Tbo meeting was ia 4he nature of a private one, not that tho fathers objected to anyone . being present, but the usual number of eit isens who watch the deliberations of tha board with interest were conspic uous by their non-presence. Plain, ordinary routine business beld a firm grasp on the board last night, caus ing tbo deliberations to move along with a common place monotony. All in all tho proceedings were inarked by a aad lack of manifestation of any "animated moderation.'' Tho board and the street esr com pany reached an agreement whereby tho tract of the company would not bo constructed in the - business sec tion of tbo city from, tho Lutheran church to the square until March L The eity eotnemplates putting down some kind of pavement on the street in this-section and if the company built the track now it would have to be torn up at that time. On account of tbe winter weather the board is of the opinion that if the paving work was started now it would have a paralyzing effect on business in this section as the work could make very little progress during the bad weath er. Tbo regular election of a record er for the municipal court was held and Recorder Puryear was re-elected. There was no 'other applicant for the position and Mr. Puryear received the full vote of tbe board with the exception of A&ernian Barrier, who toted against him.

He was working on one of the company's large steel towers and while thus engaged came into contact with a live wire, which he thought was dead. The wire was not one of the main ones, but was a ground wire, not supposed to ...be charged. ' One of his hands was se riously churned, also his legs.,' He would. JiaVXauea from - the s tower had it not been-for his belt which was fastened and supported him un til he revived. Fortunately for Mr. Youngblood, he carried Josh Moody out with him yesterday, and it was only the thoughtfulncss of Moody that saved Ins ate. Moody jerked the wire out of Youngblood 's hands just in time to save bis life. He was helpless for several minutes, but re ived and without assistance climbed down, but again fell when he got to the ground. New Mecklonbnrl Declaration Proof. Charlotte Observer.

It takes the post-contemporaneous evidence as far back as 1791, showing that "the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde pendence" by name was discussed before no less a person than George Washington as an event whereof Mecklenburg County and North Car olina could justly boast. The article conveying this evidence is written by Dr. Archibald Hender son, of the University of North Caro lina ; and his international reputation as a writer upon the widest variety of critical themes is a sufficient war rant that the manner of presenta tion will be even more than, in keep ing with a discovery which may quite conceivably win Over all doubters ex cept a surviving remnant of the very gnorant or the very willul kind Tito ' Torre ng System.

The constitutionality of tbo penal ty law was raised whea tho Southern railway waa sued by Reid and Beam, of Rutberfordton, C, for refusal to receive a carload of shingles for shipment to Seottsville, Tenn.

It is understood that a petition may b made to Governor Fuss and the exe cutive council of the State to com mute tbe death sentence to imprison ment for Ufe. While displaying remarkable stoic ism, tbe young Virginian appeared to those who crowded the little court room as if he were conducting his own funeral. Yet as he walked out of the courtroom there was a trace of the oldtime jauntiness that seem ed to many to indicate that his fight was not yet finished. To the half dozen questions which Judge Sanderson put to Richeson as to whether he realized the full na ture and effect of his acknowledge ment of guilt be answered without the slightest emotion, always in the affirmative. ' Richeson 's counsel declared after the proceedings that an appeal for executive clemency would follow soon and that every effort would be made to obtain life imprisonment instead of death as thepunishment. Upon what ground the petition will be based has not yet been decided. Mr. Boyden Weddington Out After Accident. Mr. B. M.
