In the criminal omit today Jasper Dol'y, a iit.gro, who ass'iuiii-d Mrs. Bird a week ngo, confessed was sentenced to the penitentiary for 2U years. There was every prospect of a bloody light tonight, as a great mob was here bent on lyinching Dolby, aud the sheriir had two companies of state militia here to help him Ni. A 1 It Is a Pity to Spoil a Beautiful Story. For nearly 100 years people here have reposed in the pleasing radition that Wake county was named in honor of Esther Wake, the lx-nnl if ul sister-in-law of Gov.

Tryou. and h-nee tint by the gallantry of our aiue-tors the name was retained when the names of Tryon, Bute and Dobbs counties were changed for more patriotic appellations. The icouosi lasts have now arisen who deny that any Esther Wake ever existed and assert that the whole tradition is a myth. Much has been written about it. On application to Judge Walter Clark it is learned that he had already written Mr.

Sains bury, who has so long represented North Carolina in the public records office in London, requesting him to open up correspondence with the head of the Tryou family and learn the truth of the Esther Wake matter. Admiral Tryon who a few months sin -e went down with his iron-clad in some maneuvers iu the Mediterranean was a grandson of Gov. Tryon. Judge Clark is also endeavoring through the same medium to open communication with the representatives of Governor Josiah Martin the last royal governor of north Carolina. He thinks that in the private papers of governors Tryon and Martin, there may possibly be valuable historical material for North Carolina and possibly in the papers of governor Martin something that will throw additional light on the immortal "Mecklenburg Declaration." AUDIT TODAY'S Items Gathered In and Around the The republican state executive com-inittee met here today, chairman A.

K. Holton presiding. Mr. A. Dughi was today busily engaged in supervising the putting up of a new and haudsome sign.

Some improvements are being made of the street, car transfer switch at the west gate of the rapitol square. At Metropolitan hall this evening Hons. Oliver II. Dockery and II. G.

Ewart will speak in the interest of fusion. The race track at the fair grouuds is said to be in better condition than e. er before. Some good racing may be confidently expected. Several large wagons were seen today hauling huge pines to the Page's branch saw-mill.

Some of the logs were neirly three feet in diameter. The wood work of the stalls in the urnket will not be painted but will be varnished, ai.d thus finished in the' natural olor of the pine. The attendance at the circus performance last evening was large and the audience was delighted. The perfect weather added no little to the pleasure. Trinity college has cancelled its game with the A.

M. football team which was scheduled for Tuesday of fair week. The reason is that it is to meet the University eleven. Capt. B.

P. Williamson has succeeded iu obtaining reduced railway rates to the great horse sale here Nov. 8 and 9. The attendance will be larger than ever before. The street car line from the depot will be completed tomorrow.

The trolley wire has been put up over the entire line to the corner of the Pullen building. About 16 yards only of trolley wire remains to be put up. Every day this week there have been good breaks of tobacco in this inarket. Tomorrow there. will be a large break.

Are the Raleigh business men, as a general thing, giving the aid they ought to give to the leaf tobacco trade here? The weather probabilities say tomorrow will be fair but the local weather prophet looks gloomily at the arrow on the market house pointing dead east and says get out your umbrellas tomorrow. At the street car power-house a force is busy preparing the cars for fair week. New controllers are being put in some of them and all will be painted similar to the new high speed car; yellow with green trimmings. The Raleigh National bank was appropriately draped in mourning today in memory of llon.E. G.

Reid, the I protect the prisoner. The with three companies of militia. started this evening to take Dolby to the penitentiary, but at the depot the ninb got possession of the prisoner. The militia charged, killing two of the mob and re-capturing the prsoiier. lie was then hurried ack to the jail.

A rail has been made for the first and and fourteenth regiments. As darkness came on a of people surrounded the court house and jail yelling "Lynch him, lynch li i in." Finally some one threw a stone which struck a soldier. 1. '(ilt, commander of the troops, addressed the people in forcible language and told tin-in not to repeal the oileiiee. "If you want to injure any one," aid he, "bit me and those young men." Th mob kept advancing until an order to lire was given, when the crowd fell i k.

The soldiers did not lire till lie rioters had battered down the "'is of the jail. Three persons were killed at their volley. The limb Ibid, but after the first fright following the. vollev became boisierotts again, gathering and uttering loud imprecations against the soldiers. Fears are entertained for the soldiers' safety if reinforcements do not (jiiiekly come.

Tl.e crowd is making an attempt to secure dynamite and swear they will blow up the court house. There' was some delay in train, but troops are now being rushed to the scene of disturbance. "If I hey can hold the, jail against the mob for a half hour longer," said general Howe at 10:30 tonight, "I think the danger will be ov er." The pe ie of 1 county are peaceable farmers. Never, rvou in the mining districts, has there been smdi a determined mob, It is a surprise to the it ate. She Rejoiced.

B.vt.TiMoJiK. Oct. lti. After the body of James Mclutire. tin spiritualistic medium and herb doctor, had been taken from his late home to the hearse today was taken from the bell knob the piece of blue mos inito netting that had been fluttering there, instead of the traditional.

black crepe. The widow took down the -crepe, the undertaker had placed there, be-. a use it was an emblem of gloom, re placed it with blue, the symbol of joy. G. N.

