A" Correct Statement of the
. Facts In the Case.
Maggie Wilson, the young girl who
was accidentally shot, at the resi
dpnceof her mother in this city, a
few days 'ago, ' died yesterday ; about
noon,, very ; unexpectedly, and duri
mg the absence of Mrs. Wijson. who
had ventured up town for the first
time since the day of the shooting.
a ' . wv. ' " .
jars. Wilson yesterday morning
found iter son-in-law,: Mike Copela, in
a very low condition, from pneu
monia, but her. daughter Maggie ap
peared to be better. Mrs. Wilson,
having a mission ; to - perform up
town; left home on- her - errand,. and
when she returned shortly after
wards, it was only to find her daugh
ter dead.' ' Physicians who had in the
meantime been summoned, had pre
ceded her- and -were ministering to
Mike, whose life then;-appeared to be
fast ebbing away. . , - j
Mike's case was a desperate , one,:
but after considerable 'attention had
been paid to him by the roctors,,he
appeared to rally a little, and so far,
recovered that at times - he appeared
to recognize those around him. This
imcrovement: however. a0iear3dtoi
ka -.i-
be only temporary, and at last ao
counts. Mike was still in a very low
condition, and his recovery ' doubt
ful ' ; . - :. :
It was thought necessary ' to make
a poet mortem examination, of the
body of the deceased, and .this duty
was performed bya Drsv. iicCombs,
Graham and Brat c8d, about 3 o'clock
in the afternoon.-;': The autopsy dis
closed the fact; that the bullet had
entered, the girl's left breast just over
the third rib, had coursed downward,
struck and' shattered f the, sixth hb,
then passed upward, taking a very
irregular and eccentric' course, 'and.
finally buryingitsolf in theesh un-
der the left shoulder.; ;blade.- The rib
was badly shattered and pieces of the
bone: were carried by the bullet to
its stopping point. The bullet did
not pas3 through the lung, but grazed
it. . Another fact disclosed by the
autopsy was that' the girl had been
attacked by pneumonia, the right
lung being decidedly affected. The
left lung, which the bullet passed in
such close proximity, showed no
signs of pneumonia. It is impossi
ble to say, from the result of theau-
topey, whether her death was caused,
immediately by pneumonia, by the
ball wound, or by both combined. :
All sorts cf. rumors! have been in
circulation in regard to this tragedy,
and it has even been charged that it
was not altogether accidental. It is
due the parties that ah exact state
ment of the facts- be made known,
that all false rumors inay be destroy
ed,.fpr it is a sad affair at best. The
straight of the matter is this: Mike
Copela, a member of i the ; Italian
string band, :roarried one of. Mrs.
Wilson's' "daughtJeTS,1" arid : has been
Evingl : thMreriWin"f Mike's
wife has been afflicted with puerper
al derangement, and on the night of
the affair, got Mike's pistol, for what
purpose it is not .known. Mike, fear
ing that some harm would happen,
tried to take the' pistol from her, and
in the struggle',' it exploded', It was
a self - acting revolver. The bullet
struc 'ahd passed: through a door.
The door led into the passage, but
was closed. At the moment the p's-
tol was fired, Mrs., Wilson and her
daughter 'Maggie werein the"; pass
sage, r Maggie had not! been j in the
room and knew nothing of the strug-
neither
room Know
that she was in the passage. - She was
facing the door," when the bullet
crashed ; through and struck her in
the breast The affair .was, there
fore, purely and wholly ; accidental.
There are n6 grounds for a coroner's
inquest and no steps have been taken
to hold one. 1

That this new road is to, be built

equally certain that a portion of its
route is definitely settled upon. It
will .run from Roanoke City - to

I The- most advantageous connection
that 'could be secured would "be by
bringing .the road from Winston to
Charlotte, and from here to Camden,
S. -.C, there to connect with the
South Carolina road, and thus secure
direct connection - with Charleston,
Augusta and . Atlanta.,.- This, . we
are assured, is no - railroad on
paper.
A prominent, citizen yesterday ins
formed an Observer reporter that a
meeting of : Abe Chamber of Com"
merce will undoubtedly be called to
discuss the project and appoint dele
gates to represent Charlotte's inter;
ests, at the KoanoKe meeting, is is
suggested, in view of the importance
of this protect, that the city authoiis
ties should also unite in ah action to
have Charlotte's claims presented in
due form, and appoint men .who will
not only attend the meeting, but who
will exert themselves to attract at
tention to" Charlotte's i claims. ; Our
informant is a solid business man of
Charlotte, and one who never jumps
at bubbles. He. is well posted and
has. a great deal of faith in this . pro
ject. At the: very -least, it is worth
investigating. ,
Trlnes," To-night.
Dr. Deems will arrive in the city
this afternoon, and as previously an
nounced in TB Observer, .will be
the guest of Mrs. Junius Smith. To
night, Dr. Deems will deliver his lec
ture on "Trifles," in the opera house,
and aJarge crowd will greet himOf
his lecture in Rome (Ga.) the Courier
of that place says: "One of the larg
est audiences - ever - assembled in
Nevin's opera house met the eyes of
Dr. Deems when he appeared on the
stage last night. ; It was Dr. Daems
second lecture in this city. .. His lec
ture here one year ago on the subject
of 'Trifles," so completely won every-1
body - that , the mere announcement
of the fact that he was to lecture was
sufficient to draw an immense crowd.
His subject" "Before Marriage" and
After," was a taking one. He man
aged it with all the tact and skill of a
master.- As he appeared on the stage
he was greeted with' great ; applause.
His audience surrendered to him at
the outset, and he kept their atten
tention by the naturalness of his or
atory, the elegance of his "diction, and
by the constant .flow of delicate hu
mor to the close of his lecture. Dr.
Deems is not simply one of the most
thoughtful men of the day,-but he is
an artist as to his delivery. ' There is
a composure and grace about his
bearing, a merry twinkle about bis
eye that lend a subtle 'charm to his
words. It renews the youth and
hopefulness of even an old man 'to
hear him." He has all the ' elasticity
and buoyancy of a boy with all the
thougbtfulness ' and rare "experience
or a man of years. He has traveled
much and has done what many trays

BATTLE BETWEEN THE STRIKERS AND
POLICE AT ST. LOUIS
St. Louis, March 24. A- freieht
train of 15 cars was. mad a up this
morning "at the - Union denot and
started over the Pacific tracks, in the
direction of 17th street. On arriving
at this point the crowd called upon
the engineer and fireman to leave
their posts, which they did. The
mob here soon became so dense that
it was deemed advisable to clear the
yard, and ' the ; police-, were called.
Soon a force of about 150, command
ed by the chief of police and all the
captains, arrived at the . scene. " The
crowd was then ordered to disperse.
and upon their refusal to do so.- the
police made a charge . upon ' them.
hoping to drive tbem away without
using their ciuds. The latter altern
ative, however became necessary, the
mob stut resisting Dunne the strug
gle which, ensued,; several of ' the
gtrikers were badly beaten by the
police,, some of whom were in turn
badly bruised from bricks thrown by
the mob. ,1 - . -
After a brief , fight the crowd was
dispersed and driven, from the yard.
Another engine was procured, after'
which being coupled to the abandon
ed' freight train, drew it from the
scene of the riot, under guard of
about 50 police, who accompanied it
as far as the city limits. No inter
ference was met with. How far'be-
yOnd this point the train will be able
to proceed cannot be conjectured, for
the strikers may at any time . render
its progress impossible, p ii ,Vl.,
