STRONG
FACTS
A great many people are asking
-what particular troubles Brown's
Iron Bitters is good for.
It will cure Heart Disease, Paral
ysis, Dropsy, Kidney Disease, Con
sumption, Dyspepsia, Rheumatism,
Neuralgia, and all similar diseases.
Its wonderful curative power is
simply because it purifies and en
riches the blood, thus beginning at
the foundation, and by building up
the system, drives out all disease..
A Lady Cured of Rheumatism.
Baltimore, Md., May 7, 1880.
My health was much shattered by
Rheumatism when 1 commenced
taking Brown's Iron Bitters, and I
scarcely had strength enough to at
tend to my daily household duties.
I amnow using the third bottle and I
am regaining strength daily, and I
cheerfully recommend it to alL
1 cannot say too much in praise
of it. Mis. Mary E. Brashear,
173 Prestmanst
Kidney Disease Cured.
Christiansburg, Va., 1881.
Suffering .from kidney disease,
from which I could get no relief, I
tried Brown's Iron Bitters, which
cured me completely. A child of
mine, recovering from scarlet fever,
had no appetite and did not seem to
be able to eat at all. I gave him Iron
Bitters with the happiest results.
J. Kvlb Montague.
Heart Disease.
Vine St., Harrisburg, Pa.
Dec 2, 1881.
After trying different physicians
and many remedies for palpitation
of the heart without receiving any
benefit, I was advised to try Brown's
Iron Bitters. I have used two bot
tles and never found anything that
gave me so much relief.
Mrs. Jennie Hess.
For the peculiar troubles to which
ladies are subject, Brown's Iron
Bitters is invaluable. Try it.
Be sure and get the Genuine.

A DEAD TRAVELER.
Captain Jim McCool, in Collecting
Fares, Comes Across a Passenger
Sitting Bolt Upright in a Seat, Dead
Ulelancholr Death of Judge Owens.
Shortly after the Air-Line train
which reached here yesterday morning
had pulled out from Atlanta, Captain
Jim McCool, the conductor, passed
through the cars collecting fares. A
mm whom he recognized as J.udge
Owens, wa3 sitting in a seat by himself
to all appearances sound asleep. The
conductor Bhook him, but could not
wake him, and passed on through the
car, expecting to collect the sleeping
man's fare as h9 came back through.
At this time the train was just five
miles out from Atlanta. Judge Owens
was accompanied by a friend named
Hayden, and Capt. McCool told Hayden
to wake the Judge and he would be
back directly to get his ticket. Capt.
McCool went to a forward car and had
been there but a few minutes when
Hayden came rushing up to him with
the information that the Judge was
not sleeping, but was dead. Capt. Mc
Cool, who is a doctor as well as a con
ductor, hastened to the scene and found
that it was even so. The Judge was
sitting bolt upright in the seat, his
chin resting on his breast, stone dead.
Just before the train left Atlanta,
Capt. McCool saw Judge Owens stand
ing on the platform at the depot and
had a long conversation with him. He
appeared to be in excellent health and
told Capt. McCool that he was just on
his way home to Gainesville, Ga from
a trip to Alabama, where himself and
friend Hayden had been to purchase
some lands. Tickets for himself and
Mr. Hayden to Gainesville were found
in his pocket, besides a large amount
of money in gold, silver and green
backs. The body was laid out in the
baggage car and a telegram was sent to
Gainesville notifying his family of his
death, and on the arrival of the train
at that place the body was met by a
large party of sympathizing friends.
Judge Owens leaves a wife and three
children. The deceased formerly lived
at Belton, Ga., and was postmaster at
that place for sometime. He has two
brothers living, one of whom is mayor
of the town of Edwardsville, Ala., and
the other lives near that place.
A post mortem examination was held
over the remains and it was found that
the deceased came to his death from
heart disease.

