Mr. Linker suffered a stroke of

Dropsy entered his system as a fatal
complication to which nature could
famish no resistance.
He l.-aves a wife and several

bis theme "His Satanio Majesty."
He is an eloquent man, and painted
the arch-fiend in vivid colors.
At the climax of the deecripetion,
a being, dressed to represent the
devil, with large head and switch

bellowing, "I am tbe devil and I
want all of you." .
The audience became panic-
stricken. Men women and chil
dren were hurled to the floor, and
raciSpled opon in a mad rush for
the door. In the confusion the
stove was upset, and the building
caught fire. Before the horrified
members had regained their senses
the fire made such headway thai
all attempts to save theclurcb
were in vain.
This morning, George Akin, eon
of the pastor, confessed that he,

his car would be in tins ci'y on
Monday, Jan. 31st, and it la boprd
that a large crowd will torn out to
see this enterprise, which is compli

The following Is one of the com
ing styles for ladies as taken from
the Philadelphia Times : "An E .st
ern newspaper avers that tbe very,
very latest thing is to have a pune
made of the same materials as tl
street dress. And, not only that,
but the purse must be mounted with
a gold clasp, and have the initials of
tbe owner in gold letters upm it
Another possibility wbich it is
whispered may decend upon as in
fact is to have walking shoes m ule
in dyed leather to match the walk
ingcostume. This is a pretty fancy,
at all events, and has probably come
about from the tremendous and uni
versal success of the tan shoe, which
is so much softer and prettier than
black."

When it comes to cotton mills
Concord is always in line. We thick
that we are doing a big business in
that line now, but still auoth-r one
is being talked, and It is not with
out foundation. For some time
there has been talk of a cotton mill
being put np by the Messrs. Lip
pard, and this is the one that is be
ing talked of now. One of tie
hings yet to be found out befoie
taking steps to build it, is getting a
suitable site. The lot on the other
side of the road from tbe Cabarrus
Roller Mill, and which ia owned by
Mr. Joel Reed, is tbe lot wanted, but
the trade is not yet made. The mill,
if built, will be composed of about
$35,000 worth of stock.
It is hop-d that these plans for
another mill in our city will not be
blighted and that when summer
comes the erection, of the mill will
begin.

For some time in tbe past differ
ent articles have been miFsed from
tbe store now occupied by Littles &

shoes were mised, and lust week a
ham was taken from in front of the
store and a pair of pan ta and another
pair of shoes from in tbe store. The
last pair of Bboes taken happened
to belong to Mr. Dick individually.
Nothing had bsen said scarcely
about the matter, but on Wednes
day night a negro boy came in the
stoie with the pants on, and hap
pened to be the very person that
was suspicioaed of taking the arti
cles, it was n negro ooy about j.j
years old, named Sam Ellis, and
wbo delivered goods from the store.
Nothing has been done with him
yet. Messrs. Littles & Dick are con

STOKES LODGE
Of Ancient, Free nnd Accepted Ma
aonii When Oriranixo anil Nome I n
tereHtlnv Thing About It.
Desiring to always mte the prog
ress of our town, and desiring tn
give our readers somethin; more in
teresting than the every. day hap
penings on tbe streets, w have
decided thjt cue of tbe most pro
gressive things of oar tuwn, and one
that ib not much noticed by the peo
ple, is tb growth of our different
secret organizations. We further
more wish to say that eyery one of
tbe 'organizations will have a write
up and we will be glad for tome one
to give us tbe desired news In ord. r
that one can have as much as the
other, though some of the orders
could i.ot exiejtus mach as the
others. Furthermore, in order that
we can not be secured of partiality,
we intend taking them in the order
thit they were organized in our
town, and will give a sketch every
other1 day in our Daily.
In orJer of organisation, Stokes
Lodge of Ancient, Free and Ao
cepted Mtsms comes at the head of
the Hit, bavins: been the first organ
ize land was also the thirty-second
lodge organized in the State. This
order worked under a dispensation
from Jan. 15, 1850, until Deo. 6th,
1850,' the date on which the charter
was granted. The three men whom
we notice the charter was handed
down to were Dankl Coleman,
Master; Iwbt. S Young, father of
oar townsman, Dr. R S Young,
Senior Warden ; Wm. F Phifer,
Junior Warden. We find the char,
ter, which is being carefully pre
served, signed by A T Jerkins, who
was then Master of the State Lodge
and Wm. T Eam, Grand Secretary.
The Lodge is now in as flourish
ing condition as it has been in some
time und now numbers fifty memb
ers. Tbe motto of this Lodge is
tbe "Fatherhood of God and the
Brotherhood of Man."
Among tbe prominent members
of this Lodge we notice the names of
tbe fathers of some of our prominent
men now with us. We see tbe name
of Capt. Jno, McDonald, father of
Capt. Chas. McDonald; Dr. K P
Harris, father of Mr. R S Harris;
Mej. A J Yorke, father of Messrs.
NF, A J and J F Yorke; Dr. LS
Bingham, father of Mr. Will Bing
ham, snd Dr. G G Smith, father of
Mr. Frank Smith.
In regard to tbe care of each
otter, the tenets of this organization
are brotherly love, relief and truth,
and none but a Mason' knows tbe
full mraning of these words. In
case of death among any of their
members, the body is taken in hand
by the Lodge and buried with the
Masonic honors. This Lodge has
not had many deaths for tbe last
several years only two being num
b red for some time. These two
were Mr. Jno. Fink and Mr. Willie
Quantz.
Among the older members tLat are
still on the list of active members,
we note tbe names of Messrs. J II C
Burkhead, Capt. J M Alexander and
Dinson A Caldwell. Asa secret or.
ganlzation, we suppose the outside
world knows less about the work
ings pf tbis organization than of any
in our city.
Another thing of interest in re
eard to tbe Masons of our city, is
tbe fict that Mr. Dinson A Cald
well hes bien in the Ma'onio work
ocger than any one in our town
and also that E quire R W Allison,
the oldest citizen we have, is
member of tbe Masonic Order.
Incomplete would our write-up be
without mentioning tbe fact tba'
the Maious b:re contribute liberally
each year to tbe Oxfoid Orphan Asy
lum, wbich we must admit, origi.
noted in the minds of tbe Ma on a.
Tbis Lodge meets every Monday,
on or before each full moon, in their
rooma over tbe City Hall, and the
officers are as follows : Jas. O Fink,
Master; M C Walter, Senior Ward
en ; M L Moors, Jutior Warden ; H
A Brower, Secretary ; J M Alexan
der, Treaturer; O D Robbins, Senior
Deacon ; II W Tucker, Junior Dea
non; D A Caldwell, Tyler. The
present Master, Mr. Jas. O Fink,
has held bis present position for
neirly four years.
Through the kindness of Mr. Jas.
C Fink, we have obtained the above
points on JUtonry. We will now
thank tbe Odd Fellows of this city
very much if they will come to the
front next.

