MILL MAN STABBED.
Atrocious flurder of fir. John L.
Odell at Bessemer City.
News reached Charlotte last night
of a terrible murder at Bessemer City,
in which a well known cotton mill man
lost his life.
Mr. John L. Odell, a nephew of the
weathy cotton mill owner, Capt. J. M.
Odell of Concord, has been for some
time boss weaver in the Southern cot
ton mills at Bessemer City. Mr. Odell
this week discharged C. M. Davis, an
employe. Yesterday Davis was around
the mills and entered the weave rotm
several times. At last Odell put mm
out forcibly. He came back and had
some hot words with Odell. Before
Odell knew what he was doing, Danis
drew a knife and stabbed Odell in the
neck severing the jugular vein. As
soon as he saw the blood spurt from
!hi3 victim's neck, the murderer fled.
Odell staggered to the door and ran out
after his assailant! The blood was flow
ing freely from the stab, and in a mo
ment he realized' that the wound was
probably fatal and started to the drug
store. Just as he got across the rail
road he fell stone dead.
The deceased was a nephew of Capt.
J. M. Odell, one of the principal own
ers of, the Bessemer City Mill. He was
about thirty years old, and leaves a
wife and several children who reside
in Salisbury. -r
A gentleman who came up from Bes
semer this morning says there is a feel-
ling of intense indignation against the
murderer, who was caught by a pesse
and placed in the guard house last
night. There are even threats of lynch
ing; but it is thought the law .will be
allowed to take its course.

es'
m
The Mud way 1 closes tonight.
As Happy 'Hi Hubbard says this is
every body's night." Five thousand
doggers were gotten out this morning
announcing this fact, so you see the
invitations are general. The Elks hope
there will be no regrets They put up
the stuff about $2,000 to give Char
lotte We' carnival, and they have to
rely pn reciprocity in trade as a pre
vehtive" to getting in a financial hole.
The attendance has been' magnificent
when t?he skies would allow, but it has
rained on the just and the unjust "in
the Midway as it has !in other places.;
But for this the Elks' treasury would
'have had a handsome surplus. As it is
they see their way out of the woods,
and are happy accordingly. The crowd
last night was as large as the night
before, and every body in the same
good humor. As soon as dark comes
every one is irresistibly-drawn to the
Midway. There is a fascination about
it that could not be resisted nor over
come. It's the joliiest place in . the
world. Each attraction attracts as the
"magnet did the silver churn." The
fcrowd is not the least of the attrac
tions. Everybody goes to meet every
body else.
The Streets of India draw well al
ways. The tumpiexs in tneni ..,are; as
fine as split silk. Tney did Wonderful
things last night. .After you ;have seen
your friends froni lirdia, a gentleman
from the Orient says ''Holy Moses" to
you a you came from the tent, which
is a reminder to you to ride the camel.
Holy Moses" and "Queen," the big
elephant, make their part of the money
for the big show. Queen carries eight
people at one time." The ride is delight
ful; The sensation is that 'of a gentle
rock or swing: in a hammock. There
is'nt a jolt nor a jar. It's tenJ cents a
itide, and the ; distance is short, con
sequently the dimes are - many that
nrid thciir way into tKe elephant's
trunk. - ' I?'"'4'
r Queen is a very interesting individu
al; She was born and : reared f n India.
iShe. "first Appeared iii i-ublixi" in Ui-s
bol5jE:icar wardens in London. There
Queen Victoriasaw her and? made a
pet of her. She rode her frequent! r,
and fed her daily with sweet -moats.
WThen James G. Blaine was in London
he saw Queen named for Queen Vic
toria. On his return to this country he
told Adam Forepaugh to get the ele
phant for his show. He did so, and
this was the beginning of Queen's
career in America. William Wor thing
ton was her first trainer. He and
Queen were great friends. She mani
fested her affection for him in many
ways. During (his final iillness she was
taken often to see him, when he die!
sheplaced the earth on his coffin, with
her trunk. Mr. Worthington was Juri
ed in Canton, Ohio. ;i J
THE GENUINE ARTICLE;1 ;
Those who have thought they were
seeing the real couchee-couchee, have
not, it seems. The Elks committee
thought best not to allow it until the
last night. It will be given tonight,
for the first time.
