REPUBLICANS MEET
And Pecide on Changes In the
City Charter.
Lnt evening, in the'ofike of superi
or court clerk Young, there was a
meeting of local republicans to decide
on what chauges the legislature would
be asked to make in the city of Ral
eigh. Clerk Young was chairman of
the meeting and V. F. Debpain, sec
retary. After a good deal of discussion it
was decided that the city limitsfhould
not be .-tended. The changes the re
publicans propose to ask for are to re
arrange the five wards, taking s part
of the fourth ward and putting it into
the third so as to make that ward re
publican, and providing for the elec
tion of a mayor by the people.
Committees were appointed, ore
from each ward, to draw up a petitio'u
and urge the legislature to act in the
matter. The following is the commit
tee: 1st ward, W. W. Wynne; 21,
Rev. R. H. W. Leak, colored; 3d, John
Nichols; 4th, B. J. Robinson, colored;
5th, J D. Newsom.
A GOOD "IXGOMAR."
Robert Downing Pleased His
Audience.
A fair sized audience visited the
academy last evening to see Downing,
the tragedian, play "Ingomar." Rob
ert Downing as that character was
good, although he over played the
part on several occasions. Eugenie
Blair as Tarthenia was a disappoint
ment although she tried hard to
please.
The play was better suited to
Downing than heavy tragedy, such as
the "Gladiator," and this probably
was the reason he appeared to such
advantage last evening. At times his
acting was excellent and he splendidly
portrayed the savage nature of the
barbarian chief. The support .was
good, better than is generally seen
here.
The audience was evidently well
pleased with the performance as was
shown by the liberal applause given
both to Downing and Eugenie Blair.
PASSED FROM EARTH.
Mrs. S. D. Wait Sank to Best
Like a Child.
Yesterday evening Mrs. Susan Ada
Wait, wife of Mr. S. D. Wait, passed
away from earth, at her home on Fay
etteville street. Her untimely death
is a shock to her friends, but they are
comforted by the full knowledge that
her end was that of a true Christian
and that fhe was fully prepared to
leave earth for heaven.
Mrs. Wait was the daughter of the
late William Folk, of Smithfield, Va.
She leaves two brothers, Col. George
N. Folk of Caldwell county N. C,
and Capt. William D. Folk of Smith
field, Va. Her sister, Mrs. Virginia
Blacknell and her niece, Miss Nannie
G. Blacknell aided her devoted hus
band in care for her during her ill
ness. Mrs. Wait was a communicant
of the Methodist church, and Rev.
John N. Cole will conduct the services.
The funeral services will be held to
morrow from the residence.
Norris Bros. Trained Ponies and
"' Dogs. '
This novel and entertaining attrac
tion will hold the boards at the acade
my of music this evening and also
give a special mattinee for ladies and
children tomorrow afternoon. The
Richmond Dispatch Jan. 19th speaks
as follows :
"Go and see Norris' pony and dog
show and take your children, if you
have any, and other people's if you
haven't. The exhibition will amuse
and interest you. Norris' . animals
have reached a very high standard.
There was not a hitch in the perfor
mance, and the many difficult and
some brilliant feats were splendidly
executed, and well received."
Much Interest In the Pearson
Meetings. '.,'.
The Pearson meeting as Chapel Hill
closed last evening with an exceeding
ly enthusiastic meeting. Since Mr.
