pany. There is none better on the road,
it is mnchto 'be' doubted if Barlow and
ilson have their superiors on the stage
in the delineation of rfgro character;
it is worth the price of a ticket to see
Primrose and West in their clog dances.
These four are? possessed of talent
enough, of themselves to afford a fnll
fledged ; entertainment, but the press of
all sections represent that the company
otherwise is exceptionally good this
season. The popularity of the four
leading names in Charlotte would en
sure this troupe a good house . to-night
even if it were lei& Sneritbrions ;than it
is, ana their popularity, landed 'to ,the
popular scale of ibices whicltthey have

Cbarloite Tlioniu&on.
The manner in which the opera
house box-sheet was dotted over yes
terday morning, gave abundant evi
dence of the fact that our people have
not forgotten that this distingushed ar
tiste opens her engagemen there Monday
night. By 10 o'clock all the front row
of balcony seats had been taken. and bv
noon a number of the' choicest of the
orchestra chairs had been reserved. In
evincing thus early their jmrpose to
give Miss Thompson1 a Warm re
ception our people but manifest
that discriminating judgment which
usually marks their patronage of the
drama - Monday, night she gives us
"Jane Eyre," Charlotte Bronte's charm
ing creation, and Tuesday night Sheri
dan' Knowles' Hunchback.' Much of
Miss Thompson's high reputation has
ueen maae in tnete roies, ana to see ner
in the title role of the former and as
"Julia" in the latter is to see an actress
who in the emotional drama has few
superiors on the American stage, and
in these particular characters, none.
Reserved seats can be secured to-day
and Monday; those who want first-class
seats had better engage them early. :
Hadaiue Janaustchek.
The advance agent of the great Jan
auschek, "The Queeen of English Trag
edy," as she has been for so long called,
reached the jcit.y, yesterday and put up a
pari of. his paper., Madame Janau
schek need' no . introduction to the in
telligent necmleibf any community on
the American' continent. Her name is
as familiar as a household word, and
our good fortune in being afforded an
.opportunity to see her will be cordially
appreciated by our people. Her date is
the 17th (next Tuesday week) and we
shall see her celebrated characteriza
tion of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots.
The name of Janauschekj is sufficient
to rill the opera house, and the bills
show that the company which is sup
poi ing her is one of superior talent.
(General Amusement Notes
John T. Raymond played "Col. Sel
lera"in' Charleston last night; and to
day-at a matinee-is to-play ."Risks." We
look. for hinibere-on the 13th,
The B. & W., P. & W. minstrels had
to play against the Great London circus
in Charleston Wednesday and Thursday
nights, and therefore did not have as
large houses as,.they;!w.old otherwise
have drawn. it n --i'
Wilmington had to raise 'money one
time long ago to pay tp, Jefferson's way
out of town.
Madame Janauschek is the owner of
diamonds to the value of $150,000.
The Helen D'Este company broke in
Wilmington and is to be given a benefit
there to-night in order to raise money
to get away. Theyi were expected in
Salisbury to-night and Statesville next
Tuesday night.
Januaschek's magnificent face now
adorns the show windows. That of it
self would draw her a house if she had
not already won a reputation as the
greatest tragedienne on the American
stage.
The Tournament at Statesville and
the Ball Following,
Full details of the tournament at
Statesville day before yesterday ''reach
ed us by yesterday's train. There were
fifteen entries, the knights riding in
the following order:
- J. 1). Kerr, Knight of the Stare and
liars ;
A. Moses, Knight of the Iredell Blues ;
J. L. Scales, Knight of Snowden ;
W. M. Ramsey, Knight of Iredell ;
M. L. Mott) A Gentleman ;
C. W. Stikeleather, Knight of Olin ;
W. G. Boshamer, Knight of the Fire
Company;
L. Hyman, Knight of Germania; -

J. L. Cooper, Knight of Fort Dobbs;
W. B. Brandon, Knight of the Lone
Star ;
L. Wakefield, Knight of Lenoir ;
W. M. Walker, Knight of the South
Mountains;
P. Bailev, Khlght Before Last ;
A. M. Vannoy, Knight of the South
ern Cross.
The charge of Mr. B. F. Long, to the
knights, is spoken of as a model of
taste, and a creditable and appropriate
effort.
The riding was strikingly graceful,
and the steeds of Messrs Mott and Van
noy attracted much attention on ac
count of their beauty and shapeliness.
The successful riders were Messrs.
Mott, 1st; Tomlin, 2d; Bailey, 3d; Bos
hamer, 4th. The coronation took
place at 8 o'clock in the evening at the
opera hall. Mr. Mott crowned as
queen of love and beauty, Miss Maggie
Chambers; Mr. Tomlin named as first
maid of honor Miss Wilfong, of Cataw
ba; Mr. Bailey crowned as second maid
of honor, Miss Katie' Turrentine; Mr.
Boshamer transferred the honor which
he had won to Mr. A. Moses, who
crowned Miss Jeannette Schloss, of
Salisbury, as third maid of honor.
Immediately after- this ceremony the
dancing began. ,,A large crowd was
present; the dressing was noticeably
handsome, and the pleasures of the oc
casion were unalloyed. At 1 o'clock in
the morning- snppervyas served and
thereafter the festivities were resumed
and continued "until s: ; '

