The fancy bull for the benefit f the IVnfed-rate monumect. given in the diuing room of the Varborouuli house last evening, was au unqualified Hiiccess in evrry way. Besides leing one of the most enjoyable social funct ions which Raleigh people have had the pleasure of attending iu many a day, a iery neat sum, $173, was rais-d thereby for the monument. The ladies who Lt-e worked so jealously iu the interest of the ball and the monument are to be congratuUted on their suc cess. About CO couples participated and the beautiful dining room in which were many happy dancers arrayed in grotesque and historical costumes presented a charming glimpse of life. That l.eautiful women were in attend ance goes without saying. Whether it be as a Swiss peasant or as Martha Washington Raleigh young ladies always look well. The costumes were splendidly got ten up and ranged in representation from the "Father of his Country" to the strictly modern and up to date. "Daisy Bell;" though there be some who say that Daisy is not exactly modern. Dancing commenced at 10 o'clock and ceased promptly at 1 a. in. Every one who attended has the same verdict, "a lovely dance and a most enjoyable time." A NEAT GAME. Mr. Iredell Said to be Practicing Fraud. There is some .little excitement among the liquor dealers of Raleigh about inquiries which have been' re ceived by Mr. V. H. Dockery in re gard to a man who gives the name of W. F. Iredell and writes from the Exchange hotel. it is gathered from the letters Mr. Dockery has received that Iredell has been sending out numerous petitions asking for signitures against any pro hibition legislation. He (also asks a donation and this is what makes his business "fat," they say. Mr. Dockery, who is the secretary of state liquar dealers' association, tells the Vimitob that Iredell is con nected iu no way with the assaciation and advises the liquor dealers gener ally to beu are of him. Mr. Dockery says that the associ ation will protect its interests but will do so in an open and manly manner. It is surmised that Iredell, if that be his name, has made a deal of money out of his scheme. matrimonial; NOTES. Siill the Joyful Work Goes on. Two Local "Weddings. The number of marriages here last summer and fall was unprecedented. Lately there has been quite a "drop" in matrimonial circles but interest seems to have revived. Today it was learned that there were to be two wed dings, one next week and the other tomorrow, of young people known in Raleigh. Marriages are always in teresting. Here are the two: Wednesday Miss Birdsong, of Ral eigh, will wed Mr. lLibbard, of Balti more. The wedding will be a quiet one and the ceremony will be per formed by Rev. Dr Simms. Mr. Hub bard is a prosperous young business man of Baltimore and he and his bride will return there immediately after the marriage. JJJThis evening (.ary will have the excitement of a church wedding. The contracting parties will be Mr. John Stephens and Mrs T ula Stedman, both of whom are well known here. The marriage will be solemnized at the Methodist church and Rev Mr Jenkins will perform the ceremony. A telegram was received today by Mrs. II. H. Chandler stating thit her father, who lives at Butler, , Missouri, is dangerously ill. The news so pros trated her that it is doubtful whether she will be able to make the trip to Butler. - A colored man was bronght here late this afternoon and jailed. He is oharged with attempting to murder a small eolored girl, by strangling her, because he was afraid she would tell a criminal action which she knew he had committed. MADE ADon TODAY'S HAITLV 1XGS. Items Gathered In and Around the City. The Cotillion dub dance will be given on February 21. The state treisury was today turned over to treasurer Worth. A convict from Warren county ar rived at the penitentiary yesterday. The receipts of the confederate monument ball amounted to a gift to it of $175. In these piping times of "financial depression" a ' per diem" is not to be sneez-d at. The sheriff is giing delinquent tax payers no rest. The taxes must be paid he says. The usual daily "scrap" occured on Wilmington street today. Both parties were "pulled" and locked up. The cotton mills hereare all "going it" at a lively rate. The Raleigh and the Pilot are both away behind their orders. A few straggling cotton wagons adorned the exchange this morning but there was by no means a rush of business there. Senator Pritchard leftthis afternoon for Washington. Senator Moody and Rice accompany him. He expects to be sworn in tomorrow. The remainder of the prisoners who were sentenced to the roads were sent out yesterday and the jail has a very much deserted appearance. It. was rumored today that there had been a creek, this time on the South ern. Noone knew anything, however, and the rumor is in all probability unfounded. A colored woman was before mayor Badger this morning charged with larceny. The charge was not sus tained, however and the woman, was discharged. Much excitement arose in the sen ate yesterday upon the democrats criticising the populists for voting for Pritchard, which they said was a sur render of their principles. Several University students came down from Chapel Hill last evening, attended the fancy ball and returned this morning. They were Messrs of Rockingham, of Hillsboro, of Wilmington and of Durham. A letter from Lenoir county to Mr. Council Wooten of the legislature statos that on the farm of S. I. Woo ten a house was burned and a man who was in it was burned to death, while a boy was so badly injured that he will die. The state board of Baptist state missions met here last evening. The business of the board Was purely routine. The money for he various missionaries was apportioned out. The board annually spends from 12,000 to 15,000 dollars in missionary work in North Carolina. . Yesterday's Charlotte News said : Mr. E. R. Podge, formerly of this city, is now iu charge of the Raleigh elec tric light and power company, and is doing work there. He keeps the lights bright and the cars going full tilt, and, by the way the Raleigh cars look mighty bright and fresh in com parison with the Charlotte cars. Mr. Cowper Declines the Posl . tion. Editor Evenino Visitor, fear sir: My attention has just been called to a local item in your issue of yesterday to the effect that I had left a few days ago for Tennessee, where I would become superintendent of a coal mine in that state. This is erroneous and 1 would thank you to correct same in your next issue. I did go to Tennessee three weeks ago on business and while there' was offered the position of secretary and treasurer of a coal mining company, but the offer has been declined by me and I have no thought or intention of re moving from Raleigh, but will, on the contrary, continue the Insurance busi ness here and will always give the same personal interest and attention to all business kindly entrusted me as I have endeavored to do in the past. 1 Yonrs very truly, , B. G. Cowpkb. TODAY'S PROCEEDINGS IN BOTH BRANCHES. The Senate Passes the Six Per Cent. Interest Bill. SENATE. In the senate the chief bills were: To protect the public against spurious kerosene.
