Caught by a Train in a Wayon on a Railroad Crossing ana Carried 109 Yards We have to record one of those terri ble railroad accidents which seem strange, not so much on account of their frequency as the apparent fatality with which .they occur when least ex pected or looked for. About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon - Mr. J. M. Rigler, accompanied by his little nephew, Frank Jjethco, and a colored boy, start ed in a spring wagon to drive to his farm, : near the suburbs of the city. When nearing the crossing of the Char lotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad, opposite his farm, he heard a train ap proaching, but having plenty of time to cross the track in front of it he drove on without stopping. Unfortunately, however, after getting, across the horse became excited by tha noise of the train and rearing on its hind feet began to back towards the track. Alarmed, but thinking to encourage him to go for ward by use of the reins, Mr. Bigler stayed in the wagon and concentrated his efforts in this direction, in vain. The senseless beast continued to back towards the track and MivRigler found himself helpless to stop him. As he re cognized this fact he turned and seeing the train within a few yards made ah ineffectual grab at little Frank and sprang from the 'Wagon orV one side while the colored boy escaped on the other. Tbe wagon, with the little boy still in it, slipped across the track, and the next instant the train at full speed struck it, tearing it into fragments, with the exception of the body, which was caught on the pilot and carried 109 yards (exact measurement) up the track. When the train was stopped and the body examined, little Frank was found in it still conscious but with several ugly gashes one on his forehead, one on the back of his neck, and one in his right side, and various smaller ones on other parts of his body. Medical assis tance was procured and all the aid pos sible given him, but the extent of his injury cannot be told until the nature of the wounds is further developed. The horse that caused the mischief was dragged some distance and severely injured in the hips and hind-quarters. Mr. Iligler and the mother of the lit tle boy, the two most deeply interested, will have the sympathy of the commu nity iu their misfortune. ZW Mr. A. W. Bacon will preside at 1 he organ at the First Presbyterian church to-day. JS" Rev. J. L.Williams, of Wades boro, will preach at the First Presby terian church to-day. jSP Reports from various sections tend to show that the rain of Friday was pretty general .throughout the country. ZW Gen. R.D. Johnston and Mr. T. M. Pittman, of this city, addressed a prohibition meeting in Steel Cretk yes terday. ZW The police picked up two drunk anil downs yesterday. It felt a little awkward as they have almost got out of practice, "Where are you going, my pretty maid?" "I'm going a shopping," she sweetly said; "And where?" I asked, scarce In surprise, "Oh, anywhere, where they advertise." The editor of the Monroe Ex press savs "that there are not nearly so manv snakes this year as usual," and we take it that he can safely vote for prohibition. tW Some of our bicyclists are prac- ticing with the intention of entering themselves for the race at the State fair. A 890 Columbian is the prize of fered for the contestant who makes the greatest speed. They tell of an engineer on the Air-Line who saw a lire in a Dries Jtun some distance ahead of him, when ap proaching Gastonia one night last week, and thinking it another train he reversed his engine and ran back to Lowell before stopping. tW Thos. W. Keene, Milton "Nobles, Gus Williams, Sol Smith Russell, Fred erick B. Ward and Pixley, the charming M'liss, all old friends to the lovers here of the footlights, are already among those booked for the opera house next season. CW Gen. Jno. A. Young, is in dead cold earnest in regard to prohibition, and is out on the ''war path." While on a visit to Iredell last week, he tack led an anti-prohibition meeting at Young's X Roads, and got in some heavy licks. &W" The contestants in the whiskey caees seem to be in the condition of two well matched-pugilists' who have felt each other's power, and are not particularly eager for a renewal of the onset. At least they are mighty shy about bringing another trial of that last case, EST As will be seen by advertisement elsewhere, the officers elect of Dixie Lodge. No. 103. Independent Order of Odd Fellows, will be publicly installed at Masonic Temple next Monday even in;. Mr. C. M. Busbee,- the present Urand Master, will deliver an aqqress it tao time. ISTThe name of Chas. B. Todd, Esq., got mixed ub in the proceedings or an anti-prohibition meeting held at Col lins' Store, in Berryhill township, the other day. He asks us to say that the use of his name as one of the "working committee." was altogether unauthor ized by him, as he is on the other side m tnis