As a Result of the Distinct Success of
the Recital Friday Evening.
Many delightful musical recitals have
been held in the parlors at st. Mary's,
but the one given Friday evening, No
yember 10Th, was of distinct individual
ity and charm. This recital was given
by the teachers of the musical depart
ment, and gave evidence of superior tech
nique and artistic finish. Every piece on
the we'll selected programme which was
of the highest grade of music, was most
skiifully interpreted, and was highly ap-
preciated by an interested and sympa-
thetic audience. BY the request of some
OF Raleigh's most prominent music low
ers it has been decided to make this re-
cital the beginning of series of con-
eerts to be given during the winter. The
Raleigh Musical Association attended in
body. The programme was as follows:

Stanley's failure to secure the carriers

The son of Mike Dryer, aged four
years, met with sad accident Saturday
afternoon at o'clock. The boy, in
company with some other small boys,
were playing or strolliDg in the vicinity
of the stock yards, while the men were
unloading cattle. E. V. Lantz, who was
in that vicinity. hearing the cries of the
boy was attracted to him, and found the
boy crying aud bleeding. w. E. Hood,
who was also present, took the boy home
in his buggy, and on examination it was
found that the boys left arm was crushed
near the shoulder, and was hanging to-
gether by the flesh. The supposition is
that the boy attempted to cross the track
and the wheels Of a moving train passed
over the arm. DR.. McCarty amputated
the fractured limb, and the boy is doing
well. Mr.. Dwyer, the father of the boy,
is an engineer on the Santa Fe road.
Mrs. Dryer is very sick, and the family
affection is bearing heavily upon Thin.
The mother of Mrs. Dwyer arrived Mon
