Nobody could complain of monoto ny last night, when we had afire alarm, a ball and a military inspection. Messrs Chas. Todd and C. E. Morse, left yesterday morning for Poughkeep sie, to enter the business college at that place. Only one case was before th Mayor yesterday morning. . O'Sullivan for drunk and disorderly conduct, the usual V. The school commissioners held a brief session yesterday to provide ways and means for supplying coal to warm our 1,300 school children this winter. A blazing chimney in the third ward caused an alarm of fire about 8 o'clock last night, and brought out the fire department, whose services, how ever, were not needed. Mr. Henry M. Meetze, of this city, received a set of silver forks as a pre mium on the Princess Baling Press at the Chester Pair. He also received a diploma from the Poplar Tent Fair. The Western Union Telegraph com pany yesterday commenced the work of putting their call bells in the business houses about town. Our people will not be allowed to suffer for lack of telegraphic conveniences. A Cabarrus farmer, from the Rocky River section, brought his cotton to Charlotte yesterday and sold it for a fraction over ten cents, was paid for full weight and went home rejoicing oyer Charlotte as a cotton market. -The degrees of Royal and Select mas ter were communicated to a number of the members of Charlotte Chapter No 39 last night in accordance with the edicts of the last grand council, and the last grand chapter of Royal Arch Ma sons. Subscribers to the Daily Observer in the city, who pay by the week, will be called on to day by the carriers for the weekly btipend. They will be ex pected and required to pay without ex ception. Rev. Thos. Lawrence, D. D., of Bid die Institute, arrived in the city yester day with his bride. He was married in Jersey City, N. J., on Oct. 23d, to Miss Hattie A. Bidwell, of that city. Miss Bidwell was formerly a teacher in Scotio Seminary, Concord. A Remarkable Core. Mr. J. H. Mills, the "orphan's friend," arrived in the city yesterday afternoon with a little orphan boy who has been a patient at the All Healing Springs for about two months and who experienced a wondertul cure. Ihe lad is named Thos. Hartley and he is from Watauga county. Last summer he was afflicted with white swelling and it assumed such serious proportions that the doc tors thought amputation of the little fellow's leg would be necessary, but he had been at the All Healing only a few days before he began to improve and eventually got entirely well. Mr. Mills put a tag around his neck yesterday evening and sent him on to Oxford to re-enter the asylum. The Narrow Gauge Roads. On the 24th instant, a railroad meet ing was held at Gaffney City, composed of representatives of four different lines of projected railroads forming a narrow gauge through line from Charleston and from Augusta across North and South Carolina to the Northwest. Hon. D Blanding, of Sumter, chairman, and W. Waddy Thompson secretary. Action on consolidating the said com panies and accepting the proposition of a isew Hingland syndicate was post poned until the elections in Union, S. C, and McDowell, N. C, on local aid are held. A resolution was passed fa voring co-operation in building said railroads. The meeting adiourned sub ject to the call of the chairman. Burglars Rob the Town of Wadesboro. Night before last a band of profession al burglars plied their trade in Wades boro on a wholesale scale and with con siderable success. They entered and ransacked several stores and a number of private residences, making a haul of valuables and money at each place they visited. We were unable to learn who were the individual losers, but a tele gram from the mayor of Wadesboro to tne mayor of Charlotte, described the robbery in the following significant language. "The town of Wadesboro was robbed last night by a band of bur glars. Look out for them in Char lotte." It is supposed that this is the same band that commenced operations about a month ago on the line of the Wil mington and Weldon railroad, perpe trating extensive robberies in the towns along that road. Their course is easily tracked by their work. They ar rived in Wilmington about a week ago, committed a number of robberies and departed, it is presumed, up the Caro lina Central Railroad towards Charlotte. Our police have been duly notified to be on the alert, and our citizens should look well to bolts and locks. The bur glars may not come here, but it is best to be prepared for them at any event. o - - The Herata Tista's Opening Ball., The opening of the social season was marked last night by a very gay and brilliant hop attheBuford House, given y tne young men 01 xne nerma v r v . i a . t uiuD. id was truiy an