HEAVY WORK OF THE STORMS UPTHE
WESTERN NORM CAROLINA RAILROAD.
Besides the destruction of two t~restles
BY the rain storm, there were five large
land,ldes, some of which completely
covered the track for fifty and a hundred
yards. One of our citizens, who took
his departure last Wednesday for Ashe-
vile, returned yesterday, having been IN
able to get beyond Round Knob. The
hotel at that place, he says, is crowded
with delayed travellers, waiting for the
road to get clear, and with two t~restles
gone and about a mile of slides on the
track ahead, he concluded to come back
home and wait for the blockade to be
raised. Thursday night, a big crowd
from Raleigh and other points arrived at
Salisbury on the way to Asheville, but
the news of the accident did not deter
them and they went On to swell the
throng at Round Knob. The hotel at
this place is said to be an excellent one,
rates reasonable, and is doing good ser
vice in accommodating the delayed tour
lists and pleasure seekers. Among the
crowd who are caught this side of Ashe-
vile are a large number of the western
delegates to the late State convention.
The travellers are not compelled to stay
at Round Knob, as they can stage it
across the mountains to a point beyond
the break and take the train for Ashe-
vile. Trains will run regularly between
Salisbury and Round Knob until the
slides are cleared and the ~trestles restored.
One Of the ~trcstles washed away is To-
Gated between Round Knob aud Black
Mountain, and the other is just a little
distance ahead, between Black Mountain
and Cooper's Station. The slides are
located all along the road in the neigh
borhood of these places. All this disas-
trouS work was the result Of the storm
last Tuesday night, which was one of the
most terrific and destructive that has Wis
tied the mountain country In many years.
1t was coLined TO a comparatively small
portion Of the mountains, or the damage
would have been much greater. -C Char
