HOMBTHISO TO TALK ABOUT It MS RE
The Proposition Now is to Buy the Char
lotte Female Institute Property and Have
Court House and Lawyer' Offlcea and
Jail all on the Mock.
The new court house question took
a very interesting turn yesterday af
ternoon at the meeting of the magis
trates and commissioners. The pro
position that is now being very seri
ously considered is for the cotyity to
buy the property ef the Charlotte
Female Institute, the idea being to
convert the Institute building into a
court house, with rooms for juries,
and court officials, and offices for the
lawyers all under one roof, and also
to build a modern jail on the lot The
plan uppermost in the minds of the
advocates of this project is to re
model the Institute building, so as to
have one or more court rooms on the
upper floors, flanked by rows of of
fices for the lawyers, each lawyer's
olllce to be connected with the clerk's
desk In the court room by an electric
call wire, so that when a case comes
up, the clerk can summon the attor
nies interested by simply pressing a
tuition. On the ground floor, it is
proposed to have the offices of clerk,
register of deeds, tax collector,
sheriff, jury rooms, etc. On a corner
of the lot, it is proposed to build a jail.
I here is something lu all this to
think about. The only objection to
the plan is that the location would
he too far awuy from the business
portion of the city, but the advocates I
of the project cite the fact that in I
cities, court houses are never located
In the business sctions. Only the
backwoods counties keep up the pio
neer style of having the court houses
in the middle of the public square or I
a neur to it as possible. They say !
that a court house should Ih in a '
j u i.'t locality.as free from iuterupting
noises, as possible, aud past expert- I
ence here in Charlotte gives force to :
this argument. Then it is said that'
iy making tins aeai, it win oe possi
ble to securean elegant county prop
erty for almost nothing, for the Insti
tute can be bought for fa),C?9, and
more than that sum can be realized
from the sale of the court house and
fail.
In nosing about to-day, Thk News
li mis that the lawyers and courthouse 1
otllcials do not take kindly to the j
proposed new location, but among ;
the commissioners and magistrates!
there is a decided ditterence of opin- I
ion, and what was at first considered ;
an improbable proposition, is fast
taking shape ana form and gaining
advocates the more it is discussed. 1

Three Thousand People Oreeted Him In the
Auditorium Last Night.
The Fife meetings are now well
under way in Charlotte, and even
now It can be seen that much good is
in store. There are not many visitors
In the city, Evangelist Fife having
preached at former occasions at
nearly all the towns around Char
lotte, but the interest of the city peo
gle is very great, and was amply
demonstrated last night, when Mr,
Fife made hisopenlng address here.
There were fully 3,000 Charlotte peo
ple in the auditorim, and the indica
tions are that tonight, when the real
work of Mr. Fife will begiu, there
will be a still greater crowd. At the
meeting last night Mr. Fife defined
his ptogramme and then conducted
a Bible exercise. He preached this
morning at 11 c'clock to a very large
crowd that had gathered despite the
heat. Bo far, the impression made
upon our people by the evangelist
is a most favorable one. Hs Is earn
est lu his work and is a most euter
talning talker.
The programme for the week will
be choir exercise from 10. .'to to 11 a.
ra., preaching to begin at the laUer
hour, and choir practice from 8 to s.
30 p. in., preaching to beirin at the
latter hour.
The Charlotte Female Institute.
The honors of the town wore di
vided last night between the Fife
meeting and the closing concert of
the Charlotte Female Institute. The
concert was attended by a
brilliant assemblage, and th
programme, as published lu yester
day's Nkws was carried out in an ex
ceedingly fine manner. This is

purchased by the county for a court
house; it may be transformed into
a music school by Prof. Maclean; u
may be converted into an art school
with a fine corps of teachers ; it may
be couducted as a high grade school
for young ladies, or it may be possi
bly continued as the Charlotte Fe
male institute. What better luck

fortuuate turn of circumstances Rev.

Dllworth-
Hot weather has come dowu on
the towu in good style, in the past
two days, and the beauties of a sub
urban retreat are beginning to be
fully realized by our people. Last i
night large crowds took the electric
cars for Dilworth, and spent several
refreshing hours among the flower
beds, in the groves and by the lake.
One enthusiastic lady declares that
breef.e out there last night was al
most equal to a sea breeze. The
electric cars run swiftly and make
quick trips, an J that is another de
light. The people of Charlotte are
already beginning to bless the name
of K. I). Latta, whose brains, money

The County and the O. ft C. Road. I
Considerable interest has been I
manifested in regard to the nation of (
the county commissioners in the
matter of the county bonds and the
Georgetown & Charlotte road. The
following Is a true copy of the reso
lution passed yesterday afternoon :
Rksoi.vkd, That it is the sense of
this Board that when the George
town & Charlotte Railroad Com
pany isorgauized and aboard of di
rectors are appointed by the couuty
commissioners, that no hasty steps
shall be taken whereby the stock
and bonds subscribed shall be put in
jeopardy or used or expended with
out adequate returns, and hence the
county stock in the Atlantic, Ten
nessee & Ohio railroad, and the
township lands which may be voted
should not be delivered or used until
after investigation by correspond
ences with connecting roads and
otherwise It shall be made and ap
pear remarkably certain that the
said Georgetown A Charlotte RaiU
road can bo operated or leased for a
sum sufficient to pay the annual in
terest on the township bonds and to
pay to the county of Mecklenburg at
least as much annually on its stock
in that road us is now paid for its
stock iu the A. T. O. Railroad.

The butcher's block has undergone
a remarkable evolution. Not only
are large and perfect tree stumps of
hard wood more and more dilheult
to obtain, but even the bent of them
crack and split most unaccountably.
The modern tirst-elabS chopping
block has therefore become a square
uiass made up of cubes of carefully
selected wood bolted and theu cross
bolted together, after being so ar
