' The festivities of the State Fair ended last nluht or rather at 4 o'clock this morning with the "Marshals' ball," given at the Yarboro house under the auspices of the Capital Club. GoV. and Mrs. RusBell and nearly all the State officers were present, It was an exceptionally handsome affair. At 1 o'clock this morning private Secretary J. E. Alexan dor presented Chief P. H. Lybrook witli a gold chain, and gold headed cane, ou behalf of the Marshals, of whom there were more present than at any fair ever held here. Thcro has been great disappointment this week that the weather has been so terrible that the races had to be called off out at the Fair grounds. There was a regular down pour all yesterday morn ing and the crowd was very small. There was every prospect for a Bplcndid fair both in point of exhibits, and financially, but the weather has hurt both, The local cotton recepts in this market by wagon arc so far this season only 7,441 bales, against 11,023 to the corres ponding date last year. Merchants who supply farmers with provisions, etc.. were asked if farmers are holding cotton and say yes, much more than ususl. The Secretary of the cotton exchange says that SO per cent of the farmers aro in debt now, that a great many are holding cotton for a rise and this is largely duo to the fuct that the merchants are not prcssiug them for what they owe. There is no end of laughter at Gov. Russell's statement as to having a pocket full of railway passes, and at his reasons for taking them. He is placed In a pe culiarly awkward position. Sam Wright, the negro robber, who cut W, A. Carr's throat in a Btore in Wayne county, is to be hanged at Golds boro November 10. Gov. Russell is said to regard the virt ual deposing from power of the peniten tiary superintendent as quite a victory. Revenue Agent J. C. Wheeler Is here, making a very careful inspection of the office of Revenue Collector Simmons, which always ranks A 1. ' The question is being considered wkether the Episcopal missionary jurisdic tion of Ashevilie be erected into a dio cese. The excitement over gold mining in the Piedmont section of Hie State is increas ing daily. Valuable discoveries are being made. Populists are losing ground in two directions the one part going towards the Democrats and one portion towards the Republican. Thus both Butler and Harry Skinner are losing ground. The "free pass" question comes to head in the arrest of the sheriff of Bun combe and the ticket agent of tho South ern railway at Ashevilie, because the sheriff had a free pass. It Is the comment here that the three bank failures at Ashevilie are dne entire ly to Asheville'f burst "land boom." Most of the exhibit! were removed from the State fair 'grounds today. W P. Batcbelor, manager ot the races at the fair, says the liberality of the manage ment in refunding all entrance money and paying freight on horses to the next racing places bas made a great hit with the racing men and that next year, a a result, thcro will be an unprecedented number of entries.- . Raleigh has purchased the machinery from the Greystone, Cranito and Con struction Co. and will put It in the quar ries out near the olty and thus get much of the granite for the street Improve ments. ' It is said the penitentiary hoard onoe before adopted a resolution that no vouchers should be paid unless approved by the chairman of the board and two of the executive committee, but found it could not take away any ot the superinten dent's powers. Of course if he acmiletaa all these things can be done, but under the law, if he stands on bis rights, he it absolute. ' ' . - . i - . W. O.

Diegle was disguised and "spotted'' Campbell, and at first wanted to kill him. But late at night all seemed recon ciled. The woman agreed to go back to Marion, Ohio, with her husband provid ed the latter did not prosecute Campbell with whom she is infatuated. Campbell pays $60 costs. At 4 o'clock this morning Mr. and - Mrs. Diegle left for home. Campbell is held in jail long enough to give them a good start. He says the woman is madly in love with him.

