MILITIA ORDERED ON DUTY.
The Governor OF North Carolina Responds to
Request for Military Aid.


A Raleigh On. c. special of the 23d says
In February Edward Ray and w. A. An
derson murdered three men. and were
pursued ceaselessly for three weeks. Ten
days ago they came IN aud surrendered to
the Judge OF the Superior Court, and were
placed In jail at Asheyille. The jail is an
old structure. from which a number Of
prisoners have escaped by means of outside
aid. 1t was expected week ago that there
would be trouble about keeping Ray and
Anderson secure. and the military at Ashe-
Vile were notified to be ready to go on
duty. This morning Governor Jarvis was
greatly surprised at receiving a telegram
from Solicitor Ferguson, at Henderson
willie, stating that Judge Graves, Of the
Superior Court, had received reliable IN
formation that Ray and Anderson had arms
al hand, and would attempt TO escape;
that friends OF the parties had arrived and
would aid them in the attempt, and that
matters wore q serious aspect. He asked
that the prisoners be removed to-day to
Hendersonville, and that the company OF
troops at Asheville be ordered on duty to
guard the Jail and assist in the removal OF
the prisoners. Governor Jarvis at once
ordered Captain Weaver, of the Asheville
Light Infantry, to aid the sheriffs OF Bun
combe and Henderson counties in the
removal Of the men. The Governor says
the prisoners ought to be safe in the jail in
Asheville. as it stands in the centre OF the
place, which has population Of four
thousand, and public sentiment is against
the men,

A dispatch from Columbia, S. c., says
For some time past strange roaring noise
has been heard upon the plantation of Nj
chOlas Colvin, in Halsellville, Chester cOun-
ty, but 1t was not until few days ago that
the place whence the sound came was To-
Gated. This is q hole in the ground OF about
ten inches in diameter. the depth OF which
cannot be ascertained. Smoke from this
opening rises in dense column, and for a
distance Of twenty yards around the
ground is In heated condition. The ne
groes Of the neighbOrhood are in wild
state OF terror. declaring that the judgment
day is at hand. The white people also are
at loss TO explain the phenomenon.
To-day party OF six sturdy farmers as
sembled at the scene OF the threatening
volcano with spades, picks. and shovels,
and proceeded to dig for the mystery. A
depth OF eight feet was reached, when the
smoke and heat became so intense that il
was found impractlcable TO dig any deeper.
Some people think that il is indeed vol
cano, while others say 1t is geyser, judy
ing from the yapors which rise from the
hole and the moistened state Of the earth
surrounding 1t. The roaring noise can
now be heard four or five miles. The
country is hilly and rolling, some Of the
bills reaching almost the proportions Of
mountains. The phenomenon has caused
great excitement throughout that section,
and hundreds OF people are docking TO

This good old man lived there was sum-
mer hotel, which was patronized cousidera-
bly during the season, young Harry Packer
often taking his meals there. A young
girl named Lockwood. the daughter OF
respectable citizen living near the village,
came in TO ASSIST waiting on the table. The
frequency OF Harry Packers meals at the
hotel attracted some attention, and his
brother Robert, or " Bob" as he was fami-
I;arly and affeciionately called by almost all
who ever knew him, said one day before
the father and Harry at the breakfast-table
that Harry was sweet on q little girl down
at the hotel, and that was the reason he did
not come TO his meals regularly. Harry
colored I'D little, and after they had I'M
ished their breakfast the old Judge seated
himself on the front porch. which over

said the Judge, and picking up bis old

bled down TO the hotel and asked for Miss
Lockwood. She innocently came in the
Office OF the hotel, with her di7ing-room
apron on, and seated herself beside the
Judge. Just what he said to her, or she to
him, will never be exactly known unless
she tells it, but when the Judge came out
he was smiling and appeared mighty well
pleased. He went home and found Harry
still sitting on the porch where he had
left him. BY this time the Judges face
had resumed its usual grave but kind eX-
preston. "Well. Harry" he said, "that
Is a very nice girl down there, but she has
no money. We must raise her some."
The old Judge put down his memoranda
for $50, 900, the mother and the others for
$4,000 each, and this $4,000 was placed
in the bank to the exclusive and immediate
credit of Miss Lockwood. The engage

tie yeranda at the second story OF the
house, and then, with wonderful agility,
climbed on a shutter, through binding
smoke, to the third-story window, where
the woman was Just about TO leap down.
AS he stepped into the window he grasped
the frightened woman firmly by the arms
and drew her gently but forcibly away
from her dangerous position. At the same
instant he was greeted with tremendous
cheer by those who had watched his haz-
ardous course from below. Thus was the
life OF Mrs. q. NJ. Maxwell saved from the
burning building at 90 east Twelfth street
