THE CEMETERY QUESTION.
There are several measures to be un-
dertaken here essential 30 the well-be-
ing of the town; some Of pressing neces-
sity, some that may be postponed until
more convenient season; but an of
which must be provided for in due
course of time, not to be prolonged into
too remote a future. In the fist class is
public cemetery, not a want, but a
need. For the demands of mortality
press not always with equal weight, but
with equal certainty upon all conditions
of men; and no community is so fortified
by its healthy environments as to ex-
clude death. Death comes into all com
munities, and upon ali men in their
turn; and with inevitable death seomes
inevitable sepuEure, to be provided for
by the living.
A strange and startling fact stanas out
in the present history of Asheville, that
it has no public cemetery; and the resc-
lutions adopted by religious corporations,
originating in municipal regard for pub
lie health, practically close their grounds
as private burial grounds.
The wisdom of forbidding the building
of crowded cities of the dead among the
crowded and constantly increasing living
is no longer open to question. The pub
lie mind hasacquiesced in the propriety,
| in fact, the necessity of the disjunction of
Ithe aHick and the dead. a very recent
case, to which we can only allude, brings
lup the subject In very startling way.
The question comes up, which must be
answered. What are we to do with our
dead? We cannot take them away to
| impose their precious remains upon the
guardianship of others We ought not
deny the unfortunate stranger the rites
due to humanity, nor refuse them an rn-
contested place in the quiet bosom of
mother earth. Yet.the municipal laws
and the resolutions of religious bodies
present us the alternatives of resistance
to the law and contempt of resolutions,
or the bearing away to distant graves
the remains ofthose whose resting places
we would fam keep hallowed, watered
with tears, or made bright with flowers.
Which alternative shall we take or
rather, shall We not adopt another alter
native, and purchase suitable grounds
convenient to the town, ample enough
for all purposes, ample enough for these
sad uses and also for adornment; for the
pietY of affection joined with the infiu-
ences of good taste combine in modern
days to make these spots beautiful as
we'll as hailowed, rather. than the dismal
scenes of uptufned clay or glitteriHg files
of monumental marble. Such spot can
be purchased. Years ago when popula-

4 MURDER NEAR COOP-

The occasion of the visit of DR.. Wat
son, the coroner of this county, to Coop.
er's ior the purpose Of holding an in.
quest to which we referred in yesterdays
issue, is explained TO large extent by
information received to which we are
largely indebted to Capt w. D. sprague
The following are the leading facts:
On Thursday night, two brothers
Charles and John York, we're on their
return home near Cooper's. from Ashe.
vile, where they had been to- haul a
load of lu1lber. They were driving an
OK team Both were nsalking Both
had been drinking freely. 4 man who
travelled with leH1 to within five miles
of Cooper's, saye they quafreled with
each other the whole time he was with
them When they had approached
within speaking distance of their home,
(they lived in the same house, John be-
ing married, Charles single) the wife OF
John heard a noise as of cattle running,
and opening the door, heard the voice
of her husband pleading with his broth
er not to stab him.; She ran out scream
ing, but before she reached her husband
ne was On the ground IN the agOnleS OF
death. Her screams brought neighbors
to the spot, who assisted in bearing the
wounded man to the house, but he was
dead when borne through the door.
The brother, in explanation of the
stabbing, said that his brother was walk
ing along whiting one of the standards
of the wagon, and tripping his toe, fell,
and the. open knife pierced his heart.
The utter falsity and real impossibility
of this has since been made perfectly ev-
ident.
Charles York was arrested yesterday
and is now held under a strong guard,
awaiting the result of the jury of Inquest.
DIR. Watson: empanelled the jury yes
terday and opened the Investigation at
once. Our last information is that the
jury is still engaged in its labors. The
evidence SO far seems to develop the
fact of a murder committed. The de-
ceased had a knife cut which passed
through the heart, and his coat was
gashed with knife in several places,
disproving the suggestion of accident.
The inference is that it was murder COM
mitted under the influence ofliquor, to
which both brothers were addicted.

NEVER WAS KNOWN TO FAIL.


They had been enemies for three long
years. They passed each other on the
street with stern faces, their wives made
fun of each others dresses, and the
children climbed up on the back fence
and called each other shoddy axistocrats.
Oh, no, there was no dove Of peace
around there, and lots of people predict
ed that q case of assassination would
grow out of it. Last evening q whole
neishborhood was astonished beyond
measure. These two families who had
thursted for each others scalps were
seen in sweet convention on the lawn.
Tha men exchanged cigars, the women
admired each others latest purchase.

the change come about? Well, neither
man ever owned Q horse in his life. and
neither knew q case of SPAWN from 8

decided, however, to buy horse. He
was looking one over at his hitching-
post when Smith came along. In q
moment of forgetfulnees Jones remarked;
"Say, Smith, you know all about . horse.
How old is this animal?" In the jerk of
q comets tail rancor and bitterness we're
forgotten. The fattery hit Smith plum
center and ripped all the buttons of his
pentup eoul. He obeyed the request,
pointed out ell the ringbones, stiff knees
and splints, and advised Jones not to

Mistaken Ideniey.

