WILD WOMAN OF THE MoUNTAINs.
An Exciting Adventure in which asDaueh-
ter Of Senator Butler Figures.


WASHINGTON, D. c.: July 27.A
daughter Of Senator Butler, of South
Carolina, who is summering at Blue.
Mountain, Maryland, had quite an
adventure yesterday afternoon with q:
demented creature who lives in q cave.
in the mountains. With a daughter Of
Judge Thayer, of Philadelphia, Miss
Butler was chatting in the summer
house on the lower lawn when the old
hag made her appearance. She hasa
most hideous form and is calculated to-
frighten any one. Her height is a little
over three feet, her face the acnae of
ugliness, while the nails upon her feet.
and hands are from two to three inches.
long and as black as ink. Not tooth
has she in her head, so that she only
mumbies her wants and desires. She
can yell loud enough, however, as is
was one of her shrieks that first af-

Her body was almost nude, a few rags,

AS soon as the ladies saw hersthey ran
as fast as they could to the hotel. The.
bag ran, too, and might have overtaken
them, had not Mr.. James P. Shannon;
and several other gentlemen rushed to
their rescue. ~-.,-.
The old woman wasted away by an
officer and cautioned never to return to
the Blue Mountain grounds again. She
is well known to the mountaineers and
is regarded as harmless creature: She
is called the wild woman of the mona-
tains, and is frequently quoted TO
naughty children by indiscreet nurses.

cLARKsoN BEATS THE RECORD
He has Removed 5000 More Postmasters
in the Same Space Of Time than Mr..
Villas.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York SUM-
WASHINGTON, July 25- Represea-
tative Milton Delano, of New York,
was in the city this week interviewing
the postmaster general about some
changes in the postofices in this dis
trict. Some one asked him how he was
getting along with the postotfice de-
partment. "Pretty WE'LL" he replied.
"There are 100 fourth-class postmasters
in my district and l40 of them are now
run by Republicans. The Others pay so
little that there is no demand for a
change. I am pretty well satisfied with
the Administrations"
Ifthe fourth class postoftices were
the only offices under the Government
in which Immediate changes were
desired, there would not be much
cause for dissatisfaction; in fact, this
would be the most popular Admins
tration with the office-seekers in the
history of the Government. First AS
sistant Postmaster General Clarkson
has fully met every expectation OF the
members Of Congress. In the space OF
time in which Mr.. Villas, four years ago,
removed 1000 postmasters ofthe fourth
class, Mr.. Clarkson removed $4,000.
His best record was 1,015 in one week.
He is making removals now at the
rate of about 800 per week. At this
rate it will not be long before the 55,-
900 fourth class postofices in the coun-
try are in the hands of good repub-
licans.
The doctrine which Mr.. Clarkson SO
we'll exemplified in his works he does
not hesitate to preach. 1t was Mr..
Clarkson who went to the President at
time when there was great complaint
in the work of making room for good
Republicans in the public offices, and
said to him:
"Do you think you would have been
elected if the people had thought you
were going to do this? How many
votes do you think you would have
had in the Chicago Convention if the
men there had believed that you were
going to leave Democrats in office so
long?" ......... -.

CONDEMNED HIM TO DEATH.
&
Remarkable Utterances of Colonel Pages
Paper on His Assassination.
New York World.

CHARLOTTE, n. c., July 2S.-The
following very remarkable account of
the assassination of Col. Roger J. Page
at Marion Monday night last was print
ed to-day in the Marion TImes-Regis-
ter, owned and edited up to the time
of death by the deceased:
'This quiet town was Monday night
last the scene of a terrible tragedy that
shocked the whole community beyond
any occurrence that has ever transpired
here. Col. Roger J. Page, the former
editor of this paper, left town on the3
O'Clock west bound train to visit Round
Knob. He returned at midnight by the
train going east, due here at y. He
left the train in company with Judge
Hazlewood, of Texas, and one or two
other gentlemen, and proceeded on
foot to Dellinger Hotel. When about
one hundred and fifty yards from the
depot he was shot, the ball entering at
the back of his neck and breaking it.
He expired instantly. Several parties
were present, but the glare of the head
light Of the engine passing the scene of
the tragedy made it impossible to re-
cognize the form or features of the per-
son who fired the shot. Colonel Page
fell dead at first shot, but three or four
other shots were fired in quick success
sion.
The facts as they can be gathered are
simply these: Colonel Pass. was mar
ried man, living apart from his wife
for some years, she being a resident Of
New York. He married the daughter
of the late John Mitchell, the Irish
patriot, who controlled Or edited the
Richmond Examiner during the war.
He came to Asheville some three years
ago to practice the profession of law.
He became dissatisfied with the results
of his efforts and some months ago
came to Marion and took charge of the
Bugle (newspaper) and changed its
name, after shortTtime to the Times
Register. The office of the Times
Register was on Courthouse street,
nearly opposite the dwelling house Of
one OF our prominent citizens. He was
received into the family as visitor
and looked upon as a gentleman, being
man OF fine intellectual attainments,
-, educated and cultured and a fine con-
vePsatlonalist. Itsoon became evident to
i, shose who took the trouble. to observe

