Among the festivals celebrated by the Lutheran church during the year is that of the Haryest Home. At St. James Lutheran church, Sundav, the pulpit, chancel, the altar and in fact the entire pulpit recess was decorated with every kind of fruit, vegetable and grain known to this section. Among them all, here and there tbe house and yard flower added beauty to the yery tasty ar rangement. TheBe samples of the soil's yield were arranged according to designs by Mrs. M O G Scherer. In the background stood an arch on which were the words made of red-and yellow corn: "Our ftaily Bread." On the cross arm of the arch were the worV- made of shelled beans: "Haryest Home." From this, as a start, the decorations began and grew in numbers and size nntil the scene appeared 83 a little world with in itself. The effect was very pretty and was indeed inspiration to be very thankful for the many bless ings coming from the divine band. Tbe music was appropriate and well rendered. The pastor's prayer, fu'l of praise and thanksgiving, to gether with real evidences of abun dance piled up here and there, pre pared the large congregation present for an appropriate, beautifully worded and thoughtful . discourse, delivered with great effect by the pastor, the v.

ChaNing to the Standard With. Open Cotton Bolls. Early this (Monday) morning Sam Partee, an old colored man of tbe community, who i3 cropping for Mr. Andy Winecoff, brought us an open boll ot new cotton, requesting us to "put it in tbe paper." Sam is an industrious negro, and is the first man to show up a new pod of the fleecy Btaple. Mr. J D Cline, one of the beet young farmers of No. 8 township, brought ua in an open boll of cot ton. He came in a few minutes after the old colored man brought in hia. Mr. Luther Ridtnhour, his neighbor, and another good farmer, expected to bring one to town today (Monday).

KerlotiH Accident at a Convict Camp One Man has an Eye Knot Out and a Six Foot Drill Driven Through Ills Arm. The premature explosion of a dy namite blast at Superintendent L't tle's camp on the Yorkville road, yesterday afternoon, seriously injured a convict named Robert Johnston. Johnston's left eye was shot full of gravel and the eye Bight destroyed; the skin on his forehead was torn off and a steel drill, six feet Jong, but of slendeY circumference, was driven through the muscles of his left arm, tearing a great hole through the flesh, but not injuring the bone. The accident occurred about sun down. Johnston was tamping a dyramite cartride in a deep hole in a rock that was- in tbe road. Super intendent Li'tle was standing by watching the work. " The tamping was being done with a steel drill. Johnston was holding the drill in his left hand and plying the hammer with his right hand. At one par ticular lick, hammer, drill and dar key went up in the air and frag ments of the shattered rock were strewn around. Mr. Little was not injured. The head of the drill was battered and ragged from constant hammering, and it tore the negro's arm in a shocking manner, marly all the muscle being torn away. Dr. Wilder, the county physician dressed Johnston's wounds. He will recover, but his left arm will be useless and his left eye will be blined. A spark from the steel drill is believed to have caused the explosion. Congratulations to Concord. The people of Concord are trying to get the Southern Railroad Com pany to build a branch line from the depot to the fair grounds, a distance of a little oyer a mile, and they are the more anxious to haye it done be cause if the road is built, two cotton factories will be built also. The matter it seems, has been left in the hands of Capt. W B Ryder, the Southern's popular representative at Charlotte, and he was in Concord yesterday to look into the matter. The Standard is moved to say : "Concord was glad to have this thorough business man, who is in such close touch with the successful and prosperous career of the great Southern to spend some time in the city and that he is to return to make a complete look-over the grounds fhere the switch is proposed to be run, is quite an encouragement to those direcly interested in "par ticular and to us all in general." If Capt. Ryder has authority to act in the matter Ccncord will haye reason to hope that it will get just what it wants. There is not a man connected with the Southern so quick to grasp the merits of any re quest made upon the Southern for mutual betterment, and unless there is some unforsseen obstacle in the way, they will get what they want. Capt, Ryder, among other things, is noted for hia knack of always doing what is right. Charlotte New s. Death of Esq. J. O. Wltherspoon.

It went from oad to worse until the vital strength of oar friend, popular with and es teemed by all, perished and death came to him Monday between 11 and 12 o'clock. It is a shock to the neighborhood aud to the many who knew him and admired him. His death is a loss to No. 8, to the county, Though not over 35 he was developing into a fine business man, of fine taste and splendid judgement A bright and promising future was tefore him, but it was willed otherwise, for death hath an end to this good man's earthly career except the never-dying influences of the good deeds and the excellent example, that characterized his - life these will live on.

