The buncombe campaign of the
democrats in this county is made up
on the pretended extravaganza of the
county officials in building a much
needed improvement at a cost Of less

been shown, this is IN fact an econom.
ic measure, and for the benefit of the
county. The county commissioners
acted on the advice of eminent attor

Personal Talk.

While Joaquin Miller, the poet of the SER
ras, was engaged in the pastime of shooting
quail as he was riding over the hills near
Oakland, Cal, his horse jumped and o.
caliber bullet went through his left hand. It
missed the bones and only made painful
flesh wound. The only danger is from lock-
jaw.
Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., was taken sud-
denly sick at the house of friend in Madison
square New York. A physician was called,
but before he arrived her condition was SO
critical that it was thought unsafe to re-
move her to the New York hotel, where she
is living with her father and mother, Col and
Mrs. Nevins. She rallied somewhat during
the evening and the physician finally con
sented to allow her to be removed to her
rooms in the hotel. This was done, and DR..
Fuller, who was first called in to attend her,
sought the advice of DIR. Smith. who lives at
the hotel. They stayed with Mrs. Blaine all
night, and professional nurse sent for. She
was in a semi-delirious state, and did not
recognize those who were with her. The
physicians said that the chances were against
herrecovery.

The Winnipeg Railroad Row.

a telegram from Winnipeg describing the
military preparations for efecting crossing
of the Canadian Pacific railway by another
railway known as the Portage line implied
that the Northern P acifc company were build
ing the new line and was consequently q party
to the fray. A reporter called at the North
tern Pacific office in New York to get
the facts, which are substantially these:
Al the newspaper statements regard
the province of Manitoba between the
Northern Pacific ana the Canadian Pacific
are incorrect. The Northern Pacific has
nothing whatever to do with the contest.
The road that's to pass the Canadian Pacific
main line, the crossing of which is the occa-
sion of the trouble. is not built by the
Northern Pacific. but by the provincial gov
eminent OF Manitoba That government
chartered a company called the Northern
Pacific Manitoba Railroad company, which
is to have control of all the roads built by tn e
provincial government and to build other
subsidized lines in the province Even that
company is not building the line first referred
to. The provincial government constructed
1T at it's own expense and risk and turns it
over when completed to the chartered COM
pany. The Northern Pacific has no direct or
indirect interest whatever in the Northern
Pacific q Manitoba Railroad company. Its
only relations to -day are through the medium
of the Duluth & Manitoba Railroad company,
3 branch of the Northern Pacific extending
from its main line to the Manitoba boundary
and there connecting with the Red River
Valley road to Winnipeg. built by the pro-
vincial government Th Northern Pacific Il
Manitoba Railroad company will have a
traffic contract with that company and with
the Northern Pacific company, and that will
be the only connection between them.

Where the Blame Rested.

After three days session the coroner.s
jury, which has been Investigating the recent
accident on the Lehigh Valley railroad,
at Mud River, reached the following verdict
at Manch Church, Pa
We find that the engineers of locomotives
guilty Of gross negligence first, in failing to
discover the red signal in time, the evidence
clearly showing that this signal was in full
view as the train approached, and secondly
Tor not approaching the station under full
control, as required by both the general and
special orders. The evidence also shows that
the air brakes of the entire seventh section
were under the control of the engineer
OF locomotive 466, and that he could have
stopped the train in spite of the locomotive
ahead, No. 452. We find that the lookout
men of locomotives 452 and 466 were guilty
OF gross negligence in failing to report to
their respective engineers the red light at the
station as the train approached. The men
were placed on their respective engines as an
additional precaution, their special duty be-
ing to lookout for signals. The look out man
on 452 failed to see the signal. The other one
on 466 testified that he saw it about ], 500
feet from the station, and yet he repo rted all
right to the engineer, and claims that he did
not think the red light meant anything as
nobody used it. We find that the rear brake
man of the sixth section was guilty of gross
ueSilSeHce, ioF Wnen DIS Train stopped. IN
stead of promptly going back the proper dis
lance to warn the approaching train, he
stopped at the station. There was time
enough for him to have gone back nearly half
mile, but he went less than 400 feet. We
find that the conductors of the two sections
failed in their duty, the first in not conform
ing to the rule requiring each conductor to
see personally that his brakeman protects the
rear of his train, and the second in not re-
curing his train to approach the station un-
der control.
