term.
tSTCapt J. B. Stafford, ef Baltimore,
president of the Baltimore & North

A small trestle near Asheville
on the Western North Carolina road
gave way Sunday evening and the mail
and baggage cars smashed. The en
gineer was slightly hurt. It threw the
train about three hours and a half be
hind. A Quiet lterlwl.
The protracted meeting at the Tryon
Street Methodist church is being some
what differently conducted from Meth
odist revivals, usually. Mr. Bagwell,
night before last, when the first call
was made for penitents, announced
that there would be no singing, but
that they would come forward quietly
and join in prayer. He did not desire
to excite them into professions, which
time might not prove. Emotional ap
peals will be avoided. About twenty
five went up to the altar.
Arrival of "Chief." .- , .r .
All of John Robinson's biz show ar
rived in the city last night The- dis
embarking of 'Old Chief who was

losses In Detail-. Flutter Heap mt
U1 r Xerdjr Incident.
The fire night before last was the
topic of discussion yesterday. The late
hour of its occurrence prevented more
than a brief notice in yesterday's Ob
server. The full losscannot ex
actly estimated as it is impossible to
say how much the Carolina Central

books.- The building destroyed was not
th more than $2,000, and was the
property of the Carolina Central,idw

toserv about 55 tons of rags, -worth
about $2,000, the property of that firm,
which was stored in the basement of
the burnt building, being consumed.
Xhe rags were not insured. The rail
road company, were not, Mr. W. Tiddy
Himself states, responsible for this loss
as the rags were stored there by agree
ment. ThePortner brewery company
loses about $800. The loss is amply

the house belonging to R.M. Oates, in

insured fullv. Th fumim
Carolina Central buildin was wnrt.h
$150 to $200. Several bales of cotton
on the adjacent city cotton platform
caught fire and were damaged to some
extent, but $100 will cover the loss here.
Not including the loss rn r.h Parnlina
Central by the destruction of its books
the estimate of veRbm-d av mnrninof
($8,000) is considerably over the mark ;
$5,000 is nearer the actual destruction
of property.

several times during the fire.
ine neap of rags were still flaming
all day yesterday, but are nearlv extin-
guished as we go to press. Water was
so scarce that the firemen could do
hardly anything.
The origin of the fire is not known.
Some attribute it to the spontaneous
combustion of the rags, but Mr. Tiddy
states that he had visited the storeroom
during the afternoon and could detect
notning to indicate an unhealthy condi
tion of the razs. Besides srjontaneous
combustion don't happen every day.
An incendiary origin is suggested by
some, but without circumstantial evi
dence or definite suspicion. .
The fire points to the necessity for more
hose and more water, and the Neptune
nre company, nave again rendered the
people of Charlotte grateful.
A Collision and a Dead Engineer.
Neither the fast mail nor the exDresa
due here at twelve night before last ar
rived. They reached here in two sec
tions yesterday afternoon at about 3
o'clock.
The occasion of the detention was in
the first place a collison at Granite a
station four miles this side of Belle Isle,
and in the second place the obstruction
of a run off freight between Burkeville
ana Danville. The latter is a rumor
and the railroad men won't give up
facts, so it goes for what it is worth.
But the collision was a collision to the
extent of a dead engineer and several
slightly bruised.
r rom one on ooara toe express irom
Richmond Monday afternoon (one of
the colliding trains) this accouut is
gathered: Granite is the regular pass
ing place for the Southern bound ex
press and the Burkeville accommoda
tion tram returning to lucnmond. The
Burkeville accommodation was stand
ing on the main track at Granite, tak
ing on a man who had been hurt by a
construction train. It -should have
been on a siding, it seems. It was ju3t
a little after noon when .Engineer
Nicholas Mosely, of the express came
around the curve from the river and it
was but a few seconds later when his
engine struck that of the Burkeville
accommodation standing on tne main
track. The smoke and steam obscured
everything about the engines, but in a
moment Engineer Mosely dropped from
the telescoped tender with bis leg cut
off and hangingto the stump by a piece
of his pants. He died that night No
others on either train were seriously
hurt, it is said, though several were
somewhat bruised.
Engineer Mosely was a Richmond
man and ran only to Greensboro.
How Did It Get There f
A ladv of this city recently returned
from a visit to relatives in Norfolk and
vicinity, brought back with her a nau
tical curiosity in the shape of a minia
ture ship, enclosed in a bottle. The ship
filled the bottle, and puzzled many na
tives of this dry town as to the manner
of its getting into the flask. Some of
the unitiated suggested the probability
of the bottle having been built around
the ship. This recalls the anecdote re
lated of the simple George IlL, of Eng
land, who, while on a hunting expedi
tion in a remote corner of his kingdom,
late one day entered a small farm house
wnere an agea zemaie was preparing
the family meal. Not knowing His
Majesty from any other worm of the
dust, tne ancient dame, alter tne nsuai
salutations, continued in her work. The
King, of all the English, watched her
movements witn interest, ana at lengm
asked what she was doing. "Making ap
ple dumpling, sir,Msbe replied. The King
picked up one of the soft, round balls,
examined it closely, and then, with
mystification in his countenance, ex
claimed: Where where got the ap
ples in it."
Railroad Iflen In Council.
Col. A. S. Buford, Gen. T. M. Logan,
and Col. G. J. Foreacre and President
Hood of the Knoxville and Clayton
road, were in Charlotte yesterday in
consultation, it is understood, in regard
to the consolidation and completion 01
the three lines of railroad between Au
gusta, Ga and Knoxville, Tenn. The
one completed betweep the first named
city-and Athens, and the two latter
leading through Rabun Gap, down the
Tennessee-river to jvnoxviiie. &mari
railroad men these days don't let the
newspapers into their secrets, and we
can ply give as an outside rumor that
intbeeyent that if satisfactory terms 01
consolidation can be arranged, Col.
Foreacre is to be the new president of
the consolidated Jme, complete tne un
finished portion to Knoxville at light
ning speed, and there join his road with
what is Known as tne coie system. . x
will also be friendly to the Richmond
and Danville syndicate, if it does not
become a part of that system.
Verily, we know not 'what a day or
an hour may bring forth, but .we dq
know that if Col. Foreacre is