V: ; : CHAS. GRAHAM ESCAPES. i'icked the Lock With a Bucket Han lle Coons Down a Newer Pipe 85 Feet-A Mean Negro. Jailor Hill hasn't bn' one boarder. Saturday night Charles Graham, tbe negro who carvpd up another a x few weeks ago on East Depot street, and whom Chief Buger capiured iu Charlotte l-at etk, made his es cape Saturday night some time after midnight. He was in an iron cage; the door is iron and lacked with a padlock. Graham bad nothing in his room but a spoon, a pan and a water bucket. The spoon handle was fonnd mashed. The handle of the bucket was torn off and bent np a little. This he used in picking the lock. There is a hole in the door for passing in mea s and through this he used his buckeUhandle key on the padlock. , From there he unlocked a similar lock and went up into the garret; there he tore ont a slat window. On the outside near the window a 4 inch sewer pipe runs down the wall, He cooned down Uis pipe a distance of 35 feet a risky and dangerous feat unwitnessed and without charge. Jailer Hill ia by no means respon sible. It was not carelessness. It was the shrewd, smart act of a very mean negro. Mr. Hill brought in the lock and the bucket-handle key and it works "like a charm' even as good aa the real key. It is hard to keep prisoners in jail. It is hard t the jailer to keep them as well at be dos. . Green WtddiagTn, the only other prisoner in jail, selected to go, too, but the key weald not work on the lock to his ie. A NBtRO MURDERER.

The negro Llojd shot the deceased through the body, killing him al most instantlv, nod shot In in twice through the be d after he was ap parently dead. Hd also, shot and broke the arm of a young man named Hought at the same time. He made good his escape and started towards Charlotte. The following officers at once set out to catch him : J J Bowers, Jack Crow and iietd Williams, of Ker shaw, S. C, and W T Keith, John Shepherd and Frank Wesley, of Monroe, The former two reached Concora Monday evening; two others came in from Monroe, having left there early Monday morning. The following from the Monroe correspondent of the Charlotte Ob server explains it all : "Two officers started, here and arrived Sunday afternoon. By a strange coincidence they met np with the desperado at the high school building and tried to et him, but he ran and, as there were feveral persons in the way, they could notsheot till he was some dis tance away when they shot tour times at him as he fled. He turned and shot twice at them and made his escape. A crowd was organized and went in pursuit at once and was close on him several times last Eight but did not get him. He waa arrested this morning fifteen miles north of here by Deputy John Griffin and Mr. Cleyburn. Thev disarmed him and tied his arms above his elbows and behind him. Thsy slatted here, and when they reached Stewart'a Fork, three miles from liere, they all three got out of tht baggy. The horse be'eame frighteai and started, to run, OUybora grabbed the horse and was trying to hold him, The prisoner Umk adrantsge of this and in some mysterious manner instant ly got untied and knocked Griffin down, He aroge in a instant, but as he did bo the negro " took the pistol and knocked him down again. As he got up this time the pistol was pointed to his breast, but he knocked it fifteen feet to one side before tbe prisoner could shoot. He was knocked down the tbird time by the desperadc. It waB all done iu a fraction of a minute and the crimi nal ran. Mr. Griffia had bis pistol oy this time and shot twice at tbe negro, Tne ifllcer was badly bruised and a pose ot abou fifty went and caught the murderer in the woods about a quarter of a mile from there. He waa wounded but many ahota were fired before he waa taken. He baa seyeral shot in him but none of the wounds are serious. He is in jail awaiting word from the authori ties in Sjulh Carolina-.

A Full Fruit Cop It IMstllliuic Is Stopped Miss Fislier Accepts a Position at Von Bora Seminary fc.OOO to 10,000 Bashels oi Wheat Threshed r, Rarnhardt to Locate - There, Mt. Pheasant, August 27. A cry for more money may betoken an impoverished condition of the mass es, but had the cry, which has been heard for many mnn'hs, been for food, cur condition would be serious indeed. We ought to be thankful that a money famine and food fam ine have not come upon us at once. A fair crop of fruit will Jbe added to the food supply tor another year With us it is being dried and pre served, for the German and their descendanta are fond of "smts and dumplings." Much of the fruit ie being distilled in different parts of the county, but that is always doLe when it is 'plentiful. This may be the cau e of tbe frequent destruction of tbe fruit. In fact some men be lieve so; for we heard a m'nis e once declare from the pulpit that he would guarantee that fruit would be plentiful every year if the people would desist from making brandy. Mins Sallie Fisher, of this place, will leave in a few dajs for Virginia, having accepted a poaition in Van Bora Female seminary, Mr. E Grant Buchanan came down Saturday evening to spend a few days with hia brother.

