To begin with, Mr. Miirtjn does not giye euber the date or place of his birth, but this h certainjy not because he is asham ed of his ancestry, for he annortnces at the ou t'set that he is the great W;iii1 eon of Nathaniel Macon," who 'served ia the Congress of the United States iu both houses for fifty-seven years. Mr. Martin leaves it to be imnlied that the finalities of this .distinguished statesman of two or ihree ereuer'atious ago have been hand ed down to posterity and are in part responsible for his own appearance in the House of Representatives at the preseBt time. Mr. Martin first "studied law and was admitted to the 'bar in in 1875,' but after three years of association -with this class of peo ple, he says, "he embraced the Christian relicicu and felt impressed fo preach the Gospel." Just how he came to forsake the pulpit and drift into the wicked world of poli tics he does not state, but there is no doubt -itf the minds of those who have heard him ou the stump in his jiative habitat that it was done in the hope of bringing about that coiim tiou of affairs which ex-Senator Ingalls so aptly described as 'an ir idescent dream. - ... The Washington Post, though usually one of the best informed papers in the country, shows lament able ignorance in the above.

Charlotte Observer, 12th inst. The difference of a minnte in watches or- train orders yesterday, caused the loss, on the Southern, of three lives, imuries to six people, and the loss of thousands of dollars to the railroad.

The track for a . mile or so ap proaching Harrisbug is perfectly straight, except at one point, w tier e there is a small curve and a consid erable cut. The side-track at Harrisburg can be plainly seen for more than a mile, approaching from this side. Captaiu Tnnstall, who was of course on tne look out tor sso. li, kept his eye on the distant siding, expecting every mmte to see No. 11 run into it, but, -seeing that the track was clear, and no train ap proaching, and having the riht of efforts were made to rescue him. Three jacks were placed nnder the engine, and the pasengere -worxea hard, but there, for an hour and a half, he huug, with his body out of the car and his legs pinioned next to the hot boiler. The only relief that could be given him while in this frightful situation was the keeping of his body wet with cold water. A bucket brigade was formed and bucket after bucket was thrown on him, but it could not counteract the effect of the eteam. He lived 15 minutes after being taken out. Daring that time his agony wa8 frightful. He refused to take any spirits, saying that ne would soon be dead, and that it was not worth while. When asked whether he wanted to be taken to the hospital or his home, he said: "I wyl soon be dead; it win noc mat ter." He told the by-standers of his wife-au'd children in Charlotte, and with their names upon his lips, ex pired. . The body of Fireman Donaldson, of 30, was found in the centre of the wreck. It was a sickening sight. His head was mashed perfectly flat, and his body was a. mass of pulp. One arm could not be found for some time, John Eudy was found about the centre of the wreck, under the mail and express cars. MB. BEXTOX. T. Clinfrman Benlfn was a native of Union county, being born in Monroe. He was 30 years old. About three years ago he came to Charlotte, and for three months past he and family had lived at Mr. J. W. Lewis', next to the Y. M. C. A. hall, on South Tryon street. He was a member of Tryon Street Baptist church and was regarded as an exemplary Christian. lie was at the time of his death supporting two young men at college, lie leaves a wife and several enilureu. The funeral services' will be held at Tryon Street Baptist . church this evening at b:dU o clock, and at SizU the remains will be taken to Monroe, where they will be hurried to-morrow. Mr. Frank Benton, assistant post master at Monrse, a brother of the deceased, came up last night. Mr. Benton was insured for $2,000 or more. ? A D4Y JTow delicious! IX TOWN.

