An Ola War Veteran Meet With
Paint t! Accident Yesterday After
HMD.
Mr. Daniel Dulln, a well known
citisenof Meoklenburg, was serious
ly hart as he was leaving town for
bis horn In Crab Orchard township,
yesterday afternoon. The accident
occurred on D street, at the Carolina
Central crossing. Mr. Duliu was
seated on a wagon load of guano
when an unexpected lurch threw
him off and a bag of guano fell on
him. He was carried to a neighbor
ing house, and a messenger returned
to the scene with Dr. Register, who
found that the bones of one of Mr.
Dulln's shoulders were broken. Dr.
Register set the broken bones and
Mr. Dulln was taken to his home In
a buggy. He is well advanced in
years and the accident is a serious
one to him.
Mr. Dulln was a brave soldier and
served through the war in Co. A
Eleventh North Carolina Regiment.
At tbe battle of Gettysburg he re
eeivtd a wound which made him a
cripple for life. Itwasatthis same
crossing that his brother, William
Dulln was run over aud killed by a
train, iu 1875.
The ground hog prophets, tbe
goosebone devotees, the believers in
the changes of the moon where are
they, and who is there to mourn for
them? The goosebene said yester
day would be a rainy day. It was
the prettiest day we have had this
year.The groundhog said today would
tho very sort for ladles to come
out and look at spring millinery, and
there was a drizzle that made the
services of the street spioklers un
necessary. Then again, an old eiti-
ren who could always tail when it
was going to rain by the laxity or se
verity of his rheumatic pains, was
prancing about yesterday as happy
as a sohool boy, with never a sign of
an ache In his bones, and be would
have been willing to have staked all
his possessions on the prediction that
today would be a glorious sunshiny
day. Baker, loo, is floundering Ir
the mire. Thb News has come to
the conclusion that all these old
w eather predicting paraphernalia are
frauds, and the only way to predict
the weather aright is to wait for to
morrow and tell what sort of weather
there was the day before.

Rev. R. G. Pearson is now holding
services In Mobile, Ala. The Mobile
Register says of his preaching: "Dr.
Pearson has a peculiar but magnetic
presence, standing erect, dark, frail
in face, much like A. H. Stevens.
His clear analysis, entirely unemo
tional but convincing, holds one in
close attention, and his striking ana
logies srom nature and experience
recall Henry Drumraond and Bishop
Butler. It is already evident that
his mission will be productive of
much good here.''

In a letter to Thk Nkws, dated
Rockingham, March 17, Mr. John
Springs Davidson says: "The Ham
Jones of the Fanners' Alliance (Ben
Terrell) held a revival at this place
yesterday and to-day, and will be in
Charlotte on next Friday. I hope the
lukewarm and opponents to the
great cause will turn out and hear it
explained in Its true light, so they
may be able to comment. It will be
a great treat to the citlsens of Old
Mecklenburg, and I think of vast
benefit to many,"

