Sunday last, Messrs. Will Wager and G. W. Barnes, of Matthews Station, ar rived in the city having two negroes In custody and lodged them in the Jail at this place on charge of robbery.. Their names were Jim., Williams and George Hamilton,' and the former hai been captured in the act of burglarizing a store at Matthews, while the latter was arrested on suspicion of being an a complice. 'Williams resisted arrest and was not only, badly wounded himself. but wounded bis captors severely before he was taken. It appears that; late Saturday night, a colored man came to Matthews to purchase some burial ma terial and on going to the store of Mr. W. H. D. Wager, found the door open and, by a light that was burning with- in.aaw a negro man at work sorting out goods. Jle went to Mr. Wager's noose and waked him after which they, waked ur. SjI teed, and the three proceeded to the store to make the capture. Mr. Wager had a pistol, Mr. Reed armed himself w ith a pole and the colored man picked up the iron crowbar which the buglar had used in breaking open the doer. Thus armed, the three men were atandlng at the door when the burglar ran out. The colored ' man swung his crowbar aloft and felled the burglar to the earth. He jumped, to his feet and was knocked down again by Mr.. Reed who struch h(m over the head with the pole. Again the negro jumped up -and took to his heels, followed by the color ed man and the two white men. Mr. Wager shot four times at .Williams, but neither sbot struck. On finding himself so closely pursued, the negro turned and drew his knife and began catting the colored man who bad come up with hi in. Mr. Wager, who came up second. received hia share of the desperado's knife and was badly cut on the hands.' the knife blade going clear through one of his hands. The colored man's body was terribly gashed and his clothing waa cut into shreds. The three men finally disarmed the t.egro and roped him securely, and waited for daylight, when they brought him on to town, to gether with Hamilton, who was sus pected of b?ing aa accomplice. Williams, atter being arrested; madfe a clean confession, and stated that he had burglarized the store of Mr. J. Me Stafford, at Uarrisburg, and also the store of John Newell, of this county. In William- possession was found a bunch of twenty-five keys, among them being several U. S. Mail keys and one key with.MxvJSUQord'e name on it. Wil liams .stated that four other' thieves were operating with him and gave their names to the onlcera as Frank Browq, Rill AlcK uzii. Tom Robbius and Johtf Robfrtsn. It is probable, that Wil liam and his gang have had a hand in the recent robberies ih this city. Wil liams will beclostfly confined in j -ill and the tracers expect to get further and mora important confessions from him. The Iastilate Last 3figat. The literary commence meet of the Charlotte Female Institute was held last night in the presence of a large and delighted audience, who completely filled every nook and corner of the large hail. Tha exercises were opened with prayer, after wbich MissSudieA Hutchison read an entertaining and ex ceedingly interesting essay on "Sermons in Stqies - j Miss Fleda Bennett followed in a beautiful recitation of The Fall of the Pemberton MilU." We have heard this touching story read by professional elocutionist, but never have we heard it so eloquently, pathetically and touch ingly rendered as it was by Miss Ben nett last night. . She torched the hearts of the audience and wakened the emo tions of all. Miss Bennett's recitation of "Henry the Fifth's Wooing." was also splendid and the audience were nfore than 'ever charmed with the grace ful delivery of the fair elocutionist. . Miss Lola Spencer's essay on "The Great Magicians of the Nineteenth Cen tury," was an excellent production, and waa received with many manifestations of pleasure by the audience. . ; Miss Fanny Louise Withers poon dis tinguished herself in 'an admirable es say on the " World's Heroines." Choice selections of music were played be tween the essays and recitations, and after the reading of reports and award ing of certificates. Rev. J. F. Lattimer, PtwD. delivered his address; which was a fine one in every particular. We re gret that the lateness of the hour pre vents a review of It.