About the thriftiest scene in or near tke city is the work going on at the Cannon factoay, not particu larly on the new factory building, but everything in general. Esquire McAllister and Contract Or Brown are rushing the brick work right along. Carpenters began this (Tuejday) afternoon to place the krge sills in the main building of the new addition, while the masons were laying the founda tion to the large picker room, Contrac'or Caldwell is in the push also, and is as busy as can be, al though he was discommoded a little by not getting his cement. J L Miller lay the foundation for another new cottage on Towder street this morning, while his force of hands are about to complete one near by. The extension of the sidetrack, which runs some distance above the old mill and to where the engine room to the new mill will be is, complete, which makes everything quite conveniont to remove the large timbers from the cars. On to the north of the Cannon mills seyeral hundred yards can be seen very conspicuou&ly a number of new brick houses in course of erection at the Buffalo mill. A gentleman, a very prominent and wealthy citizen of Atlanta, who was in company with the reporter, remarked: "Your little city is not a dead one by any means; ia all parts building is going on and everybody is as busy aa can be. It is far ahead of any town I know of on my route." Col. Barnhardt Paralyzed. Several days ago Col. Jacob Barn hardt, of Pioneer Mills, this county, suffered a slight stroke of paralysis. In a few days Col. and Mrs. Barn hardt will break np housekeeping and live in Charlotte. The (Salisbury Kaclnir Association. It is a myth. There is no such an organization. The president John C Montclair, claimed to be a New York man, is none other than Ike Fraley. He's the man that did it all. It was said that there were purses of $2000. This brought many fine horses. It was found ont that there was no money and no associa tionnothing but Mr. Ike Fraley. There is indignation againBt him. The town people of Salisbury have arranged to have the races after all.

Some fine racing was bad at tbe fair grounds yesterday afternoon. Quite an aggregation of the best racers in the State and seyeral from ontside the state were here. PromN nent among the horsemen who had stock on the gronnds were L Banks Holt, of Alamance county; Capt. W H Frazier, of Ninety-Six, S. C, and .Mr. Eogel King, of Washington, D. C. Greensboro, isheyille, Derita and Beidsville were represented. The Salisbury Eating Association, which as noted in a squib in yester day's Standard, turned out to be a fake, had by the liberal purses offered attracted this array of tine horses to Salisbury, The discovery of the fraud caused considerable! citement among the horsemen who had been dnped into coming here, and an explanation waa asked for. Mr. W T Johnson, secretary, was the only man present who, it ap peared, knew anything about the matter. On being interrogated closely he stated that there waa no such man as Mr. John C Montclair, who was represented as president of the association. He afterwards said that Mr. Fraley was Montclair. Johnson skipped, leaving bis board bill of about $20 and other bills unB paid, his trunk being levied on for his board. Mr. Fraley disclaimed through the Daily Herald yesterday afternoon any knowledge of or com nection with the association, stating that he had also been imposed upon. There will be racing again this after noon. Mr.Kherrill Chase A Man.

Now that "dog days" have come and gone takes a weight from the . a hearts of the superstitious, who havef been sitting idly by and letting the delicious fruit rot for fear if it wa put np during dog days that they would lose it. Several parties who have' been industriously laboring to preserve their fruit, have lost a great quantity, the loss of which is attributed to dog days. "Dog days" began just seven weeks ago Tuesday, on the 9 th day of July, and ended August 27. There' is no danger now of fruit spoiling, so the story goes. ' Lynched if lui. Iiev. Daniel A Long, president of Antioch College, Ohio, took the train here this morning in response to startling intelligence just received.- Miss Grace Freedland, an assistant piofessor in Antioch College, had been conveyed by her father, an old and wealthy farmer, to visit a neighbor; the old gentleman was re turning home unattended, and at a certain point on the way he waa as. sanlted by a colored man and choked to death.
