WILL VACftTETO-DUY
The Occupants of the Battle
Building.
WORK BEGINS MONDAY
THE PLANS ARE NOW HEINE
PREPARED.
A NEW FOUR-STORY BUILDING
The First Floor will be Three ’Fine Stores*
The Other Three Floors will be Offices
—Building Completed will
Cost $30,000.
At 7 o'clock Monday morning ground
will bo broken for the Tucker building
to bo erected on the corner of !■ ayotte
ville and Martin streets.
All the present tenants of the Rattle
building, which is to be torn down, have
agreed to vacate by 12 o’clock Saturday
night.
Early Monday morning this building
will bo torn down and work on the new
building will begin, and Mr. Tucker says
it will be pushed to completion just as
rapidly as material can bo obtained.
It is hoped to have it completed by
September, Mr. Tucker left yesterday
for the north to consult bis architect
in regard to the change in plans render
ed necessary by the purchase of the
Rattle corner property.
The building will probably be four
stories high. Mr. Tucker says, with base
ment. The first story will be three
stores.
The corner store. 20 feet wide, will be
a drug store: the store on the north side
will be 32x05 feet and will be occupied
by Cross and Lmehnu. Who will oc

itely known. The other three floors will
be used for offices.
-ue cost of the building will be be
tween $25,000 and $30,000.
The erection of this building means
much to Raleigh. It will not only re
move wdiat is now an unsightly cluster of
small buildings in the principal block of
the city, and replace it with a hand
some structure; but it will give the city
a modern office building—something that
it very much needs.
Mr. Tucker has always been one of
Raleigh s most progressive and public
spirited citizens, and he will make this
new building such a one as will greatly
add to the beauty of the city.
DR. THORN WELL’S LECTURE.
The Joys and Troubles of the Country
Parson Told By One of Then).
» •
It is doubtful if ever in Raleigh any
audiepce over spent a more pleasant
evening than did the one which assem
bled in the lecture room of the Presby
terian church last, night. The seats were
iill occupied by ladies and gentlemen of
highest social worth and culture.
Mrs. D. S. Hamilton Avas in excellent
voice and favored the audience with a
solo most beautifully rendered.
Miss Potter, of Peace Institute, sang
artistically and captivatingly of the tin
happy youth whose girl left him “on the
self-same stile.”
And then came Dr. Thornwel’ls lec
ture! Rut was it a lecture? And if not.
what was it?
That is a conundrum; and the Whole
audience had to give it up. It was not
an address; not a lecture; it was just
something the like of which we never
heard before. The ‘‘Country Parson"
took the audience into his confidence
and told them all his troubles.
Speaking fluently, rapidly, he gave us
his trials of sea-sickness, of inconven
ience in railway travelling, of awkward
nes in the presence of nobility sind ma
jesty, of being bored in listening to long,
mechanical aneches and sermons. Hu
mor bubbled and sparkled, and sunlight
glinted everywhere. Lawyers and Su
preme court justices, and ministers, and
old men and maidens, and young men
and elders and deacons, laughed and
just kept on laughing, for an hour and
a half.
And after all was over, the inimitable
speaker received introduction after intro
duction, and congratulation upon con
gratulation; and even in the informal re
ception thus enjoyed, the Country Par
son's wit and humor flashed and scintil
lated in conversation until the good
night was said and all were gone.
Wherever else Dr. Thornwell has spo
ken, it was universally agreed that be
must have been at his very best last
night.
It was not a lecture; it was not an ad
dress; it was a soul-diverting conun
drum! And its humor was the pleasing
medium of information and instruction
and valuable practical truth.

DR. RAMSEY’S LITTLE RUSE.
Dr. Joyful Laughter Ramsey, the
beautiful and aceomplshed secretary to
the Board of Agriculture, yesterday had
his mustache shaved off, hoping thereby
to look like a sixteen-year-ohl, in order
that he may escape enlistment for the
Cuban war. Rut it is a vain hope; yet,
in justice to the Doctor, it should be
stated that he does not now look a day

