A telegram was received by Mr. Pulaski Cowper this morning bringing the sad tidings of the death of Miss Nannie Branch Craige, eldest daugh ter of Hon. Kerr Craige, of Salisbury. Miss Craige has been In declining health for several months, and, al though she visited Florida and Colo rado and had every attention which medical skill could provide, every effort proved futile, and this morning about nine o'clock she breathed her last. She had just entered upon the threshold of womanhood, and her untimely death is a profound sorrow to every one who knew her. The best and fairest often die young, but their lives are not in vain, for they leave a rich legacy the example of early consecration and de votion. Miss Craige was a grand daughter of Mrs. General L. O'B. Branch, of this city. The deepest, sympathy Is felt for the bereaved relatives In Raleigh. Mrs. Armistead Jones and Mrs. Robert JoneS were at the bedside of their nelce when the final summons came. The interment will be at Salisbury, probably tomorrow. MAYOR'S COURT.

SPANIAhDSOBsTIN'i'E The Spanish Commissioners Sem t'n willing to Understand lhatthe 4m ri oantt ean Vt hat The V 8a v. By CaDle to the Times-Visitor. PARIS, Oct. 8. The American peace cdmmissibners began a three hours' session at ten this morning. They have taken into their consideration the di rect suggestion and counter proposi tions from the Spaniards. The Ameri cans are now acting along well consid ered lines with a definite end in view. They have, to some degree, disclosed American expectations and determina tions. The Spaniards, however, seem unable, or rather unwilling, to yet un derstand or believe that the Americans have at the outset set forth their re quirements. They are destined to re main virtually unchanged by diploma ¬ cy. While the Philippines have not yet been reached, the deliberations of this question is doubtless relatively not far distant, and at that point there is likely to come the full stress of the diplomatic controversy. Gauieris says: "The Phil ippines question was somewhat touched upon, though not discussed, yesterday, but there is enough which has already transpired, to indicate that serious dif ficulties will be encountered when it does come up before the commission ers. CITY FATHERS. Saloons Can Keep Open Until Midnight Fair Week. The Board of Aldermen held a regu lar monthly meeting last evening. The Hoard decided to allow the saloons to Keep open until 12 o'clock during Fair Week, Alderman Parish alone voting in the negative. A committee was appointed to con demn and assess the value of that por tion ot tne property of the estate of W. H. Willard (the Ashe residence property) which would be required in an extension of Boylan avenue to West Jones street. The following resolution, introduced by Alderman Drewry, was adopted: Whereas, Boylan avenue, from Hills- boro street to the present northern ex tension of Boylan avenue, south of West Jones street, in the city of Raleigh, in the opinion of the Board of Aldermen of said city, should be opened; and Whereas. A portion of the premises owned by the estate of W. H. Willard, deceased, is needed for the purpose of opening said Boylan avenue; and Whereas, The exectors of said W. H. Willard and the Board of Aldermen of said city cannot agree upon the pur chase price of so much of said prem ises a is need for the opening of said avenue, be it 'Resolved, Bv the Board of Alder men of said city, that J. M. Monle, V. C. Royster, W. B. Mann, G. E. Leach and Joseph Blake be and are hereby ap pointed by the said Board to assess the value of so much of said premises as is needed for the said opening of said Boylan avenue from said Hlllsboro street to the present northern exten sion of said Boylan avenue south of said Jones street, pursuant to Section 61 of the charter of said city." The finance commute, through Alder man McDonald, offered the tax levy for the year. It Is the same as hereto fore, being 90 cents on the $1 for general rurpoFes, and 33 1-3 cents for the sink ing fund. A committe from the First Baptist church, appeared before the Board and asked that an electric light be placed on the corner of Salisbury and Eden ton streets. It had already been ar ranged to place a light at that point. The following resolution, which was offered by Alderman Drewry, was adopted: "Whereas, At the regular meeting of the Board of Alderman of the city of Raleigh, held August 5, 1898, the recom mendation made in the report of the street committee of said Board to sell certain certificate of stock held by said city in the Raleigh and Augusta Air Line Railroad Company was adopted by said Board; and "Whereas, Said certificate of 