Mr.. White, who will now put on the col
ors he has so richly earned.
As Prof. White advanced to the front
he was warmly applauded as he received
the colors of the festival chorus presented
him by Mr.. Bates.
DR.. Palmer said in opening, that those
who knew him, knew also that he was
not much at making speeches. but 1
would be ungrateful," he said. did l not
express my sincere appreciation of this
greeting and the yell you have given for
me, which ! gave you year ago. Turn
to page lis and we will so to work"
Before beginning the work of the even
ing, however, DR.. Palmer took occasion
to say that in the afternoon he had had
a touch of what Prof. White had done
with the choral society, and he was
much pleased with what had been ac-
complished under so able a director.
The members of the chorus then took
up the work of the evening under DR..
Palmers dictatorship, and the first Sc
lection for practice, though an entirely
new one, was soon mastered. The work
of the chorus shows much progress and
ability to take up with ease music that
a year or two ago would have proven
much more difficult to master.
Last nights meeting being the opening
rally, the public was admitted free, but
hereafter a small admission fee will be
charged at each of the rehearsals There
will be two rehearsals to-day, as well as
on Monday and Tuesday. and the final
rehearsal will take place Wednesday aft
ernoon at O'Clock at the theater. The
concerts this year will no doubt be
brighter and more attractive than ever
before

THE RAPTIsT WAS BELIEVED.
A Trial for Assault With Intent to
Murder Turns on Two Preachers.

Murder Turns on Two Preachers.
Darling Scott, colored, was tried in the
superior court yesterday on charge of
assault with intent to murder James
Stevens last Christmas day. Scott was
peculiarly fortunate in that he had two
colored preachers pitteh against each
other on the witness stand, and between
the testimony of the two it was hard to
tell whether he did or whether he didn't.
Scott, and Stevens, who is a Methodist
preacher and at times a cotton hoosier
by way of diversion from his arduous cler-
ical duties, had a row, which resulted in
the arrest of the former and his indict-
ment on a charge of assault with intent
to murder. Stevens swore that Scott fired
on him with pistol, and that the pistol
was taken away from Scott by Baptist
preacher named London James. James
was then put on the stand, and he de-
nounced Stevens testimony as untrue.
He said that Scott did not fire a pistol at
Stevens, and did not even have a pistol
at the time referred TO.
Solicitor General Fraser was somewhat
puzzled, and he so stated to the jury.
He remarked that two preachers had
sworn to directly conflicting statements,
and he did not know what to make of IL.
II was for the jury TO say what testimony
II would believe and he left IL to the jury's
Judgment. The jury returned in a short
time with a verdict Of not guilty. which
seems to have been the Baptist preachers

Flags Lowered ON the Shining.

The flags Of the tugs on the river and
on a number Of vessels were at half-mast
yesterday on account of the death of
Mr.. Ivey Hall, engineer of the H. NJ c.
Smith. The deceased was 80 years of
age and had been an engineer on the
river for several years. He was very pop
ular among his associates, by whom his
death is greatly regretted. He has been
in feeble health for over a year and his
death was not unexpected. He leaves a
wife, besides a father and two brothers,

The Woman who Goes About the

q
city Collecting Money to Buy
COfHn.
Recently woman who claimed to be
from Pooler called at a good many houses
in this city. asking for money to purchase
a coffin for her dead child. She called at
the Office of the clerk of me county COM
missioners and got permit for coffin,
and then she called upon well-known
ladies and asked for money for the same
purpose.
She gave her name and said
the body of her child was at Pooler in
charge of a friend. awaiting her return
with the coffin and materials to make the
grave clothes. She seemed to be laborlng
under strong feeling of grief when
telling her story to the ladies in ques-
ton, though she did not yield to it,
Some of the ladies, suspecting the wom-
an was a fraud, wrote to Pooler, making
inquiries about her. The reply they re-
ceived satisfied them that they had been
imposed upon. The writer of the reply
a well-known gentleman of Pooler, said
no such woman was known i'm the town.
or had been heard Of there; that no child
had died there in several months-in fact
no deaths whatever had occurred in that
time-and that if there had been a case
demanding charity it would have been
promptly attended to.
1t seems the same woman, or a woman
who told a similar story, was abroad in
the city last summer, and succeeded in
collecting considerable money.

TO MEET HERE In MAY.
The OrdinaFles of Georgia VIII Take
In Savannah and Tybee.