Let Us go back to 1890, to q French
case, that the Martin Guerre, which
came before the parliament of Toulouse
in that year, and certainly sounde more
like a fiction than true story. Martin
Guerre, foolish man, left his home and
wife for eight years. Thereupon one Ar
nauld Dutile made his appearance, bear
ing great resemblance to the Grant Mar
tin, was received by the wife as her hus-
band, and took possession of the proper
ty. Children were born to them, and
for three years Arnauld Dutille was &C
cepted by Nine. Guerre, and Martins
four sisters and two brothers-in-law, as
her lawful husband. The matter, how
ever, fell into dispute, and then came
the tug of war. Hundreds of witnesses
were examined, and of thoee some forty
swore that the impostor was Martin
Guerre, while as many were equally pos
tive that he was Arnauld putile, and
again number of judicious persons tes-
titled that the men were so much alike
that they could not decide which was
before them. The judges were naturally
very much puzzled, and Arnauld Dutille
brazening the matter out with consum-
mate etfrontery, they were positively on
the point of deciding in his favor when
the'real "Simon Pure" appeared on the
scene. Martin Guerre claimed his own,
and the imposture collapsed.
Equally curious in its way was the
claim of Pierre Mege, q soldier, to be the
son of certain Sieur de Caille who had
fed 10 the Savoy, being Protestant, on
the revocation of the edict of Nantes.
His son died in De Caille's presence at
Vevay, but neverthsles the impostor
was after q trial declared to lie the said
son. in spite of documentary evidence
from Switzerland of the maus death
The wife of Mege, however, let out her
secret, and on an appeal the parliament
of Paris decided against him. This i'm
posture, as has been pointed out, was in
many respects like the Tichborne case,
for there seem to have been no points Of
resemblance at all between the two men
Another cause tried in France was that
of Baronet, who was condemned to the
galleys on the false evidence of his sis
ter, who had taken possession of his
property, but he afterward regained his
rights, mainly owing to the evidence Of
Louis, q celebrated surgeon ofthe period

LIFE IN A FLAT.

Texas Sifungs.
Judge Kennebunker, a cynical old
bachelor, lives with his dog in the hall
room of q New York fst. As he was
looking out of his window, Miss Vanpelt
who lives on the fiat below, stuck her
head out of her window, and called up:
"Your nasty dog barks all night"
"But be doesn't play on the piano all
day."
The lower windows came down with q
bang that sounded like safe being
blown open.

A Great Law Suit

a Great Law Suit
London Times.
The court of appeal at Florence has
given an important decision in q case
which will probably be quoted as pre-
cedent in property questions connected
with the abolition of the law of primo
geniture.
In the year 1875 the Hon. Harriet FL
lis, eldest daughter of the late Lord How
ard de Walden, married the duke of Ser
moneta, and on his death became, &C
cording to italian law, entitled as his
widow to take life interest in. the pro-
portion of oue-third of the income his
estates yielded. The pecuniary interest
involved was large. The late duke, Don
Michael Angelo, had, however, during
his lifetime, and at the moment when
the bill for the abolition of primogeni-
ture was before the Italian parliament,
made over the entailed estates to his son,
Don Onorato, better known as Prince
Jeano, retaining only annual income for
himself, und the main question IS issue
was the right claimed by the widow to
have q certain portion of the disentailed
property included in the total of the pat
rimony upon the value of which her
quota was to be determined.
This was disputed by Don Onorato,
the prefent duke, in whose favor sem
tence was given in the court Of first in
stance, but that decision has now been
reversed by the court of appeal, which
has pronounced in favor of the claim
made by the dowager duchess, and has
decreed that oDe-half the value of the
disentailed property shall be brought
into the total, which will thus amount
to 1000, 600 francs.
As will be recognized, the caseinvolves
. question of considerable importance to
ali the great feudal houses Of Rome, and
it is of general interest both in England
and Italy, not only Q consequence Of the
social position ofthe parties, but because
of prevalent idea in England. This de-
cision Of the court of appeal has refuted
tbs idea that justice is unatainable be-
tween Italians and foreigners, and es-
pecially in q case like the present, in
which the defendent IL the head of .
powerful Roman house. possessing great
wealth and political influences.

Macon (Ga) Telegraph.
A few days ago we published an en-
gineer's story in verse. 1t was supposed
by us to be the crude effort of an anna.
teur poet, and to crafty him the wrinkles
we're smoothed out of it so that the me-
ire would not be out of joint; but it seems
that our efforts were unappreciated. The
author sends us long letter in which
he says the poem was horribly butcher
ed. This is what q newspaper gets for
allowing amateur poetay to appear out

A laughable story was recently told by
an elderly gentleman living in the city
While out spending the evening he was

after few preliminary remarks on both

about the welfare of his son. The rela-
tor felt surprised that his new acquaint.

He graduates at Harvard next spring,
I believe" added the new acquaintance.
The gentleman thought he must have
been talking to some of the other guest
about his son, and they continued the
conversation about him and the college.
There was q brief pause, and then the
new acquaintance said: "I'm sorry I've
not met your wife this evening, 80 that
could see your family complete"

himself familiar, and 80 he slipped in q
casual remark that he had been feeling

By this time the gentleman was con.

to see you when she comes home from
Florida next week." asked the new &C

him in no good humor, but seeing a
smile on his face which turned into out
right laughter, he saw that something
was up, and, laughing himself, said:
Look here, how the mischief did you
come to know 90 much about my AZ
fairs?"
"You told me yourself" laughed the
other The matter was soon explained.
The gentleman had been riding in an
Eighth street car the day before talking
to friend. The other, then . stranger
had been on the same car in seat close
to him, and overheard the conversation.
When they were introduced day later,
