He had been suffering with heart disease for some time past, and along with that came complications that baffled the skill of physicians. CapL Beigle hlmnelf was fully aware of the Inevitable and had given full instructions as to In funeral arran gements, even selecting ministers he desirod to officiate. The funeral ar rangewonts have been made strictly accordance with his expressed j wishes. Even,thouih the hopeless charac- ter of Capt Beiglo's illness was gen erally known, yet the passers by could not repretts a pang as they saw the drawn shade and tlu sombre streamer nt his store door this morn ing that confirmed the news that had been so sadly anticipated (or days past. It was only when these signs appeared that our people roalixed j that Capt Seigle, the brave soldier tho honored citixeu, the upright man, the revered aud respected In allthe walks of life, would no longer !e known among us.

Capt Beigle was a devoted Luthe ran, and had not only been an elder in that church fjr the past 15 years, but had always been forwmost in all church work. He was, indevd, the main pillar of St Mark's church in this city, and to him moro than to any one else belongs the credit of the handsome edifice that congrega tion now owns. In that building his name is perpetuated by an elegant Memorial window and a beautiful baptismal font, dedicated to the memory of his father and mother. His ways were upright, his heart was warm, his faith was sincere, and to such a man as this, the final reward is a blossed one. The funeral services will be con ducted from Ht. Mark's Lutheran church at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon tho arrangements, at Capt Seigle's request, bein left to Mr. J. C. Hur roughs and Capt H. E. Linton. The pastors selected by Capt.

Davidson College, along with other State Institution, has for years been exempted from taxation, but the farmers' legislature has stopped that under a now provision in the reve nue bill.

This is tho sign TiikNkws has had up for months past, and it means that Charlotte's best chance Is in danger of being lost. That Charlotte is In danger of losing the Roanoko A Southern road to Monroe That done, in two years Charlotte's property will have depreciated 30 per cent. We cannot afford to fritter away this chance with dallyings with the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce. This is one thing up on which all our people can come to gether. There is no question of bonds in it. It is simply a question of business. We must have the Ro anoko and Southern, and we must move at once. It .will go to cither Charlotte or Monroe. Thi is cer tain. It will be a great blow to Char lotte to lose this road as it did the i. C. A N. We can get it. but we must go to work at ouce. TiikNkws does not raise the danger signal for noth ing. Let wildcats, mosshacks, bonds aud anti-bond men have a general handshake and unite in this great etTort for Charlotte's posterity and prosperity. No londs in this ques tion, recollect, MKKTIMI TO-NIOIIT There will ! a public meeting to night at the Chamber of Commerce of all citizens, to illscuss this matter. One of the railroad contractors will be there to make some explanations. Every citizen of Charlotte interested in securing this importaut road, is requested to be present.

Tho opposition to the proposed bond amendments met at the court house lust night and it was a big and an enthusiastic meeting. Though a biting wind prevailed and tho air was full of snow Makes, there was no lack of warmth inside. The poople were there from wall to wall and even the aisle was filled by those who couldn't find seats. In the crowd mechanics and laborers, and humble people who own their own homes were conspicuously numerous. Any laborer, endowed with ordinary skill and energy conld have collected, by a little industrious scraping of backs ten or twelve two horse loadsof moss so thick were the moss backs. The day laborer touched elbows with tho mill ownerjtbc earpemter with the capitalist and it was altogether a really representative gathering of men, as 'well as a most enthusiastic one. Mr. J. C. Long presided In the chair and Messrs David W. Gates and Jopim Dowd were Secretaries. Mr. Gorge E. Wilsonas the first speaker and he reviewed the cause of the opposition in a very earnest and able manner being interrupted frequently by tln heartiest. sort of ap plause Mr. Jerome Dowd was call ed out. and he, too. made an earnest speech It was very evident Jthat 10 ,,.(,,, wa3 unanimous on one thing that resolutions against the proposed amendments should be adopt' d. and ul'. :i the resolutions were re. el ly Mr. li. N. Tiddy, they were adopted with cheers. It was no half heartod vote. When the chair man said "'all In favor of adopting these resolutions make it known by saying aye," the crowd simply drew in its br :Uh and let out an "aye"' ! that made the windows rattle. ' The lesolutions adopted were as follows: Resolved, That the amend ments to the charter of the city of Charlotte in reference to granting authority at this time, of increasing the bonded debt of the city $300,000 over and above the limit of tho pro sent charter, which limit is $200,000, making in all SoPO.OOO, meets with our disapproval. Resolved 2n 1. That the amend ments proposed in reference to con demning private property for public: purposes audassessing payment from the ow Her thereof foralUgt d iniprov- ments to the same is undemocratic ami unjust and an invasion of the rights of the ctlixen, completely de- j.rivmjr liim if the right of an appeal to a higher court, meets w ith our un qualified disapproval.

The -eeretaries were in structed to telegraph the re6ult of the meeting to our members in the legislature, which was) done.
