People Who Come and Go ISrief IJrevi ties of Interest to All Headers of The Globe. Two weeks ago complaint was made at Hi Is oflice of the very unwholesome j and offensive and altogether disgraceful condition of the alley near the "Western Union telegraph oflice, and this paper was asked to call attention to it, and to suggest to the authorities, since they culd not sec for themselves, that a veritable cesspool was quietly gathering in the very heart of the city, and that in it was sleeping the germs of disease and pesti tilence of every name and variety, and that to 5it it remain was to endanger not only the health but the lives of those who breathed the foul exhalations arising from it. Tiik Glows called attention. It not only called attention, but insisted Jong and loudly that something should be done. It asked the health ollicer to go and take a look at the alley and do his duty. And he looked. Yet two weeks have passed and noth ing has been done. Stagnant water, green with scum, has gathered and is still gathering in the alley. Decayed watermelon rinds, Dead rats, Ucfuse of all kinds constantly thrown from the windows above have been col lecting for months and putrifying in the sun until the fumes are sickening. Dirty water and fruit parings are daily poured from the Y. C. A. rooms and sleeping apartments in the building and the alley is made a convenient receptacle for whatever happens to be in the way up stairs. Sanitary Poliiccman Ed Lee states that he has complained to the higher oilicers and asked that the alley be cleaned up. It has not been touched, however, and TiikGloish wants to know whose busi ness it is to look after such matters and why such things are suffered to exist. It is. plainly the duty of somebody, if not the city needs a new officer and should lose no time in choosintr one. DURHAM DOINGS. The Day's Record of Current Events In the City and Vicinity. Highest prices paid for tomatoes at I). E. Uishop's canning factory. -Durham Favorite, only clear Havana live cent cigar sold in the city, at the Thomas cigar store. New telegraph poles on the Western Union line are being placed between Kal eigli and Greensboro. The Progressive Hencfit order should be summarily squelched and Colonel Kenzie should be headed off. In contemplating the big fires re ported all over the country Durham' has cause to congratulate herself. The debris has been cleared away from the recent wreck and the laying of brick has been recommenced on Trinity college. At last we are to have clean streets Street Commissioner Christian has or dered the hay mowed at once and the na tives are at it. Col. V. Ballard is out of pocket some $ 10 on account of the Progressive Bene fit order. Others who was taken in by the progressive fraud are in the same boat. The new Mangum building on Main street is proving a much bigger job than at first supposed. The lesson is plain. Be sure your neighbor is solid before you tie to him. The Capital Hose company and the Rescue company, of Raleigh, will be down next Tuesday to participate in the races. Companies from every town in the state will be in attendance. Lost or strayed a young setter five or six months old, white body, blown head and two brown spots on right side. Any person seeing or finding such a dog will oblige owner by notifying this office.

Those who have watched the progress of the work claim that it will, ' when completed be the handsomest busi- No Change. No, Harry, I am sorry, but I am sure that we could not be happy together. You know I always want rny own way in everything." "But, my dear girl, you could go on wanting it after we were married." ness oflice in the city, with perhaps the single exception of that of V. Duke Sons & Co., and that there will be few like it in the South. Parrish street has been leveled and got in readiness for the reel race3 next week. Wagons will not be allowed to drive over it after Monday, in order that the bo)-s can have a chance to get in their work. Considerable excitement was occa sioned in the west end by the sight of a fox with a pack of dogs in hot pursuit, which tore through the town this morn ing about 4 o'clock. The hunters were more considerate and went round. Street commissioner J. B Christian has issued a rinal an emphatic order in regard to cleaning the streets. He says the grass must all be up before the tour nament and people who have not already done so notified to begin at once to shovcr hay. A fishing party numbering some twenty-five or thirty and chaperoned by Mrs. S. L. Leary, Miss Mattie Headen and Mr. J. K. Brown, of lialeigh, left this morning for Redmond's pond, where they will spend the day returning home late this evening. The" State Chronicle says: Mr. W. C. Stronach, superietendent of the Sol diers' Home, has received an cil painting, which is to be raflled off for the benefit of the Soldiers's Home. It represents an old soldier returning home and finding his home in ruins, his wife and children gone. The picture shows him as he leans on his musket, viewing the ruins. The painting was executed by Miss Stella Banks of this city. Query: Will Col. A. M. Rigsbce cut the street or raise the porch of the new and elegant structure now going up on Mangum street? As it stands now the porch is some two feet lower than the sidewalk and projecting right up to the very edge of the boards, acts as a sort of dust-pan or waste basin or whatever else you choose to call it, for the rickety side walk. If Colonel Rigsbee will grade the street he may find a tenant, otherwise the man will be hard up who takes shelter in such a shanty. IT COMES HIGH. Mr. Sid Mangum I'ay Dear f -r the Ac cident lut Week. The new Mangum building, which was so hopefully begun and which was to have been so soon completed, is proving a serious undertaking, serious at least to Mr. Sid Mangum, who is putting up the building and whose series of accidents and general bad luck have caused him to become pessimistic and conclude with the Irishman, that it would be a hundred dollars in his packet if he had never been born. As will be remembered, in digging his foundation last week he got too near the building, the old Mangum building occu pied by S. Balkin, and that in consequence of which the wall caved, occasioning a stampede in the store blow and necessi tating the tearing down and rebuilding of the entire side. Messrs. Leo Ileartt.M. C. HerndonCar tain Freeland, J. Levy, who adjusted the damages to Mr. Balkin, estimated his stock at $4,000, allowing him 4 per cent thereon. In addition io this Mr. Mangum was called upon for $00.70, railroad fare for a trip made by Mr. Balkin to New York and return; $15 .for Mi. Balkin's son, who clerked in the store, and $l a day to another clerk until business should be resumed. In addition to this he has to pay the rent of two buildings, one at $20 and the other at $40, and $8 a day to Mr. Balkin for 15 days, the time allowed him to find another business stand. Altogether Mr. Mangum estimates his loss at something like $700 or $800. And all because of going too near a wall. r We all have to learn by experience and Mr. Christian will probably profit by this. The caved wall has been boarded up and the old store room is now about ready again for occupancy. Wanted. A few canvassers either ladies or gen tlemen. Will pay $78 per month.