TRINITY 10—WAKE FOREST 1.
Shouters Won From the Deep-Water
Roys Yesterday Afternoon.
Wake Forest. N. C.. April 22.—(Spe
cial.)—This afternoon the baseball twirl
ers from Trinity College defeated, the
Wake Forest club on their home grounds
by a score of 10 to 1.
The Shouters arrived on the morning
train from Raleigh and the game was
called as soon as the men could don
their uniforms and have dinner.
It was a grand day for baseball. Roth
teams were confident of victory and
were in perfect condition.
A good crowd was present to cheer for
the deep-water boys, a very few wore
the blue of Trinity, and when Dr.
Pierce, of Durham, called the first, man
lo the plate the interest was intense.
The first inning counted naught for
either team. Wake Forest got two hits
off Chambers, lint failed to score, and
Trinity, through their star second base
man, Jack Johnston, got one hit before
retiring.
In the second inning scoring began and
Chambers’ pitching ability told on the
home boys. Three Wake Forest men
fanned and Trinity taking advantage of
the surprise sent good men to the plate
and with two hits and some neat base
running scored the first run.
The Baptist boys in black didn't; like
the score against them, so they landed
two neat hits and followed suit, bring
ing one man across Ihe plate amid great
applause. Trinity failed to score, so
there was a tie —one and one at the end
of the third.
The fourth inning resulted in goose
eggs for both teams, but the fifth deci
ded the game.
Wake Forest had four men to handle
the stick, but they were retired without
adding glory to their record.
Trinity put snap into the game and
Wake Forest, in the field, though they
played without errors didn’t got. tfie ball.
Johnston urged the men from the side
lines and Chambers, the wizard pitcher,
started the ball rolling with a clean hit.
Bohannan. North and Crawford follow
ed suit, but Johnston eclipsed their
work, lining out a three bagger and
sending as many men across the plate.
Card was out on an infield grounder but
Anderson and Daily each got a hit and
Johnston scored. Howland hit to Cog
gins and was easily out at first. Chain
hers got another hit, and one more
scored, but Bohannon's fly to Parker
ended the run making in that inning.
After getting eight base hits and seven
runs in one inning Trinity again took
the field, lint Wake Forest could not
score. Sams made a pretty hit, but was
caught trying to steal second.
When Trinity again came to the hat
Crawford and North both scored and
the final result —10 to I—had been
reached.
In the eighth and ninth innings neither
side scored and there was no special
feature recorded.
In the seventh inning Edwards went
into the box for Wake Forest, Coggins
going to second base.
SCORE BY INNINGS.
Trinity 0100 72 0 0-10 15 2

The game was called at 3:45 and the
Wake Forest boys loft for Raleigh
on the afternon freight.
The umpiring of Dr. Pierce was fault
less and has been complimented by both
teams. ,
Struck out by Chambers, 12: by Cog
gins, .1; by Edwards, 1.
No feature of the game
was more worthy of complimentary men
tion than the work of Jack Johnston,
Trinity’s star second baseman, who was
in tine form in his field work and made
the great hit of the game—a three bag
ger. scoring three men.
The Trinity boys were well pleased
with their stay here.
r lhis closes Wake Forest’s last hope
for the State championship and assures
Trinity of at least second place.
A BATTLE ROYAL.
A battle royal will take place at Chapel
Hill to-day between the Universities of
Virginia and North Carolina. Roth
teams are in excellent condition, and the
game will bo close and hotly contested
front start to finish. It will probably Ik*
a battle between pitchers, and the two
bestpitohers in the South will contend.
Summers, pitcher for ilio Virginians,
made his reputation as a (wirier in ’.)5.
while pitching for Brown University.
Lawson will do the twirling for Carolina,
and judging from his record during the
last three years the odds are in his fa
vor. Since IS! 15, he lias pitched 2fi3
games and lost only 15. lie has quick
curves, wonderful control and speed "to
burn.” liis cool head work at critical mo
ments of the game has won for him tin*
absolute confidence of his colleagues. De
spite the two very flattering offers, from
league teams last season, Mr. Lawson
lias continued in amateur circles.
John McKee, Carolina’s great left
fielder, is a Raleigh boy, and will doubt
less "start” in to-day’s game. Ilis bat
ting is especially strong.
The special train leaves Raleigh sit
12:30 p. in. Round trip $1.50. Spe
cial cars will be reserved for ladies. The
management has secured the privileges
of seven coaches, and ample accommoda
tions will be provided for all.
NO “UNKNOWN DEAD.”
There will be a very small list of "Un
known Dead” on the American side in
the war with Spain. The United States
has hit upon the admirable plan of
putting on each soldier an aluminum
tag. bearing his name, so that in case
he is found dead he can be identified.