Need of rlankingr Facilities.
. The peopleof the western part of this
State suffer much inconvenience from
a lack of banking - - accommodations.
There is an institution ' in -Ashetille
which does somewhat of a banking
business, and with this exception there
is nothing like a bank west Of Char
lotte. Statesville and all the vast terri
tory for which it is the outlet, do is all
its banking business through the
Charlotte banks. This involves heavy
express charges and is otherwise ex
pensive, inconvenient and annoying.

A Reorganization, ,.
The members of! the Horriet'fire com

They expelled several mem

permanent and 'more effective footing
than ever. We are glad to note these
facts and trust that the Hornets in

Kailroad Notes. : . -'.
Another car load of convicts passed
up the Western Xorth Carolina Rail
road W ednesday to work on that famous
tunnel.
The Richmond &. DanS ilJe, Railroad
has within the past year constructed
four iron bridges over streams be
tween Charlotte and Greensloro, and a
force is now employed in building the
fifth, which is to span Swearing creek,
near Lexington.
The finest musician and the finest
shot among the railroad men, who stop
over in Charlotte, are both connected
with the Air-Line.
In the case of Adrian & Vollers, of
Wilmington, against the Richmond &
Danville Railroad for the recovery of
the value of four hogsheads of "mo
lasses destroyed in the famous depot
fire in this city in 1875, which was on
tried in the Superior Court of New
Hanover, resulted in a verdict of 262.

A Night with the Kazor-Pushers.
Yank Xorwood gave a party, and the
colored belles and beaux of the city
gathered there. The fact that the parri
ty was suddenly broken up by a lot of
menriatea barbers, whose bacchanalian
conduct produced the wildest confusion
and dismay among the assembled com
pany, has already been slightly touched
upon. Yesterday morning the details
of the story were laid bare before an
eager crowd by sundry red-eyed wit
nesses, and a few others who had.been,
merely lookers on upon the exciting,
scenes, it will naraiy be interesting to
repeat the story in full. Sufficient to say
that upon an invitation to one of the
party they all yisited Yank's house and
joined in the hilarities. The conduct
of one them provoked the anger of
Y'ank and these two had some sort of?
difficulty. Then all the rest thought
that their friend was being imposed
upon and came to Ids rescue. This
provoked the invited guests to anger,
and they waded in to help their gal
lant host. Chairs and sundry other
handy articles of household use were
converted into implements of war, and
used with energy. A pistol shot .added
tolhe contusion "which by this time
existed, and so the thing went on.
When the policemen finally arrived
and restored order, it was found that
the only injury inflicted was done to-i
lanKs party coat which apparently
had been slit open by a knife in the
hands of some one of the belligerents
unknown
The several cases were fully investi
gated by the mayor, the trial concum
ing about four hours. Finally 14s hon
or ordered fines to be imposed" as fol
lows: Sandy Pagan, Dick Reid and Ed
Sparkling, each, $5 and cost; Lewis
Graves and Jno. Pratt, each, $5 and
cost ; Yank Xorwood, $3 and cost;
Reid and Graves appealed. Gray Toole,
Jno. Schenck and others, charged with
complicity in the same affray, were dis
missed. And thus ended the spree of the bar
bers. Last Nig: lit' Entertainment
Quite- a large and appreciative -audi- -j
ence assembled in ,the. room next door
to the Central ; Hotel office, last even
ing, to hear the execution of the splen
did programme published in yestef-f
day's Observer of the musical en-'
tertainment under the auspices of the
ladies of the Second Presbyterian
chinch. The. programma contained a
fine collection of popular songs, and the
compositions of some of the masters
in the musical art, as well as the names
of many ladies and gentlemen who have
often furnished pleasure and amuse
ment to the1' music-loving public of
Charlotte. It is no exaggeration to say ;
that expectations were fully met in
every particular. The entertainment
was "marked by the first appearance
before the Charlotte public of Prof.
Bidez of the Charlotte Institute for
Young Ladies, whose reputation as an
artist of high talent and culture had
E receded him. The execution of "Schu
