Mr. Christian, of the Charlotte
Democrat, has had his turn with the
burglars. He lives on West Trade
street, near the new passenger stadon
of the Richmond & Danville road,
and his premises have been invaded
quite frequently of late. The first
night the thieves stole his axe, and
the next night they came back and
stole a lot of wood upon which to
exercise the axe. Last Tuesday
night, they came back with the in
tention of getting still closer to the
editor.
Mr. Chrittian was aroused that
night by a noise at a window, and
rising in bed be saw the form ot a
negro silhoutted in a window frame.
The negro had climbed to the roof
ol the porch, had raised a window
and was just then in the act ol enter
ing the room. Mr. Christian bad no
firearms of any sort, but quickly
springing trom bed he picked up a
stick of wood and hurled it with all
bis mieht at the intruder. The billet
Iru the negro in the breast and
knocked him from the window. He
leaped from the roof of the porch to
the ground and fled in the darkness.
When Mr. Christum came up town
yesterday morning, the first thing he
did was to invest in a double barreled
shot gun. He loaded the weapon
with buckshot and carried it home,
and the next time a burglar gets into
his house. The Niws will be rood

Tba Mew Solicitor.
Col. John E. Brown yesterday
afternoon received a telegram from
Raleigh, announcing that he had
been appointed - Solicitor , for the
Criminal Court of Mecklenburg coun
ty, in place of Mr. Geo. E. Wilson,
who declined to serve longer in that
capacity. Col. Brown's opponent
for the place, was Capt Geo. F.
Bason, a clever gentleman and a
bright lawyer, and who gave the
Colonel a warm race. Col. Brown
is one of the oldest members of the
Charlotte bar, js a lawyer of ability,
and will, no doubt, make a good and
faithful officer. He is a brother-in-law
to Stonewall Jackson.
Mr. Wilson has held the office of
Solicitor since the establishment of
the Criminal Court, and has dis
charged the arduous duties of that
position with signal ability. He
made a most successful Solicitor, and
won many a hard fought case againat
odds. Me retires from the office
with a good record. Mr. Wilson's
increasing practice required bis sole
attention, and for that reason he de
clined to longer serve as Solicitor.
The Senate in executive session
yesterday confirmed CoL Brown's
nomination, and nbo that of Capt.
T. R. Robertson, as clerk for an
other term. Capt Robertson has
made a splendcd officer. The News
and Observer editorially says:
"Charlotte will be well served by
Messrs. Jno. E. Brown and T. R.
Robertson as solicitor and clerk re
spectively of her criminal court The
appointments were conspicuously fit

talented, able and popular. Mr.
Wilsoa, the predecessor of Mr.
Brown, declintd to stand lor reap
