before Esq.: S. S. S.-McCanley this morn
ing, but was con tinned 'to the 28th for
the defense, on account ox absence of

seem 3 that he saw the two men who
robbed Mr. Tbreatt and followed them.
saw them kindle a small fire and divide
the money,' which eaph rogue hid in a
separate place; that he saw where each
man hid his money and that he 'finally
went himself and stole some from one
of the piles.- He nor the detectives talk
to outsiders and it is almost impossible
to tell just how things now stand. Mr.
Fincher to-day moved his headquarters
from the Stewart House to jail. He has
many friends who sympathize with
him and hope he can show up himself
in a good light at the preliminary trial.
Lonnie, the 14-year-old son of Mr.
James Goodwin, near Rock Best, died
yesterdar evening from injuries which
he received from a fall that he got
while hauling wood last Monday.

to Messrs. J. Shute & Sons. It is still in
good hands.

Raleigh, March 14. There waa sun
shine and gladness to-day. Nature and
men were alike rejoicing at the depart
ure of the fusion legislators. Not a
few of . the j members of that party
were glad to leave.
There was never a more tricky Legis
lature since 1868. Nobody knew what
to expect. Bills were stolen and Jug
gled with, in a disgraceful way. The
bill to require railroads to redeem
unused tickets was stolen no less than
four times. iYour correspondent has
this on high a,uthory.
Senator Caryer was as mad as a wet
hen last night because the names of the
five negro magistrates did not appear
on the Cumberland list. A Republican
says he knows; the secret; that Republi
cans from that county had access to the
lists and made the changes.
bpencer Blackburn, it is said, smiled
for the first time in four days yesterday
when he -saw that Ewart and Cook had
failed as judges. He wanted company
in his misfortune and got it. It is really
cheering to hear Blackburn speak his
mind concerning the Populists in gen
eral, and the Republicans who Jacked
backbone. I
It is said that the
new (?) trustees of
the penitentiary will never meet. That
whole business has fallen flat. Demo
crats rejoice greatly at the complete
"knock-out" Iwhich Stanford, of Yad
kin, got as 8tate librarian "in his
mind." They rejoice also that Satter
fleld never prdt that insurance- commis-
sionership, eyen if he did guard the
precious kwart bill, to create that orace,
with such jealous care.
The total nnmber of acts ratified was
about 800, your correspondent is told at
the ofiice of the Secretary of State.
The Governor to-day accepted the
resignation of B. B. Winborne as mem
ber of theHouse from - Hertford, and
commissioned him as clerk of that
county's inferior court, to which posi-
ion tne magistrates naa eiectea mm.
Mr. Winborn was one of the ablest and
most popularj members of the Legisla-
ure. :!
Senator Moody told your correspond
ent the truth in the interview of six
weeks ago, when he said the charitable
nstitutions would not be hurt, lhe
xtreme Republicans led by Fortune,
wanted to grab the State Hospital, but
failed utterly
The most extreme fusiomst in either
branch of the Legislature was Mr.
Brvan, of Chatham. His record will
not be forgotten.
The Legislature made more campaign
rguments far the Democrats than ten
tons of party literature could uo.
The streets are so muddy that the
haft of thui Confederate monument
aunot be hauled to the site until next
week. It is bow on a truck two blocks
from the site.
The second! fertilizer bulletin of the
gricultuxal department will be issued
to-morrow, ahisisthe quickest work
f the kind ever done here, and is high
ly creditable to the agricultural depart
ment. A Populist Senator said last night re
garding Governor Carr's appointment
f judges, that the fusionists thought
f they refujsed to confirm them the
question wouild be as to which had the
better right to the places.
Campbell, I of Cherokee, really ex
pects to be the next Republican nomi
nee for Governor. He enjoys the hap
piness of being tlie "crank" of the
House. Last' night he made a speech in
which he sajd that as soon as he be-
ame Governor he would build great
nets into the ocean, miles and miles,
and catch all the fish passing between
the Gulf of Mexico and Cape Cod. He
full of this idea. But he "will
never come back.
The Republicans are in a state of
mind about the Douglas resolution. A
oung Radical from Monroe was htre
yesterday and was frank enough to say
that it was stirring- his people and that
was making them feel blue. Strange
to say, the iepubhcans, according to
him, are cussing the Populists about
this business.
It is whispered that thero.is to be an
other surprise for theJusionists this
week.
The Massachusetts delegation was
pleasantly entertained here to-day.
Messrs. W E. Ashley, A. A. Thompson,
Charles E. Johnson and John B. Kenny,
of the chamber of commerce, took the
delegation ojver the city, visiting the
cotton mills, car wheel factory, etc.
They also visited the State museum and
were delightjed and astonished. They
were entertained nanasomeiy oy tne

