Removal of George Pethel.
When ii was found that it would be
impossible to try George Pethel at the
late term of Meckleifbnrg court, Judge
Kerr ordered the shariff to return the
prisoner to the jail of Rowan, in which
county the killing occurred. Sheriff
Waggoner, of Rowan, came over yester
day and got the prisoner, taking, him
over on the evening train. It is not
likely that he will be tried before Au

'I he I.inkliaiv lUurder Trial,
The trial of Miss Linkhaw for the
murder of Ed. Ilartman in Lumberton,
will be begun in Robeson Superior
Court this week. TsJudge McKoy will
hear the case. The defendant has em
ployed Col. Foster French, of Lumber
ton and Col. Duncan K McRae, of Wil

stood that the defence will endeavor to
prove emotional insanity. The trial
will excite a great deal of interest in
this section of the State.

Kailroad Note.
The contest between engineers as to
who shall have the honor of having
pulled the largest number of cars is still
going on. George Garrison of the Car
olina Central is now ahead. He went
into Wilmington Sunday morning with
forty-five freight cars, drawn by the
engine "Cape Fear."
As an evidence, of the abundance of
the water supply on the Western North
Carolina Railroad, it is stated that there
is not a single wittettank west of States

lank pumper is a character unknown
ip there. ;
As engineer Baskfcrvill-e, of the Garo
lina Centralwas cotoiftgup, yesterday
morning, he was presented, on the line,
with a bill for 12.50 for .a yearling
bull which he v.A killed on the last trip
down. Mr. liasketjville, however, was
"not buying any bef to-day." The bill
to make engineers' &md conductors on
this road pay for cattle killed by their
trains, failed in the House.
The enormous sale ofXr. bull's Cough Syrup has
had the effect of bringing out numerous similar
remedies; but the people are not so easily Induced

the old and reliable one--Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup.
CITY FATHERS.
'Flie Regular nontbly meeting: of the
Board of Aldermen.
The board met in regular session yes
terday afternoon at the mayor's office.
Present, Mayor Smith, Aldermen Mil
ler, Tatem, Moore, Sanders, Nisbet,
Wilson, Butler, Weddington, Dowd ard
Scott. . . , . , . ,
.Aldef man MUlei of th firiancecqan
mittee, reported that he had purchased
two copies of Emerson's city directory
for the use of the city clerk and mar
shal, the matter of the purchase having
been left to the committee.
The question of the taxation of
Chess, Carley& Ctfs oil tank came up
for discussion. 1 - , . . 1
Alderman Moore explained his posi
tion in reference to the subject under
discussion, and moved that the report
of the committee at the last meeting,
making the tax $25 for the current
year, be adopted.
h motion was Put and carried.
i . b . Harrison, representing the fire
department, appeared before the board
with a bill for five hundred feet of hose
tor the Neptune fire company, for ap
proval, stating that the hose was guar
anteed to last for three years, if proper
ly taken care of, and to stand four hun
dred pounds of pressure.
It w;s understood that the city treas
urer would pay the bill ($475) if the
committee to whom the purchase was
entrusted would approve it, after the
test had been applied.
Alderman Dowd presented a petition
from the Pioneer fire company, asking
that the city place them on an equal
footing with the Hornet fire company,,
in reference to the feeding of the
horses which they propose to purchase
at an early day. The company had on
hands funds for the purchase of the
horses and for preparing stables, &c,
which funds had been collected by con
tributions. The petition was granted.
Mr. C. F. Harrison, representing the
lire department, also, in behalf of the
Pioneer and Hornet companies, stated
tld the companies were sadly in need
ot Jiose ; that what they had on hand
was not sufficient for ordinary uses,
and was liable at any time to burst.
He therefore asked that six hundred
feet be purchased for each companv.
Alderman Scott moved that the re
quest be granted and that the hose be
purchased in the same manner as that
for the use of the Neptune company,
and the motion was carried.
It was understood that the old hose
and fixtures could be sold for a small
sum and that the receipts therefrom
would be devoted to defraying the ex
penses of this purchase.
A petition was read from the cotton
buyers of the city, requesting the board
to continue the cotton inspector in
office for two or three months, if not
for the entire year, on the ground that
nearly all the cotton brought to the city
by wagon wras taken to the platform
between the hours of 10 a. m. and 1 p. m.,
and that the weigher would not be able
to inspect a; id weigh the cotton with
out great inconvenience to farmers by
the delay which would necessarily re
sult. The board, on motion," resolved to
continue the inspector for one month
longej-.
Alderman Scott introduced the fol
lowing ordinance and asked its adoption-
ORDINANCE IN RELATION -TO COCK
KIG1ITING. Be it ordained by the Board of Alder
men of the City of Charlotte: That it
shall not be lawful for any person or
persons, within the limits of this city,
to engage in the practice of cock-fighting
with gaffs, whether such fighting
be accompanied with betting or not;
and every person who may hereafter
engage in such practice within this city,
'shall, upon conviction thereof, be sul
ject to a penalty of !?25 for each and
every offense, to be recovered as other
fines and penalties for violation of the
ordinances of this city.
Be it further ordained. That any per
son who shall suffer or permit any other
person or persons to engage in snch
fighting of cocks on his, her or their
premises, or at any place occupied by
them or under their control, shall be
subject to a like penalty for each of
fense. And any fighting of cocks as
aforesaid within said city, being proved
shall be accepted as prima facie evi
dence against the owner or occupant of
the premises wherever such fighting
takes place.
This ordinance shall take effect and
be in ftrce from and after the 1st day
of April, 1879.
The ayes and noes were called, the
rules were suspended, the ordinance
put upon its three readings and passed,
Alderman Tatem casting the only vote
against it.
The Alderman Scott also introduced
the following ordinance, which passed
its three readings under the suspension
of the rules, and was ordered to be re
corded :
AN ORDINANCE IN RELATION TO TRAMPS.
Be it ordained by the Board of Alder
men of the City of Charlotte: That
hereafter any person coming into this
city, whether with the intention of re
maining, or merely as a "tramp" or
temporary sojourner, and who, being
without visible means of support, shall
attempt to beg his way, or shall be
found skulking about the premises of
any citizen, or shall be shown to have
stolen his transportation to this city by
secreting himself about the cars or
trains of any railroad leading to the
city, or who shall be proven to be acting
as a vagrant or tramp, and does not
show in a satisfactory manner his hon
esty of imrpose, or otherwise disprove
presumption that he is a vagrant or
tramp, as aforesaid, shall be taken to
be one of the army of tramps, and shall
be subject to a fine not to exceed 30
and imprisonment not to exceed thirty
davs, at the discretion of the mayor;
anil that he be placed at work on the
public streets of the1 city under super
vision of the superintendent of streets.
The ordinance, which prohibits any
person from depositing the carcass of
any animal on the streets was modified
so as to give one-half of the fine for
such offense to the informer. The
board also instructed the marshal to
consider dead fowls as falling under
this head. ,
In this connection, Alderman, Moore,
chairman of the sanitary committee,
called the attention of the mayor to
the fact that this was the time to begin
fwo tli ft saiiitarv regulations in
relation to cleaning up premises, open
ing out ditches, etc. He said that al
ready disagreeable odors had been no
ticed, and that unless the proper steps

