C3T The cloudy sky of yesterday morning brought hopes of rain to be again disappointed. t2T The Old Southern Variety Min strels are rehearsing and will soon give an entertainment to the citizens of Charlotte. EST" Both the editor and the reporter of The Observer acknowledge with thanks the very nattering recognition of the Winston Leader. ZW The improvements on Wads worth's livery' stables, it is said, will cost $6,000 or $8,000, It will be when finished, one of the largest and most complete stables in the South. IW Master John Zimmerman, of riiieville, writes that he killed a water moccasin a few days ago which weigh ed 4 pounds and had in its belly 54 small snakes, averaging 10 inches each in length. IW Mr. W. E. Shaw while out bicyc ling Monday evening took a 'header' as he crossed the North Carolina Rail road at Ninth street. He strained the leaders of a leg so badly that his physi cian fears he will be confined for two weeks. "Ancient and careful observers of negro idiosyncracies are not agreed as to which the race is more inclined to watermelons, stale fish, perfumery or railroad excursions. None, however, dispute the fact that for either of thu four will he sell his soul if his soul is for sale. t3f A gentleman who passed Mat thews' Btation Monday night reports that a party of ten men set out in pur suit of Joe Ross, one of the Hennegan murderers who was reported in the vi cinity, but as he has not been brought to jail it is supposed he escaped again and his would be captors failed to get the murderer or the reward for his appre hension. SL.oca.1 Railway Improvements. The platform at the passenger depot is to be so extended as to avoid the stopping up of the crossing of Trade street by trains which is done now to an inconvenient extent The various tracks at the depot are also being taken up and laid further apart. The Y from the Air-Line to the Statesville track will soon be built and Y's will also be soon completed from the Statesville to the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta, on the opposite side of Tryon, and one from the North Carolina to the Air Line at the junction., . Mayor's Court The mayor's morning receptions are still well attended. Yesterday Joe Scott colored, was fined $2.50 and costs for a drunk and down. Judgment was suspended on Bob Alexander, colored, for maltreating his wife. Lambert Hunter, the colored man who had the fight Saturday and was chased by the police, escaped with $1 and costs. A young man from the country, who asks particularly that bis name be not given, was fined $5 and cojts for being drunk and disorderly. Perianal. Gov. Vance left the city last night to attend a meeting in Raleigh to-day of the Western North Carolina Rail road commissioners. Maj. C. Dowd went to Raleigh last night as attorney for Mr. W. J. Best Mrs. J. P. Caldwell, of Statesville, Is visiting her sister, Mrs. J. H. Van Landingharo, of this city. Mr. W. P. Boyd, of Richmond, formerly of this city, i3 here, returning from Warm Springs, where he has been for some weeks. Messrs. R. M. Miller, Jr., and John W.Miller returned to the city yester day from Saratoga. Another Hungry House Breaker. Yesterday morning it was discovered that during the night some one had en tered the kitchen of Mr. S. S. Elam, on Seventh street, and eaten everything cooked that could be found. A bag of meal was gone but other provisions were left In the sand beneath the window was the track of a bare foot. It seems that something to eat is what the burglars all want. Benevolent people ought to leave a free lunch out side the door every night before retir ing. This would not only save the thieves much trouble but would insure the good people inside against unpleas ant interruptions to their slumbers. A Youthful TlH-Tapper. Yesterday afternoon John Carson, r.niorad. who keeps a small grocery store on Trade street, opposite the First Presbyterian Church, took his pitcher and left hia store for a moment while lie went for some water When he re turned he saw a kinky head duck under the counter. It rose directly, however, and a little neero stood embarrassed. John expressed some curiosity as to his business behind there. -NothinV re plied the 1. n. with his finger .in his mouth;, but as John set the pitcher down he skipped out at the back door. Ineffectual chase was made from which John returned to his- shop to find six dollars taken out of the tilL ' Second Meeting; of the Tryen Street 91. E. Church Uterarr Association. There was quite' large attendance at the second v?eekly meeting of the Tryon Street Methodist Church liter ary Assoplaton last night. The ' mem? bership is ! already about seventy and there js sp great an interest that It is expected that the membership will be largely increased by next meeting.) Mr. John McCmmon read an original essay on "Progression," full of profound reflection,-. MrW.B.tCapps made some critical remarks tut -poetry r .miss tloh of a visit to Niagara Falls, and Misa ViQla Wallace read the poem ?Curf e w;. fehall Not i Ring LTovNjght. The exercises were rnnch enjoyea and the association Wets fair to become a permanent honor to the congregation THE LINDSAY MISE. ' One of the moec Productive ' State;'.. In the Mr. Chas. E. Mann, mining engineer, writes the following letter from High Point, V. C. to the New ; York Mining Record, in regard to the Lindsay mine, which he pronounces a regular bonan za: Tothe Editor of the Mining Record: T i IErF?r moJe than two years since I located here, I have been trying to give your readers a sketch, of the old Lindsay mine, which ranks among the most productive of the larger mines of North Carolina, with a record of ovf r $2,000,000 production, only surpassed in that respect by the Goldhill mine, now sold to and worked' by British capitalists. The Lindsay has lately passed into other hands, who afforded me the facility of an inspection. It was opened about fifty years ago, per haps simultaneously with the Silverhill in Davidson and the Goldhill mine mentioned above, in Rowan