WAS SALEM'S OLDEST CITIZEN,
The following extracts are given
from tla memoir ol Mr. Timothy
V otilerJpnbiished in the Moravian)
who died in Hah tn recently in hie
I'Ot'n year!
His father was Christopher Vog
ler, the gunsmith of Salem a con
ttity Hti. His mother was Anna
Johanna Vogler, in, n. Staubor,Blso
descended Irnm the first settler in
Wachovin. HisKiandfa'hir, Philir
Christopher Vogler, was one of the
Herman emigrants who seined
ahout 1740, near llroadbay in w hat
was then province of Maine.
It became ulaln. however, that
they could not enjoy religious liber
ty in that pari of New Kng and,
mill, thercfoie, they resolved to
emigrate to North Carolina. In the
course ol their journey Ity sea thev
were shipwrecked off the coast of
irgmia, but were all saved Iroin
the wreck, and part ol their goods
wro slso rescued, finally, In
November. 17Si. these exiles for
conscience sake reached llclhabara
Thnv worn sick and weary, and CftltlO
unexpectedly to Hie Hethahatft peo
,
ple, lint they were hospitably ro-
ecivcil, ana spent :ne winter, some
of the 28 in llethabnra, and other
in tiin town vl Salem, then eonsis
ting of only eight dwelling hoiisi s.
Mr. liinoihy ogler s talher,
ChriKitiphcr, wa at that time only
years old. In the spnnif ol lid',
he moved with his parents to Fried
land, where his father was one of
the lirnt memliers. In his youth,
however, Christopher moved hack
to Salem and hceamu the gunsmith
ol the town, which in the early
days wa ot great imortanee in a
backwoods country. Here he mar
tied, and his three eons, Gottiieh,
Na'.liamvl and Timothy continued
a iniHiiiess which laBteu tor one
hundred years.
As the youngest metnlwr of the
gunsmith firm, he made extensive
jonrnejs in the Carolina mountains
and hcyond. For a very thort time
he carried on his businceMn Macon,
Georgia, but, as a good son, honored
hid mother's wir.li to have him again
by her side. His leminiteetiees of
this more stirring period of his
early life, when traversing the
mountains, with his team and wag
on loaded with rillcs, and visiting
the Indian country of the Chcro
kces, were wonderfully vivid, and,
after seventy years, even in his
latest ilinevs, ho could recall the
very accents in which friends had
spoken to him, as il' the threescore
and tin years bad been, indeed,
only a night when it is passed.

HE TARES HIS OWN LIFE,
SAD ENDING OF COL. JOHN BROWN'S
LIFE AT CHARLOTTE.
Ma J. T. J. Ilrown left Winston
last night for Charlotte in response
to a telegram stating mm ins nroiii
er, Col. John K. ISrown, wan In a
dying condition, having shot him
self in the head, with a pistol, about
one o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Maj. Urown, of course, knew
nothing of the particular of the af
fair when he left here. From the
Chmlotte papers, received to-day,
it is learned (hat Col. l'rown was
in a t ilet room attached to the law
building when ho fired die pistol.
A nctfro boy who was passing t
the time heard a shot, and opening
the door found Col. Urown lying
on the floor, with bbod streaming
from a holn in his head. Col.
lirown'g son. Mr. Morrison Ilrown,
who wbb only lat week admitted
to the Charlotte bar, was tin) first
to reach the scene, but closely lot-
owing him were Attorney Ceiieral
Frank I. Osborne. Col. H. C. Jones
and Chns. V, Tillo.t. A 38 calibre
revolver lay on the floor. Col
Hrown was uncotiBcioua and bieath
ing heavily. lie was carried to
his ollicu in the law building and
aid on a sofa, and very soon lour
physicians were at his side.
It was found that Col. Urown had
( . . . .
ilaccd the pistol to his head at the
ajk of the right ear. at the place
where he was woumk-d in the war
The bullet, on striking th skull,
lad split. A small fragment went
up under thefcalo, towards the top
his head 1 he larger portion
went straight into Ins head, passing
through his brain, and lodging near
tho left temple. I he doctors per-
ormed a loiii? operation of probing
and trepanning, during which Col.
Isrown gradually grt-w weaker.
(?ol Brown's health gave way
last summer, and his mind became
impaired. He came to Winston
last tall and spent several months
with his brother, Maj. T.J. Urown
lie ritnrni d home about ten davs
ago. He apoarcd at his oflice
yeetciday for the lirst time and
seemed brighter than for several
months past. There was nothing
unusual in his Hetion, and no one
had an intimation of the imjcnd
ing tragedy. The old war wound
in his head had been troubling him,
and i fleeted his mind. (VI. Brown
was an elder in the First Presbyte
rian church, and was a man honor
ed and respected hv all classes of
Charlotte people. The News says
the town was inexpressibly shocked
over tho occurrence and great
crowds gathered about the law
building.
Col. Brown bad Ixvn a leading
attorney at Charlotte for years pat,
and for eight years had been solici
tor of the Criminal court. Ho was
born at Locust Hill, Cat-well coun
ty, in Aug. 1830. and was the Son
of John K. and Klizabeth C. Brown,
both ot whom were of good old Car
olina stock, the father lcing for
many years the leading physician of
his lime, and for two terms was a
men: her ol the State legislature.
He was a brother of Senator Bed
ford Brown, Maj. T. J. Brown and
a brother in-law of Mrs. Stonewall
Jackson, whose residence adjoins
his in Charlotte.
He s rved through the war and
won the title of Colonel He also
served one term in the l.ower
House of the I'glature. In 1879
he married Miss Lsura P. Morrison,
daughter of !iev. R. II. Morrison,
I). 1)., one of the leading and most
popular divines of North Carolina.
The Observer says that Colonel
Brown was alive at 3 o'clock this
morning, and apjenred to be breath
ing better.
A telegram from Maj. Brown
says that bis brother breathed his
last about 9 o'clock this morning

