CHARLOTTE, N. 0., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1883. PRICE FIVE CENTS. V V- YELLOW FEVER. Crossing; the Arizona Line Fearful Havoc at AIazatlan-Spreailinc to Other Cities and Northward on the tToast. ' ' . ' Washington. October 8 Governor ' Trittle of Ar.iz.ona to day telegraphed 4 the Marine Hospital Bureau that a HOldier at Camp Huachuea had died of yellow fever, also that several deaths have occuired at Nogoleson the Sonora )ine, where no quarantine regulations , -xist. The Governor further states that unless quarantine regulations are en forced along the Sonora boundary yel low fever is liable to prevail at Arizonia to an alarming extent. . Advices from Brownsville, Texas, Htate that the fever is still raging at Jazatlan, Mexico. Every nouse is a hospital. No account of the number of ieaths can be obtained as they are be yond counting and the mortality is hundreds daily. The fever has 'also made its appear- nice at San Jose; Costa Rica, Nicaragua. Acuapulco, Zacatula, Manzula, Corri j utes and San Bias, all Pacific coast cities, and the fever is traveling north ward. At Guaymas. on the Gulf of Califor nia, the scourge has also appeared and the victims die before medical assist ance can be called. Its course appears to be along the Gulf coast and will in all probability follow in the track of commerce up the Colorado River into ' hlifomia and the Gila River into Ari zona. A rigid quarantine is urged on iill the western roads as there is great danger until frost appears. CAN'T STAND IT. A Republican who Can't Stand Clique Role. Buffalo, N. Y., Oct., 4. Ex-Senator Geo. W. Forater, of New York city, in an interview with an Evening News reporter to-day announces his inten tion to bolt the Republican ticket and vote for all the Democratic state can didates except Comptroller. He will vote for Davenport on the ground of f riendship. He said "I have not changed my political faith but I have changed my course of political action. The Re publican party at the present time I consider to be managed by a certain clique of politicians who are running it. They are permitting it to be iden t itied with corporate monopolies pro duced from and cherished by an out rageous tariff Policy in their hands. The organization is drifting in a direc tion which I think is going to be fatal, and I am not going with it. The record of the Republican party m Congress in taxing the people $100,000,000 more than necessary was all wrong. It was an outrageous policy that was not justified by the pretense of paying off the nation al debt." A Mahonite Shoots a Straishtout Col ored Orator. Norfolk, October 3. Last night in Franklin, Southampton county, the straishtout Republicans held a political meeting, and while a colored orator named Prescott was speaking he was frequently interrupted by Sam Gregory. Not satisfied with the privilege of in terrupting the speaker Gregory became incensed at the replies which the latter made, and drawing a pistol, shot him. Gregory then made his escape to the forests, and from last accounts was still at large. His father Rev Jos Gregoryt was arrested for the part he took in the affair, but afterwards escaped and is also a fugitive. The Gregorys are lead ers of the Mahonites in Southampton. A Mother Attempts to Drown Herself and Two Children. Philadelphia, October 3. A des perate attempt was made by an Italian woman named Christiana Alfonso Guidi to drown herself and two children at the foot of Pine street this afternoon. She succeeded in tnrowing one of the children into the water which was res cued and was on the point of jumping from the dock with the other in her arms when she was taken into custody by an officer. Her husband was killed in the Jackson fireworks explosion at Chester and being unable to collect but 6181 of the $1,000 which was promised her by that city on account of his death she determined to put an end to her existence and her children. Yellow Fever Reported. , Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 3. At Brewton about half way between Montgomery and Pensacola on the Mo Jbile and Montgomery railroad four cas es of fever were reported in one house and foil deaths, one with hemmorrnge, also sufficiently 'suspicions to our due ' board of health, recommending strict 'quarantine against Brewton which is now in full force. Araerican Contributions to the O'Den- ell Defense Fund. London, October 3. Three hundred pounds were received from America to day as a contribution to the O'Donnell defense funds. When O'Donnell was informed of the circumstance, he ex pressed himself, as very grateful and said tbithe knew the Americans would not forget iiim-.3t Death of the First Volunteer. Auburn, N Y, October 3. Torrence j'Kennedy, of this city, died at 6 o'clock : this morning. He was the first volun teer in the war of the rebellion and a member of tho Assembly in 1853 and the author of the bill establishing the rate of tare of 2 cents a mile on the New York Central Railroad.

