had the strength!" If you are
broken down, have not energy, or

of a shell, and have suffered
from it ever sirfce. About four

live. I suffered fearfully from
indigestion, and for over two
years could not eat solid food

time was unable to retain even
liquid nourishment. I tried
Brown's Iron Bitters andnow
after talcing two bottles I am
able to get up and go around
and am rnpidly improving.
BROWN'S IRON BITTERS is

How a Crab Orchard Magistrate Does
Business.
One day last week a colored man
named Monroe Morris, applied to a
magistrate in Crab Orchard township,
to straighten up affairs between him
self and wife. Monroe's wife had de

After heariug the evidence in the ease,
the magistrate ordered that Monroe
pay the costs amounting to two dollars,
and that his wife be required to report
back to him within two weeks, or be
sent to the county jail for thirty days.
The verdict in this case may be con

MOTIVE EXPLODES
.. A
'Anft Blows sc Man Into Fragmenls-The
-jtfighhnl Fate of a Fireman JVh
Built Up His Fire and Wpnt to "Sleep
An engine of the Chester and tienpir
narrow gauge railroad, exploded yester
day morning about six t 'olock, at Maid
ens, the bead of that road, with the
most terrific force, demolishing a pas
senger car and blowing the fireman to
pieces. Maidens is the terminus of the
narrow gauge road and is distant from
Lincolnton nine miles. The train was
to leave that station yesterday morning
at seven o'clock for Lincolnton and the
fireman, a colored man,, had got on the
engine at six u'clock, and started the"
fire in the furnace. No person other
than the fireman was about at the time,
'but it is supposed that afterfeuilding
the fire in the engine and leaving the
blower on, he fell asleep. The steam
rose at a rapid rate, for with the blower
of an engine open, the steam rises like
mercury in a thermometer when it is
held over a stove, and it did not take
long to reach the bursting point. The
explosion, when it did occur, was most
terrific. The engine was shivered to a
thousand atoms and the tender was
driven almost through the passenger
car attached to it, making a general
wreck of both car and tender. The
noise waked up the whole neighbor
hood and there was an immediate rush
for the spot. It was known that the
fireman was on the engine at time of
the explosion and search was at once
oegun ror nis Doay. it was round a
short distance away, horribly muti
lated and almost unrecognizable. One
leg had been torn entirely off, bones
were mashed and the whole surface of
the body was badly scalded, blackened
and bruised. A short time after the
mutilated body of the fireman was
found the dismembered leg was picked
up three hundred yards from the spot
at which the explosion occurred. Frag
ments of the engine were hurled to
great distances in all directions. It is
most fortunate that no people were
around at the time, or the loss of life
would have been great.
We could not learn the name of the
ill-fated fireman. The engine was No.
3. It i3 stated that the explosion was
distinctly heard in Lincolnton, a dis
tance of nine miles.
A Drnmmer's Returns,
Doc Horton, the wide awake and
ever living drummer for Messrs. Witt
kowsky and Baruch's wholesale estab
