When they go to revise the catechism we want to submit an answer to the question, AVho is the meanest man? and for fear of being too late about it we will submit it now. He is a Charlotte man. He promised his wife $d' if slie would not buy a certain breastpin which she wanted; she accepted the proposition, and then he turned around jind bet her 5 that North Carolina would whip in the cock main, and won 1 lie money. At It Again. The colored barber, Sandy Pagan, who iigured so extensively here a few months ago in the battles of the bar bers, has gone to Chester S. C, and-th Reporter says that last Monday he went into the bar-room of a man named Ellis in that town and began making violent and threatening demonstrations when Ellis, who appears to be a man, without any foolishness about him, drew a pis tol and sent a ball whizzing through the young man's throat, lodging it in the back of his neck. The ball was extract ed but the wound is a serious one. A arrow Escape from a Terrible D1m aster. The passengers on the Carolina Cen . ral train which came in last night riar Jwly escaped a dreadful fatality, a short distance below Polkton yesterday. The train was composed of the usual ii umber of passenger cars and a half doz en or more freight cars. As it was com ing down the grade and turning the eurve near the first of two trestles across small stream.theforemost truck of the inst-class car jumped the track. As soon as the conductor felt the jar, he pulled the bell cord and the brakes were l,ut on and the engine1 reversed; as quickly as possible, but owing to the length of the train, and the rate at v inch it was going, it was impossible to stop it before the trestle was reach ed Some of the passengers looked out hiiu saw the danger, and two of them leaped from the car. The first trestle' was cleared and still the train did not su p. The jarring caused by the1 wheels Jinnping over the cross-ties added tor uie confusion "and alarm among the passengers. The next trestle, less than hity yards distant,' was reached, and it was not until the trucks had jumped Ji f teen or twenty of the cross-ties on tpis, that the train 'came to a standstill. hen the passengers got out, they re alized the danger through , which they had passed. Tlie wheels had broken may of the cross-ties on both trestles. and were then resting within a.few inches of the end. The escape was al most miraculous. One of the r passen gers who jumped from tlve train . was Mr. W. J. Orr who, it will be remem bered, was one of the sufferers from the Fishing creek disaster on the Charlotte,' Columbia & Augusta road . over a year a go. Neither he nor the other- gent le-' men who jumped from the train receiv ed any injury, , r" 0 Victory forlfortn. Carolina bat' Close riffbt. - -" Almost the same faces which appear-" ed in the cock pit day before yesterday were again there on the last day f the fight, but they wore more anxious and; excited expressions, especially towards the close, ot the main. A iew being unable to stand the pressure of demor alization resorted to the winie cups, and hence the order was not so good as on the first day, though there were no dis turbances. ; " ' :'- ' "-',! First Fight North Carolina showed a ginger red of Sim Jenkins and Dusty Miller, mixed breed, weight 5 :8 ; South Carolina, red Nub Comb, weight 5:8. llather slow fighters and neither seem ed to have the advantage for the first four or five deliveries. The ginger finally struck his antagonist in the head and he was carried out of the pit. Time, 10 minutes. . Second Fight North Carolina, span gled Phillips cock, 5:8; South Carolina, dark red Pink Howell, 6:8. Even and lively fight for the first two or three de liveries, but the red lost first one and then the other eye, while the spangled also seemed to be pretty severely pun ished. The red showed game till the last, striking at his antagonist when ever he could tell where he was. The spangled at last suddenly left the pit in a brisk trot. Time, 23 0, Third Fight North Carolina show ed a dark lied Horse,1 5:10; South Caro lina. 'red Nub Comb, 5:11. Flew at each other from the jump. On the first de livery the dark red inflicted a cut on his antagonist and received one him self. On the fourth delivery he struck the Nub Comb a blowr in the head, when the latter jumped and fell dead on his back. Time, 4. Fourth Fight North Carolina, a sil ver grav Jenkins and lied Horse, 5:14; South Carolina, red Nub Comb, 5:12, Short sharp and decisive. Both flew high and stood up'To each "other until the Bilver gray drove a gaftthrough the head of his antagonist, killing him in the pit. Time, 1 :30. ' ? Fifth Fight. North Carolina.a bright red "Flary Eye," 5:15; South Carolina, silver gray cross on Sim Jenkins, 5:13. The gray' seemed to be the stronger cock from the beginning and held the advantage throughout, the red seemed to do his best, reviving towards the last. On the fifth delivery he received a blow in the head and trotted out of the pit. The pitter of the red claimed another chance, but his cock refused to fight. Time, 9. Sixth Fight South Carolina;' red dominique, Georgia ,breed, 6; North Carolina, silver gray cross on Sim Jen kins, 6. The gray" was game enough, but a poor fighter, and the dominique nid not press his advantage. Both cocks were slightly injured at the close of the fifth delivery. On the sixth delivery the gray received a. wound in the body, which produced bleeding at the mouth.; fell and tried to come, but failed. Time, 8:30. Seventh Fight. North Carolina, dark gray, same breed as above, 5 :15 ; South Carolina, dark red Welshlegger, 6. In the very first buckle the gray had his leg broken above the knee, disabling hiin, but he continued to fight bravely notwithstanding the red inflicted a half dozen wounds in the head and neck, from the effects of which lie final ly died. Time, 19. Eighth Fight North Carolina, dark red Jenkins, mixed breed, 6:3; South Carolina, White Tarter, 6:2. Both in fine condition, and neither seemed to have the odds. The white received two cuts, but recovered and dealt his antag onist a head stroke which laid him over on the fifth delivery. Time, 720. Ninth Fight North Carolina, gray Johnston's stock, 6:4; South Carolina, Nub Comb, breed known as "Yaller-4 Gal," C :3. The hardest fought battle of the day. Both hit hard licks and cut each other pretty badly, being high fly ers. The gray received all his wounds about the neck ; the red on the fifth de livprv pot a ojir, in Mia hack which caused a deep rattfe. He showed signs of flagging from this on, and finally ran. (This is the first South?1' Carolina cock that has run during the main.) Time, 22. : ' This ended the main, the result of the day's fightning being South Caroli na 5 to North Carolina 4; the result of the main being North Carolina 10, South Carolina 8. When the last fight ended the North Carolina backers gave a yell that might have been heard a half dozen blocks. 4'hey had almost despaired of winning the main, having lost the four fights immediately precedingthis one, when it was generally believed that the result would be a draw. The fighting throughout the day was better than that had the day before. The betting was not so large at first,but increased towards the last, until on the final . fight both sides risked almost everything they had lett. NOTES OF THE PIT.
