Mr.. MeGregorts. and Is now the passen-
ger agent Tor enc Of che large railroads.
On "Wednesday morning a friend of the
family called upon Mr.. Skinner and was
told by him that he had not seen Mr.. Nc
Gregor in two years. The young man
then visited the larger hospitals, but
Mr.. McGregor was in one of them.
TIE POLICE NOTIFIED.
He then notified the police authorities,
and they said they would send out an
day morning Mrs. McGregor received a
letter from her husband which was
mailed at Station G. New York, and
merely said that he was we'll and would
write at length in a day or two
Thinking that they had found him ana
that on the next day he would tell them
where he was and what had detained
him, the family notified the police not to
look for him further. On Friday Mrs.
McGregor received another letter from
her husband which was postmarked
Station r, New York and which gave
directions for the care OF the family until
his return and enclosed the keys to Mr..
Records Office which were received by
that gentleman IN Saturday. Yue letter
contained nothing which gave the Slight
est clue as to where he was. but contained
matter which led his faIaIiy to thtifk tiIat
he was kept in New York against mis-
will
At4A0r CEOk, tAC AObAAC W ~ ~
ing man, said this morning that the fam
lily were at an utter loss to account for his
disappearance. She stoutly denied that
he was paid to keep away L declared
that he could not have been bribed.
She said further that her son was a
great student and she believed had owe
taxed his strength. He had taught him
self German and type writing and studied
hard while so doing. Moreover, he had
worried much during the past wv years
over his business prospects. Things with
him were not as prosperous as he could
have wished; and he outlook for the
future seemed to worry him. His family
will apply to the police again today for
assistance in finding him.
THE EXAMINATION ADJOURNED AGAIN

priving a witness of the pleasure of being
cross-examined by Mr.. Hudspeth, asked
for an adjournment for the day. Mr..
Record, OF course, objected and only
agreed on condition that his side should
be allowed the one and one half hours
ont of Mr.. Cleveland's time. This morning
Mr.. McMasters was still considerably adj
verse to going on without Mr.. HRdspeth.
and agreed to give the Perkins side a day
of Cleveland'S time if they would consent
to adjourn over today. Mr.. Record agreed
to this, and the adjournment was had ac-
cording. This extends Mr.. Perkins time
to half past eleven o'clock Saturday
morning. Mr.. Perkins lawyers held a
consultation in Mr.. Crouse's office this
morning, and after reading over some Of

or twelve witnesses to testify TO the dis

Lesson.
a practical ternperanc lesson, which
scoffers and other impious persons
should take to heart is to be found in
the following brief news item which
we clip from the State Gazette of yes
terday:-
Charles M. Titus, aged seyenty-five, one Of the
Oldest residents of Hackettsfown, died suddenly
of apoplexy in Newark last evening. He had
just drunk a glass of soda water with one OF his
s sS : IN fe i g dr tSs S tarsm anat q aaa di Eeai ih : : she
He leaves three grown sons.
Thus does this noxious poisonspread
death and desolation among Christian
people. Homes are ruined and hearts
broken. Age and responsibility are
no protection. So long as this fixing,
sizzling, foaming demon OF syrup and
gas is permitted to be sold freely in
our midst this awful danger to the
life, health and morals Of the com
munity will continue.
BY an odd coincidence, the very
same paper contains the following
news item, affording additional proof
Of the dangers that beset the commun-
ity in the legalized traffic in carbonic
water
Bartender Dennis Neville, Of Harrison, lost his
right eye on Wednesday night by the explosion
OF q bottle of soda water In his hands as he was
about to open 1t for q customer. Neville is q
well known Hudson county politician, and was
q doorkeeperfn the House of Assembly during
the session of 1SS8-69.
Is it not time that the Legislature
should interfere to check this unhal-
lowed commerce, or rather should not
our people arise and by the high pow
ers Of the organic law prohibit the
manufacture, sale, or gift of this
deadly enemy of mankindf
Think Of the anguish caused in one
day by the seductive but destructive
beverage-the weeping wives, the sor
rowing sons, the lonely grave in The
county church yard, the darkened eye
with its disfignring shade of emerald
muslin. When we contemplate
these awful results Of the soda
water fend we wonder the
fathers and mothers Of a civilized
and God fearing community do moi
rise as n man and pump the
wretches, who tempt their fellow mel
to perdition, full of the expansive
liquid until they become inflated Xix,
balloons, and go sailing off through
the air to an awful but we'll meriteC
doom.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The .sen King at Palmer,s.

III $50 - ~
A large and enthusiastic audience well
coined Richard Stahl's "Sea King at
Palmer's Theatre last night. The oper-
eta is beautifully produced, both in re
gard to scenic effect and gorgeous cos
TUNES, and the caste is an excellent one.
Miss Esther Palliser, who takes The part
of Dolores, the Sea Kings bride, sings
delightfully."- and ehunciates her words
very distinctly; she, as we'll as all the
others, had frequently TO respond TO en-
cores. Mr.. Hubert Wilke as the Seq
King and, by the way, what
a handsome Soaking he was
did sone fine singing. especially in the
duett with Dolores, and MI. e. Stevens
as Don Bambonla, kept the audience in
roars of laughter by his antics. The cast
also includes Miss Annie Myers, Miss
Elma Delaro, Miss Lena Merville and
Mr.. Thomas H. Persee, besides a large
chorus of very pretty girls.
The operetta abounds with beautiful
airs, and if the music is not of tho highest
order 1t is graceful and very pleasing.

