"I saw the prettiest place foraclty park this morning," said a visitor to a Nkws reporter, "that could well be imagined. It is the square oc cupied by the old cemetery in rear of the First Presbyterian church. New York would give a million dollars for a piece of ground like that. The Ice this morning brought out its beauty in a striking manner. There are towering oaks, stately ce dars and spruce, shapely elms and magnolias in great abundance, and the chance to make a perfectly beautiful park is one that would da light the heart of a landscape gard ens. I wonder that Charlotte, with Its great need for a central park, should allow this chance to sleep. Just give a Northern city a chance like this and see what it would do." There Is a good deal of truth in what this visitor says. The old ceme tery was abandoned years ago, and the natural growth of trees within its confines is magnificently adapted to the purposes of a cool and refreshing park, where our people, especially nurses and chil dren, could find a convenient and deligbtfnl spot to pass the hot summer hours. The best argument in favor of the park is central loca tion, as it is almost directly In the centre of the city. There would be no long, dusty and hot street car rides to reach it ouly a short walk or a few blocks from any home in thecity, and w ith the towering trees, cool shade, pleasant bree.es aod refresh ing music of fountains, what a glor ious spot it would be in the summer time. The monument to the signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration of In dependence, aod the monument to Alexander Craighead could be erect ed In this park. What better place could Iw found? Then the graves of lien, tieorge (iraham. Col. Tom Polk and v Nathaniel Alexander could Deleft iu the park and each sur mounted by a statue, or monument, j Make it a monumental park. When J it conic to beautifying the city, you cant Had any schome to beat thij.aud poboudswlll be Deeded to do it, either. Huch a park would be a pub lic blessing and a public benefit. railed Savannaa. Rev. F. W. K. Peschau, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran church In Wilming ton, and who has many warm friends In Charlotte, has been called to the Church of the Holy Ascension, at Havannah. The Review says: "This it one of the largest and most beau tiful churches in the South. It has been called the cathedral of Savan nah and Ihe congregation is a very large one. Mr. Peschau has the call under advisement. We sincerely trust that he may not accept it but that he may eiijway clear to re main here. Neither the church nor thecity can spase him, and it w ill be a sad day when he leaves us should he concludelo accept this call." Mr, Newell, local reporter for the : Concord Times, gave The Nkws a; call yesterday afternoon, but did not ; tarry as long as we would have le-j Ired. Mr. Newell Is a bright young reporter and is doing good work on I the Times. Rrother Ramsey, of the Salisbury Watchman, was also in.

Hhannounhouse, of Charlotte, who was there at the time, reports that both the building and its entire content were totally consumed. There were 150 bales of cotton stored in the warehouse, besides a large lot of w agons, buggies and ag ricultural implements, and the loss U estimated at $12,000. It is very nearly covered by insurance, so it is believed. The origin of the fire was accidental. The streets of (ireenville are knee reap in mud and ou the way to the fire, t lie engines mired down and stuck in the streets. They could not be brought to the scene of the fire in time to save the building, but the firemen managed to confine the llatnes to the wurehouse. The nrlhaal.l ( harrh.

Alexan der, of Charlotte, N. C, Representative-elect from the Sixth district of that State in the next Housejs at the Metropolitan. He is one of the Far mers' Alliance members of the next Congress. He was elected by a ma jority of 7,300. He is a fine-looking man of soldierly bearing, is more than six feet tall, and weighs 230 pounds. In point of ability he will probably rank at the head of the North Carolina delegation. He was for a time chairman of the Democrat ic State executive committee in his State, has served as Senator, and al so a member of the State board of agriculture. He declined the invita tion of lieutenant governor in 1888, He is now chairman of the State ex ecutive committee of the Farmers' Alliance. At the recent convention In Oca la be was recognized as one of of the ablest and most conservative men there. Winter la the SprlnaUue- The News last fall stated that its goosebone predicted plenty of win ter along about the time spring is usually expected, and the enow, sleet and ice of the past few days, shows that our goosebone will do to count ou. The fact Is that our seasons have so changed, that the roughest weath er, the real winter, may now be ex pected along about March. The elec tric wires about Charlotte today look like big white ropes, while the bud ding trees are drooping under their load of ice. This brings to mind oth er March weather, notably the great blizzard of March 11th, 1888. In these days the early bird not only catches the worm, but also a pretty stiff dose of wintry weather. Salary ! he lacreasea. The Senate has agreed upon an amendment to increase the pay of Prof Geo. B Hanna, assistant assayer of the Charlotte assay office, from 11,260 to I,600 per year.
