Reduction of Passenger Rates.

RALEIGH, N. c., May 16.-The
North Carolina railway commission
issues an order declaring the Norfolk
and Carolina and the Albemarle and
Raleigh Railways to be of the same
system as the Atlantic Coast Line, or
rather the Wilmington & Weldon
Railway, and providing for a conse-
quent reduction of rates between
points on those roads and points on
the Wilmington and Weldon road and
any of its branches. This settles a
vexed question. The Wilmington and
Weldon railway has claimed that the
Norfolk and Carolina and the Abe
marie and Raleigh were separate
roads. The reduction of rates due to
the commissions ruling will be very
considerable.

1.-THE dangerous illness of Mrs
Abigail Baity, wife of Rev. G. W Baity,

pondence, resulted in her death on the
Bird inst. She was about 81 years of
age, a devoted wife, an affectiOnate,

She leaves a husband and eight chill
dren, all grown, to mourn their loss.
She died from the effects of la grippe,
which she had more than a year
ago.
The cold, wet weather is injuring
wheat. The prospects are not as good
as they were two weeks ago.
Corn is not looking well, but the
weather has been favorable for trans
planting tobacco, though little of this
work was done on account of land
not being prepared and plants were
too small.
The fruit crop will be abundant.
Some of it was killed, but there is
plenty left.
The health Of the people of the COM
munity is good, save sore-throat and
la grippe.
Messrs. Fl. w. Heats and J. A. Will

WATER WORKS QUESTION.
The Winston Board Of Aldermen Discuss
it Again.
TIE ELECTION TO BE HELD JUNE 81.
Alderman King Still Opposes the City
Endorsing Bonds for the Purchase
of the Plant-Messrs. King, Gray,
and Alspaugh Discuss the Question
Registration Begins Thursday,

The Winston Board of Aldermen
met in regular session Monday
Alderman King arose and said that
he thought the board was going too
fast in the water works matter. 1--WE
have never had an itemiZed statement
from the water company" said Mr..
King, ''hence we do not know what
the city is getting or whether the
plant is worth the price asked"
Col. Alspaugh said he thought the
matter needed no further discussion
from the fact that he believed every
citizen, except Mr.. King, was posted.
H. added that he considered the plant
worth every dollar asked for it; that
the receipts from the plant would
more than pay the interest on the
bonds after the additional fifteen or
sixteen miles of piping, which would
permeate every street in the city, were
laid.
Mr.. James a. Gray, a member OF
the Water Works Company, was pres
ent and spoke at some length on how
the company was first organized and
how few private citizens gave their
time and money in order to supply
the town with water. He said that
for many years the company put all
net earnings in improving the plant.
Il am of the opinion" continued Mr..
Gray, 'that if the city did not have any
water it would readily vote 500, 900 to
get plant as good as the one now in
operation. The question to be voted
upon is not direct debt. it is only
endorsingsthe water 'company's econ
tract. If town is to grew large it
must necessarily have it's water sup
ply. Every man, too, must bear the
burdens for the community'S good.
Were it not for the present water sup
ply the street cars would have to stop
running"
Mr. King stated that from what he
could learn he did not believe the nee
essary supply Of water could be gotten
from the present source.
Mr.. Gray replied that with more
money we can get more water from
the present source. Twenty-Five years
from now we hope to have a pOpula-
tion of forty or fifty thousand people.
Then perhaps we will be in position
to go to the Yadkin river. At present
we are not in a position to eXpend six
or seven hundred thousand dollars,
therefore we can only do the best
thing we can" Mr.. Gray added that
the proposed election meant for the
town to own 200 shares of the water
works and private individuals only
fifty-four shares. The object of pri-
yate citizens owning that amC unit of
stock is to keep the corporation in
tact.
The order for an election to be held
on Wednesday,, June 2lst, was next
taken up and voted upon. Mr.. King
was the only member that voted in
opposition.
The registration books for the cleo
ton will be opened Thursday,
and those who fail to register will not
be allowed to vote on the question, as
this is a new registration.

A MEMORABLE EXPOSITION.
Solomon, His Temple and the Queer

The Enquirer, the Commercial Ga
zette and other leading papers, both
German and English, of Cincinnati,
are prolific in their praises of this
new and most impressive of all spec
tacles, which, at an expense that
would seem fabulous, the enterprising
management of John Robinson's
Great Worlds Exposition produce
this year in connection with their
myriad other attractions There is
no sense so vivid, so lasting and so
conclusive as the sense of seeing, and
however studiously we may search
the scriptures or other sacred history,
the ideas that we may form and the
Impressions we may receive concern
ing the patriarchs and sages, and the
scenes, incidents and events conse-
quent to their time, can be but frac-
tlonary and imperfect. To have pro-
duced those persOnages and events
and placed with Sceneographic effect
before you; to hear Solomon re utter
his wise and prophetic words: to see

and the pomp and circumstance other
surroundings; to view the great Tenn
pie of Solomon, not by description, but
by actual inspection; to witness per-
Sunally the Sumptuous and reSplend-
ent festivals of the great Solomon's
court-these are the inestimable
privileges which the John Ro5inson's
Great Worlds Exposition accords it's
patrons in connection with the great

Roman hippodrome. The spectacle
of Solomon, his Temple and the

WASHINGTON LETTER.
The President Making Appointments
Rapidiy-PersonaI.

Special Correspondence of the Sentinel
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Presi-
dent is making appointments rapidly
| now. Yesterday he appointed large
number OF postmasters, among whom
were John W. Bryan, of Goldsboro.
Congressman Grady, Alexander and
| Crawford, and Senator Ransom are
now in the city, and the contests for
| the collectorShips and district attorn-
| eyShips in North Carolina are expect
ed to be settled very soon.
DR.. w. A. Lash. of Greensboro, and
DR.. Sanderlin, of Raleigh, were in the
| city last night.
If Winston wants the collectors

push her claims.
The members of the North Carolina
delegation now here are Senator Ran
som and Congressman Henderson,
Grady, Alexander and Crawford. Mr..
Bum is expected tomorrow. Mr..
Bower seems to have gone into 'in-
ocuous desuetude." | have written
to him twice. but can hear nothing
from him. Mr.. Williams has gone
home after spending month here.
1t is not certain when the principal
appointments in your section Will be
made. No doubt, the applications
for the collectOrship and the district
attorneyship will be looked over at
the same time by the President, in
aSmuch as these offices seem to have
been made a Siamese-twin matter.
a great many appointments to
Office have been made since the Presi-
dents return from Chicago. In fact,
tie new administration is just getting
into working order. In regard to the
Presidents order excluding office
seekers from the White House, l find
the following in the Church News,
which is the most Catholic influential
journal here:
1.-The Presidents determination to
decline to grant personal interviews
to otfice-seekerS shows that he realiZ-
ICES fully that he was not elected sim
ply to distribute rewards to his follow
ers. His recent order will not operate
to the disadvantage of any man, as all
can file their applications and recon-
mendations. In fact, it will place APP
plicants on an equal footing, for, un-
der the old arrangements while some
could remain here and monopoliZe
the Presidents time, others were de-
tanned at their homes, and thus suf-
fered by attending to their duties, or
on account of their poverty. The
President has acted wisely, for the
scramble for office had become so
great that no time was left the
White House officials for the perform
ance of important duties"