Correspondence Journal-Observer. Chester, S. O, Oct. 3. The Southern Telegraph Company is placing its poles .along aluda street to the office in the basement of the Cotton Hotel. It will be ready for business in a few day s. The question whether railroad section hands are liable to work on the public roads is being discussed with some in terest. Judge Fraser decided at the Winnsboro court that they are, and an appeal has been taken to the Supreme court br the attorneys of the C..C.& A. road. The same question will come he fore him at this place next week some hands having been fined by the magis trates for failing to work, and having appealed the case to the Circuit court. They are clearly not exempt from road duty under the terms of our highway law. Nance Bros, have just received from Kentucky a lot of extra fine saddle and draft horses. They know how to hanile them, and will add much to the attrac tion of our approaching fair by exhibit ing their paces. The county commissioners at their meeting on Monday last contracted for the building of a new bridge over Rocky creek at Stroud's mill. Messrs Alexander and Levi Wise are the con tractors at $950. At the same time they contracted for the repair of the bridge over Fishing creek at Wylie's mill. Messrs Joseph Nunnery and W. H. Ed wards are the contractors at $360. The executive committee of Bethel Presbytery met at this place on Monday evening. It made arrangements for supplying the vacant churches of the Presbytery with preaching for the bal ance of this year. The Baptist congregations of this county held their regular union meet ing with the church in this town on last Sunday. Interesting discussions were had on Sunday school work and other subjects pertaining to the welfare of the churches. Rev. G. A. Trenholm has declined the call extended to him by the Presby terian church here. His church in Ten nessee would not give him up. The ladies of the Presbyterian church are working industriously, preparing for a bazar to be held on the 17th and 18th insts. The object is to raise a fund for needed repairs on the church build ing. Victors to the county fair will find in this bazar much to .attract their attention and interest. It is apprehended that there will not be much civil business disposed cf at the term of court that begins on next Monday. The first week will be pretty well consumed in trying the jail-full of negroes on hand, and as the Fair opens on Tuesday of the second week, it will be impracticable to keep jurors and witnesses about the court house. Two men were married by a trial justice in this county recently. It was a put-up iob on the justice. The two young fellows blackened themselves and one of them put on female attire. They went to the justice's house, called him out and asked him to marry them. He did so. They paid him a two dollar Confederate bill, and left him chuckling with pleasure over his easily made fae. I am not able to say whether or not the newly wedded pair are living together. At the regular monthly meeting of the Building and Loan Association last evening seven hundred dollars were sold. Five hundred brought $675 and two hundred $8.75. Several shares of stock were sold for $2.60. Small boys, and large ones too, are impatiently awaiting the coming of the circus on Friday. It has been exten sively advertised throughout the coun ty, and an immense crowd is antici pated. We congratulate ourselves that it spends Sunday at Charlotte instead of Chester. Cotton and Mutton. Wool and cotton are not antagonistic and can be grown side by side. The New Orleans Times-Democrat quotes with approval Mr. Atkinson's scheme for sheep raising in the South. Each ton of cotton seed it is estimated will feed five sheep through during the six winter months, so that the mere waste of cotton farms would rear eighteen millions of sheep. In their turn the sheep, folded in the winter field, would return to the sou sufficient to fertilize the cotton crop. The next "World's Fair" of this country is to be held in New Orleans next year, and is expected to be a brilliant successor to Atlanta s intiital display. The enormous extent of the cotton seed product alone is shown in the statement that seven million bales of cotton grown last year produced, besides the "lint," 3.500,000 tons of the seed. In addition to the oil contained in this former waste.the hulls, now used chiefly for f uel.are said to add another to the materials for paper stock, though the method of manufactunng is still in its infantcy. All these signs show that the enterprise of the jiew ' south is ready to grasp at all new indus trial suggestions, and is tuny alive to the pecuniary value in local returns of industrial fairs, under soiled manage ment. . . t Hog and Chicken Cholera. During the past summer Dr. Salmon, of the agricultural department,in Wash ington has been conducting a series of experiments intended to ascertain the causes and means of prevention of hog cholera and pleuro-pneumonia among cattle.. At the cattle station near this city about thirty cows have been the subjects of experiment. Fifteen of them were inoculated to ascertain if the lung disease, which prevails about Washing ton, was contageous, but no results tending to establish that conclusion have followed the inoculation. Other experiments were made to discover a system of vaccination to protect hogs and chickens from cholera. The great est obstacle encountered was the lack of stability in the hog virus and its lia bility to deteriorate. The virus must be cultivated so as to keep it of uniform strength, and as the best means of do ing this is yet unknown, it must be as certained by further experiments. Bet ter results have followed the investiga tion into the character of the virus in chicken cholera,and Dr Salmon express es the opinion that a means of protect ing chickens from that diseasse will soon be known. Mile. Tan Zandt. Le Figaro. Her father possessed an estate in Texas, and his little daughter was brought up amidst tattooed Indians, wild buffaloes and little Chinese dogs. At the age of 4 she followed her father to the chase, riding behind him or be striding a horse. She used to visit In dian camps all alone and partake of the frugal meals of the squaws, etc. Is it astonishing, then, that she refuses to sing on a fixed date? ' Preparing for the Convention.

