with the River Lighterage Company to
take the superintendency of Messrs Walker,
Fleming Il Sloan's cotton compress at
Charlotte, N. G. The compress, which is a
new one, has not been finished, but will be
in about ten days. The selection of Mr..
Rutzler for this important position
is good one, as he will bring to the new
position years of experience in the COM
press business in this city. He has aided in
putting up every compress in this city ex-
cept the two new ones just built, and has
had quite an extensive experience both
with hydraulic and steam presses He was
also superintendent of the Central railroad
compress at Columbus, Ga, and was for
years identified with the old Central oom-
press under the late Sheldon Wight, and the
Charlotte people are fortunate in securing
his services. Mr.. Rutzler will leave to-
morrow night for his new home, and his
family will follow later Oh. His removal
from Savannah will be regretted by his
many friends. but Charlotte has gained a
good citizen.

TIE MORNING NEWS mentioned day or
two ago that party Of young ladies had
visited the new court house and listened for a
short time to the first argument which was
heard before Judge Falligant in the new

Plumber Hidden Under a West Broac
Street Church.

Plumber Hidden Under a West Broad
Street Church.
An Italian who keeps fruit stand on
West Broad street, b tween Roberts and
CASTOR, was robbed Thursday night of a
quantity of fruits and nuts. Friday morn
ing little white girl was looking for hens
nest under the Mount Zion Baptist church
when she discovered a nest OF a different
character. A hole had been burrowed out
under the church, and had the look of hav-
ing been recently occupied, as a pile Of
bed clothes was near at hand. In one
corner lay the property which had been
stolen from the fruit stand the night before.
The girl told Mike Drury of her discovery,
and he determined to capture the thief on
his own account and have some
fun in the bargain. He got him gun and
loaded it with shells containing mustard
seed. Early that night he took his stand,
gun in hand. The members of Mount Zion
church were holding q meeting inside, but
Drury did not allow this to interfere with
his plans. About o'clock ne saw a black
figure creep into the NEST" and presently
emerge with large sack upon its shoulders
In the dim light Drury saw that the figure
was that of short black negro.
Halt Drury called out
Instead of halting, the thief dropped bis
sack aud had just lifted his heels for a 2 4O
gait down West Broad street. when Drury
let him have a charge of the mustard seed
at about five paces the load striking him in
the rear. the negro gave yell that
was heard for five blocks and kept on his
flight like deer, yelling at every jump.
he shot and the cries brought the congrega-
ton out of the church like a swarm of bees,
and there was great excitement in the
neighborhood. Instead of approaching
Drury's disinterested action in endeavorinx
to secure the thief the worshipers were
greatly enraged because their devotions had
been disturbed, aud there was talk of
having Drury arrested for disturbing pub
lie worship. The Italian secured his fruit.
