. has the Pelt. i . .; r .
j Heard about the big wolf hunt In
Charlotte last . week? ' Not Well,
there was one, and It was a lively,
one too. KTfe wolf skin Is nowhanttf
lug 'on a peach tree lu front of ijisxi
Shoeshine's residence, in rear of the
Central Hotel. Jim not only gott '
pelt, but he Jad quartered the wolf
and was going to have a wolf steak
for supper, when an old colored wo
man happened to hear about It She
hunted up Jim and said: "Look
heah, you nigger! You gwlne pa.i
dat wolf meat? Ef you do, you'll
sholy nebber eat nudder bite of any
thing else long's you live, and that
won't be long." Jim reluctantly
abandoned the Idea of a wolf supper.
It all happened last Friday, while
the town was swarming with people.
A gentleman living lnNampspu coutti
ty sent a big live wolf to the Ceqril
Hotel, expecting to folju ;t jib s
few days and take It to Baltlrdore;
where it was to be placed in a park.
The wolf was thoroughly tamed. It
came In a big slatted box, and Mr.
Eccles had it placed in the court
yard in rear of the hotel. Friday
afternoon, the animal broke out and
bounded off. Fifty odd boys and
men put after it, and the crowd grew
bigger as each block was passed. The
wolf got into College street aud ran
by the freight depot, then It took
through Logtowu. As it ran by iv
colored woman's house it suapped up
a chicken aud ate it, feathers aud ail,
as it ran. Tfce course of the chae
was to Myers street Then the wolf
out through the fields. Reaching
the waterworks reservoir it jumped
iu. The crowd surrouuded the re
servoir, aud the engiueor hearing the
racket ran out with his gun. "What
la It?" he asked as he saw the Ktrauge
animal. 'It's a wild wolf," they
Shouted, whereupon, h raided his
gon and killed the animal. Two
runners from the Central came up
just too late to save the life of the
wolf.

i Last week's Issue of Frank Leslie's
Illustrated Newspaper, ; contains a
portrait of Mrs. Fenton Lawson, of
Cincinnati, Ohio; one of the famous
singers who Is ., tb take'part In the
June Muslcai Festival In Charlotte.
rrsFenton Lawson is pne of the
foat beautiful and popular matfths
In Cincinnati; She 1 the wife' of a
prominent young merchant, who, is
a member of one of , the oldest and
most Influential families In the:-eity.
Mrs, Lawson was Miss Corrlne
Moore. She came to Cincinnati
about five years ago with her widow
ed mother from the South, to culti
vate' her voice. She entered the
College of Music, and as a pupil of
Professor Bach Foley, soon became
a musical and social favorite. She
has a fine soprano voice of high
range. Mrs. Lawson is of medium
height, with a Southern warmth of
nature, sparkling black eyes and
glossy raven hair, a pnre brunette

The Death of a Bespected Hegro.
Allen Carson, one of the best ne
groes in Charlotte, died yesterday,
from an attack of pneumonia, follow
ing the grip. AJlen was one of the
old timers, black as coal, with thick
heavy side whiskers, but as honest as
the day is long. Everybody in Char
lotte knew, him, and be bad not only
the respect, but tbe unbounded con
fidence of the white people. Allen
was the former slave of Mr. James H.
Carson, and freedom made no differ
ence with him. He was a true and
loyal black man, devoted to his
former master, old mistress and
young masters, and they were deeply
attached to htm. Old Allen's death
brought sadness to that household.
The boys employed Mr. Nichols un
dertaker to care for the body and had
it placed in a handsome casket,
which was covered with flowers con
tributed by Mr, Cosou's family.
Allen's body was burled in Pine
wood cemetery this afternoon, the
fnneral services being conducted
from' the colored Presbyterian
church, corner of 7th and College
streets, by Kev. Mr. Wyche. Mr.
Carson anil family attended, and a
number of other white people were
present 1 - '
Ingalls and other of his stripe
should hav seen that funeral ser
vice. An old black inau in a hand
some casket furnished by his former
ntastors, and covered with flowers
cut by the hands of his mistress and
first around the casket a circle of
sorrowing white people.
Allen was 57 years old and leaves
six children. During the latter
year of his life, be had been trades
man for the housekeepers of Char'
lotto, and he never misappropriated
a dime, or made a false represents
tlon. He died in the full respect of
the white people, and the sentiment
of all is that a good old negro has
gone to his reward.