lishment, in this city, came home Mon
day from a jaunt through the country
round-about, and brings us a few items.
He says that Shelby is making wonder
ful improvements and is building up
rapidly. Mr. W. P. Love, the ex-mayor,
is contemplating the erection of a three
story brick building, which will be a
stylish and very handsome structure.
Mr. Love i3 also building the Shelby
Female Academy, and will have it
completed in three weeks. The people
of Shelby look, upon Mr. Love as the
most enterprising man in that section.
Miller & Brothers are also building a
large store house, and will have itcom
pleted within the next two weeks. It
will be a good bnilding and an orna
ment to Shelby. In regard to the crops,
Doc says that Cleaveland and Ruther
ford have the finest corn and cotton
crops in the State, and the farmers say
that they will make actually enough
corn to last them two years
At Rutherfordton the Baptists haye
just completed a very handsome church
and are now holding a protracted meet
ing, in which much interest is rnani
fested. Mr. B. F. Carpenter, of Brevard Sta
tion, has sold out his large stock of tin
ware and is now looking for another
"tin drummer."
Tomahawked,
Late last Saturday night a colored
woman named Annie Payne started
out in search of her husband, who had
been playing her false and had been
giving ths of his attention lately to
another fair charmer. His wife, on
meeting with him as he was return
ing from, thehoue of te ftther woman,
went at him, in real business style, and
came wKhIn an ace of making herself
a widower, She popped her liege lord
on the forehead with an Indian toma
hawk, the blow severing the frontal
artery. Blood poured out of the wound
in a great stream, and a doctor was
hurriedly Rent for. pr. Wilder arrived
yery soon and stopped the flow of blood,
but the negro was so weak that Le
fainted. Dr. Wilder says that the loss
of blood amounted to fully a half gal
lon, and the wonder is that Payne sur
vived. The couple were before the
mayor yesterday morning, and the wo
man was fined $10 and costs.
A Negrp Man in Monroe Shot Four
Times.
A very serious shooting affray occur
red between a white man named Ste
phen Gardner and a negro man, whose
name we did not get, in Monroe yester
day evening. From what we can learn
the difficulty was a trifling bar-room
quarrel. After fussing for a time, Gard
ner pulled out his pistol and opened fire
upon the negro. Four of the bullets
entered the negroe's right leg, and at
the time the train for Charlotte passed
Monroe, late last evening, the condi
tion of the wounded man was consid
ered doubtful. He is In the hands of
physicians and Qardner is in the hands
of the sheriff.
yesterday's Elections in Concord--A
Liberal Victory.
Two elections were held in Concord
yesterday, one for a board of county
commissioners and one for mayor of
the town, and both resulted in a victory
for the Liberal element. Alexander
Foil, the late Senator from Stanly and
Cabarrus, was elected, and it is under
stood will be chairman of the new
board of commissioners. R. S. Harris,
Esq., was elected mayor of the town,
vice W. G. Means, resigned. The re
sult of the election was celebrated
with a big display of enthusiasm in
Concord last night

