THE GREAT UNwASHED.
Bob Pleaded ExtenuatinH Cir
CumStanceS.

Another meeting of the great unwashet
was held in the Mayors office at 8 a. m
yesterday What a marshalling of the
clans there was, They hustle and jostle
each other as they crowd up the stairs
All are eager to be the first to appear be,
fore his Honor. Over the door sill into
the room they crowd and scramble The
benches are filled. The audience is before
him. What a motley assembly. Tat
tered and torn, filthy and furlorn, hag-
gard eyed, blear eyed, here staring sui
lenly before them with faces begrimed
with dirt and wreathed in scowls, there
smiling idiotically with mouth distorted
into that brutal, bestial grin which only
''tangletoot" can impart, mere carica-
lures OF men, they sit and wait in gloomy
silence.
"W. MathieS!" The stiffness is broken
and big, burly negro answers the sum-
mons.
"Ycs sab Ise heah WlatlI yer have ?"
"You are charged with being drunk
and using profanc language. Guilty or
not guilty? ?"
Il didn't do it sah."
But W. Mathies had, and the usual
tribute to the majesty of the law was
levied upon him. He minded it but his
friends didn't There beside him with
cocoanut more full OF vanity than his
shirt was full of holes, and heaven knows
that was badenough, was pockmarked,
copper colorcd son of Africa. Through
the holes in his shirt cleaned broad eX-
panses of swarthy skin. His necktie.
originally black, looked like the tail end
of thunder storm. Interested in the
proceedings, did you ask? He was
busily employed in trying to find a piece
of tie large enough to hold prize pack
age scarf pin. Having accomplished this
hrrculean task to his own entire salts
faction he gazed patronizingly upon his
companions and covered himself with
enough glory to exc out the scantiness of
the remainder of his costume.
Bob Jones'"
Bob didn' wait to hear the nature of
the charge but pleaded extcnuating
circumstances.
Eyes sab, Ise guilty; but would yer
mind maxim it as light as posseeble yer
Honah? Yer see Ise got to collect this
ere money from my boss. Deed pom
my word and honah won't get drunk
any noah"
but you have been up before me for
the same offence several times previous
to this"
Yes sab, but yer see yer Honah, |
went it rather light in stoppin' off"
Sure enough, Bob, you did "go it rather
light" but the boss" will have to pay
that five dollars after all.
And so the mill ground on, slowly but
surely, until the sum of seventy-two dol
lars had been turned into the city treas
ury.

FEDERAL COURT.
The Warm Reception Given the
Witnesses.

The illicit distillers were out in force
yesterday. One after the other was
called up to receive the punishment meted
out BY the law. Each wee nipple" fur
nished to their suffering fellow man was
recorded against them. Even he who
had snelt the cork, and gazed longingy
at the empty bottle had to relate the
mental and physical torture he had I'M
dergone on that memorable occasion,
in order to show the jury that there
must have been whiskey in that bottle,
in order to have produced such an effect.
He that had helped carry the keg, had
seen the keg, or had heard a man say
that he had seen the keg, was sum-
moned to contribute his quota towards
the testimony which irresistibly and mcr-
cllcSsly wrung from the jury the verdict
Of guilty" How the witness writhed
and twisted, squirmed and evaded. But
all in vain. Browbeatten and badgered,
hunted from cover to cover, the repre-
sentative of the law ran them down and
extracted their unwilling testimony.
Don't imagine for a moment that the
fun was all on one side.
A sturdy, stalwart mountaineer was
being cross-examined, and among others
this question was put to him;
Gould the party with you hear him ?"
Il dunno, didn't have his hearin."
The same witness deposed that a keg
in question was a ten gallon keg. The
lawyer quickly asked;
"You can gauge the contents Of bar
rel can you?"
"Eh?" was the answer in a perplexcd
and puzzled tone.
"You can tell the jury how big keg
will hold ten gallons"
al reckon it might be just ten gallon
keg," was the slowly drawlcd reply of
the mountaineer.
The following men were sentenced to
three moi.ths, 500 and costs. Will Dale,
R. A. Drake, Wiley Reese, Berry Gosnell,
Chas. Baine, and Doc Carver. Jas. Jack
son got off with only one month, 500
and costs, against him.

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Prominent Kentucky RepubIi-
cans Kill Each other.