' No. 11, the local passenger, left Concord late. It was mar.ued by Engineer J. C. Kinney, Fireman Ed. Le?, and Conductor James Lovell, It had slowed up, prepaaatory to into the siding, and was only 40 feet from the north end of switch when No. 36 dashed into the cut. The two engineers faced each other with faces blanced with the fear of a horrible death. Engineer Tunstall applied his brakes and jumped. It is not known whether Engineer Kinney jumped or not. THE CRASH. Almost at the same instant that the engines faced each other, the deadly crash came. The crash was heard for miles around, and the noise was like that of a sharp crack or thunder. The engine of No. 36, north bound,, ran under the engine of No. 11, south-bound. The south-bouud engine crossed over the northbound. The boiler of the north-bound en gine lay across the floor of the postal car of iSo. 11. The engine of the south-bound train lay seyeral yards south of the engine of 36. Une of the express cars on No. 36 was thrown at an angle of nearly 45 degrees into'the field, the rear end landing about 50 yards from the track. No. 36 was pulling a car loaded with strawberries, vegetables, etc. It was torn into a thousand pieces. Sirs. KorwooU Overrated tho Judge. Lenoir Topic. At one time last week it was un derstood that J tidge Hoke had asked Judge Norwood to hold court for him here thi3 week, and that he had consented. This wa3 true, but it transpires that the wrong party was consulted. When Mrs. Norwood, who was appointed . the official guardian of the bibulous judge by the late Legislature, heard of the arrangement, she put her pretty lit tle foot down empnatically and re versed his decision as effectually as if it had been passed upon by a full bench of the Supreme Court all concurring. "No," said she, "you are not obliged to go there and you are not going." And that's why he isn t here. AYe may never have woman suf frage in North Carolina, but there is one plucky little woman (God bless her) holding courts in the State already. May her worthless hunsband, by the Grace of God, be lifted from his shame and yet prove himself worthy of such a noble woman. A Any off. witboat a worry, meeting with old friends lawyers, preachers, doctors, ' editors, merchants, farmers. 1 was treated handsomely, aud when I reached home 1 sat down and described the day to the home folks, who I saw, what was said, how some little folks I met looked. The day didn't seem very tall cf events, yet it took till ten o'clock to tell all about it. I don't believe 1 ever spent so pleasant a day in town with nothing to do. When the snn was in the steep slope I met with the preacher, and somehow it was desert alter dinner; the last coat oi paini to a happy day; the lintcerins fragrance of life. The preacher looks at the best side of humanity tells of his effort to elevate to help somebody along. If 1 was able I would be like the great men of the old 30untries have my own chaplain. How pleasant to have my own chaplain. Listen to their converse. They don't travel the same road with ourselves, though on the same journey. This one had been to New York. Now, when 1 go to New York I go to old Trinity church, gaze on the common looking tomb of Alex llamilton. As you walk you see inscribed on the tiag stones, "Beneath here rests the remains of Jas. his wife nd children." Old names hoary with honors and age. There is no show in old Trinity church yard, but one feeis like taking the shoes off our ivet. Look across Broadway down a shabby street, narrow, lined with old houses. Yes, look from Trinitv church yard into that old llain looking strtet; tne place where you stand is saeied with associations; the place you are loking at is without soul, without heart, without emotion, the very vortex of : the great money centre of this great land of ours. Yes, this is Wall street. Iu this old delapidated place style never comes a millionaire looks common ia one of those old dingy offices. There is no hu manity there, self, selfish aims and ends; the dollar, the dollar, the almighty dollar. Are you sick and weary? Don't go to Wall street. J am told that the poor beggar never enters that dark, narrow thorough fare. Say what we will, it wields untold power, governs every business enterprise, runs every railroad, diggs every mine, con trols wheat, corn, cotton, pork factories, every pleasure resort; in short, runs this oouniry. Yes, and one Bight 1 go to the theatre; one Sunday 1 hear a great preach er; one day 1 walk about the central Park and look at the lordly dwellings on Fifth avenue. Oh yes, a man can wander for days and -weeks looking and listening and learning in this, one of the great cities of the world. But vou see our preacher didnt go my way. I must tell you about it. In Wades boro is a poor, struggling colored Baptist church. It had mismanaged its finances, was heels overhead in debt. Poor negroes! There had been sacrifice, but church and all must go. I don't know why he cared so much, bat he said, "Now, I am in New York. I'll go to our great Home Mission Board. I'll tell them about that poor little struggling colored church down in Wades loro. Mavhan thev will help it some.?' They listened to the tale, and our preacher was told to call next day, and the next, and the next. Somehow ho became inter ested for the poor little negro church in Wadesboro, and daily he visited the home mission rooms This was not my way or vour way, but it w as tiie preacher's way. Time was up and he had to leave the great city with nothing done for the poor little negro church But he had sown the seed lor suffering humanity, and one day a check came for two or three hundred dol lars, sufficient to place the poor negro church on its legs clear of its debts hum ble, though, they are. Somehow I can't help but think many an earnest petition goes up to God from the poverty-stricken homes of the members of that church for that preacher. Yes, I like preachers; they are the salt of the earth, trying to help somebody aloug the road to eternity. Sometimes when too persistent begging for foreign or home mis sions, or education, or orphans, or other causes, we wish they'd preach about other thiugs. We love to hear them expound the Word and make plaiu the hidden mys teries, and give it to our neighbors about their short coinings, but when it coiues to a pure, unselfish, gratuitous act of goodness like this about tnat poor little church we poil off our hats and say amen and amen. uue com niiiui iu uia vte ouian iiuulo Democrats, Silrer RepnbIIe and Populists JUy Act Togeth er IlerealTter. ' WASHiSGTOJf, April Ik The final agree ment among democrats, ilver republicans, and populists in the Senate looking to a per manenrcoalition was reached at a meeting of representatives of those parties held in Senator Gorman's committee room at the Capitol yesterday. The agreement had its origin in the effort to reorganize the Senate committees. There were present at the meeting Senators Gorman, Cockrell, Wal thall, Jones, of Arkansas, and Murphy, democrats; Senators Cannon and Mantle, silver republicans; Senators Allen and Pettigrew, populists. With reference to the matter of the Senate reorganization, it was decided that the com bination should holdout for the assignment of all the places on committees heretofore held by democrats, while it was agreed that the republicans should haye the places hith erto filled by republicans. This will give the republicans all the committee chairman ships vacated by the retirement of Senators Cameron, Sherman, Dubois, Squire, Mitch ell, of Oregon, and-Brown, but it will give the combination about 70 vacancies, while it allows the republicans only about SO. The combination decided against making any concessions, even that providing for allowing the republicans, to fill one of the three vacancies on the committee on appro priations. The silver republicans say that their prin cipal incentive in entering the coalition is to protect the financial committee, which they feared might become an anti-silver organi zation in case the republicans were allowed to have their own way in committee organ ization. If the republicans accept the terms which the combination will attempt to dic tate the republicans will name a man to succeed Senator Sherman, while the silver combination will name Senator Voorhees' successor. This will insure the continued preponderance of silver men on the commit tee, while it will not interfere witn tne re publican programme on the tariff. Any intention to interfere with the pas sage of the tariff bill through the Senate is denied by the parties to the agreement. "So far as the democrats are concerned," said Senator Jones, of Arkansas, who is a member of the Senate committee on finance, "their plans are simple and easily under stood. It is our purpose to debate the bill thoroughly and completely, so as to show up the inconsistencies and lack of uniformity of rates in the bill, and then to allow the bill to pass, provided there are votes enough for it to pass. We shall, however.insist upon a thorough explanation of all doubtful pro visions and of making plain to the public the bad features of the bill. It is, as passed by the House, full of features which must condemn it before the public. Its rates are not only high, but there is a lack of uni formity and an appearance of favoritism."

