be assigned. But before tripping the light
fantastic, the program promises us some
fine addresses, some fine vocal and in

A FRIGHTFUL. WOUND.
MIR. c. r. Russell Receives a Full
Load OEShOt In His Leg.

There was party formed at Battery
Park yesterday morning to go out for a
days shooting. They left at a very
early hour under the guidance of Mr. F.
P. Love, veteran hunter in these parts,
and rode down to Wilson's cabin, on the
Jones Gap road. The quail were abun-
dant, and after having bagged quite a
number, they adjourned to eat dinner.
Mr.. G. P. Russell and his companion
finished their dinner first, and went out to
enjoy good smoke. A hammerless gun,
which belonged to Mr.. Russell, was left
leaning up against the cabin, while they
got into the buggy and lit their cigars.
Without their being aware of it, little
colored boy, who was with them, got
hold of the gun and began playing with
it. The gun. in some way, was dis
charged, and the whole load of shot
entered Mr.. Russell's right leg below the
hip, passing out above the knee. As the
boy, at the time of shooting, was within
FIVE feet of the buggy, the shot tore
through the flesh in almost solid mass.
His companion was only hit by three
shot, which simply grazed the skin.
Assistance was Immediately procured,
and Mr.. Russell was lifted into the cabin,
while the boy and man were sent post
haste back to Asheville, five miles distant,
for a doctor and carriage. The
strength of the wounded man was kept
up by administering large doses of brandy
until the messengers returned with DR..
Burroughs and carriage. His wound
was then bandaged and he was taken to
the hotel. Luckily, no arteries were
severed, but the shot tore hole as large
as a dollar clean through his leg. I'll
blood poisoning does not set in, his leg
will probably be saved.
Col Steele is doing all he can to make
him comfortable, and his relatives, Mr.. |
and Mrs. Houghleting, are seeing that
everything is being done to relieve his
suffering and ensure his recovery.
Mr.. Russell is a well known club man
in New York, being member of the
Union club in that city. He had come to
Asheville for his health, as he has been
suffering with dyspepsia for some years,
and was under the treatment of London
physician for it while in Asheville.
The doctors do not think that the wound |
will result seriously. He is under the
.are of Drs. Bourroughs and Battle.

JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Anecdotes by Hon. Anthony Ken.
ueGlY.

ueNYS
One of Mr.. Kennedy'S stories about Tef
ferson Davis is especially interesting and
shows that duelling as a settlement for
congressional disputes was held in favor
up to comparatively recent date. Zone
day about $780," he says, in giving an
account of the occurrence, "Mr. Davis and
Mr.. Benjamin became angry with one
another in a debate on the floor of the
senate. Mr.. Benjamin thought his col,
league from the South was talking in too
petulant strain. and exclaimed, angrily
DO you want to insult me, sir? | shall
never forget Mr.. Davis expression when
he waved his hand at Mr.. BENJAMIN as
if he were throwing an insult at him, and
said, with equal emphasis: You have it
now, sirn The occurrence created a SEN
sation among the other senators. Davis
left his seat and sent for Bob Johnson, OF
Arkansas, of whom he thought a great
deal. asked Johnson what they were
going to do, and he answered in low
tone, with his head down to avoid at
tention: Challenge
"All that night Crittenden, Toombs,
and one other man, whose name | can
not remember, worked on Davis in an ef-
fort to get him to make an explanation
to Benjamin, as il was evident there had
been some misunderstanding on both
sides. When the senate met the next
day the men were in their seats. Mr..
Benjamin arose and addressed the pre-
siding officer, withdrawing his remarks
in beautiful speech of ten or fifteen min
utes, which seemed to fall from his mouth
like running water. 1t was fine effort,
but Davis did fully as we'll when it came
his turn to explain"
"As remember Mr.. Davis, the heex.sena-
tor said recently, in talking over reminis-
cences of his lite, "he was a very courte-
GUS man, scrupulously polite to every
body ordinarily, but petulant and cross
when his health was bad, as was often
the case. His habits were temperate.
and he did his work faithfully. Although
he didn't speak often, his remarks were
always delivered with force which COM
manded attention. heard a great deal
of private conversation among the South
ern leaders at Mr.. Davis desk, where
they sometimes collected to talk. Nearly
all they did was decided upon in caucus
beforehand"

A N1iIIlonaire,s Estate.
Charlotte Chronicle.

Charlotte Chronicle.
The contest in Sau Francisco over the
great estate of Thomas H. Blythe, the
millionaire who died in 1888, is of inter.
est to many people in Mecklenburg
and some adjoining counties.
In 1S47, Thomas Blythe left Mecklen,
burg county and went west. He had
two sisters who remained in Mecklen.
burg county, and married in the county.
They have numerous descendants and
relatives in Mecklenburg and Union
counties, and adjoining counties in South
Carolina. They have believed that their
kinsman Thomas Blythe and the mil,
lionaire Thomas Blythe are one and the
same person. If they are correct they
have claims on four million dollar for

An Exciting Shut Down.

SAUGERTIEs, n. Y, December 49,
Tuesday afternoon the paper mills of
B. Sheffield & Son, the bindery of the
Saugerties Blank Book Company, and
envelope factory of ]. Q. Preble &, Co.,
constituting the most important manu-.
featuring interests of this village were
closed. 1t is said that the shut down is
for an indefinite time. These concerns
are owned and operated by the same
individuals, and the pay rolls contain
the names of nearly one thousand persons
receiving from $4,000 to $25,
monthly. The shut down caused the
greatest excitement as it was wholly unex-
pected, and some ofthe departments ofthe
factories were unusually busy. The per-
manent closing of the mills would cause
great distress. THERE'S scarcely family
in the village that it is not either directly
or indirectly interested in their main
tenance.