race. A Prohibition Ditputc. A warm prohibition discussion be tween Messrs. Charley Henderson and Taylor Smith on Tryon street, opposite the Charlotte Hotel yesterday, attract ed a crowd and threatened at one time to end in a. personal encounter. Mr. Ed Henderson, brother to one of the par ticipants,' interfered, however, in the interest of peaee arid lopk Mr. Smith to one side ?lo conciliate him. At this point the Chief of? Police .came up and arrested peace-maker and participants without distinction. Mr. Ed. Hender son remonstrated with the officer rep resenting the peaceable "natufe of his interference-when the latter became ex cited aud collaring one of the young men; ordered the others to. ' be taken to the gqard house, and proceeded some distance, through the street forcing his prisoner violently along regardless of the latter-s- protestations that he was ready to go, unresistingly. This scene excited indignation among the by standers and cries of ? "shame" and ex pressions of indignation were indulged in that a citizen should be subjected wantonly and unnecessarily to a per sonal indignity. The officer changed his mind before proceeding further, and the young men were allowed to give bond for their appearance at the may or's court Monday morning. Charlotte to be a Depot for Fertili zers. The Baltimore Sun says substantially the lease of the York River Line by the Piedmont Air-Line, will have the effect of transferring the northern terminus of the Piedmont from Richmond to this city and fertilizers will be sent from this point to the interior, ware houses being now in course of erection at" Charlotte, N. C, and other- places. This is done for the purpose of foster ing the fertilizing trade. A wharf 80 by 300 feet is being built at West Point for the landing of fertilizers alone. The Piedmont Air-Line system now consists of the following roads: Balti more to West Point, Va., 100 miles, by the York River Line of steamers ; West Point to Richmond by the Richmond and York River road, 38 miles; the Richmond and Danville road from Richmond to Charlotte, 282 miles : the North Carolina road, 130 miles ; West ern North Carolina road, 140 miles: Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta road, 191 miles ; Charlotte and Atlanta .Divi sion, 269 miles; Columbia ana ureen- ville road. 143 miles: JSiDerton Air- Line s Hartwell road, and Northeastern road, all controlled by the Piedmont Air-Line, or Richmond and Danville system ; besides many connections. The managers or the line now ciaim mat the system is more of a Baltimore insti tution, and are thinking of putting on regular daily steamers from Baltimore to West Point, and are also considering a reduction of rates on freight. PROHIBITION ARGUMENT, As-PHESENTED BIT COL,. Til OH AS In His Speech at Greenville, 8. C, '' and Elsewhere It is perhaps one of the faults of re porters and newspaper men, that the arguments presented to the people in favpr of prohibition, do not reach the people through the columns of the newspaper. They generally say Mr. so and so made a fine temperance or pro hibition speech, but do not give the ar guments used by the speaker. We have before us a copy of the Greenville, S. C, News of yesterday, which gives a synopsis of the arguments used by CoL J. P. Thomas, of this city, in a speech delivered in Greenville last Thursday night in favor of prohibition, written by Gen. Ellison Capers, which we think is an intelligent presentation of that side of the question. Believing that it will be read with interest we make no apology for reproducing it : Col. Thomas began by asserting the dignity and the importance of the ques tion of prohibition. He ranked it with the Crusades and the Reformation in the influence which it was destined to have on society, and held it to be sec ond only to the Church in the grandeur and moral power of its aim. It was an earnest movement for the good of man, and so far as its being the ephemeral excitement of the placeman and political magnate, it was a move ment direct from the heart of the com mon people, quickened by the con science of Christianity, ana supported by the prayers of the suffering. Col. Thomas held that prohibition by law was the logical and moral result of our civilization, and he pronounced that man blind to the palpable evidence of fact, who could not see in the outward, visible signs of this great movement, the certain evidences of its inward reality. It was a grand moral revolution, and such revolutions never rolled their wheels backward. He asserted that all past remedies tried had failed. Drunkenness was still the crying evil of the day in spite of the pulpit, the press, the school, the home, and the license system. Holding alcohol to be. a poison, and supporting his citations from distin guished scientist?, he denied the right of the State or the government to license its sale in public drinking houses. The State had no right to license a