THE COUNTY'S MONEY WASTED. -Supt. Ray's Father-in-Law I Fresouted . With ?75.': The County Commissioners at least two of them, but be it said to Maj. Hill's credit he was not one did something yesterday that will be condemned by the taxpayers of Wake county and all right thinking men everywhere. For some time Mr. Barbee has liecu trying to get the board to pay J. L. Pugh, Superintendent Ray's father-in-law, $75 for his horse, destroyed in the tire at the county home a year ago: but it was not tiutil yesterday that he could get one of the other commissioners to agree with him. At the last meeting he proposed it, but Maj. Hill contended that such action would be illegal, unjust and without war rant, ,and Commissioner Ohanibleo agreed with him. Yesterday, however. Chaiubloo changed his mind aud voted with Barbee to pay Pugh for a horse he hapiiened to have in the stables at the. county home the night they were burned. In this fire the county lost many hundred dollars, and there can be no warrant for paying a man for a horse that he. happened to have iu the stable over night at the time of the tire. I The action of Coniniisuioners Barbee andf Ohanibleo yesterday amounts to lit tle less than making Pugh a present of 75 of the county's money. Now that these two -worthy commis sioners have presented Supt. Hay's father-in-law witli $75 belonging to the tax payers of the county, no doubt they are about ready to whitewash the superin tendent himself with an exoneration of the charges of official mismanagement that have recently been made against him. The commissioners were in sessiou all day yesterday, and adjourned at (i o'clock to meet again this morning. Most of the day was spent auditing accounts and transacting Toutiue busi ness. ' . ' ; A communication to the commission ers from tin W. C. T. U. was read, -culling-attention' to the great need at the county home of a suitable room in which to hold religions evercises for the inmates of the institution, numbering from 50 to (H) parishoners. The hope was expressed that the petition might meet 'Urn approbation of the board and result in the building of a room for re ligious worship. The board thanked the ladies for their interest in the home, but stated that the finances of the county would not war rant the erection of such a building now. : '. The superintendent of the workhouse was authorized to repair the bridge at Milburnie and the Rogers bridge across the Neusp. Ray was ulso authorized to have all the iron bridges iu the county painted. Chairman Hill and Supt. Ray were au thorized to have a telephone put iu at the workhouse euarters. Bonds of T. C. Council. W. H. Hester and John V. Upchurch, as cotton weighers for Wake county, were pre sented and accepted. The following tax-listers were appoint ed for the county. Appointments have not yet been' made for Raleigh. They will be announced to-day: Burton's Creek W. A. I'ngh. BuckhomW. C. Bright. Cury-W. M. Sorrell. Cedar Fork Win. Arnold. Holly Spring-C. II.

V DISPENSARIES COXSTITUTIONA I ' 'The Supreme court yesterday held (in the ease of Guy vs. Commitwioners) that the dispensary it FoyettenlJe is const! tutional. There are tiaJf a dozen or more dispensaries in the Wtate end thin is the first time the question lias come before the Supreme court "BOYS" ARB READY. The Governor's Guard in Fine Shape For Duty. There fa no' company of soldiers in this State in better condition and more nearly ready for orders than is the Gov ernor's Guard, of this city. "The Guard is in fine condition," said Capt. A. J. Crawford yestertlay. "Three weeks ago we had only 43 men; now we have 5S well drilled and equipped.'- Wo are only allowed GO men, and there are about a dozen applicants for the two vacancies. They will be tilled by Mon day night. ; We will draw for them, there are so tunny applicants. "Then if there is war and we have to recruit to 100 men, I can in a few hours get them. My men are ready for orders; they can be collected in camp ready to move within two hours."' Many other companies in the State Guard have been for several days enlist ing men and recruiting up to their full strength, but they are doing so on their own responsibility. No orders to do so have been issued either from the War Department at Washington or the Adjutant GeueralV office here. Under the regulations of the State Guard each company is allowed a maximum--of sixty men. In case of , win, however, this will, by order of the War Department, through the Adjutant. (Jen era l's office, be increased to 100 men. This would make the organized war strength of the State about 5.000 mei. As the State Guard is now organized there are 4 regiments of infantry of 2 battalions ich, In case of war the regiments wall lie expanded- to o batta lions each, .making 12 companies of 100 men in each of the four regiments, or a total infantry force of 4.SOU and one 0-guii battery of about 200 -men. This organization the State Guard will bo subject to the first call for troops. After that there may be ft all for vol unteers to till np the State's -quota, asked for by the President. This quota will be based on the voting population com pared to the number ca lied for by the President. . . If troops are called out. they' will re ceive an entirely new equipment arm, ammunition, uniform?, everything new and complete and furnished by the gen eral government.