ner in which the Lincoln Auditorium
has been conducted. AS defined in the
Lincoln Star the dissatisfaction there
rests on these grounds
When the Auditorium was built the pur-
pose was said to be the drawing OF con-
ventions to the city. 1t is said that this
plan has not been carried out. When the
poultry association wanted it this year It
was unable to get It because a skating
rink manager had leased 1t. The old SOL
diers were not able to get the use of the
building when they wanted to hold meet
ing here, although they contributed 500
toward it's erection. These are some OF
the contentious of those who favor a new
policy.
To steer clear of such pitfalls the
management of any auditorium or other
building similarly erected by popular
subscription must remember constantly
that it has a public rather than pri-
vate purpose to subserve and keep the
public interest paramount.

five OF his thirty-hve years. Caste is
known along the Jersey coast as a dare

His little fishing schooner, the Alberta, is

Two crews from government life saving
stations on Brigantlne beach had attempted
the rescue in vain and were prisoners on
the steamship for nearly forty-eight hours.
1t is said that third, whose station was
at Absecon, was restrained from venturing
out on Sunday by signals which assured
them that the time had not yet arrived
for doing so with any hope of success. At
that juncture the captain of a fishing
schooner, appalled, rather by the peril in
which more than sixty Of his fellow NOR
tails were placed than by the risk to HIM
self and his six sailors, undertook the task
and performed it triumphantly.

Especial to The Messenger


Raleigh, N. c., October 1S.-Nordica
made her first appearance here tonight
in the spacious and admirable audi
torium of the state school for the
blind. She made a striking impress
sion and was literally encOred and
was generous in her responses.

Carolina Agricultural society, which
holds the state fair, E. L. Daught-
ridge, of Edgecombe, was by acclama-
ton and a rising vote reelected pres
ident, Joseph E. Pogue, secretary;

venerable John M. Grenshaw, OF
Wake Forest, was paid the special
compliment of election as vice presi-
dent at large for life. He has at
tended all the fairs since the first one
held in 1852.
President Daughtridge and Secre-
tary Pogue said the financial success
of this years fair was immensely graf
flying and that the rain can't keep
people from attending. They said all
indecent shows and gambling had been
strictly cut out and that this gave
great satisfaction. The debt is re-
duced from $4,000 to $4,000 and re-
funded at per cent. This years
improvements cost $4,000. Compli-
ments were paid the exhibits made by
New Hanover, Edgecombe and Wake

superior to those at Richmond and
Columbia. The next fair will be the
fiftieth and the executive committee
is directed to arrange for fittingly
celebrating this semi-centennial by a,
fair lasting ten days Or two weeks.
An effort will be made to secure
meeting of the Farmers National

Especial to The Messenger.)


GoldsborO, n c., October 1S.-The
Junior Order of United American Me-
chanics held an interesting session
last night and gave spread to members
only. The feature of the session was
the speech of E. w Hill, who enter
tained the order at some length with
his elOquence. The Junior Order in
Goldsboro has more members than
any other secret society and is always
progressive. The order has started out
with the intention of building a tenn
pie in Goldsboro and they will no doubt
succeed
The campaign in Wayne county is
growing war1ner every day. The dem
ocrats have at last found out that they
stand some slight chance of losing and
they have gone to work in earnest.
The republican and democratic candi
dates for the legislative and county
Offices are making joint canvass and
there has been very little unpleasant
ness so far. 1t is conceded on all sides
that the republicans viii lmake heavy
gains, but whether or not they will elect
any of their ticket remains to be seen.
The people are not attending the
speakings in large crowds. The farm
ers are too busy with their crops and
with cotton selling at II cents pound
they are not inter ested in politics
much anyway.
There are a large number of people
in Goldsboro who are interested in the
union passenger depot question that are
anxiously awaiting the decision Of the
supreme court On that question. The
case came up some weeks ago and was
argued before the supreme court but
up to the present there has been no de-
cision. The people who opposed the
site selected by the railroads first ap-
pealed to the corporation commission.
Then they appealed to the superior
court of Wayne county. In each case
the decision was against them. Now
their fate rests with the supreme
court. Upon their decision rests the
important question whether or not
Goldsboro shall have the union passen
ger depot to which it is entitled by
reason Of its Importance as railroad
center

OF the Transactions.
New York, October 1S.-The most
startling development in the present
political campaign in this state came
today when Charles F. Murphy, leader
of Tammany Hall, publicly charged
that money had been demanded BY
the representatives of the indepen-
dence league in consideration of the
withdrawal of their candidates in GER
tain districts, and the Subsequent
serving of Mr.. Murphy with a sub
poena to appear before the grand jury
in John Doe" proceedings anu :esui-
fy as to his charges. The subpoena
was issued by District Attorney
Jerome after a conference with Judge
Otta A. Rosalsky, of the court of gen.
era1 sessions, who Mr.. Murphy init
mated had given up money for the
endorsement Of the league
In his statement Mr. Murphy charg-
ed that certain independence league
managers had demanded money for
the withdrawal of their candidates in
congressional, senatorial and assem-
bly, districts where a third ticket had
been put in the field. He added
however, that William r. Hearst, the
independence league and democratic
candidate for governor knew absolute
ly nothing of what was going on in
this connection.
The independence league headquar-
tiers here tonight made a positive de-
nial of Mr.. Murphy's charges, adding
that if anyone connected with the or
ganization had attempted to "hold up"
candidates they would be glad to
know it.
Max F. Ihmsen, who has charge of
the independence league headquarters,
gave out a formal statement denying
Mr.. Murphy's charges The statement
says:
"The managers of the independence
league at the Gilsey House so-called.
are not holding up candidates for
cash. if any one, even remotely con-
nected with the league, attemptd such
a thing W should be glad to know the
facts.

league he's, as yet, contributed one
cent to the leagues campaign fund
The independence league, which was
promoted by W. r. Hearst, held it's
state convention at Carnegie hall in
this city September 18th and named
a full state ticket, with Mr. Hearst and
Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler heading it
as governor and lieutenant governor,
respectively. Subsequently the league
named a complete judicial ticket for
tho fret i1Idicia1 district which COM
prises New York city and county. At
Buffalo on September 26th the demo-
cratic state convention nominated
Mr. Hearst and Mr.. Chanler for gov
ernor and lieutenant governor respect
lively. and endorsed John H. Whalen
for secretary of state, who had also
been named by the independence con-
vention.
Mr.. Hearst's campaign throughout
the state has been made under the
joint management Of the democratic
and the independence league state
committees.
