women standing around one of their
number who was relating the details of
the shooting and of .her narrow escape
to the interested group. The name of
the woman fired at is Ann' Haygood,
and she says that she dodged just in
time to miss tbejtmllet. Upon ascer
taining the facta of the shooting, tbe
officer started off in search of Gillespie,
and had no difficulty In tracing him up.
At several places along the ! street the
officer was informed that Gillespie had
been seen just a few minutes previous
ly, and that he was flourishing a pistol
rather promiscuously. He was traced in
the direction of, the Charlotte Hotel
and on arriving there the officer was
informed that bis man-was in the bar
and had a pistol in his band. Police
man Blackwelder stepped into the bar.
and found Gillespie leaning on the
counter, with a ; pistol lying between
his hands evidently ready to do any
deed of bloodshed and violence, but
without hesitating a moment he step
ped forward and grasped the. weapon
just as Gillespie made a motion to take
it up. ' Once disarmed the postmaster
made no attempt at resistance and
went along quietly to the city prison.
iGiHespie'a visits to Charlotte are un
fortunate, as he seems to rush right in
to trouble. Not long since the police
arrested him.and had hini'bTorertho
'nUyor for lawtass conduct' in the city.
very; nearly akin to the present in
stance, ne will be tried by the mayor
this morning on the several charges of
drunk and disorderly conduct, carrying
concealed weapons and attempting to
shoot a woman.
A Woader ia the Air.
About sundown yesterday afternoon,
the streets were filled with people with
upturned faces, watching a big ring of
smoke passing over the city. It was
thrown out by the shifting engine of
the Richmond & Danville road and was
a sight to look at. It resembled an im
mense barrel hoop, and kept its form
and shape until it bad gone beyond the
reach of the eye. - Perhaps the last per
son who saw the novel thing were Mr.
Eccles and a newspaper man, who
were on top of the Central with a big
telescope pointed at it.

While prayer meeting services were
going on at the Tryon street Methodist
church. Wed nesday night, - a stranger
walked in and took a back seat, and it
was pretty soon evident to those around
him that he was under the influence of
liquor. He soon began talking to him
self in a loud and offensive tone of
voice, and by and by he took a notion
that be wanted to pray, and attracted
the attention ot everybody in the
church, very seriously interrupting the
services, xesterday morning he was
arraigned before the mayor for the of
fence,and as a result of the trial be was
bound over to the Inferior court. He
could find no one to go on his bond, and
was sent to jaiL In conversation with
the reporter he expressed his deep mor
tification and burning shame at what
he bad done, and begged us to keep his
name ont of the paper. He is a North

Tne afternoon train from the North
yesterday deposited a little German boy
at the depot in this city, to wait over
until midnight for the Charleston
bound train, as he held a ticket for that
city. Being fresh from "der Vaterland."
he was unable to either speak or be
spoken to, and couldnt imagine why In
the world he was put out on the
ground. The depot men, in their efforts
to make him understand, succeeded in
frightening the life almost out of him.
and the little fellow sat on his baggage
and treated the boys to something they
had never seen before a genuine Ger
man crying spelL With ; an imploring
look he would show bis ticket to the
men with the remark: Ich bin nicht
helm, Ich bin nicht heim," and rock to
and fro with tears as long as a lead pen
cil stringing down his cheeks. How to
console the little foreigner, or what to
do r with him, began to be a serious
question, until some one went over to
Wilkes' machine shops and there found
a man who could speak German, and
who hadn't been wagging the mother
tongue to the boy more than fire min
utes when the tears gave place to
smiles and the storm calmed down. A
pleasant time the remainder of the trip
to the youngster,and may he eventually
arrive safely to the arms of "mine f ad
der" in old Charleston.

A letter from Mt. Mourne, Iredell
county, gives us the particulars of an
outrageous affair which occurred at
that place, last Thursday evening, on
the arrival of the passenger train from
Charlotte. Mr. J. M. Douglass, the
deputy postmaster was at the train en
gaged in transferring the mail, when
he was attacked without provocation
by a young man named M. L. Mott, of
States ville. Mott struck Mr. Douglass,
and then pulling out a pistol struck
him with that, weapon, inflicting a deep
and .ugly gash on Mr.; Douglass' -bead,
from which thev blood poured, freely:
At the same time young Molt defied
Mr. Douglass to open bis mouth, pre
senting' the 'pistol at him. r As Mr.
Douglass did not seem, to desire en
gaging in a fight, the? young man next
turned his attention to J. W. Gordon,
the colored mail agent, telling Gordon
to hop out of the car or he would kill
him. Gordon not being quick enough
about it, Mott caught bold of him and
jerked him ont of the car, after which
he pranced around generally, and swear
ing that he wanted to "kill some d n
rascal," fired off his pistoL; The post
master of Davidson 'College was by
young Mott'a side, and both were under
the influence of whiskey The .law
abiding citizens of ML Mourne are in
dignant that: such ah; outrage 'should
occur within the borders of . their town
and are determined .that the. perpe
trators shall feel the full punishment of
the law. After the 'affair, Mott disap
peared, but it Is stated that be got on

sUclee ia Slav Bow the Moon Will
.Hiale Beta Seorpii. -
The planetary records of May are full
of matters of exciting interest. Two
of the giant' planets, Neptune and
Saturn, reach conjunction; . Mercury
arrives at eastern elongation and is
visible as evening star during nearly
the entire month ; Venus and Mars are
in close conjunction. Every planet Jn
the system, viewed from the earth, is in
northern declination. Tbe moon comes
in for distinguished honors. She ia
very near Saturn; she occults Beta
Seorpii. and she gets np for a favored
few in the far-away region of the
Southern Pacific Ocean ; the grandest,
most sublime and awe-inspiring specta
cle that terrestrial observers ever be
hold, when, for nearly six precious
minutes, her dark shadow . conceals
from view the glorious orb of day.
Beta Seorpii is a double star, the larger
component being of the second magni
tude and yellowish white in color, and
the smaller component being of the
fifth and a half magnitude and bf a
lilac color. The moon is just past the
full at the occultation, so that nearly
her whole disc is illuminated. An ob
server with a telescope will witness a
superb exhibition. About 11 o'clock on
the evening of the 2 1st the larger star
will disappear behind the moon and in
less than a minute the smaller one will
follow. The immersion of the star has
then taken place. The occultation will
continue an hour and a half. At half-,
past twelve o'clock the emersion of the
star has then taken place, the com
panion stars reappearing on the oppo
site side of the moon. -The occultation
may. be observed with an opera glass,
which, ho wever, will , not separate the
star into its components. The bright
moonlight will obscure the view to the
unaided eye. i'.;,;." T -,i v.
