It baa beeo rumored for aome days
lhal the Uichmoad and Danville

the highest authority forataliog that

qaite certain, however, that the K.

The Legislature ought to pass a
law prohibiting the leasing or coo
solidalion of aoy railroads in North
Carolina without the saoction of that
body.
Oar Charlotte friends should be on
the alert. If the lUchmood A Dan
ville combination succeed io aeouriog
control of the Air Line, it will be a
crnahiog blow to the ptoepertty of
Charlotte. Under such an arraaee-
mni, the trains of the Kichmond and
Danville Uailroad, South Carolina
Division, might poeaibly pay Char
lotte the complimeot of stopping
there long enoagb to water the iron
horae, bat the delivery of any freight
at that point woold soon become one
of the loet arts.
We do not attempt to disguise the
fact lhal the combination referred to
would b hurtful to the business

Charlotte it is almost a qaeetion of

Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina three
or four colored priests and deacons have
been ordained, and several parishes are io
union with the North Carolina convention.
Bishop Atkinson stated in regard to these
.churches that the colored members were
the most conservative in the church.

Mr. Carter will hardly himself deny. Can

Tbe Fire Yesterday Mornlnc
Yesterday morning, about 4 o'clock, the
dwelling house on the uor'bwest corner of
Second and Mulberry Btreets. owned by
CoL; Roger Moore and occupied by Mr,
Robert Tavlor. was discovered to be on
j
fire. The flaraea had gotten pretty well
underway when Mr. Taylor awoke and
found bis bed-room full of Bmoke. He
sprang from the bed and began to seek for
a means of egress. Tbe room was perfectly
dark, the thick smoke tending to, deepen
the jgloom, and it was with difficulty tbat.he
could make his jway. He finally reached
the dining room, through which he pur
posed making his exit to the street, but
when he opened the door a dense volume
of smoke poured into bis face, and a hasty
glance into the room assured himthat it
would be exceedingly dangerous to attempt
to pass through it. He finally succeeded
in discovering another avenue of escape,
upon which he made a second attempt to
arouse his wife, who was so nearly suffo
cated by the smoke that he had to take her
from the bed and stand her upon her feet
before she became sufficiently conscious to
make any effort to escape the deadly peril
by which she was surrounded. Husband
and wife, seizing tbeir clothing, then es
caped to the back yard and thence to the
street.
The ringing of : tbe fire beli was a little
delayed in consequence of some defect in
the telephone between the City Hall and
the box at the corner of Front and Market
streets, but tbe fire department was quick
ly on hand after the alarm was sounded,
and succeeded ia preventing any further
spread of the flames.
Mr. Taylor did not save a single article
of his furniture or personal effects, except
the clothing himself and wife bad on pre
vious to retiring. We are glad to learn,
however, that his loss was very nearly cov
ered, being insured for $400 in the Peters
burg, with Messrs. DeRosset & Northrop,
and for $300 in the Home, of New York,
with Mr. Norwood Giles.
The building was insured for $700 in the
Phcsnix, of New York, represented hereby
Messrs. Atkinson & Manning, which will
about cover the loss. .... "
Mr. Taylor has no idea how- or where
the fire started, but thinks -if must have
hsd its origin in tbe dining room, as the
most of the fire was in that particular part
of the building, and upon opening the door
he noticed that the sideboard bad disap
peared from Its position near tbe fire-place,
and be thinks it most have fallen through
into tbe basement, and that the crash was
the means of awakening him. There had
been no fire in the dining room during the
day, however.
The basement was occupied by colored
servants, who were aroused by Mr. Taylor
after he escaped from the building.
Tbe market Rentlna.
In order to a better understanding of the
stall renting al tbe different markets on
Monday, we give the following statement
from the books of Messrs. Oronly & Morris,
tbe auctioneers who officiated on the oc
casion, and which la pronounced by them to
be strictly correct:
All tbe stalls in esch of the markets were
rented for twelvemonths, payable monthly.
In the market, corner of Fourth and
Campbell streets, six Btalls were rented, as
follows: One at $31; one at $28; one at
$11; one at $5, and two at $3 each, per
month. Also a vacant space in market
rented at $12 per month.
Ia the Front street market twelve stalls
were rented, as follows: One at $366;
three at $102; one at $45; one at $41; one at
$23; one at $18; one at $14; two at $10,
and one at $7 per month.
In the Fifth Ward market one stall was
rented at $5 per month and two at $2 per
month.
The monthly rent of all the stalls bid oaT
aggregates $969, and the entire yearly rent
foots up $11,628.
Some of the above figures may Bound
pretty steep, but they are correct, accord
ing to the "official returns," and if there is
to be any going behind them we don't
know anything about it.