In Savannah and Tybee.
About a hundred or more of the orli-
naries Of Georgia viii be in Savannah
on the third Wednesday in May to attend
their annual convention, which will prob
ably be held at the Hotel Tybee.
Judge Ferrill received letter yester-
day from President II. ". Bell of the
convention, ordinary of Jackson county,
appointing him chairman of a committee
to serve with Judge w. l.. Calhoun, Of
Fulton county, and Judge p. T. Griff, of
Pulaski county, to arrange for transpor-
tation and hotel rates. The ordlnaries
viii secure a low rate from the railroads
of the state, and many of them will bring
their families down for a view of Tybee
and the sea.
Judge Ferriu is endeavoring to make
arrangements to have all the sessions of
the convention covering three days held
at Tybee He has made arrangements
with AIessrs. Bohan & Cowan, who will
have charge of the hotel. by which he
will be able to secure a special low rate
for the ordinaries, and it is very probable
that they will go right down to the
island on their arrival here. They Will
of course, spend some time in Savannah
however, as one of their objects in con-
ing here this year is to see the Forest
City. The ordinaries always have some
new LEGISLATION to discuss and propose
and their conventions are always inter
esting. They will be in good hands this
year. and Judge Ferrin will take care
TO see that they go away with nothing
but the best Impressions Of Savannah.

TO HAVE ANOTHER TRIAL.
The Jury stood Six to Six in the Case
Against william j. Barrett.

The Jury stood Six to Six in the Case
Against william j. Barrett.
After giving the jury several hours to
think over the matter yesterday morning
after the superior court convened, it
was called down and a mistrial declared
in the case of William J. Barrett. charged
with assault with intent to murder Ru-
dolph Muller.
The jury was out very nearly twenty
four hours. during all of which time
it stood, it is said, six for conviction and
six for acquittal. The question now is
which were the six stubborn jurors and
no doubt there will be a difference of
opinion between the attorneys on each
side of the case
Henry Dixon was tried for assault with
intent to murder Sam Scott He was
charged with shooting Scott on Jan. 6,
1892, and was found not guilty.

For a stream of several hundred peo-
pie from Raleigh was flowing toward
coming friends, while an expansive in
fux of folks was sweeping In from the
broad acres Of the State.
Two hundred people were waiting
to greet, and about seven hundred people
were coming to Raleigh from their coun-
try homes.
The incOmers hailed from as far west as
Concord, and from as far east as the coast;
they were not all farmers, though the
greater part of them were. Many were
people from the towns along the lines,
and there was twinkling sprinkling Of
graceful young girls in the crush with a
gush of merry greeting in their eyes and
laughter For some of them had been
met by their partners, probably at the

TO FACILITATE TRADE.

The Railroad Commission Puts Cab
bages, Irish and Sweet Potatoes in
the Sixth Glass.
The products Of the West, their apples
and cabbage and things raised in the
mountains, have been practically shut
out from the East by the high freight
rates from one part of the State to an
other. These things have been shipped to
Baltimore jobbing houses, and thence to
the eastern part Of this State, cheaper
than they can be shipped direct. And
80 it has heen with the truck of the East.
The Railroad Commission has taken
the matter in hand, and yesterday
changed the classification of cabbages,
Irish and sweet potatoes to the sixth
class. The Circular is No. As and pro
vides that on and after October 28th,
1895, this change in classification will be
in effect.

Some of the Exhibits.

So the rought places were brushed
aside in the opening of the fair. Some
Of the exhibits were 80 striking as to
arrest the eye at once, among them, the
Holt and Homewood cattle and poultry,
the Mccormick Harvesting Machine in
operation, the Matching Incubator, in
Machinery Hall, which attracted many.
The Columbia Guano Company, show
ing great taste in arrangement; Sparger
Brothers, tobaccoinsts, had their negro
hands at work and singing-mostly max
ing rolls. To-day they will be in full fac
tory swing with factory songs by the way.
The Odell Manufacturing Company's
ginghams and bleachings received many
compliments, and the Tobacco Liberty
Bell, from the factory Of President
Julian S. Carr commanded immediate
attention by its taste and timehness.
Then from Occoneechee (the country
place of President Carr there wG.s an
unsurpassed exhibit Of grain and vege
tables, tie rye, wheat and barley being
five feet and over in height. The booth
will b. found complete and refreshing
agr;cul ural realization Of what North
Carolina c21 % under the touch Of
work ard pub ie spirit. Two specialties
in this booth should rot be forgotten.
The Cow of Butter.
One is Il W, almost life size, made
entirely of butter creamy looking as an
Isthmian banana. Pendant above all is
mammoth ear of corn, hung horizon
tally. Il is about FIVE feet IN length and
about foot in diameter. The grains are
as full and plump as OK teeth. OF course
this is a representation only, bat it ID a
very interesting specimen Of what can be
done to make even an exhibit of corn
attractive. The pantry supplies from all
over the State are toothsome looking,
and bespeak dear homes and dainty
hands. The wine exhibits attracted much
attention, specially those Of Mr.. Wbar
ton Green, of Fayetteville, and G5lay &
Son, of Mcdowell county.
Kings Daughters and Good Shepherd.
In the rush, must not be forgotten the
two lunch counters Of the Kings Daugh-
tiers and that one furnished by the good
women Of the Church of the Good
Shepherd. AS many as can will by
taking their meals here, be putting
bread in the mouths of others who need
