Raleigh News and Observer: When
it came u that Warren Vines Hall
had written the so-called impeachment
resolutions offered in the House yes
terday, that fact made the whole thing
a roaring farce AS a doorkeeper Of a
fusion legislature, or a sergeant AT
arms at a black and tan Radical con-
vention. Warren Vines is in his ele-
ment. When he essays 10 do anything
else, he shows his ears.

/ Charlotte Observer: Mr.. Will Bris-
see was painfully, and perhaps seri-
ously, hurt yesterday morning atCoch-
rane's stables, on East Trade street. A
drove CT horses was being housed at
the stable, when Mr.. Brissee. in pass
ing near n of the horses, was kicked
in the side. 1t is feared he is internal
ly lnjured.-The only case of freez-
ing which has been reported in this
section of the country since the cold
weather set in comes from Madge,
some miles east of Charlotte, in this
county. A communication to the OBJ
server from there yesterday states that
| Sam Phifer, who lives on Mr.. George
Smiths place, was found dead yester-
day morning On the highway. He had
been missing since Saturday, and it
was feared that something had befallen
him. Owing to the depth of the snow,
no n passed along the way that Phi
| fer had taken, and he was not found
until yesterday. A passer-by, who
was going to town, saw a buggy and
horse ahead of him and a nan standing
| by the buggy. AS he drew nearer he
| called to the man, but there was no
response. When he came to where the
man, buggy and horse were, he discov-
cred that the man was dead-frozen
stiff. The horse was still living, but
had to be priced out of the snow.
Charlotte News: Mr.. Hugh H. Prince
the we'll known travelling man, came
last night from Marion, N. c. He tells
a reporter of the News that the earth
quake was severe in Mcdowell county.
Mr.. Prince was, at the time of the
shock. in a Marion hotel. He was
awakened by the rocking of the build
ing. A boy who occupied another bed
in the same room also felt the shock.
1t frightened the young men so bad
that he was unable to get to sleep again
This morning as Chief Orr and Mr..
Geo. Clifford were going to the fire and
when they had reached Caldwell street,
a negro called their attention to the dog
which had just passed them and asked
them to kill it, as it was mad, and was
biting everybody and everything that
came in its way. Chief Orr at once
turned his horse around and started in
pursuit and only succeeded in killing
the vicious brute after having chased
it out near the park and then back to
the city. He fired at it five times and
says that at one time the crazed animal
jumped at him and he had to knock it
off with the butt of his pistol, and only
succeeded in putting a bullet in its
head after running it over two miles.
Up to the present writing there are
twelve persons who were bitten and
probably other cases will develop later
on.
