The audience was good but not so Urge as the intrinsic worth of the lecture should ensure, due perhaps to the recital at the Seminary and league entertainment at the vtethodist church. One person was heard to re mark, "I am most agreeably disappoint ed as the lectures are far better than I expected." Mr. Hoffmann's lecture and introduction were both such as to make one feel that he was in the im " perial city. He is a fine speaker and at home upon.the lecture platform as well as in the pulpit.

Cempany Iaereaee of Capital Stock A Tannery to Be -tabllahod A Collar Factory Added-. ; The W. E. Shaw Harness Company, ot South College street, is to cnange its firm name and greatly enlarge its business. ' - - ' New v articles or incorporation &re being drawn op, wherein the firm name is the Shaw-Howell Harness Company, the incorporators being Messrs. W. E. and A. M. Shaw, Miss Annie Graham Shaw and Mr. G, A. HowelL ' - The capital suck is to: be Increased from $15,000 to 850,000. The new firm will enlarge its business In every way. The two store-rooms on College street, 'which it now - occupies are entirely too small, and a move will be made as soon as a suitable building can be secured. If one cannot be found the company will build, possibly in Dilworth. The business has grown so rapidly in the paat few years that it is impossible to conduct it in the present building. ? . :'-t " , , . v;;;; .v V; AUS TAKD. The new firm is to give Charlotte a large tan yard. It will, in all, proba bility, oe located near the Ada Jflill. The building will be 100x38 feet, and ill be three stories high. Thirty large vats, 8x8 double vats will be built. An experienced tanner has been seen red, and the business properly con ducted as Messrs. snw fc tiowen un derstand it, will be a paying one. Charlotte, instead of sending North and West for leather, will make, her own leather. "There is no reason," said Mr. Shaw yesterday, "why we cannot make good leather as the Northern tanners. and we re going to do it; In fact our business has grown to that extent where It demands it " Charlotte has had no tan yard in eight or ten years. Mr. Jonas schiff owned the last one in these borders, and lust prior to him Mr. R. M. White. The late Mr. Peter Browu made money at a tan yard located in "Stump Town There is no reason why the gentlemen goirg into the business now should not make it pay. The tannery will be equipped with all modern machinery, and from 150 to 200 sides of leather turned out a week. Mr. Shaw goes to Morganton and other points in and out of the State next week on a kind of hide-an i-seek expedition: In addition to the tan yard, the new firm will add to its business a COLLAR FACTORY. Said Mr. G. A. Ho welf yesterday as he picked up a fine patent leather collar "Why should we send to New Jersey for these collars when we can make them right here in Charlotte?" The collar referred to was made by Mr. Howell's cousin in New Jersey, saddlery being the trade for several generations of the Howell family. A collar factory would have been add ed to the business some time ago, but for the lack of room In the present building. In this enlargement of their business. the Ohservkk congratulates the Sh w Harness Company, and hopes for them still greater success in all that they may undertake. "With ThannrfclvlnK and With a Hong.' The annual praise-meeting and thank- offering for missions will be held Tues day at 4:30 p. m., at the Second Fresby teriau church parlor.

One of the men was killed bv the pursuing party in this State. The man Goode, it seems, as was told by a man who accompanied him yester day, was with the convict; had sold a horse for him, not knowing who he was. and was supposed bv the officers to be the other convict. When they tried to arrest him, he beinir innocent, resisted arrest and knocked the officer down. jumped on his horse and was about to ride off when he was halted by several balls. He was taken in charge by the officer and, although mortally wounded was beinjr taken yesterday to Columbia in order that the party makiotr the ar rest could secu'e the reward. The man protested that he was not the convict. He was in a dyincr condition when here, and it was, thought would not live to get to Columbia. Christian Workers. Rev.