There were 120 visitors to the state museum yesterday. There are now 222 students at the agiiultnral and medical college. A number of new dwellings have been begun during the past few days. The frost of Tuesday morning killed considerable vegetation; among other things the cotton leaves, which will have a tendency to make the lint trashy. Some of the smaller bolls weve killed.

The num' er of visitors to the state fair bids fair to break I lie record. A g'ii-tb'inan from Sampson county said today that it would be well represented aixl one from Fayetteville made the same remark as to that town. The case in the supreme court this week iu which secretary W. S. Barnes of the farmers' alliance is plaintiff, and congressman W.

Crawford the defendant, is for s'ander. There is a for libel, which will be heard at the next term of Wake 'superior court. At Norfolk Tuesday Edna W. Elliott was united in marriage to Mr. Oliver Womble of this city, who is postal route agent between here and Norfolk.

Miss Mattie Womble was miid of honor. Mr. Frank Womble was best man. Mr. and Mrs.

Womble have gone to Boston by steamer. JUDGE READE DEAD. He Passed Quietly Away Early This Morning. At 2:15 o'clock this morning Hon. Edwin G.

Reade passed peacefully away, at his residence in the Raleigh national bank. For two or three years he had been extremely feeble and his death was by no means unexpected. He was truly an admirable gentleman in al! of life's relations, and had the lov-j -and respect of all classes of people. He was a native of Person county; was 85 years of age; had served as solicitor, superior court and supreme court judge and as congressman. He ways, in 1808 elected to the supreme court by the combined vote of the democrats and republicans, and served eight years with marked ability.

Afterwards he took up again the practice of law, and was a member of the firm of Reade, Busbee Busbee. Then he became president of the lial-eigh national bank. He filled that position with great ability and line judgment. His brother, Mr. Washington Reade, of Person, was at his bedside when lie died.

Judge Reade was wealthy and with kind thoughtfulness had provided homes for his relations in Person county. He was a devoted and earnest member of the Presbyterian church. The funeral will be held at the First Presbyterian church at 3:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. This afternoon the members of he Raleigh bar met at the court house to adopt resolutious of respect to his memory. The bar will attend the funeral in a body.

All in the Family. Deputy collectors Mebane and Tate a few days ago seized and destroyed a 75 gallon copper distillery and outfit near Siler City, in Chatham county. The still seems to have been an old family heirloom, as it was owned and operated by James, William and Samuel Jordan, three brothers.

Next Saturday the A. and M. college and the University will play a game of football at Athletic park. It will be the only game of football played here this season and besides it will be no mean struggle. The A.

and M. team was defeated last Frida at Chapel Hill by a score of 44 to 0, but in that one game it learned a great deal. The college boys are not lisheartened and, while not expecting to win, promise the public that they will play good, honest 'football. It costs money for a football team to journey to Raleigh to play and Raleigh people should show thir appreciation of the university trouble by giving them a good r. wd.

The Concert Tomorrow Evening. The programme of the Ralph Fisher concert to be given tomorrow evening at Metropolitan hall, is very attractive. It will le enjoyed by all loversof music, and will doubtleab, be of a higher order and more varied than it has been the good fortune of Raleigh people to enjoy for a long time. All who attend will have the consciousness of contributing to the development of rare genius'. Politidal Points.

A leading democrat who was interviewed said: "Fusion is not complete. It is more so in Settle's district than in any other. Indeed, it seems to me that the republicans are making their whole effort to carry that district and the eighth. Fusion is more complete in the west and center than in the east. I think the statement is true that the usionists are getting further and further part.

I think the legislature is democratic by a good majority, and that weNill carry the state by the usual majority, which is from 10,000 to 15,000. Where I have spoken the negroes let it be quite plainly understood that they are not going to support the fusion ticket." The populists say that they confidently expect to carry the state by 20,000 majority and that' the democrats do not know how great is the extent of fusion. Mr. T. C.

Milliken, republican congressional nominee in this district, today withdrew from the canvass. The usionists today completed their judicial ticket. It is learned that Maj. W. A.

Guthrie takes the nomination which Hon. H. G. Connor declined. 221 Wilmington street is where We sell, fish and G.N.

One of the rules of the bank is that it shall never be closed except on Sundays and national holidays. The circus crowd yesterday was thfc most orderly ever seen on a similar occasion.

There was absolutely ne disorder and all the arrests made were two simple drunks. These unfortunates were given 12 hours in the station house and turned loose this morning. y. The fair grounds present a scene of hustling activity these days. A large force- of workmen are steadily engaged in the main building preparing exhibits and the candy and "nigger baby" gods and the "merry go 'round" fiend are transforming the barren "midway" into a thing of beauty.

Mention was made some years ago of the fact that application had been made for the appointment of a receiver for the Bledsoe property, 90 acres, immediately south of the city. oh. John Nichols has been; appointed by judge Bynuin. The only disturbance at the circus grounds occurred last night shortly before the performance ended. An attache was passing by one of the lunch tables when some unknown person struck him on the head with a rock.

The circus man fca painfully though not seriously hart. His as-sallant could not be found. AFTER THE CIRCUS CALL AROUND AT STORE. HARGETT FOOD PRODUCTS. QUALITY.