county. But before the generation then living thought of opening the vein, they pan ned gold along its course, or milled the rock, consisting of so-called brown ore by means of Chillian mills, long before the present main shaft was commen ced. The property consists of 168 acres high table land, bordered by the Deep river, and the vein five feet wide on the surface, crosses the tract diago nally for a length of more than 6,000 feet from the southwest to northeast. Two other shafts have been commenc ed north and south of the main shaft, but outside of 500 feet from these not even prospect holes or cross-cuts have been made, so that the balance of the vein on the tract for a length of about 4,000 feet, remains perfect virgin ground to this day. The vein is encased- on both sides in talcose and chloritic slates, dipping at an angle of 45 deg. to the east, carrying free gold in limo nite and aurif erous sulphurets in the quartz, assaying from $40 to $250 per ton. The main shaft, 210 feet deep, di vided in two compartments for hoist ing and pumping, is provided with a double cylinder hoisting engine and a Knowles pump of 400 gallons capacity per minute. These are nearly new, and constitute the only improvement of practical value the former owners made. Within a short distance north and south from the main shaft, as mentioned above, are two others 100 and 147 feet deep, connected by levels, giving the underground workings a most perfect ventilation. There are four levelf at 60,-100, 147 and 210 feet depth, amounting in all to more than 1,200 feet length in the vein, and from these the richest ore has been extract ed. In one of the levels they struck a chimney of chalcopyrites, containing 20 per cent, of metallic copper, from which for a long time 150 tons of ore were taken per month. As a legacy, left by the first owners to the genera tions to come, a mass of tailings esti mated at about 6,000 tons, were found in a ravine back of the millhouse, the various assays of which range from $20 to $40 per ton. From the shaft the ore-is conveyed on an elevated tramway 200 feet long to the millhouse, where a good 100 H. P. steam engine sets a lot of pulver izing, roasting and amalgamating ma chinery in motion, which, being out of date, will have to be replaced by some thing more serviceable. The Lindsay offers a large and remu nerative field for skillful operations, but it is by no means the only mine in this immediate vicinity possessing such a high assay value and immense quan tity of good ore. On a tract of land seven miles south west from here, and onejnile from the railroad. I am at the present moment opening four veins two of which run, parallel from southwest to northeast, crossing the others of a north and south course. On one. of the latter I have sunk a prospect shaft, now about 40 feet deep in 2 feet dark colored porous quartz with one foot of brown ore on each side. The vein dips 30 deg. from the perpendicular to the east, and is encased in talcose slate. The vari ous assays I made, range from $60 to $85 per ton. This and the parallel veins run for three-quarters of a mile through the tract, the others will be taken in hand as soon as I have suf ficiently explored the nature of the ground, when I shall report to your readers the result The owner is dis posed to sell this valuable property at a very reasonable figure. A Peculiar Verdict. The jury in the Cochrane whiskey case was hung nearly all day yester- day One of the jurymen requested to be excused on account of the sickness of his wife, and both sides agreeing to make no exception, he was allowed to go and the other eleven left to battle it but. They reported several times night before last that they could not agree and continually returned yesterday, stating to the court that they did not doubt that the whiskey had been sold but saying that part of their number were not willing to find that such sell ing was a misdemeanor. Justice War ring as obstinately reiterated the charges that he originally made say ing that if they were agreed that the whiskey had been sold under the law no other verdict but "guilty" could be found. After offering several written verdicts, which were rejected, the court finally accepted one finding Mr. Cochrane guilty, but requesting that the verdict be recorded as given under the law as charged by the court The Crops. It is right curious the varying views a the drought which one finds different people entertaining. One man yester day talked seriously of knocking his stock in the head declaring that it would be cheaper than to feed them through the winter, He said that the "dry drouth" of 1845 which the old citi zens talk so much about wasn t any thing to this year. Old corn sold the winter following that calamitous sea son at $1.00 a bushel, but this winter he didn't think it could be had at all handy. While he was talking a man whose plantation was in a luckier section stepped up and said that a great many people had just as good or better crops than they had ever had before. From Alexander county to the Virginia line this was the case, he said. The superintendent of the Atlantic, Tennesse & Ohio road declared that crops were really not so bad along the line of his road. A man from Steel Creek asserted that even now in his part of the county he knew many people whose tables were wont to groan with everything eood to eat who had already begun to live on the very slimest fare. Thus different views are about as good a description of the drought-as one coum get. xno peculiarity ua iv Mecklenburg county, at least, is that although it Is general, yet there . are small sections m which there has been enough rain to mrke fine crops. There bai not been a general rain through out the county since spring,' yet there farms withln few miles of each oth er, the one bnrnt completely up, and the other flourishing under the blessings of a good season. : t I ; . , sulfide sad Djsseasla, "A iiiost remarkable i eure aTaC!f?l, Health Benwer.P iThe greatest tonic, best bil- Mmuif taiMrt.

