The . air and the clouds looked more like a genuine rainy season was coming than they have since April. tW The wnite horse ridden by Mr. Geo. Holland at the circus was one sold to the Robinsons by Mr. R. M. Miller. of this city last fall, when the show went through. He was sold on ac count of his viciousness, which seems to have been pretty well trained out of him. tdeTThe case of the Erie City Iron Works vs. the Richmond & Danville railroad company for the recovery of $700 damages to machinery from piling cotton around it, the cotton being af terwards burnt, was tried yesterday in the Superior Court. No damages were given by the jury. iy The miniature chip referred to in Wednesday's paper, was purchased from a disabled seaman at the Soldiers' Home, near Hampton, Va by Master Elton Darden, of the latter place, and pi esented to Mrs. R.

They are the same bonds ' for the remainder of which, about $60,000 worth, the road has itself brought suit against the city. The de fense of the city will be that the road was not built to the terminus proposed, when the bonds were subscribed.. The Ifteaalte afl Circus Day. ' "The mayor's court was, as was ta be expected the morning after circus day, remarkably well attended yesterday morning. Ben Byrne, colored, was fined $2.50 and costs for a plain drunk and down. Ben Hall, white, ornamented his drunk with disorderly conduct and ob scene language before ladies. In de fault of $10 and costs he was ordered to work with the chain gang for twenty-five days. Isam Fullenwider, colored, was fined $2.50 for a d. and d. Henry Weddington and Lee Thomp son, each were were fined $5 and costs for drunkenness and profanity . , 1. L . A Hceae Between tk Shot?. Quite a sensation was caused at the circus, Wednesday night, by the at tapk of one soiled dove qpo4 another. They were both quite handsome and well dressed. They were blonde and brunette, and the blonde was the ag gressor. She stepped up before the prunette jnst lifter the mornipg show, While the audience were readjusting for the concert, drew" back her jewellfo hand and the report of the opened palm as it smote the rosy cheek of the brunette with all the force which a jealous woman could exert, rang through the canvas like a thous and kisses in one. The rich color of the darjc eyed houri's face was deepen ed to glowing crimson, not only by the blood which., rushed to bide the pale finger prints of the blonde, but with a generous blush, worthy of a maiden's shame. She drew back for ref uge behind a companion without the slightest show of resentment, and the indignant blonde sheered off with flash ing eyes and haughty contempt, ine moving and confusion of the audience Shielded the incident from general ob- BU - - 4 Haittral '"ty ener.

Johnny Zimmerman and Coot Ross came running and crying to Mrs.-Zimmerman, the mother of the first named. With great Excitement and childish ge thev said that while shooting irds with their gum slings in a field just beyond the Air-Line depot, near which they live,they had seen a little ne 6 w boy lying dead across a path with his skull r pht open. They had not gone quite up to the body but had run hur riedly home to tell the tale. It was true. The news spread quick ly and a crowd gathered rapidly. A reporter of The Observer reached the spot about 12:30. WEEPING AROUND THE .BODY. The child lay as his murderers had left him. His legs were stretched across a path just entering a thin strip of young pines. A ghastly wound just above the right ear bad broken the Bkull from temple to temple, and an other sharper wound across the brow had pierced nearly to the brain. The small brown fists of the poor little fel low were closed tightly, bat the arm lay easily about the head as if he slept. On one side lay the rusty anddull, but heavy blade of a hay cutter. On the back qf it was a splotch of blood and on the edge another telling the story of the wounds. On the other side of the. body lay the boy's black wool hat covered with drying spots of blood. One of the pockets of the .child's pants was turned wrong side out and hung to the ground. The mother was there and her cries were pitiful to the last de gree. She wrung her hands and bowed her body, and repeated continually in thA wllrioar. rrrat' "Thaw