Melchor. of Mooresville. who was here Monday, told us that Tk.T : MV J fj'' ,! . , .jjiuoreHviiio was consiaeraDiy excitea ast Saturday night and Sunday. Wash Nance colored, a barn-burner, was either lynched by a party of men Sat urday night or driven out of the county. No one yet seems to know which it is. Our readers will remember that on Monday night, 5th inst, the barn of Capt. J. A. Harris, two miles from Mooresville, was burned, involving the loss of a mule, a horse, five head of cattle and a quantity of roughness representing in all value of $1,000, upon which there was $400 insurance. It is said that the bellowing of the cattle could be heard for some distance as the flames came upon them 1 and until death relieved their suffering. Suspicion rested on Wash Nance, a negro, years old who lived near Mr. Harris' barn. Mr. Harris had J told Nance he could not work on the place next year." Nance is reported to have been heard to say 6ince that' Capt Harris would be sorry for this, and the night of the fire this negro did not go to render aid, though the -other mem bers of the family did. ; f . - On Saturday night Mr. G. O. Corne lius, accompanied by Mr. Ed. Brawley, went to Nance s house about two miles from Mooresville to arrest bin?.-' The negro was found after considerable search," hidden between two feather beds. He was pulled out. . and . his captors started to Mooresville with him," They had gone only a Short distance when a crowd of . about -.20 m-en net them, threw a -rope over Nance's head, pulled him from the buggy and spirited bun away. The place was lonely and dark just the placefor such work. All day Sunday crowds were- busy looking for the body of the negro, as it was supposed he had been lynched. His body, however, could not be found, and has not yet been found. It is very probable tnat tne crowd gave JNance a good beating, and made him leave the county. His hat and vest were found, but nothing else. . ; - In the same lonely spot where the negro was taken irom - tne omcers. Mr. Neil Kestler was shot at one night last week by some unknown person The ball went through : both his coat and overcoat. It was a narrow escape. New Hardware Store.

Woodside. .formerly of Concord, who is ' now courier to MajortGeneral Greene in Havana, last week wrote to his little daughter here a most interesting letter from Havana,-! irom which we have been permitted to make the following extracts, which will be highly interesting to our readers : Havana is a city of 300,000 inhabi tants and. is the dirtiest place I ever saw. The United. States has 500 men at" work ..on the ; streets cleaning ud. The stars, and stripes will go up over El Moro.soon and then things will be different . ; The Spanish soldiers are leaving on transports every day. Yesterday 17,000 embarked. . , . You. haye seen, pictures of Spanish senoritas behind - barred windows. That's .the way it is, here. All the houses are built of stone and every window is barred like a jail. Some of the girls are awfully pretty, with their black hair and eyes, and they all speak to ns eyery time we pass. They can't say anything in English except good morning, and they will say that to us at 10 o clock at night - This is the most beautiful country I eyer saw and the land the richest. You can grow anything here, but the people will have to be . educated; they, are at east 500 years behind the times; they have no modern farming, implements of any kind. But bur country will soon overcome that. There are a great many Americans here now looking for in vestments. This is surely the coming country, if yellow fever can be stamped out ' -: Our troops will begin to arrive in a few days, and the boys will see some sights they never dreamed of. I walk around the streets every night and can count hundreds of poor people lying in doorways and on the sidewalks, with no where else to sleep men, women and ittle children. The American papers have never told the half about the suf fering in Havana. You can- stand in front of the Inglaterra hotel and be.ac costed a thousand times adav by men, Women and little children begging for a penny, and God knows they look as if they needed- it Poor, emaciated, they look tod weak-to stand on their feet' - ' ." -' I passed the Christobal Colon ceme tery tcrday, and there I: saw a pile of bones and kulls of reconcentrados who died-during the blockade and were not buried just thrown in a heap for the buzzarda to eat. There must have been ten tons of bones. The other day I saw a hospital wagon drive to the cemetery and throw four dead men in a hole and cover them up just like burying dead hogs no cere mony whatever. : Yesterday I saw eleven corpses on the way to the cem etery, only two of which were in hearses. The others were carried on the head and shoulders if their friends; and tben if they have no money or friends .to dig a grave, the corpse is placed on the ground and simply covered over with a pile of earth.. '. You should see the teams. Large carts ,a're drawn by mules no larger than a donkey;, and vwhat loads they put on one poor little brute as much as we put on one - of our wagons with four large American , mules to pull it They have no mercy on animals at all, but they are the most polite people on earth. The camp' for the troops will be ten miles from Havana, at Mariano, on a high plain overlooking the ea, and a very pretty and healthy place, with plenty of good water .-' .', You should see the Cuban soldiers, and then you could imagine what they have suffered in their struggle for free dom. Ragged and hungry only half tells the story; but the United States now has hundreds of them at .work and will employ more of them as they are needed. ; r '' The weather here is about like May is at home, only a little warmer in the middle of the day.

We went down a few days since and were surprised . to find the building enclosed and 1 the roof on. When finished it- will be a handsome building, and Concord J will at last have what she needs. - -. The building is situated on this side of the railroad track, just south of the crossing. It is divided into three com partments, a waiting room ' for white people. One for colored people; and. a ticket and telegraph' office between the two. . The entire building is 21x70 feet long, and each waiting room is 21x29 feet . This, we think,; is quite large enough. ! ... - ' ' . ; ;-..' The material used in the building is the very best, and the covering is slate. There will be a cement walk all around the depot The roof of the building extends " six feet from the waits' all around.''- ? The side track between the depot and the main track will be taken np, so that there will be no track between the j sta tions and the waiting passenger trains. The number of side tracks will be in creased, rendering the handling of freight trains easier. . On behalf of the peopleof Concord we heartily thank the Southern authors ties; through their gentlemanly and courteous agent Mr. Gowan Dusenbery, for the excellent accommodations they are preparing to give, us in the near future. : j - ' : ; , :i t Death of Mr. J.