YAM TALKS SENSE 1 He Discusses the Fickle Thing Called Justice And Wants to Know the Wlieneeness of the Wherefore OF SEVERAL OF HER RECENT CAPERS Winston Iieats Baltimore by a Close She Some Improvements Go ing on in Durham. We do not know that the "morning stars sang together" in our natal hour, or t hat there was any frantic rejoicing either in heaven or elsewhere on that occasion; but we were not born in vain there was a yawning vacuum somewhere in nature that needed filling, and we'll yet plug up the chasm and then ? Echo is painfully silent here ! It is not written that deity ever yet created anything in vain ; but, my countrymen, the creative power ran dangerously near the edge of failure when Mary Ella Thompson, the infanticide, and Judge Boykin, the learned (?) jurist, bobbed up on the stage of action. We daily see incongruities, strange idiosyn crasies, and other laxities in the moral world the age of flesh cannot under stand nor take in these things, but in the whenceness of the wherefore, which is coming on the wings of fate, we'll then plainly see why it was that John Wil liams got fifteen years in the pen for ap propriating $10, and Mary Ella Thomp son only eighteen months in the work house for poisoning the little child of our citizen, Mr. Leon Ivirkland. Circum stantial evidence convicted Williams, while positive, devilish facts embraced every inch of the ebon Mary Ella's anatomy, and the result? Well, the poor little innocent babe is now calmly sleeping upon Abraham's bosom, John Williams is grinding out a weary life in the pen, and Mary Ella what's the matter with Miss Ella? Listen, we'll tell you : Ella and Colonel George Chavis went off on a marriage tour the other day chartered a Pullman sleeper on the Ellen D., and are now enjoying the honey-moon's seraphic hours in the quiet of an honorable seclusion. You see, John Williams was guilty of a hein ous offence, and is now reaping a sinner's reward, but Miss Thompson did only what all other virtuous nurses should do put a quietus to the squalling fury deluged it in the corroding waves of con centrated lye, and for this "meritorious act Miss Ella is now in the elysian fields of that prince of good fellows, Colonel Hymen, and with heaven clearly visible in the near distance. Of course this is "justice" who disputes the fact? Miss Ella will be given a grand reception on her return. His honor, Judge Lynch, will be the master of ceremonies, and Durham's elite will turn out en mass to grace the happy occasion. Speed the day, propitious fate ! We always did en joythose pleasant re-unions of congenial friends. L. D. Vann. FORGED AN ORDER. (Jeorjjc Thompson Forges an Order and (Jets It Cashed. George Thompson who was before the mayor yesterday for fighting and fined $3.55 has to day to answer to a graver charge. Not having the needful to pay the fine he went to the store of Mr. L. C. Chris tian, on Lee street and "presented an or der from his mother for the. amount, saying to Mr. Christian that his mother would hand it to him Saturday night. Christian let him have the money and when he mentioned it to Mrs. Thompson later she denied knowing anything about it aud said she had never authorized any such order. Mrs. Thompson is a poor woman and a widow. She strings sacks for the Duke smoking tobacco and her daughter works in the same factory. George Thompson, the young man who could not pay his fine without deceiving his neighbor and swindling his mother, is 22 years old, a professional loafer and public nuisance. Any young man who .would cheat and disgrace his own mother would do much worse if an opportunity offered. As yet no action has been taken against him. But there should be. He should be turned over to the boys and let them give him to understand that such creatures will not be tolerated in the town. This is an instance in which the white caps would have some material to work on. In Plain English !
