The shareholders in the National

too, before they part with their money.
About 4,000 worth of shares are held
in Charlotte.
Charlotte will be well represented
at the Dixie fair, in Wadesboro, on No
vember 14th. From the way the Wades
boro people talk we are led to believe
that they are going to have a better fair
than the one held at Raleigh last week.
Mayor Maxwell had a small court
yesterday morning, the first this week.
Louis Parker, Pegram's lightning ex
press, mail and baggage messenger, was
assessed 32.50 for loud swearing on the

Dr. Robert M. Williamson formerl y
a citizen of Pineville, this county, has
recently removed to Shelby, and opened
a drug store. He will practice his pro
fession in connectiou with the drug bu- ,
einess. The Observer wishes him suc
cess in his new field.
We regret to learn of the death, at
his home near Matthew's Station, on the

Orr, an old and respected citizen of
Mecklenburg county. He was the father
of Mr. T. J. Orr, our county surveyor.
The deceased was seventy-one years of
age.
Sheriff Price, of , Union county,

his way to Morganton, having in ckarge
a white man named General Jackson
Griffin for commitment to th Insane

is named after the immortal Stonewall.
He has been insane about three months.
After to-day The Observer will
take the regular New York Associated
Press Reports, which gives special at
tention to the markets of the commer
cial centres. This will be - especially
valuable to those of our subscribers who
deal in cotton, as well as those who
raise it. The Observer shall go to the
tcp of the ladder, both as a news and
commercial paper, if our friends will
only give us a little time. Our new
dress was the first score; score another
for our increased amount of telegraphic
news after to-day.
Political Excitement in Danville.
From passengers who arrived in the
city on the Richmond and Danville train
yesterday, we learn that the state of
affairs in Danville over the political sit
uation is exciting, and that they are
having hot times. The colored office
holders in the city made a requisition
upon the government for troops to pro
tect tnem irom violence, ana a company
of soldiers are expected to arrive in
Danville from Washington City to-day.
From this information we would infer
that they are having lively times in the
city on the Dan.
Another Wedding.
Mr. W. B. Conrad, a commercial man,
identified with the house of Frank &
Adeler, of Baltimore, was married in
this city yesterday afternoon at 2:15

A. Baker, of Baltimore. The wedding
supper was served at the Central Hotel,
after which the newly married took the
north bound train for their future home
in Baltimore.

THE SYNOD CLOSED,
And Oar Northern YisiUrs Cone Home
--Some Proceedings of the Session.
The Potomac Synod of the Reformed
Church closed its annual session at
Newton on Monday night. Sunday
night a mission service was held and
enthusiastic addresses were deliver
ed. Dr. San tee, of Maryland, spoke on
foreign missions, Rev. Clever, of Balti
more, Cort, of Pennsylvania, Carnahan
and Whitmore, of Virginia, on home
missions.. Dr. Walker set forth the
field open in North Carolina.
On Monday by special invitation the
synod in a body visited Catawba High
School, under the management of Revs.
Clapp and Foil. Col. McCorkle, as
President of the board of Catawba Col
lege, welcomed the synod and was re
sponded to by Rev. C. J. Mussen, Chair
man of the Committee on Education.
Other members of the synod responded
in a happy vein and the success and
prosperity of the institution were laud
ably commented on.
The synod also took favorable action
in regard to education and mission
work among the colored race. As a
token of the favorable impression made
on the, synod by Dr. Welker's state
ments and hearty welcome they receiv
ed at Newton fifteen hundred dollars
were voted to church extension in. the
South, $500 of which goes to Concord
mission, 81,000 to Roanoke, Va. The
majority of the members took the train
for home on Monday night, carrying
happy remembrances of their first visit
to the South and leaving sunny recol
lections in the minds of their generous
host of friends.
A Cabarrus Sensation.
Cabarrus county has been stirred up
a little over the recent discovery of a
fraud that haB been practiced upon her
people for a month or more past by two
young men, or rather by two individ
uals who were supposed to be young
men. The supposition was correct as
to one, but badly wrong as to the other.
It appears that a young farmer of Cabar
rus sometime ago picked up an acquain
tance with a woman and to make it
convenient to have her company con
stantly, dressed her up in a suit of his
own clothes and took her to his own
home. The neighbors remarked the
strong attachment between the two, but
thought nothing of it, until one day his
companion's disguise was discovered.
The two then made it up to go to Texas
and the young man appointed a day for
his companion to meet him at Harris
burg. This done, he lost no time in
taking his own departure. The woman
appeared at Harrisburg on the appoint
ed day, still wearing male clothes, but
finding that her friend had deceived
her, she hired herself out to a Harris
burg farmer as a cotton picker. She
did not succeed in concealing her sex
for more than a couple of days, when
her employer made her leave. She came
to Charlotte on a wagon and is no doubt
still in this place. The police have been
notified. The young man was of a good
family, and his conduct has caused
them deep grief. He was striking for
Texas when last heard from.
The Minstrels Last Night.
We expected a large crowd at the
opera house last night to see Barlow
and Wilson's minstrels, but were not
prepared to see the house packed as it
was. It was the largest crowd of the
season and decidedly the best pleased.
The best part of the programme is the
social session with which it opens, in
which is given some excellent music
and some very fine singing. The falsetto
voice was not to the taste of many, but
if falsettos can be good, we suppose
this one was. It is our opinion that it
ought to be cut out, while the stump
speech should be abridged. One of
the best things on the programme was
Howe and Bell's skate dancing and the
Alhambria Quartette, Messrs Temple,
Harding, Vernon and Belknap, was
splendid. George Wilson's very ap
pearance on the stage brought forth ap
plause, eyen before he opened his rattle
trap of a mouth, and the crowd seemed
dejected every time he went behind
the scenes. Wilson is really inimita
ble.
The dressing of the troupe fs a feature
worthy of note, the costumes being
elegant and some of them as fine as is
ever seen here. On the whole, this fa
vorite old minstrel troupe fully sus
tained its reputation last night and its
return to Charlotte will be signalized
by another rush on the opera house,

