The DIFFICgLTY IS JACKSON.
Our correspondents in Webster and
Sylvia have each informe7 7us of the affair
between Bumgarner and McCurry which
resulted so seriously to the latter. VI e
learn that the difficulty grew out of a
dispute over the right of the parties to
pass over the lands of the other Neigh
bor's had been in the habit of passing
over the lands of Bumarger to reach a
wagon way common to the neighbor-
hood. This land had recently been fenc-
ed in and put in cultivation. McCurry
applied to Bumgarner for permission to
haul loads over the aforesaid grounds
This Bumgarner refused for the reason
that it was now enclosed and his crop
planted. Then McCurry, as a measure
of retalition, notified Bumgarner that lie
should not pass through bis grounds by
the road which passed through it. The
other said he would see about that; and
the same afternoon, accompanied by his
son, went over to McCurry's farm. Nc
Curry was in his field eighty or q hun-
dred yards fre.n his hoIsse and had just
started to the house with pole on his
shoulder, and an axe in his hand when
the others came up. Bumgarner hailed
MeGurry apparently ami, ably; ;butalm
Immediately brought down his musket,
cooked it and pulled TRIGGER. The cap
did not explode. and aIct;urry threw his
axe at Bumgarner, cutting his leg; and.
also throwing stone, which struck his
opponent-in in the face. Seeing Bunlgarn-
er drawing pistol, lIcG GGrry closed with
him, and threw him. Bz11ngarlRt, UNDER
meath. called tIDOn his son to heiD him.

We are indebted to an attentive friend

We are indebted to an attentive friend
from Breyartl Tor items of information,
all ofwfieh, however, had been antici-
pated We nevertheless express. our
thank fitness for his kindness, and hope
he will write again.
A Coon SUGGESTION.
The following was handed lis satur-
day evening:
Messrs Editors The result of to- days
work will be new city administration.
and it behooves them, il they wish to
secure to the city a successful govern
ment, to pas special attention to the,
providing means to run the city on a
cash basis. The evidence furnished by
Buncombe county during the past nine
months as to what can be done by aa
efficient officer, gives the city fine
chance TO profit by the example OF the
county. l see no reason why the county
tax collector, Capt. 7. w. Patton, cannot
be appointed also tax collector for the
city, provided he will accept the position,
and am satisfied that every citizen, who
has the welfare of the city at heart, will
endorse my suggestion.
A DEMOCRAT
Not twenty minutes before this was
handed us, another citizen, taxpayer
and a.republican, made the esane s1gges-
tion to iis, on the ground of the efficiency
OF Capt. Patton as tax collector. Every
man who pays his taxes; naturally thinks
every other man ought to do so, and
Capt. Patton's record as tax collector of
Buncombe. having gadded over two thous-
and dollarsto Bunconbe'stFeasar which
otherwise would not have gotten therein,
these taxpayers think he should be re-
ceirer of tithes for the city. 1t is good,
financial suggestion.

SENATORIAL STUPIDITY.
The Old Warfare Between Van wyck and
Teller Being Kept Up

Teller Being Kept Up.
WASHINGTON March Ex-senator Mitchell
offered a resolution providing for the ap-
pointment of a special commission Of five
senators to inquire and report not later than
the second Monday of next December, as to
the mum her of trade dollars put in circulation
in the United States before their legal tender
quality was repealed; how said coins came
into circulation subsequently; how many are
still held in the several states of this country:
at what rates they we're taken; how much
profit has accrued in any way to the govern
ment by the coinage Of trade dollars and
what has been the practice of this and other
governments as to the receipt or refusal By
them of their own coins.
Senators Beck and Harrison objected to
the present consideration and it was laid
over, together with an ironical substitute By
Senator Cockrell proposing to authorize any
two or more senators to constitute them selves
an investigating committee with a rowing
commission to inquire into any subjects thew
may deem worthy OF investigation at home or
abroad, on land or sea.
Senator Hawlev, rising to a question of
privilege, called attention To the omission
from the congressional record Of some re-
,
derogatory to the members Of the South
American commission, which omissions rpnd-
cred the subsequent remarks OF the other
senators somewhat uumeaniug.
Senator Van Wyck explained that he had
stricken out some parts Of his remarks after
consultation with the senator from Missouri

because he was wrong in mis- assertion.

LONDON, March 21.-In Paris the reports
that China mas made overtures for peace are
discredited. No negotiations, direct or in
direct, have, it is said, been opened, and
there are no symptoms that the government
at Pekin is iutmidated or anxious to secure
peace on any terms unfayorable to China
Mem bers Of the Chinese embassy in Lon
don express themselves hopeful for cessa-
ton of war But they say it should be
brought about By France accepting the terri
torfal concessions formerly made by China
in Tonquin without any indemnity. From
China direct come reports that the army Of
the empire has been reinforced and put in
readiness TO resume offensive operations
in TOnquin. At Kelung the French remain
practically in a state Of siege. OF the war in
Tonquiu and Formosa the members of the
embassy say it has not perceptibly affected
the internal prosperity Of the Chinese en-
pire. although the treasury Of the imperial
government, it is admitted, needs funds.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-It was generally
stated and believed to- day that Ex-Congress-
man Sparks of Illinois has been determin ed
upon for com missioner of the general land
office, but there was some disappointment
that his name was not sent to the senate to-
day. Ex-Congressman Singleton of Illinois
is an applicant for the appointment Of agri-
cultural commissioner. 1t is admitted that
if Mr.. Sparks is to get the land Office Gen.
Singleton will be left out, as it is not likely
that two Illinois men will be given such i'm
portant places, especially as one, Gen. Black,

at little village called Dutch Hollow, IN St.

this deed is Miss Kruger, a German woman
of about 80 years of age, who with her hus-
band and family of four children live in the
vicinity of the village above mentioned E.
They are in fair circumstances and their
abode from all appearances seemed

Yesterday afternoon while the two little
daughters of the family, aged respectively 3
and years, were engaged in yard at play
the mother called them in and coolly in
formed them that she had to perform a pain
full duty, but that she was compelled to make
the sacrifice. She grasped them tightly and
led them to a table, where lay two freshly
whetted butcher knives. The little ones
screamed and begged and piteously implored
their mother to spare their lives, but ali to
no avail. Letting loose of the arm OF the
older girl she picked up the glittering knife,
held back the head OF her little victim and