SHOT TV BILK DRUNK Details of av Homicide in Union Conn-tr-Ker Secrest Shoots Wuh Helms Who Die Almost Immediately Saturday evening last, in Union county, four miles west of Monroe, Key Secrest shot and almost instantly killed Wash Helms. From a gentle man from Monroe who was in the city yesterday a reporter of The Obsebyeb learned some of the particulars. Secrest is & fanner and miller of Union county and Helms was an em ploye of his and lived in the same yard. They had been in Monroe Satur day and had something of a quarrel during a settlement of some accounts between them. Helms was drinking and all the way home he was interrupting and stopping Secrest's team, driven by a little son of the latter. When they reached home, Helms, followed Secrest into his house, continuing to curse and make himself very offensive.- Secrest ordered him out of the house and he retired to the gate, where he still cursed and defied Secrest Mr. Alexan der, father-in-law of Secrest, a gentle man between 50 and 60, went out and told Helms to go away and not make such a fool of himself. "Don't call me a fool," said Helms. "Why that's just what you are now," replied the old man. Helms struck him in the eye and knocked him down. The blow was very severe, and it is said Mr. Alexan der is badly bruised. Secrest and Helms's wife now both came out The wife attempted to lead the drunken man away, and Secrest to drive him. He struck Secrest and knocked him down, but either while falling or while getting up, (the wit nesses disagree), Secrest fired. The ball struck Helms just above the heart and ranged upward. He struggled to ward Secrest, struck him several blows and then fell. He died within three minutes after he was shot. Helms's wife, it is said, had hold of him, trying to get him away, when the fatal shot was fired. Secrest made no attempt to escape, but delivered himself up to the author ities. He is now in jail in Monroe. He is a brother of Hoke Secrest, whose trial two years ago for the murder of his wife and acquittal on the plea of insanity will be remembered. He bears a very good character in Union. Railroads and Railroad Men. Col. A. B. Andrews was in the city yesterday. He says the cars on the Western North Carolina Railroad will cross Sandy Mush to-day or" to morrow, reaching Ivy by Saturday. Air-Line men report that the 500 room hotel in Ogelthorpe Park, the grounds for the Atlanta Exposition, has been rented for three months to Brown, of the Markham House, for $6,000. The drinking privileges have also been let for $3,500. Visitors to Atlanta say that the space allowed for the Piedmont Air Line display is quite large, and the railroad men say that the display will be in conformity to the space. Travel is first rate on all the rail roads. All trains come in and go out full. The Philadelphia excursion of which a brief notice appeared in this Eaper a few days ago is from Greens oro only.it seems. Railroad men here say they know nothing of it while the Battle-Ground says the fare from Greensboro will be only $7.00. The time of the excursion is not definitely fixed. There will be no special rates as was anticipated by some to the fancy dress ball at Morehead on the 30th and Qlof rVy a rnriil q r en m mdr rpt.nrn rateg $15.90, will rule oh that occa- a ion. Engineer Carter Jones has at last got out on the main line. The boys gave him a good send off yesterday when he left for Atlanta on the through freight. Redaction in Price of Fertilizers meeting of Cleaveland and York County Farmers; Whitakek, S. C, Aug. 20, 1881. To the Editor of The Observer. At a meeting held this day at this place, composed of farmers of York county, S. C., and Cleaveland county, N. C, W. M. Harry was chosen chair man, and M. M. Tate requested to act as secretary. The chairman having explained the object of the meeting to be a reduction in the price of fertilizers used in con sequence of the continued drought that prevailed m our enure section or coun try the present season, then proceed ed, with other prominent farmers, to ascertain from each farmer attending the large meeting, the quantity of cot ton and corn he would, in his judgment, raise the present year. The following figues were the result of the investigation : Of cotton of a crop, and of corn of a crop. Tne meeting was largely anenaea and composed of farmers from every section of our community. The motion being put as to a reduc tion it was unanimously voted that the several guano companies .and manu facturers be requested to reduce guano bills one-half, as on account of the pres ent distressing state of things it would be impossible for the farmers to pay more than one-half and be enabled to make a crop the ensuing year, and a petition will be sent each company, through'their agents at this place and vicinity to that effect. It was moved that a copy of these proceedings be sent to The Charlotte Weekly Observer, Yorkville En quirer and Shelby Aurora, with a re quest that they publish the same. On motion the meeting then adjourn ed. W. M. Harry,. M. M. Tate, Chairman. Secretary. A Comparatively InstXriificent Cavse. N. Y. Sun. Howgate's is a comparatively insig nificant case. The difference is, it has become known. He is a defaulter in a sum ranging between $50,000 and $100,000. It is already establishes that two women drew money directly which was charged to the Signal Ser vice fund, for which they are not known to have rendered any service One of them ia the woman In the" How gate case; the other is sufficiently known to establish -.all that any de cent man wants to know. It is not probable, however, that it will ever be known how many fallen women' were supported in this way, No one doubts that the number is very considerable. MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH '."' ' .
