Mr.. Brown Surrenders the < ar
borough Next Monday.
MR.. RANEY TAKES CHARGE
THE HOTEL WILL BE OPENED TO
GUESTS BY THE TENTH.
IMPROVEMENTS TO BIZ MADE
The Property viii be Under the Man
agement OF an experienced
Hotel Man. Says MIR
EauGV.

Unless there is a slip 'twixt the cup
and phe LID Raleigh Will soon have two
first class hotels. The prospects now are
that the Marlborough house Will be open
ed by teoruary luth, at latest.
lnis mucn-deslred consumnatlon Is
made possible by the 1act that air. IL.
Il. brown, VINO holds the lease, yesterday
notified MRS GRIMES, the owner OF the
properly that he would, on the first OF
beDruary, surrender 1T. Ii this is done
the hotel Will be opened at once; If 1t is
not it wall remain closed.
lit is understood that the property Will
pass into the hands OF Alr. R. Is. haney,
who, for so many years, successfully con-
ducted it, lie will not, however, manage
it i'll person, but will turn it over TO
competent anu experienced hotel man
ager.
Mr. Raney yesterday was not prepar-
ed To make public the name of the mansa-
ger, but he said that many improvements
would be made in the hotel and much
new furniture put in, if Mr.. Brown gave
up the lease as he had signihed his inten-
ton of doing
The lease now held by Mr.. Brown does
not expire until November 30, 1851
ten months longer. The hotel
was closed to transient guests, except on
special occasions, last March, but was
kept open until November for regular
boarders 1t was then practically closed
up, all the furniture being taken out.
The office has been kept open all the
while, both night and day, with q regular
clerk in charge.
The rent, which is about $45O per
month"; has been regularly paid by Mr..
Brown on the tenth of each month. As
this is dead loss to him, and he no
longer has any hope of disposlng OF his
lease to any advantage, he has decided to
stop paying the rent and give UP the
lease.
The readers of the News and Observer
will recall that several weeks ago two
offers were made to Mr.. Brown-one of
$500 and one S400-for his lease, by
friends of Mr.. Raney. Both were re-
fused, Mr.. Brown demanding higher
figures. Now he voluntarily surrenders
the lease.
1t will be matter of great qualification
to the people of Releigh and to the trav-
elling public generally to know that this
hotel is to be again opened. Since its
close the hotel accommoda tons of Raj
eigh have been wholly inadequate, and
the situa ton has been great dra W1back
to the city. There is sufficient patronage
here for two good first class hotels.
1t was reported yesterday that Mr..
Raney had also secured an option on the
Park Hotel, and would have control OF
both. running the Park as family hotel
and the Marlborough for transients.
When asked about this Mr.. Raney denied
it most emphatically, and said that there
was no foundation in fact for such a
report.

SATrERFIELD'S REQUEST.
lie Has a Resolution That he VIII Ask
the Legislature to Pass.

Satterfeld, the rioter, and the man who
~.~r-i"to1 of Glowing the Assign
ment law TO be placed on the statute
books by fraud, wants to be vindicated.
He wants it bad. He once had a choice
as to the form in which that balm of
Gilead should come, but he is no longer
particular in that respect.
He came here claiming that the only
,ort of yindication worth a cent ia the
orld would be reelection to the office
hat he had abused-principal clerk of the
touse. He said the Republicans were
patriotic party and would see to it that
he place was given him and all other
.andidates would retire as soon as they
ound out he wanted it. But somehow
neither Satterield's party nor his com
petitors saw it just that way. His party
didn't vote for him and competitor was
elected.
The next step in the rioters progress
toward yindication was to fish around to
find some other Office. He was not en-
courage in his occupation; so now losing
hope of office he comes as a suppliant.
with a long resolution which he will ask
the Legislature to pass.
Unless the temper of the Republicans
is very materially changed from what
it now is they will not do it. The best
thing that could possibly happen to Mr..
Satterield and his vindication is for him
TO go home and keep quiet. He got into
the hole with open eyes and he can blama
no one for not helping him out.

THE COLD WAVE WILL LAST FOR
SEVERAL DAYS.
And 1t VIII Be Cold, Too, With Little
or No Rain, Hail or Snow
While it Lasts.

Cold wave, temperature will fall ID to
30 degrees tonight or Monday with three
days continued colder weather"
The above is the bulletin sent out Sun
day by authority "f the chief Of the
Weather Bureau.
True to the prediction, Sunday after
noon the air began to blow cool from the
northwest. AS night came on the ther-
mometer dropped to % and the air was
icy and the ground frozen. The tempera-
ture rose slightly about noon, only to
drop back early in the afternoon, and be-
gin to climb down the scale again. Mr..
Won Hermann, who is popularity suppos-
ed to manufacture weather for this baili-
wick, yesterday said it would be 10 or
lower by this morning. He thinks the
cold weather will continue several days
1t will probably go on southwark and dc
great damage in Florida.
No rain or snow, however, is prob
able-only cold dry weather. In fact
there is remarkably little precipitation
anywhere in the country in connection
with this cold wave.
"The centre OF the cold wave," said
Mr.. Won Hermann late yesterday after
noon, ''is over Minnesota, with tenn
perature at st. Paul of 26 degrees below
zero. Thence it extends southeast and
east over the Ohio Valley and East Lake
region, with the thermometer IA degrees
below at Detroit and s below at Cincin
natl.
This fall in the temperature is simply
due to the great masses OF cold air com
ing down from the Canadian plateau
caused by low pressure on the eastern
portion Of the United States. Until tht
high pressure is transferred from the
west, where it now is, to the east, there
viii be no change. At this time there i.
no sign of warmer weather and you car
safely advise the farmers to kill then
hogs"
Many people in this city either did mo-
see the bulletin sent out Sunday, or see
ing it did not take warning, and as a re
suit they yestrday had frozen pipes anC
a good fat job for the plumber.