The annual meeting of the board of
trustees of ithe University was held hero
to-day. The report of the president
shows that! tn's s tne most prosperous
year in th history of the university
Four hundred and sixty-three students
are enrolled, representing twelve States
and being li the largest enrollment ever
made. There are 306 under graduate
collegiate students, 33 law students, 23
medical students, 9 graduates of col
leges candidates for advanced degrees.
4(J students in tne -summer law school
63 students in the summer school for
teachers, and 8 students in the summer
schools' o geology and biology. The
States represented are Alabama, Geor
gia, Kentucky,; Michigan, New York,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Ten
nessee. Virginia, Vermont and Texas.
There are 40 classes in tfie University
pursuing advanced elective work tn 18
different departments of study, and
containing 380 students. The institu
tion is especially "strong in conducting
advanced work and training students to
make original investigations.
, The report also shows a remarkable
spirit of economy and a, strong, manly
System or selr-help among the students,

and over tuu are living on money previ
ously earned by themselves. The-aver-
ageexpense of livingMa about $250, and
some reduce their expenses to less than
1U0. One hundred and twenty-six stu
debits have scholarships, and loans have
been made to oo, amounting to nearly
$5,000. The money for loans was do
nated by Dr. Charles F. Deems and Wm.
H. Vanderbilt. '
Two bequests, amounting to 821,000,
have been received during the year;
one of $11,000 by Mrs. Mary Morgan
Mason, grand-daughter of one of the
farmers that gave the land on which the
Ufiiversitv is located, and one of $10,000
by Mrs. Mary Bryan Speight, whose
father, John I. Bryan, was a trustee of
the University for a quarter or a cen
tury. Both bequests f are to aid poor
boys in getting an education at the
University. .
The moral and religious condition or
the students is most healthful.! Over
100 converts were made by Evangelist
Pearson during his recent revival. Vig
orous efforts are now on foot to erect a
Y. M. C. A. building, to cost $20,000.
Subscriptions made in the University
now amount to $4,300.
The University " summer school for
teachers will be continued with a larger
faculty and greatly extended courses.
There will be a general course specially
designed for the training of teachers,
constituting the normal department,
and the University extension depart
ment will furnish special cfturses of
study precisely similar to the regular
University courses, for the benefit of
students who desire University training
and culture, but who are unable to at
tend the regular sessions of the
University. Teachers and lecturers of
national reputation will be employed.
The centennial anniversary of the open
ing of the University will be celebrated
on Wednesday, June 5th. There will
be a reunion of all the living alumni, '
who will sit by classes in Memorial
Hall. An alumni banquet will be given
the same day. The roll of each class
will be called and the class will respond
by goinji on the platform. Memorial
Half will contain 4,500 people, and it is
one of the grandest buildings in the
State. Its walls are covered with tablets
in honor of the distinguished sons of
the University, embracing a President,
a score of Senators and cabinet officers,
and very many names of national fame
in all departments of human activity.
Over 20 of the trustees were present
to-day. Ir the absence of Governor
Carr, Elder P. D. Gold, of Wilson, was
ailed to preside. The reports were all
read and were extremely satisfactory.
It was resolved that the faculty be re-
uested to make preparations for the
centennial celebration, csuaiiy "com
mencement day" is on Wednesday, but
his year Wednesday will be centennial
day, so Thursday will be commence
ment day. The trustees elected an ex
ecutive committee, four of whom are to
constitute a quorum, these being A. B.
Andrews, R. li. liattle, Marion rsutler,
ulian S. Carr, J. W. Graham, R. H.
Lewis, V. S. Lusk, J. C. Scarborough,
S. Kenan and J. V . VV ilson. The
appropriations requested by the faculty
w&re discussed and were referred to the
xecutive committee. The io,uuu be-
uest by the late Mrs. Mary Speight, of
Raleigh, was accepted and a memorial
tablet in her honor was ordered to be
placed in Memorial Hall.
The matter oi tne ngnt against tne
raternities by students who desire their
abolition, was taken up. The trustees,
fter earnest discussion, sustained the
resolution of the faculty that frater
nites be not allowed to initiate students
n the academic course as members

