THE VERDICT.
The Result of the Boyle Tria'
Much Talked About.


The trial of Father Boyle, which termi-
mated at the stroke of 2 O'Clock Satur-
day night, resulting i'll verdict OF gull,
ty, and the death sentence, was the all
absorbing topic of interest yesterday and
Sunday There was great diversity OF
opinion expressed as to the justice OF the
verdict. Many were greatly surprised
when the verdict was announced.
1t was stated yesterday that one Of the
iurvnen was relative of the family OF
the prosecutrix and it was also contra
dicted that two OF the jurymen were
Catholics.
Bovle's statement and his conduct pend
ing the death sentence on Saturday night
have been much talked about. Notwith-
standing the fact that it was midnight
when the verdict was brought III, the
court house was crowded. The motions
of the counsel for the defense to set aside
the verdict and asking new trial hav-
ing been overruled the condemned man
was allowed to speak before sentence
was pronounced When he faced the
audience he seemed as cool, deliberate
and Indifferent as if the matter at hand
was of theSmost trivil nature. Hespoke
only few words. He did not ask for
the mercy OF the court nor did he refer i'll
any way to the crime or any point i'll the
evidence. He simply denounced the at
torneys on the other side and said the
prosecution had been unfair and blood
thirsty. He excepted Solicitor Argo and
said that he did not complain OF any un-
fairness on his part. He was extremely
bitter in his denunciation of Messrs.
Tones and Devereux. In conclusion he
turned to the Judge and said: 81 now
submit myself to the sentence of this
court which am ready to receive" He
made a slight bow and stood with his
arms folded. Judge Armfeld told him to
be seated. While the sentence was being
pronounce he sat erect with his head
thrown back. He did not finch and not
the slightest change could be seen in his
countenance while the sentence was
being pronounced. At two or three
times while he was talking there was
loud applause from the audience.
Father Boyle, although sentenced to
be hanged November 20, is safe from ex-
ecution till next Spring, as his appeal
may not come up till then. The appeals
from the fourth district will come up two
weeks from yesterday, but the law pro-
vdes that cases tried at a term Of court
which is going on the same time as the
supreme court need not be carried INTO
the latter, when an appeal is granted, till
the next term of the supreme court. The
| figures show that the cost to the State
OF the BOYLE case since his arrest May has
amounted to $4,000

Frost and Ice.

The promise of Monday evening did
not disappoint expectation. Yesterday
morning at I o'clock we found our thel-
mometer indicating 26 above zero, and
white frost covered the ground. Vege-
tables and flowers almost all perished.
Our flowers, so bright and cheerful Tie
evening before, dropped their blackened
plumes among the withered leaves, and
the desolation of winter had come on
them and us. Yesterday was wonder
fully bright, cloudless, and calm day,
somewhat cool, &, d nature seemed to be
in a penitent mood for the sudden and IT.
reparable mischief she had done; for a
freeze does not often occur here as early
as the Sth of October.

vANDERBII.T's ACRES.
The millionaire Adding to His Al
ready Large Domain.

An excellent tract of land known as
the Brookshire farm, lying on the Swan
nanoa river, near Asheville Junction, has
been sold by it's owner, J. M. Brook
shire, to Chas. McNamee, of New York,
representing George w. Vanderbilt, the
well known millionaire whose real estate
operations in the southern section of this
county have long since been the talk of
the country. The deed to this property
was recorded in the register of deeds
office i'll this city yesterday, and the con-
sideration expressed therein was ten
thousand, five hundred dollars. In adj
dition to this purchase two other deeds
were also recorded conveying to Mr.. Nc
Nance certain parcels Of land in the
same vicinity. The various prices paid
for these tracts of land could not be as
certained as the considerations expressed
were evidently, from the amounts named
mere matters of form.
1t is also known that Mr.. McNamec
has secured an option upon the billiard
farm, containing eighty-six acres, lying
about four miles south of Asheville The
price asked for this tract of land is twen-
ty-two Thousand dollars, and it is quite
probable that it will be purchased at
this figure long before the option expires.
The Hilliard farm is said to he one OF
the most valuable in the county, the
number of acres therein contained taken
into consideration.
If these purchases continue, and no
sign of abatement is visible, Mr.. VAN
derbilt will be the largest as well as the
wealthiest landowner in the State. His
domain already embraces several thous-
and acres for which he has paid out
nearly if not quite three-quarters of
million of dollars. Buncombe is the gar
den of the South, and wealthy capital
lists are fast becoming aware Of the fact.
They know good thing when they see
it, and their eyes are turned in this direc-
ton.

