CHARLOTTE NEWS. SEPTEMBER 8. 1903. R. A Few Minutes With The corder The police worked a presto, change, racket on the Temple audience this morning. Yesterday morning two rows of shiny black faces and kinky heads were lined up on the mourners bench; today the mourners were all white. Here's the record: J. P. Perry, a boiler-maker by trade, who hails from Raleigh, got full of hocze and mistook the gospel tent on South Church street for a hotel. The colored man who has charge of the tent tried to induce Pery to leave, but he refused to budge. The court charg ed him $ and costs for his lodging. .1. A. Ferris was arrested by Officer Yanrlle for indecent exposure. He plead guilty to the offense and was fined $2.50 and costs. Frank Shoemaker, for a similar vio lation of the law, was arrested by Mr. Duke. He got off with $2 and costs. V. A. Thornton went to sleep in a Tryon street drug store and the pro prietors had to call on the police to remove him. He was pretty full and iicknowledged it. He was fined $2 and costs. Y. D. Allen, an employe of the Ging liam mill, got one drink too many last night and started a cussin' bee that startled the natives. He was fined $2.50 and costs. Minnie Grier and Maggie Orr, both colored, plead guilty to an affray. Maggie saw Minnie walking with a fel low both claimed and she began to do battle with rocks, a proceeding which Minnie returned with interest. There weie no fatalities, though Minnie did get a keepsake in the shape of a cut on the nose. Both plead guilty and the Recorder fined Maggie $3 and let Minnie eff with costs. Lee Pharr got on a little to much booze, which he frankly admitted, and he also said he was steering for home when Officer Hunter arrested him. He was discharged upon payment of costs. Jane Caldwell was back again this morning on a charge of disorderly con duct. Will Eggleston, who was the complainant in the case, declared that Jane drew a razor on him and tried to cut him. A half-dozen witnesses, who were present, denied Eggleston's story, declaring that Jane had no razor. It looked very much l'ke Eggleston "had it in" for Jane and he was required to pay the costs. The desk sergeant will make a large red mark on the register in rnemoriam of Jan's first acquittal. Music is next Saturday night when his latest success will obtain its first local representation. He is careful of all de tails but it is said that one of the comedians particular hobboic-s is the millinery of his plays. This includes all the dressing of the ladies in his casts. "The Man from Missouri" is a play of Washington and there is a long list of ladies in the company. These ladies have created quite a sensation with their remarkably handsome dressing. Their characters permit of many changes of dresses and that all dresses be representative of the very latest thing in style. At the head of the fairer portion of his cast Mr. Murphy again has winsome Dorothy Sherrod. "Pickings from Puck," the latest musical comedy hit of the season, with its all sta - cast and beautifully mount ed production has been booked for the toming season at the theatre. Mr. Willard Simms, the talented musical comedian with both an American and European reputation has been special ly engaged by Messrs. Ollie Mack and Joseph M. Gaites to appear in the lead ing role as Sam Flinders. The com pany appears at the Academy Friday night.

Fountain, of Rocky Mount, is a natural born genius. He has in vented a railroad automobile, fitted up with a two and half horse power gaso line engine, cn a special car made by him that will run 20 miles an hour, up and down grade. I had the pleas ure of riding, in company with Law yer Thorne. Messrs. Jones, Fountain and son. and Captain S. K. Fountain from Rocky Mount to Nashville Wed nesday morning. We started ahead of the Nashville train and beat it there by three quarters of an hour. We had such a pleasant time and rode so fast the conductor didn't take up any tickets. Mr. Fountain's invention could be used to an advantage on street cars, by doing away with the electric power and thus make the cost of equipping and operating street cars much less. We hope to see Mr. Fountain push his invention on a nice street car line from South Rocky Mount to The Falls in Rocky Mount Wilson Times. Mr Ollie Suggs, who has ben em ployed by the C. F. and N.