LOUISVILLE, KY, November S.-Col
William Cassius Goodloe, a member of
the national republican committee and
collector of the seventh internal revenue
district, stabbed and killed Col. A. NJ
Swope, prominent republican, at Lex
ington at 1.45 p. m. to-day. Goodloe
was shot and fatal V wounded.
The affray occurred i'll the lobby of the
new government building, and grew out
of a trouble the two men had nearly two
years ago. The men met and hot words
passed between them, when Goodloe
drew bowie knife and slashed Swope
irightfu ly i'll several places. Swope drew
pistol and shot Goodloc in the abdo-
men. The doctors think he will die.
Both men drew their weapons at the
same time.
Goodloe belongs to one of the oldest
and best families in the State. Colonel
Swope was one OF Kentucky's most
prominent republicans, and was formerly
collector of internal revenue for this
district.

COUNTERFE1rER CONVICTED.
The AIertneSs Shown by the Ashe.
willie Police.


H. A. Hartstield plead guilty to the
charge of counterfeiting yesterday after
noon in the federal court, and was SEN
tenced to one year in the penitentiarv at
Columbus, Ohio. This was the least
penalty which the law could impose.
Hartsheld is about twcnty-one years
old, has pleasant gentlemanly appear
ance, and shows a Coolness and deliber-
ateness in his methods which would
seem to betoken an old offender. His
father is jeweler in Raleigh, N. c.
The arrest was made on the 10th OF
August by J. H. Hampton of the Ashe-
vile police force. This officer certainly
deserves great deal Of credit for the
ceerity with which he apprehended the
cuIprit. Notice was given to Hampton
on Monday by the keeper of stand at
the Buncombc warehouse that coun-
terteit dollar had been passed on him, to-
gethcr with a description of the man
who had passed it, and on the following
Saturday the prisoner was arrested by
this officer as lie came out of restaurant
on Main street. The counterfeiter was
taken before Commissioner A. T. Sum,
mey, and on pleading guilty was re.
manded to prison. There was found on
him, at the time of his arrest, five coun,
terteit silver dollars and the moulds for
making them. The prisoner claimed to
have bought $75 in counterfeit money
and the moulds at Cumberland Gap for
ten dollars. The counterfeit money
found on him was the only money he had
made with the mouds, although he af
terwards stated to the officer that he
was going after some metal with which
to coin money at the very time he was
arrested. 1t speaks we'll for the prompt
ness of the Asheville police that he wa.
only able to pass off ten dollars in Ashe
vile before he was apprehended.
Hartsheld is supposed to have beer
working the country towns with part
ner, although he denies this fact, anC
says that no one was cooperating will

FOR THE LITTLE ONES,
The Founder of the NIlniateripg
ChiIdren'S League.

| An active branch of this valuable order
has been long established among our
little ones, under the guidance of an ex-
eellent, practical lady. These dear chill
dren will be interested to read about
their lady pastroress, and founder, and
no doubt would like TO have a visit from
her
Lord Brabazon. the Earl of Meath,
arrived i'll Baltimore yesterday and regis
tered at the St. James Hotel. He is
accompanied by his wife, the Countess OF
Meath, who founded the Ministering
Children's League, and has made it her
life-work and the Earl is in thorough
sympathy with her in her plans She
was first impressed with the difficulty of
getting people to pursue philanthropic
work, and became convinced that the
proper course was to train children to
think for others. This was the starting
point of the league. Organized in 1888,
it has spread over the whole English
speaking world. 1t has 500 branches,
among Others at Cape Town, Africa,
Australia New Zealand, Jerusalem,
''hu NNNI III ltli-SlNtC lHNli anu
China. The objects of the league
are 'to promote kindness, unsclhsh-
ness and the habit of usefulness
among children and to create in
their minds an earnest desire to help the
needy and suffering" also, "to aid the
necessities of the poor by supplying them
with warm clothing and comforts" It's
motto is: mo day without a deed to
crown it." 1t is union of the simplest
kind for work and prayer among the
young, and is entirely non-sectaran
Quantities of clothing for the poor or for
missions are being made by the league
which is also raising money to support
beds in children's hospitals Poor chill
drcn i'll crowded cities have been sent by
it to the country in summer, and home
for destitute boys has ecn opened in
England. A hospital and chapel have
been built in this country. 1t is for the
propagation OF this kind of benevolence
among the young that the Countess has
visited this country, and her efforts have
been rewarded by an increased member
ship OF the league and an awakening III
the young of charitable feelings. Sic
made an address yesterday before a
branch of the league in the chapel OF
Grace Protestant Episcopal Church. In
the evening the Earl and Countess visi-
ted the fair ofSt. Michael and All Angels
Church at the Lyceum Theatre, where
the Ministcring Childrens' League has a
department.