- They .would be sent here simultaneously with the call for ithe men. It appear that the new summer campaign uniform which is about to be adopted for the. army is what is known as? "Kharki" cloth, which the British trooiia have for some years worn in campaigns in warm countries. It, is a dirt colored linen.' rather darker than that, 'worn by the-German. -troops, in summer; is very light and yet line and strong. "Not only no orders to rail out. troops have vet been received." said Major Hayes." U. S. A., acting Adjutant Gene ral, yesterday, "but as yet no inquiries or eonnnu.nic-.it imn whatever have been received at 1 his: office from the War De- niirhnent. "it. is the intention of this office, it troois are called for to. assemble them here iu Raleigh at once. We go out to-morrow 1 select, a camp drill ground in anticipation of sii.-h emergency. SENATOR BUTLER FOR WAR. Senator Butler thinks there will be war. He does not see -anyway by which it: can be averted and Congressmen Strowd, Shu ford and Fowler, all of whom were here yesterday, agree with him in his views. Will there be war, Senator :' 1 asked him yesterday. ''""'. "I don't see how it can be averted. he replied. "Spain will have to get out of Cuba and give the island complete in dependence or there'll he war,'' Siinnose. though, the I'resiuent senus in another non-committal -message';" Congress is tired of milk aurt eider inessagiw and members don't propose to have any more backing and filling. Cer tainly that is true of the Senate. If Mr. McKinley should to-morrow send in such 11 message the Commit tee on For eign Relations would promptly bring in a resolution recognizing 1ne liidenen. deuce of Cuba and direct the President to use the full force of the army ind navy if necessary to enforce it. In other words they would authorize him to make Spain get off the island. "The' sentiment ill Congress is in brief about a follows, and the sentiment in the country is stronger even than in Congress: "That the blowing up of the Maine and the murder of our sailors was ulohe an act of war. That a nation or a people that would commit such a deed should not lie al lowed by the American people to float its flag on the western hemisphere. "Neither would w.e )ermit a nation that would perpetrate such outrages and butchery of the Cubans as Spain Iiur. to remain longer .upon .the island. That is sufficient cause for armed interven tion even if the Maine had not been blown up. "The conclusion that Congress has ar rived at is that, we should make Spain atone for the blowing up of the Maine by getting off the western hemisphere, and that Cuba should lie freed us a monument to our doner sailors. "But we can't allow any settlement of the Cuban matter with the Maine left out. The way to do that is to make Cuba free. This country wants to see every country u renuhlie and she has a chance now to make Cuba n free coun try m n high ground. "If Spain goes to war she'll not only he Cuba but Porto Rico and every other possession (die has on the western hemisphere." Congressman Fowler thinks there will be a declaration of war to-day. "Certainly there will be." he eaid, "if there w anything in what such, men n Grosvenor, who Is supposed to speak for the administration, says. Then there's Dnlzell, Dingloy and other lead ers talking in the same strain," "But will not. Speaker Reed bo able to keep them in line ns he has been doin for the past two weeks';" "I hardly think so, though I've seen him make so many of them commit sui cide that I otn afraid to predict." Congressman Shuford didn't think the majority, could longer lie held in line. They are, he, thought, .becoming restless under the restraint and sore under the criticism that they are getting. "I should he loatih," continued Cr.n Rressman Fowler, "to charge that Mc Kinley and his idrior. are in league with Wall street but there Is one thing tlmt I liavo noticed during all this ex eiteinent: A rise or fall lit the stock market precedes" any official utterance they may make. One day the excite- intent in Washington will be nt Hi height, Congress threatening; every mo ment, like a swollen stream, to .break over Reed uud declare war; you will be surprised to notice that in spite of this the stock quotations are away up. Then there will go forth some official state ment of the mast pacific kind. . Next day perhaps it will look as if the war cloud is passing,' but stocks will be down and the most war-like utterances will go forth from the administration. There may be nothing rotten in all this but it certainly has that odor." RALEIGH FIRE DEPARTMENT. Less Than $10,000 Less in This City Last Year, i Raleigh has but a volunteer fire de partment, only eleven of the 100 men in it receiving a penny; but the."e is not a city in the country that has more effi cient fire protection.

