VOLUME V. CHARLOTTE, 0.. TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 28, 1891. NUMBER 731 -SEIGLE'S- NOTIONS. -o o A few words in reply to the questions con- Wkrfh goods, our variety of which is lemon. to wy that it is the choicest and richest lot we have ever shown. We' e said the same of v each auccessive exhibition for four years and told exact troth every time. 'fbe French designers have surpassed them selvea this year. Conventional geometrical things are out and fresh air fancies are in. Carnations behind the burs, pinks imprison ed in stripes. "Her eyes dey vos Himiiiel blue," you say as you look at a new blue ground, unlike anything else yet seen. The X..ifi...l kioaanm of the bsv wirterrr. and the wild flowers of field and wood art all levied upon for the patterns while the inven tion of the artists shows much originality in ' figures and colors. Black grounds with white fijrores), white grounds with black liitiires, gray grounds with many figures, duhlia rounds with purple figures. Surely the must ItiaUdious need not despair. Anderson's Ginghams for 8pring arc here in full assortment snd the already rich va riety of India Bilks is made richer by daily additions. Remember that here Linen is all made of flax. Neither ignorance, carelessnet nor in tention ever permits cotton or mixtures of cotton and flsx. The great list of linen bar gains with which we began the month repre sented t,000. It's lees now, but plenty you. Muslin Underwear. Cwerning Muslin fndorwear something additional neeila to be said. The great wile have of counte, produced some echoes, and trtere is competition. That's healthy we like it. But a careful comparison of the gar ments you may buy here with the entire niar- ef, item by item and price by price, gives so mitive an advantage to our goods that we tiiiiy ask you to satisfy your doubts, if you a ive anv, by jioiial comparison. The more skillful and intelligent the judgment tlie more sure are we of a verdict in our fa vor. This Muslin Underwear Stock has not n old cannent In it. In iwinu of materials. trimmings, sewing. shapes and sizes it lias no equals at the prices. The satisfaction that comes to buyers by getting so large value for so little money must result to our permanent credit. Writ to as for what you want. T. L Seigle & Co. No. 11 W.

Wittkawsky has returned from the northern and eastern mark ets, where he placed orders for tils ' fall stock of goods. The farmers are too busy in the! fields this flue weather to come to' town. Only 12 bales of cotton were ; brought In by wagon today. There will be a meeting of Ex-j celslor Lodge No 261. A. F. & A. M.. ' this evening. Brethreu cordially Invited; 2ud degree to te conferred. Kvangllst Fife's meetings com-; mencml InHalishtiry last Sunday. He is drawing large crowds there and the people are uilo well pleased with him. Joseph E. Johnston memorial services were held in nearly nil tho towns In the State last Sunday. : Charlotte was strangely remiss in this particular. , Who Is right? The Raleigh Christian Advocate places the mini- i lier of Mr. Fife's conversions at that place, at from 30 to 4(1. The State Chronicle figures it out at 300. There is evidently a mistake somewhere. Mr. Chas. Adams to-day received orders for tickets for the Music Fes tival from parties in several of the adjacent towns. There w ill be a big crowd here during the festival days, and there's no doubt ulniut that. The business stand occupied so long by the late John T. Butler, is being remodeled and improved and will bo connected with the Racket Store adjoining. This new addition will give Mr. Oavis a very large in crease of floor space. The4C's Company will have a sale of lots In Cbarlotteou May IMlli Quite an elaborate programme Is being arranged for the iOth celebra- ; tiou, and Thk Nkws' out of town ; readers may at ont o make up their minds to come and have a good time. TtlK Nkws finds It expedient to issue another small supplemental sheet todnv. Our advertising col. umns are being pretty severely taxed. aud we endeavor to do the best we cau nurfer the circumstances for the Interests alike of the advertiser and the reader. A MAN. A man told us the other day that his cotton was coming up so fast that he could hear the earth cracking all around as the seed sprouted, and a man not acquainted with that music would think the demons were pur suing him, and hustle. Now we can't vouch for this statement, but you can hear the cotton cord pop ping a, we continue wrapping the many packages that pass from us every day, and from the way our Grenadines are selling we will He the farewell knot over the last yard this week. Nothing common or dingy about them ; In waiter spots, croscuts, dots, polid twist, fancy and plain. We can suit you fancy. T. Li. -ULo TUB JSASZ.TCLOSIXU OF STOMES.

A mau named Sim Conoley, living near Maxtou, in Robeson county wss brutally murdered by an unknown man. E.

Conoley I through the kiudness of hi-i heart j walked a short distance with the I strange niun, who was on foot, to i j show him the house of Mr. Wilkes. I w hich was in wight, across the field. ! They had not gone far before the j man, who was evidently a white man in disguise, drew his pistol and shot M r. Co..oley twice in the head. Mr. Conoley was a bachelor, alwrnt forty-five, who had his mother antl sifter living with nun, ami I they heard the pistol shots, j bnt never felt any alarm until ' a late hour. Mr. Conoly failed to re . turn, and, being all alone, they were i unable to make search before morn i lug. when the murdered man was I found not far from his house with ' two halls in his head. The dead was ; not committed for the purpose of i robbery, as Mr. Conoly was a tuan j of ordiuary moans, juiet and inof fensive, atxl the greatest mystery clusters around the crimo. Heath of MJ. Win.

