HOME PENCIJL1NOS,
tNearly all our cotton future buy
ers are bulls.
EST Charlotte Female Institute has
03 pupils instead oC 75 as stated yester
day. .
tiTThe hard times don't seem to
affect the keenuess of the colored appe
tite for the big show.
lThe heap of rags was still flaming
all day yesterday at the ruins of the
Carolina Central offices.
t3T There were numerous arrests for
druukenness yesterday, and the station
house was full, but very few fights
marred the great happiness of circus
day.
The Carolina Central offices are
temporarily located in the cotton com
press building. Brick offices will prob
ably be built on the site of the old
building.
tThe Louisville Commercial man
who announces the theory that negroes
do not kiss each other, would have been
staggered in his ideas if he had dropped
in on Charlotte yesterday.
t5T The case of assault and battery
against Policemen Stevens, Carter and
Blackwelder, will not be tried at this
term of court, as the court will be occu
pied the rest of the week on the civil
docket which is taken up this morning.
13T A mule ran away with a wagon
yesterday and for some distance during
bis run was on the sidewalk of Tryon
street between Fifth and Sixth. The
walk was crowded with men, women
and children witnessing the circus pa
rade, out strange to say no one receiv
ed the slightest hurt.
EST The passenger shed built before
the purchase of the Air Line at the R.
& D. depot which is now unused since
all the trains run to the Air Line depot,
is being torn down and the lumber will
be taken to Greenville and Spartanburg
to be used in the construction of new
depots there.
tThe Spartanburg Herald says:
"We are glad to welcome Capt. Ed. Ba
con and family back to Spartanburg.
He has been in Charlotte for some two
or three years, but has returned now to
become permanently located at Spar
tanburg as chief clerk in the office of
Messrs. Walker, Fleming & Co., cotton
buyera-etc." I :
Mr. Bacon made many friends here
during his residence.
Storm In Iredell.
Northwest Iredell had quite a severe
storm Sunday last. Trees were up
rooted and the tobacco quite badly cut
up by the hail. In Statesville the wind
was not quite so severe, but the rain
was abundant. A correspondent says
it was "beautiful."
HaatlngM Appeal.
W. C. Hastings, convicted of forgery
at the present term of the Superior
court, and sentenced Tuesday to three
years in the penitentiary, has taken an
appeal to the Supreme court. The ap
peal has been granted. He is admitted
to bail in the sum of $500.
The WhUkejr Cane.
The case of the city against W.' It.
Cochrane for selling spirituous liquors
without a license which was argued yes
terday in the Superior Court, turned on
the legal question as to whether a
license issued by the sheriff instead of
by the county commissioners was good.
The Judge has not yet given his opin
ion. Hefclg-nation ! Rev. K. A. Win gar d.
liev. E. A. Wingard, the popular pas
tor of the Lutheran church, has, ft is
learned with much regret, determined
to resign the charge of the church here.
He preaches on Sunday, but whether or
not it will be his farewell sermon he
has not yet decided, as ills departure
may be deferred for some weeks. He
has been thinking of accepting a
charge near Columbia, but considera
tion for health may induce him to
go home for a protracted rest
The EntlrlMs-Three Card.
The mulatto boy arrested Tuesday
evening as he disembarked from the
Lincolnton train, was tamed loose yes
terday morning, it appearing that he
was not the man wanted. Detective
Boynton, of Robinson's circus, states
that the parties he Is after are two mu
latto boys, who have been following
thl circus for some time. When it was
in Shelby they enticed some country
men to stake various sums, ranging
from $25 to $100 on the ancient decep
tions of three card monte. The coun
trymen, strange to say, did not guess
the right cards, and it seems that the
effort to get the- right man is about to
he a failure.
Another af the Murderers. Captured.
Our Statesville correspondent writes
that Church, one of the principals in
tbe Caroline Thompson homicide, com
mitted in Alexander, says t
"And now they have Lige Church in
jail. His two brothers-in-law brought
him down to TaylprsyiUe last Saturday.

