Haytian AfTairS-Mail Robbery
POstOhiCe strike. Etc.

WASHINGTON, September 5.-The State
department has received from Minister
Thompson at Hayti report upon the
condition of affairs there, which confirms
what has already been printed fully in
the newspapers concerning the changes in
the government on the island. Nothing
new is given in the dispatch.
The postoffice department is informed
that the east and westbound mail stages
were held up and robbed of all registered
matter near Ager, Cal, on the night of
the Bird instant Inspector Zeboldt has
been authorized to offer a reward of ST.
600 for the apprehension of the thieves.
Bond offerings to-dayaggrcgated $716,-
$50, all accepted at 1913 for four per
cents, and 1861 for four and halls.
The postoffice department to-day re-
ceivcd a telegram from the postmaster
at Spokane Falls, Washington Territory,
saying that the office force threatened to
strike tomorrow on account of the
small allowances for the office for sala-
rics of the men. The department has tel
egraphed to the chief clerk of the rail-
way mail service at Portland, Oregon,
to go at once to Spokane Falls and be
prepared to make up the dispatch of
mails should it be found necessary to do
so. The department also telegraphed
the postoffice inspector at San Francisco
to proceed to Spokane Falls to take
charge of the office if threatened strike
takes place.

THE TRUCK GAVE WAY.
An Accident tn a Freight Train
Near COOper'S Yesterday.

The wcstbound mail train over the
Western North Carolina road from Sails
bury was an hour late in reaching the
city yesterday afternoon owing to an ac-
cident which beIell freight train on the
same road, near Coopcrs' station, nine
miles east of the city. The accident was
caused by the giving away of one of the
trucks of the freight train, about three
o'clock in the afternoon, and the derail-
ment of another car from the track. No
body was injured and but very little
damage was done beyond the smashing
up of the faulty truck. An engine, car
rying jacks and other apparatus, was
Immediately sent to the relief of the disa-
bled train, from this city, and in a short
while after its arrival the wreck was
cleared away, the track opened, and
travel was resumed. The rumor that
one of the trainmen received serious inju-
ries by reason of the accident was totally
unfounded, as not single person re-
ceived a scratch.

ABOUT THE SEWER.
The Last Payment OH It's Con-
StructlOn Made Yesterday,

Contractor John J. Jacoby left the city
for Gordonsville, Va, yesterday, having
received from the city treasurer the last
payment on his contract for the con-
struction of the Asheville sewerage svs-
tenn, amounting to So, $685. This sum
represents the ten per cent. of the whole
bid of $23, ,059.55, which was reserved
by the city until the lines had all been
laid and the contract complied with
In talking with city clerk Miller yes
terday afternoon, that gentleman said ::
80 far as Mr.. Jacobys work in con-
structing the sewerage is concerned,
think he has given the city an excellent
job--there is no cause for complaint
whatever, and there is no reason why it
shall not stand first-class, the uses for
which it is constructed. 1t is a very fine
piece of work"
There is over twelve miles of this sew
erage in the city, and with the exception
vi q NV ShOl IllSo " bS luuSu DIS llGCeS-
sity or convenience shall demand, Ashe-
vile has all the sewerage she will require
for some years to come. The pipe used
is the very best quality of the vitrifed
article, and every length, joint and "Y"
was thoroughly tested and examined
before it was placed in position.
Mr.. Jacoby had the contract far lay
ing the whole line, and it is the opinion
of experts here in such matters that he
not only gave Asheville good job-but
the very best job that could he done in
sewerage construction.
The city owes not single cent to-day
upon its excellent sewerage system, and
from the appropriation voted by the
people, a snug balance remains in the
treasury to be applied to such other in
ternal improvements as the city fathers
may elect.
Great is Asheville, and astonishing is
her energy, and "get-up-and-git" procliv-
tiles. Keep your eye on her. She's forg-
ing ahead and is bound to get there"

CHICAGO REVIEW.
BuSinc = ia the Grain Center Dur
ing Yesterdays Session.

