Mr. Lyons rails, but Secures the Losses.
Thk News yesterday recorded the
arrest of Mr. 8. H. Phelan who for
merly operated a bucket shop in
Charlotte, but who has since been
doing a similar business in Atlanta
As well as we can understand the
case, he is charged with making fic
titious quotations and realizing
money thereon. He Is charged with
swindling parties in Griffin, Ga., out
of $20,000.
Mr. Lyon, who managed Mr. Pbe-
lan's Charlotte house, and who Is
well remembered here.was in charge
of a bucket shop at Macon, and Phe-
lan's failure sent him to the walL
Mr. Lyon, howevert secured his cus
tomers and will pay every dollar of
the losses.
The commission brokerage house
of Tardy & Walker, of Charlotte, has
been called a bucket shop by people
who don't know anything about it,
but it is not a bucket shop, not even
possessing the element of a concern
of that character. They were in no
way affected by the failure of the
shops, but continue to do a strictly
legitimate commission and broker
age business, besides furnishing our
people with accurate and reliable
market reports.
An Officer, a Dog, and a Muskrat
Have a Fight.
A lively battle occurred in the
very hdart of Charlotte last night
between a policeman, a dog, and a
muskrat The battleground was no
less a historic spot than Independ
ence Square. A dog struck the ac-
auaintance of the muskrat iu the
gutter In front of the Central Hotel,
and the rat and the dog at once got
into a fight They bit and pulled at
each other savagely, fighting across
the street until they trot under the
electric light in the square, when
policeman Hoover went to the relief
of the dog. The rat bit at him sav
agely, and he fought it off with his
club. It was finally killed by the
combined efforts of the. officer and
the dog, and its carcass was exhib
ited on the square this morning. The
rat was a monster, almost as large as
an ordinary sized house cat, and its
teeth were half an inch long and as
sharp as needles. These ugly cus
tomers frequently come up town at
this season of the year, making their
way up from the creeks through the
sewers.

A Talk With Mr. Peschau.
Rev. F. W. E. Peschau, of Wil
mington, arrived the city today from
Mt Pleasant and spent the after
noon with his friends here. Mr. Pes
chau has beeu trying to get a correct
understanding of the Lutheran Sem
inary matter, as a report has to be
made at the coming synod, which
meets at St Luke's church, in David
son county, on Friday, May 2ud. It
will depend upon the character of
the report made at this synod,
whether or not Charlotte is to get
the Seminary. Mr. Peschau is an ar
dent advocate for Charlotte's claims
in the matter and says he would be
glad to see the seminary located
here. He says that the Lutherans
are deeply appreciative of the aid so
far extended by Charlotte and the
the iuterest our people have mani
fested in the matter.
There Is still, we believe, tt.OOO to
be raised to make up the amount re
quired of Charlotte.
