IN MEMORY OF MAJOR LEWIS.
Resolutions passed by the Raleigh Bar
Yesterday.

Resolutions passed by the Ralelgn bar
Yesterday.
At an adjourned meeting of the Raj
eigh Bar in the court house yesterday
at / o'clock the following resolutions
in memory of the late Maj. a. M.
Lewis, were presented by the resolu-
ton committee which is composed
Of Walter Clark, Fabius III, Busbee,
George Y. Strong, Thos. NJ. Argo and
Armistead Jones:
augustus Marion Lewis, son of
Guilford and Jane Lewis, was born IN
Franklin county, N. c., 18th May, 1921,
and his youth was passed in that
county. He entered the University
of North Carolina taking an elective
course. and was contemporary at
that institution of Rev. DR.. Thomas
e. Skinner, Judge George Y. Strong,
Hon. j. b. Bachelor and others who
have since achieved prominence. lie
began the study of law at the Uni
versity under the Hon. w. III. Battle.
He left the University in 1845 and
soon after obtained his license to prac-
tice law. He located at first in Louis
burg, but not long afterwards remov-
ed to Raleigh, where he thereafter
resided continuously, except for
brief interval, until his death. Soon
after the close of the war he remov-
ed to Memphis, Tenn. There he en-
tered into law partnership with the
late Judge r. r. Heath and the late
Col ID. X. MacRae. All three mem
bers of this firm, after few years
returned TO their native State and
their bones now rest in the land they
loved so well.
'sMaior Lewis was a Democratic
candidate for Congress in the Raleigh
district in 1853, but owing to division
in the party, caused by the candidacy
of another Democrat, the Hon. Abram
W. Venable, the Wing candidate, Hon.
Sion H. Rogers was elected. Major
Lewis was member of the House of
Commons from Wake in 1856. He was
candidate of his party for the con-
vention from Wake in 1861. On the
outbreak of the war he was commits
stoned in the Quarter Masters depart
ment with the rank OF Major, and
stationed at Raleigh and rendered eff
fcient survice in clothing and provid-
ing for the North Carolina troops
during those four memorable years.
In January, 1848, he married Miss
Sarah NJ Gorham, one of the bellies
of Pitt county, and their union was
blessed with eight sons, two of whom
died in infancy, and three daughters.
In 1888 he joined the Baptist church
of which he remained a conspicuous
and honored member until his death.
ssAs a lawyer he was honorable in
practice and devoted to the interests
Of his clients. On cross examination
and in the address to the jury he had
few equals. His relations with his
brethren of the bar were kindly and
cordial and his departure from among
us has left void which cannot easily
be filled. Having lived beyond the
three score and ten years allotted to
man he has gone to his grave like
full shock of wheat in its season,
leaving the record of an honorable and
useful life behind him.
Therefore be it Resolved, that in
the death OF Major Augustus M. Lewis

THE MARLBOROUGH HOUSE CLOSED
Mr.. Raney Yesterday Removed Hi
Furniture From It.


viii the Marlborough be closed per-
manently?
This is the question everybody is now
asking, but one that nobody seems to
be able to answer.
Proprietor Brown refuses to reveal
his plans. Mrs. Grimes, the owner of
the building, is awaiting developments
Mr.. Raney, the owner of the furniture,
is the only person concerned that is
active. He was busy all day yesterday
removing his furniture from the hotel
and storing it in the warehouse in
the rear of the Pullen building. He
has obtained the furniture by AN order
of claim and delivery and later it win
be sold at public auction to satisfy the
mortgage he holds on it.
Last night this hotel, which for
so many years has been brilliantly
lighted and in which much of the his
tory of the State has been made-this
great pile where the leading men of
the State have been wont to assemble
on the eve of great conventions and
other gatherings of Importance, and
which has become known far and wide
to the travelling public-was black,
dismantled and deserted.
1t is generally believed that Mr..
Brown will make an effort to refurnish
the building, in part at least, and keep
the hotel open. This is the opinion
of his attorney, Mr.. r. t. Gray. He
said he didn't know what Mr.. Browns
plans were, but he thought he in
tended to retain his lease, which does
not expire for a year yet, and re-
furnish and keep the hotel open.
II am almost certain it will be kept
open until after the Legislature" he
said. Zone hotel cannot accommodate
the crowd that win be here then. Mr..
Brown made Mr.. Raney proposition
for lease of the furniture till then
as he has done during the Fair, but
Mr. Raney didn't think the terms such
as to enable him to accept the pro-
position and so he is having the furni-
ture removed"
Mr.. A. T. Cook, who has been chief
clerk at the Marlborough during the
Fair, said he thought Mr.. Brown would
get new furniture and keep the hotel
open.

