The usual quietness of our town was < broken on Saturday night by the shooting of his wife by John Coon, colored. She had been absent from home during the day and came home somewhat intoxicated. Some words were exchanged, aud she, going out on the street, was shot at by her husband. Four shots were fired, ODe of which took etfect in the arm, producing a flesh wound. Nothing serious resulted from the shot. 1 Mr Hin?h CamD. trainman on the southern-bound freight, was knocked j down on top of the train by the overhead bridge at this place about 11.30 ' a. m. today. His skull was fractured and was pressing down on the brain, above and somewhat to the rear of the right eye, in the edge of the hair. There was another fracture of about three inches above the right ear, extending from the front to the rear of the ear. The fracture was of such width that one could pass the little finger between it. He received a second blow on the back of the bead wheD falling on the car. This does not show any fracture, but may have given in? ternal injury which does not show it? self at present. Dr. Hunter introduced his probe and raised the skull from pressure ou the brain. He seems to be resting well at this writing. He has not been unconscious since the accident. His home is at or near Grover, and this was his first run.?Correspondence Charlotte Observer. A Youthful Fiend. Deputy Sheriff Scarborough lodged a youthful murderer in jail at Dar* lington Tuesday.
