A Terrlbl Fat Overtake a MecklenburK County Kegro Run Oyer by the Carolina Central' Fast Train. Somebody walking along the track of tbe Carolina Central road, four miles east of the city, early Sunday morning, was shocked to find the track strewn with the fragments of the body of a colored man. News of the And was sent to the city, and Dr. Wilder and coroner Cathey prompt ly reported at the scene. It turned out that the fragmentary remains were those of a negro named Wilson Wallace, who lived 8 miles east of the city. He had been run over and killed by the fast passenger train from Raleigh, due at Charlotte at 10:30 p. m. The evidence shows that Wallace was in the city Saturday afternoon, and left here about 8 o'clock at night. on the return to his home. He was pretty full of whiskey, and like the general ran of men in that couditioD, he took the railroad track In prefer ence t" the public road. Capt Geo. Shutmouhouse was conductor of the train which Wallace encountered. uid Mr. Harvey Lewis was the eu- glnoer. The negro must have fallen prostrate between the crossties, for the engineer did not see him, and was not aware of having run over the man until informed of the finding of the body. The negro was terribly eut up, and portions of his body were strwn along the track for 30 yards r more. Coroner Cathev empanell ed a Jury of inquest consisting of Messrs UK Jenkins, C C Jeukins, V F Cathey, W L Pharr, J T Shel lon and C M Coffin, and after a full investigation, the Jury arrived at a verdict thai the deceased came to his deatli by being run over by a Carol! ua ( Yntral train. SOW WE'LL MAKE U ISO II A MB. Another New and Very Important Manu facturing; Enterprise for Charlotte. The News has away peculiarly its own in digging for news, and It brings something real good to the surface to-day. Charlotte's four big cotton mills are to be flanked by a manufacturing enterprise of still greater importance, a mill of 5t0 looms for the manufacture of ginghams. This new enterprise, like all the others, is due mainly to home money and brains, though with that unsel flshuesa that has always character ized our homo people, they have al lowed northern capitalists a share in the stock. The company to build the gingham mills is to be incorporutt d on a basis of $125,0X).&nd $K),(HHI have already been subscribed. Among the leaders In this enterprise ar.- VOVXTV Alt At 11 a.
