TILE MONEY ALL SUBSCRIBED.
The Capital Club Building is Now
Certainty.

The Capital Club will soon begin work
on a home of its own. 1t will cost 500
600, and work upon it will begin about
the middle of May. The architect will
be mere to-day to make some changes in
the plans. The building committee will
then advertise for bids from contractors.
The Governing committee held a meet
ing last night and it was announced that
the lot on the corner of Salisbury and
Martin streets had been paid for out of
Club savings, and all the money neces-
sary for the building except 81, 200 has
been subscribed OF this amount the club
members will pay $4,000. For the re
naming $4,000 first mortgage will be
issued
The building which will be located
on what is now known as the Pace prop
erty, opposite the Academy of Music,
will he of pressed brick and brown stone
1t will be one of the handsamest build
ings in the city. The basement and first
floor will be used as bar, restaurant and
offices; the second and third floors will
be devoted to the Club rooms.
The consummation of this long-cherish-
ed desire of the Capital Club means much
for Raleigh.

THE PASSING OF EX-REv. BABB.

In the closing days of the session of the
Legislature the News and Observer,
Charlotte Observer, Wilmington Messen-
ger, Press Visitor and other papers an
nounced that Rev. T. W. Babb had been
Slated for chaplain OF the peniten-
tiary. After he had made his application
but before the appointment had been
made, we published from an old nile OF
the Biblical Recorder the damaging
facts showing that Babb had been repu-
dated by the leading ministers of his
church. Later we published a letter
written by Rev. Jno. E. White, cores
ponding secretary of the Baptist Mission
Board, to Senator Butler, protesting
a gainst recognition of Babb to any place
Of honor or trust, and giving his black
record.
These publications did not please the
x-preacher, and he wrote asking whetne'
he would be given space to reply to the
statement signed by Rev. r. K. OVERLY,
Rev. J. A. Savage, Rev. Il. L. 'ann ana
other Baptist divines. He was offered
the space for that purpose. Instead of
making such reply, the ex-Rev. requests
us to insert a long screed, much OF which
S composed Of a scurrilous attack on Kew.
John f. White. whose character and
landing are 50 we'll established IN North
Carolina that nothing the ex-reverend
could say would affect it in the least. But
these columns shall not be made the
vehicle for traducing an honorable man
whose only fault was desire to protect
the State from such public officers as
Babb. He is rather to be honored for
exposing the real character of the politi-
cal parson. In doing so he has set
good example. 1t is too often true that
good men. from motives Of mawkish
entimentalty, hold their peace until the
State is disgraced by the selection of unfit
men. 1t is far better to speak out as Mr..
White did in this instance.
There is no room to doubt that the
manly protest Of Mr.. White, followed up
by the fuller exposure by the News and
Observer prevented the scandal of Babb's
election as chaplain Of the penitentiary.

WILL ASK REDUCTION OF RATES
The Governor Thinks Telegraph and
Railroad Rates Too High.

1t is understood that Gov. Russell will
at once, in accordance with the recon-
mendations contained in his inaugural
address, urge upon the Railroad Com
mission the necessity of reducing rail
road and telegraph rates,
He will ask them, my informant tells
me, to make the first class fare cents
on all roads in the State whose gross
earnings are 5000 per mile. This
would OBJECT only the Southern, the Raj
eigh and CASTOR and the Petersburg
Railroads. The first class fare ON these
roads is now 3A cents.
The charge for telegram of ten
words, from one point to another in the
State, is now % cents. The Commits
sion will be asked, l hear, to reduce
this to Is cents for all companies having
over 100 miles of line in the State. This
would affect only the Western Union
and Postal companies.
1t is said that two of the Commits
sioners, Mr. Ohio Wilson and DR.. Alb
bOtt, favor this reduction.
The matter is to be brought up at the
next meeting of the Commission.

FIRE IN GREENVILLE.
Serious Confa grafton was Very Mar
rOwly Averted.

Greenvillc, y. c., April 3.-(SpeciaD-
This town had another small fire last
night and SERIOUS one was narrowly
averted. 1t occurred little past IL
o'clock and originated in the confec-
tionary store of Morris Meyer. His
store and entire stock was consumed.
The Dancy building adjoining and occu-
pied by l.. Hooker Il Co, as a bar
room, was also destroyed, though most
of their stock was moved. The large
store of J. Il. Cherry & Co, on the OBJ
posite side of the street sustained some
damage. The fire was no doubt the work
of an incendiary. Three unsuccessful
attempts to burn the same building were
made during the past year. The fire
engine would not work last night and it
is thought the section hose had been
cut. The ropes to the fire alarm bell
had also been tied up to prevent an alarm
being given.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid, exhausted feel

and sluggish and the need of a tonic and
Alternative is felt. A prompt use Of this
medicine has often averted long and per-
haps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine
will act more surely in counteracting ant
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, indigestion, consti-
patton, dizziness yield to Electric Bit
tiers. SOC and $1.00 per bottle at any

TO the Editor:-In your most just and
tasteful notice of that excellent lady,
Mrs. Martha Lewis, you mention the
early death Of Lieutenant Ivey Foreman.
He was a martyr to the Southern cause.
He was an officer in the Confederate
army. He was assigned to a duty in
the place of his captain, who was absent.
Being seized with pneumonia, he refused
to leave his post, Notwithstanding the
agonies of that terrible disease. He con-
tinued steadfast until, completely ex-
hausted, he became insensible, and never
rallied. Having a naturally strong con
stitution he might have recovered, if he
would have consented to seek medical at
tention in season. He was young man
of fine moral and intellectual power, and
Of great promise.

minutes actual running time. This run
was made by Mr.. Heilig with locomotive

splendid performance achieved with one
of their machines the company presented
Mr.. Heilig with a handsome gold watch
and chain, one of the finest that could be
bought
On January 18th Mr.. Heilig performed