GRIPPE AND PNEUMONIA.
Rev. DR. Marshall and Mr. A. s. Peace

From all parts of the city COME reports
Of sickness. There seems to be an epi-

has seldom been known here. In some
homes every member of the family is in

who are lying at the point OF death. 1t

prevailing viii produce healthier at

DR.. Marshalps condition is unchanged
His mother came down from Pittsboro
yesterday. Special prayer was offered
for him in most of the churches Sunday.
There seems to be no hope, however Of
his recovery.
Mr.. a. s. Peace also continues quite
III. His death is expected at any time.
Mrs. Peace is at his bedside and his ply

A SMALLPOX SCARE.
The Benbow House in Greensboro Closed
up and Quarantined.

Greensboro, N c., Jan. 25.-(SpeciaD =
A special was sent cut from this city
Saturday night that case of smallpox
had been discovered here, but it is the
general belief now that it is only al
aggravated case of chicken pox.
The Benbow Hotel, where the patient
was confined, is still closed, and will
be until the specialist can come from
Baltimore to diagnose the case.
A great deal of excitement was devei-
oped yesterday over the man, but every
thing has subsidized now The patient has
been taken out in the country and iso-
lated.
Greensboro has smallpox scare. The
Benbow House is closed tight as wax,
and every body in it must stay there for
d season.
1t seems that a man named Tucker :
a travelling man-had been sick in the
hotel for several days. Saturday, he
developed symptoms Of what the physi-
clans feared might be smallpox. The
news spread rapidly. Everybody became
alarmed and wild stories went out in all
directions. The sick man was at once
moved to an isolated house three miles in
the country aud the hotel quarantined.
1t was reported here late yesterday
afternoon that new case had been de-
yeloped among the guests Of the hotel,
but this report could not be verified.
Col. Thos. r. Keogh, who left Greens
boro at II o'clock yesterday, was seen
at the Park Hotel last night and asked
about the smallpox scare and the real
facts in the case He said:
"The scare created by the report Of
smallpox at Greensboro, shows how easy
il is to circulate bad news. There IS no
cause for alarm about the matter. Peo-
pie outside of Greensboro interested III
any way in the place. need not worry
about the report" said Col. Keogh.
Last Saturday night, physicians at
tending patient at the Benbow House
concluded to remove him because there
were symptoms Of smallpox. They might
have said measles, or scarlet fever, with
as much confidence, / presume; but to
be on the safe side, they provided for the
worst, and had the patient removed to
place three miles in the country, where
he could be isolated.
"Mr. Tucker, travelling man, is the
patient He has been nowhere that he
knows of, where he could catch smallpox.
The people in Greensboro are not appre-
hensive of any trouble, and merely look
upon the occurrence .as piece OF Ill luck
for the town, as the matter has been talk
ed about and magnified until people
abroad believe that smallpox has seized
the place. 1t will aH blow over in few
days: but it will be q long time before the
truth can catch up Yith the false reports
that took the train= and wire Saturday
night.
~ know Of no new ease among the
guests Of the Benbew."

LETTER FROM FAUQUIER.
Correspondence Alexandria { Gazette

ORLEAN. Va, July l9-The demo-
cratic convention for Marshall district
was held at this place on Saturday the
18th. AT 2:20 p. m. the meeting was
called to order by Mr.. James w. Ker
as. DR.. r. G. Buck was elected chair
man and Mr.. Robert Douthat secretary
Six delegates were elected to 20 to the
Roanoke conventional. Q. Buck and
James Marshall, from Orlean, John H.
Downing, from Fiery Run, Col. Robert
NJ. Striblng, from Markham, G. w.
Davis and JIM. Ramieey, from Marshall
The delegates were empowered to Sc
ect their own alternstes in the event
that any of them should not be able to
attend the convention. The delegates
were unanimously instructed for Tyler
for Governor, but on motion to instruct
for Scott for Attorney General divis
ion was called, twenty-seven voting to
instruct and tweniy against instruc
lions. A short while after the count
bad been made four other delegates ar
rived which, bad they been on time,
would only have given Scott three in
stead OF seven majority.
Our people are heartily tired of ring
rule and bossism, and by mighty ef
fort bad thrown off the yoke of bondage
and servitude, and have at last asserted
their independence by thinking and
acting for themselves. Personally they
have nothing against Major Scott, bu'
they do think There are others" who
ought to have something before the
great day OF judgment shall come, and
the Angel Gabriel shall stand with ore
foot upon the sea and the other upon
the land announcing that time shall be
no longer
Had the voting been done by pre-
cincts instead of district meeting five
of the delegates would have gone to
the convention uninstructed for Scott,
and only one for him and that one from
Markham. Markham came down in
great strength hence the instructions
tor Scott. There were only three E..
Tyson men in the meeting-too few TO
flock by themselves. Mr.. Edward
Ambler declined TO serve as delegate
because of the instructions for Attorney
General
Among tnOSe present anu taxing very
active part in the meeting was MIR.

Kentucky for the past several years.
Mr.. Amber has grown considerably
srayer since he left old Fauq ier but
mas lost none of his vim and energy OF

thorough-going gent 'eman that he used
10 be and still wields wonderful influ
ence with the voters of our county.
