VERY BAD BILLS
Are Those of the Defumct Bank
of MeCkIenburH,

But unprincipled holders of the same
seem to experience no difficulty in pass
ing them off upon unsuspecting shopmen
and Others with as much ease as they
were wont to pass in the days of the ex-
istence of the old bank at Charlotte. The
bills closely resemble the national bill OF
the same denomination, and in the dark
one would have to scan its face twice be-
fore he could distinguish the difference be-
tween the two. Consequently crooks
have an easy time of it in distributing
them around, and make considerable
clear profit by every transfer. All over
the State reports OF the circulation of
these bills have been heard, and it does
seem that our people would be a little
more careful in accepting money from
strangers after all the sad experiences
they have passed through in this re-
spect.
But they are not, and are just as liable
to take bad dollar as a good one, if
they happen to be a little hurried, or the
wealth is taken in at night. Carl KauE
man, salesman at Whitlock's, is out
a dollar by reason of the latter cause,
and the way it happened runs this wise ;
Late last night stranger came into the
store, purchased an article costing a
dime, threw dollar bill on the counter,
received ninety cents in change, and said
good evening" This was the last seen
of him, but not of the dollar he had left
behind. Later when the cash was being
made up, it was discovered that the dol
lar the stranger had left was bill of the
old bank of Mccklcnburg an institution
that has long since passed away" and
wasn't worth the paper it was printed
upon. The salesman was charged up
with a dollar, and poCketing his "relc"
said if he ever ran across a grecner man
than himself he would turn over to him
the Mecklenburg bill as a mark of respect
to his super-eminent verdancy.
Several of these bad bills have been
worked off on different parties in the city
during the past two or three days, SO it
was learned last night. 1t would be
well, therefore, to examine money of any
denomination or character when offered,
especially by strangers.

breaking silence.

We take the following bit of informa-
ton from the Raleigh correspondence OF
the Petersburg Index-Appeal. 1t has al
ways occurred to us that the reticence en-,
forced by railroad companies on the oc-
casion of accident was unmeaning and
wrongful, adding greatly to the distresses
of friends of parties involved in the acci,
dent, productive of great and prejudicial
exaggeration, prolonging the agonies Of
suspense, and only resulting in magnify,
ing the mysterious Importance of certain
employees. In such cases it is better to
know, as soon as possible, the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth:
1t has been a custom of railroad au,
thorities, in this section, to refrain from
giving members of the press information
relative to accidents, and this, in many
instances, has led to sensational state.
ments, injurious ito the roads, causing un.
Just comment. 1t seems to have been de
ter1nined to depart from this custom il
the future, at least so far as the Rich
mond and Danville system is concerned
and, it is hoped, the policy will be adopted
by the railroad companies generally.

ENGLISH MARKETS.
They are Firm but the Increase Is
Not AppreciabIe.

MANCHESTER, England, September r.
The Guardians commercial article says
The market is firm. but the increase in
business is not appreciabie. Reluctance
to purchase freely is remarkable, in view
of the fact that the upward movement in
quotations has Jagged far behind the rise
in raw material, especially when the
present curtailmcnt of production is con
sidercd. Buyers admit that the increase
in value is moderate, yet tn y remain un-
moved by cheapncss or prospect of di-
minishcd supply. Eastern telcgrams do
not afford better prospects.
Japan reports weakness in staple goods.
The demand from minor foreign and
home markets is moderate.
The stoppage oflooms consequent upon
a lack of orders is still in progress. Ii is
impossible to estimate the extent of the
curtailment.
Export yarns are dull and the demand
is fiat. Cloth departments vary i'll re-
spcct to the engagements of producers
and the amount of business. Large tran
sactions are rare.
Eastern fabrics are mostly firm.
There is some inquiry for best printing
cloth. Plain finishing cloths, as rule,
are firm. Colored woven goods are dull.
Heavy fabrics are quiet.

A COW That Ate Nails.

Murphy Advance: Our efficient butch
er, Mr. A. G. Vaughn killed beef one
day last week and as his wife was engag-
ed in cutting off the tallow, or fat, she
observed bent horse shoe nail protrud-
ing from the entrais. Mr.. Vaughn upon
seeing it there examined farther and
found the stomach of the COW to contain
twenty-five nails of various kinds and
sizes. This may seem unreasonable, but
nevertheless it is fact. Mr.. Vaughn's
standing for veracity is unquestionable
and he brought the nails to town and
gave them to us. The COW at one time
belonged to a blacksmith and it is
thought that while licking salt or eating
hay about his shop she had swallowed
the nails. They never had affected her
as she had been lively and all right up to
the time she was butchered.

THE BUILDING BOOM,
Eew Houses Going up Oh Every
Street In the City.

To those who travel little about the
city it does not seem that the greatest
building boom Asheville has ever expert
enccd is now in the full tide of its pro,
gress. Yet such is the fact, THE CITIZEN
is happy to note. On every street, al,
most without a single exception, new
buildings of one class or another are
looming up, some in the highest style oil
architectural art and elegance; Others
less pretentious and assuming, but all
going to fill up the waste places-to be
occupied by an active, industrious and
progressive people.
Most of these buildings mentioned arc
private residences, while not few are
for factory purposes, hotels, storehouses,
warehouses, etc. Notable among the
latter class of structures are the Harkins,
McAfee, Reynolds and Spears blocks,
on Patton avenue, the Hull tobacco fac
the electric street railway building on
South Main street; the Halyburton hotel
at the new passenger depot, Demens G.
Taylor's factory at the same place, and
score or more Others in different sec
tions of the city.
All this goes to show that Asheville is
fast growing in industrial and manufac-
turing Importance and enterprise, while
the many handsome new residences dot
ting the landscape here and there like the
stars in the sky, prove beyond all dis
putc our city's preeminent claim to rank
other cities of the world as the God
favored domain ofhappy and magnificent
homes.
Asheville is growing fast; she is wider
ing out; her business is extending; her
population increasing; her fame goeth
out to the world at large, and her beau
ties and benefits, her activity and push is
the wonder of men. Let her not 90
backward i'll this her bright era of pros
perity; keep her well to the front, and let
every Ashevillian earnestly and industri-
Ously, in season and out of season, work
for Asheville-the queen city of the west
the pride OF all North Carolina.

NEW YORK, September 4.-Futures
were slightly dearer on very strong re-
port from Liverpool where the corner re-
mains unbrokcn; but at the close, the
only decided advance was for September
options, for which demand was more ur-
gent, especially at the close, as port re-
ceipts fell below the estimates. Crop
accounts were generally good, but dam
age by worms was frequently mentioned.
Receipts at ports this day were 6,395
bales, against SOP last week, and g.
500 last year. Cotton on spot was dull

then took large dose of NOR

physician of New York, from whom he
had inherited a princely fortune. Hewas

invested in her lands, railroads,
water works, lumber mills and other
enterprises. 1t is said that nearly
all of his inheritance has been either lost,
or tied up in such manner that it was
unremunerative to him, and that the fear
that he had involved Others in his re-
verses drove him to desperation and sui
eide. Lente was well connected and had
among his friends many of the leading
men of Florida. He was unmarried. His

British ship of war Acorn was compelled
to put to sea last night owing to numer.
Gus assertions. Five sailors seized a
steam cutter Monday night and escaped
to shore. Lieutenant Valentine met an
other descrter who knocked him down
and escaped. The reason given by the
sailors for this wholesale desertion is
harsh treatment.
