News of the death of Hardie Hogan Helper, who will be remembered by all the older citizens of Raleigh, was re ceived here last night. His history and that of his brothers is closely interwoven with the stirring scenes enacted in this section just before uud after the war. The Helpers were natives of this State, having been reared near Salisbury. They were Abolitionists before the Civil War. Rowan Helper, a brother of the deceased, wrote a book entitled "The Impending Crisis." This was published about 1858 and is said to have other publication except "Uncle Tom's othe ntiblieutiou except "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The book so enraged the feel ings of the Southern people that efforts were made to prevent its transmission through the mails in the South. The book is said to have provoked a personal encounter between the author, who wan then living iu Washington, and Hon. Hurk Craig, who was representing the Salisbury district in Congress. However, Hardie Hogan Helper lived iu Raleigh and was the head of the Republican fuctiou which opiwsed Gov ernor Holden's faction after the war. He was a large nwn of fine appearance, and was a man of considerable means. He was of a quiet disposition. He edit ed a semi-weekly paper here and his editorial office was the old Raleigh Reg ister place, where the Pullen Building now stands. The paper was printed by a firm, of which Mr. John NichoN was a member, where the Raleigh Savings Bank is. The Baltimore Sun of yesterday spoke as follows of his death: Mr. Alexander Helper, Seereta-y of the Retailer's Association, received a telegram yesterday announcing the death of his father, Mr. Hardie Hogan Help er, at the" family estate near Bailey, N. C. Mr. Helper was born in 1822 and in 1S50 went to Washington unier the Flluiore Administration to work fn the Navy Department. In 1855 he was ap pointed clerk of the Superior Court or Rowan County, North Carolina. He belonged to a stanch Whig family, and his brother, Ilinton Rowan Helper, bus the author of "The Impending Crisis." which apiM-ared iu 1857, being a strouir indictment against slave holding. This book caused considerable political ; x citement and was brought out in New York after a Buitimore publisher re fused to issue it. Involuntary expatriation for the Hel per family followed the issuance of this book and Hardie Hogan Helper went to Illinois to live. When the civil war broke out he volunteered iu the Eigth Illinois Cavalry under Colonel John T. Fnrnsworth. In February, 1861, he was mustered out of that regiment with the rank of Major, and sent by Secretary Stanton to join the staff of General Burnside. In March, 1862, under orders from General Burnside, he attempted to destroy the railroad bridge over the Trent river at Newberne, within the Confederate line. From General Burn side's staff he Was transferred to the Quartermaster's Department, under General Sexton, In Florida. After the war was Assessor of the Third District of North Carolina, receiving his appoint ment from President Johnson. During reconstruction times he was called upon by PresidenUJohnson to submit a plan for organizing thoOonfedera te States under the Federal rConstltution. He then presented the following:' -' '"Permit North Carolina to reconstruct under the old Constitution of 1835, save and except negro slavery. "Allow all negroes In the South who were free before the war the right to vote." " ' "Allow all the negroes who were set free by President Lincoln's proclamation who could read and write the tight to vote. ' '- "' ' ; - "Allow ail negroes on becoming 21 years of age who could read and write the. tight to. vote." ' i This scheme of reconstruction, when read by President Johnson, tt is said, called for the following comment: "Mr. Helper, your Ideas of reconstruction are laconic and- simple, and appear to be strong, sensible and just, but what, can I do with an ; overwhelming Congress against me?" - . w .Mr. Helper afterward engaged In journalism ia North Carolina, and bought the Raleigh Register, and after ward the Holden Record. He la credit eel with establishing the first illustrated newspaper in the South. Of recent years he has led quiet life on the fin! 'y estate In Davles county, near A STREET AFFRAY THIS AFTERNOON Postmaster Bailey and Mr. Dement Have a Brief Encounter in Front of the Posl.Office. This afternoon about two o'clock an affray took place between Postmaster O. T. Bailey and Mr. Dement, who has the contract for carrying the mail to the depot, in front of the postoffice on Fayetteville street. The eueounter was quite spirited and when the combatants were parted Mr. Bailey had his anta-1 gonist on the ground, where a little ; patch of grass is trying to yrow between the sidewalk pavement and the street. The origin of the trouble is euid to have been the Postmaster's criticism of the vehicles, harness and horses used by the mail carrier. Mr. Dement took of fence at the strictures and told Mr. Bailey that he should not talk to him s.,. This led to a blow, but who cast the first lick seems unsettled. Several witnesses parted the gentle men and Deputy Sheriff Riddick, who was soon on the scene of action, sum moned the defendants and witnesses tn uppeur before Justice Roberts at 5 :3i this afternoon. Mr. Bailey had a scratch on the fore head and each cheek and knocked the little finger of bis right hand out of joint, while the other had a few scratches. An eye witness who say the affray gave this account: "1 saw Mr. Bailey standing on the ls)ttom step at the southeast entrance of the postoffice. Mr. Dement was standing on the side walk. I could not say positively wh" struck the first blow but they had been talking scarcely a minute when it hap pened. Then both of them were on the sidewalk and seemed to lie pushing a I each other's face with open bauds. Then they caught each other by the arm,- uud Mr. Bailey seemed to slip. How ever, when they came down together Mr. Bailey got on top and appeared to hit Mr. Dement several times." The three scratches on Mr. Bailey's face clearly showed that they were made at the same time by being punched in the face by an open had, the finger nails making the scratches. He was holding Mr. Dement flat on the ground when separated. making the scratches. QUARTERMASTER OEN. HARDEN RESIGNS Major Francis A. Macon of Hendersm May Succeed Him. Quartermaster General J. W. Harden, of the State Guard, to-day tendered his resignation assigning ns his reason the prees of jSfivate business. Mr. Harden has made a fine official and is one of Raleigh's best business men.

