A HORRIBLE MURDER IN MADISON

a 44Ohh1DLE w ChDEh IN MA
We learn from several gentlemen
who were in the city yesterday from
Madison county that Gather Reese,
of Spring Creek. was shot and ir~
stantly killed by Jerome Ruff and
three other parties on Friday 23rd
inst. 1t seems that some time since
a slight difficulty occurred between
Reese and Ruff, and on seeing the
latte! with three other friends armed
with rifle guns approaching, Reese
Thought it best to prevent any diff
Guilty sought to make his escape;
and as soon as he made the effort to
get out of danger the assailants
opened fire, lodging several balls in
Mr.. Reese, one of them going in the
hack of his head and coming out Of
his forehead, causing death ins
stantly. They were all arrested,
but Ruff made his escape. One
gave bail and the other two were
placed in Marshall Jail Officers are
out with warrants for Ruff who
seemed 20 be the leader of the gang.
Tie names of the other three men

This has caused great excitement in
that community where many of the
best citizens Of the county live.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The new quarters Of the Ash, vile
Fire Department have been mate-
rally improved. Instead of the
old-time, old-fashioned lock and
key doors. MIR. l.. Swicegood has
invented and placed in use an
instantaneous device for opening
The device is Mr.. Swicegood 5 pat
ent, and is one of the most complete
we have ever seen. Col. Sawyer
and Capt. Fagg have complimented
him highly upon the successful
operation of his invention. The new
quarters are larger and better ar
ranged in every particular, and the
addition of drop harness for the
horses is all that is now needed to
make the Asheville fire department
one of the best in the State. AS it
is now it only requires one minute
to harness the horses and get out Of
the hose house after the fire alarm
has been sounded. The depart
ment deserves much credit tor the
faithful and Efficient work it has
done, in preserving from the raw
ages OF fire the property Of our peo-
pie, without remuneration or hope
of reward.

Hot Winds.

The mere mention OF hot winds suggests
that we must LOOK for them IN tropical coun-

where vegetation l. scanty or entirely absent.

WALKING IN A CROWD.
An Art which Is Not Mastered BY
Very Many City Pedestrians.


Perhaps 1t has occurred to most of you, boys
and girls both, that there is an art In walking
along crowded sidewalk so as to make good
speed and keep out of other peoples way at
the same time. 1t has been said that 1t is
easy to tell countryman on the street by the
number OF collisions he has with other peo-
pie, but II that be the test we think good
many city people would be taken for denizens
of the bankwoods. We are all familiar with
the members OF the get in the way family,
for no one can walk down any crowded street
without seeing we'll known representatives OF
1t. And 1t is utter nonsense to say that none
Of them live In the city. In an hours walk
we came across plenty OF them-the man
who stops suddenly right in front OF you and
starts back in the other directions; or stands
in the center of the sidewalk staring IN
window; the man who bolts ahead under
either full or half steam, looking over his
shoulder the while; the man who swings his
cane or folded umbrella back at an angle oil
forty-fve degrees, so tha. the ferrule strikes
the unfortunate pedestrian behind him some
where between the instcp and shin; the other
umbrella man who holds it horizontally un-
der his arms aud stops suddenly and often to
let It's sharp point get In its tbrusts on the
center OF your breast or your stomach, the
women who cluster in bunch of thoughtless
indifference right In tho middle OF the walk.
or around some attractive shop window; the
boys and the men, too, who select the most
crowded part of the sidewalk for skylsrklng
and scutfing, with the certainty OF trampling
on a score OF corns and knocking the breath
out of half dozen people every five min
utes.
Now, is It the country cousIa who docs such
thingsl Is It the inexperienced prOmcnader
who Is not nsed 10 crowded streets, and who
should be excused II he gets in the way of
othcrsi 1t Is not. 1t is the city mao, the
city woman the city boy, all OF whom ought
to know better. Watch them the next time
you are out, and then look at the brisk
young fellow who walks carefully down
the street ireading his way skilliully through
every crowd, collidlng with no one, but never
Stacking speed all the same: tsss him for
your model and learn to do what really few
people know how do well--to walk n crowded
thoroughfarc without getting In other peoples
way while you keep steadily on your own. II

tant and neglected onc.--Nsc York Grdphie.

A CANDIDATES SUPPER.

1t wasn't so many years ago, says

cepted the assurance of his bealers that
he was sure to be elected. prepared in
his house nice spread. sutlic lent for n
large mum ber OF the boys. 10 celebrate
his victory. There were turkey sand
witches and several varieties of frost
ed cake, aud ice cream and coffee. and
possibly drop of something else for
the inner circle. On election night the
candidate modcstly remained at home,
receiving advices from time to time
from his supporters. Just as the polls
closed he was elected "by large ma
jorty." of course; both candidates are
always elected By large majority at
that snnguine period. But little later
as the returns came in from the dis
tant wards. and gains and losses were
figured up.it began to be apparent that
the vote was closer than the heelers
had expected. Then it began to be
more dubious still; and at about nine
o'clock the boys began to see that the
democratic candidate was going to be
beaten. They bethought themselves
of that spread over at the house. Was
that elegant 'lay OUT to be lost? The
boys had just one chance for it and
they took it Over to tho candidates
house they rushed with great shout.
There wasn't much in the shout I'm,
"Hooray!" but 1t was calculated to
convey the impression to the candidate
himself that he was elected. "Hooravr'
In they poured and elbowed their way
to the dining-room. '.How has it
gone? How has it gomez asked the
candidate, anxiously. There was an
other confused shout drowning all
definite response. and-the boys were
all at the vitnals. devouring sandwiches
ice cream, frosted cakes and coffee, n
discriminately and eagerly. The can
didate enjoyed one moment of exuita-
tion and then sent his son around to
the headquarters to see what the result
was. In few minutes the youth re-
turned with a detected countenance.
"You're beaten by seventy-nine plur-
ality. father"
1t was too late, however. to save the
spread. The candidate was inclined
to protest a little with one or two of
the leaders. but they told him. with
grin that they thought the boys might
as well have the supper any way.

SATURDAY.. April 2Stl

SATURDAY, April 28th.
The Court opened at 10 a. M.
Attorney General Ashford moved that
sentence be passed on CIV. Macfarlane,
found guilty of conspiracy in the second
degree, early that morning by jury.
Counsel for the defendant moved for a
stay of proceedings so as to file motion
for an arrest of judgment.
The motion was fled and reads as fol-
lows:
And now comes said G. w. Macfar-
lane, by his attorneys, and moves the
Court to arrest judgment in the above
entitled case, on the following grounds,
viz:
1st. That the third count in the in
dictment on which the defendant was
found gnilty is not sufficient in law.
ID That the verdict of the jury was
contrary to the law and evidence.
Sd. For misconduct of the jury.
4th. For irregularity in the empanel-
ling of the jury.
9Th. For newly discovered evidence.
G. w. MACFARLANE,
By his attorneys, Paul Neumannn and
F. M. Hatch.
His Honor then called the defendant
and passed sentence as follows:
You are found guilty of the offense OF
conspiracy in the second degree. The
law authorizes the infiction of imprison-
ment at hard labor for not more than
two years, or fine of not more than two
hundred dollars as the penalty. Among
other defenses your counsel urged that
the removal of goods from the Custom
House without paying duties thereon, by
means of orders of parties who are by
statute exempt from paying duties upon
goods, is anu has been a common prac-
tice in this community. There is strong
reason from the evidence in the case of
