Fatal Accident.
We "learn that on Friday, a fatal acci

of that name. He was packing a bale of
cotton, and after the screw had been raised,'
was bending over the box fixing the.bagging,
When the pin which held the sinker broke
and caused it to fall upon him, from a height
of twelve feet. He was crushed to death al
most instantaneously.
Mr. Knox was an excellent citizen, and
was justly held in high esteem by the peo
ple of his neighborhood. He leaves a wife
and four children, . Mr. Knox was a brother-in-law
of Capt, JfT. Coit, of this city.

The Natiuee Yesterday Afternoon.
Those of our citizens who missed the mat
inee yesterday afternoon, have something to
regret, and those who attended: were amply
repaid. There was an excellent house, and
the performance was simply charming.
In Miss Putnam's rendition of "The Child
of the Regiment," her style and grace of ac
tion, her childish manner and sprightly
gayity, were sufficient to draw out substan
tial evidences of appreciation. Shejwas per
fectly enchanting, and while at one part of
the performance she would cause bursts of
laughter, at another she would thrill her
listeners with some fine sentiment or touch
ing refrain, until they were moved to tears.
She has not appeared in this city in any
character to greater advantage, than as " Ihe
Child of the Regiment."
The whole, cast was excellent, and we
would like to speak individually, of other
characters than the star. Miss Putnam's
character songs were received with great en
thusiasm, especially " Come, Birdie Come."
The " Gun Song " and others, areentitled
to special mention.
Little "Dot," as "Captain JklCs, of the
horse marines," convulsed the house with
laughter. She well deserved the applause
accorded her.
Fire Yesterday Morning1.
About 9 o'clock yesterday morning, the
fire alarm was sounded, and in a moment
the whole city was agog. It was ascertained
ere long, that the flames proceeded from the
residence of Henry B. Williams, Esq., on
South Tryon street, near the Stateayille Rail
road. The citizens and the firemen
turned out with great promptitude, but not
in time to save the house, which, with all
the outbuildings, was totally destroyed. The
Yellow Jacket Company was the first on the
spot, but owing to the lack of water supply
in that section of the city, was unable to
render any service. The Independent Hook
and Ladder Company came soon after the
other, and was efficient, as usual, in so far
as it was possible for it to be.
The fire originated in the kitchen. A de
fective Sue caused the fire in the stove to
communicate itself to the roof, and though
it was discovered in time to have saved the
whole property, had the sQpply of water
been adequate, as the case was, the only
thing left to be done was to save as much of
the furniture as possible, before the fire
reached the house. Fortunately, all this
was rescued from the flames, through ihe
unremitting labors of the firemen and citi
zens, ihe buudings destroyed were: the
residence, kitchen, well house, wash house
and wood house. The loss amounts to $2,
500. and there was not a dollar of insurance
upon it. The family which was thus, in an
hour's time, rendered entirely homeless, has
been provided for by relatives and friends.
We are requested to return" thanks to one
and all, who rendered services on the occa
sion, but especially to one. family which as
sisted in removing the furniture and took
care of it after Its removal. The loss falls
heavfly upon Mt. Williams and the whole
community sympathize with him in his
great misfortune. He is a poor paan. and
one of our. oldest citizens, and there is none
in the city more worthy than he. ;
The Carolina Central Bail way Trouble
Among Some of the Officials.
The Superintendent of the Carolina Cen
tral Railway was arrested "on a peace war
rant, issued by Justice Cassiday, on Wednes
day evening, and required to giye bond in
the sum of $500 to keep the peace and for
his personal appearance at the present term
of the Superior Court. ' The arrest was made
on the affidavit of Mr JO Bowden, who-
charges that defendant, having secured the
right of way through his property; was" about
commencing to run the track of the road
mentioned through the. same without com
plying with the law in such cases, which
requires that Commissioners appointed - for
' the purpose shall assess the damages. to such
propertyand that such assessment shall be
duly confirmed and the money tendered be
fore' work can be commenced; also that after
such assesment is made either party has a
right to appeal to the Superior Court and noe
work can be prosecuted on the land of th

A Mental Xe2usim or an
s'lonl
Optical Illti-
A certain young raan of this city, has
been suffering for several days with sore
eyes, and, when at his- tragi nessf has been
wearing green spectacles. Day before y es
ter4y wba ha weiithn,tocjBanher, he
took off his eye glrfBSfef T&iifiU after dinner,
leaving them on the mantle piece. When
he started back up street, he picked up what
he supposed were his glasses, and shortly
after going to work, complained that his
eyes pained him and the glasses didn't seem
natural. He swore he believed he was go
ing stone blind, and in great tribulation,
went upstairs, got in bed, and, turning his
face to the wall, bemoaned his fate. '
He got up, however, and went to supper,
to find that he had been wearing the glasses
of the man of the house an old gentleman
of about 60 years of age.
His eyes are well, now.
The Opera House last Evening.
The Katie Putnam Troupe gave its con
cluding performance last evening to a full
house of delighted auditors. Miss Putnam's
rendition of the role of ".Little Barefoot" was
simply captivating, while through the en
tire piece her versatile talent was exhibited in
most brilliant colors ; at one moment sad
with grief, at the next thrown into a vortex
of ecstasy, she always preserved her fascina
ting manners and made her delineation more
perfect by an utter abscence of affectation.
Her voice is sweet and bird-like, and the
songs incidentally produced during the play
were well appreciated, as attested by the
continual applause she received. Her sup
port is quite good and the orchestra accom
panying her the best that has ever visited
our city.
Our people see this company leave, with
regret. It has been handsomely patronized
here, and if it were id remain a week longer.
would draw a good house every night. We
hope that, wherever Miss Putnam goes, she
will be as well received as she has been in
Charlotte, and it gives us pleasure to here
record her promise to visit us again at no
distant day.
Employees.
At the opening of the new year, in peculi
arly hard times, a word of adyice to clerks,
apprentices, laborers, in fact employees of all
classes, is fitting. It may be briefly put thus
''Stand by the skip?' The head of every
factory, store, shop, or establishment of any
kind, is head in a double sense ; he is not
only the director of its affairs, but the thinker
for the interests of all. Every carelessness
that nrakes him lose a few dollars, by break
age of machinery, spoiling of material, dam
aging of goods, tools or fixtures, offending a
customer, missing a sale, or otherwise, re
duces his money power to meet his engage
ments and also renders him, by the worry,
less able to meet each day's necessities with
a strong heart and a clear head.
The temper in which employees work is,
therefore, of great importance to him in hard
times. If they do their tasks negligently
and grudingly, he finds a series of leaks con
stantly draining away his resources, many
of them too small for him to give much time
to correcting, yet together doing him grave
harm. On the other hand, if the employees
watch for opportunities to save and avoid
loss : if they strive to watch oyer the em
ployer's interests, to point out to him in
their several departments means whereby ex
penses may be lessened or avoided ; if they
show a readiness to work steadily, to quicken
their labors, and work extra hours, if neces
sary, to enable him to meet his engagements,
to replace each other when accident may re
quire; do their work with alacrity and care,
his task is far easier, his mind is much, freer,
his power to meet and surmount difficulties
is much greater. Therefore we advise em
ployees never to forget that it is to their in
terest that the concern to which they belong
should prosper, and that every shortcoming
of their's endangers its prosperity. Let them
study in every honest way to advance its in
terests. Employees may not recognize these
efforts at first, but even before they do, it
will help to keep all at work and each will
thus be helping all to avoid that idleness
which wastes their savings. But, besides,
employers are certain, soon or late, to recog
nise this devotion and to. reward it accord
ingly. ITew Advertisements.
