.".- tarn THE LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION ENABLES THE TIMES' PATR0N8 TO SECURE THE BEST EE8ULT8. "NOTHING SUCOEEOS ' - LIKE SUCCESS." 17 YOU WANT TO SUCCEED ADVERTISE IN THE DAILY TIMES. Vol,!. GRIM BATTERY We Should Have it at the Fair. A HISTORIC COMPANY FOUGHT, WITH CREDJT IN CONFED ERATE ARMY. A Comparatively Small Sum Needed to Entertain Its .Members While In Raleigh. O le of the mos no'ed artillery organ izations in Virginia la Glass' Battery, of Portsmouth. T secure its attend ance, during fair week, wonld be a draw ing card to that great exhibition which will begin on the 19th of this month. ' The gentlemen who compose the com pany in question are willing to bear their travelling expanses which will be quite heavy, as cannon and horses are to be brought but it is only proper that the people of Raleigh should receive them in a manner becoming the dignity of a hos pitable city when entertaining dlstin gniahed military guests from a neighbor ing State. Grimes' Battery is an old Confederate organization which still maintains the high reputation which it won nnder the stars and bars. In these peaceful days onr people should be prond to honor the men who were united with us in time of danger. Oar highly - esteemed fellow-towns man, Mr. W. n Hughes, served with this company in the Confederate army, and was under Capt. Gary F. Grimes, its commander, when that gallant officer was slain at the battle of Sharpsburg. Under a different name, says Mr. Ilnghes, the company had an existence long prior to our late war, having been in the War of 1812, and possibly in the Revolution'. After the death of Capt, Grimes, the company was temporarily disbanded, and its members assigned to other commands in the Confederate ser vice, but the battery was re-organized directly after the cessation of bostil itles. It is necessary to at once raise a sum sufficient for the proper entertainment of these gentlemenN The management ' of the fair has already made' a band some contribution. A committee selected from the Gov- ernor's Guard, and other citizens, will wait on those who are disposed to con tribute. All sums ' received will be acknowledged through The Times Now lot the citizens of lUlelgh show that they are not wanting In hospitality, And They Fit.

ASSAILANT IDENTIFIED THERE ARE VERY SLIM CHANCES FOR HER RECOVERY. The Brutal Scoundrel Now in Henderson. vllle Jail-He Has Had Some Trouble In Court Before. A special from He .dersonville yester day gives a very sad account of a brntal assault upon a ll year-old daughter of James Case. The details so far as can be learned are as follows: Perhaps the most dastardly crime ever committed in Henderson county, and one that is even more disgraceful and revolting than the Kittie Henderson af fair in Buncombe, was the brutal assault anJ attempted murder of the little 11 year old daughter of James Case, who resides in the Ridge settlement. Monday afternoon on her return from an errand to a neighbor's house, she was suddenly approacnea ny a strange white man, who immediately seized her and threw her down. She began to scream for help and he told her to hush or he would kill her, and as she continued her appeals for aid ho struck her upon the head with a rock, indicting ugly wounds and ex posing the skull and greatly endanger ing the life of the littlt girl. Dr, J G Waldrop, of Hendorsonville, was called and dressed the wound. He says the girl's clolthing was all muddy and torn, as if she had been er gaged in a conflict -with some wild beast of the forest ; The whole neighborhood was in arms Monday n'ght, and Sheriff Williams' deputies with them. A man bearing the description of the fiendish scoundrel was found at Kimsoy ShlpmanV, in the edge of Polk county, and brought to County Commissioner Jonos. Ha gave his name as Parm and said he was from Mills River. He, of course, denied the charge, and said he bad not seen the girl. He has been seen in the C.:s9 settlement since Saturday, and is believed to be the man who committed the outrage. Mr. Ship man's family say Le came to their house after dark. He says his mission was to rent a mill. This same fellow had tron ble about the disappearance of some toll frbmmlll in the Mills River section at the last term of court Parm was taken before his victim yes terday morning, and Identified a the man who committed the outrage.