LOCAL RIPPLES. Wiley A. Walker has been com missioned postmaster at Winston. The office of the Southern Tele graph Company in Chester, S. C, was opened yesterday. Grau's company lost money in Dan ville and made just enough in Char lotte to carry them over the shoals. Junius Lee, for disorderly conduct, was yesterday fined $5 by the mayor. Henry Pratt, colored, for the same of fense, was also fined So. A train of seven Gypsie wagons are doing the country along the Caro lina Central Railroad and are heading this way. Our town authorities should raise the black flag against them. A board of officers convened at Fortress Monroe Tuesday to examine civilians for lieutenancies in the army to fill vacancies. Among the candidates are Daniel Ciark, of Washington, and Z. B. Vance, of Charlotte, N. C. Lemonade and candy stands are to be strictly prohibited on the circus grounds next Saturday, and nothing in the way of refreshments will be allow ed to be sold except under the circus tent, so Mayor Maxwell informs us. That cold wave that was said to be coming from the west, struck us yes terdayover the left. An August day that had strayed or got lost, came up, and the man with the straw hat and linen duster was an object of positive envy. The Charlotte bicycle club will at tend the South Carolina State fair at Columbia in a body, on the 14th of No vember. Thorn well Gilmer, the crack wheelman of the Charlotte club won the races at Columbia last year, and will try far it again this year. Itev R A Miller, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Monroe, re quests us to state that there will be preaching in the Presbyterian church at Matthews on next Sunday at the usual hour. All will ba glad to learn that Mr Miller's health is much im proved. Mr Herman Hirchfield, whom we published yesterday by authority of the Landmark as having skipped the town of Statesville, last week, requests us to say that he did not skip the town but only went away on a visit and has since gone back to Statesville and corrected the report. The train from the north came in four hours late yesterday. Up the road somewhere the engine broke down, causing the delay. The Columbia train did not wait for it and a special was made up on the Air Line, so passengers from here south did not suffer the de lay. Sergeant Henry Hill gave a pota toe thief a liveljsChase on Church street night before last. Finding the chase getting too hot, the thief dropped his bag which was captured by the officer and found to contain a bushel of fresh ly dug potatoes. Thief escaped. A quantity of ore fairly coated with free gold was exhibited in our of fice yesterday. It came from the old Johnston mine, which is now owned by Messrs Eli Hinson & Son. They worked the mine four days last week and took over a pound of amalgam that would assay about $120. The "sticking" seats in the opera house caused a good deal of mourning, truly. One young lady had a forty dol lar silk dress completely ruined. The Lord Mayor of the city left the house carrying a chair bottom with him,,but not in his hands, and particles of shawls were left on several chairs. It is to be hoped that this trouble will be remedied before another troupe comes along. Eclipses During: October. During the present month there will be two eclipses, one of the moon and the other of the sun. That of the moon will take place at two minutes after 1 oclock, a m, the 16th and will be visible in the United States and on the Pacific coast. The eclipse will last about one hour and fifty-two minutes, and only about 8-100ths of the moon will be ob scured. The phenomenon is remarka ble for being the only lunar eclipse vis ible in this latitude during the year. An annual eclipse of the sun will take place on the, 30th, visible on the Pacific ocean and partly on the Pacific coast. As the ring of sunlight surrounding the moon's dark disk will be invisible here, the event is of little importance.

