Geudes rushed towards the Bitot aod saw a tall man retreating, but remem bering bis implicit instructions not to leave bis post on any account, he re turmd to his bent and theuian escaped. (Juicer r el ion. who was on an ad joining beat, met Geddes returning. lie also beard tbt shots, rne auperia- tendent of Police attaches little impor tance to tbe occurrence. He believes the t fficers drew upon their imagina tions for their facts as to seeing a man emerge from the grove. There is a small lake near the grove and it is aaserted that the shots were - fired by a Frenchman who occasionally shoots musk rats wbicb abound there. What ever be the correct theory there is no doubt that the shots were fired and considerable alarm thereby occasioned. A Towa Be!ea-aered hy Savages. Trcsox.

The north bound freight train No. 19, which left this city yesterday morning mat with an accident which resulted in the death of John Gayle, tbe engineer, and the serious wounding ot Wm. Wil son, the fireman, and the front flagman. The accident occurred at the 203 mile post, x miles beyond High Point, in a very deep cut, and was caused by run nisg over . a cow. W hen near ing the fatal spot, the engineer saw the cow on tbe track ahead of him and gave the usual warning notes through the whis tle. The cow continued on the track and though the speed of the train was checked by the application of tbe brakes the engine struck the cow just as th deepest part of the -cut was reached. Tbe cow was knocked forward a few feet and in a moment was under the wheels of the engine. The drivers bounced the rail and the engine fell over on its side against the embank ment and was driven deep intfe the' earth by the two forward box cars, which being Impelled by the momen tum of the heavy train, were driven on top of the engine. Johnnie Gayle. who stood with bis hands on the lever at the moment of the crash, was drawn from under the debris dead. His body w terribly mangled and death must have teen instantaneous. The fireman, Wm, Wilson, white, had a narrow escape. but managed to jump partly clear of tbe wreck. He was struck by some timbers and badly hurt. The flagman who was on the forward car, was pain fully, but not seriously Injured. Johnnie Gayle, the fated engineer was one of the youngest men on the road, being only 23 years old. He is from Clover Station, Halifax county, Va. and is a brother-in-law to Mr. W. A. Walden. the master mechanic of tbe Air-Line road at Atlanta. He used to fire for Mr. Walden, and before he was 20 years of age, he was running a loco motive as a regular engineer. AB the railroad men loved the boy engineer and their eyes were moistened when they mentioned his name yesterday. His remains will be sent to Clover Station for interment. The wreck caused a 'complete block ade of the track, the ears being wedged tightly between the banks of the cut making the work of clearing the track. an exceedingly difficult one, and it was not until late last night that the pas senger trains were enabled to pass. The mail and express train due here yesterday at 2:12 was caught on the north side of the wreck and did not arrive at all. and the first train in since the accident arrived last night at 1 OS o'clock. Csptr Kennedy, the tfaftnns? patcher, yesterday afternoon made up an extra train, which went out north a little behind regular schedule time. Death of Chas. T. Walker. Our people were painfully surprised yesterday morning to bear of the sud den death of Mr. Chas. T. Walker. which occurred at his residence, corner of Graham and Fourth streets, at about six o'clock in the morning, of a hemor rhage from the lungs. He waked his wife and told her that he was having another hemorrhage, and asked her to give him bis medicine when be swallowed one dose and made signs that be wanted another, but before it could be given him he was dead. He did not live over five minutes after the hemorrhage came on. About a montn ago Mr. Walker was taken with an affection of the lungs, and bad, in all, eight hemor rhages. He bad so far recovered as to be out on the streets attending to Sis business, and all fears of bis friends appeared to have been allayed. Mon day he was in his usual seat at tbe meeting of the board of aldermen, and he mingled with his friends Tuesday apparently in sound health, and retired Tuesday night with no premonition of his approaching end. The deceased was born and raised in Chester, S. G, and came to this city to enter business just after the war. He was aged about fifty years, and leaves a wife but no children. Charlie Walker was truly one of Charlotte's most influ ential and public spirited men. His in fluence was unquestioned, and he always wielded it for what he thought would be tbe good of. the city. . la all movements for the advancement and Improvement of the city he was always f onsd to be a warm advocate, and he was the last man to ever be found op posing or retarding any measure that was calculated to 1 benefit Charlotte or her people. He has served as a member of tbe board of ; aldermen for about eight years, waf for a long time assist ant chief or the ore department, and as tbe time of his death was president of the Hornet Steam Fire Company. The following bodies - held .-meetings yesterday evening to take action In re-, gard to his death : Old Fellows, Fire men, Board of Aldermen and Police force. Resolutions were adopted, and are printed elsewhere. The funeral will take place this afternoon at four. o'clock, from the residence of the de ceased. --..-!' i Charlie Walker, in all the relations of life, wss a good man, and his death is truly a loss to our city.

I see an inauirv in tbe Journal urservex in regard to celebrating: the "Glorious 20th." As a member of the Monumental Association and one who feels a deep interest in tbe erection of a suitable monument, which shall con stantly and always keen fresh the mem ory of those brave and gallant forefa thers and countrymen who by their no ble and undying patriotism made tbe day worth celebrating. I would sug gest that as we celebrated it with so much honor last year, that for once we forego this pleasure, and that the money usually spent In this way be given to the Monumental Association, that with this, and tbe other means which shall be adopted bv the associations d urine the coming year, sufficient money may oe raised to procure a handsome monu ment, which shall do honor conjointly to our Mecklenburg dead of revolu tionary fame, and to our Confederate also, so that in May, 1884. we may have another grand and glorious celebration in tbe unveiling of this monument. Tbe ladies are determined to make a mighty effort for the consummation of this object, and it does seem to me that each man. woman and child in Meck lenburg county as well as in the city of Charlotte, ought and would give some thing to this noble undertaking if ap pealed to in the proper way. During the 20th of May last Year. when our citv was full of stransrers. and the ladies of the association were serv ing lunch, to add a little money to that already raised for this objeet. two gen tlemen came in to buy a lunch and in quired the object. On being told tbey. handed tbe ladies 85 Instead of 50 cents, the price asked. : All honor to the chiv alrous South Carolinians! But do you nottntnKir our people were appealed to they would respond with the same cheerful generosity? If we are not full of pride, patriotism and jealousy for the honor of our grand, historic old county, how can we expect our chil dren to be so in the coming days and years ? And would not this monument speak forcibly to them of tbe great struggle for liberty, and help to instruct and implant in their bosoms reelings or pride in. and love for the great and glorious principles of freedom which have done so much for our country ?

Postmaster General Gresham to-day directed that in making postoffice appointments in Mississippi recommendations of ex Congressman Chalmers shall be given no greater weight than may be proper erly attached to tbem as recommenda tions from a private citizen. An order was issued yesterday to appoint Samuel Grigg to a thousand dollar clerkship in the Postoffice' Department, Griear was endorsed by a member of -Congress xromiows. looay wnen tne gentle man applied to take the oath of office be was asked if. his residence was in Iowa to which Question he replied in the negative, adding that he lived in Virginia. The matter was referred to the Postmaster General who declined to make the appointment on the ground that Virginia's quota is now full snd that he did not think it proper to credit a resident or Virginia to tne state or Iowa, notwithstanding that the appli cation was endorsed by an Iowa Con gressman.
