" There were three hundred and fifty-five calls at the telephone ex- change yesterday. Mi. and Mrs. .J. K. Wolfe, and Messrs. R M. Miller, Jr., and LeRoy .springs nave gone to JNew York city. The only visiting member of the bar noticed in the court house yes terday was Mr. Charles Price, of Salisbury. . The citv eraded schools oren on September 15th, and about fifteen nunarea utile ones in unariotte are already preparing for the event. The firemen's parade yesterday afternoon was not a very great success, though the Independent .hook ana Lauder boys made a good show. Parties who have returned from the mountains say that the country is literally filled with people, even the country boarding houses having es many as they can accommodate. The removal of the iron railing from the pavement m front of Arndt's Central saloon makes a de cided improvement in the appearance of things thereabouts. The Athletic and Brown nines engaged in a game of base ball yes terdav afternoon and the former club was defeated, the score standing: Brown , Athletic 8. The political campaign has evi dently opened in Pennsylvania, be cause the Charlotte soap factory yes terday shipped a considerable lot of soap to that portion of the moral vineyard. One of our subscribers is very anxious to learn the whereabouts of Mrs. Nuttall. mother of Aus Nuttall, formerly of this place. Any infor mation sent to this office will be glad- ly reuetvuu.

SKULLS, Cnrus in Prison and Boone iv a Low Condition.-Taking; Oat a Handfoll ot Bone Thp Victim of the Poplar Tent , Fight .Slightly- Better-- HI ore About the Latter jFight. As The Observer forms were going to press Sunday morning about one o clock a glare of gas light shone through the windows of the police headquarters, and from the street it could be seen that the room was filled with people. The preliminary hear ing of W. D. Curtis, superintendent of the Charlotte ice factory, for crush ing the skull of Daniel Boone, as re lated in this paper Sunday morning, was; in progress. Chief of Police McNinch was presiding, and the room was full of policemen and witnesses. Only a few questions were asked, when Captj McNinch, being satisfied as to the gravity of the case, ordered Curtis to ibe locked un until this morning, when the facts in the case wul be investieratfifi hv t.h Mr. W. H. Bailey has been employed to defend Curtis, and Jones & John ston will appear for Boone. There are several reports in circulation con- 5erning the difficulty, but in justice 10 Dotn parties, the matter should rest until tne evidence is given before the mayor this! morning. Boone is much more serioiislv hurt than was at first thought. 0n an examination of his head yesterday by several surgeons. it was decided that trepanning was necessary, and it was accordingly resorted, to. It was then that the serious character of his iBjuries was manifested His skull, on the rear part of thelhead. had been driven in two inches! and the brain was filled with pieces of shattered skull. Asa result of th;e trepanning, the doctors took out a handfull of shattered bone. Thej skull was also badly in dented, but the brain was relieved of the pressure as far as possible. The injured man, according to the state ment of the doctors, is in a critical condition. Qne strange feature about his case is the fact that with all the shattered bone resting upon his brain he did not 1 once lose consciousness. The police yesterday summoned about fifteen witnesses, and the trial this morning will draw a large crowd to the mayor's office. Keports from William Ferris, the man who had his skull broken at Poplar Tent fair, are to the effect that he ;was yesterday somewhat better, and; there are now hopes that he may eventually survive. Mr. Chas. Hunter, of this county, says he was with Ferris at the time of the diffi culty, and' that a Cabarrus youth named Cowan Gardner threw the stone at Ferris. Hunter was about fifteen feetl off at the time the rock was thrown. He heard no quarrel between Ferris aud Gardner, but heard the rock hit Ferris and saw Ferris fall. Huntwr started for Gard ner, when jGardner threw a rock at him. but missed. Hunter and Gard ner clinchejd and fell, when Gardner beat Hunter over the left eye with a rock. The parties were then sepa rated, ana Ferris was placed in a Wagon and carried to the home ol his mother in his county. Trouble on fFry on Street. In behalf of the patient, lone suffer ing and long sorrowing residents of Tryon street, from the corner of Sev enth to the Lincolnton depot, The Observer throws up its hand and begs the attention of our good lord mayor for a moment. Come with US and let s take a quiet stroll down that way at eventide; when the katydids are singing eacn otoer to sieep, ana the hackmen go whooping by to. catch the evening train, and when the street lights disappear as u a veil had been thrown over them, and the very skies are ooscurea by the uprising billows or aust. That is the hour when our oity fathers ought to take their prom enade along Tryon street. That s the hour when everybody living down that way dught to invite them ouj to tea. The dust m tne locality named is really and without doubt worse than it has ever been known. The brick sidewalks are hidden under a coating so thick that tracks can be maae in it; tne trees are stuccoed and a slight rain would make mud on tne nousetop.g.. -inia is tne reai situa tion and the people should have re lief. Let the street sprinklers make a couple of rounds the entire length oi ri or tn Tryon street every ay ana down tne aust. "iair a. ioar is better than no bread," and if the sprinklers cannot be run there regularly, let them go by onge. m a while.

