They of course carried with them the wagon and its load, which consisted of several bushels of meal and flour, which had just been ground. Mr. Troutman made a narrow escape by jumping from the wagon just be fore it was precipitated into the water below. Indies' Hebrew Benevolent Sjciety.

The strange character whom we described in our issue of Thursday, has shaken the dust of Charlotte from off bis feet, as a tes timony acainst the city. He did not lecture on Thursday night, for the reason that only two or three appeared to hea r him, and his wrath was enkindled more than a little. Yesterday morning 'he arose and left the hotel about 7.30 o'clock, sayine that he was eoine after some tobacco. Some time after that, the Messrs Hollis, the proprietors of the hotel, received a note from him saying that be had gone to Columbia, and to take care of his baggage until Saturday, when he would pay for it. He left behind hima I doublafrel'sbot guhu a, shot pouch and i powder flask; valise, &c., more than enough I to remunerate the proprietors of the hotel, even if he should never return. We; how j ever, do not partake of the general opinion that he is a "fraud," when this word is used I in the sense of a dead-beafc, ; and we have nb ldea'that he intends to, ' defraud any one. He is a curious character, and , we., are not I able to determine, in our own mind, Jttst what manner of man he is;1 I .?V" ,"" ""T.

The Court is sitting under the habeas corpui-act, as- if the crime had been committed in North Carolina, Col Jones, of counsel for the defence5,, con tende4, that his , client was , not t sfugitive fim-ljosiice jNorth Carolina ;' that t ever inoerhfe bs. benJn:thjsSijte,e,haatitt)er been bound- by'-oordj -br ini prh6n.-and hence it oould'not be that he was & fugitive from justice: I He said that the extrad ition laws applied ti the'ease, ffhd 'that the' au thorities of the State of Georgia had a right to fcemand tbe body of Fitner of the author ities of this State. . Counsel cited the caw of Brat ton as analagous ; here. . tbe prisoner! though a citizen of the United Stated, had been seized in Canada, and when the Brit ish government demanded his return, the daniand was acceded to. The Court did not agree with counsel, and said the case was only a question of fact, if the prosecution could show probable guilt, that was the only matter that needed to be established. Wm McKenzit was sworn : He said that he was the conductor of the train which caused the accident ; left Columbia on the 17th with a train -of eight empty cars for Augusta; and was" following 10 minutes be hind tbe regular schedule upon which Capt Sprinkle was .running. At Rich Spring I noticed from, hisetaggeiringj while oih'ng the and in consequence of this J got on the en gine, saw the fireman hand Fetner tbe cup which was kept on the enciae to diink water out of, but do not know what was in the cup. Smelt whiskey. Following be hind Sprinkle's train, I could sometimes see the red lights on the rear car for a mile and a balf.accordingto the grade. About 500 yards from Bacon's, where tbe train which we were following went into the side track. I saw teem way ine us down, and called Fetner's attention to the fact. He put his left hand on the lever of the whistle and his head out of the window, but did not blow. When we were about 150 yards from the switch, I taw we were going to have an ac cident, and ca led out, "Jim, for God's sake (top !'' Just then he blew his whistle, and 1 jumped to the brake ot tbe engine and put it on. As soon as tbe crash came, I went down as fr as Sprinkle's engine, then re turning walked to the rear of my own train and sat down for' 10 or 15 minutes on the crogs ties. I haven't seen Fetner since the accident until now. 'I do not know wheth er he was intoxicated or not. Tbe train co.;!d have been stopped in 250 yards Cross examined : We had a liubt train of six cars; my tram was about the same length as that of Capt Sprinkle's : it had eight double brakes on it and three train hands. It miprht perhaps have been stopped within 100 yards. I saw nothing to indicate that FtinoT was drunk, and I thought he bad control of his engine. Conductors are charged with the control of thtir trains. The rules ot the road require that when a train runs On to a Bide track, that it shall close the switch after it and throw it on the main line. I had nothing more to do with my train after the accident, I left fearing that the passengers might do me some harm. By Capt Butwell : It was near the time for the up train from Augusta to arrive at the turn out. I was running on schedule. By Col Jones : My train and Sprinkle's, though called portions of one tram, were each under a separate and distinct manage ment. Capt W J Sprinkle examined . At 2 min utes to 6 o'clock I went in the side track, flagging the train behind; In a very . shoit time Iaaw tbe other train coming, and re marked to my switchman that he was com ing too fast ; to wave him 'down.,' He did so.but the speed or the tram am not siacxenj As it got nearly up I seized the switch and tried to, throw it on the mair track, but by this time the engine had struck the side rails and I failed.. Fetner blew brakes 30 or 40 feet from my train and after be had crossed the switch. - A little boy, Charlie Nightin gale, of Brunswick- a:; Was killed in' the wreck.