The return of John Robinson's circus
SnSi-S" presence of the elephant
Chief in our midst recalls so vividly
the death of poor John King, in this
city last fall, that reporter of The
OBspvER was impelled yesterday to
hunt up Johnny Lowlow, the gentle
man clown, who has been with Robin
son so many years, and collect these
mmirL.f tne famous elephant :
"Chier is about 21 years old, although
Koblnson has owned him only about
nine or ten years. He was purehased
from the proprietors of tne Cincinnati
hippodrome.
Until about a year ago he was
AS GENTLE AS A LAMB.
u Although, remarked Mr. Lowlow,
he did kill twoor three negroesduring
that time but it was all done in f nn.
He never got into a rage. He knocked
one or two 'coons' over who were a lit
tle too fresh and they died afterwards,
uut during the spring of 1880 he be
gan to show temper ana a desire to do
serious mischief. He would get into
frequent rages, lay about promiscuous
ly with his trunk and fiercely attack
stone walls or any such trifling ob
structions, dashing his ivory tusks
against the solid masonry with a
strength which threatened to break
them off.
STANDING ON JJIS HEAD
was one of the tricks of his old playful
days, and on one occasion after his
viciousness developed be practiced this
feat with seeming good humor. Al
though he had gathered a negro in with
his trunk with the seeming intention
of atomizing him, he delicately placed
him on the ground and placing his huge
tusks Carefully on each side of the ter
rified darkey and his broad forehead in
the saw dust of the arena, hoisted his
ample posterior in the air and waved
his flabby tail in triumphant glee. It
is said that darkey is not fond of ele
phants since that time.
About this time John King, the keep
er, announced that he was going to
make "Chief the
WORST ELEPHANT IN THE WORLD.
He would not punish the elephant, nor
would he allow any one else to do so.
Mr. Lowlow says King pursued this
policy to keep his position with the
sliow
Well, "Chief did get to be very bad,
and finally Mr. Robinson, seeing that
the elephant would hurt somebody if
his viciousness was not subdued, de
termined to have him severely pun
ished. King declined to do anything.
THE ELEPHANT PUNISHED.
The circus was then traveling up and
down the Ohio river, and one day,
"Chief getting on his ear on a steam
boat, a halt was ordered at an island
in the river, and the elephant was dis
embarked. Ropes Were flung over the
brawny branches of a huge tree and
tied to the monster's legs. A strong
pull by many men jerked his feet from
under mm and ne was rolled over on nis
back. His trunk was lassoed and tied,
and six or eight men at a time would
dash at him with spears, thongs and oth
er horrible instruments of torture to
pierce his thick hide. But it was all
no good; old "Chief would not squeal.
It was determined to burn the spirit
out of him. Sticks of wood were rolled
against his carcass and hoops saturated
with kerosene thrown over his huge
legs kicking in the air. The torch was
applied and the elephant subdued.
"Such cries," said Mr. Low low, "neither
mann or brute ever sent up before. They
were pitiful beyond description." A
huge scar on the side of the old ele
phant now tells the story of his terri
ble punishment.
KING WEEPS AS THE ELEPHANT CRIES.
While this torture was going on,
King, the keeper, sat on a log and wept
and cursed as the elephant cried. "1 11
make some of you s ns of b s suffer
for this," he said between his sobs.
" 'Chief shall kill some of you P
King was himself the first victim.
For three months after the punishment
on the island, a more docile elepnant
than "Chief was never seen. His first
rage afterward was in Charlotte last
fall when he killed John King, whose
mildness had begotten the fierceness of
the animal. King now lies buried in
Elm wood cemetery in this city. A
handsome monument, erected by his
fellow showmen, marks his grave.
With the story of his death, Charlotte
people are familiar.
