WHOLESALE THEFT.
BILLS STOLEN AT RANDOM AND THE
JOURNAL TAMPERED WITH.

The Record of the Fusion Legislature OnI,
beginning to be Known: That Com
m1ttee of Investigation: Railroad
Troubles: The Confederate Monument
Other Items of General Interest
! The crowning disgrace Of a
| disgraceful legislature is the ap.
/ polntment of committee, and
such committee, to investigate
the charges made by Mrs. P. D.
b. Arlington against many law
fyers and public men. The com
mlttee is composed of Campbell,
the Legislatures fool, Bryan, Of
Chatham, and Phillips, of Pitt.
Phillips is the only one in the
crowd that has a ray of intelli-
gence. Bryan is the man who
tried to sneak through bill to
take away the University's ap-
preparation, and Campbell needs
no mention. His only quali6ca-
ton for any Office is a set of false
teeth. Last evening two of the
committee were very drunk. 1t
is doubtful when they will get
away, as they draw their per
diems still and may hold on in
definitely.
The troubles of tt e Seaboard
Air Line, of which [ informed
you some days ago, are getting
serious. Now a strike is talked
over by the engineers. They
have even prepared for strike.
The action is brought on by a
proposed reduction in the wages
of the engineers and the minute
it is done they will, very. prob
ably, all step out. Their broth
erhood is a strong association and
they Will make a hard fight when
the cut in wages comes.
The wood working shops of
the Raleigh and CASTOR railroad
which were recently moved from
here to Portsmouth have been
ordered removed back here. 1t
is the policy of the S. A. L. to
establish other shops and have
each road Of the system do it.
The speakers at the centennial
commencement exercises in
Chapel Hill have been selected.
They are Hon. A. NJ Waddell. of
Wilmington, and A. II. Eller, of
Winston. Mr.. Waddell will
speak on the old University, Mr..
Eller on the new. The exercises
will be Of more interest and
larger number of people vii be in
attendance than has ever before
been the case.
AT Millbrook. in Wake county,
there has appeared three repre-
sentatlVes OF a sect very similar,
if not the same, as Mormons.
They have been speaking among
the more ignorant classes and
have made some converts. Feel |
ing in the country is strong
against them and they will be
run out of the county.
This morning a market man,
greatly pleased with the pay
ment of a bill by customer, sent
for her in carriage and publicly |
presented her with a chair.
The racket about bills being
stolen from the legislature is
still being talked about l in
formed you from time to time of |
bills that had been stolen; now
it is claimed that this stealing
was wholesale; that the journal |
even was tampered with. Speak
er Walser didn't waste much |
time in getting out of Raleigh.
Had he stayed here he would |
have had an unpleasant time. |
The people were disgusted with |
him and his wayofdoing' justice.
The way he craWled back in his
chair after he had insulted Ray, |
and Immediately apologized for
doing SO, was more than anus
ing. 1t was Disgusting
Mr.. O. j. Carroll has been Sc
lected by tke Monumental Asso-
citation as chief marshal at the un-
yelling Of the monument on May |
Goth.
The inscriptions on the monu-
ment are being cut. They will |
be ITO Our Confederate Dead"
and "F'irst at Bethel, Last at
Appomatox." The whole monu-
ment is to be polished highly.
When an incoming train came
in to-day it brought with it a
buzzard, impaled on a brass rod
that projects in front of the en-
gine. The buzzard was struck
while flying across the track.
The blunt rod was driven nearly
through its body and it didn't
fall off until it reached Raleigh,
after having been carried 12l
miles.