This is the last day of the scram ble for the Meclenburg county bonds, and the scramble has been a lively one, for a fact. As has been noted in The News $195,000 of the $300,000 Is sue of the new 6's, were disposed of yesterday to dilTereut - parties at 100). The demand for the remain ing, was very brisk and the commissioners conl I have disposed of double that amount of bonds, had they had them at their disposal. At the meeting this after noon, bids were received from seven different parties, all olTering 101 .'-4' for the remainder of the bonds. Opening at 101 '4, the bidding grew lively at once, and increased steadily until 1024 wa9 reached. At fiat fig ure the entire remaining itssue of $106,000 was closed out. Mrs. M. A. Jacksou (Mrs. (ieneral Htonewall) got $4,000 of the bonds. Mr. J. C.Rurroughs got $30,000. Mr. C. Hilker got $3,000. Mr. H. O. Springs got ijliio.ooo. The premium realized on the en tire sale of the $300,000 in bonds is $3,337.50, or $337.50 over one (1) per cent The commissioners are to be congratulated on the succcs-f of the sale. Who Will Entertain iueU? The indications are that the num ber of visitors to Charlotte for the Musical Festival on May 5th and 6th will be far in excess of the hotel ca pacity, and It will be necessary fur the boarding houses, aud private houses as well, to throw open their door. Mr. Eccles, of the Central, in forms Thk Nkws that lie already has twice as many applications for hoard as he had for the June Festi val last year, aud this fact is signifi-, cant of the crowd to le expected. I The proper accommodation of the j crowds of visitors is an important! one, and to facilitate matters, This1 News will publish free of cost a list j of all boarding houses a d private' families who will throw open their I doors for the entertainment of guests. I The only conditiou is that Thk' News is not to be required to hunt j up aiHrcompile the list. I he names must be sent to the ottice of The! News, ami they will be published. It looks to ns like this o;ight to be a fair bargain The In H unteravllle. Thk News' correspondent at Hun- tersville writes to-dwy : M r. and M rs. i David Hamilton, of Philadelphia.' Pa., are visiting here. I Mrs. James Jordan, of Raleigh, i visiting her mother, Mrs. 11 u titer. j Mrs. Ben Terrell is stopping for a few days in towu and is the guest of M r. an M rs. R. B. Hunter. His honor J. W.

Vaupelt died here last night of consumption, aged ;;0 years. His body will be buried al Rethpage. Cabarrus county, to-day. The Mint Mreet t nrbini: Along the tiov- ernnient lroerty. ! The contractor who secured the' job of curbing and paving the grounds of the government building in this city was stopped yesterday : by Mr. Rin.haii.in, one of the Mint street property owhts, who didn't ; like the way the line of curbing on Mint street was being run. Contin- I ued on down Mint street for a block' or t wo, the curbing, hs started from1 the corner of Tryon and Mint street. ;, would run directly into the jail. This ; line was evidently wrong. The line of curbing on Mint street will there j fore be changed and set in a foot or two. ' Mi. ' F.

A I" refutation to Mr. Talcott. The railroad men to-day present ed Mr. O. R. Talcott, late superinten dent of the Charlotte,, Columbia A Augusta road, with a handsome tes timonial in the shape of a gold watch and chain. The presentation was made in Columbia, by Mr. Thos. Ber nard, engineer of maintaiuauce of way, as thespokesman of a commit tee of railroad men. Capt T. S. Clarkson was one of tho committee and was present at the presentation. The watch is an elegant Howard, the finest watch made aud is most ar tistically engraved. Ou the front case is the monogram U. R. T., and on the back case the figures 1801. Ou the inside of the case is the inscrip tion: Presented to Superintendent O. B. Talcott, by the employees of the 8. C, AC. A (1., Division or the Richmond A Danville Railroad com pany, April 15, 1891." The chain is furnished with a diamond studded charm, upon which is also eugtaved the monogram (i. R. T. The watch cost $300, and was furnished through Boyne A Badger, of Charlotte. All the engraving was doue by Mr. Hal Smith, Boyne A Badger's special ist, and it is exceedingly well done. In fact it cannot be excelled any where, and nnny who have seen the watch could scarcely be brought to believe that the engraving was doue here in Charlotte. The Fund for Advertising Charlotte. Messrs. R. M Miller, Jr., E. M. An drews and M. C. Mayer, the commit tee appointed to raise funds to bu used in advertising Charlotte, have so far met with encouraging success, having secured between $6,000 and $9,000. The sum neeeed is $10,00o. The members of the committee are all business men, and it will be im possible for them to see everybody. The plan to adopt is for those who desire to subscribe to send a postal card to either member of the com mittee stating the amount the writer is willing to contribute. In this way matters will be greatly facilitated. The birds-eye view of Charlotte will be in the hands of the lithogra phers in a few days, ami that map will in itself be u great adveitise meut lor Charlotte. The Guard at the Jail. the impression seems to prevail that no guard is placed over Biab ham at the jail. While the military company has been w ithdrawn a de tail has been appointed to stand guard a; the jail until after the exe cution of Brabham. It is well for this to be understood for some good fellow might go there and get hurt. A buyer of cheap clothes is sure to be sold in every w av. Ours are not cheap, at least In workmanship. For instance look at the all wool cheviot suits we are selling for $7.50. They are silk faced, w ell made and lined aud will show you what n sav ing we can make you as compared with prices elsewhere.