About two months after the tragedy
in cnariotte, "unier crusnea a man
named Sullivan in Cincinnati so se
verely that he lay in the hospital for
some months, but finally recovered. A
new keeper was gotten for him, a man
named Dula, who has him in charge
now. Dula is said to be the best keeper
the circus has ever had. He has the
elephant under complete control, and
his courage is perfect But still the
animal is subiect to his fierce fits of
rage. He broke out afresh in Piedmont,
West Vircdnia. last SDrmg when ne
dashed frantically through a crowd,
and ran six miles into the country ne
fore he was overtaken and captured by
men on horseback. He cut up consid
erably in Warrenton. Goldsboro and
Tarboro, and in Raleigh he crushed a
larcre doer. But tne snowmen can ten
when his fits are coming on in time to
RftfitirA him with heavier chains man
those he wears continually. His tusks
havn alan heart Rawed off.
The female elephant "Mary," it will
b remembered. Dursued ana Knocsea
"Chief" down when he escaped here
last fall, but although "Mary" is larger,
she is getting old and is now somewhat
afraid of him nerseir.
WILL NOT NOTICE A DUBNKEN MAN.
Mr. Lowlow, however, states that the
curious fact has been observed that the
ipnhant does not seem to Dear any
malice towards intoxicated men. They
frequently come within his reach with
annoyances, but he pays no attention,
seeming to be aware wnen me jmenor
animal man is drunk. This forbear
anRA fa alw extended to children, and
indeed his malice seems to be directed
more esneciallv towards the showmen,
every one of whom be seems to know.

THE BIG SHOW.
Old J 9km Kokdnoea'o Bays da aa Dl
. credit ta the Old ShewMia's Itepn
tatltm V ' '
John Bobinson's circus yesterday
fully sustained its long established
character. From the grand entry to
the closing act 'there was. a constant
succession, of first class feats of the
arena. The riding, the acrobats and
tumblers, and tbe wonderful exhibition
of strength by the man who handled
the iron balls were particularly good.
And this feature, of the circus is what
makes it immortal. As long as there
is admiration for grace, strength, skill
and nerve, so long will the circus be
safe from condemnation for its coarse
ness. The showman who gives most
of that and least of the contemptible
jugglery and trickery, deserves most
from the public The circus yesterday
was distinguished for the number and
character of these manly exhibitions.
The bare back riding of Mr. Geo. Hol
land was especially fine, and the nerve
of Signor Amerita in leaping from his
horse through the ring of knives was
thrilling. The acrobatic performances
were especially brilliant Equally so
were the horizontal bar exhibitions,
and the double trapeze performance by
a man and woman on one side and a
boy and a girl, both quite young, on
the other, was very fine. The lame
ness of the boy, however, was rather
painfully suggestive of the hardships
of his young life. The trained dogs
make decidedly the best exhibition of
the kind in the country. Johnny Low
low, the clown, was, as usual, inimita
ble. The menagerie this year is much full
er than last year. Among the most re
markable curiosities are two giraffes
which have been with the circus only
about three weeks, the taminoir. or ant
bear, the most peculiar looking animal
ever exhibited here, the rhinoceros, a
double-humped camel, beside a drove
of dromedaries, the big ox, weighing
2,500 pounds in his present lean condi
tion from the severity of the weather,
and last but not least, the
man-killing elephant "Chief," who
was brought into the ring heavi
ly chained. The elephants are re
markably well trained. The large
troop of small ponies was much ad
mired. The street parade was ordina
rily good.
It is said that Miss King, the female
rider who acquitted herself so credit
ably, is a sister of John King, killed
here last fall by Chief.
The concert after the show retained
most of the audience, the price being
reduced to ten cents, and it was in this
part of the performance that the man
was fired out of the cannon.
The electric light is a great advantage
at the night performance. The bright
ness is dazzling.
The circus left last night via the Car
olina Central for Monroe.
The crowds in town and attending
the two performances were fully as
large as usual. The impending hard
times don't seem to have had much ef
fect. MADE FROM HARMLESS MATERIALS, and

troubled with dandruff, with a severe itching of
the scalp, and my hair falling oat I tried almost
every known remedy, all proving worthless. See
