( J It Is learn etl that a proposition, a very favorable one, has been submitted to several gentlemen in this citv bv a Northern man who has had much to do with that kind of improvement, for the erection of water works in Charlotte. It is claimed by him that the enterprise can be set on foot at comparatively a small cost, and in a manner which will render the scheme a pavine one to the stockholders. He proposes, in short, to take one half of the stock himself, and to superintend the erection of the works. A serious difficulty to the - immediate prosecution of the enterprise arises in the fact that the proposition was receiv ed too late to procure acharter from the present Legislature. At at any rate, it is understood that the matter will be E resented at the next meeting ot the oard of .aldermen and discussed in all its bearings. Water works and a street railway are among the possibilities of the future.

The eve of Policeman Healey fell upon a tall form striding across the public square, yesceraay aoouc noon, which was at once recognized as that of the now famous Red Buck. A few minutes and -the policeman; laid his hand n the Buck, in the office of Jus tice McNinch, whither he had retired because it was a quiet, retired place, to compose. The only information re ceived from the Buck since he skipped the town to avoid the penalty ot cer tain indiscretions was. first, that he was delivering lectures at Ore Knob, Ashe county, on temperance, ana next, mat he was lecturing in Lexington, Ky., on "The World as it Is." It seems that he longed to return to his old haunts and exclaim with Macgregor, " Ye crags and peaks, etc., but when he came he found his old home (the small house on the Means place, recently burned) in ashes.

A case in illustration of the importance of this occurred yesterday. A party took a bale to ieu platform, and the grader on ' cutting J 6ut the sample thought he detected dampness in that portion nearest the middle of thebaic A further examination proved that it was thoroughly watered, so much so, indeedVthat much of the lint was en tirely destroyed. He protested that he had nothing to. do with the packing of the. balevana that it had been in: the lint room ever since it was pressed. A little water will greatly increase the weight of a bale. The farmer took it home and proposes, very properly, to in vestigate the matter thoroughly. - . .. - Badly Beaten : Night before last the inhabitants of the eastern part of the first ward, in the vicinity of the terminus of Sixth street, were aroused by the cries of a man in distress, and subsequently learned that they came from a negro named Jim Valentine, who was being severely beaten by another negro named Jim Hnnter. The disturbance occurred in or near the premises of Mr. W. M. Crowell, upon which Hunter lives, and the cause of it was the unfaithfulness of Hunter's wife. Valentine was ter rible beaten up by his outraged antag onist, and it was even reported at one time yesterday that he had died from the effects of the wounds he received, but this wras a mistake although he was severely hurt. The circumstances of the difficulty will be fully investigated before the mayor this morning. A flpiuarfeabje Railroad Accident. One of the most remarkable accidents of the kind ever known in these parts happened to the freight train on the North Carolina Railroad Which left here day before yesterday afternoon. The train was composed of tenor fifteen cars. At a point about htty yards from Coleman s, a way station between here and Salisbury, the third or fourth car from the engine jumped off the rails. The train was moving at an average speed and the engineer did not notice the jar which the accident must have given the engine, and kept on at the same. rate. The car had not cleared the track but was jumping over the cross ties, and, being held in position by the cars on either side of it, ran in this way for a distance of four miles. Finally coming to a cattle-guard, the wheels went down, the car was turned over and three others thrown from the track. The smash-up, when it did finally come, was considerable, as may be imagined, but no one on the train was injured. One set of trucks of the car which jumped the track went nobody knows where, for at last accounts they had not been found. Another singular feature of the accident is that the cuts on the cross-ties made by the wheels show that they ran on one side of the rails part of the way, then jumped the rails and continued the remainder of the dis tance on the other. The ends of many of the crossties those partially decay edwere entirely cut off by the wheels. The smash-up caused a delay of six or eight hours to the evening passenger train, wliich did not arrive in Greens boro till 3 o'clock in the morning. The time was consumed in clearing away the : wreck,. The--track, except for a short distance at and near the wreck, was not materially injured.,. f : i A Card.
