Tbe Southern's new depot is practi cally completed, and a handsomer one is not to be found on the line, except probably at Lynchburg. The building is larger and more convenient in every -way than the former building. The waiting room is the old dining room, and is a handsome, commodious room. Ticket Agent Fayssoux chris tened his new office yesterday. Tbe purchasers of the first tickets sold at the new window were two of the sisters from Belmont. Mr. Gresham served supper in the new dining room last night. Although uot as large as the old room, the finish logs and furnishings are equally as handsome, and tbe room large enough for all purposes. -. Charlotte appreciates the Southern's effort in giving her the best depot the road has ever built. Her cup of grati . tude is just waiting to run over, when the shed shall have been added. Engineer Jim Hunter handles a throt tle on the Charlotte, Columbia &. Au gusta Road. Sunday afternoon he lost a driving wheel at the Tryon streel orosslng, and there he stayed until help arrived. in This wrong place. Cape. Ryder Unjustly Critieised By tte Misplacing of a Paragraph. By an unfortunate error in Sunday's Obskrveb a paragraph intended for a communication criticizing a twelve- hour delay at Qlen Alpine on the West ern North Carolina Road, was misplaced and inserted in the local railroad news (of the wreck at Pacolet river on the At lantic and Charlotte division of the Southern Railway, thereby cast in? un just reflection on Superintendent Ryder, who had done everything in his power to repair the damage done on his divis ion. The complaint about the Glen Alpine matter was the non-transfer of passengers. Capt Ryder had trans ferred the passengers at Pacolet river. The misplaced paragraph was this: "It was said at the wreck that day that the road could have been repaired in three hours with proper materials a hand and asullicient forje of workmen.' It was entirely out of place and did not make sense where it was inserted, beine corrradictory of what preceded. The Observer regrets it greatly and hopes that this will explain the matter satis lactorily. Charlotte's First Council. Charlotte Council of the Royal and Select Masters was organized last night with the following officers: Thrice Illustrious Master Geo. H King; Deputy Illustrious Master Thos.
