A small body, now ever, emerged from the jungles on the extreme left yesterday and tired on the Kansas troops in their trenches, fatally wounding Private . Cohen, and Private Musi. Two Spanish prisoners scaped to the Kansas regiment and they report that tie Filipinos are concentiating their forces at Halabon and Porto to add only to Aguinaldo's body guard at Malos; also that the rebels apparently intend to stake their fortunes on the fight on the fight at Halabon where they expected an engagement today and if defeated they asserted that the rebels intend to disperse into the swamps and mountains.

Raleigh, N. C, March 23, 1899. Mr. Editor: That in almost every Is ue of your valuable paper I see some one -mentioned for aldermenic honors and all that have been brougnt out so far are good men. But I would call your attention to what I believe to bo a fact that two thirds of the voters off the first division of the third ward are mechanics and laboring men and I be lieve that the men who go out, work and sweat with us know our conditions and nyds better than people tab wojet needs better than, people that we do not as a rule come in contact with. And I think that the time has now com? that aome of our swart and progressive me chanics must forge their way to the front to champanlon the cause of their constituents. And in my opinion that with auch men as Faison and Spence to represent the first division of the third warj. That we will have two aldermen (nat will have the beat Interest of the city at heart and two who want to aee oar city beautified and improved. And who will " act from patriotic motives and Justice to all. So give ua Faison and Spence and we will have two aldermen (bat tba city will be proud off. MANY MECHANICS. . Third Ward. ' CROCKER FOR ALDERMAN. Mr. Editor: The first division of the third ward ants two qualifications in at least one of ita aldermen.

A man who baa made a success of his own bns- iness ia what ge want on the board. Such a man ia H. H. Crocker. iJHve us Crocker from the first district of the third and the interest of all will be intelligently cared for. . (MECHANIC FOR CHIEF. It is believed and hoped that Mr. P. B.

Mr. Editor: There has been a good deal said about the aldermen of the dif ferent wards, and as the time will soon be here to choose men to represent the city for the next two years, I desire as an umble citizen of the second division of the second ward to suggest the names of two gentlemen to represent us who are in every way qualified to do so, and will of elected nil their position with entire satisfactionn to the city mil cred it to themselves. They are both young and active men, and are thoroughly in sympathy with the best interest of the city in every particular. These men. Mr. Editor, are Messrs. W. H. Wil liamson and Robt. N. Simms. With all due respect to those who have been named in this ward, I do not thiuk that there could be a better selection than Messrs. Williamson and Simms, who are eminently qualified to act as Alder men. VOTER. HUNTER AND HOLLO WAT.' Mr. Editor: I see by yesterday even ing's paper the name of Carrey J. Hun ter, proposed as an alderman from the second ward. I- as a tax payer and a mechanic would like to name Mr. W. H. Holloway as a running mate for him. They are both capable and strictly hon est.

DID NOT VISIT DURHAM. (Durham Herald.) The party of New England editor have been telegraphed to Indefinitely postpone their visit to Durham. This step was taken by the Business Men's association for the reason that several of our factories had refused to permit them to be shown through and It was thought best to request them aot to come, as they could not inspect tha man ufacturing industries that have made the town famous the world over. We under stand that the cotton mills were tho first to refuse permission, and it will also be remembered that it was the cotton factory element that defeated the bill to have the limits of the town enlarged.. The owners of these milU have the r.ght to refuse any person admission to their planta, but it waa" treating the Muunesa Men's association aa well aa the editors with scant courtesy, to aay the least.

The dead are Mrs. Chapin, stenographer for Bradstreets, her two sons and a hoy named Smith. This was the second fire in the same building this morning. It is thought that the earlier . blaze was not entirely extinguished. OBSERVATION Editor of The Times-Visitor: It was very gratifying to the writer to see in corresponding columns of a late issue of your valuable paper, the article of our Mayor on the line of the suggestion made by me that the candidates for city offices should give us the views en tertained by them, on the several grave and important questions now before us. The question of water, that has been chemically treated like the Chicago beef furnished our soldiers in Cuba, how ever, innocently done by the Water Works Co., is of sufficient importance to command, that the views of the men who are to represent the city for the next two years in which time the matter of purchase of these works is to be dis posed of should be given. The discus sion on the streets by business men of this article of the Mayor, and the many expressions of approval heard, evinced the strongest interests in his views and the manly course taken by him to have them known before the meeting of the primaries. The grave and important questions of the issue of bonds for schools, and street improvement, are before us, and except in street discussion, the views of no single candidate all known. "Hear say evidence" is not ac cepted in la, and should not be when the vital interests of a community like ours are at stake. We surely cannot support men who refuse to make them selves knon to us! The full and satis factory reports made by Mr. John C. Drewry on our street improvements render his candidature for re-election a matter of absolute concern for the whole city, and ere I the worst enemy he had, I ould vote for him, that he might finish the work he has thus far done. This cannot be said of the finances of the city, or rather of the al dermen having charge of them, no ask ing for re-election, and iti s to be hoped that the information will be given before the primaries meet. Again, we are told of the desire on the part of several gentlemen to control the police force of the city. How are we to judge of their fitness unless they take us, into their confidence. Are we to understand that this important position is to be amed the shuttle cock of poli ticians, and be disposed of through boss preference? We hope at least to hear from the gentlemen whose names are offered for the place. "S." "DAIRYMAID'S TEA" TONIGHT. One of the societies of young ladies of the First Presbyterian church will entertain the congregation and all oth ers who may come, in the Sabbath School building this evening. "A Dairy maid's Tea" is announced, and, if you do not know, and "can't guess," what that may be, just "can't guess," what that may be, just come and you will learn, to your entire satisfaction, aa you partake of sweet refreshments, listen to sweeter music, and are entertained by well, the young ladies of the society! Price of admission, 10 cents. Cream and cake, 15 cents extra. Mr. C. B. Edwards, Jr., ho is north for his health is improving. This news is gratifying to hia friends in Raleigh. Rev. Dr. J. T. Gibbs, presiding elder Raleigh District, will hold the second quarterly meeting for Central M. E. church on Saturday evening at 8 o'clock in the lecture room and will fill the pul pit on Sunday. The First North Carolina Regiment will leave Havana Saturday for Sa vannah. They ill he mustered out April 10th, probably In Georgia. Let Raleigh give her returning warrlore a rousing reception. Let us start the hall rolling and prepare for a great reception in their honor. TTv TPTV Tf II 1
