BUNCOMRE FARMERS.
A Very Interesting and Important
Meeting Yesterday.

Owing to the very busy season with
the farmers, who are in the midst of cut
ting and housing their tobacco crop, the
meeting yesterday was not so largely
attended as it otherwise would have
been. However, there were representa-
tives of the various alliances in Bun
combe, and some from adjoining coun-
ties.
The meeting was of business nature
entirely, and was private; hence we are
enabled to give only a few ideas to the
public. One thing considered was the
members selling their products together
and in bulk, and where the best prices
could be realized as for as possible. Com
mittees were appointed to secure or
arrange for the establishment of a ware
house for tobacco and other products,
and to apply for cheaper railroad rates
for the shipment of such articles to
market.
One other thing we are told which will
be of interest, and no doubt of great
value to our farmers, was the setting
apart the first Monday in each month to
meet i'll Asheville with samples of their
crops, and more especially, live stock of
any kind they may wish to exhibit, or
buy and SELL and encourage this i'm
portant industry.
The other western counties are cooper
ating in all these movements, all acting
as a unit for the improvement and
general advancement ofagriculture. Other
meetings will be held until something
definite has been accomplished in these
particulars.

STEVE BRODHI& TALKS.
He Prayed for Dear Life at the
Brink of the Fails.

NIAGARA FALLS, September lin de-
scribng his experience i'll going over Nj
agara Falls to-day Steve Brodie says
that after he entered the river he weak
rned and would have given anything i'll
the world if he could have reached terra
frna once more. He attempted to get
ashore by using his paddles, when the
swift current swept him back and turned
his feet towards the brink of the cata-
ract. When he saw that it was impos-
siblc to get out, he felt the same as a
man that was to meet death, and prayed
Ior dear life. Just as he came to the
brink of the falls, he became unconscious
through fright and remained so until he
struck the water, churned into foam at
the base of the falls when he was tempo
rarily brought to by the force with
which he struck the water. Then he
again lost consciousness, and knew no
more until he found himself lying on his
rubber suit at the waters edge. John
ledger from the life saving station at
Concy Island was waiting at the base
IF the falls. He sprang INTO the river
and swan out to Brodie, and towed
him to the shore. The party then drove
down to the Waverly house. THERE'S no
doubt that Brodie successfully went
over the falls.

CHICAGO, September 7.-Wheat-ln the
speculative branch of the trade there
was a continuation of yesterdays weak
ness and prices showing further de-
probation. The most important piece OF
news, was dispatch from Minneapolis,
saving that, owing to the failure ot all
but four elevators i'll this city to comply
with the new law and thus become
regular, one million bushels OF wheat
will disappear from the stocks there Ill

Temporary strength was developed early
by covering of two or three large lines OF

session. The net decline for leading
futures was q to lS cent, and the closing

was a general liquidation by discouraged
longs and some selling for account OF
eastern parties. Both public and private

for other months very little business
transpircd.
In mess pork the feeling was some

SUGAR REFINERY BURNED.
A Two Million Dollar COnfIaHra-
ton In Brooklyn.

NEW YORK, September "A very disas-
trous fire broke out about 1870 to-
night, in the mammoth sugar plant of
Dick, Meyer & Co., on North Seventh
and North Eighth streets in Brooklyn.
The fire started with an explosion, the
exact cause of which is not known. 1t is
supposed to have been caused by the ex-
plosive nature Of finely powdered parti-
cles of sugar which had permeated the
air in the mills where granulated sugar
was reduced to the powdered product.
There were three mills at work reducing
granulatcd sugar to finely powdered
article. The entire establishment which
consisted of a collection of buildings,
eight stories in height, extending about
GOO feet on North Seventh street, 300
feet on North Eighth street, and $50 feet
along the dock was reduced to a mass of
ruins. 1t was filled with very valuable
machinery, and the loss on the buildings
and machinery is estimated at about ST.
100000. Within the building were ZOO
barrels of sugar valued at about $780,
600, making totalloss of about So ,000,-
900. A number of men were injured by
the explosion or burned by the fire, and
their names are not yet obtainable. The
mills employed about 200 men.

PROFESSOR WILLIAM CAIN.
The Name a North CarOlinian
has Won Abroad.

The subjoined testimony to the worth
of this gentleman, which we take from
the Charleston World of the 9th, we
take great pleasure in reproducing as
handsome tribute to North Caroinian,
and to one long resident of Ashcvile
but also honorably associated with val
liable scientific work in the mountains OF
Western North Carolina.
The resignation ofMajor William Cain,
who for the past six years has been pro-
tessor of mathematics and civil engineer
ing at the Citadel, and the acceptance
thereof by the board of visitors, has been
reported i'll this correspondence. The
board adopted resolutions of regret at
Major Cain severance of relations with
the academy but the resolutions cOulG
not be obtained as they had to bc APP
proved after being spread on the min
utes.
1t was the privilege of The World cor
respondent to hear Colonel John T..
Thomas, formerly superintendent OF tn,
Citadel Academy, speak i'll terms Of un-
measured praise concerning Major Cain.
The latter was for six years Colonel
Thomas right hand assistant at the
Carolina Military Academy. Colonel
Thomas is, then, after such an intimate
acquaintance, thoroughly acquainted
with Major Cain and his abilities.
Among other things Colonel Thomas
said:
II consider Major Gains leaving a dis
rinct loss to the Citadel. He was the
ablest professor there. He has mastered
mathematics, pure and applied, and
brought it down to the last analysis
He is civil engineer Of exceptional skill,
and doubt if there is to-day a more
thorough engineer and mathematician
in the South. He is certainly in com
plete accord with modern thought ON
the subject of mathematics and cngin-
eering.
Major Cain is a man, too, of high
personal character. My intimate asSoci
alton with him has given me respect and
admiration for his character and his pre-
eminent ability"
Such praise from a gentlemen of such
accomplishments and such uncXampIcd
probity as Colonel Thomas is praise III.

DANA DOOMED.
The Boston Police at work OH
His Case.

BoSroN, September 1.-The cHAe of
Dcnison d. Dana, treasurer OF the Doug
las Axe Manufacturing Company, was
taken i'll hand this morning by the Bos-
ton police. A warrant was sccnrcd
charging the missing man with cmbez-
cling $25, 900 from the company. This
is not regarded as more than a small
part of what he actually took but it
was necessary that Il particular sum
should be specified, and facts were not at
hand to substantiatc an allegation as to
the whole amount. The case is i'll the
special care of Inspector DuSon, and he
telephoned this morning to the factory
in order to communicate with the treas
urers son, William Dana. The answer
received was that the younger Dana had
not been there since Tuesday. As this
was the day of his fathers disappearance,
the poliSe attach great deal of signiti-
canoe to the circumstance. He istwenty-
four years old. An involuntary petition
in insolvency was filed against the Doug
las Axe Manufacturing Company at the
Worcester county Insolvency court at
Worcester. The petition was prepared
by the Storey Company's attorney, and
has been forwarded to Worcester. The
company were willing to file voluntary
petition in insolvency, and the only rea-
son why it was decided to have recourse
to involuntary proceedings was because
the desired end could be reached sooner
that way. What the act of insolvency
alleged in the petition is, is not disclosed,
lat it will be matter of public knOwl-
ed.c as soon as the petition shall have
been filed in the insolvency court.
