RALEIGH. N. c.. May G.-Cspeclal.)-
Mr.. Charles j.. Pettigrew, one OF the
commissioners of the Atlanta exposition.
is perfectlng an arrangement by which
the Atlantic-Coast Line, the Southern,
and the Seaboard Airline railways will
consolidate their exhibits from North
Carolina and completely illustrate the re-
sources Of their territory In this State.
and will also transfer to Atlanta the
magnificent collection in the State Mu-
scum, and thus have a grand display In
a spacious and handsome building. II
this is done the exhibit will be even finer
than the one the State proposed to make.
Grape-buyers from the North are now
going through this State contracting for
the purchase OF the crop. They say the
outlook for the crop Is much finer than
in any State they have before visited.
The grape crop In North Carolina is
heavy and promising. Prices Will rule

THE OUSTED REPUBLICANS.
The Republicans here claim now that
they will take into the courts the case OF
the two ousted Republican aldermen.
They say that as none of the six Repub-
lican aldermen made the required re-
ports of election expenses by
May 18th they all ceased to be
aldermen that day, and, therefore, there
was no quorum of the board last Friday
evening. as there were only six Demo
cratic members; that. therefore. the acts
OF the aldermen were illegal, as the char
ter says seven shall constitute a quorum
They have employed Spier Whitaker as
counsel. The Democrats say none OF the
four remaining Republicans will be ousted
that the expulsion was done to make a
test-oase; that one Of the expelled Re
publicans left at once, leaving six Demo
Gratis and FIVE Republicans.