extraordinarily enjoyable occasion and one that in num ber of attendants, eleeance of dresses and beauty of the wearers, is seldom surpassed in our gav little oity. The ladies were never dressed more hand somely and never looked lovelier. The grace and beauty of bur own city was supplemented by several visitors from neighboring towns, and the young mn played the gallant in excellent style. Among the visiting young ladies on the floor, we noticed Miss Nellie Gray, of Greensboro, Miss Kerr Morehead; of Durham. Misses Lee and Scoville, of Lynchburg, -Misses Nellie and Anna Holmes, of Salisbury. : The dance com menced quite early and the encroach ment of.' day light found the feet still unwearied and tne : eves .'bright and sparkling. It was voted by all one of the most pleasant social events that has ever . occurred . in . Charlotte, and the young gentlemen of . the Henna Vista are to be congratulated upon the success ItOUGIl ON MR. BEST. Some Serious Charges Preferred Against the Railroad Builder $17, OOO Alleged to Have Been Misappro priated. Several years ago Mr. W. J. Best was a man of considerable note in this State, and some people believed that he was going to run a railroad through every county in North Carolina. When he went through Newborn and threw out silver half dollars by the hundreds to see the boys tumble and scramble along the railroad track picking them up, all doubts as to his ability to fulfill his promises were removed from the minds of his friends, and he was hailed as a veritable king. The history of Mr. Best's rise and descent in this State is still remembered by our readers, and it is no use for us to say anything about that now. What we want to do is to give something new. A few days ago we gave an inkling of some alleged crookedness on the part of Mr. Best as manager of his railroad enterprise in this State, and, as might have been ex pected, further details have now come out. The New York Times is authority for what follows: It is charged by William S. Denny, of Boston, treasurer of the Midland North Carolina Railway Company and .he Midland Improve ment and Construction Company, that William J. Best, of New York City, the president of both corporations, has mis appropriated 817,000 belonging to the former company. Mr. Denny also as serts that, to conceal the alleged misap propriation. Best had the cash books, vouchers, etc., of the railway company sent to him from Newbern, N. C, and he hid them in his office at No. 15 Cort land street, New York. On September 29 Mr. Denny began a replevin suit against Mr. Best, and procured the seiz ure of the bcoks, etc., by the sheriff. The suit is based on a complaint in which Mr. Denny asserts that under the by-laws of the railway company he, as treasurer, is entitled to have the posses sion of its books, to sell its securities, etc., and to receive and disburse its money, all under the direction of the president and directors. In March last, he alleges, Joseph P. Caddagan, the manager of the Newbern office, who had been appointed by Mr. Best, refused to account to him,at his office in Boston, for the money received or paid out at Newbern. Thereafter, and prior to June 1, Caddagan is alleged to have sent the books, papers, etc., to Best. Mr. Denny says he found them in a small wooden box in Mr. Best's office on September 29, and he tried to take possession of them, but was prevented by Mr. Best's agents. Immediately afcer the sheriff had ta ken the,books, etc., in the replevin suit, Mr. Best claimed them and offered an indemnity bond for their return to him. While the justification of the sureties on this bond was pending, uJr. Denny, through his counsel. William S. Mac Farlane, applied to Judde Barrett, in supreme court chambers, for an order restraining the sheriff from giving up the property, and directing that officer to allow Mr. Denny and the other offi cers of the company to inspect the books. In the affidavits of Messrs Denny and Macfarlane in support of the application, it was averred that Mr. Best had sought to conceal the books for the purpose of concealing the misappropriation of money; that if he fhould recover pos session of them he weuld mutilate them or take them out of the jurisidiction of the court, and that it was necessary for the officers of the company to inspect them to ascertain the obligations of the company. On the ninth instant. Judge Barrett made the order asked for. The Lotber Celebration iu Concord. At the Luther celebration in Concord on the 10th of November, Dr. Paul Bar ringer, of this city, will deliver a speech in German. The celebration exercises will take place in the Presbyterian church and it will doubtless be the oc casion of an immense gathering of pro