Such a man was Lieut. Col. Ful

which, by promotion, he had ob
tained the rank of Lieutenant Colo

from tho battle of Winchester on
the 28th of Maj, to ih.it of Manas
sas, on the 28th ot August, includ
ing all of Jackfon's battles near
Richmond I knew him well, and
can therefore tpeak from personal
knowledge ot his merits. He
blended, in a remarkable degree,
kindness and civilly with discipline
and military duties. Ho was the
favorite of every soldier. His
nieri's were exhibited without pre
tension : and his courage, the chief
element of his character, w as shown
without bravado.
In many charges against the
enemy, tne oattie nag was seen in
his hands leading tho regiment to
victory. I lis death wounds were
received while thus bearing tho
colors in the charge at Manassas on
tho 28th ot August. Ho expired
the next day with the same flag
waving over him, which he had
borne in triumph against the foe.
1 have felt constrained, my dear
Sir, to offer this taint tribute of re

of the most valuable officers ot my
brigade, and whoso honest and i
gentlemanly deportment gained my
warmest esteem. Accept, Sir, my
sincere and deep sympathy in the
distress you and rour family mtif.t
feel for the loss of such a son. May
this testimony to his merits and
manner of his death, assuage in

A Compromise Effected.
A tew weeks ago Mahlon Bran
non procured marriage license in
Iredell county tor himselt and Miss
Ida Ileavis, of Yadkin connty.
They were to "eteal away" and get
married on Saturday la-tore Xmas,
bnt the whole plan was broken np.
The yonng girl's fttf her, Mr. J. J.
Ueavis, being bitterly opiHised to
his daughter's marriage, she being
only 16 years old, and especially to
Brannon, on being informed of the
license being issued, he kept his
danghter at home, closely watched,
and notified every one whom he
suspicioned of being friendly to the
match to keep off of his premises.
Mr. Re-avis at once notified the
Register of Deeds of Iredell to re
voke the license, as it is a violation
of the law to issue license for the
marriage of a girl under IS years
old without consent id her father.
The Register notified Brannoi, to
surrender the license but Brannon
was deaf to such notice. No action
was taken against Brannon. Reavie
then entered suit against ihe Reg
ister of Iredell for $200 damages.
They met for trial last week at the
home of a magistrate in the edge of
Iredell. Brannon, Reavis and