T It is clear that the death and injury of the engineer, firemen and passen gers at the horrible accident at Pishing Creek on the Southern Railway was due to criminal negligence. The York ville (S. C.) correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier, who was on the scene, wires that paper thus: 'This correspondent made" a special examination of the timbers or tne trestle and found that every piece, ex cept where there was a strip of heart, was rotten and had apparently been so for years. Scores of pieces, apparently sixten inches square, had been broken in two by the fall, and the breaks were of the same character as the result in breaking a corn stalk." Miss Alice M. Smith, of So. Minneapolis, Minn., tells how woman's monthly suffering is permanently relieved by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. " I have never before given my en dorsement for any medicine, but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has added so much, to my life and happiness that I feel like mak ing1 an exception in this case. For two 3?ears every month.

The duties of a German chamber of commerce are to further by every means at its command the commercial and industrial interests of the district in which it is situated. It takes the initiative in examinng any new enter prse which may materially benefit thv district: it actively interests itself in the building of new railways, canals and steamship lines and in the estab lishment of commercial museums or sample rooms, and studies w&ys and means of getting the same as alvan tageously as possible before the com mercial world. The furtherance of technical education is one of the prime features of German chamber of com merce activity. A deep interest is taken in the welfare ot apprentices, and much is done to elevate their mor als and habits. The Comptroller General of Georgia listed the franchise of the Seaboard Air Line Railway in Georgia at $3,997,991 and the arbitrators cut it down to $1, 250,000. He listed tht Southern at $6, 584,297 and the arbitrators cut it down to $1,650,600. This will involve a de ficit of $100,000 to the State Treasury, The Atlanta News has a manly and vigorous editorial protesting against the sham asessment and calls upon the Governor to call a special session of the Legislature to remedy the wrrong. It closes by saying: "We congratulate Vice President Andrews, of the Southern, upon the magnificent victory he has won before the franchise boards. If the entire matter had ben left in his hands, he would not have done more for the rail roads than the service rendered by the umpires yesterday.' TRAGEDY AVERTED.

Certainly Not the Kind Greensboro Is Dispensing. The Greensboro Record prints the following: Here's a story that comes to the Record from a policeman of the city who says he had it fresh from the mouths of an engineer and a fireman, This morning soon after 4 o clock a shifting engine was pushing a flat car in front, coming along near the coal chute. The engineer said he saw an obstruction on the rail in front of him and was sure it wras the body of a man He was moving slowly and at once re versed his engine and stopped. The fire man got down and exploring with his lantern, found that the front wheel of the rear truck had run over the body o a man and that it was so wedged between the wheels that it could not be removed. It was deter mined, then, to shove the car for war a a few inches so that the body could be taken out, but to do this it was neces sary to run the other wheel over it. However, was the man not dead any way, and where was the harm? Gent ly, as if lowering a corpse into a grave, the engineer opened the throt tle of his engine and moved forward bout a foot. Before any one could take hold of the body the man sud denly hopped up and ran, remarking "Didn't touch me!" The fireman faint ed and the engineer jumped from his cab quicker than if he was about to butt into another train. While staring at each other, the fireman having "come to," another man walked around the flat car and asked what in thunder they meant by running a train over the toe of his shoe. And there he stood a shoe in his hand, minus the tee. ! There were two men, one on either side of the track. The fireman de clares that the front wheel of the front truck had pased squarely over the middle of the body of the man he saw and that he would have sworn he was dead, even before the car was pushed forward causing the second wheel to pass over it. But the eye is deceitful, or was in this instance. It was afterwards ascertained that both men they were negroes work ed for the railway company and were from Charlotte. The crematory statistics of the Euro pean countries last year, as reported to the State department by Consul uuen ther, at Frankfort , credit Germany with 856 while England has a little over half that number 452. Italy, Sweden and Denmark show a moderate record; while France scores up the large number of 4,805, all of them, ex cept 305, which were privately paid for, being at the public expense, ine cremations in the United States for the same period wrere 3,158.
