yesterday. The track is clear of the

The item in The Observer some
time ago in reference to Barney Ma
cauley and a bottle of wine, credited
to the Greenville News, calls that paper
to its feet to deny the soft impeach

the Danville Netrs.
Hailroad men say that all the roads

Lock man has not yet succeeded in
giving his required bond for $10,000.
Nothing has been heard on the subject
from the authorities of the road, and it
U now understood that they are aware

that they will make no efforts to secure
the bond, at least unless it is reduced.
The meeting of the Dramatic club
at the residence of Col. Morehead last
night was well attended and greatly
enjoyed. The rehearsal of "Among the
Breakers" which it is proposed to pro

of the evening. Those who have been
assigned parts entered into them with
much spirit.

The discussions on prohibition yes
terday were animated and general. The
temperance men hold up the evils of
intemperance; the anti-prohibitionista
say that it is impossible to stop the
traffic in liquor, discourse on the rights
of man, and some threaten the Demo
cratic party, as if politics had anything
to do with it.
The children of the infant class of the

rive, jietween Salisbury and Chrha

press car ran off the track. The x
press car was damaged to such an ex
ten t as to delay the train after the en
gine and tender were replaced on the
tirtun.. io one was hurt.
xne trains were delayed again at
liar risb org before reaching here. The
regular passeger ran into an epeta switch
ai iiarnsburg depot. They had left
Salisbury at a little after six, and this
latter accident was the cause of the late
arrival last night.
ine track was opened and trains
arrived here at 10.30 last night, there
having been no Northern mail up to
that time during the day.
Crubhed Between tb Cars.
Ben Morehead, colored, who in the
absence of the regular car-coupler takes
his place at the Richmond and Danville
yard, was caught yesterday afternoon
about 3 o'clock between the projecting
ends of the side sills of two liichmond
and Danville cars which he was coup
ling. He fell unconscious and was dis
covered by the engineer lying in a mud
hole at the side of the track. He was
taken up and carried to his room under
the old Exchange Hotel. Dr. T. J Moor
was called in and found a trans
verse fracture of the breast-bone just
aoove the heart, but no further injuries
as iar as couia oe discovered. The man
is in no danger unless internal injuries
nave occurred or pneumonia should
set in.

The Telegraph CMlida.tiott
Continues to excite much interest
here, especially among those whose
business requires constant telegraphic
communication.. From the telegraph
men here, and the reports of the New
York papers of yesterday, it is gather
ed that Jay Gould has got the best of
the fight in Wall street, and that Thos.
T. Eckert will be made president of the
consolidated companies, or that Gould
himself will become president, and
Eckert first vice-president and mana
ger. It is further stated that several of
the most prominent members of the
board of directors of the American
Union Jay Gould, Russell Sage. Fred
L. Ames and others will be members
of the new consolidated Western
Union, a meeting of the directors of
which takes place next Wednesday to
ratify the consolidation. Bitter accu
sations against Mr. Vanderbilt are
made, it being asserted that he has
played into Gould's hands.
What the effect will be on the reten
tion or discontinuance of employes it
is impossible to say, as the details of:
the plan of the consolidation are guard
ed with great secrecy. .
Dramatic Notice.
The Atlanta Post-Appeal says: "As
a general thing, the dramatic critics on
the Southern press are altogether too
good-natured in their notices of the
worthless sticks, gawky novices and
broken down hacks who are frequently
sent down here in the character of
stars." The newspapers are in many
instances to blame for the undeserved
celebrity of many third-rate actors ; and
it is refreshing to occasionally read a
breezy criticism with a caustic flavor.
The sooner theatrical managers are
made to understand that newspapers
are under no obligations to them the
better for all parties."
And yet, wtien papers do make ad
verse criticisms, about half the public
for whose benefit they are made and
who are benefitted thereby, say "Oh,
that's too severe. It wouldn't do any
harm to speak pleasantly of companies,
no matter what they are." There is very
little encouragement for a paper to
make honest criticisms of dramatic
companies. The Observer has tried
it and will continue to do so. As for
newspapers being under obligations to
the companies the boot is on the other
foot decidedly.
The Grouping- of News.
Yesterday was about as dull a day
for news as ever occurs in Charlotte.
This is the frequent complaint of re
porters and yet it is almosfwonderful
that such days are really so rare. The
evenness with which news the record
of public events is distributed is al
most wonderful. It is true that events
of the same character are often group
ed, notably railroad accidents, the truth
of which has been so remarkably illus
trated in the last few, weeks. The
weather is the principal agent in this
grouping, as is evident to the least re
flection, ad4he infection -of events is,
also a powerful influence, but in spite
of this something seems to be going on
nearly all Upetime, "New is not a list
of chance occurences by any means
and therefore does not exhibit the Te
marKable runs which are sometimes
characteristic of the ace of clubs or the
jack of diamonds. The disposition to
excuse laziness in keeping up with
his business, however, often leads
the reporter to excuse his short
comings on the ground of "noth
ing happening." The Newspaper
man is not confined to what is happen
ing. (Here la an excellent opportunity
for somebody to remark, with the idea
that something good is being said, "we
know it ain't ) What is going to hap
pen, what has happened and what ought
to happen, may all be made good by an
ingenious application. This . ingenious
application and the capacity for ran
sacking resources, has a good deal more
to do with' newspaper reporting, es
pecially in small towns, than the jca
pacity for putting it on paper.

