of whose wells had gone dry had de
termined to make an effort to have the
city, with the consent of the Air-Line
road, put a pump in the large well at
the depot of their road so that they
might force water to their quarters,
imt on examination a dead cat was
discovered and as there are forty feet
of water in it and it would be a little
hard to clean out they abandoned the
idea.

. A little one year old girl of Mr. Caho,
of Beaufort county, who is visiting
Morganton with his' family (it was
learned yesterday from a gentleman
just returned from that town) sat upon
a flat-topped well with her feet in the
bucket. She slipped and went down,
but clung to the bucket, which she took
with her for company. She did not
sink but waited quietly half submerged
until some one went down and brought
her up unhurt That she escaped with
a few bruises is, however, not an argu
ment for liltle girls to make a habit of
falling into wells.

four years residence of this gentleman
among us he has made everybody his
friend many his personal friends,
others friends to his wits and good fel
lowship. He leaves the city immediately to
join the corps of engineers who will
survey the route for the Ducktown
branch. His headquarters, however,
will be in Salisbury.

TUB WKSTEKIt NORTH CAROLINA
RAILROAD.
Meeting- of the Board ol Directors at
Salisbury
A meeting of the board of directors
of the Western Njilh Carolina Ball
road, was held at Salisbury yesterday.
Most of the business transacted was in
regard to the management of the road,
and not of a public nature. There were
present Col. A. B. Andrews, president
and director, and the following direc
tors: Judge A. C, Avery, Gen. KB.
Vance, Col W. E. Anderson and S. H.
Wiley, Esq. The following order was
introduced and unanimously adopted:
"It is the sense of the board of direc
tors of the Western North Carolina
Railroad, and it is hereby ordered that
the president complete the alteration
of the road so as to run by Newton, as
soon as practicable."
The recording of the mortgage on
the road was announced. ' The mort
is for $1,000,000 the State getting $520,
000 of the bonds.
- All untaken contracts on both
the Paint Rock and Ducktown branch
es (up to Pigeon river on the latter)
were let out to the American Construc
tion company.
Fourteen hundred hands are at work
on the road and it is proposed to in
crease it to 2,000 which number will
be soon reached, as from 25 to 50 hands
are being added daily. There are of
those now at work 400 convicts. Pres
ident Andrews announces that the
road would certainly be completed to
Paint Rock by the 15th of November.
The cars would cross Ivy creek Satur
day on a' temporary wooden bridge.
A $65,000 single span iron bridge has
been purchased and will be thrown
across the river at Mountain Island,
two miles above Warm Springs.
The Ducktown branch would also be
completed to within half a mile of
Pigeon Fiver. A very heavy cut, about
00 feet deep, between this and the river
would probably delay the actual arrival
there till about the 1st of December.
This will be in ample time, as 90 days'
grace will be allowed on the 'expiration
of the original contract.
A corps of engineers under Major
Wilson starts to-day from Pigeon River
to survey and locate the route to Mur
phy in Macon county.
The company have employed a com-
Eetent engineer to make the heavy
lasts of rock below Marshall with
dynamite which will be manufactured
on the spot. Gunpowder has failed.
Col. Dunn, a distinguished engineer
of Maryland, who has had extensive
experience on the Chesapeake & Ohio
under Billy Mahone, has been engaged
by the company.
The bridges across the French Broad
have required all the carpentering that
could be had, and for this reason it has
been impossible to complete the tres
tlesjon the Newton branch to this time.
Mr. V. E. McBee, of Charlotte, was
elected superintendent of the Western
North Carolina road, at a salary of
$2,500 a year.
An Observer representative was
unable to learn anything further of the
business really transacted, but finally
approached President Andrews with
the remark:
Colonel, I see Mr. Best is after you
Western North Carolina Railroad folks
with a sharp stick.
Well, you can just tell the people
that the Richmond & Danville don't
scare wort h a cent. Mr. Best would
Possibly like to be .."salted" just a little,
ut we are not in a salting humor just
now. He has neither right nor title to
the position which he claims and the
Richmond & Danville people will re
spect no such claims. If he ever had
any claims to t'ne road they have been
forfeited, aud we are going forward to
complete the contract with the State.
We own the contract, we are going to
finish the road, and we will claim the
glory of it, although it must be confess
ed that Mr. Best deserves some credit
for calling attention to it.

Changes in Railroad Officials.
Mr. W. L. Hand, for so long a time
the popular agent at the Atlantic, Ten
nessee & Ohio road in this city, has re
signed and taken a passenger conduc
torship on the Carolina Central. Mr.
II. B. Schraeder, one of the most reli
able railroad business men in the city
as those who have had transactions
with the Air Line and Richmond &
Danville any time Within the pastseven
years will testify, has been appointed,
in his place.
Proceedings of the Inferior Court,

ed a conscientious and forcible charge.
Among other things be impressed up
on tne grand jury the necessity tor
hunting up cases of bigamy among the
colored people, as he was pursuaded
from the record of marriage licenses
and other things which had come un
der his observation, that they were
very numerous in tne coupty.

to four months and the second to six
months in jail for mutual assaults with
deadly weapons.
Two other trivial cases were sub
mitted and dismissed on payment of
costs.
A ITlarderer Kills and Rides Away
Through a Crowd.
On Friday last, eight miles from
Morganton, on Silver Creek, about 50
hands were working the road. Sam
Pierson. known in Burke county as
"Silver Creek Sam," to distinguish him
from another Sam Pierson in the town
of Morganton, was cutting down a sap
ling. Bob Walker, another white man
of the neighborhood, told him to quit
as the sapling was on his (Walkers)
land. Sam refused to do so. Bob at
tempted to seize the axe and Sam stab-
oea mm in 106 necK. jjop uieu in a
few minutes from loss of blood. Sam
stepped to bis: house a few yards away,
saddled a mule, rode grimly through
the silent crowd gathered around the
dead pody and toojr. his course to Mor
ganton. When he arrived there be
palled on Col. B. S. Gaither, with whom
he was closeted for some time, -lie
finally came out, rode quietly away
again without interruption and has not
been since neara irom.
It is said that an old grudge existed
between FiergQQ and Walker on ac
count of the rejected matrimonial over
tures of the former to tne sister of tne
latter some years ago.
Fierson is descrioea as a man or aes
perate character although quite small
in stature.
