A SPOTTER SPOTTED.
Raleigh Visited by a s. A. l.. Detec"
tiye-He Talks and Gets Slapped.

There is rumbling again among the
S. A. L. employees. 1t has not broken
out yet, but storm is brewing. There
was a presence in Raleigh yesterday that
caused just little of the rumbling to be
heard here His name is O. Mesick, and
he registered from New York. H trar
els, it is said, as a S. A L
advertising agent, but some thjLk
that be has another IT'LL, aud they
dub him "a st. John detective"
He came to Raleigh yesterday morn
ing from Hamlet. He came quietly
mighty quietly he remained compare,
lively quiet, but he is not dumb, for he
talked. He didn't talk loud but he
talked all the same. Mr.. Winder's chief
clerk was "a sassy fellow" and that's
what's the matter with Elliott
A conductor had been called down for
having pass signed by very high S. A.
L. official and told that they were mo
good any more"
At Hamlet some intoxicated man shot
an air rifle at a block near the train.
The fl bert glanced and struck the car
window. This was a sufficient basis for
martyr story, and it was alluded to in
conversation.
Mr.. Geo. Meredith, former engineer,
and at present cuai inspector for the s.
A. L., was in town 4 friend told him
that he was being Swallowed by Nesick.
Late in the afternoon Meredith met Me-
sick on Fayetteville street and said to him,
Il hear that | am disturbing you and
have been told that you are shadowing
me and wanted to know what my name
was"
''It's id lie" said Mesick, where
upon Meredith slapped the face of the
gentleman from New York, who ran
and lodged behind a wagon. When
policeman suggested to him that he
could get a warrant for e,edith's ar
rest, he replied:
mo, am going to leave on the first
train.
1t is said that Mesick is only one of
several ''St. John detectives, and it was
said also that conductors and engineers
were being Swallowed and but for the
strength of their organization, some
head chopping would doubtless have
already occurred. Mesick has been
here before, not many time, but
several times. He was here October 4th
and October 18th, both times at the
Marlborough. On these occasions be was
in room II. Yesterday he was in
room n.
Meredith took the train yesterday
morning at Monroe for Raleigh, and Me-
sick came on the same train, from the
same place, At Raleigh, Mesick asked
man who Meredith was and got his
name. In the afternoon Meredith was
in Kings drug store, and, strange, or
not strange, to say Mesick turned up,
too, in the drug store. 1t was then that
Meredith addressed him, winding up
with slapping the fellows face. Mere
dith is still in town Mesick, doubtless,
good as his word, left last night.

DIR. Watt Recommended for A. and
M. Scholarship.

The Board of County Commissioners
met again yesterday. After transacting
scme routine business, they again took
up the selection of a student to fill the
Wake county scholarship vacancy 10 the
Agricultural and Mechanical College.
AS there was no express provision, in
the new school law, giving them the au
thority to appoint to the vacancy, they
did not think their authority extended
so far But following the action of the
Commissioners in other counties they
recommended for the vacancy. There
were three applicants, all of whom stood
well From these they selected Mr.. D.
8. Watt, Jr., one OF Raleigh's bright
boys. President Holiday will make the
formal appointments.

THREE STEAMERS MAY BE LOS {
II the Vessels Went Down Over 100
Lives have Been Lost.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 12-Pri-
yate advices from Guaymas, to-day esti-
mate that the steamers Diego, Mazatlan
and another small gulf coaster have
been lost with all on board. The craft
were in the direct path of the hurricane
of Thursday and nothing has been heard
of them, though one was due at Guaymas
and the other at Mazatlan some days
ago.
a number of miners, Americans and
Mexicans, took passage on the steamers,
and if it is true that the vessels went
down, hundred lives have probably
been lost. There is great difficulty in
communicating with the districts visited
by the gale.
