FIREWORKS THIS EVENING.
Daylight Display at 6 p. NJ, Night Dis
pIav at Nine--At PuIlen Park,
The "Glorious Fourth"

The "Glorious Fourth"
To-day being a legal holiday, all the
banks and public buildings will be clos
ed, and the postoffice will observe hol-
iday hours.
The great features of the day are
the two displays of fireworks at Pull
len Pork.
This afternoon at six o'clock there
will be a beautiful display of japanese
day fireworks. This is especially for
children and ladies who will be unable
to attend the night display. 1t will be
a pretty and attractive sight for all.
At nine o'clock tonight the rockets
and mines and candles and set pieces
will be lighted, and there will be
shown one of the most superb displays
of fireworks Raleigh has ever witness
ed. The street car company has made
ample arrangements for the accommo-
dation of the thousands who will see
the display, but it will be well to OBJ
serve the old adage, $50 early, and a
void the rush"
Everybody will be there; and every
body who goes will be pleased with the
magnificent display of pyrotechnics.
Manager Chas. johnson, of the Raj
eigh Electric Co, has charge OF the
entire celebration, and to him is due
the credit for the beautiful displays.

North Carolina the Recipient OF Many

Governor Carr and staff returned
Yesterday from Richmond. On the
trip they were the guests Of Col. \. b..

Dominion.
Governor Carr and stan ro,ie al 1i1@
head of the battalion of North caro-
lima infantry under command OF Col.
w. A. Bobbitt, of Oxford; and acted
as escort to two thousand North Caro-
lima Confederate veterans. Governor
Carr rode a magnificent black horse
that was rendered him for the occasion
by Mr.. p. ii. Mayo, of Richmond
All along the line of march the
North Carolinians excited much APP
plause and cheers. The Durham dele
cation with their cedar standards
"First at Bethel, Last at AppomattoX"
created considerable favorable com
ment.
Governor Carr's headquarters were at
the Jefferson hotel, where many call
ed to pay their respects to him and
his staff. They were present at Gov
ernor O'Ferrall's reception, which was
attended by a large number OF the
notables of the occasion. Mrs. Carr
was invited to receive with Mrs. OFer-
rail-, but was unable to go to Rich
mond.
The North Carolinians were every
where received with cordial considera-
ton. and were the recipients of many
honors. The old State held promin-
ent place in the grand gathering OF
Southern heroes.
JUDGE AVERY CORRECTED HIM
When the fight for the next reunion
was on between Baltimore and Nash
vile. delegate from Tennessee said
that State had furnished 10000 troops,
the largest number furnished by any
Southern State.
Judge Avery stepped to the front
at is a pleasure to me-" he SAID, ITO
second the motion of the gentleman
from Tennessee, but | wish to correct
an historical error he has made. North
Carolina furnished to the Confederacy
more troops tidIl any Ot'iNi '0''''N
$4,000. Tennessee, the daughter OF
North Carolina, furnished ll5,00o'
This record of North Carolina
daughter makes her raise her claim to
100000 furnished by herself and her
daughter" Of the 5000 muskets sur
rendered at AppomattoX he said 1850
were North Cardinals.
His remarks were greeted with en-
thusiastic applause, and his clever
sally turned the day in favor of Nash
Vile. where the veterans meet next
year.

$40 IN PERMANENT IMPROVE

at will be observed that all OF the
above were Improvements of a perma-
nent nature and that out of the $10,-
573.03 spent on our streets last year,
IS, 1000 was put in Improvements of a
substantial and lasting nature that
win benefit the city for generations to
come, whereas only $2,133.03 was
spent upon our streets in making tenn
porary repairs. We believe that this
i. a record almost unparalleled in the
history of any city the size of Raleigh,
and we feel that this administration
has reason to be justly proud OF it.
I'm addition to the above caused

BASEBALL TO-DAY.

To-day's game of baseball between
Franklinton and Raleigh promises to
be close and interesting. Franklinton
has one of the strongest amateur teams
i'm the State. Person, the pitcher, has
a record as an amateur twriler which
many professionals would be proud of;
in a recent game he had twenty-one
Strike-outs to his credit. Watkins and
Riddle win be the battery for the
Colts"
The grand stand will be completed