The Merchant Marine.

The largest wooden vessel built was
the OceGn King, Of Kennebunk, Me-.
of 2,516 tons. which was lost about
two years ago, since which time the
billings, of 9, ,497 tons, has stood at the
head, although Arthur Sewell, of Bath,
is about to build a wooden ship still
larger. There are six Maine ships now
afloat, however, nearly as large as the
billings, to wit: Henry q. Hyde, of
Bath, 2,463 tons; Willie ROSenfeld.
of Bath, 1883 tons; 4. G. Ropes, of
Thomaston, 2,3i2 tons; Com. Z. II.
Allen, of Richmond, 2,371 tons; John
X. Kelley, of Bath, 2,255 tons; and
Robert Il. BeIknGp, of Rockport, 2,251
tons.
There are seven iron sailing vessels
now afloat, whose tonnage is more
than that of the Frederick Billings,
the largest being the P0lgF0re of
Glasgow, 3,0S7 tons; and five steel
sailing vessels British-Of more
than 1900 tons each. The whole
number of sailing vessels of over 1900
tons now ahoat is III, of which 65 are
wooden-all but ten of them being
American, 81 iron (three, of them Am
erican) and steel. All of the great
American sailing vessels now afloat
were built in Maine shipyards, most
of them at Bath. 1t should be borne
in mind that it is only within com
paratiyely few years that ships of over
1000 tons were built.
The flagship of Columbus was only
300 tons. The great American clipper
ships which won such fame thirty-five
years ago were only about 1920 tons.
At that time a schooner of 300 tons
was a big one. Now schooners are be-
ing built of 1,200 and even 1900 tons,
and are being used in the foreign
trade and on voyages where only
square-rigged vessels were employed
until within ten or fifteen years-the
advantage being that q schooner
rigged vessel can be worked with one
half the men that ship, bark or brig
or other square-rigged vessel can be
sailed.

The price paid for seal skins in Vic
toria is from So to 81. They have TO
be sent to London to be prepared, as
there is only one house in the world
where the work can be done. The
peculiar art is In coloring so that tho
color viii be fast. The art was dis
covered by a chemist many years ago,
and the secret is transmitted to the
Oldest son as an hereditament. The
skin goes through several processes
by different hands who are not allowed
to know any process other than that
they are employed IN, and the finish
ing touches are put on by the owner
of the secret. A large sum of money
has frequently been offered by per-
sons for the secret, but without sue
cess, and many chemists have at
tempted to discover it by analysis
and failed. Others have also attempt
ed to invent substitute, but they
have failed, and others still are expert
menting. There is only one place in
this city where seal skins are prepared.
but they are not finished as good as
the imported article. 1t is therefore
certain that seal skins will always be
high, unless some one breaks the seal
of silence on the lips of the owner of
the secret.

THE ARIZONA KICKER.

He WAS CoRRECT.-There was con-
siderable astonishment exhibited by
our people the other day when the
governor of Arizona shook hands with
us in front of the postofice, and We
have noticed considerable change in
the demeanor of certain people to-
ward us ever since. The governor
was correct. We are no clam-shell
hidden in the drifts, and he appre-
ciates the fact. He knows and re-
spects the power of the press. He
knows that a great paper like the
Kicker, having behind it, but under
one and the same roof, a grocery, feed
store, butcher shop, harness shop,
crockery store and gents furnishing,
must WELD a mighty influence of
good.
The people in this burgh who have
been looking upon us as a one-mule
power had better get their eyes open
