Tie brook and river long ago have met:

every deed

RESIDENCE BURNED.

\ heap Of smeuldering ruins and seve-
raj bare chimneys alone remain to mark
the spot where stood one of the hand
soonest country residences in Wake
county. The elegant home of ex-Judge
Spicr Whitaker was destroyed by fire
early yesterday morning. A short time
since Judge Whitaker moved to Raleigh
and all of his furniture, etc, except a
cook stove, were brought here. The barns
and the stables, in which there were sew
'eral horses and cows, were not injured by
the fire.
The origin of the fire is unknown. Two
colored servants who have been with
Judge Whitaker long time were sleep
ing down stairs in the house and they
awoke barely in time to save them
selves. The fire occurred about 2 a. m.
Judge Whitaker says the house cost
$4,5 500 and was insured for $1,000 1t
contained ten rooms and a 400 gallon
water tank was situated on top, but this
was empty.

a comedy constructed for laughing pur
poses and on its presentation at the
18th Street Theatre, New York scored

it is one of the finest if not the noblest
characters ever portrayed on the stage

to help anybody and everybody, and
charitable to the extreme. While it is
for fun, the plot for there is a plot

est and excitemen almost takes ones
breath away, and the curtain falls a.

ESCAPED, But RECAPTuRED

There is a little 15-year-old white how
in the State Prison here from Ashe
vile who cut boy in that city in a
horrible manner with a knife Governor
Russell wa sinterested in the boy and
wanted him placed in a reformatory, so
he was kept in the State Prison only
temporarily. He was not required to wear
stripes and only light duties were as
signed him. He was allowed to sleep in
guard room, separated from the other
convicts. The other night he stole $6.70
fro none of the guards and watching his
chance slipped over the wall and came to
Raleigh. One of the men at the prison
was soon dispatched for him, and his
freedom was very short indeed. When
he was carried back he was whipped with
a switch by Warden Russell, brother Of
the Governor, dressed in convict's clothes
and put at hard work.

A FALSE ALARM.
Raleigh Fire Companies Quickly Re
sponded

sponded
Yesterday shortly after 10 O'Clock an
alarm of fire was given. The bell struck
81, and 50 is the number of the box at
the Insane Asylum, just southwest from
the city. The fire companies responded
quickly indeed one of them reached the
asylum in seven and a half minutes. A
large number of young men, and old ones,
too, jumped on their wheels and started
for the asylum. Indeed, the report that
the asylum was on fire caused a sensa-
ton. Well, when the breathless crowd
reached that institution there was no
sign of fire, except the smoke which
rose from the great chimney in the rear.
The alarm had not been turned in from
any of the four boxes there, for the glass
on none of them had been broken The
only conclusion remaining was that the
alarm had been produced by a disar-
rangement of the wires on the line;
probably they had been crossed. There
was no fire at the asylum.

ONE OBJECT LESSON or THE UNFlTNESS
IF THIS ADMINISTRATION.

There are many reasons why the IN
tplligence of the State should forget Tor
tho time being everything except the
supreme duty of rcscuing the State from
the hands of the present incompetent,
office-breedng, justicc-selling, corrupt
gang that is now in control. 1t not
only GENES voice to the better element
of he white people, but also silenees
ana destroys the aspirations of the bet
ter class of the negro population, and
recognizes only that portion Of the me-
groes who are least worthy.
Take the case of the management or
the institution for the deaf, dumb and
blind in the city OF Raleigh, With the
exception of two or three members, most
of whom are hold-overs from the last adj
ministration, the board is composed sole
ly of Jim Young and his automatons.
The men who vote as he cracks the
whip are not fit. some for want OF ca
pacity and some for want of character
for the duties They We're not appointed
in order to serve any public purpose,
but because the Governor wanted men
of the calibre and standing who could
be carried in Jim Young's pocket. The
best men in even the Republican party
will not be dummies for Jim Young,
voting to put incompetent teachers over
the helpless children, defaulters and un.
worthy men in responsible places. and to
increase the expenses of these institn-
jim Young and four white men who
amount to no more than that many
c;phers. and who are driven by jim
Young as farmer drives his sheep. A
leading white Republican said yester-
day: you cannot denounce the direc-
tors of the deaf, dumb and blind insti-
tuition too severely. They are dis
grace even to decency." The respecta-
BILE colored men of Raleigh, who have
an interest in the colored institution, ARE
quite as outspoken, and declare that the
new teachers elected there are notorious
ly incompetent Take the case of the
principal of the colored school. A man
name Patillo, said to be a capable col
ored teacher and man of character and
executive capacity, was candidate, and
would have been elected if Jim Young
and his puppets had not broken quo
rum. The Governor appointed the man
Jim wanted, and negro political preach
or in Raleigh, having no qualification,
was chosen.
We refer to this incident merely to
show that the gang now in charge cares
nothing for fitness. They haven't an
idea of the duty of a public trustee.
And they are not much worse than the
men in charge of the other departments
and institutions. Providing soft places
for. their favorites, increasing expenses.
and giving bad administration are the
only things that characterize their pub
lie service.
Can the intelligence Of the State SUBJ
NIT to such government? 1t is SO fla
gravity corrupt and nauseating that the
negroes Of education are forced, in spite
Of party faith, to cry out against it now.
Men and brethren: Will you divide,
upon even important and vital matters,
and permit these things that disgrace
the State and hurt helpless white and
black children, to continue?
