WHY HE DIDN'T COME
HAS BEEN CHEATED BY THE
SMALL P0X.
Kept hlleman From marrying in the, State
House Says He Mas Passes to
Washington. s sIzssH.ass

Raleigh has missed one of the greatest
sensations Of it's life and the smallpox
is all to blame.
The Hon. Ambrose +. Hilepan,
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, himself hath said it.
Had he not feared this dread disease,
now raging in the South, this rural
statesman would yesterday have come
to this city with his lugubrious smile and
a Carbarrus belle, and would have
married her in the State Capitol.
But alas the fates and smallpox were
against us. The Hon. Ambrose was
in Concord Wednesday to get license to
wed Miss Aida J. Foil, of Cabarrus
county. While there he talked in that
lo0ny fashion so common among lovers,
to the reporter of the Concord journal,
and here is what he said:
Il am to be married to Miss Foil in
Mt. Gilead Reformed church, at
o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Rev. Bar
ringer, assisted by Rev. ]. J. Harley,
will perform the ceremony. Everybody
is invited
Why I'D you abandon your Raleigh
trip? asked the reporter.
On account of smallpox being ia the
South" he replied. Il did not want to
be riding in the cars from Atlanta and
South Carolina. ! had intended going to
Raleigh and having my marriage solem-
nized in the House of Representatives
wing of the State Capitol, and would
have carried out my intention but for
the reason given. The President of
the Southern Railroad Company pre-
sented me with complimentary passes
for myself and bride, over their line
to Washington, via Raleigh. presume
the officials will extend the passes, and,
if so. hope to go to New York and other
Northern points sometime in this month,
and will return via Norfolk
"And while the reporter was catching
the last word, the rural statesman, the
Speaker of the House of Representatives
of the Greater State Of North Carolina,
moved swiftly and stupendously down
the yellow walk which leads from the
Temple of Justice out into the busy
street, where men forget their troubles
and joys in plunging with the madding
stream of restless, labor-tossed hui
manity.

POLK MILLER COMING.
Some Facts About the Great Southland
and His Companions.

Polk Miller, the famous humorist and
negro dialectician, will appear at the
Metropolitan Opera House, Wednesday
evening, January 18th.
Miss Ester Wallace, who assists Polk
Miller and Oscar p. Sisson this, is a lit
tie Quakeress, and Mr.. Sisson's neice.
She has a splendid messo-soprano voice,
and is as dainty and pretty on the stage
as Dresden DOLL When not on the
stage she uses "thee" and "thou," as is
usual with Quakers, and says it is often
the case on the stage that it is with great
difficulty she keeps from using this
form of speech. Miss Wallace wears a
dress, in the sketch with Mr.. Sisson's
Cousin Bila's visit from the Country
that is made over from dress worn by
her great-grandmother, and she pres
ents picture that is as pretty as the
dress is quaint.
Polk Miller, Oscar Sisson and Miss
Wallace appear together in a character
sketch in which Mr.. Miller plays the
part, true to life, of "Uncle Daniel"
and sings songs, tells stories andkpicks
de "banjar" in real old fashioned style.

One of Sheriff Jones' admiring con-

POMONA REPUBLICANS
Some Results Of the Caucuses Held on
Thursday Night

POMONA, Sept. 9.-There was an unusual
| interest taken In the Republican caucusses
here last night, and the largest vote in the
history of this city was cast throughout all
the precincts. Following are some Of the
main results: Woodward, for supervisor
will have the Lordsburg and Spadra dele
cation, and league that of Claremont and
about nineteen out Of the thirty from this
| city. The Barnes men claim to have ma
jority In the township over Struggled for
county recorder. U. E. Whites friends
claim a safe majority for justice in the
township, although Goodwin supporters say
they have a majority Of one in the city
proper, but this is denied by the opposition.
The P. ]. Dreher ticket was beaten in the
Second, s. M. Haskell leading the winning
ticket in that precinct. Frank Raynes
was defeated in the fifth, owing to the over
confidence of his friends. 1t is claimed the
Prohibition element made strong canvass
against him, he being high license men,
Der of the board Of city trustees. There is
some talk about fighting some of the eau
Gus tickets at the primaries, but the gen.
eral sentiment is undoubtedly in favor OF
standing by the nominations.
The board of trustees met in special ses.
sion tnlS morning anu pabSeO SUBSTANTIALLY
the following resolution: That the city at
torney be instructed to notify the Southern
Pacific company that II the nuisance Is not
abated on White avenue (viz: the right-of-
way track upon which the franchise has ex-
piredD within ten days. legal proceedings
will be begun to compel 1t to do so, and that
before any proceedings are commenced the
city be Unidentified by bond Of $500, to be
approved by the board. This resolution
was unanimously carried. Mr.. Tonner
agreed to furnish the bond. The city at
torney stated to the board that he knew Of
several ways Of legally removing the track.
and only awaited the instructions Of the
board. He eaid he did not deem 1t advisable
to show his hand" at this juncture. as the
Southern Pacific company had able counsel
|ready to take advantage Of every move.
Mr.. Fleming. in his written opinion, claims
that the track on the defunct right-of-way
can be constituted q nuisance within the
meaning and intent Of Ordinance NO. 161,
and that the trustees are empowered to re-
move such Instructions. There Is one item
evidently being overlooked in this contro-
versy, namely, that the Southern Pacific
has mail route between Pomona and CO.
vina, and the removing OF any track will
seriously interfere with the United States
mails, which is rather dangerous UNDER
taking.
