Cruelty to Animals. 1
There is law against cruelty to aaimals,
but It is very seldom Indeed that we hear
of its being ."enforced"' It1 has got to be
'such a common thing to see the poor dimb
brutes treated with a shameful-, disregard
of feeling that it has almost ceased - to at
tract attention; ; If there ever was a case
which should call for a speedy application
of the penalty it is that of a colored: man
who works an old ox with a sore back. Peo
ple oh. Market street were horrified a day
or two since to see the way. in which the
poor animal was treated by its inhuman
master. , The ox must have naturally been
in great pain from its scarred and bleeding
back, added to which the man gave it fre
quent whacks across the wounded parts
with his stick, causing the poor' brute to
literally tremble from the ' intensity of ) the
pain which It was suffering. We hope
some effort will be - made by the proper
authorities to put a stop to such brutality.
This is hp , isolate! s occurrence, hut one
only, of many , instances that daily shock
the feelings of those gifted with a touch of
humanity. ?

J The game was hotly contested from be

loud in their applause of a good piay, no
matter- by whom made. . The home team
did some fine fielding, and the throwing
was remarkably accurate; but the cnrvers

From . a gentleman just arrived from
Charlotte we learn that the municipal mud
dle in that place ended Monday in the elec
tion of CoL Wm. Johnston, the chronic
ofice-seeking Liberal Republican, as Mayor,
I defeating Maxwell, regular Democratic
1 nomiae and present Incumbent, and Col
Van, Independent Democrat. Johnston's
plurality was 41, the vote being as follows:
I Johnston. 646
I Maxwell.. 605,
Yau. .....153
This was -the natural result of the
I candidacy of CoL Vail. Maxwell offered
to compromise so as to prevent Johnston's
election, but Vail would listen to no propo
sition.. With him it was ' "rule or ruin."
The Aldermen elected are as follows : Col.
John L. Brows, F. D. McDowell, T. R.
Magill, Jos, McLaughlin, J. C. Long
(only member of old board), T. L. Siegel,
C. Hilker, R M, Oates, T. R. Robinson,

purchase of a r controlling ..interest in the
Richmond,' Fredericksburg and .Potomac
liatiroad ; was esectea last jrnaay dj mr.
W, T. Walters, of Baltimore; a majority
of the 'stocttaving, as"' weunderstand,
been purchased at 80. The road is eighty
miles long, and formerly connected at
Aquia creek with the Potomac ' steamers.
Since the building of the line from Alex
andria to Quantico, ten or twelve .years
ago, however, the Potomac steamers have
not bcenegularly used, and through travel
and business went by rail via the'Ttich
mond & Frederick8burg'r6ad.f iThe acuit
sition of this important link; therefore;
frdnV the South up to Quantica, ..thirty
miles south of Washington,' here they
conneci . with the Pennsylvania Railroad,
with which they are men tire harmony and
have theJnost Intimate interchange of rela
tionsr' :The acquisition also completes the
line from the great lakes and New York! to
Tampan Florida, on the Ctulf of Mexico,
from which point the new line to Havana
by steamers witt depart, making the short-
est possible line. To both the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company and the Coast Liue
the control of the eighty, miles link just ac
quired is an important consideration. '
The Atlantic Coast Line is composed now
of the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Poto
mac, the Richmond & Petersburg, the
Petersburg, the Wilmington & Weldon,
the Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta, and
the Northeastern, Railroads and connec
ting lines. Mr. Harry .Walters, of Balti
more, is general manager of all these lines. '
TThe system is being-extended and strength-
eijed at different points, and is the most
profitable and one of the most important
in the South. - What may be i deemed an
important consideration; to the people of
Wumington Is the fact that the purchase
of the- connecting hnk jwfll effectually do
'away with all necessity for the present of
extending" what is known as the' 'short cut"
from Fayetteville to Florence, This much
we learned in an interview with one of the
officials yesterday. .

Mr: W. W. Mints, nieht janitor at the
City Hall, had his attention attracted yes
terday morning, about half -past 1. o'clock,
by an unaccountable presence of smoke,
which, he finally found ; to proceed from
the basement of the City Hall building,
which is used by the Wilmington Light
Infantry as an armory. Accompanied by
Mr. John Casteen, Superintendent of
Lights, he went down into' the armory,
which was full of smoke, while fire was
j found proceeding from a wooden spittoon,
1 niied with sawdust, into wnicn, it is sup-
posed, some one' had thrown a lighted
match or a stump of a cigar. The fire had
also communicated to a bench, which Was
considerably scorched. A bucket or two
of water extinguished what might have re
sulted in a. serious conflagration if it had
remained undiscovered.