sioners for Cabarrus are straight-out

Yesterday was quite a lively day at
tee court house and there has not been
such a stir and oustie noticed around
the "venerated pile" since the first of
the year. The occasion was the meet
ing of the board .-of justices of Mecklen
burg county to elect county commis
sioners and a superintendent of public
instruction, and to consider matters re
lating to the Inferior court. The meet
ing was called to order at 11 o'clock a.
m. R. P. Waring, Esq, was elected
chairman, and Gen. Jolm A.Young,
secretary. There was an attendance of
38 magistrates and a large number of
outsiders were also present to witness
the proceedings of the fcody. After a
number of speeches had been made,
several of them bearing upon the course
of the old board of commissioners in
the matter of liquor lictnses, the meet
ing proceeded with the nomination of
a board of county commissioners. A
number of candidates were named and
on the first ballot Messrs. R. M. Oates
and W. E. Ardrey were elected.
The second ballot resulted in no elec
tion. On the third ballot,. Messrs. J. L.
Brown, R. D. Whitley and J. R. Morris
were elected, completing the new board
of county commissioners. Of the old
board, only one, Mr. J. R. Morris, was
re-elected. It was understood in the
meeting before the election was gone
into that the men selected for the new
board would be men who would pursue
a different course in the matter of
licensing the ban - rooms, and the com
plexion of the present board is quite
different from that of the former.
The newly elected board of commis
sioners do not go into office until the
first Monday in December, when the
term of the old board expires.
On the election for a county superin
tendent of public instruction, Rev. W.
T. Waller, present incumbent, was de
feated by Mr. J. H. McClintock. The
newly elected superintendent is a grad
uate of Davidson College, and a one
armed ex-Confederate soldier. He is
said to be a gentleman of many high
qualities as a scholar and citizen and
will no doubt prove to be a most accept
able officer. Mr. Waller, the retiring
superintendent, has been most faithful
in the discharge of hte duties, and re
tires carrying with him the respect and
good will of all.
, The election of Judges and a Solicitor
for the Inferior court, was brought up,
but upon motion, the board of justices
voted unanimously not to interfere
with the present organization of the
court, but to continue it for another
year as it is. Justices S. H. Hilton, R.
P. Waring. and H. D. Stowe are the
Judges of the Inferior court, Gen. Jno.
A. Youpg is clerk, and Capt. Calvin E.
Grier is solicitor. General satisfaction
is expressed with the action of the
board,
Marrow Escape at a Railroad Crossing.
List Sunday as a large party of people
who had been attending service, at Paw
Creek church were returning to their
homes, a narrow escape from a terrible
disaster at the crossing of the Carolina
Central Railroad, was made by Mr. C.
P. Henderson, wife and child, who were
together in a buggy. At this crossing
there is an elbow in the road which
prevents approaching trains from be'ng
seen until they are almost on the cross
ing. Qn the day in question, Mr. Hen
derson had reached the crossing and his
horse was on the track, when an engine
came bounding along the rails and was
right on th m inan instant. The horse
reared and plunged to one side, and as
he Reared the track the engine shot by.
Mr. Henderson was unable to control
the horse and a dangerous runaway re
sulted, but fortunately neither he nor
his wife and child were Injured. There
was no car attached to the engine and
it was running along in charge of an
engineer and fireman, without whistling
or giving any warning notes on ap
proaching the railroad crossings. A
couple of men have been killed at this
same crossing, and for a time after each
of the accidents, engineers were care
ful to blow the whistle at the crossings,
but latterly they seem to have neglected
giving thi3 warning note. The att n
ion of the authorities should be given
to the matter.
The Mail Complaints.
We have received the following com
munication from the mail agent on the
A. T. & O. Riiilroad in regard to the
mail complaints made in Sunday's Ob
server, and very willingly give him a
chance to state his side of the affair :
To the Editor of The Observer.
In yesterday's ObseryeR there ap
pears a communication from Hunten-.
ville complaining of the mail irregu
larities between Charlotte and States
ville, which seems to be endorsed by
The Observer. Under ordinary cir
cumstances I would not notice the com-,
munication, but it is so outrageously
untrue and personal to myself that I
am compelled, in self vindication, to
say that the person is laboring under ,a
mistake.
Now, if mistakes have been made,
why not report to the- chiefs of divis
ions? It is the post master's duty to
report all ir regularises in the postal
service that may come under his obser
vation by written slips to the chief of
his division ; such slips are returned to
the agept making the mistakes at the
end of the month. As I have no errors
marked for Huntergyille, Alexandria,
or the other places named, the writer
surely is trying to build up capital for
himself, founded upon a theory that he
can't do with the facts.
If this person was really in earnest to
correct irregularities he wouid have
applied to the proper persons for a
remedy instead of trying to achieve a
little notoriety for himself at the ex
pense of others through the public
press. Very respectfully,
J. W. Gordon, Route Agt.

To the KUKor pf tbjf Obsetttr. :
to the $! 'Siid faite the hoard of Magis
trates of Mecklenburg County Yir
petitioners would pray that you tabe
into consideration the condition of oyr
public roads. We deem it superfluous
to enter upon a description of their
condition, as we think it must he evi
dent to you that our public roads are,
and have been in worse condition for
the last twelve months than for any
similar period since the war. and the
outlook for the coming winter is suffi
cient to test the faith of a Christian.
The board of supervisors of Charlotte
township (a part of your honorable
board) represented to his Honor Judge
Gudger, at our last Superior, court, that
the present road law is totally inade
quate to keep our roads in a assable
condition, and the grand jurors of both
our Superior and Inferior courts have
made reports of similar import. As onr
county commissioners are responsible
for our present road law, and therefore
for the bad condition of our public
roads, we appeal to you to whom they
(the county commissioners) are only
responsible, to give us such relief as
may be in your power. And your peti
tioners will ever pray, &c.