487 shares of Btock in said railroad com pany has been disposed of by said city to B. 8. Jerman, at the price of twelve dollars and a half per share: "Resolved, By the Board of Alder men of the city of Raleigh: "1. That the said certificate of 487 shares of stock, being Certificate No. 105, be transferred to said purchaser, B. S. Jerman, upon the payment of said purchase price of six thousand and eighty-seven dollars and fifty cents ($6,087.60). "2. That the proceeds of said sale be deposited with the 'Special Fund' held by the City Treasurer for street im provements, and that the same be used exclusively for the purpose of keeping the 'pumps of said city in repair and other street improvements." GERMAN. Dance Given Complimentary to Mr. and Mrs. W. S. West. Last evening in the hall in the Henry Building, formerly occupied by the Capital Club, a delightful dance was given complimentary to Mr. and Mrs. William S. West, of this city. Music was furnished by the Haywood string band. The german was led by Mr. t Charles Dennis Heartt, and was participated In by many young couples until a late hour. Miss Carrie Smith, the chief operator of the telephone exchange is up again I B'ter two week's illness. Her many j friends will be glad for her to be in j the exchange again. TO ODD FELLOWS General Ntws of Sp cial In terest, to Members f tiV Older The Grand Secretary Visited Durham and Roxboro this week. Golden Link Lodge at Durham has work every meeting night. The committee -are considering plans for the building to be erected by Sea ton Gales Lodge. There were five applications for mem bership received by Ruth Rebekah Lodge at its last meeting. The Grand Lodge of Oregon has turned over their Orphans' Home to the Rebekahe to be completed. We very much fear that General Ap athy, that ever to be dreaded commai der, has too many of out members in his ranks. Several of the Lodges are wrestling with the law relating to sick benefits and cannot decide when a member should claim or disclaim them. The members of Capital Lodge, No. 147, are hereby notified to be at the regular meeting, Monday evening next, to consider a matter of vital interest to the Lodge. No excuses to be taken. The Iowa Odd Fellow of this month has this to say of preachers, which we would most cordially endorse: On another page Is printed a com munication from Indianola in reference to "prea.ehers belonging to the frater nity." While we do not fully endorse all that the writer has to say, we ap preciate the fact that ministers of the gospel and christians generally, who are members of fraternal organizations, do not use to the best advantage the opportunity they have of doing good. If such would become active and effl cient lodge workers, they would gain the confidence and esteem of their brothers as they cannot In any other way, and their Influence would corres pondingly Increase. Ministers especial ly are looked up to In lodges, and mem bers, regardless of church affiliations, are proud to have them enrolled as members. They are thus placed In a position to do much good. Here is a novel and unique social for some Rebekah lodge to hold : It is .called "Klondike School." All deco rations, programmesetc, are yellow, to represent the precious metal. In the center of the room Is a box filled with bran, In which is buried yellow nuts, each one bearing the name of a lady present, all being represented. The gentlemen are charged 1 cent for the privilege of digging for these "nug gets." Finding the lady whose name has been drawn, the discoverer leads her to some scales near at hand and the weight if both Is taken. He is then compelled to pay for the difference In their weight at the rate of 1 cent per pound. There was some things done at the recent session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge that we are glad was done. One was the adoption of the constitutional amendment compelling Grand Rep resentative to be a member in good standing of a Rebekah Lodge. Another was the adoption of a resolution, "that the possession of an official certificate for dues paid to a date later than that when the same is presented is of suffi cient authority for any Noble Grand upon proper identification, to communi cate to the holder the A. T. P. W. for the current year. This Is what ought to have been done before. A member who Is entiled to visit other lodges ought not to be prevented by neglect of his secretary In not sending him an order for the A. T. P. W. We approve also of the action defin ing who are the beneficiaries of a fu neral fund. They are defined to be the widow, orphans (under 21 years of age) dependent relatives, and relatives Upon whom