INSURANCE LOSS ADJUSTED.
ArhitratOrs for the Firm and tho
Companies Make Appraisal and
Award Damages at S6,34o.

The board of arbitrators appointed
by Messrs. Boylan, Pearce q Co., and
adjust their recent losses by fire with
the insurance companies to adjust
their recent losses by fire yesterday,
came to a conclusion which was at
once accepted by both the firm and
the companies Interested, by which
tile loss IS assessed at thirteen and a
half per cent. of the stock. AS the in
surance carried by the firm amounted
TO $4,000, it will be seen that the
sum to be paid by the companies is
in the neighborhood of $500. This
sum will, of course, be prorated among
the various companies with which the
firm had policies of insurance in pro-
portion to the amounts specified in
each particular policy.
The companies interested in the loss
were: Liverpool and London and
Globe, $1,000 Caledonia and Queen,
$4,000 each; Teutonia, North Carolina
Home, Petersburg Savings and In
surance Company and Continental,
$4,000 each Royal Virginia State,
Home of New York, Commercial I'm
ion and Law, Union and Crown, 81, 900
each; Sun of New Orleans, German
American and Union Assurance, 81, 500
each; Indemnity and Glenn Falls.
$3.50 EACH Lafayette, Manchester
and North bE1llSIl, 9l,UUO edcn.
The prompt settlement of the con-
fict in claims was made after a thor
ough inspection and appraisal of the
damaged stock by Messrs. Elias.
Thacker and Gulley and the cheerful
acouiescence of the parties at inter
est is both a compliment to the gen
tlemen who conducted the arbitration
and creditable to the fairness and lack
of contentious spirit on the part of
the insurance companies and the
firm which suffered the loss.
Messrs. Boylan and Pearce were
nusiIv engaged yesterday with full
corps of clerks in renovating the store
and arranging for the holding of big
fire sale which starts this week, ana
hich will attract the feminine sex
with the force of a magnet for ter
penny nail. Indeed. the store was the
object yesterday of many solicitous
maids and matronS who were early
biding for bargains.

Exercises to Follow Open
ing of A. & Ms. Great
Summer School.

The Summer School of the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College will con-
vene for its second annual session to-
morrow afternoon at half-past five
o'clock, with appropriate exercises in
Pullen Hall on the college grounds.
The order of exercises will be as fol-
lows:
l. Invocation.
|. Address of Welcobe by President
George T. Winston.
III. Reading of the Programme of
Daily Lectures and Other Announce
ments.
The public is invited.
The Summer School, which was last
year SO great a success and which, 1T
has already been demonstrated, Will
this year far exceed the fine record it
has already made, is practically the
child of DR.. Geo. II. Winston, the pres
ident of the A. & M. College, to whom
too great praise for his achievement
cannot be given. He has labored in
cessantly for the schools success, and
now has the qualification of seeing
full realization of his plans.
No accurate statement of the num-
Der of students who will be enrolled
can be given at this meeting, but 1t is
known that they will closely approx
mate tnOuSand--a matter lndI Is
cause for congratulation to Raleigh
and the State, as we'll as to those par
ticularly interested in educational af-
fairs.
Apart from the material advantages
that the city will reaf from the pres
ence of so large a number of the most
desirable class of transient citizens,
there will be the added advantage of
special courses of instruction under
the ablest teachers, which will be Of
fered to residents of Raleigh at
nominal naturalization fee. 1t is un-
derstood that there will be large
number of Raleigh people who will
avail themselves of this opportunity.
The college authorities have been
pressed for room to house the teach
ers who are coming, but arrangements
have now been made in the college
buildings and nearby boarding houses,
for all who wish accommodations.

The GLORIOUS Fourth!

L
1t will be celebrated in Raleigh to-

of yore-with games and athletic con-
tests and smoke and noise by day
with a public meeting of general at
tendance, with eloquent speeches from
the most gifted and prominent of pub

rockets will shed their drops OF gold
and colored light against the back
ground of the sky, and patriotic en-
blems will blaze forth the message of
freedom and of "a united country SO
that the wandering crowds may see
and feel the stir of the loyal breast.
1t will be a great and spectacular
day. The committee which has had
the program in charge has labored
with a care and foresight that will be
certain in it's results. The money ne

complete. The crowds that will be
here will be we'll managed and we'd

will be simply a happy, decent, hol-
iday-hunting crowd from the outlying
country and the nearby towns, as well
as the people of Raleigh EN- masse.
If nothing in addition were to be
offered, the addresses by Governor Ay-
cock. Chief Justice Clark and DR.. Geo

for notable gathering. Three men,
more eloquent, more brainy, with
more of the sparkle of wit could not
