Washington, August 30. The Star
this eveuiug publishes the following in
terview with Collector Brady, of: Pe
tersburg, concerning the reported con
ference of prominent politicians at the
Arlington Hotel last night: -Oh that
was ail a mistake about our having a
meeting yesterday," was the reply, -no
such thing occurred. Last evening,
however, a numoer of, us met in Gen
Mahone's parlor and had a pleasant
social talk and as yon can't get gentlemen
together now-a-days without the sub
ject of politics being introduced, ou
conversation took tat direction. There
were present.' 1st me see. Gen Mahone,
Gen Longstreet, Gen Chalmers, Beach
of Missouri, Jefferds of Mississippi, and
myself. I don't think Gen Mahone and
Gsn .Longstreet met since the war. and
they were anxious to see each other.
Nearly an hour and a half was occu
pied with relation of reminiscences of
the war times. Some of us fought on
different sides and our campaigning
recollections were very interesting.1
But you said that the meeting took a
political turn. Colonel, said the repor
ter. How about that Y
-Yea, and I have no objection to
- stating that the result was a general
desire to organizs and consolidate the
independent and disaffected factions in
the Sjutn with a view of being able to
do good work in 1884 as against the
Bourbon Democrats for the benefit of
the Republican party. At least that
was my idea. We have assurances that
Jones of Texas, Petkin of Louisiana,
Cash of South Carolina, and numbers
of other such men are heartily in favor
of such a : plan and will lend it their
personal assistance."
Was any particular course - decided
upon, or did you make araangements
for a future conference? ;
"Neither." was th reply. "Our meet
ing was mainly accidental and the con
ference, as I have said of a general na
ture. Uf course we look upon Gen.
Mahone who has been so successful in
Virginia as the best fitted to engineer
any such movement. Any step that he
may see fit. to take will undoubtedly be
endorsed and the rest will fall into line,
but as yet- the plan has taken no defi
nite shape.

In the Superior court yesterday morn
ing the ease of Joseph White and - Ed
gar ' Miller, two young men charged
with the murdel of Wm Woraham, in
Lemley's township, last November, was
called for trial. The following jury was
e jq panelled to hear the case: - Thos K
Sammonds, Z W t5 Taylor, J M Cook. D
L Elliott, J W Kirkpatriex, W B Tay
lor T M Carr. J W Cooper. W L Man
son, U J Win gate, T R Ma gill, J J Sims.
The prisoners are represented by
Messrs Jones & Johnston and By num.
and Solicitor Osborne is assisted on the
part of the State by W C Maxwell. The
examination of tha witnesses was com
menced in the forenoon and was eon-
eluded at sundown and this : morning
the counsel will address the jury. ' The
case excited considerable ' interest aad
the court room was crowded, all day.
The opinion prevails generally that
from the evidence) add need the defend
ants will be acquitted of the charge of
murder, as their counsel will endeavor
to show that Woraham came to his
death by injaries received in a fall from
his mule. The State takes the ground
that Worsham waa killed by a blow
from a club in the bands of one of .the
parties. It is considered a hard case
for the , State.' Wm Woraham. the
young man for whose murder Miller
and White are arraigned got into a
difficulty with a party of young men re
Lemley's township, while oo his Way to
prayer meeting on the night of the 80th
of November, 1831, and was found
lying in the road next morning with
his skull crushed in two places.' It was
alleged that he had received these in
juries by falling from his horse.' Miller
and White, with whom he had the diffi
culty, were arrested on charge of having
crushed the man's head with a club and
the coroner's jury returned a verdict of
guilty against them. They were re
leased on bond and yesterday appeared
promptly for their trial. The evidence
in the case is rather knotty and the
efforts of the lawyers to-day will be in
teresting.
The ease of Thos Shields for the mur
der of Joseph G Sitton, at the Ore Knob
mine a short while sines, was set for

wanted it moved 7 to " Lincoln. After
hearing the arguments of counsel. Judge
Gilmer finally decided to try the ease
at this court. Shields made afidaylt that

Another Asaevme uonaway Acciaeau
Of the many runaway accidents t
Asheville this summer, probably the
most ' startling and serious - was that
which befell a young man named Love
jay and Miss Sophia Bratton, who were
out driving near that town a few even
ings since. They were coming down
the hill to the. depot and following be
hind them was a carriage containing
party of ladles. The brake to the car
riage broke and that vehicle was pre
ci pita ted into the buggy In front of it.
Mr Love joy was knocked from the bag
gy and the horse of course ran. Miss
Bratton, after being carried some dis
tance, was thrown from the buggy.
The horse continued his flight until he
reached the bridge oyer the river and
here a finale was put to the perform'
ance by , the animal plunging off .the
bridge and into the river, carrying the
buggy with him. The horse's neck wss
broken and his brains dashed out. Miss
Bratton was very, painfully hurt, but
her injuries are not dangerous. She is

Dr J J Mott paid a visit to the city
this week aad it was not to be supposed
that be came here for nothing. Him
self. Col Wm Johnston and Dr Nor-

thing, and what it was the reporter was
not long in finding out. They are going
to start a paper, a Liberal paper, and
from what we could gather of their
plans. Col Johnston and Dr Norment
are to do the editing. Tbeir project has
not assumed ' full shape and another
meeting is to be held to perfect all
arrangements. It Is understood that
their joint capital for investment in the
enterprise amounts to the substantial
sum of 817J000, one of them alone giving
810,000. They have not decided upon
the location of the paper, but it will be
published in either Charlotte, Greens
boro or Baleigh. Most likely the first
named place will be selected. The new
champion Is welcome to ' the ring.
These Democratic editors are almost

The Balldisg Boom of Charlotte aad
' the Cause ef It
. We have heretofore . referred to the
fact that an unusual number of build
ings have, been erected .in Charlotte
during the past few months. Without
giving the exact number, it Is safe to
aay that it is largely in excess of that of
several years past. This building fever.
if it may be so called, is due no doub
in a great measure to the active opera
tion and successful management of our
city . building . and loan associations,
three of which are in existence in this
community. The design of such asso
ciations is, as is well, known, two-fold
providing a reliable savings bank for
persons of limited means, and affording
capital at reasonable rates for, building
purposes. The latter is of course the
mora attractive, inasmuch as an easy
plan of obtaining homes is offered to
those who otherwise could not hope to
purchase that class of . property. . We
hare been shown tha semi-annual
financial statement of the xrwbawfv
Perpetual Building and Loan Associa
tion, which is of a highly, satisfactory
character, . and bears evidence . to the
fact that its affairs hare been managed
and directed by able and skillful hands.
It is just now about entering upon its
second serieajtiaring carried L000 shares
during the past six months, and the
prospect Is rery good for fully L000
shares additional for the incoming
series. - The books of subscription for
the second aeries close to-morro wnight.
This association has loaned out about
8,500 during the past six months, and
the net profit upon the stock has been
11 cents per share. In that ratio the
dividend for the first year will be about
8 per cent upon the first series. The
fact that this infant association can
make such a good showing ought to at
tract a large number af subscribers. .