'Of late years, the idea of displaying goods in tasteful styles in the stores and announcing "opening days," has grown popular among the merchants in Charlotte, and more attention has been paid to it this year than ever before. The plan of taking the goods out of the shelves and displaying them in an advantageous manner throughout the store is not only a good one for the customer, spreading out be fore his glance all the beauties of the season's styles, but is in itself a good advertisement for the merchant and attracts crowds to his store. Tke fall opening of Wittkowsky & Baruch, which was inaugurated yesterday sur passes anything of the kind heretofore attempted in Charlotte. For several days past the clerks and salesmen of this firm have been busily engaged in preparing for the opening, and had all in readiness. The interior of the store was a perfect blaze of beauty, gorgeous with every color imaginable and hung with fabrics of all qualities. It was the grandest display of goods ever made in Charlotte and the arrangement of the display was faultless. One must see it to fully appreciate it. When the re porter entered a group of ladies were discussing a lot of genuine India shawls, perfect beauties they were too (the shawls) and were priced at from $350 to $950 each. By the side of the shawls was a fine array of fur lined cir culars, brocaded Ottoman, and Russian circulars lined with sable and squirrel, ranging in price from $40 to $120. The millinery department was bright with plumage of birds from every clime, bonnets of every size, shape and design and ribbons of more colors than a dozen rainbows. The silk department was the finest part of the display, compris ing every shade known in evening suits, gros grains, ottomans, brocade, brocade velvets, plain velvets. Black silks were shown at from 50 cents to $3.75 per yard. Velvets and velveteens were dis played in every quality and color. The lace department was perhaps the fullest of all, and was the finest ever made in the State. It comprised Ham burge mbroideries, black, white and cream Spanish laces, torchon, Valen ciennes, escurial, oriental, maricourt, collarettes, black and cream Spanish fischues. Lace curtains in finest quali ty, Swiss goods to plain Nottingham lace ; antique bed sets, curtains, lambre quins and vestibule laces. The nannei display, consisting or every known thing in that line, covered a table 75 feet long. In linens there were imported Turkey red table sets, raw silk anijute table covers, and em broidered table covers from $1.25 to $15. The imported Irish, Scotch and German linens were very handsome The carpet display embraced every thing in body Brussels, velvets, tapss try, ingrains, three plys, rugs, mats, and mattings. There was a good line of furniture damasks, furniture coverings cretons, fringes and everything requi site to a richly upholstered department. Some things that were of more interest to the ladies than to the reporter were every variety of corsets, colored skirts every variety and color of felt flannel, silk and satin merino underwear, and in made up underwear just all sorts of thing3. The knit goods were handsome. In the hosiery department was a full line of silk hosiery of every color, fancy hosiery, etc. The best imported gloves eere shown along with gloves of all varieties. Woolen goods were abun dantly displayed and the clothing de partment was full and complete. .A novelty and something not often seen in Charlotte, was the display of eider down. The boot and shoe department was another interesting feature in the display. Over and above all, was the Brooklyn bridge that stretched from wall to wall with a 52 foot span. The piers are made from carpets, and in the make up of the bridge are laces, ribbons, napkins, doy lies and fancy handkerchiefs. The stanchions and cables are all shown and the passenger walks and railroad tracks are represented just as in the big bridge. To cap all, there is a miniature engine that crosses and recrosses the bridge on the track in imitation of a train. The construction of the bridge is wonderful and in New York it would, create a sensation. It is the work of Mr Frede rick Moles, whose skill as a decorative artist is unexcelled. In the construc tion of the bridge, 2,400 handkerchiefs, 1,800 yards of lace, 600 yards of ribbons and 2,400 doylies were used. The total cost of the material is about $1,900. The opening will be continued to-day with increased attractions. One fea ture we omitted to mention in the proper place, is the arch of autumn leaves, beautifully clustered, that spans the entrance to the millinery depart ment. On the whole, it is the most re markable "opening" ever known in Charlotte and all will be repaid by a Visit to the store. NOTES. After the opening yesterday morning was well under way, a lot of new goods came in by freight and was immediate ly put on exhibition. Among the goods was a fine line of seal skfn sacques. Last night the scene' at the store re minded one of a grand holiday festival, with hundreds of gas lights flaring and merry throngs of people filling the floors and balconies. TheMcSmith;Bandwas stationed in the store and discoursed delightful music. It may surprise those who saw the millinery display to know that every hat on exhibition was made, shaped and trimmed complete by Mrs Benson and daughter, -who have charge of that de partment V. ?