Several weeks ago the deatB of James Russell, an aged man of near Richfield, Stanly county, occurred. He was a wagon mp.ker and wood worker and it was believed generally that he had saved considerable mon ey . and stored it away in secret places, and on last Tuesday, while several parties were engaged in lay ing off the widow s dower, a search was made. The dirt floor in the old wagon shop was dug up and a small block of wood thrown out. Being iu a state of decay, the block fell in pieces, and it was found to contain $405 in gold. A two-inch hole had been bored in it and the money stored there. Farther search was made and in the old farm house was found $100 in gold and silver.

As soon as they felt the jar of the air brakes they knew something se rious was wrong, beveral of them were thrown forward in their seats, but none of them were hurt. The instant the train stopped they rushed out to see what had happened. The scene that met their eyes begj description. There were the two great engines, piled one above the other, so that the headlight on one ao. 11 was up amongst the tele graph wires; the two express cars of Ino. do were splintered into a thons and pieces, hardly a piece as big as a man s arm being left. In less than three minutes' time the postal car of No. 11 was on fire, and but for the use of the chemicals at hand, and the heroic work of Postal Clerk John Hill Carter, of 36, both trains would have been m flames in a few minutes' time. " But the first thought of those who hurried from the trains to ascertain the cause of the stoppage, and who were greeted by the frightful scene described, was for those who were in the cabs, and forward cars.

Accidents happen all through life aud some are of a very serious nature, dut the sad mishap that befell the little 4-year old son of Mr. Harris Richardson on last Wednesday is the most appalling and heart-rending. Air. it. hauls pine logs o a saw mill. On the day mentioned he had his little son with him on the large log carriage as he was making a return trip with a heavy load. A sudden jar of the cart in running over a root caused the child to fall to the ground with his head in the rut just in front of the large wheel that was grinding the earth under its broad tire and weighty load. Before the team could be stopped the top part of the head from just over v the ear, reaching around the forehead, was severed from the body and mashed flat. The farther was alone, and had to gather up the remains and carry them home and place the dead child m its mother's arms. and savs. know old Brother DodsonV ' said a voice. Oh, yes; 1 kucw Brotlier Dodsdn freckled-face, rather short.broaJ-raoathed. One of the strange things about him was, he wore a red wiy. Whatever induced this old saint to wear a red wig 1 never could tell. Oh, yes, I knew Bro. Dodsou not in the flesh but in the spirit. I knew he trav eled every railroad iu the State, preaching and collecting money to sena tne gospe.i 10 the Indians, hardly reserving enough for decent clothes for himself. One night at one of our State conventions, Dr. Pntt-hard was on the platform making a wonderful appeal to build that tine Baptist church in Cnariotte. Old Brother DoUson was seated on the platform. The old man, with his tieart all aglow for the Master, jumped to his feet and called out, "Put me down ten dollars." Dr. l'ritchard stopped, caught him by the hand aud said, "Yes, 'bless vour old soul, you'd give to the Master if you had to go iu your shirt sleeves aud live on dry bread." But the old Brother's spirit was contagious, and money passed up the aisles aud was handed over heads till the church was built, and 1 never pass it but what I see old Bro. Dodsou's ten dollars. It seems to me to cover all the front next to the street. The old man has passed up above high up, too. His old red w ig has turned to a erovvn of glory; his old thread bare suit is cast off for a robe of celestial brightness, lie didn't live our way, but his'life of sacrifice was worth tiio living.
