Postal Rates to Foreign Countries. New York. October 3. From the fact that over 500 letters were deposited in trie postomce on Tuesday for dispatch to foreign countries, each prepaid by a two cent stamp, it would appear that a considerable portion of the public are under the erroneous impression that the foreign as well as the domestic rata ot letter postage has been reduced.

A Terrible Cotton Gin Accident. We regret to learn that Mr Richard A Torrence, a prominent citizen of Hopewell township, this county, met with a very serious accident in his cot ton gin yesterday, by which he had his right arm torn off in the saws of the gin. The gin bad become choked, and in the effort to clean it, Mr Torrence got his band caught in the saws which drew his arm in up to the elbow, badly larcerating it all the way. A messenger was dispatched to the city for Dr Gib bon, who went out to give Mr Torrence such treatment as may be necessary. From what the messenger eould tell about the injury, it is evident that the arm will have to be amputated. Mr Torrence served in the Confederate army and left a leg on a battlefield. In this sad misfortune which has over taken him, he has the sincere sympathy of his many friends in the city and country. ?. There's Nobody Like Him. I If there is anybody in thd world who is purely original and" who canribt be imitated in any manner or form, we would wish to remark that hs is Gov Z B, yan.ee." This fact .has, been known to our people for years past, but it is demonstrated anew everyday. Yesterday the Governor was seated in the Central Hotel office conversing with a, number of friends, when a couple of Grangers came sidling by. They looked a.tther Governor I lik$they' wanted -to hug him, and catching their giance he leaned back and holding out a hand to each saluted them with i "Why, hello, Hello, old stick-in-the-mud and turnip tops, fowd'yedoi .howde.do, hp'wdj, howdy." "Tollable, Governor, just tol lable, thank yon, how; are, you,? theje tilled evidently almost' choked ''with emotion at this warm reception.

It is no wonder that the people love The Circus Arrived. I The first of the circus train arrived in the city from Chester at 11 o'clock last night. Theie was an immense erowd in Chester to see the show yesterday and though the order was generally good, one serious fight occurred in which a man was badly cut up. From parties who saw the circus in Chester, we learn that it is a really good one, as good as any that has ever come through this country, and its employees are a much more orderly and respectable class than is usually the case. All the cages were unloaded from the cars last night and the street parade will take place to-day about noon. i i Operations of a Bogus Circus Agent. A tew days since a man arrived at Monroe and announced that hjrwas the advance agent for old John Robinson's circus which was following him and would shortly appear in Monroe. He had some old circus pictures and these he posted round about. He then made contract with Mr E M Griffith, for teams to haul the circus and made other contracts, also, the whole amount ing to $300. After having finished up his business, he found that he .was short of cash and going to the People's ban arew$5on th'i circus account. Put ting the money into his capacious pock ets he hied him away to regions that the people of Monroe wot not of. He was a swindler, of course, and the won der is that the people of our wide-awake neighbor town could not tell it. He took in the town almost as badly as did the hotel register fraud not long ago And that is not all. This "agent of old John Robinson" sampled the credulity of other towns along the Carolina Cen tral road and it makes the people mad to think about the way he fooled' them. i . Searching: for Claimants to a Dead Man's Estate. s Messrs Jones & Johnston, attorneys Of this city, are at present engaged on "a tough old settlement, and one that is not without interest. It is a petition. for partition in the estate of Mc. Wjlson Miller, an old citizen of Mecklenburg county, who died last spring, leaving about $1,500 in personal property and 850 acres of land. He was not married, and died without a will, and his prop erty, tnereiore, is to he divided among his relatives. He had eleven brothers ana sisters, an oi wnom are aeaa ex cept one, and the descendants who are entitled to an interest in the estate are scattered throughout all the Southern States, West Virginia, Ohio and Illinois. The whole number interested in the case is 150. When the estate is divided among these, the shares of those way down in the fifth generation will not be more than one seven hundred and forty-second part of it. About fifty of the claimants live in Mecklenburg coun ty. Messrs Jones & Johnston have dis played considerable ability in tracing up the missing relatives, and Mr. Her- riott Clarkson has aided them by draw ing up an ingenious and skillfully de vised chart, grading the claimants. The lawyers have written large numbers of letters searching up the kinfolks, and nave traced up every member of the family . to the fifth generation. The only line that they have been unable to trace fully is that of Valentine Faggart, who married Sidda Purviance, and who moved to Louisiana, where both died. A child survived them and went, it is said, to Texas, where all traces In this ease are lost. Messrs Jones and John ston think that thev have the names of ill entitled to an interest in the estate, but if there are any yefc unhoard of they can come in for their share. It is an interesting case, and no very easy one to handle. Grand Commandery, Knights Tern. 1 plar. As we have already announced, the Grand Qpmmandery of the order known as Jlnignts Templarr for the State of North Carolina, will meet in Charlotte next Tuesday evening, Oct 9th, at the Masonic Temple, at half past seven o'clock. Delegates and representatives from Raleigh, Wilmington, Asheville and Durham will be present. They will be met at the depots by a commit tee consisting of Sir Knight3 Cbas R Jones, A G Brenizer, O F Gregory and C W Alexander, and escorted to the Central Hotel, where they will be the guests of Charlotte Commandery during their stay in the city. Hon Robert E Withers, of Virginia, the Grand Master of the Grand Encampment of tihe Uni ted States, has been invited and Is ex-- pected to be present. This will be the first appearance of so exalted an offi cer of the order in North Carolina in an official capacity. He will probably arrive on Tuesday morning, coining as he will direct from theGejperal -Convention of the Episcopal ckurchno w in session in Philadelphia, to which body ke is a delegate. . The Grand Commandery will be open ed Tuesday evening at half past seven o'clock, and all the members present will appear in full dress uniform. Without authority for saying so now it is expected that the commandery will make a public parade some time during the week, and our "city cousins" will have an opportunity of seeing the Sir Knights in their beautiful and attrac tive uniform On Wednesday evening Oct lO.Charlotte Commandery will give a banquet in honor of their distingush- ed guests. These observations are only semi-official, but they are correct enough to be read with interest. This is the first time this body has ever met in Charlotte, but we feel assured that they will receive a cordial if not Knightly welcome from our people.