NO RETURN TO OLD SYSTEM.
'If IL is the opinion OF this board
that We should stop all permanent
Improvements and return 10 the old
system, your committee is wiling 10
give way 10 the appointment Of an
other as the old system does not COM
mend itself to us and we would not
feel justified in conducting the affairs
of our department in manner which
did not accord with our views.
"But if it is desired by this board
that we continue the course already
mapped out by us, we shall endeavor
to do so to the best of our ability.
THIS YEARS IMPROVEMENTS.
"The permanent improvements con-
templated this year may cost slightly
more than they did last year, owing
largely to the recent heavy rains
which washed out two old culyerts
that had been in bad condition for
some time, but our estimate is that the
improvements which we propose to
make this year will not exceed a cost
81 10000, or a total expenditure for
our department of about $16,0o0.00.
HOW TT AFFECTS THE CITY.
at is our opinion that nothing
would add more materially to the sub
stantial growth, welfare and prosper
ity of our city than the identifying
and improving of our sidewalks and
streets. But these improvements must
necessarily be gradual and productive
| of discomfort if required to be done
| out of the current resources of the
| city. If done gradually, certain Sec
tions of the city have to be selected
and improved at the start
ISSUE OF BONDS PROPOSED.
eve believe that better results can
be obtained, both in the nature of the
improvements and in the cost of the
same. by issuing bonds. and having all
street work of a permanent nature
pushed with greater rapidity. The
permanent Improvements on our
streets ought not in our opinion be
required to be paid for out OF the cur
rent income of the city, as they are
for future generations as well as the
present, and future generations will
largely reap the benefit of these inn
provements, and the cost for them
ought to be distributed through a
number Of years by issuing bonds. The
current resouces OF the city should
only be required each year to provide
for the interest on thes bonds and
proportionate part for their maturity.
We believe that the increased income
of the city aecruing from the enhanced
valuation of property by reason of
these street improvements would be
more than sufficient to pay the inter-
est on the bonds.
BRING IN A NEW ERA.
In addition to that, every citizen
would catch the feeling of progress,
and would be animated with a desire to
improve his property. Strangers pass
ing through our city would be attract
ed by our beautiful streets, and by
the spirit of thrift and enterprise
which existed here, and foreign CAPT
tai would begin to pour into our midst
and Raleigh would enter upon an
era Of prosperity never yet eqHaled in
its history"
The report was adopted.

tower is occupied by sn operator who
is charged with the duty of seeing
that the train having the right of way

NAY BE LYNCHED
A NEGRO MURDERER MAY RECEIVE
SUMMARY PUNISHMENT.
He Murders n Young Lady After
Knocking Her Down and Assault
ing Her - Threats Are Made OF
Lynching the Murderer When He
Is Returned to the Scene of the
Crime.

Washington, July 81. - A toroner's
jury to-day found James Smith, the
negro waiter, guilty of the murder last
night of Miss Marguerite Drown at
Seat Pleasant, a large country board
ing house about eight miles from
Washington in Prince George county,
and late developments in the case
have added so much horror to the
crime that there are numerous threats
of another Maryland lynching as soon
as q convenient opportunity occurs.
Smith was arrested by the Washing
ton police in the northern part of the
city, and i'll view of the excited con-
dition of the people of Prince George
county probably will be held until
formal requiSition is made in order to
permit the excitement to be partly al
layed
The negro made two confessions,
partly contradictory but each admit
ting the murder. In the first confess
sion he said he had been intimate with
the murdered girl, for whose foster
mother he had worked several years,
that Mrs. Drown had discovered the
fact and had discharged him, but had
re-employed him on his and the girls
promise to cease such relations, and
that he cut Miss browns throat with
a knife yesterday because she rejected
advances he had made to her again.
In his second confession he declared
that he had not told the truth when he
asserted that he had had relations
with the girl, and denied that he had
outraged as we'll as murdered her yes
terday, but also stated that he had
gone to her room for the purpose of
making advances to her. had been re-
pulsed, had choked her into uncon-
seriousness and then had procured
knife from the kitchen and killed her.
The doctor who performed the au-
topsy said his examination of the body
showed that the girl first had been
knocked down and rendered uncon-
scious by blow on the forehead, then
outraged and later killed by the sew
ering of the windpipe and jugular
vein. The jury promptly returned it's
verdict in accordance with this evil
dence. The negro servants about the
place were held in custody on suspic-
ion that they knew more of the affair
than was disclosed in their testimony.

sAToLLrs SUCCESSOR.
The Cardinal Speaks Highly of Rev.
Father MartinelH.

Father Martineln.
Washington, Aug. 1.-When the In
formation of the appointment Of Rev.
Father Martinelli was communicated
to Cardinal Satolli, this afternoon, he.
paid tribute to the great esteem in
which the superior general is held.
The cardinal is without official adj
vices as to the appointment of sue
cessor to himself, and regards it as I'M
likely that the appointment would be
made at this time. Father Martinelll
has hot been mentioned in the gossip
that has cente"ed about the successor
ship to Mgr. Satolli. Rumors have
been frequent during the past few
weeks as to the possible successor, and
the names of Mgr. LoreDZelli, the IN
ternuncio at The Hague. and Mgr. Fal-
COMO, titular archbishop of Aconzia,
Italy, have been persistently men
toned in this connection. Father Mar
tinelli, however, is regarded as an
available candidate, and is credited
with excellent executive ability. lie
has been connected in various capacl-
ties with the Order of the Angus
tinians almost all his life He was
born over so years ago, and immediate
ly after his graduation from the scho-
lastic institutions of the Catholic
church, in which he was placed, he
joined the Augustinians. For a time
he was attached in consulting capac-
ity to one of the congregations at
Rome. He rose .'apidly in authority,
and several years ago was given the
appointment to the Office he now
holds. AS superior general he has
charge of the interests of the Angus
tinians throughout the world, and
about him is grouped council which
assists in the administration of the at
fairs of the orga1iizat ton. Father Mar
tinelli visited the United States two
years ago.
