Challies.
Today w,e offer l. pieces of Challie
that are well wortli ltte. for 12aC.
Of course they are cotton, but you'd
never suspect it unless you could tell
it by f;he touch. You wouldn't think
it from the texture of the fabric and
the coloring and printing are as
pretty as the very finest French.
These are all choice styles, and you'd
best come before they .they are pick
ed over. There may be enough of
them to last this week but we could
not promise you that. You know
how quickly those sort of things go
at Seigle's, so y,.u best buy at once
and'run no risk. We have a very
choice lino of all wool Challies
which we are running ut 2oc. The
richest picking is now among the
Ginghams and Satines. Always a
crowd arountl them, and no wonder,
when they contain so much beauty
and so small a price.
The India Pongee is a sure seller,
and we feel well repaid for Introdu
cing it in this city. Do you And
them elsewhere? Look all over the
city and you'll come here to get
tin-in. Think of our price on them,
too. Only 2i")C, ami they ought to
bring ;i gn at deal more. Special
drive in those I2'2c. ('bullies, so take
the hint.

One of a Lot of Ten Just Bought by
the Richmond & Danville for Passen
ger Service, Comes into Town The
Largest and Swiftest Engines in the
South.
TJie Richmond A Danville Rail
road Company some time ago gave
the Rogers Locomotive Works an
order for ten new engines specially
designed for passenger service.
The first of the ten was brought
into the city yesterday by engineer
Tunstall, pulling a freight train, as
all new engines are tlrst "broke in"
on freights, so as to get their bear
ings in shape for swift passenger
traffic.
It was the most enormous thing iu
the way of an engine ever seen in
Charlotte. This new engine is num
bered 808. She stand high and is a
thing of beauty. She has three driv
ing wheels on each'side, ten wheels
altogether. The boiler sets so high
that a man can walk under it with
out stooping. All the ten eugines
will be exactly alike. They each
weigh KM.OOO pounds, and each one
cost fid.!). Tiny are provided
with every modern improvement
and are the finest engines
ever seen in the South. They
are built for both speed and power,
and can pull a train of ten cars at M
miles an hour. Some idea of their
size may be obtained when it is
stated that they art' even larger than
the big consolidated 12 wheeled en
gines now in the freight service of
the Kichmoml tV lanvi!lc. Lngineer
Tunstall said that No. sos worked
beautifully and did not show any in
clination to "lie down," as engineers
say when they -peak of an engine
balking. Winn these new engines
are put in the pas-eiiger service.there
will be sw ift transit between Wash
ington, Charlotte and Atlanta.
That's Charlotte.
The Wilmington Star, commenting
on the proposition to issue IT.'t.OOO iu
Itontls for improving the streets of
Charlotte says : "In progre.-si veness
ami vim, con-idering size and popu
lation. Charlotte will compare favor-
ably with any city that we know of.'
North or South, and she is indebted
for the position she now holds among
Southern cities to the energy and
push tif her people. Thus it is that
encouraging the building of rail
roads has made her a railroad centre,
w ith all the advantages that this im
plies. The item of IT.i.000 will be a
very small one in return for good
streets, ami it will be money well
Invested.
The Death of Young Cowles-
It now seem- to he pletty well set
tled that the death of cadet David
i V. Cowles, was due tti suicide, and
j not to accident, ami this only lends
j additional sadness to the case. The
i young man was subject to -pells of.
melancholia. The body of young

; cadets front Oxford, was conveyed to
, Wilkesboro yesterday. At (ireens
; boro it w as placed on board the same i
train w hich brought Col. W. 11.11. j

sympathies of the w hole people of ;

Yesterday's Storm.
A right lively storm eaim
the city at half nasi lour o'cle
terday afternoon. There w a- a
siderable rainfall ami a high
prevailed. The clouds to th
the city were black ami angry look

that direction today report heavy
winds and light rains. There was a
considerable fall of hall in some por

any kind has been reported.
The Meeting of the Two Dioceses at
Tarboro.
The meeting of the Convention at
Tarboro next month will beef spe
cial iuterest to Episcopalians
throughout the State. It whs one
hundred years ago the 5th of next
June that their first meeting after
the Revolution was held at Tarboro.
Several meetings were held at the
same place from 1790 to 1794, and an
organization was effected, and the
Itev. Charles Pettigrew was chosen
to he Kishop. From various causes
he was never consecrated, and the
organization effected fell through.
The Diocese of North Carolina was
not organized until 1817, but there is
much interest attaching to the at
tempt made to this end in 1790, and
the two Dioceses, viz., the Diocese of
East Carolina and of North Caro
lina, included within the limits of
this State, have joined in appointing
a meeting at Tarboro next month, at
. which papers will be read and ad
dresses made relating to the history
of the Episcopal Church in North
Carolina both before aud since the
Revolution.
We give below the programme of
services, addresses, etc., prepared by
the committee aud furnished us by
their secretary. Reinga matter of
gnat interest -to many persons
throughout the State it is hoped that
the State press will give such pub
licity to these appointments as their
space may permit. Such of the pa
pers as are not delivered at the meet
ing are intended to be published af
terwards. I'KIHIKAMMK.
