TUESDAY EVENING,
BOLD BURQLARS.
A Nsgro with a Falsa Beard a Foot Long
. lavadas a Sick Room.
Some bad characters are still roam
ing about Charlotte. Two Ineffectual
attempts at burglary have been mad
during the past lew nights. The at
tempt was bold in each instance
Mrs. Hotly resides on Smith street,
between toth and nth streets, with
her three daughters.. The members
of the family were sitting fat the
house Sunday night and were pre
paring to retire, when one of the girls
beard a noise at a window. She
went to investigate, and saw a negro
man climbing into the room through
a window which he had. opened.
The girl screamed and the negro
dropped to the ground and escaped
in the darkness. .
Mr. James Hornbarrier is lying
very low at his home on Graham
street Mis. J. M. Kendrick and
her daughter, Miss Mamie Kendrick,
were sitting up with the alck man.
Mrs. Kendrick had stepped from the
room for a moment, and during her
absence Miss Mamie heard footfalls
just outside the door. A moment
later she was frightened by seeing
big burly negro open the door and
attempt to pick up a lot of cloaks
and shawls that were just Inside the
door. The screams of the young
lady brought the inmates of the house
to the scene, bat the burglar- had
escaped. He was a big, black n
era. and wore a false beard a foot
long. The police have been work
ing up these cases, but hav as yet
met with but little success. .

Laughter and merriment wul reign
supreme at the Opera House on next
Thursday evening, the tth but, the
occasion being the appearance in
Charlotte of the famous humorous
playamf runniest of modern farcical
comedies, "Skipped by the Light ci
the Moon." This production has
been n laughing sensation in all the
principal cities of America,' from
New York to San Francisco Since
the play was last seen here many
new features, new' specialties and all
1 music have been introduced,
and in fas present form It is every
where spoken of as being the fun
niest conception that has yet as
sumed that shape. The New York
Telegram says: "That the piece is
fonay most not be even hinted; for
lh word funny does not fill the bill
or describe the play. It is a phan.
taMnagoriaot mirth, a regular empo
rium of laughing gas. Moreover, it
is performed with a slap, daah and
rusk that ar captivating andiniec-
tioua. One has scarcely time to J
breathc between laughs, and naught '
is left in the minds ol toe spectator
an hour after the performance ex
cent the recurrent echo of uncoa-
troOabl laughter."

The people of Augusta appear to
be somewhat disgruntled over the
deal between the Richmond & Dan
Ville and the Atlantic Coast Line
roads. "When the Richmond and
Danville Railroad purchased the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Road," says the Augusta "corres
pondent of the News and Courier,
"the Atlantic Coast Line proposed
building a branch of their road from
Sumter to Augusta so they could
have an inlet to this city. Their
proposed work was commenced and
the road has been built sixteen miles
from Sumter, to n point just south
of the Wateree swamp, and is now
being operated. When that much
ol the road was completed, the
Richmond and Danville Road
agreed to haul all, and at any time,
the cars of the Coast Line to Au
gusta, which has checked the pro
gress of the proposed line. The
Coast Line has graded their road
four miles south of the Wateree
swamp, to Orangeburg, and the
work is now about stopped, as only
s few hands are kept at work upon
it The officials of the Coast Line
'are not in such a hurry now to com
plete the line, as they have auch a
good covenant with the Richmond
and Danville Road, but the people
of Augusta are anxious for the road
to b finished, for they want a com
petitive h'ne, and are indignant over
the discrimination of the Richmond
and Danville Road in sending the
New York sleeper to Aiken instead
of Augusta."