more year.
The assets of Lee Wyatt, who failed
here to-day, are SJ0.O00. The ; liabui-
es are $17,000. The failure is due to
the insolvency of his partner, Robbins.
On3 of the leadingyoung Itepublicans
n the State said to-day that his party
and the Populists ought to be ashamed
to go home after the way in which tne
Democrats out-generaiea mem yester
day.
xtepreseuLitti vc x.. x . t nimuis,
publican, of Craven, is a bright man,
who always speaks his sentiments. He
tells me some history. He says the
House calendar actually showed that
the bill to amend the charter of the
Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad
had passed the House and been ordered
enrolled, the true state of the case be-
ng that it had passed second reading
and that Mr. Williams, co-operating
with the Democrats, had prevented a
third reading, tie discovered the entry
regarding the bill in the clerk s office
and struck it off. He tells me that two
weeks ago. the fusionists made their
plan to grab this road, and Senator
Grant was to be State proxy. The. ar
rangement for the grab of the North
Carolina Railroad was that Senator
Moody was to be State prOxy. After
wards George H. Smathers' name was
nut in. This last bill was tabled in the
Senate.
Yesterday mornine-rn the ; House,
when Ray and the Speaker had the al
tercation". Ray wanted the journal read.
The clerks could not find it. Williams
tells me that early that morning he saw
the journal and that part of it was
stolen. It is alleged that this was done
to cover up the record regarding the bill
to amxunt trustees oi tne uoiasooro
graded school. Now this is all said on
Republican testimony. xnat; graaea
school bill passed the Senate, ; but the
House not only taoiea it Dut put the
"clincher" on it. A day or two after
this was done Monroe, of Wayne, found
that the bill was in the Senate. He
found it there on the clerk s desk. He
asked Senator Grant to make a motion
to have it returned to the House. This
was not done. The House then order
ed the bill to be returned. The bill
then could not be found. lestcrday
Monroe found it; it was on the enrolling
clerk's record book, but though the en
rolling clerk looked tor it he said he
could not find it. Monroe kept on the
trail and last night found the bill was
in a batch brought in to be enrolled.
Monroe called the Speaker s attention
to the facts in the case and thus pre
vented the ratification of this bill. This
was an outrageous ease. . ,
The bill creating the office iL judge
of the criminal circuit of Mecklenburg,
New Hanover, etc., was not ratified
until after the election, so a leading

The Constitution Consulted' Yesterday
wcuwaa .nonnnn; upOB US MMtW.
Much interest was i manifested in the
city yesterday ove'r the news in yester
day s observer to tne effect that Gov
ernor Carr had appointed Judge Meares
as judge or the new criminal circuit.
and that' the commission had .been
Issued to Judge Meares and not to Mr
C 'A. Cook, who was elected br the
Legislature to fill the office.' The con
troversy - arose over the question as to
whether the Governor has a right to
appoint the judges, solicitors and clerks
of , the new criminal circuit, or whether
the Legislature had the power to elect
these officers. For the benefit or those
who wish to'Tiave their own opinion
upon the- matter In controversy,' the
Obsebveb rives below, without note or
comment, the sections or the constitu
tion which seem to bear upon the ques
tion: . ) j
Akticlk 4, Section 23. Solicitors
fob Each: Judicial District A solici
tor shall bo elected for each judicial
district by the qualified voters thereof,
as is prescribed for members of the
General Assembly, who shall hold ofiice
for the term of four years, and prose
cute on behajf of the State, in all crim
inal actions In the Superior Courts, and
advise the officers of justice in his dis
trict . - i
Article 4, Sbctios 25. Yac4nctes
All vacancies occurring in the offices
provided for bv this article! of the con
stitution shall be filled by the appoint
ment of tho Governor, unless otherwise
provided for, and the appointees shall
hold their places until the next regular
election for members sOf the General
Assembly, when election shall be held
to fill "such office. If any person elected
or appointed to any oi tne Bair-omces,
shall neglect and fail to qualify, such
office shall be appointed to, held and
filled as provided In case of vacancies oc
curring therein. All incumbents of
said offices shall hold until their succes
sors are qualified.
Article 4, Sectios 60 Officers ok
Other Courts Inferior to Supreme
Court In case the General Assembly
shall establish other courts inferior
to the Supreme Court the " presid-
ng officers and clerks thereof shall be
elected in such manner as the General
Assembly may, frdm time to time, pre-!
scribe, and they shall hold their offices
for a term not exceeding eight years. j
Article 14, Section 5 Governor to !
Make Afpoentmests In the absence of
any contrary provision, all officers of
this State, whether heretofore elected
or appointed by the Governor, shall hold

