A Chicago paper says there are not cars
enough to convey the cattle and grain
TO be moved from the west to the sea-

agitation we might have good times al
most at once. However it is a comfort
to know that three weeks hence there
will be peace in nolltics.

At this distance 1t begins to look as il
there would not be after the election
enough of the North Carolina democracy
left to shake a stick at. The North Caro-
lima democrats have proceeded on the as
sumption that the way to whip the popu-
lists was to lie down before
them. They have been chiseled
out Of their inheritance, ana
there is every reason for believing the
populists will step into power upon the
body Of PROSTATE democracy. A party
with no more backbone deserves the fate
that is overtaking, or has overtaken. the
democracy Of North Carolina.

Conductor I.alley Killed.

Daniel Lally, a conductor on the West
Jersey and Seashore Railroad, who was
well and favorably known to the readers
OF the Press was instantly killed last
Thursday afternoon near the Chelsea
Excursion House. He had temporary
charge OF the gravel train and signalled
the engineer to back up SO as to give
a clear track to an approaching trolly
car. The engineer started so suddenly
that Lally was thrown from the rear
car and was crushed beneath the wheels,
death being instantaneous. Mr.. Lally
was conductor on the Branch train last
Summer and won many friends by his
genial manners and gentlemanly conduct.
A peculiarly sad phase OF his death is
that ne leaves a newly-wedded bride
to mourn his loss, to whom he had been
married but three months. At the Coron-
er s inquest, held on Friday, the verdict
exonerated the train hands from blame,
but censured the railroad company for
not having proper signals in the tower
for the guidance OF the employees.

THE EMPIRE.
Successful vaudeville Season at
Atlantic City.

Vaudeville in the City by -the-S WAS
failure last season because the inargura-
tion of that style of amusement with
anadmissionfeeettac achedwasnotm ma neR6
on popular lines. This season Music
Hall fell into the hands OF Mr.. Louis
uehnle, reiitted it an changed its name
to The Empire. Mr.. Louis Donneily,
an experienced theatrical manager, and
beach front owner, was given control
OF the Empire, and he drew around him
strong, accomplished assistants, among
them Mr.. ". j. Fielding, business man
ager and Mr.. Robert Kirk, treasurer.
Then he began and has continued The
season with a superior class OF artists.
AS logical consequence the Empire
sprang into popular favor at once, and
instead OF losing money, it has made
some. Nowhere else in the United States
can more legitimate drama and spark
ling entertainment be found for 25 cents.
The audiences at the Empire come from
the best social circles OF the leading hotels
as well as the old residents of Atlantic
City. AS the performances are continu-
Gus one need not fear to lose the climax
OF a play by leaving at an early hour,
and as it is, the program is finished before
the last motor train leaves Tennessee