JONES HANGED BY A MOB.
A NEGRO WHO KILLED THE POSTMAS
TER AT ELKHOftN, WEST VIR
GINIA, LYNCHED.
News f.-Mii I'luehVhl, W. V.i
brings the following account of
desperate' negro's crime and thi
lynching that quickly followed :
Alex, Joins, a nuisro desperado,
boarded a passenger tram Rt hoy
stone v cdtiosiiay mgtit. no was
under tho inlluoneeof whiskey, very
boisterous and iiunrrol.vimn. Con
ductor McCulloiigh came throuul
the cars, and after demanding fnru
from Jones, advised him to bo
quiet. Tho negro became much
incensed, and then an attempt Mas
made to eject him, he pulled two
revolvers from a belt and began
tiring promiscuously through tho
train winch was crowded w ith pas
sengors. He emptied both revol
vers and attempted to reload, hut
was overpowered by trainmen.
When tho smoke had cleared away,
and tho excitement had abated, it
was discovered that W. ll.Strolher,
postmaster at Klkliorn, was shot
through the abdomen. The wound
resulted in almost instant death.
Conductor McCulloiigh was shot in
tho side, but not seriously injured,
and Peter luce, a colored miner,
was shot through the right breast,
and probably fatally injured.
Jones was incaicerated in the
Klkhorn jail to await tho arrival of
train by which to convey him to
Huntington for sale-keeping. The
train arrived at 2 a. in., and the
officers and prisoner boar Jed tho
train without molestation. Mean
while a mob had been organized at
Welch, 15 miles west of Keystone
and had marched to Hemphill, a
small station one milo west of
Welch. The train wns flagged by
a danger signal and the mob, num
bering one hundred men, boarded
it, and at the point of Winchesters,
forced tho officers to release the
prisoner. Thcv dragged Jones a
short distance to a tree where he
was swung to a lim1, and his body
was riddled with bullets, the follow
ing note being attached :
This deed w as done for the pur
pose of example and warning to ne
groes. So beware.
Some of the most prominent and
influential citizens of this section
composed the mob. Jones, it is al
leged, had killed three men prior
to his last offense. Excitement is
at a high pitch. An efi'ott was
made by Jones' friends to rescue
him from the ngry mob, but it
proved to be futile.
W. II. Strothcr was one of the
best known men in this section, and
had numerous friends. He had
just succeeded Paul Fletcher, w ho
was killed a short time ago, as post
master at Flkhorn.
It don't work so very will to be
postmaster at Klkhorn.

A Brutal Affair in Union.
A tearful outrage is reported
from Sandy Bidge township, Union

and'tned to find her way to a neigh
bor's house, but did not got there
till morning, spending all night cx
posed to the weather, w hich hap
pened to bo very bad that night.
She may not recover from the boat
ing and cxposnro. There is said to
be much indignation, esjiociallv
since it turned out that the brutal
husband's suspicions were unfound
ed. Cowardly man.
When a friend once met Sidney
Smith at Brighton, where he had
gone to reduce himself by the use
of certain baths, be wss struck with
the decrease of Smith's size, and
said: ''Yon are otrtainly thinner

Clara Saved Hit Life.
Miss Clara Barton is alxuit tho
iravost woman this country has
rodueed. She has iust sailed for
, urkey on tho most precarious mis
sion any woman has ever under
taken. As President of the Red
ro.8 Society sho raised a large
amount tor the relict of the t utter
ing Americans.
J list before sailing tor the Orient,
the Society was informed that the
Sultan would never allow that or
any other society to come into his
ominion to distribute relief to any
of bis subjects. The society was
emphatically l.o'.ilied to ''keep off
ic grttss ot the I urk, at their
cril.
But this warning ti.ioat had no
effect on Miss Clara Barton. She
m-ide her plans in disregard of the
Sultati s proclamation, and lias sail
ed, w ith her relief ooris, for Con
stantinople. And the pr.iyers of
the American people go with her.
A well-known citizen of Raleigh
has had occasion to thank high
heaven for Miss Clar Barton.
''That woman saved my life,"
said Mr. RoWt I.umsden, at the
Union depot yesterday.
"It oconm-d in this way : I was
in the I n; ted States postal service
in Washington. I bad a sun-stroke
that came near ending my life.
The doctor said tl.e stiokc must
niove fatal. But in a little while
M ss Clara Barton came in. 'This
man mnst not be allowed to die
here,' she said. And she and her