Gone Up for Fire Years.
W. R Swinson, alias King, alias Bon
bright, the young man who wasent to
the penitentiary from Mecklenburg for
two years, but who was pardoned out
by Gov. Jarvis, is again in grief. After
receiving his pardon from the Governor,
he came back to Charlotte and loafed
around town for a while, finally leaving
for Spartanburg, 8. C- He had not been
there long before he forged a check "for
$75 on McGowan & Co., endorsed by
W.C.Cannon. His arrest for this offense
was noted in this paper at the time.
This week he was tried at Spartanburg,
found guilty and sentenced to five years
imprisonment in the South Carolina
penitentiary.
A Supposed Train Kocker Arrested and
Gives Big Bond.
Coroner Smith yesterday captured a
negro named Elijah Qilmore, at Wolfe's
crossing and carried him before' Esq.
W. L. Carpenter, at Mathews Station,
to be tried on charge of rocking a train
on the Carolina Central Railroad. One
witness was produced who swore that
he saw Gilmore throw the rock and
another witness swore that he had
heard Gilmore make threats of giving
the railroad some trouble, in retaliation
for his having been ditched by a con
ductor. The magistrate thought the
evidence sufficiently strong against Gil
more to bind; him over to the Inferi
or court for trial, and require a bond
of $500. Mr Edgar Walker went on
the'bond and the prisoner was released.
Coroner Smith is morally certain that
he has the right man and that the Infe
rior court will convict him, in which
event he will get $300 from superin
tendent Jones. Gilmore says that he
can produce witnesses to clear him.
The Youthful Bridal Conple in Town.
Mr Robert Robinson and his bride
nee Miss Jennie Costner, the young
couple who ran away from their homes
in Lincolnton and were married in
Chester, are spending their honeymoon
at the Charlotte Hotel, in this city.
They arrived h'ere day before yesterday
from Chester and have remained quiet
ly "at home. " The y oun g people do not
belie their ages in appearances,and Mrs.
Robinson is actually the youngest look
ing bride the reporter has ever seen,
The ir ages are 16 and 14 and they ap
pear to be perfectly contented and hap
py. The husband does not appear to
be in any hurry to return to Lincolnton
and says he will remain about two
months in Charlotte. About a year ago
they planned an elopement and were
about to put it into execution, but were
foiled by their watchful parents. The
only objection their parents had to the
match was the extreme youthfulness
of the couple.
Dost thou love life? Then do not
squander valuable time for that is the
stuff life is made ef; but procure at
once a bottle of Dr. Bull's cough syrup
for your cough and be cured. Your
druggist keeps it.
A Petition to .the President.
Washington, Oct., 24. A petition
was presented to President Arthur
to-day by Messrs. Horner and Grant
of New Orleans signed by two iiun
dred merchants and bankers of that
city, asking the President to examine
into the matter of the Postmaster
General to receive order against the
Nat'l Bank, and if he finds it illegal
and dangerous to the rights of citi
zens to direct its revocation. The
President promised to give the matter
early attention. This refers to the
order issued by Postmaster General
Gresham cutting off the national
bank's mail on account of the bank
receiving mail for the Louisiana
State lottery company.
There is something soft and tender in
the fall of a single snow flako, but it
always reminds us to look after our
bottle of Dr. Bull's cough syrup, our
old stand-by in the days of coughs and
colds, for we have always found it re-
lable.
The Downfall of a Corrupt Party.
Maston Herald lnd.
The Eepublican party has passed
into a minority taking the State

new titles to respect and confidence

the starry banner floated free over

for the better, and by persevering in its
use a permanent cure was effected. ,
