1t Is more than probable that Raleigh
will be without street cars for long time
to come, but the electric light plant will
be put back at once

didn't. The lights and street cars to-
gether did pay expenses, and the com

As ii is, they will get only $4,000 i'm

Of SO much capital In such an enterprise
is q matter of no small Importance to
those who contemplate putting their
money in it. The stockholders, therefore,
are unable just now to say what will
be done in regard to the street cars. 4
meeting will be called in a few days
to discuss the matter.
1T has been suggested that the cars
that escaped the fire be converted into
horse cars for the present. This, how
ever, is said to be impracticable,
the cars being entirely too heavy for
such use.
With the Legislature on the eve of
meeting here the situation is especially
unfortunate. ''No hotel, no street cars,
and the Legislature almost in session.

CHURCH FAIRS.

New Haven Comp Palladium.)
The Rev. e. NJ. Poteat, in his opposi-
ton to fairs at his church, is only a little
ahead Of a general movement in all
churches, tending towards the abolish
ment OF this form OF combined amuse-
ment and money making. There are ar
guments in favor OF church fairs, but we
don't know what they are. However
it must be said, in justice to the church
fair as an institution, that it has been
greatly improved in the last few years,
so that the lottery and the grab-bag are
to be found only in the funny papers.

DEPUTY CLERK MOVE RETIREs

GeOISC IL ANu4OuSki
Deputy Clerk A. w. Moye who has
been in the office of the clerk Of court
here for the past six years, has retired
and is succeeded by, Mr. George L.
Tonnoffski. Mr.. Moye was deputy clerk
under Clerk John w Thompson for four
years and under the present clerk Of
court, d. III. Young, for two years.
Never has there been in the county
better officer-a celverer and more ac-
accommodating man. Faithful, honest,
polite, he has ever been held in the high
est esteem by all who came in contact
with him, irrespective Of party And it
was these qualities that made his SER
vices Indispensable for two years to the
present clerk who is a Republican, while
Mr.. Moye is strong Democrat. More
than once great pressure has been
brought to bear upon Mr.. Young to APP
point a Republican in Mr.. MOye's stead,
but he has until now felt that he could
NOT do so without for a time crippling
the efficiency Of his office.

except for a grave-digger's spade and
a collection of old whisky bottles. The
body of Martin Hogan is not visible,
nor any part of it's remains. Instead,
they occupy a very humble grave In
another part of the old cemetery. Mar.
tir Hogan was the first instructor OF
the Catholic children of Auburn, long
before the parochial schools were IN
troduced. He was prominent in his
church and in his profession, and as he
grew old the desire for a magnificent
and splendid tomb became his great
passion. The last years Of his life were
spent in preparations for this end. He
visited the marble dealers in the large
cities, but could find nothing to suit
his purpose, so he constructed a shaft
of masonry, covered with sheet iron
end finished in white. Heavy marble
slabs YER set in each side, and one of
them opened into a compartment large
enough to receive the massive oaken
box which Hogan had PLACID in readt-
ness for his casket. His name was in
scribed OF every side of the tomb, and
that opening into his compartment
bore the legend quoted at the begin;
ming. Martin took great pride in his
arrangements, planting rose trees and
Towering bushes all about the NOM
ment. He spent hours at the place,
and his mind was satisfied with the
contemplation of his last resting place.
When the old school master died the
parish made a vigorous protest against
placing his body in the tomb, because
1t was above ground, and, to the great
disappointment of his family, his re-
mains wn~n h"-'~1 "ndar civ foot nj
earth in another part of the graveyard,
n the old tomb, with its moulder-
Ing coffin and pathetically ironical In

years ago, serving only as a tool house