jost now. It is a prescription for
that disease which is prevalent, by
Dr. Kecly, the physician who has
made himsoll famous in treating
the alccholic habit. He sent the
prescription to the editor of the
Louisville Courier :
"1 would like to snggost a treat
ment for grippe which I know is
nearly specific as well as innocent
It is simple ftftftafoMida, given in

or the past two years, with all
these patients bore, subject, of
course, to such epidemics, I have
not had one man to go to bed from
grippe, i break it op very quickly,
and in fact, cure it. If this treat
ment was generally known, it would
save sufferers much expense and
wretchedness and many nseful and
valuable lives."
In going through the plunder of
an old bachelor who died suddenly
in Pennsylvania a short while ago,
f -1,000 in money was found hid in
an old chest, $3,785 ot which was
in gold. Here is that much of the
$250,000,000 or $300,000,000 that

The Greenville Tobacco Board
Trade have shown a most com
mendablu spirit in a recent action
of theirs. 1 lo Board of Trade had
made arrangt nents to have a ban
qnet it at. watly day to celebrate
their progress, and to still further
cement the friendships that had
been formed in a business way.
But a week ago afire destroyed tho
residence and contents of ono of
tho citizens who could ill afford the
loss, and tho Board of Trade, moved
by tho truo snirit of charity, airrccd
to forego the banquet and use the
money intended to bo spent on it in
supplying the immediate needs of
the (ami v whoso hnuso and houso-
hold goods were destroyed. Food
and cash to the value of over 1,

merits the approbation of the
general public is putting it mildly.

Attempt! to Shoot a Young Lady.
Richmond, Va , Jan. 2'J A
Woodstock, Va., special to tho Dis
patch, says: Just after tho con
clusion of tho revival services in the
Methodist F'niscopal church, South,
hero last niglit, alkcr K. Haas, of
this place, a well known young man,
about 22 years of ago, laboring un
tier temporary aberration ot mind,
attempted to take the life ot Miss
Lucy McCann, one of the organists
of the church, and ono of Wood
stock's most popular young ladies.
As she was on her way home he shot
at her three times with a 38 calibre
pistol, and then shot himself in the
left breast just over the heatt, t'.ie
ball passing entirely through his
body.
The cause of tho sad affair was
failure in his desire to accompany
the young lady from church on
several former times during tho
revival, though he knew that she
had engagements with others. On
Monday nc wrote her a note saying
if he could not go with her no one
else should, and proceeded to carry
out his threat by obtaining a pistol
from his sister, the wife ot L. S.
Walker, clerk of tho county court.
lAst evening he went to the home
ot Miss McCann and invited her to
go with him for a short walk, evi
dently intending to tAke her life
then, but she excused herself, say
ing she could not go because sl.e
had to officiate at the organ and did
not desire to over exert herself.
The doctors think there are some
clianees for his recovery.
After all, the work of Congress,
like the work of any other legisla
tive body, is done not in the seseions
ot the Congrefs, but in the commit
tees. A few men do the work ;
the others make long speeches
without changing any member's
opinion, or throwing any light np; n
the subject. It has become cus
tomary tor the members to leave
when a fellow member shows no
sign of quitting the fioor. A mem
ber who sieaks on all occasions is
aiming not at his colleagues btt at
his people; not to carry a point but
to rsin votes. Still we would
rather have a representative who
speaks moderately often than one
who never speaks at all. -

TRYING TO COMPROMISE.
Iooking to a com prom iso of the
financial question, Senator ( jrmon,
an ami silver advt.citto, has mado
proposition which has occasioned
considerable surprise and much
comment. A Washington dispatch
says :
This proposition contemplates the
retirement of the precnhiickj and
the treasury notes by tho issuance
of 500,000,0 10 of gold bonds, a
declaration thnt all outstanding
bonds of tho government shall be
psid in g.lf, rcgiirdless of tho
language imed, and tho oiicning of
the United States mints to tho frco
and unlimited coinage of silver.
This scheme, which apparently
gives tho gold men all they ask and
the silver men all they havo tieeri
demanding, is meeting with op
position, especially ainoiigtho rank
of the sound money men on tho
Democratic side of the chamber aud
the silver Republicans. Of course,
it is a tentative proposition, as are
many otheis that are being broach
ed. The heliet is strong, however,
that no combination ground can be
reached whereon tho contending
elements can stand.
