Swindell's la 203 FayeUevllle la the Horrible Crime with Which Ed Barbam is Charged. Yeterday afternoon a colored man was brought here to jail charged with an ordinary misdi-mener. He was pi t in Jail on a warrant issued by justice K. T. Scarborough, of Marks Creek, in whi, h towonhip the man, Ed. Bar ham, resides. This morning, however, it leaked out that he was charged with a much greater crime than that at first re ported, in fact, one of the most hor rible and fiendish of crimes, burning his infant. Ed Barbam was seen by a Visitor reporter in jail today and 'this is his story. The mother of the mnrdered infant, "Manda". Bunch, some time ago had Bar ham arrested for being its father. Ue was acquitted, however, and says that the next he knew of the case was when he was arrested on Friday morn ing and charged both with having at tempted to perform a criminal opera tion on the mother and with having murdered the child. The story of the woman was that she, Barham being in the house, Lad killed the child and that Barham had then put it in the fire and burned the body. The wo man was the only witness, but her statement was verilied as to the burn ing of the child as its bones were found Friday in the fireplace at the woman's house. Barbam says that he was not in two miles of the woman's house at the time and that he can easily prove an alibi. People who come from Mark's Creek say that the woman has an unsavory reputation while Barham is a good, hard working negro. There is no tes timony against him except that of the woman, who, a stated above, con fessed to having killed the child. She is now in such a delicate condition that she cannot be, as yet, brought to trial, One has no idea how immense is the advertising business of a large firm or industry. The immensity of it is well shown at the union depot where one may see whole truoks loaded with mail bags containing advertisements of Hood's sarsaparilla, going to every postoffice in the state, and the com pany pays 4 cents postage per pound. Two hundred sacks left here today, and it is said that there is a carload of them at Greensboro. The republican caucus to nominate officers of the legislature was called to meet this afternson at 3 o'clock. The most important nomination, that of speaker, is about conceded to Walser but the friends of Lusk still claim that their man will be "in it." It is ru mored that Mr. G. Z. French, of Wil mington, is also out for the place. Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Raney returned from their bridal trip to Cuba this morning. Tomorrow evening an ele gant reception will be given them at the home of Mr, Pulaski Cowper. Chief Heartt has arranged to have the Harriet Weems company appear here on the 18th to the 19th in Shakes pearean plays. Lieut, Frank Wilkes, of the Char lotte Reserves, is under arrest for dis obeying military orders. In 14 minutes' time $14,000 was subscribed last Saturday for a new cotton mill in Wilmington, The boarding housekeeper is glad and new boarding places are spring ing up like mushrooms, r Extra bargains in furniture at Thomas ft Maxwell. Bed lounges with letachable mattresses a specialty. : THE NEW LEGISLATURE. regardless of the opinion of your con DOTS AND DASHES MADE AI50UT TODAY'S HAPPEN INGS. Items Gathered In and Around the City. Politics, thin; politics, thatj every where. The Carolina cotillion club will gl its next monthly german on January the 17tb. It is stated on good authority that the Daily Caucasian may exist only during the legisliture. Legislators, candidates, populist, republican and democratic, make the hotel offices lively spots.

Nothing except routine work was transacted, however. The charter of the city of Golds boro is to be changed so as to take in a large amount of property on the outskirts that has been exempt from taxation. There was a very heavy fog this morning and the cold wave signal gives promise that the weather for the legislature will be proverbially bad. The new trains wheih have just been placed on the Southern are giv ing excellent satisfaction. They are of incalculable convenience to the trav elling public. Yesterday the large press in use at the printing house of Edwards ft Broughton broke down. It may be some weeks before the damage can be repaired. The trial of Perry, who last summer killed Tom Bailey in the presence of his wife, has been set for Thursday of this week. Wimberly's trial will not come off until next week. Judge Starbuck will have a hard time this and next week two murder trials being on the docket. He is a young man wno may De aepenaea upon to "hold his own," however. The director of the independent band of Raleigh requests the mem bers to meet on the third floor of tha Andrews building tkis evening at 8 o'clock. Each member will bring his instrument. Raleigh is steadily growing and this fact is evidenced daily by the new industries that are being estab lished. The Visitor has several of these "on tap" which it will spring on the public in a few days. His many friends are delighted to see solicitor "Ed." Pou back in the court room. The fact that he escaped the general "turn over" is the best evi dence of the esteem in which he is held by the people generally. - It is learned that a large ball will soon be given here for the benefit of the Confederate monument. The managers of the off affair propose to make it memorable, not only in Ral eigh but throughout the state. : Mr. Charles McDonald has moved into the office which is occupied by Jones and Powell, having severed his connection with the firm of Alfred Williams & Co. He will devote his energies to hustling the Soutnern. During the past month the "Shin ing Star" circle of the King's Daugh ters paid 102 visits, raised $6.45 and gave away 12 garments.

Very Little Work Done on This the Second Day. Superior conrt convened at 9:30 o'clock this morning, judge Starbuck evidently believing in getting early to work. In spite of his early start, however, very little was accomplished, as there was a deal of routine work to do. The yonng judge upheld the good showing he made yesterday and the favorable impression of him is if anything strengthened rather than lessened by his seoond day'a work on the bench." Only two cases of minor importance were heard. The Wiinberly ease will be tried early next week, although no official day has as yet been set for it. The two cases disposed of are: State vs. Norman Freeman, Land r., jury; not gnilty. State vs. W. H. Miller, carrying concealed weapons, jury, guilty, judgment reserved.

Mah ler, general bookkeeper ; William T. Womble, and J. W. Hardin, book-keep ers; D. D. Upchurch, collector. Should Sam be Sold. The city government proposes to sell Sam. One has no idea what a hold this venerable and highly re. spected white "muel" has on the af fections of Raleigh people, who have been accus tomed to see him every day for twenty years. Sam has served the city long and faithfully and it would seem very poor recognition of his services for the city to sell him now. But, it would be a bad invest ment. It is a well known fact that white mules approach nearer to the state of immortality than any other creature. Sam, although over 30 years old, is just in his prime. He will out-last four ordinary mules. Don't sell him. Uncle Tom's Cabin. The F. E.
