THE RALEIGH AND ALBEMARLE
RAILROAD.

When it was first learned that the
Southern railroad would make Nor
folk, Va, its freight terminus, there
was a general belief that this change
would secure the completion of the
Raleigh and Albemarle railroad which
has been completed to Springhope.
This road would materially shorten
the route to Norfolk, and run through
q fine section of country. The people
along the proposed line are greatly in
terested, and we publish a conmuni-
cation to-day which seeks to start agi-
tation for the completion of this long
desired line 1t would be n great adj
vantage TO Raleigh, and the Chamber
Of Commerce might properly move in
this matter
There has been some talk of building
"a direct line from Wilson to Tarboro,
which would shorten the route, instead
of completing the Springhope branch
to Raleigh. If the people of Raleigh,
Wake and Nash want the short line
they ought to take steps to secure it,
if happy local effort will have any
effect.

FAIR DID NOT SHOOT.
The Male Heir to the Fig Estate Meets
Mr.. Delmas in Notary's ONCE
and Is Very Mild.

Charles Fair and D, M. Delmas came face
to face yesterday morning in the office OF
Notary Phillips, room so, in the Croker
building.
The occasion was the taking of the depo-
sition of Mr.. Fair in the suit of Caldwell
to recover the package of letters written
by Senator Fair to the plaintiff and which
he alleges were secured from him by Mr..
Fair through Misrepresentation. The
deposition was not taken, being postponed
for week at the request of Mr.. Fair, but
one purpose of the citation YVES served.
Mr.. Fair appeared and ubmitted himself
to the jurisdiction of the notary like any
other peaceable and law-abiding citizen.
That he would do so was question in
doubt, made so by Mr.. Fair himself.
1t has been the common gossip of the
street lately how Mr.. Fair has been swear
ing all Sorts of dire things against Mr..
Delmas. 1t has been declared that Mr.
Fair had certain vengeances to wreak
against Mr.. Delmas because of his activity
in behalf OF his client, Mrs. Craven, and
against the Fair heirs or the Fair estate
and that at his Mr.. Fair's) first meeting
with Mr. Delmas he designed to shed his
(Mr. Delmas) blood. So when Mr.. Fair
was called to meet Mr.. Delmas within the
limitations of notary's office some little
interest was felt IN the incident by the
friends of the one and the other.
BUTT was all very mild. Mr.. Delmas and
the notary were on hand at 10 o'clock,
neither of them being armed so tar as APP
peared. Mr.. Fair, accom- panied by his at
torney, Charles Heggerty, also reported
on time, and Mr.. Heggerty, on behalf of
his client, asked that the matter 90 over
until December II, which request Mr..
Delmas granted, not wishing to cause any
unnecessary inconvenience to Mr.. Fair.
No exhibition of i'll temper even marred
the meeting, the party, apparently in the
best of humor, descending the elevator to-
gather

DARING BURGLARS
BUS|LY At WORK
Two Places Entered Close
to the New City
Hall.
One a Saloon Opposite the En-
trance to the Central
Police Station.
The Police Are Making Every Effor I
to Capture the MN, Who
Seem TO Defy Them.

One of the most daring burglaries that
has probably ever been perpetrated in the
City is being investigated by the police
with small chance of finding the culprits.
The daring part OF the burglary lies in
the fact that it was committed in saloon
on the corner OF Ash avenue and Larkin
street, the entrance to which is directly
opposite the entrance to the Central police
station.
The saloon is occupied by Henry Peard,
who lives in the upper fat with his wife
and family.
Tuesday morning when Peard opened
the saloon he saw at once that during the
night it had been visited by burglars. The
cash register had been forced open, but
the burglars met with a disappointment,
as Peard is careful to remove all the money
from it every night on closing. No attempt
had apparently been made to force open the
safe, probably from the fear that the noise
might attract the attention of the police
men on duty at the Central station.
The cigars had been carefully sampled
and box OF the finest brand Was selected
and carried away. How many bottles of
liquor were stolen is not known.
The police were ut once notified and an
investigation showed that an entrance had
been effected by the rear door. A gate
leads into the rear from Ash avenue, and
it was an easy matter TO force it open. A
hole was cut in the door close to the bolt
and large enough to permit mans hand
and wrist to pass through and slide the
bolt back.
The burglary caused the greatest con-
sternation at the Central police station,
as it was committed right under the noses
of the police, and showed an utter con-
tempt for the force on the part OF the
burglars. 1t is this fact that is squirting
on the detectives In their efforts to dis
cover the identity ofthe burglars.
The burglars are believed to be the same
men who broke into Kibbler's drugstore,
Turk and Larkin Streets about a week
ago.
They climbed the fence in the rear on
| Turk street and obtained an entrance by
cutting hole in the rear door, just as
they did at Peard's saloon. They took
about $40 and a pair OF opera-glasses from
desk which they forced open with a
Jimmy"
The police think that the burglars be-
long TO the neighborhood, and they are
working on that theory.

interest in the display, as the exhibition
marks a departure from time-honored
customs of the Art Association. The work
of local artists is now displayed in the
winter collection in order that the con-
tributors may get the advantage OF the
holiday demand for pictures.
Artists have good cause to congratulate
them selves on the excellence of the ex-
amples exhibited. The pictures repl esent
the color and life OF Pacific Coast subjects.
Much of the scenery is of mountain, glen,
forest, field and seashore of California.
To institute comparisons with former
displays or note deviations it may be said
that tendency TO figure painting is dis
cernible. a striving to produce startling
impressions is not evident. The artists
have not gone ont of their way to initiate
Beardsley. Gibson girls are not brought
into prominence. In short, there is little
of the freakish or sensational in the exhi-
bition. Many of the pictures are little
gems of merlt-bits of landscape worthy
of study on their lights and shadows. The
color of California scenery is everywhere
dominant.
In the main gallery on the line Thomas
Hill has four examples, namely: "April
Showers" sketch from nature; "Sunset on
the Foothills" cattle; Evening in the
Painless Woods; Morning in the Foot
