Acting Under Mistake.

LISBON, December 9.-It is stated that
the greater portion of the higher officers
of the Brazilian army were monarchists
and joined the republican minority in the
recent outbreak in Brazil under the belief
that demonstration was to be merely
against ministers and not against the
empire. They became aware of the true
facts only when they had gone too far to
retrace their steps. When the revolu-
tion started thousands of students armed
themselves with revolvers and rifles and
swords and threatened to kill the EN-
peror and his family. A boat manned
by students patrolled the harbor, it be-
ing their intention to intercept the En-
peror while he was embarking and do
him injury.

Capt. Troy wishes to call attention tc
the driving on Patton avenue. Many
use the block between main street anc
Haywood street unnecessarily. Driving
ing on this block hinders the work or
the street from being more rapidly &C
complished. Unless people have business
at stores on that particular block, they
should drive around it and not block VI
| the way to the great annoyance and hin
drance of the workmen. Otherwise i
may be found necessary to restrict th
public from that portion of Patton ave

BEFORE THE MAYOR.
The COIOneI's Ring Was the Only
Thing That Could stop MOl1ie.

Mollie used very spicy language the
other day. There was great deal more
spice than anything else in it. In fact it
was so strong that it would make the
ordinary boarding house butter turn
green with envy. Now two other wo-
men had been favored with these forcible
epithets and they thought the Mayor
ought to have chance to hear English
as she is spoke" The result was that
Mollie was honored with an interview
with the mayor, and the other two dam
sells extracted much amusement from the
situation. 1t seems that they had been
witnesses in the case of Chas. Clemens,
who was held on the three different
charges of being drunk, shooting off a
pistol, and carrying concealed weapons.
When the Mayor said, DO you wish to
prove your attendance ?" both were al
most lifted from their seats by the vehe-
mence with which they answered, eyes. y
But as he asked each witness in turn this
question and they answered no. both
Sarah and Clara drew long faces and
shifted uneasily on their seats. When the
momentous question was asked them,
they were ashamed to say yes, and, look
ing sadly into the distance after those
vanishing quarters, they Slowl y whis-
pered, mo" Molie was their last
chance, and how they did seize it.
One witness didn't appear to mind
swearing very much. BY the way he
was man. Perhaps (the thought is
shocking) he might have INDUCED i'll it
sometimes himself.
"Did Mollie CURSE" said the mayor.
"Yes, sir. She cussed little"
did it disturb people p
"It didn't disturb me-"
The Mayor remarked that perhaps it
took great deal to disturb him, and
fined Molle SO. Then he asked Sarah
and Clara if they wished to prove their
attendance. A beatific smile stole over
their countenances. The quarters were
theirs. One exultant glance at Mollie, a
preparatory heaye or two, and nudging
each other with their elbows, both cried
Yes" This was too much for Mollie
Up she jumped and gesticulating wildly
cried, "If I'm fined, want those wo,
men fined. They were just as bad
as | was. I'll have them arrested
I'll''- but Clara rushed up to the
bar, glaring dehantly, and lifted her
voice in accents wild which would have
covered mile Of territory. This was
more than the Colonel could stand and
as he majestical Y waved her back, the
glorious efulgence emanating from his
$75 ring caused her to shrink back il
awe, and the Mayor YEARLY led away
the reluctant Mollie. But her voice re
mained behind her, growing fainter anc
fainter as she slowly traversed the patl
to the calaboose.

sylvia.

Mr.. J. N. McComb, of the interior of
New York. is in the city. Mr.. McComb
is the owner of large body of mountain
land on Dicks creek, Jackson county, and
also of finely situated tract of thirty or
forty acres at Sylvia, which he has recently
put in condition to be thrown into the
market, by clearing the underground,
openining streets, etc. We learn from the
Tuckaseegee Democrat that several lots
have already been sold. A beautiful ad-
dition is thus made to the town of Sylvia,
by opening to use so many fine build
ing sites. With the large koalin works,
timber and lumber industry, Touring
mills, and its Importance as shipping
point, Sylvia bids fair to increase rapidly
in population and consequence.

FACTORIES, RAILROADS.
GOOD MEETING IN THE COURT
HOUSE LAST NIGHT.
A Committee Appointed to Visit
Lynn, Massachusetts, and Hear
ty Cooperation and Endorse
ment Promised the Railroads.

