People who think that" there are no fish in Crabtrce are mistaken, and those who visited Mr. Dughi'a store last night had the scales to full ' from their eyes.

In the afternoon about dusk they returned, and the quantity of fish they brought back was a revelation to the curious. They seined tho creek near the railroad bridge, and struck it right, for they had 200 pounds abcut half a barrel of fish; cats, eeh, mullets and various "small fry.". Several of the eels were a yardln length. In addition to those brought in, they gave Dr. Lewis, who chanced to be pass ing where they were seining, abont a thousand live perob, which were removed in a barrel of water to his flih pond. The fish at the store were put on ice last night, and to day Mr. Dughi is mak ing lis friends happy by presenting them with his spoils. Forty pounds were .donated to the Soldiers' Home this morning.

After our typographical error in yes terday's paper, when we made Mayor Rnss fine a disorderly party $87.25 in stead of 7.25 as was tne case, we thought it had seriously injured the bnsiness of that tribunal, by scaring off some of His Honor's old customers. Bnt they "bobbed up serenely" this morning '.as usual. One colored gentleman was $5.35 for blacking the eye of a lady friend and then biting her.When the lady waspnton witness stand, she said she had been too drinky to remember much about it, but "knowed she was hit and bit." 'W7 : Then another lady of color was brought up for disorderly conduct. Ac cording to a witness, she "hollered and rise racttedN and cussed a little, but didn't cuss loud." As this lady gener ally cusses loud, His Honor let her off this time, as a reward for her unusual , quietude, and adjourned court to find ont what the verb "rig-rag" meant.

' ' Last night about 7 o'clock, as the con gregation was assembling for services at Union Ridge church, about two miles and one-half south of Saelm, says the Greensboro Telegram, a bolt tf lightning struck a tree near the church, and de scending it left the tree and struck the assembled people, iistantly killing one woman, Mrs. Huntloy, and severely shocking several others. A man by the name of Heitman, standing in his wagon, was only slightly shocked, while his wife and several others who had just alighted from the wagon; were seriously hurt, two of whom it is thought will not recover. Mrs. Heitman's baby was thrown some distance from its mother, but strange to say it was not hurt, while the mother was badly injured. The meeting was broken up and great excitement and confusion prevailed. - The lady killed and those who were most severely shocked all lived near Gentreville, a suburban village of Win ston Salem. A Show Truly Moral. 'TLeTrreat John Robinson and Frank lin Bros.' Enormous Shows combined" are. announced to appear at Raleigh, in all their vast entirety, on Tuesday, October 19th, and for one day only, giving two complete performances, 'af ternoon and evening. All of our ex changes speak in the highest terms of this great amusement enterprise, and the many "tough hangers-on" which are so frequently found with large shows, are made conspicuous by their absence. There is not a game of chance of any kind permitted on or around the grounds. All v the attaches are gentlemen, and there is not a lewd or profane word spoken.; .-V;V ' ' It is a wonderiul sight to see the won derful "horseless carriage" in trial tests of speed at every performance and in the great double parade. The three rings and elevated stages are all going at one time, with entirely different acts Performers picked from the best the world affords, and there is more than four score of them, whose combined salaries would more than equal twice over the entire expense of the every day circus. The daily free street parade Is one mass of glittering manificence, con taining "scenes -from all nations" num erous open dens of rare wild beasts, twelve kinds of music, herds of elephants and the finest imported horses ever seen with a tented amusement enterprise. The coming of this, the woi Id's biggest amusement, 1b cause for a "regal" holi day in every city it visits, and it is worth coming a day's travel to see. A Theatre Hint. A little matter of thoughtlessness on the part of some of our young men at the theatres deserve attention. . ''..: Between the acts a good many people leave the hall That is all right of it self, and we have nothing to say against it, but it has been frequently noted that these people, are so, seated that they cause ladies a great deal of annoyance by their constant passing in and out. The ladies have kindly discarded the high bat, now let the boys follow suit and discontinue this annoying practice . It yon are going to cause annoyanoe to half a row, why try and tough it out. Chamber of Commerce. Tae regular monthly meeting of tbe members of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry will be held this evening at 8 o'olock in the Mayors office.

Will Introduce Bill to Amend Constltu- ' t ion as to Life tenure of Judges. ' A distinguished United States Senator from another State has written a letter to Justice Clark, of our Supreme Court, in which he highly ommends the ad dress which was delivered before the Tennessoe Bar Association, in which Judge Clark advocated the election of Federal Judges by the people - The Sen ator in question says that immediately upon the assembling of Congress, he will introduce a bill to amend the Constitu tion by mating United States Judges and District Attorneys elective officers. He also says that tho plank in the Chi- cagoplatform, whloh spoke of life tenures, had v reference the Federal Judicial y, and that it was want of "nerve and fear of diverting attention from the silver issue, which, during the campaign, al lowed it to be understood as applying only to 'clerks, and other subordinates, who are properly protected by civil ser vice rules. It is also stated that, at the next Democratic convention, the plat form will not only denounce "govern ment by Injunction," but will unequiv ocally demand that the United States udges be elected by the people and for term of years. In every instance where this has been an issue as to State judges, it has been successful,, and the Sonator thinks that it will meet with the people's approval in national politics. He says that life judgeships are unre publican. Tbe Senator was a conspicuous figure in the "convention that framed the Chi cago platform. It will be remembered that Hon. W. Br; an, editorially, in his newspaper, advocated the election of Uuited States Judges by the people up to his nomina tion for the presidency,, as he also did in his well-known lecture delivered throughout the Northwest, eutitled, Job and bis Boils."

The Temple Cup will stay in Baltimore another year. It has been won twice in succession for he first time in its history, and if the "Orioles" take it again it is theirs abso lutely. The former "Champions" also take 60 per cent of the money paid In at the gates during the three games in Bos ton and the two played here, while tbe winners of the "pennant" will get but 40 per cent unless, as is generally be lieved, the players have agreed among themselves to divide the spoils equally. To day's game, like ail the others of the series, save the first one, was an easy proposition for the Baltimoreans, who won much as they pleased, while the visitors never appeared to think they had any chance whatever. An audience so small that the management refused to give the exact number and so utterly de void of enthusiasm that scarcely a ripple of applause 'occurred, saw it done and appeared to ba glad than that the game which, by the way, was one of the shortest on record, was over and that the season was over with it There may have been a thousand people on the grourds, but " a better estimate would place the attendance at 750. This fact, in view of the pleasant weather which prevailed, indicates that Baltimore base ball enthusiasts have had a surfeit of the sport for the time being and that they do not look upon a "Temple Cup" game as being anything out of the ordi nary. At conclusion both teams dis banded and many of the players left for their homes, two of them, Jennings and Keliey, to prepare for the early assump tion of marital responsibilities.
