A LIVE TOWN.
1t Is Growing and Will Soon Be One of
The Foremost in the State.

Washington, a. c., Jan. 25.--(Special) }
Wa shington, y. c., opens its race
course to the owners of fine horses on the
3rd, 4th, and 5tlt of February.
The railroads will give half rates, and
already enquiries are coming in from all
sections in regard to the races. A big
| time is anticipated. 1t will be a good
opportunity to visit this little town-not
so little either, although it is often de
s:gnated as Little Washington" to dis
| tinguish it from washington, d. G..
Washington has grown wonderfully in
| the past FIVE years. and it is claimed now
| to have between SIX and seven thousand
| inha abitants, and :cleverer people don't
exist They are OFF the old stock, full Of
| hospitality. If / we're to speak Of its
young ladies | would say they are the
prettiest and brightest to be found. In
| writing Of Washington / am aware that
| it is an almost unknown town to the ma
jority of the people; of North Carolina
| Until only q few years ago it was cut off
from the outer world except by water
communication, but .the Atlantic Coast
Line now has a road from Rocky Mount
direct to this place. 1t is one Of the
greatest fish and oyster markets in the
State, but to this industry is now added
tobacco. Last year through the energy
of DIR. S. r. Nicholson the first tobacco
warehouse was built: and its success has
far exceeded all expectations, and to the
business it will be necessary to add anoth-
er warehouse of larger dimensions-be-
ing a new business farmers hesitated and
planted sparingly, bHt their success has
given encouragement to themselves and
their neighbors, and Ehe next years crop
will be three or four times that of this
year.
There are lots of good, sterling, wide
awake men here. but the Mayor, Dr. ).
IT. Nicholson, is full to the brim, and his
love of the old town inspires him to
greater deeds. He is generally the
pioneer of the new industries and under
takings, and the first fair at Washington
is due to him. He is ever active and
earnest in all he does, and his name will
give to this fair. as it has to all his un-
dertakings perfect success. This is but
the beginning, but it is intended to have
Them every year. and Newbern Will have
a worthy competitor. 1t may look to its
laurels for Washington is coming. The
Atlantic Coast Line is surveying or has
surveyed a line from Newbern to this
place. and the Dismal Swamp Canal is
now being deepened 10 feet, so there is
a brighter day in store for Eastern Caro-
lima. It is the garden spot OF North Caro-
lima, and the day is coming when the
tide will turn this way. Mark what
say!

Durrant's Last Hope Conc

y NoAO
Washington November S-The United
States supreme court today affirmed
the decision of the circuit court for the
California circuit refusing a writ of
habeas corpus to w. H T. Durrant,
under sentence of death for the murder
OF Miss Blanche Lamont in San Fran
CISCO, in April 1895. Today's decision
permits the law to AXE it's course with
the condemned man.
San Francisco, November 8.-The
news that the United States supreme
court had decided not to interfere with
the execution Of Durrant spread quick
1y over the city today and crowds of
interested people read the announce
ment eagerly from the newspaper bull
letin boards. The decision of the su-
preme court a. not unexpected here
and apparently only Durrant and his
attorneys seemed to a " any hope
thai the murderer would be saved from
the gallows.
The decision of the supreme court has
paved the way for the Of five
other murderers who nave been SEN
fenced to death but whose executions
have been deferred pending the deci-
sion of the Durrant case.
Durrant's parents were notified this
morning of the court decision and
were deeply affected. Mrs. Durrant
wept, but said her son was innocent
and that she did not give up hope that
he would be v~indicated' and his limo.

London. November 9.-In spite OF a
thick drizzle and a heavy fog, the ancient
custom Of presenting the elected chief
magistrate Of London. Horatio David Da-
vies, to the representatives of the sover-
eign and to the people was observed to-
day with success. The usual throng of
people lined the route and the decorations
were more ambitious than usual. In
spite Of the weather. a more stirring
proof Of the popularity of London's
yearly pageant, known as the Lord May
or's procession, has not been given in a
long time. When the procession reached
the law courts the lord mayor in his full
civil robes, preceded by the recorder. Sir
Forest Fulton, and attended by the re-
firing lord mayor, the sherifs, chaplain
and aldermen in their sable trimmed
gowns. together with other civic func-
~tionaries, proceeded to the court room Of
the lord chief justice, where they were
let robes. full bottomed wigs and cooked
hats. There the usual solemn courtesies
were exchanged, the lord mayor, in ex-
ercise Of an immemorial right, remaining
covered while the recorder read an eu-
logistic review Of the new lord mayors
career. 1t was in the annual Sunday
school style referring to his blamless
youth. successful commercial career and
well spent life crowned by the attain
ment Of the highest civic honors.
From this court, after the retiring lord
mayor had been formally presented to
the judges by Sir Forest Fulton. the pro-
cession went to the court Of appeal and
was received by the master of the rolls
and the appeal justices attired in their
striking robes OF black and gold. The
ceremonies here were merely formal.
The dignitaries then returned to their
coaches and resumed the march to the
city.
The brilliancy Of the gathering at the
lord mayors banquet at the Guild hall
MS evening was somewhat marred by
the tokens Of mourning for the late
Duchess Of Teck. A majority of the
ladies present wore gowns Of black or
dark gray. The entrance of the MARQUIS
or Salisbury, prime minister, and Arthur
]. Balfour. first lord Of the treasury. was
the signal for loud applause, but the re-
ception rendered to the foreign diplomats
was OF the tamest character, as mpar
with the enthusiasm which last year
greeted the then ambassador OF the
United States, Thomas F. Bayard.

Agitation In Favor of Weyler

Madrid, November S~.-Lieutenant Gen.
eral Wayler's political hackers. support
ed by his influential following in the
army, are %fomenting an agitation on his
behalf against the government policy and
are preparing to give him a reception on
his arrival which will. if they can bring
it about, neutralize the critical attitude
of the Sagasta cabinet.
Senior Romeo Robeldo, who is leading
the agitation, addressed a large meeting
of the conservatives today at which sew
eral senators and deputies were present
and made a violent attack upon the
governing committee Of the conservative
party, whom ne charged with being re-
sponsible for the dissolution of the party.
He %eulogized General Weyler as a mill
tary commander and a civil administra-
tor, and urged that war is the only true
policy in Cuba"
Senior Robeldo will go to Corunna to
meet General Weyler IN the arrival Of
the Montserral. Meanwhile he is organ
izing a series of public meetings to pro-
test against the recall of Weyler, the
first Of which will be held tomorrow and
he proposes a reorganization Of the con-
sentative party upon the basis of the
programme Of the late Senior Canovas as
to Cuba and the Philippines.