The Construction, Bond uetion.
To ttte Kd'tei of Ths Observer. . , . .

that that company will agree to extend
the lease of the North Carolina Rail
road for twenty or thirty years more,
until the new bonds to be "issued under
the compromise shall mature, upon the
same terms. If you are correct in four
calculation, and I believe you are, tben
the State would receive enough intertsft

T the Editor ef the Observer.
Will yon please explain why it is th; t
the Kichmoud & Danville Railroad (as
l have been informed) charges thirty
Jive cents per lOO&s on srxkes and
handles from Greensboro to New York
and forty cents per 100 fts from Greens
boro to Charlotte. Does it cost more to
haul 94 miles than it doos 500, or do you
think the business is going the wrong
way? Perhaps Richmond is even get-
tine a better rate than Charlotte or
New York, or perhaps there is a slight
discrimination against Charlotte m fa
vor of other markets.

A Hebrew exodus from Germany to
the United States has begun, and will
doubtless swell to large proportions.

General Grant will probably start for
Mexico within the next thirty days for
the purpose of obtaining more accurate
information and forming an opinion as
to several concessions for the benefit
of the Mexican railroad consolidation
to the commission of which he is a
member.
Me Lud Beaconsfield, in his alleged
novel, "Endymion," says, speaking ef
America: "A country that borrows its
language, its laws and its religion, can
not have its inventive powers mucn
developed." Me Lud forgets that
America only borrowed the English
language in order to prepare the dic
tionaries which Englishmen are com
pelled to consult when they really want
to know, what the language is.
On each- side of every compartment
in the railway car of India is a revolv
ing lattice, which is kept constantly
wet by a reservoir of water on the top
of the carriage. A revolving lattice is
in the form of a spokeless wheel, and is
constructed of fibrous particles of bam
boo, cocoanut and rice straw. When
this is thoroughly wet the hot air pass
ing through becomes cool and deli
cious.
Boston is going into the tower of
Babel business on a smaller scale. A
company has been formed to ounu a
tower 325 feet high, or eighty feet high
er than the Bunker hill monument,

road station, to be used by visitors and

The observatory at the top will accom
modate about 150 people, and will be
reached by four elevators, with safety
attachments.
By George Eliot's death, sums up the
London Academy, we are left with only
one living novelist who is absolutely of
the first-class. Thackeray died soon
after George Eliot became famous, and
Dickens when she had yet much of her
best work to do. During all the years
in which she labored, it is perhaps true
that only one novelist of extraordinary
genius had arisen. It is perhaps true
that the position tilled at one and the
same time by Dickens, Thackeray and
George Eliot can be claimed at the
present moment, lr claimed at an, oniy
by a single novelist by Thomas Hardy.
