The above table will be interesting
and instructive in comparison with
yesterdays vote. From it will be
noted the following facts:
/. That hardly half the vote of the
city was polled yesterday, as the num-
Der of voters has considerably increas-
ed since 1898.
2. That the lightest vote cast was in
the First and Second wards. where
there are very few negroes-the vote
in the First ward being especially
light.
g. That the heaviest voting was in
the two negro Wards-the Third and
Fourth; the Third coming nearest of
any of the wards TO getting out its
full vote. ~
tfTwo causes were generally assigned
for the result of the days election:
First. that there was a lack of def
niteness in the plan submitted to the
people TO vote on, coupled with a
want of confidence in the majority
element of the present board of alder
men.
Second as is usual in such elections
those who opposed the proposition
were very active, many OF them be-
lieving that they would be personally
damaged by the change, while those
who favored the proposition simply
contented themselves with voting.
there being in their case an absence
of a feeling of personal hurt or bene-
fit.
Alderman John c. Drewry. who pro-
posed the plan for selling the market
was asked to what he contributed the
defeat of his proposition.
ITO a misunderstanding on the part
of the voters he replied. There has
been misrepresentation and mystitica-
ton for the purpose of confusing the
public mind about the whole matter.
Some have been told that it is the in
tention Of the board to increase taxes,
others that there is a deal on hand by
which some of us are to make thou
sands. and so on
What effect do you think the re-
suit of the day will have on the propo-
sition to build an auditorium?'
The death of if, | fear: though /
certainly hope not. I'm ready now as
always to do whatever | can to get
an auditorium building. I'm simply
waiting to see what those who have
defeated this proposition have to offer
in place of it.

EUGENE PENNY GONE AGAIN.
He Found the Ice Around His Wife's Home Too
Thick For Comfort

People who live in the southern part
Of the county bring the news that Eugene
Penny has left home again.
Penny, it will be recalled, is the fell
low who just before Christmas left his
wife and children and ran away with
Miss Chamblee, a young woman who was
teaching school and boarding at his
house. They came back some two weeks
ago, and now Penny complains, so the
story goes, that the reception he has met
at home and in the community, on his
return, is very cold. Too cold in fact,
to be endured and for this reason he has
yamOosed again.
No doubt Mr.. Penny is right. The
circumstances Of his departure were such
as would ordinarily have guaranteed a
pretty warm time on his return. But Mrs.
Penny and her friends seem to be no
ordinary people and folks do say Penny
has found ice around there thick enough
to cut ever since he returned from his
trip with Miss Chamblee.
What could a poor, prosecuted man do
under such circumstances, but go away
again?

A BLACK RAIN" THURSDAY
And Nobody Has Yet Been Able to Find an Elk
PLANTATION Of 1t.

A ''blacll rain fell in this county
last Thursday morning.
At least that's what folks are call
ing it for want of better name
'black rain
And nobody has as yet been able to
explain the phenomenon, for no one
has been found who ever before saw or
heard of such a thing.
The rain fell early Thursday morn
ing in a belt extending, SO far as is
now known from Louisburg, in Frank
lin county, westward by way of Wake
Forest to MOrrisville, in this county.
1t came from a cloud of such in
tense blackness that just before and
during the rain. at Morrisville, lamps
had to be lighted. The water that fell
looked like rain water mixed with
SCOT.
Nobody has been able TO offer any
explanation for the phenomenon.

HOW MCKINLEY AIDED SALISBURY.
Now Impossible For France and Russia to In
tervene For Peace.

A cablegram from London to the New
York Sun says:
The true significance OF Presldeht NC
Kinley's suggestion OF intervention in
South Africa seems to have been missed
on both sides of the Atlantic.
A prominent French diplomat said on
the day that the dispatches were publish
ed;
Liberty loving America could not have
done less and we honor her for IT. But |
must say | regret deeply that PRESIDENT
Mckinley failed to consult the dual ALL
ance before sending the note france
and Russia would have been glad TO SUP
port his effort in behalf of peace.
The Washington Government has done
Great Britain the greatest possible SER
vice in sending the dispatch in precisely
the form it was sent. Secretary Hay
misuse of the word intervention, if 1t
was misuse, enabled Premier Salisbury to
declare in explicit terms that Great Brit
ain would not permit the intervention of
any power; in fact, it is no longer posi-
BILE for any country to intervene under the
pretensiOns of friendship or the love OF
peace. Interference can now only come
in the guise of a threat against Great
Britain.
For this complete clearance OF the
situation Lord Salisbury is indebted to
the American Government, and instead OF
resenting Secretary Hays dispatch there
is no possible doubt that he is sincerely
thankful to it's author. 1t is even limited
that there was quiet previous under
standing of the whole matter, but this is
not positively asserted, for it would, OF
course, call out an Official denial.

Only About Half the Total Vote of the
City Was Polled.
A VERY QUIET AND ORDERLY ELECTION
And Now the Question Comes Back to the
Original Proposition With Which We
Started Out Some Two Months
Ago. What Are we Going
To Do About An
Auditorium

The voters of Raleigh say they dc
not want an auditorium if it is neces-
sary to sell the old market house to
get it.
For every two men that voted for
this proposition three voted against it
Or, to be exact, 632 voted for sale
and 900 voted against sale'-making
a total vote cast of 1892.
The election passed off very quietly
except in the Third ward, where
feeling ran high and the strongest
competition between sellers" and
''anti-sellers" prevailed In this ward
the only fight of the day occurred and
votes were openly bought and sold.
In the other three wards the voting
was quiet and orderly, though in the
Fourth there were quite number of
negroes around the polls all day.
The voting early in the morning,
owing to the inclemency of the wealth
er. was light. BY 10 o'clock only IS
ballots had been cast in the First
ward, % in the Second, So in the
Third and - in the Fourth. So far
there were about . votes against" to

From this time till about noon the