positive evil to man, for whose preservation and safety society was organized. The mere assertion of the fact that 75 per cent, of the crime punished by law was directly traceable to alcohol was in its own terrible self argument abundant to snow tnat tne government organized to protect the citizen in his highest and best interests, had no right to license nis injury! Prohibition was crvstalization of principle into law. The Bible does not say, you may lie moderately, you may steal a little, you may commit adultery to a degree, out because lying, stealing and adultery are great evils in society and injurious to man and dishonoring to his maker, therefore the Bible, the grand and eternal foundation of all right, law and government command ed : Thou shalt not steal ; thou shalt not bear false witness. Let the State speak in the authority of law and com mand, Xhou shalt not longer murder thy fellow man with alcohol." Col. Thomas next proceeded to show that alcohol was a murderer, and drew vina pictures or its terrible ravages among all classes of society. He com pared strong drink to the Upas tree, and assuming the fable of its poisonous atmosphere, to be true, he asked, what would be thought of the man who proposed to lop off its branches and prune its growth as the true remedy for the death it promoted. if it scatters poison on the air and destroys human life, take it up by the roots and let the sun of heaven kindly blast it to its death. The arguments against prohibition were met and refuted with clearness. fairness and force. It was not a sump tuary law, for it did not limit the citi- 1 i.1 A. J A - zen in mat wmcn was userui u mm, or wnich he could innocently enioy. it cut off a great evil from the body poli tic, and saved the citizen from a temp tation to his own hurt. It was not against personal liberty, for what right in magna charta, or in the Declaration of Independence, or in the Bible, did it deny to a man r What people, what nation, honorable, high-minded State ever yet contended for the right to tempt man to his ruin, or his right to get drunk r When men contended for bar rooms and liquor selling, it was not because they, loved liberty less, but because tney loved or- iice, or they loved. vzhiskey more. Men said they were never tempted themselves, and they had no interest in prohibition, but Colonel Thomas re buked this selfishness as unpatriotic and thoroughly unchristian. He appealed to all men and to the Car olinas to rise to the heights of moral ar gument, and wash the stained robe of Carolina in the waters of temperance, and make her strong in the bands of pronibition. 8ommr Notes Our Public Roads. It is understood that the public roads leading into the city are in a very oaa condition, and now is the time of year to have them repaired. In a few days M: least the people will be through working their summer crops, and can well afford to devote a few days to the condition of the public highways. It has been said that public roads are cri terlons of the civilization of any coun try. Measured by this rule how will our civilization stand the test of critic ism? Speaking- Yeaterday. Besides at other points in the county, large prohibition meeting "as held yesterday, at MqNeely'-s school house, fi ve miles ndrth of the city, and near the section house on the Atlantic, Tennes see $ Ohio Railroad. Speeches were made by CoL John E. 'Brown, Col. J. P. Thomas and Rev. T. J. Rooke. We are unable to give any particulars except that all the speeches were spirited, and highly enloyed by the audience. CoL Thomas, it is said, made a remarkably fine effort, and everybody, was satisfied that much good was accomplished. A Bustd Excursion One of the chief items for financial adventure to the colored capitalist When he wants to make a big thing is to run an excursion for colorea people Lemonade at a pic nic and a big crowd on an excursion for colored people are two things that hitherto have never been known to tail. This being their experience aLd having keen eyes for the main chance. Messrs. James Hagler, Wm. Hall and J. H. Hunter, colored, lately formed a joint stock company for the purpose or running an excursion to Wilmington on the occasion PI tne meeting there of the Grand United Or der of Odd Fellows (cbloredl.which oc curs the" first Tuesday in Airgust.

Their an ticipations of big profits,, however, have been dashed bv a report wnicn has got out among the colored people to the effect that the excursion, which is advertised to return on the morning of the 4th of August, election day, is a trick designed to get them out of the city and, by some indirect means, which will transDire afterwards, to keep them away until after the election. This has prospectively "busted": the. excur sion and the managers, whiTe 'protest ting their ignorance uf apy such design, desire to announce that no attempt will be made to run the excursion at the-tlme advertised, ADTISTlHnCUrr.
