Attempt to Wreck Train
ltst night a dastardly nllempl
was made to w reck Xo. ,'tS, one of
the Southern's vcstihulctl trains,
just outside the city limits of Char
lotte. A switch near the new mill
Is'iug erected by the Highland
Pink Manufacturing Coaipitny, mils
the scene chosen for the awful wt rk
of destruction. llie lock was
broken and the switch opened, lif
ter which the light wasc xtiugiiish
ed.
One of the nortlibnrd through
freigh train, No. 72, was running
aheud of Xo. UH and ran into the
oiien switch. As soon as the eu
giiiccr found that he hud left the
main line, he reversed the engine
and applied the breaks. Owing to
the fact that (he traiu wan not run
ning at a high rate of speed it was
possible to stop it before any dam
age was done. It Is thought that
the parties who wrecked the train
at (iastonia in the same way are
the same who made this attempt.

Explanation of Professor Everett's
S. J. F.vcrt-lt, wlni was last
year principal of the .Mouris' (irad
ed School, has recently been much
criticised for mi alleged breach of!
faith iu throwing up the piincipii'
ship of the Salisbury schools, to
which he had been elected, to ac
cept the sitpei iliteliilcncy of the
Oxford schiHils, to which he was
afterward elected. The Salisbury
correspondent of the Charlotte Oh
scrversays that Prof. Kvcictt will
go lo Salisbury, and that the mis
uiiderstamliiig is as follows:
Prof. Kvrrctt had Is-en olTt'retl
the Nuperintendency of the Ox
fordgraded schools and telegraphed
Siiperinteiident (liiflln, "Would
you accept under ihe circum
stances!" The answer was,
"Think not; the Imard refuses to
release you." Prof. Kverelt was
leaving for Oxford when the tele
gram was delivered, and glancing
hastily over it, gathered from it
the meaning that the hoard would
not refuse to release him. He hail
nreviouslv stated to the Oxford
iHianl that ins answer to their
proposition would be in the form
of a telegram directed to himself
from Salisbury. He accordingly
forwarded the telegram to the
hairmau of I he Oxford board, who
read it correctly nnd ut once en
tered into correspondence with
another part v. Meanwhile Prof.
Kverett went on home under the
impression that he had Ist-n re
leased from Saulisbiiry uml hail lie
