ashley presided. ' Feveral letters and telegrams were ! read announcing the miserable eondi- tion of the Nabraska people. I On motion of John B. Kenney, a committee was appointed to wait on the citizens of Raleigh and solicit con tributions of money or provisions for the suffering citizens of Nebraska. The chair named the following as the committee: John B. Kennedy, Alf. A. Thompson, Jos. G. Brown, X. W. West, A. L. Baker, Fred. L. Merritt, C. G. Latta. F. A. Olds, Samuel Ber wanger. Rev. Bay 1 us Cade, W. M. Russ, Samuel T. Smith, J. S. Wynne, B. R. Lacy, Win. Boylau, Alex. Stron adi. The following were named as the committee on transportation : W. S. Barnes, II. P. Chandler, W. E. Ashley. It is certainly to be hoped that the committee will meet with good success. The people of Nebraska certainly need aid. They need it badly. And North Carolina has much to be thankful for. The state has suffered from hard times, poor crops or other causes less than any other state in the union should not withhold charity from those in distress. Rale gh is the state rep resentative city and should givecheer- ful aid. The following are the committees appointed to collect funds for the re lief of the sufferers iu Nebraska : On Fayetteville street, from the capitol to the centennial school, John B. Kenney, chairman; Win. Boylan and "am Berwanger. To collect from the banks the cot ton exchange and S. Wilmington street merchants, Alf. A. Thompson, chair man; J. G. Brown and C. G. Latta. To collect from factories and the railway shops, B. R. Lacy, chairman; N. W. West, A. L. Baker and J. S Wynne. To collect from the press aud citi zens generally, F. A. Olds, chairman; F. L. Merritt aud Rev. Baylus Cade. To collect from market, Exchange and Wilmington streets north of East Martin street, Wm. M. Russ, chair man; Alex Stronach and Sam. Smith. Baseball In the Air. The advent of the new year always suggests spring, spring suggests base ball and baseball turns the cranks wild. For several years Raleigh has been behind the procession as far as the national game is concerned. Last summer a club was organized but the step came too late. After one game had been played and lost nothing more was heard of baseball. But this year the Raleigh "cranks" propose to "get a move on." A Raleigh club will certainly be organized and a movement is on foot to start a central state league. The dubs will be com posed of amaateur players, the play erys that every one knows and whom the people take an interest in. The gentlemen having the scheme in hand propose to play some good, clean ball. They deserve encouragement. Up Jinks. Mrs V. O. Royster handsomely entertained a number of young people at an "Up Jinks party ana supper last evening. About 30 young peo ple were present and enjoyed the hos pitality of their hostess to the fullest extent. The party was given in honor of Miss Beulah S.inderlin, of Wash ington, D.