dat poor little boy for $1X0 they done killed my child for $1.60, when they mighter took it 'thout killin' 'im." The women around her with the ouick and demonstrative sympathy of their race, caugnc up tne motners wail and an swered in a heart rending chorus of mourning. The father came up while the women cried. He had been told wmle at work up town that his bov had been killed and came without ques tion. The dark skin does not tell the story of the heart like the white. The retreating blood leaves little sign of fear or grief in the blank black face ; but when Ed. Femberton, the father, looked at his dead child jeiterday he was aimosc paie. aw, ne is evidently a strong man and a slight nervous wringing of the hands was all the sign he gave of his great agony, as he lifted the leaves which had been thrown oyer the boy's head to keep the flies from the wound. He wanted the body taken home at once but was told it could not be done until the coroner consented. "What's he doing way out here," he said, "somebody must have fooled bim out here to kill him. He would never have come by himself." A scene so well calculated to excite sympathy is seldom witnessed and that of the crowd took an active turn. A BOY WAS ARRESTED Who came to Charlotte from Rock Hill, S. C, Wednesday to see the circus. He had been observed by several peo- 1 3 A. 1 A T 1 . A. i. i i. pie arounu tue .ir-Xjine uepob mat, morning where, also, the dead boy, Walter Femberton, had been seen play ing after he collected, as directed by his mother, a washing bill of $1.50 from an employe at the engine house. The boy arrested said his name was John Erwin but he was called John Bogus in Rock Hill. When apprehend ed he was on an engine in the Air-Line yard. He was taken to the scene of the murder and confronted with the corpse, lie was quiet ana saia wnen asked what he thought of it : "I think the man as done it ought to be hung. I know you all think as 1 done it but I didn't." An attempt was made to identify the tracks of the prisoner with tracks through some plowed ground near by, which were thought to be those of the murderer; but the imper fect tracks could not be accurately measured,nor is it at allcertain that they were made by the murderers. Erwin or Bogus is nearly full grown, apparently about 19 years of age. very black, with a rough skin and altogether a rather repulsive negro type, but whether or not he is guilty is a matter of very great doubt. So great was the feeling of the crowd at the scene of the murder that there is little aouot Dut that this boy would have been lynched if the evidence against him had been at all conclusive. His manner under examination was, "however, much in his favor, and there is little doubt that his account of himself and working his way from Rock Hill to see the eircua is correct Here is the extent of the case against him, as gathered by a reporter of Ti?B. Observer and the coroner's jury: THE WITNESSES. Nathan Hurd, colored, ah employe of the Air-Line -Railway, toiq. tne repor ter that h had seen the bor Femer ton, yesterday morning before noon, playing around the platform in compa ny with another boy somewhat larger and blacker. He saw the small boy whom he knew, with a greenback bill in his hand and the larger boy snateh at it as if in play. He had not given particular attention to the boys and could not identify Erwin as the larger boy he bad seen. He didn't notice them afterwards. MR, w. r. DAVIS, An employe of the Air-Line Railway testified that in the forenoon yesterday, at what hour he would not say, Walter Femberton, the deceased, had come to where he (witness) was at work at the pump house of the Air-Line road. He also saw a Doy, wnom ne luenuueu . . .. t.! -1 4. as tne prisoner, approacmug uuui 100 yards behind Pemberton. Wnen the latter had been driven off, this boy came up and asked for work which be ing declined be also left, returning to ward the Atlantip, Tennessee Ohio depot, from iyjiiph he had come, but he made a deviation towards the field where the murder was committed, in which direction Femberton had also gone. Erwin was still about 100 yards from Femberton. - Several witnesses testified to having Men the fiottintr knife blade with Other scrap iron on the Air-Line depot plat form.