the deceased was dependent., In case a member does not possess either of the above as beneficiaries and leaves no estate, the lodge can pay it to de fray burial expenses. It does not In any case become a part of his estate. We are also pleased with the resolu tion authorizing voluntary contribu tions for the establishment of a Na tional Sanitarium, and hope when it Is established it may be done in North Carolina. There were many propositions sub mitted, that were ' not concurred in, most of which we agree to, but some that we think should have been adopt ed. But we cannot all see alike and hence we are not expecting everything made to our liking. Taking it all in all we think there was more good than harm done, and that ought to be sat isfactory. CAPITAL CLUB. To Be Formally Opened Next Thursday Evening. The splendid new building erected by the Capital Club for their permanent home will be formally opened next Thursday evening, October 13th, with a reception and dance. This event has been looked forward to with great in terest by the Club members and will be the most brilliant social function of the season. Committees are at work In perfecting arrangemetns for the "house warming." Engraved cards have been sent outside of Raleigh to clubs and prominent people. THE CONFEDERATE TEA. Given by the young ladies, members of the Daughters of the Confederacy, passed off very pleasantly and success fully. It is understood that the amount realized was one hundred dollars gross. The young ladles are very grateful for the fine patronage bestowed and feel that their success, on this occasion, was due entirely to the good people of this community who have the care of the old Confederates so close to their hearts. The young ladies are to be congratulated on their success. The Daughters of the Confederacy are do ing a noble work in coming to the res cue of the Home for Confederate sol diers in its hour of need. A nobler work has not' been undertaken by the ladles of Raleigh, and their success Is a compliment to the city as well as to themselves. CHRIST SHURCH. Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity. Sunday school 10 a. m. Morning prayer 11 a. m. Evening prayer 5 p. m. Free seats. All invited. MARRIAGE OF POPULAR COUPLE. On Wednesday, October 5th 1898, at the residence of the bride, five miles south of Raleigh, Rev. J. W. Jenkins of the Methodist Episcopal church South and Dr. Eugene Daniel of the First Presbyterian church united in marriage Mr. John Henry Gill and Mrs. Hannah Whltaker. A large number of Raleigh's best people were present to witness the ceremony, and to extend their good wishes and congratulations to the con tracting parties. Quite a number of the bride's relatives and friends from the surrounding country were also present and were pleased with the beautiful and impressive ceremony us ed by the ministers on this occasion. The esteem in which the bride is held was slightly manifested by the numer ous and handsome presents as well as by the attendance already referred to. The bridal couple immediately repaired to this city where they took the north bound train and will visit a number of the principal cities and places of inter est. THE GREAT MINSTRELS. The Cleveland Wilson Minstrels, which will appear here next Friday evening in the Academy of music, are being billed like a circus. Neither Bailey nor Buffalo Bill have a greater variety of paper printed than has the dual company. When it came time to organize for this season both Wilson and Cleveland knew that the other was to be on the road and accordingly each organized the best company of his ca reer. Each ordered the showest and best printing to be had in unheard of quantities, in order to make the fight Just as hot as possible. Then came the union of forces. They saw that the other managers who had had compan ies in partnership, were dividing forces and weakening themselves, so thev came to the very sensible conclusion that there would be strength and mo ney in a combination of their compa nies. It took some shrewd diplomacy to get the rivals together, but the thing was done and the two companies are on the road together, giving double per formances after a dual street parade, with separate bands. The first part is dual. Organization has not destroyed individuality, for each show remains as organized. The union of forces requir ed more printing, so another order larger than either of the others was placed with lithographers with orders to rush. The result is that the show is advertised by paper for three com panies. CHRISTIAN CHURCH. Sunday school 10 a. m. Preaching at 11 a.m., and 7:30 p. m. by Rev. B. F. Black of Elon College.
