New Enterprise,

We were shown on Saturday, plan
and specifications for IA fire proof ware.
house now being erected on Jackson
street above the old Va. depot, by Col.
&. NJ. McGhee, to be occupied when
completed by Allison d McClung, a. a
produce and grain warehouse. The
building is to have two fronts one inn
mediately on the track of Il. Il. Va. d
Ga. II. r., and the other on Jackson
street. 1t is to be made rat and fire
proof. To have front of fifty feet
and an extreme depth of one hundred
and sixty-two feet, two stories high
built of brick, with fire rolls and t.
be covered with slate, doors and win
dow shutters to be of iron. 1t is de-
signed by the men who have the build.
ing in charge to make 1t literally fire
proof, and in erecting this building
they are supplying the farmers of East
Tennessee with storage for their grain,
where it will be safe, and where they
can afford to hold their produce fol-
higher markets. Such an enterprisei
Knoxville has long needed. The ca
pacity of the building will be abou
POO, 900 bushels of grain.
AS to the style of the archit Cturt
and the character of the work to he
done, we need only say that Mr.. J. +
Bowman, an architect of no small
reputatiO and with considerable expe'
rience, drew the plans, and has been
employed by Mr.. McGhee to superin
tend the construction of the building
while Messrs. Allison g. McClung are
having the work done. They propose
to have patent hosting apparatus in
the building, and large railroad scales
in front of it, That the enterprise will
be a grand success there can be nc
doubt, and we hope that the energy
manifested by Messrs. Allison d Me
Chung will be rewarded by heavy
increase of their present large business
BY their indomitable will and energy
they have built up good business, anC
we predict that by the present enter
prise they will largely increase it,

FOREIGN NEWS.
Great European Powers to Prevent
Carlist Atrocities.
Melton TO Dissolve the French ASSN
by Defeatd.

LONDON, July $3.50 A. M.-The
Niena journals state that Austria has
received circular note from Germany
urging the great powers to combine to
prevent the continuance of Carlist atro>
cities in Spain and has given favora-
BILE reply.
The Morning Post asserts that Ger
many will propose in the Brussels Con-
gress the recognition of the present
government in Spain.
PARIS, July 29.-In the Assembly
to-day the debate on motions for the
dissolution, adjourned from Monday,
was resumed, De Peire opposed the
dissolution of the Assembly. He al
legged that the motions were made in
revenge for the votes by which the Re
public and the PlebiscIte had been re-
jected. Chabaud la Tour, Minister of
the Interior, also spoke against the
dissolution. He reminded the Assem-
bly, that by the law of March. 1873, ii
was pledged to vote the Constitutional
laws before it dissolved. When the
Presidents powers are organized the
Deputies could appeal to their con
stituents without endangering public
order. DuVal and others supported
the motions, arguing that uneasiness
caused by the present unsettled condi.
ton Of affairs paraized trade, and the
only remedy was to appeal to the peo.
Pile. A vote was taken aud Male.
ville's motion was defeated by 332 yeas
to 374 nays. A similar motion, offered
by DuVal, was then withdrawn.
The L'Temp states that England and
Germany and Italy have agreed to es.
tablish joint surveillance over the
Spanish frontiers.

APOOR nODGE.
Trying TO scare Somebody out Of n
Vote.

The opposition are now trying to
make little capital out Of the fact
that the colored residents aud voters of
this county who are temporarily all.
sent from their homes, working on the
Cincinnati road, are to be brought here
to vote on Thursday. The dodge is
very plain. The fact is that an agent
for Democratic candidates has been out
on the line of that road for some weeks
drumming up every voter, white or
colored who would agree to vote their
ticket. We have no objections to
make toit. Every voter VINO is tenn
porarly absent and comes home has
the right to vote and we see no reason
why they should not come and eXer-
else that right. But it does not be-
come the organ of the Democracy to
cry out about it as its friends began
the work.
So for as Illegal voters is concerned
we have only to say that none such
should or will vote. That is very well
understood. But threats were made
yesterday, that none of these men
should vote That game is about over
in this section. Men who are entitled
to vote will of course vote If they
rant to and all threats to the contrary
are foolish and idle, and the men who
make them may as well understand
that to begin with. This is a poor
time and place to try to carry an cleo
ton by brag or threats. Lawful voter
absent from home have been brought
home to vote in hundreds of elections
before this here and elsewhere,as every
sensible man knows. So that no capt
tai can be made out of that story.