We are able to lay additional particu lars in regard to the murder of Miss Caroline Thompson, of Alexander county, before our readers this morn ing, or which so much has been said in these columns. The first due -to the murder was a letter from a postmaster in Alleghany to the postmaster at Taylorsville Inqui ring if there was any peculiarity about the money stolen and if there was any reward offered for the arrest of the per petrators. A special messenger was immediatelely sent there. He found that two suspicious looking men had spent some old silver money there, one piece a very old and rare French coin. The older person had written his ini tials, E. F. C. on a box containing a pis tol which he contracted for and said he would send the money for it and his comdanion had, a little boy, son of the postmaster, remembe j el, called him wLi j," saying to him, "Lij, play the boy a tune." (They carried a fiddle) They told the postmaster that Perliers creek, Wilkes county, was theirpostoffice. The messenger returned to Wilkesboro and learned that Perlier's creek was the postoffice near where Elija Church lived that at about that time it was reported that Church had taken atrip to Virginia and (a few days later, through the efforts of citizens of Wilkes) that E. H. Dockery had accom panied him on that trip. Warrants were issued for them to the sheriff of Wilkes and a further effort made to find their tracks. In a short time Dockery was arrest ed, tried and committed, and in addi tion to the proof against him on the ex amination before the magistrate he came out ten davs aero and made a f nil statement, in which he said that he and Church alone were present and robbed the house: that Church killed Miss Thompson ; that on the same evening he and Church called at John Adams's six miles from Wilksboro, when Church said to Adams: . "By G d we raised it." Adams replied : "It's a fine thing." Church then handed Adams one bag of the silver money. Adams inquired What became of tne woman, the reply to which he did not hear. They then .pursued their way to their own neighborhood, changed their clothes and secreted them in a pile of chestnut rails, and Dockery hid his boots under a large chestnut log, one hundred yards distant He described the clothes worn by each and the clothes were sent for and found hid as described, and compared to the description given of Dockery and his companion on the evening of the rob bery, as seen by witnesses, on the first investigation. The boots also were par ticularly described by two of those wit nesses. On Wednesday, the 7th inst, Adams was brought to Taylorsville and bound in $1,500 to answer for receiving stolen goods. On Saturday morning, Church was turned over to the Sheriff of Alex ander, as already stated, by his brother-in-law, Thos. Winton, and a neighbor, Henry Eller, both of Wilkes county. On the evidence of Dockery, corrobora ted by the clothing found, the money and many other circumstances, he was committed to jail to await his trial at the next term of Alexander Superior Court There was a considerable demonstra tion on Sunday the 11th, looking toward the lynching of Church, which was only prevented by the prompt action of Sher- ST - M 11 J - A in mays, juanyoi: me ixxi citizens 01 Alexander, who by sending messages to people, representing the moral effects of their action, induced them to let the law take its course. There are others yet at large implica tedperhaps one other the prime mo ver. Church has been moved to Cataw ba county j ail for greater securi ty. The people -of that immediate section are satisfied that they now have some of the men who concocted and committed the robbery and murder, which as be fore stated, occurred in Alexander county on the 10th of June last STILL. ANOTHER HANGING. Bea Brawn Menleocea to be Executed obi the 25 ill of November Cor Bnrg lry. When Ben Brown was arraigned for sentence for the burglary of the house of Mr. Wm. Eller, near the, city, for which crime he was convicted Tuesday, Judge Avery, in the course of his im- eessive remarks, before the; sentence, Id the prisoner that he need not look for pardon, as there was little or no hope for it His Honor's advice to the prisoner was to make every effort to prepare himself for death.: Here Brown rose and thanked the Judge for tbe ad vice. He was, he said, entirely unpre pared to die. He hoped to make his peace with his God, and intended to de vote every moment to the earnest pur suit of repentance and forgiveness. He hoped that His Honor could find it within the limits of his duty to extend the time for his execution to as remote a date as possible. The Judge answered that he sin cerely hoped the prisoner was sincere in what he said; and that he would act upon his intentions. He would grant bis request and the time of execution should be fixed on Friday, the 25th of November, "When you, Ben Brown, convicted of the capital crime of burg lary, shall be taken from the jail of this county, in which you shall, in the meantime," be confined, and hanged by the heck until you are dead ; and may God have mercy on your, soul." This is just four weeks after the day of execution for Allen Johnson, con victed of tbe murder of Blind Crump. The executions, in all probability, would have been on the same day, or within a few davs of each other but for the request of the prisoner to be allow ed as much time as possible. mm, t a THE OBSERVER ENDORSED. w Let the Western North Careliaa Rtl road be C0fpletel, and Let Freight DicrttnUitleite, wherever.they Ex. If t, be Corrected. To the Editor of The Observer; Allow me to congratulate you upon your article on tne raiiroaa trouDies. The views expressed in tnat article are eminently wise and practical. If there is any discrimination on the part of the Bichmond and Danville road in freight against North Carolina towns, let the matter be adjusted and settled. The railroad commission say there is unjust discrimination. Col. Buford, President ef the Richmond and Danville road, insists that there is not, so far as he knows, and if there is, and it is pointed out to him it shall be. corrected. This is all we ougnc tq ass, one tne construc tion of the Western Railroad is quite another question andone of great inter est to our pepnle. The Bichmond and lJtanyuie roaa are now . uuug ait any- body pomd do to pusft the construction to completion.