Avenue, this morning at 9 o'clock.: -
A Frightful Death.
Death yesterday overtook Mr. Thos,
Neal, a young man of Sharon township,
under shocking circumstances. The
youth, aged about seventeen years, a
son of the late Wm. Neal, had been
plowing during the morning, and after
dinner started to the field to resume his
work, riding a spirited horse which had
on him only the plow gears. About a
hundred yards from the house, up the
public road, the horse took fright, turn
ed around and went running back down
the road. The young man was thrown,
his feet catching in the gears, and a
moment later, his sister, standing on the
piazza, saw the animal shoot past the
house at fearful speed, and heard with
horror the frantic shrieks of her unfor
tunate brother as he was dragged along
the highway and tossed from side to
side.
From the residence of Mr. Edgar H.
AValker, toward which the horse was
going, the road is perfectly straight for
some distance in the direction of Mrs.
Neal's, and Mr. Walker, standing in
front of his lot, saw the riderless horse
charging toward him and soon discern
ed the form dangling by his side. Call
ing a colored man to his assistance, the
two placed themselves across the road,
and springing at the affrighted horse as
he reached them, they threw him upon
the fence on the side of the road and
held him fast. The foot of young Neal
was disengaged from the chain which
had held it, but his release came all too
late. He gasped thrice and died.
The horse had run with him half a
mile, and the face and bodv were shock
ingly bruisad and mutilated. The skull
was broken above the left eye and again
behind the left ear : the nose had been
split in twain; the clothes had been
torn from the upper portion of the
body, and from the waist to the neck
there remained hardly a square inch of
skin. What agony he must have en
dured during the few brief moments
while dashing helplessly along by the
horse's side, can never be known nor
imagined.
The tragic affair created intense com
motion in the neighborhood, as the
news of it spread from house to house,
and the grief of the mother and sisters
of the young man is perfectly uncon-
ironaoie. m their great and sudden
affliction an affliction rendered doubly
severe by its suddenness and its shock
ing character the family have the pro
foundest sympathy of the entire com
munity.