The following are the views of Ven nor on the weather for October: First week, warm entry with thunder storms and showers and generally cloudy and showery weather but favorable. Second week, wet and showery throughout, rains everywhere unsettled up to end of week. Third week, showery and cooler, cool evenings and nights, frosts proba ble about 20th or 21st. Fourth week, cool and showery, with fogs and mists. Probably a winter snap during the week, with sharp frosts and scattered snow flurries ; generally fair ending ef the month. Gored by a Bull. Capt. Jas. Davis, who lives near the poorhouse, a few miles from town, was very seriously gored by a mad bull yes terday morning. The bull was in the stable and Capt. Davis walking into the stall where the animal was tied was attacked and severely hurt before help arrived. The bull gored Capt. Davis in the thigh, inflicting two ugly wounds. Dr. J. P. McCombs was summoned and dressed the wounds, which he pro nounced painful but not dangerous. The bull had been raised by Capt. Davis and was never thought to be a vicious animal, but his reputation as a peacea ble bull is blasted by yesterday's occurrence. A Stranger in Trouble. A young man named E D Adams, from Danville, Va., was yesterday com mitted to jail in this city, in default of payment of a fine of $22.50, imposed by Mayor Maxwell, for rowdy conduct. Young Adams had found his way to a house beyond the Richmond & Dan ville freight depot, where, to use the ex pression of the policeman.he had "raised sand." He smashed a canary cage oyer the head of an occupant of the house, knocked in a couple of doors and smash ed in a lot of window sash. He was ar rested by officers Blackwelder and Boy te who brought him before the mayor for trial, and the result of it was a fine of $22.50. Adams had been in Charlotte but a short time and up to yesterday had conducted himself in a manner that won the respect and confidence of those who met him. He is said to be most re spectably connected and has friends in Danville who will see him out of his trouble. A Dividend Not Justified. The statement of President Buford, of the Richmond & Danville railroad, to the debenture bondholders, left a doubt in the minds of some as to wheth er the second installment of the 6 per cent dividend on those bonds, which was declared by the directors last year, would be paid this fall. Mr George S Scott, who is now virtually in control of the road, said yesterday to a reporter of the Atlanta Constitution, that no dividend would be paid this fall. "The directors had no right to declare a di vidend on last year's earnings," he said, "for a surplus over all expenses was on ly about $78,000, which, of course, was not enough to justify at 6 per cent div idend on $4,000,000 of debenture bonds." The present board of directors Mr Scott said, would stand by the terms of the debenture bonds, which are entitled to a dividend not to exceed 6 per cent, if the earnings of the road above all fixed charges and expenditures for necessary improvements are sufficient to pay it. The net earning for the present fiscal year, it is said, will exceed $400,000, and if the directors find within the next 60 days that they will have a balance suffi cient for the purpose they will beclare a 6 per cent dividend on the debenture bonds payable next spring and fall. A Colored View of It. The New York Olobe (colored organ) sums up the work of the Louisville con vention as follows "As we go to press 3 days of the convention have been con sumed, and the labors performed are satisfactory to us. Mr. Douglas's brave and incisive speech has been spoken and sent broadcast over the land, arousing the people to a sense of their duty ; the republican party has received a cold water bath, and President Arthur has been drowned in the bath-tub.' Herrings Champion Safe. Send to the manufacturers, Farrel & Co., 631 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, and get testimonials. Scarcely a day passes with out receipt of testimonials from some quarter of the globe, of the wonderful suc cess of the Pat Dry Chemical Filling, which generates car bonic acid gas under the ef fects of the fire itself and saves the contents of the safe.

O, father e Mr. Will Wolfe, of; this city, was very painfully hurt by a cotton gin a few days since. Mr Wolfe returned yesterday from a visit to his father and reports that his arm was larcerated by the saws of the gin from elbow to fin gers. Mr . Wolfe was endeavoring to knock down the bolt in the gin, when the saws caught his arm. A negro man standing by saw it, and in the twink ling of an eye had drawn his knife and cut the belt, stopping the gin and sav ing Mr Wolfe's arm from a terrible laceration.

No med'eine bas ever been known In the Sontb so effectual In the core of all those diseases aris ing from an Impure condition of the blood as bosadalls, tbe ureat Southern Remedy, for the core of Scrofula, White Swelling, BheumatUm. Pimples, Blotches, Eruptions, Venereal Bores and Diseases. Consumption, Qoltre, Bolls, Cancers, and all kindred diseases. Bosadalls purines tbe the system, brings color to tbe cheeks and restores the sufferer to a normal condition of health and vizor. It Is asserted that tbe ordinary cosmetics used by ladles are productive of great mischief, we believe this is so, and that a better means of se curing a beautiful complexion Is to use some good blood medicine like Bosadalls. the Great Southern Bemedy, which cleanses the blood and gives per manent beauty to the skin.