DOOITIED TO THE SCAFFOLD.
AlleM Johnston to Pay the Penalty of
' Hla Crime.
' Allen Johnson was arraigned for
sentence-in the Superior Court yester
day morning. The readers of The
Observer are familiar with his crime
and his trial. He was convicted by the
dying declarations 01 nis victim and
his own confessions as proved noon
him, of the murder in February, 1880,
or a onna ana neipiess 01a negro nam
ed Crump who was a well known char
acter in Charlotte. Johnson and his
companions, Gus McKnight and anoth
er negro named Camp took this old
man into the woods and there beat him
with sticks over the head and face
fracturing his skull and disfiguring
nimoeyona recognition, jonnsonwas
acting as blind Crump's trusted leader
on a long journey he proposed. Mc
Knight and Camp both died in jail.
jonnson was apprenenaea only six
weeks ago.
With judicial solemnity intensified
to the occasion Judge Avery proceeded
to point out the revolting brutality of
tne crime. Extreme depravity and
brutality alone could have induced
such a crime in a stranger to its victim,
"out,- said tne J naze, "you were nis
trusted guide, you were his protector
and friend, you were the eyes through
wnicn tne Dund man looked to ms safe
ty, you betrayed him and are convicted
Dy your country. It becomes my sol
emn duty to sentence you to the pun
ishment of death for your crime !"
The time for execution was fixed on
Friday, the 28th of October.
During the sentence Johnson seemed
somewhat affected but his emotion was
betrayed only by slight twitchings of
tne auu xeatures.
ANOTHER CAPITAL. CONVICTION,
Ben Brown's Trial for Bnrfflary
Concluded To be Sentenced this
Morning.
The evidence against Ben Brown for
the burglary of the residence of Mr.
Wm. Eller was stated in brief yesterday
morning. The trial was concluded in
the Superior Court yesterday. No
further witnesses were introduced.
His tracks found in the field and road
adjoining the house, his confessions to
young Hall and the fact of his having
lived on the place at the time and other
circumstances made such a case against
him as to leave no doubt of his guilt
The jury returned with a verdict of
guilty in about two hours. The in
sensible face of the prisoner displayed
little emotion on the announcement of
the fatal word.
Brown is to be sentenced this morn
ing to be hanged for burglary.
The counsel for the prisoner made
every effort to save him, but they work
ed against great odds.
The Street Parade.
The street parade of John Robinson's
circus will be formed between the
hours of 9 and 10 this morning. The
line of march will be from the depot up
Third street to Tryon, up Tryon nearly
to the Lincoln depot, from Tryon to
Church, up Church to Trade, up Trade
to College and via College street back
to the depot. The elephant "Chief
will be in the street parade well chain
ed and guarded.
Mayor's Court.
At the mayor's court yesterday morn
ing Ed. Williams was fined $5 and costs
for an assault on the police. Police
man Stevens alleges that when Samuel
Pettus was arrested Saturday night
Williams interfered and wrenched his
(Stevens') arm from Pettus. Williams
appealed to the Inferior Court
Maniius Means was nned $2.50 and
costs for being drunk and disorderly.
"Prince" Albert Wallace paid $2.50
for exuberance on the streets.
Jane Springs, colored, paid $5.50 for
loud cursing on the streets.