ADJOURNMENT OF COURT.
Eighty.six Cases Disposed Of-.In Seven
Days..A Working Judge.

Eighty-six Cases Disposed Of--In Seven
Days--A Working Judge.
The March term of Wake county su-
perior court closed yesterday, after
session of seven days, in which eighty
six cases were cleared from the docket.
One of these cases took up three whole
days of the session, SO it appears that
eighty-five cases we're disposed of in
four days. This is magnificent judicial
work, and its accomplishment is largely
due to the energy and striking ability
of the learned Judge MacRae, who pre-
sided. He won here, both from the
bar and the public generally, splen-
did reputation. Raleigh people are in
love with him, and country people laud
him. He dalIies not in the discharge
of business. His decisions and rulings
are made without lingering hesitation,
and the moment they are made. they
appear to strike home; or in other words,
they are so clear and just that even
those ignorant Of the law can see the
justness and fairness of which they are
full.
There is general commendation here
of his delivery on the Boyle applause
matter The good people of Raleigt
thank him for so ably and forcibly ex
pressing their sentiments in regard tt
| that affair.

APRIL FOOL.
The Agricultural College Boys Cap the
Climax.

The Agricultural College Boys Cap the
Yesterday was the great All Fools
day. Few pranks and practical jokes
were reported. bat among those perpe-
trated, the Agricultural and Mechanical
college boys capped the climax.
When the bell rang for prayers yes
terday morning the faculty went into
assembly hall but found not boy there.
The bell rang again and nine of the
students put in appearance. The fail
ure of others, to report promptly, result
ed in an exploration of the buildings;
but not a boy in any room. The faculty
looked blankly at each other for solu
ton of the mystery. What in creation
had gone with their charges and how
did they get away?
That faculty can solve any question
in physics OF in the classics; but here
was problem that had not been antici-
pated IN the college curriculum, and it
stumped the entire professional corps,
from President Holiday down. That
splendid gentleman was sorely per-
picked. He toyed nervously with his
eye glasses, and he surmised and specu-
lated for long time in vain.
The faculty soon organized into a
Board of Inquiry and went to work.
They soon learned that the boys had
conspired to perpetrate an "April Fool
joke, and they were forced to acknowl
edge that the boys, in this particular
were stupendous success.
| They had left the college very early
IN the morning and with banners flying
and drums beating had marched tc
Cary, distance of eight miles, to storm
and take that town.
No official advices were returned
but it is very safe to say that they made
the capture; for they have record o
"getting there in everything they un
dertake. The company was forty-eigh
strong and it was evidently well organ
lied.
Late in the evening the entire com
pany came back in good shape and il
good order looking as innocent and a
happy as though nothing unusual ha'
happened.
It was merry racket and was doubt
less enjoyed hugely by the boys; but Cd
escapade of this kind is enough durin
one session, and while the friends of th
boys and of the college speak of the in
cident with half smile, the boys may b
sure that another occurrence of the sam
, nature would-be seriously frowned up
, on. They should make it particula
point not to allow repetition of thi
. thing. for il can result only to thei
} serious disadvantage. To let the SUI
/ cess of this venture carry them deepe
into such matters will prove disastrou.
} Now let them take warning and be car
full.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The monthly

w. G.. Randall, Native--Iis Work
and His Studio.

There has not been, since the days Of
William Carl Brown, resid Mt artist in
this city who possessed all the merits of
a portrait painter, until w. G Randall
opened his studio here.
MIR. Randall is native of the State,
having been born in Burke county In
early life he showed strong disposition
and exhibited the talent TO become an
artist. Without friends or aid he has
struggled by himself until his genius has
carried him through all the fiery trials
of preparation, and brought him to the
present high position that he now enjoys.
Mr. Randall has studied under the
best artists Of America among them
Prof Wilmarth, at the National Acad-
emy; Prof Ed. NJ Ward, Y. a., who
was the best of his life class in
Paris; Artistic Anatomy under J. Wells
Champeney, y. A, and Perspective un-
der Fred Dielman, n a. Realizing
that it is only after years of study and
practice that the portrait painter can
hope to show upon canvass the highest
qualities Of his art, he went TO work sac
rificing all, until be had attained de-
gree of proficiency that should enable
| him to achieve that success which is the
object of his efforts.
Mr. Randall's work speaks for itself.
He has painted many fine portraits in
oil. Among his subjects are Bishop Ly-
man, Bishop Atkinson, Mr. Geo. Kidder,
and Rev. Robt Strange, of Wilmington.
n. C. In some instances as many as
three paintings from the same subject
have been ordered. He is Lot only a
master of the brush, but Of charcoal and
pastele as we'll, as his excellent pictures
ia these branches of the art will testify.
Mr.. Randall has been here about
twelve months and has succeeded beyond
his expectations in getting subjects.
This studio has been over Mckimmon,
Moseley l. McGee's store. Hereafter It
will be over the store Of Messrs. Norris
& Carter, occupying the three front
rooms, which he proposes to use for his
classes in drawing and painting. He is
splendid teacher, his faculty for i'm
parting knowledge being equalled only
by his ability to instruct.
