FEMALE TRAMP IN TROUBLE.
Arrested for Vagrancy. the Mayor Will
this Morning Try Her.

May Lucas, the female tramp who was
here last Saturday-and seems to have
been here ever since-was, early last
night, arrested near the BOylan bridge
for yagrancy. 1t is said that she has
been in that vicinity ever since her ar
rival here
When arrested she resisted the officers
and did her best to keep from going to
the station house. 1t took two policemen
to bring her, and even then they had to
drag her some distance
When she reached the station house
she gave her name as Mary Lucas and
her home as Greenville, s. C. She says
she has a husband in the penitentiary
and came here TO get him out. But
instead, it seems that she has about got
in-Or rather on the roads At least she
will. no doubt. get there to-day when
the Mayors court opens.
She is as dirty and ragged as one can
well imagine and presents most repul-
sive appearance.

MR.. BRUNER TO BE RETAINED

The Board of Agriculture yesterday
did the wisest thing thus far in it's short
career in deciding to request Secretary
Bruner to temporarily remain and aid
in the work of the department.; and
the handsomest thing it has yet done
was his election as an honorary director
of the museum. In his retirement from
this work the department, and thereby
the State, will lose greatly. Speaking of
this the Charlotte Observer says: "Tn
the change of government from one poll
tical party to another, the State suffers
in few of its parts more severely than in
the retirement of Mr.. Thomas X. Bruner
from the secretaryship of Agriculture.
To Mr.. Bruner more than to any one
else is due the efficiency to which that
department of the government has at
tanned. He had peculiar aptitude for the
work, and by his long experience in it
has qualified himself for it in the highest
degree. The State owes him it's graf
itude for his services, and will remem-
Der him kindly ON account of them"

prising meat merchant and market gard
ener. 1t is a ponderous receptacle of
handsome architecture, with half dozen
apartments for fresh meats and vegeta-

method of cold storage enables Mr.. How
ell to keep his products dry and cool, and
prepares him for meeting any demand
of the trade. He has likewise added fresh
Chicago beef as a new feature Of his
business.

THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
Waking Things Slowly and Voting Them
Y selves So Day for Board.

The Board of Agriculture is dra wing
"a a day and expenses and taking things
slowly. But why should they hurry I?
The weather is hot there is plenty of
time and they are making more here
serving their dear country than they
possibly could at home working for
themselves.
So they meet at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing when it is cool, quit at dinner time
and spend the afternoon sitting around
the hotels or visiting places of interest.
The Board met yesterday morning at
lO O'Clock and spent most of the two
hours they were in session transacting
routine business.
After the reading of the minutes of
the meeting Tuesday Mr.. J. @. L. Har-
rls, chairman of the executive commit
tee, presented his report The adoption
of 1t was postponed until to-day.
! The bid of the White Rickle Furni-
ture Company for furnishing the new
annex of the Agricultural building was
accepted.
The designs furnished by both the
White-Rickle Company and the Globe
Company at High Point were of the
very best character and it is a matter of
great pride and congratulation that North
Carolina has factories that can make
such furniture.
On motion of Mr.. III. +. King the rate
for board to be allowed members in
their expense account while attending
meetings was fixed at So a day.
The following resolution by Mr.. King
was unanimously adopted: Resolved
that the Commissioner is hereby author.
lied to retain the late secretary, Mr.. r.
X. Bruner, for a term of thirty days
commencing from June 14th, 1897, to as
sist in the department at such salary as
he may deem just and proper for the two
weeks"
On motion of Mr.. Graham Mr. Brnnel
was elected an honorary director of the
Museum. He serves in this capacity
without pay.
The report of the Finance committee
was made by Mr.. King. The board made
the current appropriation to close the
fiscal year ending November 80, 1897
amounting to $16,14S.
A resolution touching the demand OF
Messrs. Gilmer, McLelland, and Aiken
was introduced by Mr. Harris and a.
dOpted by the board. 1t declines the de.
mand of these gentlemen to be recogniz
ed as members of the board, that body
being advised that they are not mem
bers thereof and have no legal right tc
make the demand which they have pre-
sented"
The board then adjourned to meet a.
gain this morning at 10 o'clock.

GRAFTON to the claims or tnat gentleman.
United States Assistant Attorney Cen
eral BOYD. who has just returned from
North Carolina, speaks very highly OF
Mr.. Whedbee and says that he is de-
serving of recognition. In view of the
fact that General Jno. B. Gordon has
declined to stand for reelection as Com
mander in Chief of the United Confed-
crate Veterans. the friends of General
Joseph Wheeler, of Alabama, the famous
cavalry leader of the COnfederacy are
pressing him to succeed the existing
commander in chief. General Wheeler
is perhaps the most distinguished ex-Con-
federate soldier now living and his
friends believe he will be chosen to sue
coed General Gordon. The United Con-
federate Veterans will hold their annual
reunion in Nashville ON the 22nd, 23rd
and Oath of this month. Thus far Cen
eral Wheeler is the most prominent
name mentioned in this connection.
