Now that the old town clock' has been
knocked out of its roosting place in the

question 'as. to what to do with it has

the fact that the clock; though old, is
still in good condition - and good for
many more years of active service. It
is suggested that the plan drawn by

be carried : out y and - the clock placed
therein. ' This : was suggested , at the

tlons A proper exhibit of oar North

congregate at Denver in great'numbers,
from the Eastern States and dtles. and
from foreign lands, the great attrac

and purity of water the cheapness and
ease of living; the wealth of virgin for

transportation and proximity to the
great cities and seaports: the settled

The question to be determlnednd that
quickly, is how far the class to be most
benefitted will give its aid and show. its
appreciation by furnishing the material
for such an exhibit as will do credit to
the mineral resources of the country to
be illustrated, and produce the Impres
sion which can and ought to be made.
Well selected specimens of the copper,
gold, silver, lead and sine ores are par
ticularly wanted, and, in addition, rich
specimens of "free" gold ores, nuggets,
placer washings, native silver. carbon
ates, chlorides to embellish the display
and show that all the richness of
precious metal Is not confined alone to
Western fields. Will our miners aid the
company by a contribution of their
ores, and add their finest and most
valuable specimens 7 Of course, as has
been the case heretofore, all such valu
able specimens will be carefully pre
served and returned. All specimens
will be labelled with the name and ad
dress of the owner. Specimens of ores
should weigh as much as fifty pounds,
singly or In pieces; should be carefully
wrapped, boxed and shipped by express.
The finer and more valuable specimens
should be put in separate packages.

A He w Effect in Bangs. ; :
The latest thing out for the ladies is
crystallized bangs, and the style has
just been introduced in Charlotte, al
beit by accident. A young lady on west
Tryon street, wishing to make her
bangs stay bang, washed them in what
she supposed to be a solution of soda,
but immediately after the washing pro
cess, she was surprised at the odd effect.
Her bangs, instead of appearing fluffy.
gradually stood straight out from the
forehead in such a state of crystalliza
tion and rigidity as to make the feat of
impaling ait apple upon them an easy
one; She had used pulverized alum. In

negro man named George Mobley; who
bad bsen arrested by the colored con

Mobley was convicted of the first charge
and when the officer went to handcuff
him, he dashed through the crowd and
escaped A party of dozen or more
were ; standing around and Mobley
.knocked four men down as he broke
through the crowd. 'The officer follow-;
ed in hot chase of the fleeing negro and
ran him for two miles, and. daring the'
chase he fired seven shots at him. but
uobiey finally escaped. Mt is thought
that the last shot fired by the constable
too effect, as Mobley. fell with the re
port of the pistol, but quickly regained
his feet and continued to ran.! The
other charges preferred against Mobley
were for resisting officers and retailing
whiskey. He is considered a very de

the bridge. Tlie western approach to
the bridge by a long, high, narrow em
bankment, over which only one vehicle
can pass at a time, and - the proximity
of the burning brick kilns to this em
bankments, adds danger to Inconven
ience. Furthermore the bridge is said
to be in a bad condition. ' The com
plaint is not only general, bat it is just,
and the authorities should at once look
into the matter. A wider and safer
bridge Is needed and should be built. -
The Water Works Isaproveaaent. ; -
Mr. Jas. Gamble, president of the
Charlotte water works company, arriv
ed in the city . yesterday from - New
York; and Monday morning a meeting
of the directors of the company is to be
held, when the matter of the water
works improvement will be discussed.
Mr. Gamble says that the order for the
iron necessary for the heightening of
the standpipe has been placed witb the
rolling mills and the work will com
mence as soon as the iron is shipped.
On account of the great consumption of
water daily in the city, and the impossi
bility of keeping a uniform height; all
the water in the standpipe will have to
be' drawn and that receptacle cat off
from the mains daring the progress of
the work. The Richmond & Danville
locomotives alone draw 30,000 feet of
water - per day from ' the standpipe.
While the work, is going on, the city
will dra v its supply of water from the
mains, which will be kept full under a
heavy pressure by the engine at all
times. a;v . :. -j v -' '.

A Cinevoasly Wroaged Dog. S
One of our good citizens, with the
view to raising poultry, some weeks
since stocked his poultry , yard with a
number of fine fowls, and his idea of a
successful poultry business was to find
the nests fall of eggs every day, but in
this he was daily disappointed. It was
evident that the nests were robbed of
their eggs, and to find oat who the rob
ber was, the citizen in question set to
woxk. He owned a Newfoundland pup
and had a hired man on the premises
who had fits. . At the suggestion of this
hired man, poor Tray was singled out
as the thief, and as the nest robberies
continued to occur, the dog continued
to receive punishment as the guilty
party. Hot ezzs Were thrown into his
mouth and bis Jaws pressed together on
them, and m addition to this punish
ment, : he '.was flogged: ontil his bones
ached. ;'- Things continued in this way
until ' yesterday, when pie truth, that
had been crushed to earth, rose up, to
gether vith the fclfed; man, who had
fallen down in theC garden in a fit and
wallowed around in a peek of egs that
had been concealed on his person; ;This
circumstance cleared up the, mystary of
t!;3 c.-jperrasca ci th9 csss, and was