Personal.
A very pleasant party from Wilmington,
consisting of Messrs. J. M. Cronly, (of the
Stab) J. H. Daniel and H. W. B. Glover,
spent Sunday and yesterday in the city. A
German complimentary to these gentlemen
was given at the Pleasure Club rooms last
night. They left this morning leaving on
ly, friends behind them. Charlotte Obser
ver, 8th irut.
Thanks ; but it is thought here that pos
sibly some of the partyjleft more than "only
friend behind them."
Tlae tinplln Canal
A few of the subscribers to tbe Duplin
Canal met at the rooms of tbe Produce
Exchange yesterday moroiog, pursuant to
notice from the President and talked over
the affairs of the company, buf, there not
being a quorum of tbe directors present, no
action was taken.
Fire In Kobeson.
Anew store just built by Mr. T. B. Rus
sell, at Floral College, Robeson county,
and into which he had just put $500 worth
of goods, was destroyed by fire a few
nights since. Supposed to have been the
work of an incendiary. -
ICIVBK AND in A KINK.
The pilot-boat B. H, Cowan.
Of
Smithville, was in port yesterday.
Norwegian brig EagnhM, Hansen
hence, arrived at Rotterdam on tbe 4th
inst.
Tbe wind has been blowing a gale be
low for nearly a week from the northeast,
and consequently there is .quite a fleet of
vessels bound north, now lying outside the
bar awaiting more favorable weather.
The schooner Geo. M. Anderson, Capt.
Anderson, from St. Croix, W. I., loaded
with molasses, and bound for New York,
put in at this port yesterdsy for a harbor
and to obtain supplies. She has made two
efforts to round Cape Hatteras, but without
avail, on account of heavy and contrary
winds.
We learn from tbe pilot of the steamer
A. P. Hurt that the water in the river is
again falling, and that the work of pre
paring to raise the steamer Gov. Worth,
which had to be temporarily suspended
on account of the increased freshet, has
been resumed. When the Hurt passed on
Monday tbe divers had stopped the lsst
hole in her hull, and it was supposed that
she would be brought to the surface in the
course of a day or two.

MRS. WINSLOWS SOOTHING SYRUP. Rev.
Sylvanus Cobb thus writes in the "Boston Christian
Freeman" : We would by no means recommend
anv kind of medicine which we did not know to be
good particularly for infants. But of Mrs. Wins
low's Soothing syrup we can speak from knowl
edge; in our own iamiiy it aaaprevea a oiesaing
indeed, by giving an infant troubled with colic
pains, quiet Bleep, and its parents unbroken rest at
night. Most parents can appreciate these blessings.
Here is an article which works te perfection, and
which ia harmless; for the sleep which It affords
the infant is nerf ectlv natural, and the little cherub
awakes aa "bright as a button." And during the
eroceas of teething Us value is incalculable. We
ave frequently heard mothers say they would net
be without it from the birth of the child till it had
finished with the teething siege, on any considera
tion whatever. Sold by all druggists. 35 cents a
bottle.
TO ALL OUR FRIENDS .Having had number
less inquiries for advertising cards from ladies in
all parts of the country who are interested In the
prevailing fashion of making "card collections,"
we are having printed for them a set of seven beau
tiful cards, each in sir color and on a solid' back
ground, in the highest degree of art. illustrating
Shakspeare's "Seven Ages of Man." We have
spared no expense in these cards they are simply
little art gems. Our only aim has been to publish
the finest cards yet shown. Applications for them
have come in so rapidly that nearly the whele edi
tion is engaged before the receipt by us of the cards
from the artist. We have therefore been obliged
to adopt the following , plan for the distribution of
the remainder : No more of the gift tShakspeare
cards, seven in the series, will be sent excepting
upon tbe statement from a grocer that the person
applying for the cards has bought of him on that
day at least seven bars of Dobbins' Electric Soap,
with price paid for same. All applying in this man
ner will receive the full set of seven cards gratis
by mall. This will insure us that our friends and
patrons get their share or these beautiful designs,
although it in no manner repays us for the cost of
the cards. Your grocer has the Soap or will get it,
and the purchase Dy you of seven bars of it at one
time will secure (for you gratis seven really beauti
ful cards. The Soap improves with age and is an
article of necessity in your house every week.
Therefore you. are not asked to buy a useless arti
cle, but one that you must have anyway. . Please
send us your application at once, and tell your lady
friends making "card collections" to de the tame.
Yours respectfully,
LL.CRAGIN CO.,
