MarseilIes Remarks.

Last Thursday night MIR. Allen of Otta-
wa was here and had something to say
about the tariff and the bloody shirt and
several other things He took the English
view of tie matter. He was satisfied with
the present state o. affairs and wanted us
to keep the tax on wool 80 that we could
not supply any other market than our own,
and thus leave England the undisputed
mistress Of the ocean. He wanted the
tariff kept on lumber, because If 1t should
be taken of our forests would stop growing
at once, as they cannot compete with the
pauper forests Of Canada. Salt ought not
10 be on the free list, because our salt man
uiacturers could only get dollar per bar>
rel In Toronto for salt, and II they had to
sell II for the same price here, they would
not be able TO form trust. He proved
apparently to his own satisfaction that
food and clothing are desrer In England
than they are here, and therefore we, the
pauper labor of America need protection
from the high priced goods of England,
etc, II was very pretty speedway.

DROWNED!
Mr.. w. A. Patton's UntimeIy Death
Yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon about four
o'clock, a messenger came to the
, city from the swimming place at
the French Broad river, in rear
of the fair grounds, stating that
Mr.. William Alonzo Patton, a
young white man, well-known
in this city, had been drowned
while bathing, and also stating
that his body could not be found.
A large crowd of people at once
went to the scene of the drown
ing, and after few unsuccessful
attempts the body of the unfortu-
nate young man was discovered
within fifty yards of the place
where he entered the river. He
was brought to the bank and at
tetnpts were made tto resuscitate,
ab5ut 80 yeafs of Age, and was 4
butcher by trade. HeAwas also
subject to epileptic fits. 1t is
supposed that. one of the latter
came upon him while in the wa
ter, and thus caused his death by
drowning. He will be buried to-
day, the funeral taking place from
his late residence on Orange
street. He will be buried with
military honors by the Asheville
Light Infantry, of which he was
one of its corporals. Mr.. Patton
was also a member of the Young
Mems Democratic Club, of this
city, and resolutions of respect to
his memory will be passed at the
next regular meeting of these or
carnations.

forth schedules &c The schedules
having been changed recently, the
tables are useless, with the very i'm
portant exception.that they set forth
with great precision the wide ex-
tent of the system with all its rami-

be useful throughout the season. II
relates to "the summer houses on
the Piedmont Air Line" It is very
full, very minute; and with the ex-
ception of some mis-spelled names,
is entirely accurate. All the hotels
and boarding houses, in Western
North Carolina from Salisbury to
Dillsboro, and also as far as Hot
Springs; and also along the main
line, are given together with their
capacity, their distance from the
station, the mode hV which reached
and also the postoffice address. We
find seven hotels in or near Ashe-
vile, and twentyNone boarding
houses; five hotels at Henderson,
vile, six hotels and seven boarding
houses at Waynesville, three hotels
and three boarding houses at Hot
Springs. The whole forms useful,
if not perfect guide. Those whose
houses are omitted, are those who

A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE,
Was that Celebrated at Trinity
Church Yesterday.

A marriage that savors of ro~
nance took place at Trinity Episco-
pal church in this city yesterday
morning. The high contracting
parties were Mr.. C. N. Featherston,
Rome, Ga, and Miss S. E. Jones, of
Selma, Ala. Rev. DR.. J. Buxton
was the officiating clergyman, and
the groom was attended by his best
man, Mr.. w. W. Brooks, of Rome
Ga. Miss Jones was given away at
the altar rail by her mother, Mrs.
K. Rixey, of Selma, Ala; and the
marriage was witnessed by few
friends only of the bride and
groom. After the ceremony had
been performed the bridal party en-
tered carriages and were driven to
the Battery Park hotel, where they
will spend several weeks. 1t seems
that about three years ago Mr.
Featherston met Miss Jones at the
famous White Sulphur Springs at
,Waynesville, and lost his heart TO
her whom yesterday was made his
wife. They have regularly met
every seaso.I since their acquain>
tance began. either al Asheville or
WaynesVille, and the same old, old
story has been told and retold be-
meath the skies of Western North
Carolina, beside its gentle. purling
brooks, and amid its beautiful.
weird and romantic scenery. A
more propitious spot in ali this
world for love to grow and riDen in
perfected bliss, cannot be found,
than in our own bright and beauti-
fol skyland. May the skies beneath
which they shall hereafter live be-
bright and cloudless as were those
above them yesterday, and may
their visits to our God-favored sec
ton, be repeated each season for
many years to come.

HE STOLE CHICKENS.
And is Now in Jail Awaiting Trial
for the Offense.

William Baskill is coal black
negro with an underlip like unto an
an elephants ear, and halls from
Augusta, Ga. William is in trouble
and the larceny of twelve chickens
is the cause of all his woe.
1t seems that Capt. I. V. Smith,
who resides on South Main street,
has q peculiar breed of fowls. in
which he takes much pride, and
during his absence from the city a
a colored servant guards these fowls
with jealous care.
On Sunday morning, af.er sitting
up nearly all of Saturday night,
this keeper OF the roost went.to the
fowl-house and discovered that the
lock had been picked and twelve of
the finest chickens in the coop gone.
He also discovered a number of
tracks leading from the coop, which
he followed, and led to the residence
of the Aforesaid William. William,
therefore, was adjudged guilty at
once. Further developments showed
that William had deposited an un-
usual quantity Of fowl heads and
feet in a sink near the prisoners
house which corresponded mi
nutely with the color, size, ETC.. of
Capt. Smiths chickens when alive.
A warrant was at once sworn out
before Justice Malone and William
was "pulled" by Officer Hampton in
an hour after the warrant had been
issued.
The case was called Yesterday
morning, and after hearing the evil
dence in the matter Justice Malone
committed Baskill to Jail in default
of q 5000 bail bond for his appear
ance at the next term of the interior
court for this county.

Death of Allan Turner Davidson Jr

We announce with great sadness
the death of our young friend which
occurred yesterday at his fathers
residence OF Baird street. Allan
was born on Valley River, Cherokee
county, in June 1861 The family
removed to this city about
1858, and young Allan was placed
at school under that sterling man
and instructor, the revered Steven
Lee, who prepared him for the Uni
versity of the State, at which he
graduated with distinction in 1882.
In January, 1888, he removed to
Texas where two brothers had pre-
ceded him, and located in Calves
ton, devoting himself to school,
teaching for three years, in the
mean time preparing himself for
the practice of law. After obtain
ing license he removed TO Abiline,
that State, where he Remained a
year, then went to the Pan Han
die section aud aided in locating
and establishing therein the county
of Potter; and it was while he was
experimenting the surveying
and location of lands in
this section for some clients this
past March that he contracted the
cold which eventuated in his death
yesterday morning at 8 o'clock.
Mr., Davidson was a young man
OF decided ability and much prom
Use; was tull O: spirit and enthusiasts
tic in temperament, and made
friends rapidly whom he held
closely. His prospects in the State
of his adoption were very encourag-
ing to himself, and gratifying to his
friends. His death is certalnly a
very sad one, a very deep af1iction
t. his family, and source of sincere
regret to his friends. His funeral
will take place this morning at 10
o'clock at the Church Street Metho-
dist church, and the remains will
be inferred in Riverside Cemetery.