The train coming in from Columbia yesterday afternoon was loaded to the roof and passengers were hanging on to everything except the wheels. The majority of the load was composed of cotton field hands. The Carolina Cen tral train also brought a load and by sundown the streets were crowded, there being enough people here at that time to fill the circus tent, to say noth mg of the crowds that came in during the night on the different trains and of the people who will come' in this morn mg from the country. The threatening weather seems to have no effect upon circus goers and we will have a boom ing crowd in town to-day. Our city is well policed and it is to be hoped that the .day will be free from disturbances Of any kindj; ) ; "i " A Fine Surgical Operation. ' Dr Henry Bahnson, an eminent sur geon of Salem, N. C, yesterday perform' ed a tine surgical operation upon the arm of Dr John Irwin, in this city. About two years ago Dr Irwin had one bone of his forearm broken by a blow with a stick in the hands'of. a , negro, in Charlotte and the broken bone was set, but failed to knit and has ever since given Dr Irwin a good deal of trouble. 'Dr Bahnson yesterday cut away the flesh from around the bone, sawed off the ragged edges and drawing them closely together sewed them securely with wire. The wound will be kept open until the bone knit s when the wire will be withdrawn and the flesh permitted to heal. It was a very deli cate operation and was most success- fnlly performed. Armstrong's Minstrels Collapsed. The Armstrong Brothers Minstrel combination, so well known in Char lotte, stranded ia Indianapolis on the 4tb. They organized about six weeks ago, opening at Baltimore, and played with indifferent success until last week, when they reached Louisville and drop ed a cool $1,000 on the engagement. Up on reaching Indianapolis- they met the Haverly's and this contributed to mak: ing the season a' poor one financially, Fields and Hanson attempted to attach 4.1 1 L m . . iu uox receipts, ana round the same had been sold earlier in the dav to the Dicksons. Then thev went for the pro perties, and discovered . that it was covered by a bill of sale, issued to George Hammond, one of the com pany, mSAugust last. The Armstrongs report that there was due Fields and Hanson about $50, one having over drawn $40 and the other with a balance due of $90. The 'weekly expenses of the combination were about $1,200, of which $625 went for salaries. The man agers are behind two weeks on salary account, but have few other outstand ing debts. They are said to be respon sible, and announce that they will re turn to New York and reorganize for a tour through the south. Thejpresent combination is made up almost entirely of variety people. The comedians in elude Will H Mayo, David Foster, John Sheehan, Jerry Kennedy, Arty Hughes and Frank L Hanson. The two princf pal singers in the olios were Bank Win ters and Wm H McPherson, both of whom it is said will join Haverly. Hotel Arrivals.
