It was the biggest fire Charlotte has had since the big cotton fire of 1875. Parties in Concord saw the smoke rising from the big fire e distance of 21 miles. The fire originated in the building used for the wholesale department of Brown & Weddington. And from this it spread until about a dozen build ngs and contents were totally or partially destroyed. The large wall of the building where the fire originated,fallmg, damaged the rear ends of the buildings facing on Trade Btreet. It was with great dif ficulty that these were saved.

These negroes have been warned by the hotel proprietors and by the city authorities both not to sit around on the front of the hotel building, but they heeded not their warning and as a result seyeral of them are wiring stripes on their faces and elsewhere. It is a great pity that our city has not the proper vagrant law, that these young indo lent boyj might learn that, it is not healthy to be idle and hang around on the street as they do.

C, says: This morning ot 9 o'cloc :, in the store of Hammond G Company, at this place, B L Jones shot and killed John C Swearmgen. About three months ago Jones indicled Sweinngen for obstructing a public road that led through the former's place and Swearingen was tried and convicted at the last term of court of the offence. It uen-s that soon after the obstruction of tbe road the rails used io forming the obstruction were burned, and Swear- ingen claimed that Jones's son did the burning, while Jones alleged that Swearingen was the guilty party. This among other causes brought on bad blood between the parties. A few days ago Swearingen caueed the arrest of a negro and lodged him in jail, claiming that he could substantiate the charge against young Jones by the negroes testi mony. Jones bailed the negro out This morning Swearingen came to town to see about the matter, and, as the testimony of the coroner's in vestigation discloses, on entering the store was asked by young Jones if he (Swearingen) had said he burnt the rails, and if he did, it was false. Other words passed between young Jones and the deceased, dur ing which ti ne Mr. B L Jones came in and told Swearingen if he desired to talk to any one to talk to him. Swearingen threw his hands on his hip pockets, at which time both parties drew pistols and commenced firing. The witnesses could not say who shot first. Immediately after the firing Swearingen fell to the floor and died in twenty minutes The ball that killed him -entered ati8 the State Treasurer the upper margin of the right ear, penetrating the posterior portion of the brain. Jones was not hit. The verdict of the jury was in accordance with the above fac.ts. Mr. Jones suriendered and is now in jail.
