MARRIED ON A MOVING TRAIN.
Another Instance of the Fact that the
Old Folks Always Get Beat Out.

Another Instance of the Fact that the
Old Folks Always Get Beat Out.
From the Charlotte News
Among the guests registered at the
Central Hotel Thursday were Mr..
and Mrs. j. j. Mattheson, Blenheim,
S. c. They got here on a hop, skip
and a jump schedule and breathed
freely when once safely ensconsed at
the Central. They were married on a
train running on full schedule time
Mr.. Mattheson is a son of one of
the most prominent merchants of
Bennettsville, and he was in love with
Miss Mcleod, of Blenheim, a town
near Bennettsville, but Miss Nc
Leod's family objected. Miss Nc
Leod is II years Of age and very
pretty. A few days ago she decided
to visit friends at Sanford, this State,
and the old folks escorted her to
Bennettsville, the nearest railroad
station, bought her ticket to San
ford, kissed her goodbye and wished
her a pleasant trip. When the train
stopped at Tatum, six miles from
Bennettsville, Mr.. Mattheson, ac-
companied by a minister, got on
board, and hardly had the train got
under way when the preacher called
the car to order. Mr.. Mattheson
and Miss Mcleod stood up before
him in the aisle of the car, and in the
presence of car full of people were
made man and vile. The minister
got off at the next station, and in
stead of Miss Mcleod going to San
ford, she came to Charlotte as the
bride of Mr.. Mattheson. The couple
left this morning on the return home,
to have it out with the old folks.

AT 5:45 Thursday afternoon Char
ley Blackman, found guilty of mnr-
dering his wife, was brought before
the court for sentence. Asked what
he had to say why sentence should
not be pronounced upon him, he re-
piled, that he was not guilty, that
the shooting was not intentional.
Judge Whitaker then said:
''It is adjudged by the court that
the prisoner, Charley Blackman, be
remanded to the custody of the sher-
if of Guilford county, to be by him
safely kept in the common Jail of
said county until Thursday, the 14th
day of July, 1892, on which day,
between the hours of ten o'clock in
the forenoon and two O'Clock in the
afternoon, he, the said Charley
Blackman, shall be taken by the
said sheriff to the place provided by
the commissioners of Guilford county
for the execution of criminals, and
there be hanged by the neck until he
is dead"
During the sentence the condemn
ed man stood perfectly quiet, show
ing no signs of fear, though his face
grew almost white. He was then
removed to the Jail, where he has
just fortv-one days to live. in which
time it behooves him to make his
peace with Goo, and be prepared.

TO BECOME AN ERONAUT.

Miss Joaquin Became infatuated with
the Business After Seeing Prof ZeInO.
From the Charlotte Observer.l
The balloonists leave this morning
for Winston. They take with them
a pleasant reminder of Charlotte in
the person of Miss Della Joaquin, who
decided to become a female 2ronaut,
after witnessing the successful trips
made by Prof. Zelno. The fact that
Miss Joaquin was to become one of
the @ronautic party was kept as
secret as possible, but The Observer
dropped on to it yesterday. After
the ball game Profs. Hutchison and
Zelno were seen and asked about the
matter. They said yes, a young lady
would leave here with them, but at
first would not tell her name After
little, Prof Zelno said the lady was
there inside the tent, and probably
she would speak for herself. He went
in, and in q minute out walked a
young girl about fifteen or sixteen
years old, whom the reporter recog-
niZed as a member OF the Second
Presbyterian Sunday school, and an
attendant at the graded school. In
answer to questions she stated that
she had become possessed with the
desire to become an Rronaut, after
witnessing the ascensions of Prof.
Zelno, and thai she had her mothers
written consent to 60, Prof. Zelno
having the paper in his keeping. She
had no fears about making the as
tensions, as she would go up first
with the professor
Miss Joaquin is the step-daughter OF
Mr.. w. A. Joaquin, but goes by his
name. She is rather petite, a bru-
nette, and quite pretty. She will
travel with Prof. Hntchison and wife
Grace Shannon-and will not at
tempt an ascension for some time.
She seemed delighted with her pros
pective trils to the clouds.

Mr.. Kurtz told the physician that
it was useless to call, as Mrs. Kurtz
refused to administer the medicine
In the mean time she had several
''faith" doctors visit the child, but
she continued to grow worse. Mr..
Kurtz being asked who was doctor
ing the child replied, "God and Lizzie
Kurtz"
Last week Mr.. Kurtz informed his
wife that the faith cure business

An unknown negro attempted to
assault the eight yea old daughter Of
Mr.. John Parks, a farmer living
near granite quarry about 9 O'Clock
yesterday morning. The little girl
was at her play house some distance
from her residence, and being away
longer than usual the parents be-
came uneasy and called her but re-
ceived no reply. Starting to hunt
her, the father caught the negro in
the brutal attempt. He fed making
his escape. The little child says the
negro would not let her answer the
calls of her parents. Mr.. Parks
came to town at once for blood
hound to follow the villain but did
not get one. The people in the
neighborhood are highly indignant
over the affair and are searching for
the negro. IF found swift justice
will probably be meted to him.

Brinkly has usually affiliated with

There was a good sprinkling of
Republicans in the meeting and this
makes the situation more complica-
ted. 1t is well known that there are
two factions of Republics MS in this
county, one led by Eaves men and
the other by Mott men, that have no
love for each other. The presence
ofss SO many Republicans here
would seem to indicate that this dis
cord will result in e considerable
flop of Republicans to the Thirc

So far there has been no public
intimation of a fusion on a county

licans, but in view of the develop
ments of Saturday this would not be
surprising.

BUSINESS GOOD.
A Busy Week With Warehouses and
Manufacturers.

A Busy Week With Warehouses and
Manufacturers.
The TIC bacco Journal reports that
the receipts of leaf tobacco this
week have been quite heavy for this
season of the year. Wagon trade
was plentiful, while the receipts by
railroad were quite heavy.
Tobacco was in good condition,
tending somewhat to softness. The
quality of the leaf offered was little
improved if anything-some extra
good lots coming in direct from the
wagon. The same scarcity of wrap
pers and fine filters, however, was
still noticeable.
Bidding was quite active. The
trade has gotten down again to its
normal state after the dissipations of
commencement week. Home and
outside manufacturers were active
bidders on all good working stock
every pile of which went off at very
strong prices. 1t is a general opin-
ion that the great bulk of the crop is
about sold and that receipts from
now on will not be heavy.
The season of this week enabled
handlers to build good deal of their
stock which was hanging.
The showery weather has been
quite helpful to the planters. The
most of the crop is now set and is
growing off beautifully. Thus far
the weather has been quite favorable
for the plant setting and good stands
generally are reported.
Business in manufacturing circles
is good, the following statement of
stamp sales indicating the amount of
shipments this week:
