Reduction in the Price of Gas. The Gentennial Gas Light Company has reduced the price of its gas to $1 per 1,000 feet, which is to say that, it has made it cheaper than day light.

It will lay additional pipes in different sections of the city, and enter upon its: part of the con tract as soon cs possible.

No Money of Ilia Deposited Here. , Speaking of FleiniDg aliat Fortune, who forged quite a number of notes on different banks in Charleston, and secured a good deal of money thereby, the Columbia cor respondent of the Charleston News and Courier, says : - "His Charleston victims may be interested to know that he is said to haye leit a large sum on deposit in the First Nat ional Bank, or some other ene of Charlotte, N. C.' 'Thia is a mistake. Fortune has.no money deposited in any bank of this city. He need to be around here a good deal, hav ing had a 'contract at one lime on the Caro lina Central Railroad, and subsequently on 1 the Spartanburg A Asheville Road, bnt in those days was always "on the bbrrow,"and besieged the banks a good deal for this pur-poser--- - ' Rumored Changes of Schedules. The Charlotte. Columbia fc Augusta Rail road is endeavoring to effect an arrangement with its connections, to enable it to change its schedule so as to connect with the fast expression the PiedmontAir Line There are quite a nnmber of these connecting lines, however, and some difficulty is had in mak ing the desired arrangements with all of them. It is hoped nevertheless, to have tie plans consummated so that the change can be I made on 8unday, 30th mst. It will satell hours between Augusta and New York. We spoke.ycsterday.of the likely hood of the removal from the North Carolina Railroad of the train which arrives at 9:20 P M and leaues at 5:55 A M.; we are aesared that these trains will not be discontinued until the change in the schedule of the Charlotte Columbia it Augusta Railroad, as spoken of above, Is made. As soon as this change u made, trains No 3 and 4 on the North Caro lina Railroad, will certainly be taken off. as they will have no connection whatever at Charlotte with any road. Absorption of the 3. & X. Telegraph Company. The absorption of the Southern and At lantic Telegraph Company,' which was an nounced some weeks go and then denied, has been consummated. Iastractioas to that efiect have been received in this city, and while the Southern and Atlantic office, in the Central Hotel building, is still ork ing, it is operating only as a branch office of n WMbrn Union whirh u nniW wHa Pegram's shoe store, in the First National Bank building, and both offices are under the control of Mr RE Duke, the manager of the Western Union. . Very soon, probabjy after to-day, the wires of the Southern and Atlantic Company will be run into the of - fice of the Western Union, and there will be bnt one main telegraph office in Char- lotte. . . , "It is raid that the retult of this consolida tion will be to reduce the expenses of the Western Union and thus enable it to reduce its rates. We have authority for saying al ready, that there will bcr a redaction of ten cents at o'nee upon every message received in this city,' and it is expected that a further reduction will be made very soon: It is to be hoped that this, is true, . but it will be arrange if it is.

As the train dashed up to the Air Line Depot, a porter cried "Charlotte !" and before these passen gers could possibly get out of their seats and berths and reach the door, the train had stopped and startedlofF again.! It .tdid not stand still for half-a minute, and in the twinkling of an oye', was whirling off at lightning speed. Not one of the nine pas sengers got off, and by the time one of them could get to the conductor and ask for an explanation, he was told that Charlotte was a mile behind and that they would have to go on to Spartanburg, which was the first stopping place. The. passengers protested and the conductor relented and promised to let them off at Gaston ia. As the train reach ed that point they were dumped off, in the woods, and there remained all day, coming into Charlotte last evenins at 6 o'clock on the freight train. A letter was written to Ccl Peck, protest ing against such treatment. It is all wrong Passengers should not be made to suffer be cause, for some reason, not chargeable to tbem, a train is behind time. In this in stance some of the party were ladies and there were children in the number. "Who was the conductor and what explanation has he to offer ? If this is not t e true ver sion of the story, we stand realy to give him a hearing. COMMUNICATIONS. Interesting Inquiries. Messes Editors . Gentlemen Will you do us the fuvor to answer a few plain questions? We i l cer tain that many of your numerous reuders are interested. We atk for information without intending to ttrike any particular person or party. 1st, Is there any law in North Carolina to punish persons guilty of fraud and embez zlement? Is or is there not a marked distinction in the laws between , getting goods under false pretences, or returning them under false pre tences, having gotten them legitimately? If the grand jurors is sworn to make pre sentments of all ' violation common law, then if they unanimously make a present ment, has the Solicitor of the district the right to suppress the finding, by failing to send a bill ?