THE YADKIN HARNESSED
IT FURNISHES POWER TO WOOLEN. COT
TON AND FLOUR MILLS.
An Interprise Promises Great Things for Manu*
ring—Salem Academy Commencement
Exercises-Tobacco Stamps'
Winston. N. C.. April 22.—(Special.)—
The power of the Yadkin river has been
harnessed and is now being transmitted
uiion the lightning wings of electricity,
to Ihe Twin City to turn the wheels of
its industrial progress. The consumation
of the scheme marks a great event in
Winston-Salem's history. It is the only
enterprise of the kind in North Caro
lina. The plants now being operated
by this power, include Fries’ woolen, cot
ton and flouring mills. The South-side
cotton factory, the Street railway and
Electric Light plant and Fogle Bros,
planing mills, will be connected by the
first of next week.
The development of this enterprise was
inaugurated last year by the Fries
Manufacturing and Power Company, of
Salem. The mechanical plans were pre
pared by (’has. It. Makepeace &. Co., of
Providence. 11. 1., and the electrical
plans by Lewis & Cliafln, of (he same
place.
The channel of the river where the
plant is located was widened, and the
power house built upon solid rock. The
power house buildng is 3(1x45 feet, and
contains eight 54 inch McCormick
wheels and two governors. The genera
tor house is at the end of the power
house, and contains a 1,000 horse power
generator. The dam is of solid mason
ry, 500 feet long, 10 feet high, and it is
estimated that tjie total amount of pow
er to be transmitted will be more than
2,000 horse power.
The present development represents
1,000 horse power, but the buildings have
capacity for another line of eight tur
bine wheels, and another generator of
sulTioent capacity to iitlizc the entire
water flow at ths point of tin* river.
The electrictv is generated and trans
mitted at 10,000 volts.
Near the Wachovia mills, in Salem, is
a sub-station, from which the individual
lines conduct the electricity to ihe vari
ous manufacturing plants of the city.
Among the plants which have already
contracted for the power are two cot
ton mills, one grain mill, one woolen
mill, one planing mill, one machine shop.
Street Railway and Electric Liirht Com
pany. City Water Works, fertilizer fac
tory, etc. Other industries are contem
plating the use of the power, and the
probabilities are that in a short time the
present amount now transmitted will
he consumed.
The new enterprise is working beauti
fully. and the operatives in the mtyl§,
where the power has been turned op,
say that the speed and regulation of
(lie machinery is much better than when
it was run by steam.
The program of commencement week
at Salem Academy and College, has
been completed. It opens May 22nd,
and closes on the 2tith. The class to
graduate this year consists of twenty
eight young ladies. In addition to this
there will be u number of graduates in
other departments. The annual sermon
will bo preached by Rev. 11. A. Brown,
D. D.. pastor of the First Baptist church,
Winston. Tin* orator will be Judge Ad
vocate General Samuel C. Lemly, LL.
I)., of the United States Navy. He is
a native of Salem. Two memorials will
be presented at this commencement. One
is a fine Grill Work Entrance to the
North side court of the main hall, by the
class of ’!)7; the other a large bust of
Comenius, by the class of ’9B.
On account of the probable increase in
the tobacco tax the stamp sales here
have been record breakers during the
past week. The collections yesterday
amounted to $13,140.18.
THE HOME GUARD.
If the State troops are called out and
sent to Cuba, immediately, another mili
tia in the State will be organized and
equipped for home protection. Then if
there is another call for troops these
will lie sent, while still another home
guard is organized and so on. With its
present population North Carolina can
not afford to he a day without military
forces in the border of the State.
GILBERT WARD ACQUITTED.
Gilbert Ward, the white man who was
here in jail so ong and was last week
taken to Goldsboro to be tried for the
murder of his mistress, has been tried
and acquitted. The jury was out only
a short while before ihey came back
with a verdict of "not guilty.” Ward
had many strong friends who stood by
him in his trouble.
A little boy asked for a bottle of "get
up in the morning as fast as you can.”
the druggist recognized a household
name for “DeWitt’a Little Early
Risers,” and gave him a bottle of those
famous little pills for constipation, sick
headache, liver and stomach troubles.