CHICAGO, September 5.-Thcre was a
continuation of dullness in the spccula-
tive market for wheat to-day. The clos
ing quotations for futures were about
lsc. below those of yesterday, with trad
ing confined largely to December and
May. The fluctuations were extremely
narrow throughout, Hc. covering all OF
The changes.
a fair business was transacted in corn
and the feeling developed was firm, trad
ing being at slightly higher prices. A
strengthening factor was reports of frost
last night in some sections of the West
and the market opened firm at yesterdays
closing prices, but soon sold off Aa2sc.,
offerings being large. Local longs sold
freely. A reaction followed the early de-
cline and the market recovered, which
was due to indications of trosts in Iowa,
Illinois and Indiana tonight. The mar
ket huctuated narrowly within Ac.
range, final quotations being &c. below
yesterday.
Oats were unsettled. Reports of bad
weather and an advance i'll corn had a
strengthening effect on the market and in
duced a liberal buying of May, which
opened 4c. higher. For a time trading
was brisk, but after buyers had been
filled up weakness set in and prices re-
ccdcd 1Ic., rallied Ac., but reacted at the
close.
Early in the day moderately active
business was done in pork. Prices ruled
somewhat irregular and averaged higher,
closing at about medium figures.
Only small trade was reported lard
and the feeling was easy. Prices ruled
21aa5c. lower and the market closed quiet
at medium figures.
Trading was fairly active in ribs and
the feeling was somewhat unsettled and
prices were irregular. The early market
was stronger and prices 21aa5c. higher,
but with moderately free offerings an
easier feeling prevailed and prices declined
712a1Oc. and closed steady at medium
figures.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL,
The First Three Months of Our
City Administration.

The official acts of the present city ad
ministration; what it has already accom-
plishcd and what it intends accomplish
ing, are topics of much moment and
Importance to the people of this city
whose public affairs they were selected
to wisely control and direct in May last
The administration has rounded the
first quarter OF its official existence, and
in looking over the record of it's deeds
there is no cause visible for complaint by
those who should, if cause existed, com
plain.
While THE CITIZEN shall not, in this
article, verge upon elaboration or exal-
tation of Mayor or Council, it is greatly
pleased to give a brief retrospect of the
first three months of their admnistra-
tive existence
In the first place .hcn, since the sixth
of May (when the present city govern
ment came into powcr,) fines levied in
the police court and collected by the chief
of police, amounts to $1005,99, while
the scale receipts foot up total of $66.-
80. Water rents collected for the quar-
ter runs up $1O73.05, and the sale of
crushed stone, etc, adds to these figures
$50.95 more. City taxes, general and
special, collected and paid into the city
treasury amounts to So, S,6OO.O7, all max
ing grand total of receipts from all
sources in three months of $1O,SS6.1S.
In addition to this, the streets of the
city have been wonderfully improved
notable among which are Bridge, North
and South Main, while several others
have received attention which will be
continued in the very near future.
The sanitary condition of the city, as a
whole, is much more satisfactory than it
has ever been, and strenuous efforts are
being made to make it SO perfect as to be
beyond criticism.
The water-works have received some
needed attention and improvements have
been.added thereto. The fire department
has been looked after and its efficiency
increased by methods and appliances
heretofore much desired. A workhouse
has been erected and a general cleaning
up of the accumulated rubbish III rear of
the station house has had a wholesome
effect.
Many other decided changes for the
better have taken place since the new ad-
ministration came in, and many improve
ments demanded by public necessity and
convenience will be made as soon as is
Especially, will the streets
be placed in better condition, we have
been assured by the Mayor and his
Board.

duce the grand jury to find indictments
against Brown and Welliner for fraud.
To-day, when the officers went so serve
the warrants on the indicted parties, it
was found that they had skipped.

VERY FINE OYSTERS.
Fresh From Norfolk and Served
at Strauss Last Night.

What the "watahmillion" is to the
"colored brother" the oyster is to the
white man. A coon" in the perfect en-
IJoyment of good health will roll back his
eyes till the whites thereof resemble a
mill-pond of milk, work his ears like a
tfy-tan, open his mouth till it presents
something OF the appearance of the en-
trance to the Mammoth cave, and gaze
upon million" till it's green rind turns
pale. He will feel it and thump it; turn
it around and examine it; lift it I'D and
then put it down, dance over it, cry over
1t, smile over it and sing over it, tondle it
and pet it, till his soul is worked up to
such frenzy of delight that only the
opportunity and ability to get himself
on the outside of the luscious fruit will
bring him back to anything like nor
NAL condition. Such is the coon" and
"de million"
The white mans love for the bivalye
while not so outwardly demonstrative
as that of the negro for the melon, is
none the less secretly intense, and a first
class fry or stew, or broil or roast, or
even dozen raw, will make him feel
better than if he had just met an old
friend whom many years had separated
from his presence. He smiles on all he
meets, and is at peace with all mankind
Just after bait of fine, fat oysters such
as Strauss, the South Main street restau-
rateur served to his friends last evening,
and will continue to serve to them every
evening hereafter throughout the season.
Those we ate last night were unusually
large and fat for so early in the season,
and were almost as fresh and sweet as if |
they had just been opened. They were
shipped from Norfolk, Va, and Mr. |
Strauss told us they were the finest |
that could be procured in that market.