LOOKING CP GRANITE INTEREST.
Mr.
Store, of ew Korland, in Charlotte
111 tSUUSCM. j
Mr. C. H. More is vice president of
the New England Granite Manufactur
ers' Association. He was at the Cen
tral Hotel yesterday. Mr. ;More is in
the South looking up the granite inter
est. He intends to buy and aevelop a
quarry if he can get the right sort of
property at the right price, in answer
to some interrogatories Mr. More said:
I don t think there can be; any money
in quarrying granite as it seems to be
done in the South. If 1 buy any prop
erty I will put -in good machinery for
quarrying purposes and will also put
up a plant to make a nnisnea proauct.
The most money is in working stone,
not in quarrying it, but to work it to
advantage requires a considerable plant
of improved machinery and I have not
seen one anywhere in the South." Mr.
More went last night to Atlanta, tie
will then visit Athens, Gai, and after
that he will take his wife to Florida.
He expects to bo back in Charlotte in
about a week. His address here will
be care of the Obsebveb, where he will
get his mail when he returns. Any one
having granite property lor sale may
address Mr. More, care Observer, Char
lotte, N. C. If it is expected to sell, it
is important that a aennite oner oe
made.
INVESTIGATING A PREACHER.
R&r. I. W. Jtticbael, of Troutman, Iredell
County, Under Grave Charges.
A very sensational church trial is in
progress at Troutman, six miles soutu
of Statesville on the Atlantic, Tennes
see & Ohio Railroad. Rev. D. W.
Michael, pastor of the Lutheran
churches of Troutman and Amity Hill,
has been conducting a mixed school at
the former place. His attentionstoone
of his female pupils, a Miss Troutman,
a daughter of Mr. Jacob Troutman, be
came so marked that he was cautioned
about the matter, without good effect,
however. Last fall, in September, per
haps, his wife dropped dead one day
while he .was at scnooi, ana in tnree
months afterwards he was married to
Mlss-Troutman. - The case became one
of public scandal, and the president of
the JNorth Carolina synod oi the ivan
gelical Lutheran Church appointed
Rev. Mr. Stickley, of Enochvilley Rowan
county, and E. T. Goodman, Esq., of
Mooresville, a committee to investigate
it. Thev becan their investieation at
Troutman yesterday, sitting with closed
doors.
The case is, of course, exciting deep
interest in the community. ; Mr. Michael
is 35 to 40 years of age and is said to be
an excellent preacher. i

The freight train on the Atlantic,
Tennessee & Ohio Railroad does almost
as good a passenger business as the
passenger train. The freight's passe n
ger traffic alqne pays the expenses of
the train three times over. The pres
ent light rails on this road are to be
taken up and replaced by! heavier steel
rails to be taken from the JNorth Caro
lina road, main line, which is to be
supplied, instead, with new rails.
The last statement on tne southern

Correspondence of the Observer.
. Btatesville, March 13. The Legisla
ture has amended the charter of States
ville and while it ia a matter of no con
sequence except that it brings the grad- ;
etl school into politics, yet I would like
to say right here that this action of
Senator Sharpe and Representative Mor- ;
row is an outrage, and all fair-minded
people should hold these, two men re
sponsible for this misrepresentation at
Raleigh, and charge them with It when
they get home, which will doubtless be
to-morrow. - .-! r
I say It was an outrage, because the
law. was enacted at the behest of two
men, and but one of them property-
holders, and against the protest of the
cltr Council and a numerously-signed
Petition filed with Messrs. Sharpe and
Morrow. Two men felt aggrieved at
newspaper-strictures, made a Isurvey
changing the lines; of the corporation,
drew a bill changing the election of the
aldermen and the graded school com
mittee, and one of the gentlemen car
ried the bill to Raleigh and it became a
law; when the factjs, 4'J voters out of
every oo were utterly opposed tp it. i
think this action should he tnorougniy
ventilated, so that the Voters of States
ville may know in tlie May election for
mayor and aldermenjof this city that it
is the Democrats and the Democratic
party that should control the affairs of
this city government! i ! !

and Democrats nominated and elected
