GONZALES A NOTED SIX0ER NOW RESIDES IN RALEIGH. This Celebrated Baritone Slater has Been Heard ia Many Parts of the World He is still a Good Sinter. This celebrated musician whose rich baritone voice has been heard in many of the world's grandest opera houses, but whose name and greatness is now but a dim memory of the plfst, is pow a resident of Raleigh this musician of former years is Prof. R. J. Gonzales, who forfy years ago was among the leading opera singers of the world. ' He Is now seventy-five years of age, and the grand 'career whioh he enjoyed for a score of years seems to him as a dream of the v past. Tall, slightly stooped, with large soulful eyes, hair which was once luxurant and wavy but now thin and gray; mustacb and long Imperial, an ideal musician in appearance. Tbe deep blue eyes have a dreamy cast, such is a faint picture of Prof. Gontales, as he now appears. Forty years ago when he was at the hight of his fame, he as very differnt in appearance. : He, in company with his father, moth er and tour brothers, came to this, coun try in 1845. He was then twenty-two years of age. His father, Don Theodoro Gonzales, was a Spaniard ' of a very .dlstioguiahadr family, aqd .iwas, for many 1 jears ine spanisn Amrwm? ' & Court of St. James. While visiting Ireland the Ambasador became enamoured with a thoroughly ed ucated young lady 'In Dublin, he'. native city, and married 'her,- The yong bari tone was not long in identifying him self among the leading operatio. artists in this country and the daily papers of bis time was full of references testify ing to the -merit? of the young baritone. His connection with the celebrated Mad ame Madam Thillon and Hudson English opera company; Madame Anna Bishop, celebrated English opera company; LUis Vsa Pine,- and Harrison English opera companies; Madame Pareppa's ' grand Italian opera company; Madame Son tag and Bringnole's grand Italian opera company. Special mention by the daily papers of New . York is given, noticing that the same part Count Arenheim, leading baritone, part in the celebrated opera. The Bohemian Girl, ; composed by Balfe, was takn by his eldest brother, when the opera was produced for the first time in Dublin, Ireland, In tbe year 1842. At the Theatre Royal during the period of his . greatest success. Prof. Gonzales crossed the ocean eighteen round trips to fill engagements in Lon don, Dublin, Liverpool, Paris Viena, Naples Madrid, Turin and Rome. He has- not appeared on the stage since our civil war.., The opening of the war found him enjoying magnificent prosper Ity. He sympathized with the South in her struggles and leaving a prosperous engagement in the Metropolis, he came South and ipltsted as surgeon and served from the beginning to the close of tho cruel war. Prof. Gonzales Is now living with his two sons. His wife, who was' .a cele brated planiBt and vocalist, died over tweBty-two years ago. A few days ago it was the pleasure of a representative of The Times-Visitor to. hear Prof. Gozles sing some operatic and orlotorio solos at Messrs. Miller and lizzie's music house. These solos were rendered in fine style. If .some of the leading churches could : Induce Prof. Gonzales to sing some of his rich solos it would be a rare treat to the congre gation. , V FOR RENT.

ATTEMPT TO ELOPE FUTILE Wife Pursued by Her Husband up Dawson Street' TRYED TO RUN AWAY EARLY THIS -MORNING West Bound Soataera Trala Stopped far a Searching Party Woman jumped From the Baggage Car and Ran. A genuine sensation occurred at the Union depot at about 3:40 this morning among the colored population. As a re sult of the escapade A. J. Simmons, a negro hack driver, this morning applied for a peace warrant against a negro named Hodges and his two 'sons. Sim mons says that he understands that bis life has been threatened because he hauled a runaway couple to the station last night but he professes ignorance that they were running away. ' Last night just as the Southern west bound train was ready to pull out two negro men rushed Into the depot In a wild state of excitement and declared tbat the wife of one of the men was running away with a negro preacher. This preacher is said to be named Sim mons and It is alleged tbat he is a holiness aevlne, surlng the sick by lay ing on the hands and working other mi racles. The conductor stopped his train and the two excited men rushed through the cars looking for the runaway woman. She evidently expected pursuit and be fore they reached her shevaped from tjie baggatfB car and, with skirts gath ered up In her arms, ran' at trfeak neck speed through the gate and up Dawson street. At least a dozen negroes strat ed in pursuit yelling "stop her," "stop her!" She was caught after a chase of half a square and brought back to the depot.. Her band box and other belong ings were then removed from the train and she was conducted home under strict guard by her Irate husband. The affair created a Bensation but it -OA gut ujiffST oi' iepo oqssodtn smees man's name. The negro A. J. Simmons, who drove the hack applied for a peace warrant against three negroes named Hodges but he did not have sufficient evidence at the time and he has now gone in the coun try on a picnic and cannot be found.

"Herrmann the Great"' witnessed the unveiling of the monument to George Washington, the Father ot this coun try, In Paris, France several years ago. The Impressive services and the elo quence of the orators of the occasion left a powerful impression on him. In a letter to his managers describing it be said he did cot know bow grand a thing American citizenship as, (nor had it been brought home to him so forcibly) until he heard the eloquent orators In Paris discourse on the Subject. He add ed to that, the statement that immediate ly upon his arrival in New York he would take out his papers and -become an American citizen. Thus indirectly has George Washington become the means of adding the world's greatest prestidigi tator to American citizenship. Herrmann will be in Raleigh August 22nd and also attend the unveiling of the statue of our beloved Vance. Tbat night at tbe Academy of- Music he will give one of his performances in "black" art, assisted by a company ot high-class vau deville artists ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION. Mr. R. N.