Herald: ''In my opinion Mr. Bryan is
sure to carry this State by from twelve
to twenty thousand votes"
Hill King says he will vote for gold
bugs in order to secure free silver. We
suppose if King swallowed a potato
bug he would be fool enough to swal-
low a dose of paris green to kill the
Jacksonville Times.
A special from Raleigh to tine New
York Herald says that at Republican
headquarters it was said: "We have no
candidate against Pritchard. There is
no doubt of his reelection. He is a
straight Republican and entirely in
line with his party on the silver Dues
ton"
Attorney General Osborne, who has
just returned from the Eastern part
of the State, where lhe has been speak
ing, says that Democratic enthusiasm
in that section is intense. He thinks
there will be big Democratic gains
i'm all the Eastern counties where he
has been.
Mr.. J. A. Long, of Alamance, is here
attending the Supreme court. Speak
ing of the political situation in the
Fifth district he said: 'Ki'tchin is
going to beat Settle He will carry
Guilforxl, Rockingham, CasweIl, Per-
son, Durham, Orange and possibly Ala
nance He has gotten the better of
Settle in every joint debate and he is
gaining strength every day. The
Democrats are more enthusiastic than
they were two years ago, and Kitchin
wln poll the full Democratic vote-a
much larger vote than Graham got.
On the other hand, Settle has not the
enthusiastic support of his party.
Jim Boyd is very strong in the district
and since Settle made the mistake of
fighting him, Boyd's friends have been
anything but enthusiastic. They will
not knife Settle, but they will not in-
terfere much with the fellow who does.
This will make a great difference in
the result. Then again the Populists
are for Kitchin. In some of the coun-
ties / have just NAMED they will vote
for him almost to a man. DIR. Dalby
is not in the race at all. Nobody con-
s,ders him seriously, and very few of
the Populists will vote for him."
Railroad Commissioner e. c. Bed
dingfield returned Sunday from n
campaigning tour in the middle West.
He brings the most cheering news
from that section, where he has been
for the past two weeks. eff the East
does anything like as well as the West
then Democratic success is assured.
The election of Adams, Doughton and
Kitohin consider certain. There are
a number of counties in the West that
went against us last time that will
give good Democratic majorities this
years. Cleveland will give Bryan a

A BUSY DAY IN THE COURTS.
Two Wife-Beaters and Two Burglars
on Trial.

1t was blue Monday in the Mayors
court yesterday, only two cases coming
before that tribunal for trial These
were plain Saturday night DRINKS
and got off lightly.
But Justice Roberts had rather
busy time OF it, and his mill OF justice
was kept grinding all day.
The first offender was Anderson
Lewis. 1t appeared on trial that An
derson was usually quiet, industrious
and peacably disposed darlley. But
Saturday night he was not exactly him.
self. He had about half a pint of corn
Juice under Ghis shirt. In this condition
he went home and when he reached
there, not finding things just as he
thought they ought to be, he proceeded
to '.lamibaste" his better half to teach
her THAT his wife, like Caesars, must
be above even suspicion. Anderson
wis fined, and, after paying the fine and
cost allowed to GO free as the wife had
relented and asked that he be not
punished.
The next case was very much OF
the same nature, eNcept that
Robert Weathers, not having a wife,
had given his sister a threshing in
stead This also appeared to pc a
drunken row, and only small fine
was entered up against him. Not being
able to pay even this he was sent
to the work-house.
Lula Brown, a belle of the Bowery,
created a diversion from wife beating.
She was charged with being a common
nuisance. Witnesses swore that she
cod hiNv~ 0.Y,
on the street. All this Lula denied
and as she didn't think she could get
justice before Judge Roberts her case
will come up before Justice Barbee
this morning.
Walter Smith, a young coon with
considerable sporting propensities,
was the next evil-doer whom justice
had oyertaken. Saturday evening he
concluded he wanted some better
clothes, so early that night he entered
the house of Mr.. A. V. Emory, near the
Southern freight depot, and stole
some clothes, gold watch, a pistol
and several other articles of value.
Some of these things were pawned
and the officers were not long in find
ing and arresting Smith with the
balance of his booty, including the
clothes on his person.
Another thief betrayed by the pawn
shop was William Hodge, a black, bur-
" negro, who last week entered the
house of Mr.. Sidney Partin, about four
miles east of Raleigh. He went in
while the family was at the Fair and
took all the firearms and razors he
could find, then bundled up a lot
of clothes and came to town. Several
OF the stolen articles were soon pawn
ed and William was soon under arrest,
8otn- sae and Smith are now occupying
q cell in Wake county Jail awaiting
the January term of court.
