Homicide Case.

The inquest over the remains of George

sandy Foster Sends a Couple OF
Bullets After Robert smith.

= traCaS that came near terminating il
/ murder took place at 33 South Mair
I street, about nine o'clock last evening
! the particulars of which are about as fol
lows
5 At IT, number designated is a grocery
store conducted by colored men, and in
| which Robert Smith, also colored, is en-
ploycd. Sandy Foster, turbulent negro
about town who is in trouble oltener
than he is out, went into the store and
asked Smith to sell him cigar on credit
Knowing Sandy's failure to pay tor
anything which he could obtain without
first putting up the rocks" Smith re-
fused to let him have the cigar. Sandy
became very much incenscd at Smiths
dcClination to sell him the cigar, and set
i'll to roundly cursing and abusing the
clerk, finally winding up with the dccIa-
ration that "il had a pistol I'd blow
The top of your head off. Thercupon
Smith put Sandy out OF the store. Eos
ter went off and soon returned with Il
3S-Calibrc revolver which he had Dor
rowcd from one of his friends, and re-
ncwcd the trouble with Smith. His Ian
guage was awful and his threats to per
iOratc Smiths anatomy with Il couple
Of No. IS bullets were frequent and en-
| Phatic. Next he made a break
ior clerk Smith, who picked up Il
small box of potatoes near by and
with it soon tlattencd the bclligerent
Sandy out. As soon as he could get on
his feet again Sandy pulled his gun and
lcvcling ii at Smith fired at him twice
scarcely a seconds time intervening be
tween the two reports.
A crowd rushed up among which were
two or three policemen. Sandy broke
and ran, with chief Of police Baird and
officer Bradley closely behind him. He
was finally caught hiding under an out
house back Of the old Eagle hotel build |
ing, with the revolver still in his hand |
Officer Bradley pulled him out and took |
him to the station house, where he spent
the night in the cage. Neither OF the
shots took effect, fortunately, but how
they missed hitting some oncof the many
people standing by at the time is a mys-
terry.
Sandy will have hearing before the
Mayor this morning, and will be, beyond
doubt, committed to Jail to stand trial
on a charge Of intent to kill with deadly
weapon, at the coming term of the GRIM
inal court.
Foster is a bad, notoriously bad negro,
and his attempt at murder last night is
but another illustration of his total de-
pravity and cussedness.

HIGHER EDUCATION.
The RaVemscrOH High ScOOI for
BOYS

Opens to-day with very bright pros
poets. 1t is diocesan school established
under the controlof the Episcopal church
Otthc Diocese of North Carolina, managed
through Board Of Fellows, 1t is open,
however, to pupils of all denominations
who may apply for admission. 1t is pro-
posed and determined to make it high
school in character as well as in name,
and to that end the teachers have been
selected with great care with reference to
the highest qualifications of scholarship,
adaptation to their work, and personal
character.
The head master is Mr.. Ronald Nc
Donald. He is here with his family This
gentleman is the son of the widely known
author George Mcdonald, was educated
ut the University Of Oxford with diStinc-
tion,taught successful Y in England some
years, and removing to the United States,
taught here two years before accepting
his present appointment. He is a thor.
ough classical scholar, and familiar with
German and French.
Mr.. Bisscl, second master, is the son of
a missionary now in India, where per
hapS he himself was born, but he was
educated i'll America. graduating with
high honor at Yale, and is a Thoroughly
educated, genial gentleman.
The matron is Miss Ida Rumsrur, of
Lincoln county, we believe.
The High School is designed to prepare
pupils for our State University or forany
other, and also to fit them for practical
business life. Besides the ancient Ian
guagcS, the French and German will be
taught-without extra charge. And it
may be here stated that the annual
charge for board and tuition covers all
charges; there are no extras.
A pleasant feature, as sconturmng to the
modern IDEAS oiphysical education, is that
both Mr.. Mcdonald and Mr.. Bisscll are
skilled athletes, masters of all the science
OF the gymnasium.
We are glad to learn that thcprospcctS
OF the school are excellent, a large MUM
bcr of applications for admissions having
been made, and many letters of inquiry
received.
We hope this new addition to the higher
facilities of AShcvillc will be
ulIy recognized and amply rewarded.

TIE IIARKINS BUILDING
WILL. NOT BE RENTED TO THE
L. $. GOVERNMENT,
Its Owner Tells The Citizen why
the POstOfTiCe Will not be I.Oca-
ted OH His I'rOperty-The Rent
Offered Entirely Too Low.


a CITIZEN representative yesterday
afternoon learned from ex-Mayor Har-
kins that he had positively refused to
rent his new building on Patton avenue
to the government as site for the loca
ton OF the city postoliicc.
The reason for this refusal is based
upon the fact that the government is
willing to pay Mr.. Harkins only $4OO
per year for the use OF his handsome
brick and granite structure; and the ex-
mayor is not built i'll way that war
rants HIM in furnishing free buildings for
United States postoffccs at this particu-
lar season of the year. Therefore, he
declined to consider them unifcent onerof
Uncle sam, and the whole thing is de-
clarcd off.
Besides, Mr.. IIarkins has already
about concluded contract to rent the
same premises to n private individual
for $75 per month, and if the postoffice
is removed it will not be found domicied
on Mr.. Harkins Patton avenue property
at a rental of 500 per year His dccis-
ION in the matter is absolutely final, and
Uncle Sam will have to hunt some other
building i'll which to carry on the postal
branch OF his business in Ashcvlc
1t is rumorcd that Mr.. w. T. REYNOLDS
has offered one Of the large store-rooms
IN his handsome opera house building to
the government as a suitable site for the
location of the postotlicc but as THE
CITIZEN was unable to find that gentle
men last evening, the truth or falsitv of
such statement could not be directly
established.
In the meanwhile, II Ecndry block is
still vacant. 1t is Il large and convenient
room; well adapted in every particular
for the location of the postoflicc, besides
being more centrally located than any
other available building in the city. WHY
would it not be Just the thing to cstab-
iish the postoffiCc in the Iendry block?

in her house last evening with her baby
in her arms, and two other small chill

soon cnvclopcd in flames. Mrs Goba ran
into the back yard with the baby, but,
by the time assistance reached them
both were SO badly burned that they died
in short time The other two children
were fcartully burned and their recovery

which however we do not disdain.