HOME-MADE MONEY. An Unusual Case Comes Up in tbe era! Court at Greensboro. Fed- A rather novel and unusual matter claimed the attention of the Federal Court at G.eensboro this week, says the Telegram. It seems that a party or par ties at Wilkesboro have been issuing their own money. It is a very simple thing and a habit that has been for a longtime, and is yet, indulged in to a greater or less extent. The merchant, instead of a due bill, gives his customer in exchange for pro dec 9, a kind of check, promising to pay to bearer or order a stipulated amount, This scrip easily circulates around the neighborhood where the merchant or signer is known, and where his credit holds good. There is a statute, though it has been almost forgotten, against this kind of business. A number of lawyers did not know ithad either never known it or had forgotten its existence Tie case in point at this term was con sidered by the judge, and the solicitor instructed not to draw a bill, as the par ties were totally ignorant of any viola tion of law. A MONSTER DOUBLE MENAGERIE With John Robinson and Franklin Bros, Shows Combined. The menagerie department of these combined shows is beyond a donbtthe greatest that the world has ever known. The two menageries have been blended into one, and the combining of these two separate and distinct departments alone would make a display the equal of which has never been seen in this country. There are two distinct herds of elephant", camels, and all sorts of lead stock, two separate depart mo a ta of lions, tigers, panthers, and the only pair of real black tigers that has ever been seen in this country. The den of polar bears is a positive revelation to amusement seekers and the same thing was never seen in this country before with a traveling show. A great many dens of rare wild beasts are displayed daily in the magnificent street parade, which is free to all, and will take place daily at 10 a. m. And tbe very important fact mnst not be overlooked that the parade, like every other department of these great shows is a double one, nnlike any eyer before seen. Many shows have and do at the present time advertise dishonestly that they have two shows in one, but there has never been a combining of two really great shows in this land before, and peo pie who are in donbt as to tbe genuine ness of the putting together of the John Robinson and Franklin Bros.' Shows can readily set their minds at rest. This monster emnsement institution comes to Raleigh, N. O , October 19th, for one day, and will give two complete per- formanc33. "Joshua Slmpklns." This attraction will be seen at Metro politan Opera House Friday night, Octo ber 15th. The play Is made of fun aud realism, combining the) pleasing featnres of realistio melodrama and tbe ever popular rural play.

THE WORK OF FOUR MEN. Train Held up and the Passengers Re lieved of Every cent. Austin, Tex , Oct. 12 This afternoon at 5:30 o'clock, within twelve miles of the corporate limits of Austin, the south bound cannon ball on the International and Great Northern railroad, consisting of mail, baggage and express cars and three coaches loaded with passengers, was held np by four men and robbed. The conductor of the train, Tcm Healy, was shot by the robbers while resitting them, but not seriously wounded. The passengers were robbed of about $200 in money. The bandits attempted to rifle the safe in the express car, but were unsuccessful. When the train reached McNeill, a small station four miles above this city, two men, haavily armed, boarded it and stood on the rear platform. After the conductor had checked up the train he reached the platform, only to find a pis tol at either side of bis head. The men demanded that he stop the train. He declined to do so and began to run through the train with the two robbers in close pursuit. The foremost robber shot at him, bringing him to the floor with a pistol wound in his right arm. The train was brought to a standstill, and two men with masks on stepped ont trom the trees and began shooting at the car. The two men on the train were joined by those from the woods and they began work. The robbers, in the meantime, leaving two men to guard the three coaches, which were packed with passengers, proceeded to tbe express car and demanded that the biggage man open the express safe, i nt upon being assured that he could not do so, turned their attention to the passengors. They took only money from then, not over looking a cent. After securing about $200, they uncoupled the engine and started down the track. After going cveral miles they set the lever at a moderate gait, left tbe engine and ran into the wow's. Tbe engine was captured at the fl.;g station at Duval. The station agent retnreed to the scene of the rob bery with the engine, secured the train and came to this city. Officers have gone to the scere of action with bloodhounds. The Defunct Asbeville Bank. Tue officials of the defunct National bank at A-:hcvil!e, W. E. Breese, presi dent ; W. H. Penland, cashier, and J. C. Dickinson, director, have very properly been arrested aid must sta::d trial for making awy wu.h the funds of depos itors. Even if their admit sions are true,, they are guilty of gross fraud and ought to be made to suffer for it. If the charges made against them are true, they have been guilty of fraud, con spiracy and possible forgery. The de positors will get only a few cents on the dollar. The bank is almost a complete wreck. Raleigb, Charlotte, Wilmington and other towns in this State have suf fered from the robbery of banks by trusted officials. Such crime should meet with the severest punishment If the courts dealt fairly with these of fenders there would be less crime of the kind in the State. For it is as much a crime as robbery on the' highway. Charlotte News. Mayor's Court. Two white men paid costs for indulg ing in an tffray.