The building on Morgan street has just been thoroughly overhauled and re paired. Some repairs arc also necessary on the Rescue Company building and will lie nmde at an early date. EDITORS TO THE FRONT, Lx-( onfedenite Wants to Command War Editors and Congressmen. I was talking yesterday with a gentle man who won honor and promotion as a Confederate soldier about the prospects of war. He is u strong anti-war man, and expresses Iiis hostility to wnr vig orously and emphatically. "I thought." he said, "that I would never go to war again. I am lxyoud flie age. and I had my share during the four years of the civil war. Jj;ii I have about decided to enlist if we lwvo a wnr with Spain upon one condition." I ventured to nsk what his condition was. "I think of writing to the Governor and offin-ing to volunteer if he will let me. command r company composed ex clusively of those editors and Congress men who ure clamoring for war, ,nd who will bo satisfied with nothing but war. I want to take them into the very front ranks, and where the tiirhtinir is the hottest, and let them get a taste of what they way they want." This anti-war man continued: "I have no heart to see the flower of the country killed nud ru'nw and trouble come to give freedom to a lot of negroes who are not tit for self-government. Three Southern States by law disfran chise the negroes, saying that they can not govern, und yet we nre asked tb. go tc war to procure independence for men not a whit better qualified than tlione whose votes gives in bad government here.

Howard Case Ordered to Trial in Spite of Simoitoni"s 'Adrian. ; In the decision rendered yesterday by tlie Supreme court in the ease of How ard vs. Southern Jlailwayi the court af firmed the Judgment of Judge Mclver in directing the clerk of the Snperdoi court of Rowan county not to tseud up a transcript to the Federal court at Statesville. - The court further directed the court below to proeed with the trial of the ease. It will be remembered the railroad company appealed from Judge Mcilver's judgment, its attorneys pro cured aai order from Judge Simonton from the clerk of the State court to fur- L nisn tnem a transcr.:pr. me eicrK orteyeii the order and the attorneys doeketteel the ease iu the Federal court within on hour after the transcript was furnished to the railroad attorneys, the clerk re ceived another order from Judge Mclver again directing him not to furnish the rei-ord. The action of Judge Simonton gives rise to a very unseemly conflict of jurisdiction. ' Justice Clark, who writes the opinion of the court, cites with approval, among anany others, opinions of Judges Dick and Seymour which are in accord with Judge Clark's opinion, and are utterly irreconcilable with Judge Shnoutou's as siiinptiou' of jurisdiction. Judge Simonton seems to think that there is no limit to the jurisdiction of the Circuit court in railroad cases. Judge Brawley is assigned to hold the court at Slatosvillo. It ds to be hoped that his South Carolina -education will find ex pression in his rulings upon constitutional aud jurisdictional questions. Simonton out He-rods Herod as a Federalist. THE BAPTIST REVIVAL. Dr. Barron Preaching Strong Sermons Before -Large Congregations With Great Success, : The revival erviees begun Sunday at the First Baptist Church were continued yesterday and last night with great isiic cess. ' ', In the morning Dr. A. C. Barron, of Charlotte, who is conducting (he ser vices, preached before a good congrega tion, .composed mainly of the lady work ers of the" church. His subject Was "Faith In Prayer." and Dr. Barron forc ibly urged the necessity of prayer at such a time in the church's life. His sermon drew the congregation near to him, .and its effect was good. Llist night the church was crowded. A full choir was in the organ loft, and special hymns had been selected. The sermon delivered I'V Dr. Barron was well isuited to his congregation. It was addressed to those present who were not members of the church or who had backslided. Ho .exhorted With the sin ners to repent and called oil those pres ent who wiiihed tor the ..-prayers of Christian friends to stand up. In answer to his 'cull' there, was a grand resiioiisc. A large--number -arose, and his call for those who wished to he.-Christians to arise met with equally. -as large a num ber of responses. The services will be continued through out this Week, and the whole city is intomlod in the success of the revival. Dr. Barron is one 'of the ablest think ers in the South,' and his eloquence has charmed, his hearers in every city from Baltimore to Atlanta. , ATTENTION.
