( iox. Vance arrived in the city yes
terday morning and will remain for a
tlav or two. He is registered at the
Central Hotel.
The streets were crowded yesterday,
and if the stores and shop-keepers didn't
work off a good quantity of their wares
and merchandise, things deceived their
looks.
We ask of the police and city authori
ties if there are no means of abating
this infernal nuisance of chasing rab
bits with dogs through the crowded
t reels. .
A school is needed at Matthews' Sta

liberally patronized.,, A number of ar

The colored'Methodist church, of the
African Methodist Episcopal Zion Con

tlie city, on the Charlotte, Columbia &
Augusta Railroad and known. asuhina
Grove, was totally destroyed by fire on
Friday night. Rev. L. S. Hurdle was in
charge of this-ehurcli4ast year, and had
leen re-assigned to it for the confer

V A few days ago a party of three reve

.'Matthews' .Station1 in this county, ten
l miles below Charlotte on the Carolina
1 Central Railroad', and (hitching their
; horses in the woods entered the village
i on foot, all 'from different directions.
One of them dropped , into the store of

Y7e take itrto be almost liiraecessary to
ajrtin remind our people that to-morrow
n light Charlotte Thompson will appear at
the Charlotte opera house. No more
c .1 arming book was ever , written, and
iew more beautiful plays ever put upon
the stage than Jane 'Eyre. The press
in all parts of the country concede that
MissThompson is the true embodiment
of the character, and we hope the
opera house' will 'beu filled to-morrow
night.
The MlnstrelM Last Night.
The Barlow, Wilson, Primrose and
West company .surpassed itself last
night. They had a good house and they
fairly outshone, their former selves.
The singing was delightful; if possible
Primrose and West ;havtf improved in
their clog dancing -si nee they -were with
us last; it is perfect. Wilson and Bar
low are still the inimitable end men.
Wilson is the heavy man of the compa
ny; his characterizations afforded in
finite' amusement. The company is
first-class in every particular. It has
more than met Charlotte's expecta
tions. The Facts About the Killing' of Huff
steller. ' . ' 1
Mr. William Richards, of Richards &
Rhyne, thy parties who operate the Duf
fy mine in Gaston county, where Wil
liam Huffstetler Was killed a few days
ago, called at The Observer office yes
terday to give all the facts in the case.
He'says that When he went ' liOme from
the liudisill mine, near this city, where
he is at present engaged, he found
the hands at the mine nearly all intoxi
cated, and ishortly afterwards a young
man named Woods came there and
tijed to provQke a difficulty with the
engineer. He (Richards) went down to
interfere, and finally induced Woods to
go off. but not until he had attempted to
use a knife on tl e tnginetr. A short
time after this, Woods. .returned to the
mine witd a gun in his hand, which he
drew on hlra (Wmf Richards) and
Mr. Rhyne, saying that he intended to
kill every man on the place. These two
tried to persuade him, to, go , away, but
failing to do this, made some of the
young men go around behind Woods to
take the gun from him. During the
struggle, John Richards, a son of Wil
liam Richards, handed William Huff
stetler a pistol which he had drawn,
j when, Woods was in the act of shooting,
;and when. Huflstetler attempted to put
jit incite pocket, the weapon was dis
charged, the bajl entering his abdomen,
from the effects of which he died, a few
days afterwards. In the scuffle Woods
had some of his teeth knocked out.
Mr. Richards asserts that he did every
thing in his power to prevent a difficul
ty. He attributes Woods' belligerent
conduct to the fact that he hadieen dis
charged from the mine sonie weeks be
fore the occurence, j ., 1

Society Notes and Personals.
There is some little talk of an at
tempt to re-organize the reading club.
It ought certainly to be done. Let the
married people take the matter in
charge.
- Among the young lady Visitors in the
city at present are Miss Nora Thomp
son, of Wilmington, with Miss Clara
Yates ; Miss Addie Avery, of Morgan
ton, with Miss Annie Jones, and Miss
Coffin, of Salisbury, with Miss Louise
Young. ' " ''
An interesting marriage will take
place in Grace church, .Morgan ton this
week. The bride and groom expectant
having many friends in different parts
of the State.
Miss Minnie Phifer, of this city, vis
iting Miss Fuller, of Danville, Va., was
one of the attendants at a recent fash
ionable marriage in that place.
Riding on the race track at the fair
grounds is growing very popular. A
half dozen teams were whirling around
there a few evenings ago. The only
unpleasant feature connected with the
amusement is the bad road between the
city and the grounds.
Something altogether novel in : Char
lotte in the line of vehicles, is one
which appeared on the streets a few
evenings since. The seats are arranged
so that the occupants sit with their
backs towards each other.
It is said that some of the knights
who distinguished themselves on the
field' of the "recent tournament in States
ville, when about to confer the crowns
they had won, could exclaim with Hen
ry V, "I have no strength in measure,
yet a reasonable measure in strength,-
but before God I cannot look
greedy, nor gasp out any eloquence, nor
have 1 do cunning in protestations."

Statesville, and will remove to-his new

It would be interesting to know even
approximately What' proportion ' of the
people of Charlotte attend church.
Won t some enterprising cnurch mem
ber undertake to make the' average for
a half dozen or more Sundays?
If it is determined to sell the pres

done, all the churches will be within

The Statesville American says Col. R.
L. Patterson, of Salem, has not pur
chased the Wilkesboro Witness.
The News says Lincoln is very much
opposed to the formation of a new
county out of parts of itself, Catawba,
Burke and Cleaveland.
The mountains, as seen from Morgan

The Black mountain looks like a solid
snow bank.
The Blade says some sneak thief en

$12 or $15 in silver.
The Lincoln Progress complains that
all the jurors selected from that county
and Gaston for the approaching term of
the Federal court in Charlotte are Re
publicans, and inquires if this court in
tends to disfranchise Democrats as
jurors.
The western editors are exchanging
the compliments of the season. The
Asheville Pioneer calls the editor of
the Hendersonville Courier a fool and
the Courier alludes to the editor of the
Pioneer in a passing way as "that jack
ass." Raleigh News, of Friday : A gentle
man from Montgomery county called at
the State geological museum and exhib
ited the most uniquely beautiful speci
mens of gold quartz ever seen there.
The quartz, in the form of crystals, was
held together by a network of pure gold,
so that it seemed an artificial, not a
natural production.
The Lincoln Progress savs that David
Medley, one of the parties arrested as
an accomplice m the highway robbery
of Burwell Martin, of Caldwell, as he
passed through Lincoln, county last Sat
urday night, was taken before Judge
Schenck on a bench warrant Friday,

sufficient to inculpate him.
