THAT SAME COON.
AdOIPhus Again the Victim of the
EbOn VenuSeS.

The first thing that struck the re-
portorial eye, when he entered the
Mayers court yesterday morning, was
that same Adolphus, who wanted to catch
the train SO badly the day before. There
he stood behind the bar, large as life
deckcd out in Il brown flannel shirt and
white necktie, which was trying very
hardto acquire the same color and with
pretty fair success. The same bCvy OF
black maids surrounded him, only they
were acusCrs instead of sympathizers as
on the day before. The fair sex are very
tickle, Adolphus You see Adolphus had
sucumbed to the temptations of party
and had Staid over for it, 1t was bad
stroke of policy for Adolphus when he
did this. He had already won her
affections and it was a good time for
him to go away. But he didn't. And
here he is charged with striking her, and
with many a sigh and tear, he tells the
Mayor about that bad sweetheart of his.
"Ycs, Sab war some skeered. Deed
was frightened right smart. We war
all about our tolishneSs teazin him about
being locked up and the fust thing
knew he struck me. He skecred me to
never had no man strike me beto'
Here poor Matte broke off her tcsti-
mony and wept aloud, as she thought OF
how that wicked Adolphus had treated
her. But when Adolphus was fined ten
dollars and costs, Matte dried her tears,
smiled Sweetly on him, fshed two dollars
from her pockctbook and gave it to him.
Three more crisp one dollar bills were
produced by Adolphus and then, with a
melancholy sigh he took off his watch
and chain, and deposited it with the five
dollars on the table. The security was
taken and Adolphus was released But
the Mayor examined the watch carefully
after his departure laid it down with
doubtful look in his eye.
at will push us pretty hard to get
Sc for that, won't it, Mayor :"
YES regretfully answered the latter
"it will, unless we swop it."
One hour after this scene took place,
Adolphus was seen sailing down the
street with the same ebony damsels in his
wake. All were in high feather, chatting
and laughing as if nothing had happened.
AIlem! Who ever could tell what wo-
man would do next?

Tale and Marble in Cherokee.

The Murphy Advance of the 18th,
speaking of the operations OF the Kim
sey Company in Cherokee county, says:
Madam Rumor has it that the tale
works formerly operated by the Atlanta
Mercantile Company, will change hands
shortly, and work again be resumed
Should this prove a fact, together with
the Kimsey Company's works in success
full operation. our settlement will enjoy a
real live boom.
The Kimsey Company have not yet
erected their mammoth derrick pole, but
will do so as soon as another engine and
machinery arrives. The marble so lar
taken out by this company is ofa very
superior quality, and they are no doubt
pleased with the future outlook.
Two buildings have recently been
erected here, in the structure of which
marble enters with fine external effect. II
is Georgia marble. The result is so pleas
ing that such use will largely increase
We impatiently await the time wher
Cherokee marble, quite as fine, if not
really better, will displace all others. Lei
the Kimsey Company look in this direc
tion, and make use of the railroad a
soon as it is finished.

plOyes resident i'll Virginia, just prior to
the late election and i'll violation of the
civil service law, circular letters soliciting
contributions for campaign purposes.
While the commissioners are retiCent on
the subject, it is believed that the com
mission is confident of having made out
a prima tacie case against the accused,
and they have recommended tothe Pres
ident their prosecution. The circular, it
is understood, was signed by {. A. New
ton, president, and Brook L. Smith, sec
retary. Upon the lettcrhead appeared
the printed names of the officers, some of
whom are now in the employ OF the gov
ernment. What action the President
will take, if any, is not yet known.
The commission appointed by Sccrc-
tarv Whitney last January, pursuant to

Accidents w,u rrarpcnt

And so soon after / O'Clock tuesday
morning an armature in dynamo at
the electric works gave out, and THE
CITIZEN Office plunged into darkness and
the same machine that furnishes the in
candesCent lights also provides power for
our press. We could improvise lights,
but not power, aud were compelled to
wait until daybreak before we could find
the needed manual labor to work our
large press; hence the delay yesterday
morning in getting THE CITIZEN distribu-
ted through the city. Last night the in
candescent lighes were in eclipse, though
the arc lights were in full glow. No
time was lost in providing for the diff
Guilty; and last night Mr.. Arther in
formed us that he had just been notified
by telegraph by the Brush company,
that an armature was shipped yesterday
to replace the destroyed one. By to-
morrow night-certainly Friday night,

CRIMINAL. COURT.
Business Transacted Yesterday
Fore Murder Trial To-Day.

The court resumed its sitting yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock. In the case OF
Harper Site aud BaiJy the jury returned
the verdict of guilty and fine of S25
and costs was imposed.
he first case in the morning was that
of Elihu Britt, Wiley Foster, John Hall
and Wash eagle. They were charged
with obstructing and altering the road
which leads from the iron bridge, across
the French Broad river, to the mouth OF
Smiths mill creek The indictment
against these men was grounded on the
accusation that they threw great guam
titles of dirt and stones into the road
from what is known as Graham's S quarry
The jury returned verdict of not guilty
The following pleaded guilty and judg-
ment was suspended on payment of cost
Lcnesa DAWSON, Joseph King, Abe Davi-
SON and John Garlingson.
The chief interest OF the day was the
trial of Mart Honeycutt on the charge OF
having entered the store of up. Ledhet-
ter & Co., about twelve miles distant
from Asheville, on August 9th and hav-
ing stolen a quantity of general merchan-
disc Suspicion was directed towards
him on account of the tracks, which lead
from the store. being traced to within a
short distance of his boarding house.
Also a number of the articles, which were
stolen, were claimed to have been found
on his person The defense based its
case on the fact that the testimony OF
several witnesses tended to establish an
alibi and also that Mart had shown the
goods found on him to several persons,
previous to the time of the robbery. At
II o'clock last night the case was still
undecided.
The trial of William Fore begins this
morning and the sheriff has summoned a
special venire OF a hundred men to report
to-day at 10 a. m.
We were indebted last night to Mr..
II Hard wick, for the fact that the court
adjourned at fifteen minutes before twelve
o'clock and that the jury was still out
in the case OF the State VS.. Honeycutt,
and had not agreed on a verdict.

There was quite Il rumpus in one OF the

O'Clock. After The smoke of battle had
cleared away, it was found that Louis
Fish had battered jaw. He told the
police that he went out to feed his steers
and WAS kicked by mule. But all will
agree that this looks like fish story.
The darkcy had a good time of it on
Monday night. Qute a number OF them
congrcgated in the square and, inspired
by Il little corn liquor. proclaimed their
want of fear for the police. One of them
was too full for utterance and leaned
carcssingly against an electric light pol,
and wept copiouSly, ever repeating the
refrain, "G'way George, arnt altered OF
the piece, hic-but arn't gwine to git
in the caIaboose nohow."
The morning tram due Yesterday morn.
ing at 40 did not make its appearance
during the day; and the l.36 p. m. train
was two hours late. The splendid con-
ditioll Of the roads from DanN lille to Ashe-
vile, all the way, torbids the suggestion
OF any delay on them or any part o.
them. The delays occur beyond Danville,
and the Midland road from there to
Washington City, whether rightly or
otherwise, is made the scapegCat The
trains of our system generously wait at
Danvile, SO that beIated passengers from
beyond need not be deprived of all hope,
But delays are now so much the rule
rather than the exception, that they are
becoming tiresomely monotonous.
