Moore, 6f Ashe villft, has leased the Selwyn Hotel and will take charge on the 24th. The contract .was signed yesterday. This bit of news has been looked for for some time. " " : "V .';.'; ''".' The people of Charlotte are deeply Interested In the new. hotel. They have watched it from the time the company Va organised until th-s present day. The coming' of Harvey it Wood was heralded with rejoicings. It was believed by the public that that well-known hotel firm had leased the Selwyn stralghtout. but It de veloped later that such was not the ease. Somebody fooled the public. The newspapers may have done It, out if they did, they did so Innocent ly. Harvey & Wood fell down; they did not make good. No one has said why, they failed to meet expectations. They came in with flying color, but passed out quietly. Since that day the. hotel has rocked along. It has run itself except for the attention that : Mr. Walter S. Alexander could spare from his other business. At first some of the directors were ac cused by street gossips of interfering with Harvey & Wood and were, cen sured for it. but later the gossip changed color, and the managers were blamed with the shortcomings of the hotel. - Many things have taken place at the Selwyn since it opened. The people have, looked on with curious Interest. But It was said last night that "All's well that ends well." In the selecting of Mr. Moore as a lessee out of about thirty applicants, the directors did well. Although he Is a young man. he has succeeded In the hotel business. At present he Is pro prietor of the Kenllworth Inn, of Blltmore. Those who have been to that hotel know what sort of place he keeps. Mr. Moore has been In the hotel business twelve years. For five years h has been proprietor of the Kenll worth Inn, keeping It open the year round. Before going to Ashevllle he ran the Gladstone Hotel at Narra gansett Pier, and made a success of It In talking with an Observer man yesterday before leaving for Ashe vllle, Mr. Moore said: "I shall re turn here next Wednesday and pre pare to take over the Selwn. I ehall not make any more changes In the working force than Is necessary to the well-being of the hotel. If I find that thooe there pull well to gether and with me they will be re- w . . I .- . . . . L- milieu, my purpunr in ut run 1111; hotel in a modern, business-like way. I shall be after patrons of the proper sort. "I shall feed well. I think my friends will say that T have done that at Ashevllle. From the Kenllworth Inn I will bring a dining room force .wnicn nas oeen irainen unner my management. This will Hcmirc good kitchen service. The S-lwyn will hi run In connection with the Kenll worth Inn." ''Have you leased the Selwyn out and out, Mr. Moore?" nuked a re porter. res, eir, tor a number or years, and my lease m be on file where you can see it." - "That Is good," said The Observer man. "The people her.e will give you the glad hand. They are proud of the Selwyn, for If makes a splendid appearance and Ih a credit to the city." 'Have you a partner, or partners?" was asketl. "No, I am alone. Of course, I have good men to utarid f"r me." "To what cIhkh of trade will you t-ater?" "I want evpry fellow who Ih look ing for a good (Ware to tarry. I shall make a strong pull for conventions. The convention buHlnexj; at Kenll worth has been pnormoux. Charlotte should have mre conventions. 1 will do my 'part. "The winter tourist shall have an opportunity t' ytop on his way South and on his way back. I ex pect to pull for that class f trade "I want high-class commercial busineFf. "After the first of the year the Sel wyn will be run on t.'ie American and the European plan. The patron can take whichever he r.'iooses. Mr. Moore Is a native of Virginia., He was bom in the Shenandoah. Val ley, near the tou of Winchester. 'He was accortipiiuled here by Mr. F. Stikeleather. People Miouhl Turn lo the (tight, "l0 you know," said Mr. tieorgv Phlfer yesterday, "that the average country horse has more neiiae than the average clti,cn of Creator Char- lOttft?"

JR. K, Jordan A CV Xcsro W ho Was Shot by O.Ticcr .T. D. Johnon Bclns Tried for At tempt at Criminal Assault Court Adjourns to Attend FuneraL Superior Court adjourned yester day afternoon in the midst of a trial to honor the memory of the late Dr, Joseph Graham and to allow those connected with court to attend the funeral and Interment. No special Incidents made the day notable. The negro who gave the officers such a lively time out on the Belmont road, Harvey Thomas, captured a aentencs of S years en the roads, : He was given 12 months for stealing a Shotgun, 12 months for breaking into the. house from which he stole It, and 12 months for using! the weapon to assault the officers with Intent to kill. All in all, it was a very expensive piece of Iron for Harvey. Reuben Conner, colored, for an af fray, got 40 days on the roads. The case of John Hart, a negro, arrested north, of town, where' he had made arrangements for a hack to meet him and h?Ip him transport several gallons of liquor to his home, consumed much time and Inci dentally furnished much amusement The case, which waa captured at the time, and Its contents, six gal lons of liquor In tin cans or bottles, as exhibit A were placed on the table In full view of the court and spectators. Either the odor or the sight, or both combined, resulted In an exhilaration of spirits, partly psychological and partly physiologi cal, on the part of all concerned. So the case could not be called a dry one. Somehow the Jury got f'bum fuziled" too and had not returned a verdict up to the time that court ad journed. . , The case taken up late In the afternoon and in course of trial at the time when adjournment was taken was that of Jim Crawford, the negro who stands charged with an attempt criminally to assault little Edna Henderson, daughter of Joe Henderson, colored.. The affair took place several week ago and Craw ford was severely shot by Officer J D. Johnson, when the negro re sisted arrest, He was given treat ment at the Good Samaritan Hospi tal and soon recovered. The Httle girl testified yesterday afternoon that she awoke to find herself in the clutches of some one. Her father torn ain of his being awakened by th a if ftf Rdna for help, of thH flight of the manv and the finding of clothes which Crawford afterward returned and demanded. The truu will be concluded this morning. Other witnesses are Eliza and Mag gie Henderson and Dr. F. O, Hawley. UASEBAMj to-day.
