We make the following extract
from Chicago kilograms Of, the 9Th
and there is nothing later to change
the situation fQg ssI fsi
Captain O'Donnell made another
raid to-day, capturing James Turelr.
In his house was found one long
muzzlesloading shotgun, one six
shooting bull dog, a governments
can of powder, bundle of German
anarchists newspapers, a lot of
pamphlets and much other truck
showing that the. owner belonged
to that dangerous class of socialists
for whom there is now no rest or
safety in Chicago. Another alleged
anarchist was arrested tosday, and
at his house the police discovered q
lot of dynamite, two gums and nutn-.
|erous cartridges. When brought
into the station he was so fright
ened that he almost tainted from
fear His name is VIM. Seliger, 81
years Of age. .sandis a cabinet maker.
The search for persons IS going on
industriously, though quietly.
The police authorities are in pos
session of certain facts having i'm
portant bearing On the organization
of the anarchists, and feel certain
they will eventually capture the
dastardly assassin who threw the
bomb, but whose identity is thus
far unknown. Certain detectives
believe that the determination
of the socialists to use .dynas
mite Tuesday night was the outs
growth of a plot. in which the
spies, .Schwab, Tilden and Par
sons were the prime movers. All
the wounded officers at the hospital
with three exceptions rested conn
fortably to-day and showed signs
of improvement. The exceptions
were Officers Flavin, Nelso and ia
cob Hahnson. At the bedside of
Officer Flavin sat his wife. .7gHe was
apparently suffering severely. His
right leg was amputated this after
noon. Flavin stood the operation
well. He also had bullet wound
in the back. The two wounds tos
gether make the case very critical.
Officer Nels. Hansen passed a
good night and rested comfortably
to-day, but has reached the point
where it can be said he will recover.
It is feared Officer Jacob Hansen
will die. He is dangerously hurt,
has strong constitution. If he
lives he will probably lose a leg.
Officer Mike Madden, who was
shot through the left lung by So
cialist, Wednesday night, was con-
sidered improved.
E.seofel Hart, the young nSan who
shot Madden and received two balls
from an officers pistol, is much
worse to-day, and recovery is re,
garded as impossible.
Young Shoemaker, one of the ci>
Tiers wounded at the hay market
riot, is almost past the need of med
icine, e,andhis death is only a question
of few hours.
Officer Larry Murphy, whose foot
was blown away by bill bomb, and
otherwise injured, suffers consider
ably. His wife is by his bedside
making him as comfortable as pos
sible.
All the other officers were doing !
well this afternoon.

The Franklin Press says: The
criminal docket was taken up on
Monday, and has consumed time of
the Court up to last night. The ine
dictments were generally for small
cases of misdemeanor. Several
charges for carrying concealed
weapons were tried, a number of vio-
lations of.the law in retaining liquor
without license, &c, and some cases
of fassault and battery were disposed
of. f.-Dr. A. C. Brabson has a rid~
ing horse which he has been riding
for thirteen years, and which is now
an excellent saddle animal. The
dam of this horse is still living, at
the age of % years, owned by Col.
Howard, and could not be bought
for one hundred dollars. Our Sec
ton was visited with light frosts on
Saturday and Sunday nights,
though not enough to do any con-
sideaable damage. The peach crop
here will be small, but the prospect
of an abundent yield OF apple is
very good. Shooting jack-fsh in
the Tennessee river. in April, and
red-horse in Betty's creek, in May,
affords rare sport Several jacks
have been killed measuring three
feet in length.