That Fever.

The Kingston East 7ennesseean,
speaking of the fever in Roane cOun~
", heretofore mentioned, says:
Less than one week ago, the fami-
ly of Mr.. VIM. Rice consisted of seven
husband, wife and five children,
and to-day but one remains-a boy
ten or twelve years Of age. One day
a son. the next a daughter died /; the
following day two more children gave
up the ghost, then followed the father
and the next day the neither. until
there remains but the one boy"
So far as we can learn, this terrible
fever has not as yet been named by tn,
ROane county medical profession.

Why do people dose themselves with
gallons of liver medicines, and dose
themselves for months before they
feel the effects of the remedy? Why
torture themselves with villainous
compounds that are nauseOus to the
taste, that grippe you almost to death,
when you can reach the liver with
one dose of DIR. Harris Great Blood
and Liver Pills? They are purely veg
etable. They act like magic-n0 had
etiects-no poisonous minerals enter
their composition. Or why pay one
dollar a bottle for liver medicines,
when you obtain Harris Pills for %
cents?

WASHINGTON.
Condition of Affairs at Vicksburg

CODOlIlOn OF AuulrS ut NlCkSDurR
WASHINGTON, july 3l.-A dispatch
from Vicksburg says of the action of
the Government in refusing to send
the military to Nicksburg that EXecu-
tive powers of the State still persist in
the statement that the public peace is
endangered.
Gov. Ames, who has been away from
his post, has returned, and to-day he
telegraphed to President Grant reiter-
ating in the main the apprehension set
forth in the kilograms and mail, the
advices previously forwarded by Lieut..
Governor Davis. He makes no for
NAL demand for troops, but the tenor
of his dispatch is such as to intimate
that he desires Federal troops to be
called to Nicksburg on election day.
In the meantime almost every mail
brings protests from reputable citizens
of Nicksburg deeming the action of
executive officers as unwarranted and
without cause, other than to intimi-
date voters. The dispatch received
to-day was forwarded to President
! Grant, but up to the close of the Depart
ment yesterday no reply had been re-
ceived. The correspondence and dis
| patches on the subject will be made
public by the War Department after
| the President has rendered his final
| decision as to what course he will
persue in the matter. They are quite
voluminOus.
The President Defines TO Move
Troops.

ing Is telegram of Governor Ames,
of Mississippi, to the President, in re-
lation to the Vicksburg troubles:

To President t. S. Grant, Washing
ton, ID. O.
| regret to inform you that | find
upon returning here, that serious and
alarming condition OF affairs exists
at Nicksburg. Infantry and cavalry
organizations exist, and il is reported
that number OF pieces of artillery
have been sent to the city; and these
bodies, organized aud armed, without
authority and in violation of the law
assume TO be guardians of the peace
This Is a political controversy-ont
side, the Democrats, represented by
the whites, claim they fear frauds Oh
the part of their opponents. The Re
publicans, consisting mainly of blacks
claim that they fear frauds, and alsC
violence, on the part of the Democrats

puhlicans but by the Democrats. 1t il

Terence.
From Sevierville correspondent un-
der date of July 18th, we learn that
on the evening of the 9th, Sevierville
was visited with an overflow of Mid
die Creek, and that the streets was un-
der water from Mr.. Catletts nearly to
the court house, the stream being
nearly knee deep. 1t is said that some
of the people were considerably fright
ened, as it reminded them of the
flood which swept through their streets
some years back. The rain fell very
hard from Q o'clock A. NJ. 10 p. NJ,
and about > o'clock z. NJ, the creek
overlooked, and the water ran down
back of the town and through the lots
of the Methodist church and j. l..
Randles. One man in riding around
to see all that can be seen at a flood,
while attempting to cross little
bridge his horse slipped off and both
horse and rider went under water.
Both, however, escaped unihjured.
The Sevierville people have been
looking forward to the meeting of the
District Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, with much
interest, rs they expect to have a good
time, religiously speaking. The Con.
! ference met yesterday, and Bishop
Pierce, left yesterday morning at
o'clock to attend it.
