L.ee Iatta, ot Hiekory, M. C, Charged with Forgery and Lodged ia the City Prison. A young man named J Lee Latta, hailing from Hickory, N.C was arrest ed in Atlanta, Ga, last Friday, for pre senting a forged draft at the Banking House of Maddox & Rucker. The ., Constitution of Saturday gives us the following particulars in reference to him: The prisoner is, according to his dec laration. twenty-one years of age. He is about five feet five inches tall, land wears a small black mustache. He eonverses in an easy manner, and used the best language. After beingimpris oned he cried bitterly and declared that sickness bad brought him to bis trou ble. He ia a spencerian artist of great ability as is evidenced by specimens of his writinga which were found upon him and that he was desirous of making money out of his dexterity with the pea was apparent by the a umber of forged checks and drafts found upon him. Among his papers were a draft drawn at Crawfordsville, Ga, dated September 25, 1883, in favor of C. E. Murphey. and signed by F. Richards. This draft was for $74.70, and was en dorsed by C E Murphy and B W Wrenn ; a check drawn in Charlotte, N C, datea August 22d, 1883, for $75 in favor of L f D Elliott and signed by L W Little & Co. Thia check was indorsed as follows : Pay to Hillsboro Manufacturing CojL D Elliott Hillsboro Manufacturing Co." Also, a check for $50 on the Merchants & Farmers Bank of North Carolina, payable to C M Besttcand signed by B T Wallace. This chepk wasvalso properly indorsed- iThe handwriting onall of these papers was executed in a faultless tyle. .They; bore the appearance of genuine commercial paper, and might .have passed; an expert. A letter from his brother, C Gr Latta, who is a member of the firm of Latta & Myatt, wholesale grocera, Raleigh. N C, sets forth the fact that the prisoner is a married man, and that be is not too fond of work. The prisoner says that he has been down in Florida, and that his health drove him away from there. At Nor cross he met a man who gave him the blank checks and drafts. He filled out the one which landed him in the city prison after reaching Atlanta yester day. He expressed great remorse, and if he escapes prosecution thrs time he will likely tarn his talents to some thing bettfr than signing other people's names to checks. HONORED REMAINS.

Removing the Confederate Dead Irom Washington City to Raleigh. The Ladies Memorial Association o f North Carolina has at last succeeded in raising funds to commence work of re moving the North Carolina dead from Arlington Cemetery, in Washington City, to Raleigh. The Raleigh News & Observer says: "Rev E Rich, in a most graceful letter, accented the invitation to act as chaplain on the occasion. The caskets will leave Baltimore Tues day morning, October 16, it is probable, and reach here the evening of the next day. They will lie in state in the capitol until Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, when the ceremonies of reinter ment will take place at Oakwood.

Ga., and Clos in Davidson township. Iredell county, seus Bakery, Charleston, b.U,, on the banks of the Catawba, near the Mecklenburg line, and swept the fine old familv residence away. . With the residence the smokehouse . and kitchen wet e burned. Mr D A Barclay, $he su perintendent of the homestead,'lost a good deal of his furniture and all his clothing, and part of Mr McDowell's furniture was saved by the efforts of the neighbors. The fire originated from an ash box in the kitchen. The dwelling destroyed was a magnificent, country mansion, the old McDowell homestead being known as one of the finest' in all this section of the country. No estimate has yet been made of the loss, but it is severe. The barn and gin house were saved with their contents,by hard work. The glareof the conflagration lighted up the country for miles around and thougk at midnight, large numbers of neigh bors hastened tJb Uie scene and lent val uable aid in saving property. , - : ; '- -' l erryhill. the i marble dealer is still sell' g but his ' stoclr of monu.J mentsand t?au ewnes i as cost r uau a ' .

JLast Saturday little Johnnie Murron of section master Murr, who is station ed on the AT & O Railroad, at Davidson College, appeased his appetite on raw sweet potatoes, of which he ate a great quantity. He was shortly " afterwards taken with severe pains in his stomach whica continued to grow worse and baffled the skill of the doctors until Sun day, when the boy died. Hisf remains arrived in the city yesterday morning' and were sent out on the Charlotte Co lumbia & Augusta train to Blythwood, S C, the home of the lad's mother, for burial. The deceased boy was about 12 years old. . J Onr Cily Station House. The police commission have recently had their attention called . to the bad condition of the city guard house, and the miserable arrangements at present' provided for imprisoning' offenders against the city ordinances, and haying made a thorough ' examination of the building, have concluded to recommend to the board of aldermen certain changes 'and improvements that will add very greatly to the comfort and ap pearance or the premises. We have been shown a sketch of the contempla ted improvements, and were impressed with the importance of the changes de signed. Humanity demands that crimi nals and law-breakers should not be treated like dumb beasts, and comfort should always be considered in the cade of those who fall into the hands of justice. , r s s " Acquitted ot the Charge ol Murder. .Judge Gilmer and Solicitor Osborne finished hp Stanly county Superior court last Saturday, and have opened Montgomery court in Troy, this week. The principal case of interest at Stanly court, was the trial of Dr Richard A Anderson, of Big Lick, who was charg ed with the murder of a young man named Charlie Cox, in that place, about the first of the present year. Young Cox while walking in the street, was shot down in the darkness by some un known party. Suspicion rested upon Dr Anderson as the guilty party, and a true bill being found against him by the grand jury, he was held in bond for trial by the Superior Court. The case was taken up last Thursday, and resulted in a terdict of "not guilty." This result was anticipated by those who appeared to Le familiat -vthe case.

From parties who arrived in the city on the Carolina Central train yesterday afternoon we learned of a fatal affray that occurred Sunday night at Cam eron's mill, in Richmond county, be tween negro men over a sum of money that had been stolen from one of their number. In the quarrel Frank Wil liams drew his pistol and shot George Brown in the abdomen, the wound proving fatal in the course of ten or twelve hours. The two parties above named worked at Cameron's mill with another negro named Arten Bennett, and on Saturday evening they were all paid their wages. The three roomed together,and during the night Bennett's money was stolen, he alleges,by his two companions. Sunday they got into a fight over the matter, which resulted in the killing of Brown. Williams, who did the shooting, has been arrested and jailed at Rockingham. A Shouting Sister in a Ridiculous Pre dicament. Last Sunday night while services were being conducted in one of the col ored churches of the city, a colored woman in the congregation named Lizzie Abernathy suddenly ceased shouting, and clasping her lower jaw with both hands, tried to push it shut, but all to no a7ail. She had shouted not wisely but too we.ll, and her jaw had jumped its socket, making her mouth stand open to its fullea capacity.

The Secrest Case. To the Elltor of the Journal-Observer. You were badly in error in your issue of Friday the 28th of September, in saying. that Judge liraves -compeuea the Superintendent of the Western N C, Insane Asylum to take Hoke Secrest into the Asylum. J uage uraves issued no such order, and neither has he at tempted to force Secrest into the Asy lum. He,nor no other Judge.can do that while the present Superintendent and Directors remain in charge of the Insti tution, unless a military force is sent to take charge or it. Secrest has been confined in Burke county jail, where he will remain until the ABylum authorities see proper to receive him 11 ne is reaiiy insane. imMiran nt.h a. cold now.
