ARGUS BUREAU,
RALEIGH. Jan. 8, 1895.
Your correspondent this morn
ing interviewed Maj. Grant, of
Goldsboro, who is here to con-
test the seat of Mr.. Aycock,
about what changes he intended
to ask the Legislature to make
in the charter of Goldsboro. He
said that a bill would be intro
duced and passed, extending the
limits of Goldsboro for about
500 feet in every direction. This
measure, he said, would bring
within the corporate limits and
subject to taxation a large
amount of property in the sub
urbs. Maj. Grant also said that
the city of Goldsboro would be
divided into two wards only, but
that this measure, as the extern
sion of the city limits. had no
political significance. A strange
thing is that Mr.. Grant, himself
a fusionist, should want the town
to remain under democratic rule,
but that seems to be his desire.
"Goldsboro is already gerry
wandered" he said, ''but | don't
wish to re-gerrymander it. l am
as much interested in the well
fare of the city as any one."
Late yesterday Afternoon, a
white man. Jim" Hannah, got
into a dispute with four laborers
in a cotton mill. They set upon
Hannah but he fought back, took
away a pair Of brass knuckS from
one of his assailants, and pro-
ceeded to clean up the crowd,
Hannah made his escape but the
police caught his battered vic
Tins.
There are now 100 telephones
on the exchange list here. The
service will soon be greatly i'm
proved. 1t is one Of the best eX-
changes in the South.
The decentralization commit
tee of Baptists, who are to urge
the legislature to take away the
appropriation to the University,
are here. The members Of the
committee are J. B. Bruner, Col
jumbo Durham and DR.. j. w. Car
ter. The committee r. now
preparing their report. They
say that they are sure Of carry
ing their point, but there are
those who believe they will make
a dismal failure. In fact the
Populists seem to be much better
disposed toward that institution
than they have been given credit
for.
Last evening Rev. Mr.. Pitten-
ger, pastor of the Good Shep-
perd Episcopal church, preached
the first of a series Of sermons on
1.-The Church" It is learned that
Bishop Cheshire and Rev. Mr..
Murdoch will soon occupy that
pulpit and preach on that sub
ject. The Good Shepherd church
is now the Good Shepherd Ca
thedral church, the Bishop hav-
ing so named it. Day after to-
morrow Rev. Pittenger will wed
Miss Carrot, a popular young
lady of Garner.
This morning a committee, APP
pointed by the executive commit
tee of the board of trustees of
the University, met and examin-
ed the reports of the burser and
treasurer Of the institution. The
committee was composed of three
Raleigh gentlemen, Col. T. S.
lKenan, w. J. Peele and r. T.
(Gray, Esq.
The Y. M. C. A.. will next
ISunday celebrate it's ninth ami
versary. DR.. Thomas Hume, of
the University, will deliver the
address. Messrs. W. S. Primrose.
and R. Fl. Battle, of Raleigh, will
also speak on that occasion.
Your correspondent this morn
ing saw E. A. Johnson, Esq, a
colored lawyer and Republican,
who, with others, was severely
attacked in d circular signed by
so Republicans. The signers
denied that they had signed the
document and Mr. johnson went
to the printer. He told him that
| Rev. Leak, a colored preacher,
5 had first seen him about printing
5 the circular but that the man who
brought it to him he did not
know. Mr.. Johnson says that,
if he can procure sufficient evi
dence, he will prosecute Leak
for libel. The circular created q
stir here and promises to raise 6
:. pretty row in Republican cir
cles.
! Editor J. w. Goslin, of the
! Winston Republican, is here look
ing after the State printing. The
r general impression, however, is
that Barnes Bros, of this city
= will carry off the prize.
q Messrs Hanelin and Donald
son, colored secretary and presi
f dent of the N. G. Industrial AS
ISOLATION, have written the gov
' ernor, asking that he put
:: clause in his message to the leg
E islature recommending that tn
appropriation to the association
formerly $500, be increased t.