MEETS DEATH
Bj Ilia Own Hand A Popular Toon
Man Nad Blow to the Commnmiy.
By telephone today we learn of
sad Lffair at N. wells S'ution,
young man named Mr. Jackson M
Cald t 11 baying met death by his
own hand. Ihe circumstances at
as folio )ps : There having been
party ia tbe town last night be was
out until about 12 o clock, and
oeing a little late, he decided to ac
company Mr. Farrow, a young man
wbo clerks for Messrs. Newell &
Wallace, to tbe store aud sleep with
him. After rising tbis morning at
about 6 30 o dock, he walked dow
stairs to get an apple and came back
loiding a 32 calibre pistol. Afier
sittirg down he told his friend, Mr,
Farrow, that be was tired of bis life
i t-i: J u u -j - '
anu utjiieyeu ao wuuiu enu It, lm
mediately putting the pistol to his
bead. 1 be pis ol snapped twice and
by this time Mr. Farrow had lamp
ed out of bed and ran to him and
seized him. Mr. Caldwell being
much tbe stronger, be succeeded iu
getting tbe revolver to bis head and
fired, killing him instantly, the bul
let entering his head at the right
temple, about one inch from tbe
ear. Just before the pistol went off
be was beard to say tbe words
'Good-bye"
Mr. Caldwell was 27 years of
age and is , from a most excellent
family, and was in good circum.
stances. It is indeed a sad blow to
the community to lose a young
man wbo was liked as well as th;
one. tie leaves only a mother In
the family, his only sister, Mrs.
Morris McDonald, of Charlotte
having died some months ago.
The circumstances being so plain
no inquest was held, and the body
was taken to the home of bis
mother, wbich is only a short dis
cance on this side of Newellg.
Tbe rem tins will be taken to
Charlotte and tbe funeral services
will be held at 13 o'clock tomor

long ago. tie is now in the hands
of tbe law and will be brought
here to stand bis trial. Several
days ago Sheriff Buchanan informed
bTANDARD reporter that they
were going to try once more to
capture Jim if there was any pos
sible cbance, but in spite of the
faot that Deputy Will Propst and
Jailer Hill lay in hiding all night
for him, they came back empty
handed. Tbe negro is wanted in
several cases for retailing, and also
for disposing of mortgaged prop
erty.
But today (Friday) Sheriff Buc
hanan received tbe following tele
gram from one named F C Good
man:

Sheriff Buchanan: Any reward

stealing cotton. FO Goodman
To this telegram Sheriff Bucban
an replied that there was no re

For the coming term of court we
find there are three cases against tbe
Southern Railway Company, wbich
are as follows: The case of Whitley,
in which heissueing for damages,
H B Parks, sueing for damage?, and
D C Bonds, the case in which Mrs.
Bonds was killed on the side-track
near Cannon factory about a year
ago. Tbe latter suit is entered into
by tbe son of the woman killed.
It is reported considerably that
there is a case in the court in re
gard to tbe killing of Mr. William
Smith, but no such case is recorded
on the docket.

Which side do you chew on ? It
is said that the natural habit of hu
man beings appears to be tbe use of
tbe teeih on the left side of tbe
mouth for masticating the food
During a lengthened period of ob
servation only one parson oat of
thirteen was found who used both
sides of his mouth for chewing and
masticating his food. Ex.
If you have a jerky tooth you
chew on the other side
A singular instance showing how
great reforms grow out of the very
smallest conceivable incidents is that
in New Yoik under tbe late Mayor
Strong, who effected the purification
of milk sold on the market from an
appealing letter by a poor woman
asking him to please see to it that
tbe milk she bought for her baby
was real milk, so that her baby
would drink what would brine life
and not death.
