BIG BARBECUE TO-DAY. Red Men and Their Friends Enjoy an Outing at McDonald's Farm. It was a jolly crowd that went out to the barbecue given by the Red Men at Mr. T. A. McDonald's farm, five miles west of the city, this morning. The different livery stables of the city furnished their best livery, and along with the throng was Wadsworth's handsome "break," filled with a happy crowd of both men and ladies. The site selected for the barbecue is in a beautiful grove near Mr. McDon ald's home. The- meats and all other eatables were prepared beforehand, and by the time dinner was announced the most fastid ious saw before them that which pleas ed their sight and tempted their appe tites. Not only was the dinner nicely prepared, but there was abundance of everything. The tables bent low under their burdens. After dinner preparations for the dance, the crowning feature of the bar bex ue, were made. A large platform was bufll'in the grove. The band struck up a lively tune, and "the dance was on." At the time the News went to press the Red Men and their girls were still tripping the light fantastic in the grove. , The Italian string band of Charlotte, furnished the music for the occasion. From a gentleman who was at the feast the News learns that there was at least 200 on the grounds. SAN FRANCISCO BROKERS ASSIGN By Telegraph to The News. SAN FRANCISCO, Cab, Sept. 10.

Charlotte Will be the Distributing Point From VVhich Original Pack- ages Will be Sent into the Pal - metto State. - A System of Wagon Trains. The Southern and Seaboard railroads' have absolutely refused to haul uncas-f ed bottles fiaeked loose in box cars for, original package stores. This would seem at first glance to be a death blow to those stores but the counties of Fairfield, Union, Newberry, Sumter, Clarendon. Williamsburg, Florence, Marion, Marlboro and Darlington are the only ones that will be seriously ef fected. The latest that the News has heard regarding the transportation of liquors into South Carolina is that several large distillers in this section of the State have formed a kind of combination. They are to purchase a large number of v, agons and mules and are to organ ise an overland transportation compa ny of their own. The North Carolina distillers are not ly ihemselves in this new project. The large whiskey firms of the North and West arc to join hands with them. If this materializes (and there is no question about it as long as the pres ent dispensary law is in effect) Char lotte will derive lots of trade from this source. Our city being located so near the border line, it will of necessity be" the distributing point. It is from this place the train of wagons w-ith their loads of "bug juice" will make the start for the counties in South Carolina that are not reached by roads that will transport the "op's.". A News reporter in a talk with a prominent whisky man of Charlotte to day learns that this scheme while in its infancy, is thought to be. about the only plausible way of getting out of the present muddle. The Southern and Seaboard roads the whisky men say have gone .square back on them con cerning transporting the uncased pack ages. They claim that there existed a tacit agreement between them and the above named roads that these packages should be received for transportation so long as the law was observed. The branch office of the Robert Port ner Brewing Company in this city has made several large shipment of orig inal packages into South CarHlina. Ow ing to the action of the Southern and the Seaboard they say that they will not attempt another. Their last shipment was made yester day evening. The ris?vf. they say. is too much and they do not cart to get mixed up in court cases. REFUGEES PASS THROUGH Numbers of Frightened Citizens Going Through Charlotte to the North. Again this morning No. 36, on the Southern brought in a number of citi zens of Lousiana and Mississippi who were getting out of the fever stricken districts. As the News stated a day or so ago the situation in in. and around New Orleans was worse than the press dispatches indicated. The vestibule last night was three hours late caused for the most part by loss of time at quarantine points. The New Orleans sleeper that usually runs through to Jersey City has been aban doned entirely and a News reporter learns that it is more than probable that "the Montgomery sleeper will go for the same reasons. Mail agents inform the News that the postal service is coming in for its share of inconveniences. All mail from in fected cities is thoroughly fumigated before it is allowed to reach the des tination. Nearly three hundred refugees from New Orleans and other points were landed in Atlanta last night up to 12 o'clock. FURNITURE HAS ARRIVED. For the New Court House. Building Inspected by the Committee To-day. The building committee met this morning and inspected the new court house. They examined the work and approved it. Some minor details are yet to be completed, such as painting and cleaning up certain parts of the building, putting on the vault doors, etc.. but these will be completed with in the next ten days.

One car load of the furniture has ar rived, and Is being unloaded today. Three other carloads are expected to arrive this week. The representative of the Bruhswick-Balke-Collender Co., who is to superintend the installation of the furniture, is expected to arrive here tonight. PAID TAKE8 IN COPPERS. One Man Handed in 1684 "Brownies" to the Sheriff. There has been quite an early rush to pay taxes, as many people are afraid they may be prosecuted under the new lav, and laid liable to imprisonment for delinquency in this matter. Wheth er the law is ever enforced or not, it tends towards the prompter payment of the "tribute unto Caesar" that all cit izens have to pay. This morning a man came into the sheriff's office with what might have been gold from Klondike, but wasn't. It was a lot of "brownies." known in the coin of the realm as United States copper cents. The clerks counted them out, and there 1684 coppers the amount due for taxes. And though coppers are ! hardly legal tender in such quantities, he got the receipt for his taxes.

TWENTY-FIVE KILLED FREIGHT ANO PASSENGER TRAINS ; COLLIDE AT A JUNCTION I Terrible Railroad Disaster at New j Castle, Colorado, This Horning. j The Conductor Looked at the Wrong J Column of Figures on the; Time Card By Telegraph to The News. i NEW CASTLE, Col., Sept. 10.
