down and defeat the straight-out republic
can party In Virginia. and boldly asserted
the republicans as 1t had stood by the read

he preferred against the postmaster at Nor
folk some days ago, and Insisted that he
could sustain them The postmaster gem
eral told him to put his charges In shape,
making out the Specifications clearly, and
that they should be honestly and thorough
ly investigated. The postmaster general
said there should be no white washing re-
port, hut that Ii the charges were sustained
the Norfolk postmaster and his deputies
would be dealt with as the law and pOstoffice
regulations required.

Some very remarkable changes have oc-
CURED in the groups of spots on the sun,
during the past few days. The spots can
be detected with a strong opera glass.
One OF the groups which recently consis-
ted of four conspicuous black and Jagged
holes in the shining surface broke up in
few hours into a great number of small
spots, which were arranged yesterday IN
the most singular shapes, and spread over
an area far exceeding in extent the whole
surface of the earth. In another group
enormous white bridges were thrown
across a black central chasm as broad as
the Atlantic, and in a third group vast
depression. resembling a shadowy veil
drawn over the glowing phOtesphere was
developed around cluster of dark pits.
All around these wonderful groups the
glowing surface of the sun APP
peared in the telescope covered
thick with white specks like
the fiaky particles in mass of butter
milk, and here and there appeared in
tensely brilliant crinkling lines, marking
the spots where sprouts and jets OF hery
hydrogen gas was bursting forth from the
SUMS interior. When will the astrono-
mers be able to tell what causes these
tremendous outbreaks, which wax and
wane in periods of eleven years, and Occa-
siOnally make their power felt across
ninety odd millions of miles of space by
setting the earth's atmosphere aglow
with electric light and playing strange
freaks with the telegraph wires, now
sending magnetic torrent rushing
through them with the speed and strength
of lightning, and again striking them

Saturday night, which lasted about two
hours, and during its progress the electric
light tower, in the western portion of the
city, was struck by lightning, but
was not damaged, though the
lights were eXtinguished in flash. The
storm clouds were first seen in the north
east about three O'Clock in the afternoon,
and were seen to approach the city from
that direction, when the wind shifted to
the north and west Immediately before
the rain commenced. The weather had
an unsettled look some time after mid
night.

THE LUCKY MAN.
Raleigh Again gets Big Prize in thu
Louisiana State Lottery.


Louisiana State Lottery.
There is a time-hOnOred saying that
Eslightning never strikes twice in the same
place." Once again it has been disprOved.
Two years ago Mr.. p. NJ. Wilson drew
one-half of capital prize of $4,000. In
the last drawing of the Louisiana State
Lottery Company, held June II, one-tenth
of the grand prize Of $150,OO0 was won by
Raleigh man. That fortunate individ-
ual was Mr.. Gustave Rosenthal, man
who certainly deserves every smile or
caress kind fortune may give. Yesterday
afternoon a reporter paid him a call
at his office on Fayetteville street, and
found him, as usual, smiling and
polite. At first he protested surprise
at the congratulations of the reporter,
who expressed his pleasure at such luck,
but presently he acknowledged the TACT,
and showed two drafts for total sum OF
$14,917 30. He sent his ticket through
the express office, and received through
one of the banks of New Orleans the
drafts, which are on New York, for the
$751; 900, less express and bank charges.
The transaction was a prompt one, duly
appreciated by such a business man.
Mr.. RosenthaI has long been recognized
as one of the brightest of our business
men. He was born in Germany and
came to this State in 1859, his home be-
ing in Caswell county. In the spring
of 1861 he came to Raleigh, and this city
has ever since been his home. He has
twice been member Of the Board Of AL
dermen, and has served in that capacity
with marked ability, being Chairman Of
the most important committee. He has
for years been Secretary of the Falls of
Neuse Manufacturing Company, the
affairs of which he has conducted with
skill. The reporter, after pleasant chat
with this lucky citizen, who certainly has
cause to remember the Louisiana State
Lottery Company, again congratulated
him and left.-RdJeigh N. CO. Nelos and

THO Citv,s Hond Debt.

The Atlanta Constitution man about
town quotes a gentleman of that city as
saying: ''Nothing in GeOrgia's history
deserves more praise than the herOism
with which Savannah has stood by the
obligation of her heavy debt and refused
to either compromise or repudiate. She
owes about 100000, which is equal to
the debt of Memphis. Although the latter
city is much the larger of the two, 'laid
down. under its burden and went into
bankruptcy. Savannah has never scaled
her debt one dollar. She substituted, by
consent, bonds bearing lower rate of in
terest, and put tax of three per cent. on
her real estate to meet current demands
and provide sinking fund. Her credit
is high. because her Integrity is unques-
toned and her spirit unconquerable."

The Brunswick and Western

The Columbus Enquirer-SoH states that
the engineering corps of the Brunswick
and Western Railroad are going right
ahead with the preliminary survey. They
learn the corps has passed Cusseta and
are now surveying several miles below
there. The line of survey from Columbus
runs across Bull creek just below the
bridge, on the lower Lumpkin road, then
along the road to Woolfolk's bridge on the
Upatoi. 1t then passes through a heavily
timbered pine country along by Harp's
mill, and up the Oswichee valley to Gus
seta. 1t leaves Cusseta about One-half a
mile to the left and crosses the Hitchitie
hills three or four miles below at Thomp-
sons gap. The proposed line from that
point is along level ridge via Weston,
Webster county. all the way to Albany.