On Sunday evening, Octo ber 1, the special train from Washing ton conveying the reception committee w ill reach New York and the party will spend Sunday night there. The special train will start from, New York on its return trip on Monday, with Admiral Dewey and the detachment of sailors from the Olympiu on lsard, so as to ar rive ut the Pennsylvania depot in Wash ington between seven and eight o'clock on .Monday evening, October 2nd. A number of requests have been sent iu from committees in Elizabeth, Tren ton, Philadelphia, Chester, Wilmington, Baltimore uud other towns aloug the route, asking that arrangemenits be made for short stops of the triumphal train, in order to give the citizens an op- IMirt unity to greet the great sea cap tain. But it is unlikely that any of these requests will be acceded to, as to do so would much protract the time of the journey, and the Admiral's state of health renders him unfit to endurse inch a continuous straiu. As the train pulls iuto Pensylvania depot in Washington, the roar of artil lery will signal the arrival of the dis tinguished guest, and Pennsylvania Avenue will burst into a blaze of light from the Capitol to the Treasury De pailiuent. As at present planned, the State, War and Navy Buildings, the I'euce Monument, the Hancock Statue, the fountain at the corner of Ninth street, the rese"- tion at the corner of Thirteenth street, and the dome of the Capitol will be outlined with fairy lamps. 1 ennsylvania Avenue itself will appear as a long arch of parti-colored fires, red lire being burned ut 200 places along the route, while 12,000 batteries on each side of the street throw streams of tri- colored stars in such a way as to form a relies of fire. As Admiral Dewey emerges from the Pennsylvania depot ut Sixth street, es corted by the reception committee, he will enter his carriage and take his place at the head of the parade. The I Olynipia s men, headed by the United Stutes Marine Bund, will tukc position immediately behind him, and the pro cession will start westward up Penn sylvania Avenue to the Treasury Build- ng. Here the Admiral will leave his carriage, and take his position on the reviewing stand, past which the proces sion will file. Besides the military aud uavul organizations of the District of Columbia, the militia from a number of surroiiudiug States will be iu line, and there will be a magnificent showing ninde by the secret societies, and other local organizations. The illumination of the Avenue will last for two hours that the parade is estimated to rake in passing the reviewing stand. General Miles will be the Grand Marshal of the parade. Next day, Tuesday, October 3, the magnificent Sword of Honor voted by Congress will be presented to Admiral Dewey by Secretary Long of the Navy Department. The presentation will take place at the. east front of the Capitol, late in the afternoon, upon a stand to be erected out from the east steps. This stand will purposely be small, accommo dating no more than 200 members of Admiral Dewey'B party and the invited guests. President McKinley will sit be side the Hero of Manila upon the stand, while the Cabinet officials and other dis tinguished persons will occupy places about him, , , . But though the stand ha purposely been kept small, ' the interesting cere mony to be performed upon it la likely to be witnessed by a larger crowd than has ever assembled in- that hoge plasa before, even at the moot largely attend ed Presidential Inauguration. A rail road rate from all points to Washington of one and one-third fare for the round trio is assured, while tickets . will be good for long enough time to allow', a stay of foor or five days in Washing ton. -t's:fti:v:i i-v;-,: The Sword of Honor to be presented to' Admiral' Dewey .was.

Next week for five consecutive nights, commencing Tuesday, September 28th, Lee, the greatest Hypnotist of them all, and with a specially selected company,' who has made the world marvel at his extraordinary and wonderful power, will be at the Academy of Music. Lee Is this week filling a week's engagement at Wilmington and the following has been taken from the Messenger: "Lee and his company of hypnotists opened their week's engagement at the opera house last night, and the large audience that greeted the eminent mas ter of hypnotism demonstrated plainly that his popularity in Wilmington is decidedly not on the wane, but rather, like wine improves with age, for this is Lee's third engagement in this city. The audience was really a gigantic one, that packed densely both the parquet and dress circle of the threatre, while the gallery also accommodated a large crowd. The 'S. R. O." sign was put forth at 8 o'clock, thirty minutes pre vious to the commencement of the per formance, so the large crowd around the book office that never appeared to di minish in size, had to be content with clamoring for standing room. When the performance started promptly at the ap pointed hour all the available standing room was occupied." ' Reserve seats will be on sale Friday at Bobbitt-Wynne's drug store. Prices 10, 20 and 30 cents. One lady free on Tuesday night with each paid 80-cent ticket. NO ODDS TO THE DISPENSARY. He Knew There was one Here ind had Prepared for it in Advance. (Greensboro Record.) You can't fool an old stager. They have traveled. They have been all over the world, more or less, and they have an eye open to business. For instance, Gill. Robinson, second son of the old showman, John Robinson, was here the other day with the circus. Mr. Robinson has been in North Caro Una almost every year since he was a boy and in Greensboro as often, so that he has a number of friends here. Last week when he dropped down here with the big show he soon found them. After an exchange of greetings one gentleman remarked that there had tieen several changes since he was here, ; "i r'f among them a dispensary, and then he K, ;;s'' commenced twitting Gill, over the fact - that he could not get a drink without -V'.vi going to the place where It is dispensed in quantities not smaller than a. half : pint '.;"v!f : "Don't you fret about me," said "the ' v: showman; "I knew you had a dispell- jritf'.t.i sary here heard of it long ago, and . know all about it.
