Senator Vance's letter will fetch him. If Mr. Cleveland accepts, he will bs litelat .Washington by a del cation from Charlouo and brought Knooked Off by the Train. The Charlotte bound freight train was flagged down by the section mas ter about two miles out from town, near the fair grounds, at 0 o'clock thia morning. The section master had found a negro who had been knocked from the track by the pas senger train, lying in the ditch. The wounded negro was put on the freight and brought to the city.when he was sent to the colored hospital. Dr. Gibbon, the railroad physician, found that the negro was very dan gerously injured. His recovery is doubtful. The negro gives his name as Squire Button, and says he is from Golds boro. He says that he was coming into town last night with a white man. When they reached a point near the fair grounds, the white man told him to wait .there for a few min utes. The white man went off and he sat down on the end of a crosstie and went to sleep. The next thing he knew, the passenger train came along ai three o'clock, and knocked him off. The white man came back shortly, but, on seeing his condition, at once deserted him. Sutton re mained in the ditch until about 8 o'clock, when he was discovered by the section master. He is badly buised, but his most serious injury is to his spine. The doctor thinks his chances of recovery very doubtful. Special Bailroad Bates.