Chances in the City Delivery
Carps.
Postmaster Brady has been reor
gaaizlng the corps of city delivery
olerks,and several changes have been
made. Mr. George Farrlngton, who
was superintendent of tbe carriers,
is succeeded by M. L . Hawkins.
Mr. Hawkins' old place is filled by
J. F. Correll, and Oddie Bradley,
colored, succeeds to the place made
vacant by CorreJl's promotion.
Mr. Hawkins has been in the post-
office service here for some time past
and is thoroughly familiar with the
duties of the position he now fills.
He has filed his bond for $1,000 and
has taken charge of the carrier
corps.
Mr. Brady has made all arrange
ments for the removal of tbe office to
the new Government building and
will make the first delivery of mail
from the new quarters on April 1st
Mare Railroad Stw.
A rumor exists in Atlanta for the
last few days to the effect that a
lajge movement was on foot as to the
disposition of the Central Railroad
of Georgia. It is said that the Ter
minal Company will lease the Cen
tral for 09 years. Pat Calhovn will
go to Savannah this w eek aud will
discuss the matter w ith the officers
and directors of the Central Rail
road there and with Uen. Alexander
On the rumor that the road would be
leased for 99 years, the stock, which
has heretofore been selling from 110
to 112, has advanced to 118 ami 119.
There is no doubt that the subject of
the lease is now under discussion,
nd the terms proposed guarantee 7
per cent, net on the stock of the Cen
tral payable semi-annually. It Is
understood that the lease win ie
made under the name of the Georgia
Pacific road Instead of the Terminal
Company. This will make a contin-
ous line from Savanuah to the Mis
sissippi River at Greenville where
here the road will connect w ith the
Gould system and with their roads
running direct to the Pacific Ocean,
It is not Improbable that solid trains
will run from Savannah to the Pa
cific coaat within six months. It is
understood that Mr. Gould is very
much in favor of the lease, and says
It will be a creat move toward tbe
development of Savanuah aa a great
port. This will also give a short
line from Savanuah to Washington
via Augusta.
The "laterally.
The mayoralty question manages
toketpontop, and when you see a
street group talking, two to one its
about toe msyor s office. Mr. W, C.
Maxwell, a former mayor, and the
one who gave Charlotte her first
brick pavements, seems to have the
run of the town to-day. He is not a
candidate, but his friends say that
he cannot rsslst the pressure that
will be brought to bear upon him. It
Is understood that a call for ward
conventions has been decided upon
by tbe city executive committee and
that the call will be Issued iua few
davs. No one seems to be particu
larly anxious foreign as mayor of
Charlotte for the next two years, but
modesty Is a characteristic of our
people. The names Thk Nkws has
heard mentioned In connection with
the efflce are: MessrsF B McDowell,
Harrison Watts, Fred Oliver, W I
Maxwell, B R Smith, J 8 Spencer.
Geo K Wilson, Geo S Hall, R B Al

The Delay In Fertiliser Analyse.
Commissioner of Agriculture John
Robinson states that the analyse of
fertilizers this year will be delayed
later than usual. This Is caused by
the fact that the whole machinery
of the license system hitherto In
vogue has been changed, and the
new tonnage system was put In oper
ation in the midst of the season. The
inauguration of the system has in
volved much labor and delay, and to
avoid mistakes, and at the same
time keep up with the immense val-
nrae of correspondence coming daily
into tbe office, have constituted the
chief causes of this enforced delay in
getting the analyses out. The force
of inspectors has been increased to
four, and they are now traveling
over the State and sending tbe sam
pies in at a rapid rate. The force of
skilled chemists in tbe Fertilizer
Control Station has also been in
creased to meet the extraordinary
emergency caused by the increase of
the number of brands offered for sale
in the State, under tbe new order of
things.
Vaye It Cancentrated Lye.
Durham Sun: Ella Thompson, a
colored girl of about 15 years old, was
arraigned before 'Squires McMannen
and Barbee, this morning on the
charge of giving Mr. Leon Kirk
land's youngest child concentrated
lye in coffee, or coffee in concen
trated lye. She was refused bail and
put in jail until next term of conrt
Tbe child is very much injured and
very sick. Tbe cause for this rash act
is unexplained. This girl talks bat
little.
A Barrel af Hernets' ileili.
Dr. Walter Mullen is known to
fame as the proprietor of the Hor
net's Nest Liniment, and some fel
fow, who had an idea that hornets'
nests formed an important compo
nent part in the manufacture of the
liniment shipped Dr. Mullen a barrel
containing IS nests. Esquire Max
well bought the lot for nse in the
next 20th May shindig.
Mr. Claude McLaughlin who has
been connected with R. A. Lee A Co,
of this city, for sometime past, has
accepted a position as clerk of the
Orton House, in Wilmington. Mr,
Montague made a good selection
that time, as experience will show,
and if such a thing is possible, tbe
Orton will hereafter be still more
popular with the Charlote people.