Please permit me. When I said Gen. Ransom was not himself, that he spoke too long and the crowd tired, I had not time to add, as I now desire, that the matter of his speech, like all that comes from him, was brainy and of a patriotic and high type of states manship, uut there are times wnen a man's stomach fails him in a speech as in a fight. The General said to mo before he began that he was scared, and I hear that while on the train coming here he said to a friend he felt in no trim fcr making the speech he wished. I think proper to add this in justice to the reputation of the man, for 1 well remember the greatest political speech I ever heard was a three hours ettort of Kansom s on the court house green at Hillsboro in September, 1880. And he held the crowd entranced during it all. But they were sitting down that helped and then Kansom was in concert tune. Here the crowd stood up, had marched almost a mile and were standing for over an hour before he came. Another thing, too, that lamed him : he had hardly uttered his first sentence before some fellow citizen on the outskirts of the crowd cried "louder." He said himself, I hear, that it winged him, and from that time out he seemed to labor in the manner of his delivery. Keid's address of welcome was an eloquent production and well deliv ered, and Mrs. Henry Sampson's poem on the occasion was admirable ; never sung harp from the willows a sweeter, sadder song, and like a drum tap of inspiration, it calledthe living to the dead and sealed their devotion in heart-wrung cheers that they would ever be true to the manhood and memory of the comrades who had fallen on the held. QAbout five thousand present. Col. A. J. Boyd was in command, seated on the stand was his venerable father Geo. D. Bovd. Esq., for so many years the distinguished State Senator from this county. He loosed in per fect health. He gave four sons to the army and lost three, all gallant officers. Col. Sam Boyd, who fell at the head of the 45th N. C. Mr. Wat son, of Forsyth, who was a private in the same regiment, paid an eio quent tribute to Col. Sam Boyd. He was by his side when he .tell and helped bury him. There was a soldier present from this county, a member of Co. K., 13th N. C, who had seven bayonet wounds, two sabre cuts and two gun shot wounds musket balls). Got them all at Williamsburg, May 5th, 1862, when the 13th locked bayonets with the enemy. His name is Ward. The flagging of the town was lively union and confederate. The largest confederate flag was in front of Michael's drug store. There was a union flag up that had gone through the war. The old battle flag of the 13th N. C. Regiment brought tears, and many ISthers embraced. Capt. p. Hill, of Richmond, who was quartermaster of the regiment had it in charge. He treasures it next to his wife. I saw old soldiers shedding tears during nearly all of the speak ing. As the procession moved down the street an old soldier citizen had his wife in a buggy to witness it. First came the new military in their spank new suits arid shining guns; then the brass band ; then the float with thirteen young ladies beautiful ly dressed in white, and then the old soldiers. And as the old lady looked on them without guns, in rough dress, aa it were, f nendless, money less, and some, maybe, homeless, it was two much for her woman's heart, and her head went down to her hand kerchief. The old soldier husband sat holding the reins and sa v ing nothing. When the procession had passed his wife looked up and said ; "John, are hot my eyes too red to go to the grounds !" "WOr-but Mary " said he "you have relieved yourself by weeping. Now, I feel as badly as you, but I can't weep, and I want to fee better before we go to the grounds, sup pose you h.oJd the reins till get out and get me a drink." 4,Nb,n said, she, "drive right to the grounas." 1 Mai. L. H. Hunt, of Milton, the Inspector General of Pender's and Wilcox s division, was present. Capt. Hereford, of Henry county.