testants. Messrs. C. G. Montgomery, P. B. Fetzer and D. R. Hoover, print the following card: "Having been appoint ed a committee to arrange for the cele bration of the 400th anniversary of Martin Luther, in Concord, and that all our citizens would w ish to participate in the exercise3, we have procured the consent of our business men to close their stores on Saturday, November 10th, until 4t o clock m the evening: and we hereby give notice that no busi ness will be transacted in our town on that day before the hour above stated. Drug stores only will be epen. Military Inspection. The official inspection of the Hornets Nest Riflemen was held at the armory ast night by Col. Cameron, Inapector General of the State Guard, and our soldier boys acquitted themselves ex ceedingly well. There are 37 members in the company and of this number 34 were in ranks last night, one being ab sent from the city, one absent on leave and only one absent without leave. Col. Cameron s inspection of the company was thorough and its result was most satisfactory. In conversation with the reporter after tl e inspection, Col. Cam- eron spoke in tr e highest praise of our that his official report boys and statec would be fa rable. Being requir- ed to give hi s report to neadquar- ters, he could not give it for pub- ication until it has gone through the hands of the pre per officials. After the inspection, the company was drilled on the streets by 1st Lieut. Robertson and their evolutions by gaslight were great ly admired. On returning to the armory he company was addressed in a few congratulatory remarks by the Lieuten ant and broke ranks, to make a sally upon the flowing punch bowl. Toasts speeches and cheers wound up the occa sion. Col. Cameron inspected the Polk Ri fles, at Pineville, day before yesterday, and pays a glowing tribute to the excel- ency of that company, in drill and in general condition, and says it is a credit to the State Guard. Col. Cameron is delighted with his treatment by our military, who entertained him with every kindness possible. About Iionis Haywood.

The South Carolina Eailway is said by the Railroad Record to be the most remarkable railway in the United States. "It is the first rail-way built in the South, if not in the United States ; its mileage has never been added to or reduced since its comple tion ; it has never passed out of the hands or management of its stock holders, and has always been success ful and profitable. From Charleston, C, to Augusta, Cra., and irr.m Charleston to Columbia are its lines through a remarkably attractive and historically interesting country and no tourist can be satisfied until he has visited the scenes reached by the South Carolina Railway. There occurred some of the most stirring events from the days of the revolu tion to the present time." We have heard both Democrats and Republicans say that there is nothing better for a cough than Dr. Bull s cough syrup; this old reliable remedy never fails to cure a cough or cold at once, and may be obtained at any drug store for 25 cents a bottle.

Washington, Oct. 26. -The army surgeon on duty at "Whipple barracks arsenal -has reported to the war de partment that Lieut. Jno. F. Simpson, 3d cavalry, is in the hospital at that post and is cqnsidered to be insane. He has not yet been examined by the medical board and no action has been taken by the war department. Lieut. Simpson is the officer who a short time ago was court martialed for marrying his mistress and was sen tenced to dismissal by the court, but the sentence was disapproved by the President. Lieut. Simpson has re cently published a card in the news papers defending the character of his wife and explaining his own actions and stating that he has resigned from the army in view of his reported con dition. Grave doubts, however, are entertained as to his responsibility in making the statements. His resigna tion has not been received at the war department. It appears that his first wife had been dead but a short time when the second marriage, which was the cause of the court martial, was contracted. If he is finally ad judged to be insane the authorities will take steps at once to have him properly cared for. A Cure of Pneumonia. Mr. D. H. Barnaby, of Oswego, N. Y., says that his daughter was taken with a violent cold which terminated with pneumonia and all the best physicians gave the case up and said she could not live but a few hours at most. She was in this condi tion when a friend recommended Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam for the Lungs and advised her to try it. She accepted it as a last resort, and was surprised to find that it produced a marked change for the better, and by persevering in its use a permanent cure was effected.