Three Traias in Trouble oa the West era North Carolina Railroad Tramp of a pharlotte Partr The Storm at SsJlsbary Baraa Destroyed by IJcfct- oiags aad Mills aad Bridges Swept A way by the Flood. ; . One of the most terrific rain storms that has - ever, been known to fall in this State, visited Salisbury and vicinity last Saturday night. . So frightful-was the downpour that many of the people are Inclined to the belief that it was a genuine water spout. Be this as it may. it was no ordinary rain storm. Min gled with the roar of the torrents, came the roll of thunder and the crack bf lightning, and the coarse of the turbu lent streams,' with mill I houses and bridges tumbling and rolling down their swollen currents were lighted here and there by blazing barns. Little streams that in ordinary times could be stepped over by a child were quickly converted into rivers, and rain was being worked on .every 'hand." The storm appears to have extended for 10 miles around Salisbury and was sever est up the line of the Western North Carolina Railroad, where two over turned engines and a buried train, bore evidence of its disastrous results. A party of Charlotte boys were on board . one of the trains and arrived home Sunday afternoon to tell their experience. There were three trains on the road, all bound for Salisbury. TEe mixed local and - freight train was in the lead, a gravel train followed this and the regular passenger train brought up the rear. While 'the first train was going through a big cut, eight miles from Salisbury, a tremendous rock broke loose from the top of the em bankment and came down on the track followed by a alide of land, catching ami holding the train fast. Finding it impossible to move either backward or forward. Engineer Boyd cut his engine loose, and with the conductor 'and fire man started on to Salisbury to telegraph back and warn the other two trains. THREE TRAINS IN A PREDICAMENT. A track walker was sent ahead of the engine with a lautern, and the engineer was moving slowly. After proceeding about two miles, and while crossing a culvert, the engine began to sink and then suddenly went down into the water below, where it lay bottom up. Engineer Boyd, the fireman f and the conductor leaped out atne first warn ing and escaped unhurt. In the mean time the gravel train was approaching the scene of the first wreck, under charge of Engineer Clark. Torpedoes had . been planted on the track and warned by these, the engineer .was driving along slowly, and just as Le .had arrived to within two miles of the "scotched train, a culvert gave way under his engine and all went': down in the surging torrent. The engineer and all bands escaped unhurt. Sometime afterward. Capt. Tom Murphy pas seuger train came up and stopped be hind the gravel train. The rain was coming down in sheets and the scene was wild and frightful in the extreme. There were fifteen passengers on the local freight and ten on the regular passenger train. When daylight came. our Charlotte boys got out of the ear and took up a pilgrimage to Salisbury passing the wrecks on their way, and arriving at their destination in time for a late breakfast. All along their tramp, they saw evidences of the sever ity of the storm. In a level I field, the dirt had been torn up and the solid red clay exposed for a depth of four feet. All the lowlands were under sheets of shining, rippling water, and the country roads were hollowed oat and washed Into big gallies. W I ' A construction train was at once sent to the scenes of trouble on the railroad. and yesterday morning the damsges had been repaired and trains were run ning." ". . I . . - In Salisbury the rainfall was about 8 inches and at the depot the water stood four feet deep. .Where one of the cov ered bridges . spans1 the track, a land slide occurred bringing down the tele graph poles with it. The damage done in Rowan county is unprecedented. All the bridges leading to Salisbury are either swept away or damaged, and yesterday the town was cut Ecff from the country mails and travel. LOSSES BY LIGHTNING AND FLOOD. One of the severest losers waa Mr. Kinley, whose mill and dam, with about two hundred bushels of corn and thirty sacks of fl mr were swept away. Shav er's dam and bridge were carried off, and the mill house was considerably damaged. Several of the best farmers estimate their damages at from $250 to 8500. Mr. S. F. Lord, is a heavy sufferer, as his damages will amount to $2,500 Messrs. - Mock & Mo wery's boose was struck by lightning and considerably damaged. 'Lightning also struck the barn of Mr.' Wm. Garner, and con sumed the building, with m ost of its contents. ' - Messrs. Stephen Kirk and George Acheuback lost heavily by this fire, as they had a quantity of forage in the barn. People who live along Grant's jjreek say that it was : six feet higher than it was ever known to be before. Altogether it was a ' most remarkable storm and one which for the extent of its destruction is almost unprecedented in the history of our State.

Disastrous Besot t of Trying to Cress the Track Ahead of the Fast Mail A Driver aad two Horses Dashed to .'Destruction.; it -M' : Passengers who arrived in 'fhe city Sunday morning brought, news of a terrible accident that occurred on the Virginia Midland road, by which a col ored man and two horses were killed by the Charlotte bound train. ; The acci dent occurred at a point where the rail road makes an abrupt tarn around a hill and through a deep cut, and at the moment the horses stepped on the track, the train was not twenty-five yard dis tant. The colored man was driving three horses, and the country road crosses the track in such a manner as to bring all three of the horses on the rails before the wagon wheels struck them. The saddle horse, on which the driver was seated, and the lead horse, were struck simultaneously by the en gine. : The moment the enginner saw the horses on the track, he realized the danger. There were ten coaches in his train and a hundred or more lives were in peril. Had be attempted to , check the speed of the train and struck the horses with a force not sufficient to throw them from the track, a terrible wreck would have resulted. But quick as thought, the engineer pulled the throstle wide open and the train leaped forward like a flash, and hurled the driver and the horses into the air. The train literally ran through a shower of blood and flesh. The saddle horse was torn all to fragments, various parts of his body being found twenty-five and thirty yards from the spot where the accident occurred. The lead horse was knocked forty feet and killed dead as a door nail, while the horse that was next the saddle horse, was thrown down an embankment, but got up and walked off unhurt. - The driver was nowhere to be seerw ' but after some search his body was found lying at the foot of the embankment, exactly fifty, yards from the crossing. The back of his head bad been shattered and he had no doubt been killed instantly. ' The engineer saw his body go high into the air and descend in front of the engine, and it is thought that it lodged on the pilot and finally rolled off and down the' embankment. The wagon ! was not hurt, and was left standing by the track, the tongue having been cut off and car ried along with the horses." The body of the colored man was put On the train and carried to the next station, where it was turned over to the depot agent to be delivered to the relatives of the un fortunate man. f - C ASvtcete Mathers.
