THE .sAaLss0A PROSPECTS OF
,TsSEE ySsfSE,


The Ashevile Citizen in an extend
I'd review of the prospects of Western
Carolina declares that the greatest
desire Of the people Of that portion of
the State is the passage by the Legis-
lature of some act giving them a rail-
road.
Mr.. Tate's bill. however, which 70
poses to levy tax Of eight cents on
the hundred dollars worth OF property
to enable the State to buy the Western
Extension, is regarded with but little
favor while that of Mr.. Oaksmith,
which proposes Il tax of torty-two
cents Oh the hundred dollars, Is treated
| with very seaut respect. The fate OF
| Mr.. GudgeEs bill is awaited with
anxiety. It asks neither State bonds
nor money but simply permits the
North Carolina Railroad Co. to pur-
chase the Western North Carolina
| Road and to complete 1t. The heavy
Iucumhrances already on the Moth
Caro- ina Road viii. we think, prov.
an insurm ,uatab!e obstacle TO this
scheme
Tee next prospect considered i'y

A LITTLE GIRL STRANGLED TO
DEATH IN SAN FRANCISCO.
ATTEMPTED ROBBERY AND
MURDER AT HOLLISTER.

CARSON, July 81.
Mrs. Pursell, the woman who
came near dying yesterday from
poison taken, as many believed,
with suicidal intent, has entirely
recovered. She declares that she
took the dose, not for the purpose
of committing suicide, but to re-
lieve pain, she being subject to
temporary paralysis.
SAN Francisco, July 81.
About half-past five this after
noon a little girl named Emma
Tucker, 8 or 9 years of age, living
at 1425 Sacrapento street, met with
her death by strangulation. She
had climbed part of the way up a
boarded fence back of the house,
and put her head through a narrow
opening where one board had been
removed, lost her footing, was
caught by the neck between the
boards, and unable to release her
self Or cry for assistance, she was
slowly strangled to death, within
sound of her mothers voice. A
short time after her, mother going
out into the yard, found her hang
ing, dead.
HoLLIsTER, July 81.
The house of Joel Hawkins, a
quarter of q mile from here, was
entered last night by unknown per-
sons, who fired two shots at Haw-
kins, one taking effect just below
the eye, the other in the mouth.
Hawkins awaking, sprang at the
intruder, who fled, firing two more
shots, both wounding Hawkins.
The assassin made off and has not
yet been captured. Hawkins still
lives and may possibly recover.
The object of the would-be MUIR
derer is supposed to be plumber, as
Hawkins had drawn money from
the Bank. Louis Morgan was ar
rested on suspicion, but thought
not to be guilty.