Silence May be Uold en this Time. Figuring on the Result. Tammany In the Lend. New York. October 22. There is a man of nerve on Platen Island, now the borough of Richmond, soon to be part of the larger New York who says that in the event that Judge Van Wyck takes the stump during this municipal cam puign he will attend every meeting and, at the risk of being ordered f.om the halls by the police, he will ask the Demo- cralic candidate for mayor: "Do you stand squarely on the Chicago platform';' in the event that tins question is answered in the affirmative, the question will be asked: "Do you believe in the free and' unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1, without waiting for the aid or interference of any Oilier na tion on earth?" If Judge Van Wyck answers ,his question either in the affirm ative or the negative, it is a good bet at the ratio of 10 to 1 that Mr. Van Wyck will never become mayor of Greater New York. Tun trouble with tlr's "smoking out" process is that Judf,e Van Wyck will in all probability never take the stump. He may make a few speeches in the "houses of his friends" at Tammany Hall before a select circle or at his own personal headquarters in the Bnitholdl Hotel Though he is advertised to speak In every bo.ough of the new city before the close of the campaign, it is said to be diamonds to dollars that he will do nothing of the soil. However much one may dislike the policy of evasion adopicd by Van Wyck and Ills advisers, one is forced to admit that up to the present time the tactics of silence have proved a winning card. A calm, fair, dispassionate analysis of his letter of acceptance shows it to contnin many points which appeal to the resi dents or New York city. At least one organ which has been on the fence to considerable extent, dodging between Van Wyck and George, practically makes the Van Wyck tetter the occasion 'or clambering down on the Tammany Hull side. The candidacy of Henry George ii worrying the Democratic managers. In Ihe last few days ex-Postmaster Dayton has practically taken charge of George' canvass, ex-Congressmau Tom L. John son has taken a back seat, and the cam paign is now being conducted on plans mapped out by Mr. Dayton. That he is meeting with some success is conceded, Political mathematicians are figuring upon what is going to happen at the polls, taking tho registration und nomi nal party votes as a bariB, and making an estimate of how many votes Low and George will draw from each of the regit lar candidates. The registration of 368,' 000 first had a nominal discount of 7 per cent, taken off.which leaves 525,000 votes ot which 00,000 are said by one calcula tor to belong to the Democracy and 225, 000 lo the Republican party, without any i tide Issues. George it credited with di verting 75,000 from Van Wyck, tnd Low and Gelason 40,000, leaving 183,000. Low is given 112,500 Republi- can votes and 80,000 Democratic, which would leave Tracy with but 112,000 and give Van Wyek 183,500. at Latest Ileai. The gold reserve stands at f 151,411, 149. There hat been an Increase of aboit 3,800,000 in the reserve since Octo ber i. A hundred miles of the Uganda rail way in Africa have been completed, but not formally opened.

Journal Bureau, ) Washington, D. C, October 23. i" While the guesses being made con cerning the nature of the financial re commendations that will be made in tin annual report of the Secretary of the Treasury to Congress and endorsed by the President's message mav all be wrong, it is a certainty that financial recommendations will be made and that financial legislation will be asked of Con gress. The administration financial bill, whatever it may be, can easily be put through the House, unless it slmuld hap pen to be opposed by Speaker Reed, which, while possible, is not probable. n the Senate is where the interest cen ters, and the key to the control of that body is probably held hy those Republi can Senators who are silver men, but who declined to join the bolt led from their oarty by Senator Teller. Hy a sort of tacit consent Senator Wolcolt, who is the head of the silver commission hich has just been turned down bv England, is recognized as leader of Uice Senators. Their attitude towards linan cial legislation is not likely to bo known ntil they know just what sort of legis lation will be attempted. Without their support no administration bill can p.'it the Senate. Some speculation is being indulged in here as to the attitude that will be as sumed hy Scan tor Wolcott on his return from Europe, after having failed to ac compllsh anything in the way of an in ternational agreement for the benefit ol ilvcr. Mr. Wolcott is the leader of those sen ators from the silver Stales who refused to bolt from the Republican party when the nt. Louis platform was adopted, ami who remained in the party w ith Ihe hope of bringing it back to their way of think- ng or of accomplishing "something for silver" through the medium of the new Administration. Having had his way, and having failed, the question is whether he will lie eon tent to remain with the party and con fide in its wisdom, or whether ho will conclude to be a belated convert to tin theory of Teller, Dubois et als, that the Republican parly cannot lie brought to free coinage of silver by any sort of means, and will go over lo ihe other side.

The sentiment continues to be verv much mixed and the crop gut-sseis are widely apart; the estimates being all the way from 0 million bales to KH million bales. Probably the best opinion centers around the guess of 9.300,000 to 0,000.000 or about 9,300,000 bales as an nverage guess. The receipts are increasing as the natural result of the yellow fever scare subsiding and the lifting or the quaran tine at Southern ports. It looks now- as though the total coming into sight for tho month might carry the total for tin season to November 1st up to nrouml 2,800,000 bales which approaches average of deliveries in seasons where the crop actually counted out over 0,000,000 bales. The condition of the cotton mar. ket is attracting general attention and the prospect of planters receiving so much less than last year, excites tome little apprehension as to the elTect the prosperity of the South and the rellex influence such adverse condition m a further decline would suggest as likely to follow in other circles. On the other hand, the reports of prospects of tho to ciop aro not encouraging. On the whole, the position of cotton is no more favorable, though the same rea son for buying it, exist now that have been so prominent during the season The stocks are so low und the price so reasonable that there can be but little risk la investing. The turn will probably como when least expected and is now long overdue. Exports from September 1st to dale have been 838,570 bales sgainst 022,872 last year. Port stocks are about 046,25 bales against 1,014,783 bales last year. Macy and Pendleton, 451 Broadway, New York.