A Dntifnl Fireman Shot At.
Henry Sellers, a colord fireman on
the Carolina Central Railroad, was
sleeping in the cab of his engine, which
was standing in the engine house at the
Carolina Central depot, Wednesday
night, and was awakened by a noise on
the tender. He looked around and saw
a negro man stealing wood, but very
quickly drove the intruder away, and
then went off to sleep again. In a short
time be was once more waked up, to
find the same party again on the tender.
He drove the thief away the second
time, and was shortly afterwards hail
ed and requested to poke his head out
of the window. The fireman did so,
and immediately the flash of a pistol
blinded him and the bullet passing by
bis bead, lodged in the root or the car
bouse. The party who fired the shot
struck out down the road in the direc
tion of Matthews, and has not since
been heard of.
A Mail Ag nt Arrested for Robbery.
George W. Wheeler, a mail agent run
ning between Greensboro and Salens,
was arrested last Tuesday by a mem
ber of Capt. Frey's cori s of postoffice
detectives, on a charge of robbing the
mails. A dispatch from Salem to the
Atlanta Constitution in regard to the
matter says that "the case was intelli
gently worked by one of the shrewdest
and most careful men in the service,
and the developments which he has
brought atout furnish racy reading.
The culprit is a brother of Dr. William
H. Wheeler, ex collector of internal
revenue, of the fifth North Carolina
district, and is about fifty years of age.
For about fifteen years he has been dis
sipated, and twelve years ago married
a woman of unsavory reputation, who
has lately added to her general bad
character a very dark spot. During Dr.
Wheeler's term of office George Wheel
er was appointed a deputy collector,
but did not attend to his duties and
charges of crookedness were made
against him."
Police Arrests Yesterday.
The weak-in-the-flesh are already be
ginning to forget their New Year's
pledges and busimsi in police circles is
picking up. Yesterday evening two
policemen pacing College street near
the gas house, f.;uud a man lying beast
ly drunk in the middle of the street.
Tbey helped him up and after shaking
him awhile, got him awake, when he
gave his name as Dennis Melley, and
wanted to know "phat are ye goin to do
widmeV" "We are going to do you
like Pat did the drum," cheerily re
sponded one of the officers.
"How's that?" enquired Dennis.
"Give you a divil of a good bating,"
the officers answered as they took a
good grip under his shoulders and com
menced shoving him along to the guard
house.
Shortly after Dennis had been assign
ed to his room, the doors were again
swung open and the police came in sup
porting a white voman who was mis
erably drunk, and who was swearing
at a terrible rate. Her name was Maiy
Leonard and she had been invading the
College street dens in search of her
wayward daughter, and creating big
disturbance on not being auie to una
h r.
Ac lored woman named Mary Brown
went ;o the chief of police to complain
of some one having stolen her shawl.
The chief recognized her as an old of
fender who had run off to escape pay
ing a fine, and ordered her to the guard
house. While the officers were taking
her there, she was met by a colored
woman who charged her with stealing
a lot of clothing. The officers made
Mary quicken her steps to the guard
house.

and after investigating the case, the

Mr Smith is not of sound mind. He is
owner of considerable property, and
this action was brought by his children
to prevent him from trading off his
lands.
Gone by the Coast Line.
Princess Loaise and the Marquis of
Lome left Richmond yesterday even
ing by the Coast Line for Charleston.
The ill health of the Princess caused a
change to be made in the programme
and it was not thought expedient to
stop in Charlotte as contemplated. The
vice regal party were quartered in a
Pullman sleeper and consisted of His
Excellency the Marquis of Lome, Her
Royal Highness the Princess Louise
Miss Hervey, Miss McNeil, Colonel
Tourtelotte (United States Arm), Col
onel F. DeWinton, Captain Honorable
W. Begot, and Dr. Burnet.
That Adventure with Muskrats.
The papers generally are disposed to
make light of the adventure of Mr.
Charlie Fox with the muskrats, on the
streets of this city some time ago, duly
recorded in these columns, as witness
this expression of incredulity from the
Charleston News & Courier: "The
Charlotte papers tell a tough story
about a young man who was attacked
by three muskrats at his own gate on
the principal street of the city, when
going home about 12 o'clock on Satur
day night. He called the police and two
officers came to his assistance, and the
three men succeeded in killing one of
the rats and driving off the other two.
Snakes and monkeys are the usual as
sailants of young men who go home
late on Saturday night. But rats, and
only three, that is something unusual."