GkAPE GROWERS MEETING.
Under the notice given through the
CITIZEN of recent issue number of
gentlemen met in Capt. Cookies Office at
half past II on Saturday to take steps to
cooperate with the National Association
at. Washington which meets in that city
on the 10Th. Capt. Atkinson had been
appointed one of the committee to organ
lie local associations, and the meeting
called for yesterday was under the pow
ers entrusted to him. ~ M
Mr.. Atkinson briefly explained the
object of this meeting and of the Mother
Association. He demonstrated how
much North Carolina was interested in
the movement. The people of the North
were looking earnestly to the South in
reference to this subject. Much had been
said of the adaptability of the soil and
climate of Western North Carolina to
grape culture and the successful produc-
don of wine. The subject had not escap-
ed the interest and curiosity of foreign
ers. They too were looking this way. 1t
became US to be represented at the meet
ing in Washington. We might learn
something. The wines of all parts of the
United States would be on exhibition.
We might have nothing to show, but we
would give information of ouI section
which would have great future value.
Mr.. Atkinson stated that the Hall of
the Agricultural Department had been
offered for the use of the delegates.
It was best for US to respond to the in
vitation of the parent body, to form a
local organization, to elect officers and to
send delegates to the meeting at Wash
ington OH the 10Th.
On motion it was resolved to organize
a local organization out of the number
then present without waiting for larger
number, tile time for the meeting at
Washington being too near at hand to
admit of delay
On motion Mr.. w. II. Enoe was made
President by acclamation.
On motion j. D. Cameron was made
Secretary by acclamation.
On motion of Mr.. Atkinson it was
resolved that one delegate to attend the
meeting in Washington be appointed
from each county in the 9th Congress
ional District; and the chair appointed
the following gentlemen:
Messrs. w. W. Moore, Yancey; J. M.
Stafford, Mitchell; S. E. Lucas, Transyl-
van1a; ii. Il. Ewart, Henderson; w. h.
Justice. Rutherford; J. T. Reid, Nc
Dowell; II. C. Goodell, Polk; X. V.
Welch, Haywood; James W. Terrell,
Jackson; Henry Stewart, Macon; D. Z.
Collins, Swain; George Walker, Graham;
w. H. Mcclure, Clay; W. w. Rollins,
Madison
The appointment of the! delegate from
Buncombe was. left open to be filled by
joint action the President and Sec. ard
subsequently Capt. Matt Atkinson was
appointed.
It was resolved that the next meeting
of the association be held during the
June term of Buncombe Superior Court
of the time and place of which the
secretary shall give notice.
The meeting then adjourned.
w. H. ENLoE, President.

As very few of our friends buy ground
coffee it is hardly necessary to give the
adulterations practiced by cheap dealers
by using ehicory, beans, peas, carrots
etc., all of which may be detected by
stirring in clear water, the greasy nature
of the coffee causing it to float on top
while the adulterating materials will
sink and rapidly discolor the water.
Always bny whole grain cofee-choos

LET Us MEET 'EM,-LET US FEToH EN-.
We take the following from the Knox
vile Chronicle. It's mot intended as a
challenge to us, but we should take it as
such. We must meet Knoxville with
extended hands. We must bring her del
egations up to Asheville and .give them
Asheville welcome. We must welcome
not only Knoxville, but Chattanooga
Morristown, all East Tennessee. The
late fine demonstration in Knoxville
proves that there is strong community of
interest between ourselves and them.
Let US pull down all State barriers, and
prove ourselves one people as before
when North Carolina and Tennessee
were one in territory as in people.
The Chronicle says: The Chronicle,
not to be outdone by its most enterpris-
ing competitors, has chartered and will
run special lightning expreestrain The
train has been chartered to run to Warm
Springs and Asheville at the opening of
the new Warm Springs hotel, which will
take place about the 1st of June.
The train will leave Knoxville about
a. m and will make but one stop be-
tween this city andWarm Springs except
for waite
In the meantime the Chronicle will
compile matter for magnificent 24-page
edition to be devoted to the interest of
Western North Carolina, and especially
to the health resorts of that favored re-
gion. Besides this the edition of that
day will be marvel of news-gathering
enterprise. Bundles of paper will be
thrown from the train at all stations and
newsboys will be on hand to take charge
of the sales. The paper will be hand
semely illustrated and in every respect
superior to any paper ever issued from
Knoxville, if not in the south.