weariness and retained their positions
until the end. The Eleventh division
made a very fine display. 1t was com
posed of representatives from Minnesota,
Kansas, MARYLAND, Nebraska and West
Virginia. and the grand communicates
of Colorado and North Carolina. All
marched well and were applauded as
they passed the stand.
The Maryland.delegation was particu-
arly large and imposing. Its approach
was indicated by airs, My Maryland
and Dixie" The Twelfth division
which contained only Cyrene comman-
derry of Sioux Falls, Dak., Godfrey d..
St. Aldemar preceptory of Toronto and
and Grand Commandery of Wyoming
Territory, terminated the procession,
which consumed three hours in passing
the reviewing stand. 1t is estimated
that there were about $4,000 knights
in line; but the fact that they did not
march in serried column, but in pictures
que squads and crosses, tended to retard
their progress. As the last band passed,
as the last hats doffed to the President,
as the last salutations were courteously
acknowledged, the people on the side
walk pressed forward to have a glance
at Harrison. The President, however,
rather wearied from the ordeal of stand
ing for hours in the cold air almost all
the time, without covering to his head,
Immediately left the stand and accom-
panied by the ladies of the party, strollcd
across the lawn to the White House.
Numerous strangers sought admission
to the executive mansion, but they were
informed that they could not be received
until tomorrow. The last comnIandery
passed the Presidential receiving stand
at $50 O'Clock. The procession fulfilled
the remainder of it's long line of march,
and was finally disbandcd at about an
hour later.
The Grand Encampment began its SEES
sion Immediately upon arriving at the
Masonic Temple at the close OF the pa
rade. Myron NJ. Parker delivered an
address of welcome on the part of the
local commanderie and introduced Com
missioner Douglass, who welcomed the
Knights on behalf of the city. To both
addresses, the Grand Master responded,
and this closed the public exercises. The
Encampment then began its business i'll
secret session.

The brick office at the corner of Wood
fin and North Main streets, and attached
to, and nearly opposite, the Woodfn
mansion, was taken down yesterday,
greatly to the Improvement of the APP
pearance of the premises. But it is re-
gretful removal, for the building was as
sociated with one once eminently prom
inent in Ashevile and Western North
Carolina as LAWYER, politician, business
man and active citizen. 1t was the

now some years dead, but a man of de-
cided mark in his day.

Fun at the Fair.

Amusements at the State fair will be
plenty enough to keep the visitors laugh
ing all the time. No gambling or tricks
approaching to gambling will be ad-
mitted to the grounds If known before
hand; if found to be such, they will not
be permitted to continue their business
on the grounds. The managers mean to
make it the great place for recreation,
instruction and amusement OF the whole
State. Parents may take their families
to the fair this October, confident that
there will be no side show, which will
offend the proprieties of life, or suggest
to children such things as they ought not
to know.

Montana Divides the HOnors.

HELENA, Mont, October s.-The eec.
tion of Joseph X. Toole, democrat, for
Governor, is now conceded by majority
of from 300 to 600. Carter, republican,
for Congress, has 1000 majority. The
democrats claim the legislature by seven.
The republicans will not cOncede as much
but say that on the face of the returns it
is democratic, and claim fraud in Silver
Bow and Deer Lodge counties. The gen.
eral opinion is that there will be no con.
test, and that the democrats will have
the Governor and legislature. The repub.
licans elect congressman and large ma,
jority of the State ticket. The Independ,
ent, democrat, claims the State senate d
tie and the house by seven majority
Most of the counties in the State will
make an official canvass to-day, and it is
more than likely that the result will be
definitely known by this evening.

CHATTANOOGA, October 1.-THE first
election in this State under the Austral-
ian system of voting occurred here to-
day in the municipal election. 1t was
the quietest election ever known in the
city. Less money was used at the polls,
and there was less illegal voting than in
any previous election. A light vote was
polled. and the election resulted in the
election of Jno. A. Hart, Republican, for
mayor by 42S majority, and ten Repub-
licans out otsixteen cOuncilmen, and two

NEW OPERA HOUSE.
II Will Not he Completed Before
January Next,

January Next.
1t is quite apparent now that the new
opera house on Patton avenue will not
be ready for formal opening until about
the first of January of next year. There
yet remains an immense amount of out
side work on the building to be CON-
pleted, while virtually nothing has been
done towards fitting up the interior of
the structure as a theatre. Laborers are
steadily at work, however and when
the building is finished Ashevile will
possess one of the handsomest and
cosiest opera houses in the Southern
States. The scenery and interior decora-
tions, etc, will be executed by Eugene
Cramer of Columbia, S. c., in the highest
style of art, and will be ready in about
six weeks. 1t is very likely that some
company, headed by an actor ofwell
known reputation, will occupy the
boards at the opening of the new opera
house.