Wduld have fe t some apprehension,. He feetd that tbe accident was one wb4ch might have occurred ;to any men, and that Sprinkle was as blameable , in. the matter as his client. . , , , ; . - Capt Bur well closed the argument, oppos ing all tbe grounds assumed by. Col Jone3. He labored to show that it was a case of reckless disr-gard of human life, and that the engineer and conductor had no right to suppose that the switch was on the main track; even if they had, they had no right to crosg it at the rate at which they were funning,, and especially. .when they .knew that a train was then almost due, &c, Ac. His Honor referred to the remark of coun sel for the, defence that no lives were so much imperiled by this occurrence' as th of the engineer and conductor of the train behind, and said that in this he saw ad ex cuse; A man may count his own, life at whatever price he may chose, but no one has the right to set the price upon another human life.,. He held it a case of gross neg-. ligence, and hence would recommit the pris oner. Fetner was accordingly remanded to the custody of the Sheriff. ' : Mr Canton went on to Raleigh last night with the requisition, and will perhaps re turn in a few days and carry Fetner to Co lumbia. The following' extract from the Atlanta Constitution, of Thursday, is a part of this case which is of interest. Referring to the arrest of Fetner in Georgia without warrant, the Constitution asks, "is it kidnapping?' and adds: Under section 4357 of the code, this arrest and carrying away of, Fetner is a clear case 01 kulnappmg,.fpr which the parties ray be indicted, and, if convicted, sentenced to the penitentiary tor from penitentiary for from four to seven yeoa proper application beinz made to Covernor Smith it is believed he will reauLre the return of Fetner to this State. "The railroad engineers are considerably excited over the affair." The Japs at the Opera House. Quite a fair house greeted the appearance of our Oriental brethren, the Royal Yeddo Japanese Troupe, at the Opera House last evening. To say that their pwtormances were wonc erf ul. does, not begin to convey tbe idea; they were marvelous .and nothing short of it. As has been remarked, "there is nothing, tame about it." It is as good in One feature as another. The balancing is the most as'onishing we ever saw, and the feats of juggling are Unsurpassable. Tbe older boys are contortionists of the highest order. They are as limber as a dish-rag when they want to be limber, and as stiff as a poker when they want to be stiff. Little Que is perhaps the most remarkable character of all, taking age into consideration. His per formances on the screen and the bamboo pole, drew forth the warmest applause, and in the latter act the wonderful endurance of Gangero was shown to great advantage. It is a splendid entertainment, end the audi ence last night was delighted. We cannot speak of it in detail and there is no occasion to da so any way, ail is so good. A Uurglar Convicted. Randolph Sutton, colored, who was tried at Cabarrus Court, dsy before yesterday, for burglary, in entering the store of Mr Cooper of Randalsbnrg, in this county, was convict-, ed. The penalty for this offense, under tbe present laws of North Carolina, is death, and this sentence wi 11 probably be meted out to Sutton, though our latest advices say the Judge withheld the sentence for the present.
