Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 3.
At the negro fair yesterday the Gov
ernor was billed for a bis; speech, but he
got on the train and went to Wilmington
and did not even send an excuse. This
will probably be noticed before the con
venlion tonight.
Today the negro convent' m met.
Howe, ofJWilmington and E. A. John-'
son of Raleigh were the applicants for
the chairmanship. Johnson was the
favorite. The convention was to demand
recognition ot the negro by the Re
publicans, or; else to know the reason
why.
On the 1 1 tli there is to be a large gatli
ine of'lndiefi here to attend a big mis
sionary , meeting. It will lie one of the
largest gatherings of ladies Yver held
ere.
Charlotto has raised $4,200 for a nion-
meut to Governor ance. Asheville

Ooly a few hundred dollars lias been
secured fur a memorial here, and but
Utile of that came from the citizens of
Raleigh. The old Vance j homestead at
Charlotto was sold this week for
tt,300.
Governor Russell is being critieized
for granting so many pardons, and also
for granting them secretly. Many times
convict has been pardoned ..ml no one
out side of the penitentiary has been
told.
Today like Sunday is an ideal day.
While the ground is rather damp the sun

Judge Purnell is holding U. S. court
i Wilmington this week. He opens
court here Dec. Oth. There are about
100 eases docketed for the court here.
On the 8th of November Judge Purnell
will be in Richmond, Va., to lake up the
Hunzey-Langdon case at Chambers. The
sale of the Cumnock mines will be either
confirmed or rejected. Judire Purnell
will make his initiul appearancs in the
court ot appeals in Richmond. Chief
Justice Fuller will preside.
Ihe hunting season is fully opened
and partridges uro plentiful.
In the superior court here there was
today argument heard in nu i merest in
case. When the Bank of New Hanover
failed its branch bank at Wadesboro was
solvent. The argument was one whether
the assets of this branch shall be paid
first to the creditors of this bank or be
listr United to the general creditors of the
Bank of rlew Hanover. A receiver was
appointed when the bank failed, but the
State Treasurer said he only had the
right to move to appoint a receiver. It
was decided he was right. The question
to be decided is whether the Judge was
right in upholding tne State Treasurer's
ideas.

TO TAUNT SPAIN.
tnmoat Tnur Three FrlrmlM to en o
Hitvniin. Nilver Heels litiiiils liter
Cj.rfr;o.
Jacksonville, Fla., November 1. The
famous tug Three Friends left here last
evening towing the schooner Hartley,
loaded with cattle for the Havana mar
ket. She left the river amid the boom
ing of cannon, screaming of whistles and
ther salutes. The side of the cruiser
Vesuvius was crowded with men and of
ficers as she passed.
Hack of this trip lies a rumor that the
Cuban Junta has sent Ihe Three Friends
to Cuba in the hope that her previous
eputalion may cause the Spaniards to
seize her and thus afford an excuse for
American men-of-war to enter Havana
harbor.
It Is rumored that the Cuban Junta
has put up the price of the vessel aud
that she is to go into Havana harbor.
It is their hope that the Spaniards will be
so resentful of her past reputation as n
filibuster that they will seize her, not
withstanding the presence of a United
States official on boarrd, thus coninlicat
ing matters and making the United
Slates iuterfere, In that case they are in
hopes that the incident will be enlarged
upon in the present stale of public opin
ion, thus forcing the Washington oliieials
to interfere and perhaps indirectly aid the
insurgents by making trouble for the
Spanish authorities.
It is now believed the Silver Heels has
sailed directly to Cuba by the outsid
passage and there landed the arms and
ammunition sho carried, or that she met
a steamer, presumably the Dauntless and
transferred the munitions to that vessel.
The attempt of the navy to repair the
error committed by the federal
authorities in Norfolk in permitting the
departure of the Silver Heels will proba
bly not relieve the United States of lia
bility for damages to Spain in this case.
Frost In IjiialHlnllfl.
New Orleans, November 2. The
weather today was still cold and clear,
and there are hopes that if it keeps up
there will be more frost.
The situation is; considerably brighter
in this city, everybody feeling that the
present cold spell is going to kill the
fever. There was heavy frost all over
the State last night, and the effect of it is
shown by the receipt of n number of or
ders for goods by local merchants from
places which had quarantined against
New Orleans.

Ohio Claimed by Both Parties. Com
plete Figures From l.reater
New York. Baltimore
Elects Republican
Mayor.
The returns from Tuesday's election
have come in very slowly and the result
is still more or less in doubt in Maryland
and Ohio with the chances favoring the
Democrats.
The last report as received over the
wire last is as follows:
'Dcmocrats carry Maryland. Republi
cans carried the legislature. Ohio is slill
doubtful. Both Republicans ami Demo
crats claim the State. Hanna claims the
legislature but by only two majority.
The Democrats claim the legwlalurj by
seven majority."'
Following is the grand total of the
votes received by the three leading can
didates for mayor in Greater New York,
complctereturns laving been received
from all of the districts:
Van Wyck, 2:to,lS.
Low, MS.5I3.

56S.

been elected Mayor of the newly-created
city of Greater New York, is at present
Judge of the city court of New York
citv.
lie is a thorough and steadfast "organ
ization"' man, supporting Tammany al
all times, aud under all hazards.
It is said he was chosen from aiming
other candidates for ihe mayoralty on ac
count of his tested loyally to the views
and wishes of the leaders of that organi
zation. He was never before a candidate for
any office except for jndc of the t iiv
court.
In the city of Baltimore Malsler, h'e
publican, was elected Mayor by a plurali
ty of about li.UtIO ami the Slate licl el by
about half that number.
Incomplete returns from Ohio indi
cate the election of Gov. liushuell and
the Republican Stale ticket by twelve
thousand majority, the legislature being
in doubt.
The plurality for Shaw, the candidate
'or Governor of Iowa, will not exceed
20,000, although the rest of Ihe ticket
will run somewhat ahead. There lias
been a falling oil of 20 per cent, in the
vote as compared with last year. The
Republicans have sulfered Hi per cent of
the loss.
Maj. J. Iloge Tyler is elected Governor
of Virginia by 50,000 majority ami the
Legislature is overwhelmingly Demo
cratic, hue the vote was light the
majority in the State is substantial.
In Nebraska the fusion Democratic
ticket is certainly elected, and in Colo
rada the fusion Republican ticket wins.
Massachusetts is Republican by (Ci.non
and Boston elects a Republican Mayor.
Pennsylvania likewise goes heavily
Republican.
Weaver, Democrat, was elected Maj or
of Louisville, Ky., and the returns from
