The Leicester Railroad.

Apropos of the meeting which will be
held at Turkey creek on Saturday to dis
cuss the DISABILITY of establishing a
better communication between that place
and Asheville, is the proposition of a
party, which has excited much comment,
He proposes to build roof over the
streets, instead ofhaving them macadam-
lied They say, that truth is often
stranger than fiction, but in this case,
fiction has the start in this idea.
In Bellamy's Looking Backward" will
be found the same idea in a different
form. There, it is stated, that among
the inventions Of the year 1000 will be a
covering which will be let down over the
sidewalks whenever it rains, so that,
instead of each man having an umbrella,
there will be one huge, common umbrella.

We are informed that the court may
possibly adjourn on Saturday-to-mor-

will be extended into the first two DAYS
ofnext week. The court is for the con-
side alton of civil causes only.
Judge Whitaker entered upon the du-
ties OF his first court with an ease and
familiarity with the routine of business

pected. He is courteous, prompt and ac-
curate in his rulings, and gives brilliant
promise Of the able, learned, and upright

knights of1.abor Convention.

ATLANTA, Ca, November 21.-Mr
Powdcrly says Of the case alleged to be
brought against him bv Callahan, that
it grows out of a newspaper attack upon
him by Callahan, and is probably in
stigatcd by McGaw, recently expelled
from the order. The Knights met at
Harrisburg in 1887 to look into Pennsyl-
vania legislation, McGaw being secretary
of the meeting He was left to make the
report, which Powderly says, he seems
to have delayed doing. Callahan was in
the legislature and asked for the report
McGaw, so Powdcrly says, blamed
Powderly with the delay. Callahan at
tackled him i'll the newspapers, and
Powderly replied by printing in the labor
organs, Callahans newspaper attack
and his letters to Powderly. Powdcrly
says he knows OF no case against him.
Mr.. Powd rly and the members Of the
executive board of the Knights of Labor,
were i'll session to-day, closing up the
work Of the convention. Almost all the
delegates have left the city and others
will leave tomorrow

a Fatal Fire Near BLACK Noun
tain Station.

The Rev. Mr.. &. A. Bartlett, OF Black
Mountain station, yesterday gave us the
particulars ofa most distress ng incident,
rumors Of which had before reached us.
He says that on Monday night about
10 O'Clock, a fire occurred IN the house OF
Mr.. Charles Henderson, who lived about
four miles from Black Mountain station.
The family had all retired, and were
asleep with the exception of one child,
who, lying awake, saw fire in thc3cciing.
Rousing her mother Mrs. Henderson
opened the door opening from her bed
room into the dining room. This apart
ment was IN full blaze, and through the
opening the fire rushed into the bed room
and almost instantly flooded it with
flames. The frantic mother rushed to Il
bed where two of her children were still
lying sleeping soundIy, one of them a
child of ten, the other OF seven years OF
age, and wrapping the bed clothing
'li Oulu WHAT III iSI NIlU IldSlC SllG DCIlCNCu
to be the bodies OF both, with the
strength that only the desperation of a
mothers love could give bore the buudlc
out into the open air. To her unuttcra-
Bile horror there was only one of the
children; the little seven year old one
had been left behind and to perish; for
though Mrs. Henderson made repeated
effort to re-entcr the house in which she
was badly burned, she WAS driven back
by the flames which had now uncon-
trolled mastery, and she was compelled
to submit to the horrible knowledge that
her little one had perished.
The surviving family, escaping in their
night clothes, lost everything. They
saved absolutely nothing, made perfectly
desolate. Charity has made many ap-
peals. 1t can make none more forciblc
or Just than this. We make the appeal
in behalf of these destitute and afflicted,
Tor contributions, i'll money or in kind
Those who do kindly contribute will ad-
dress to Rev.G. y. Bartlett, Black Noun
tain Station, Buncombe courty, \. {.

the rain of the night before, the execrabc
condition of the crossings, and also, Of
some of the sidewalks, was made worse,
il that is possible.
In the city code it seems that the or
dinance, and the charter conflict in many
respects. BY the ordinance, the power is
given to the Mayor to decide the nature
and reputation of house. whereas by
the charter, the board of alderman have
the power to decide anything nuisance
and see that the nuisance is abated.

Bob Cole and Doc Wilson had a little
fracas Wednesday night, which might
have proved very serious to one of the
participants They had quarrel over
game of pool and Cole slapped Wilson
in the face. The natter was amicably
arranged and they shook hands and
seemingly parted the best OF friends. But
an hour attcrward, as Cole was stand
ing on a corner of the square, Wilson
brushed past him and stabbed him in
the back of the head with the small blade
of a pen knife, Luckily the blade bent
and broke off and only inflicted a flesh
wound. Wilson took to his heels and
escaped after the blow had been given.
Cole seems none the worse and pulled
out the point of the blade himself. His
hand is blistered from his attempts to
extract it. Hewent to the doctor and had
his head bandaged yesterday morning,
but 1t was only from fear OF having a
cold settle in the wound.
