From the Charlotte Observer, 24th Hut.
Thursday.— The Inferior court was
engaged for the greater part of the day
in the trial of the colored men for mob
bing Doc Jones last Summer, the par
ticulars of which are still fresh in the
minds of our readers. The plaintiff,
Jones, did not appear in court, having
left the city about a month ago. Mrs.
Philips, the woman at whose house
Jones was when the mobbing took
place, appeared to prosecute the de
fendants for forcible trespass. Solici
tor Calvin E. Grier and Mr. Thomas M.
Pittman appeared for the prosecution,
while the defendants were represented
by the Charlotte bar. The jury return
ed verdicts as follows: Gadsden Earle,
Ed Hagler, Martin Orr, Jr., Wm Max
well and Wm Brown, forcible trespass,
guilty.
Chris Lomax, Joseph Brown, James
Ilagler, A C Monroe, F Reed and Wel
lington Lomax, forcible trespass, not
guilty.
Wellington Lomax, Chris Lomax, Jos
Brown, Jas Hagler, A C Monroe and
Frank Reed, assault and hattery, not
guilty.
Wm Brown, Wm Maxwell, Ed Ha
gler, Gadsden Earle and Martin Orr,
Jr, assault and battery, plead former
conviction. The coats of the case, which
will probably amount to over #3OO, will
full upon the defendants and thus ends
the great Doc Janes mobbing case.
Notwithstanding the time taken up
in the trial of these oases, the court got
through with a number of other cases.
John Emanuel, was convicted of larce
ny,' and sentencid to two years in the
State penitentiary. Ham Witherspoon,
on trial for larceny, plead guilty to for
cible trespass. Sara Alexander, the ne
gro who stole a bicyole from Mr. It. L.
Cochrane in this city and carried it to
Monroe, where he and the bicyole were
both captured and brought back, was
found guilty. Joe Cathey, for an affray,
submitted and judgment was suspend
ed on payment of costs. John Gorrell,
for assault and battery, was found
guilty. Gilbert Harris was acquitted
of the charge of carrying concealed
weapons. In the State vs. John Dunn
and Rosina Duun, for assault and bat
tery, the defendants were called and
failed to appear and judgment nisi was
entered.
Harrison Watts Hose Co.
Every member of the above nam
ed company is requested to meet in
the room over Mr. A. C. Monroe’s
barber shop next Monday night at
71 o’clock to make some disposition
of the furniture and funds on hand.
This is thought necessary, as the
board of aldermen have failed to re
cognize the company. It is earnest
ly hoped that every member may
be present and that the organiza
tion may be turned into something
more beneficial.

Collector Cooper. This is the only
cause for the change we have yet
hoard. Many of our citizens ex
press disapproval of the change.
OUR CONCERT.
Our roaders will find elsewhere a
very nice account of our concert
last Monday night. The article was
prepared by Puck, and we assure
those who were not present, that
Puck is a good judge of such enter
tainments.
We take this occasion to congrat
ulate our Superintendent and all
others connected with the concert,
upon the satisftiction given and the
financial success. The object of the
entertainment was to realize some
funds to make a present to our be
loved Elder Tyler as a token of our
love and appreciation of his services
the past three years. There were
over four hundred persons out, and
after presenting the elder a nice S4O
suit and beaver, wo have a nice lit
tle sum left to go in our Sunday
school treasury.
We had some very good reading
and singing as mentioned by “Puck,”
but of course the singing did hot
equal Madame Selika or Patti, as
we had ouly one week to prepare.
We now know what wo can do and
it is hoped that our young friends
will take advantage of tho time and
prepare something grand for a
Christmas concert. Wo havo not
forgotten the Christmas tree last
year, Os course wo intend to have
another and we suggest that we
have some well prepared pieces by
our better teachers and older schol
lars as well as some fine sheet mu
sic. What say our teachers 7 ’Tie
time to go to work.