A Committee Appointed to Visit
Lynn, Massachusetts, and Hear
ty Cooperation and Endorse
ment Promised the Railroads.
The court room was quite well filled
last evening, when Mayor Blanton was
called to the chair, and the object stated
by Mr.. Powell, the president of our
Board of Trade, to consider the propriety
of sending a committee to Lynn, Mas
saChusetts, in hope of inducing the man
ufacturers who have recently been burned
out, to visit Asheville before deciding
upon location for rebuilding.
After some most pertinent remarks by
Mr.. c. E. Graham, urging the necessity
of liberal inducements being made, to
overbalance such disadvantages, as COM
peting towns may present to our dis
favor, Capt. Atkinson made one of his
usual strong speeches, in support of the
following motions, which had been pre-
sented by Mr. Powell, and they were
enthusiastically adopted:
Resolved, That the chairman appoint
a committee to visit Lynn, Mass, and
lay before the manufacturers recently
burned out in that city the advantages
offered by Asheville, as a desirable point
to rebuild, and in behalf of our citizens
to extend to them an invitation to visit
our city for the purpose of investigation,
and that said cimmlttee be authorized to
collect such statistics in regard to Ashe-
vile as may properly present her ad-
vantages for such an enterprise.
Resolved, That this committee shall
seek the cooperation of this community
before going to Lynn, and it is the sense
of this meeting that the best interest of
Asheville will be presented by a liberal
response to their applications.
The chairman then appointed in ac-
cordance with the first resolution the
following committee: Messrs. N. Atkin-
son, H. c. Hunt, T. w. Patton. H. T.
Collins J. P. Sawyer, ]. A. COnant.
The following resolutions by Capt.
| Atkinson were then considered, and
unanimously adopted.
Whereas, There will meet in this city
on tomorrow a mass meeting of the
citizens of this county to take action in
regard to certain railroad projects.
Therefore be it
Resolved, That we extend to the
townships outside of Asheville, and
citizens abroad, most hearty welcome,
and hereby pledge ourselves to give the
movement our most hearty cooperation
and endorsement.
Pending the consideration of this reso-
luton Mr.. A. N. Wood, Mayor of Gatfney
City, S. c., and Mr.. 7. S. Farrow a
prominent resident of the same place
were warmly welcomed, and the latter
gentleman said in a few earnest words
that he and his friend had come to at
tend the proposed mass meeting and to
show an interest in the whole subject of
railroads, but with special hope that
attention might be directed to one in
contemplation from Camden by way OF
Gaffney City and Columbus to Asheville.
THE CITIZEN certainly hopes that every
business man in Ashevlle will turn out
tomorrow, if for no other purpose than
to give hearty welcome to visitors both
from other states and from distant
portions of this county.

A WILL CONTESTED.
An Interesting Case Now Occupy
Ing the Superior Court.

An Interesting Case Now Occupy
ing the Superior Court.
A very interesting legal fight is being
carried on in the court this week 1t is a
case of great deal of interest, and one
which invokes some very important legal
questions. 1t seems that the late Joseph
Embler, well known farmer i'll this
county, executed a will in which he left a
greater portion of his estate to two of
his children, Mr.. Frank Embler and his
sister, Mrs. J. w. Parham, This will has
been contested by his remaining children
and other of his descendants on the
ground, first that he was not i'll full pos
session of his mental powers at the time
of it's execution, and secondly that un-
due influence was used by the husband
of Mrs. Parham and by his son, Mr..
Frank Embler. Some time before Mr..
Emblers death he was regarded as not
having sufficient mind and memory to
take care of his estate. Consequently
his friends and relatives applied
for commission to try the ques-
tion of his sanity. He was decided in
competent to manage his affairs, and
Mr.. J. M. Rogers was appointed by the
court as guardian. Shortly before this he
executed will some months before his
death, at the advanced age of eighty
eight The will was probated. His re-
naming children and descendants then
filed a caveat, to the will, which caused
the issue now being tried
The fight is between the propounders
of the will, represented by Melvin f. Car
ter and Messrs. Gudger, Carter and Mar
tin. The cayeators are represented by
Messrs. Moore and Merrick, and Messrs,
Davidson. Martin and T. A, Jones.
The estate is said to be worth in the
neighborhood of $4,000, and the case
will not probably be decided until Thurs
day night.
