Mr. StriegIer, of Texas, has at the

which he has brought from that place.

anybody who wishes to buy good, ser
viceable horse at low price.
Mr.. Clark, representing the Gamewell
Fire Alarm Telegraph Company, is at
the Battery Park hotel. Asheville is
adopting the most advanced ideas in ev-
erything, and will fill up the measure OF
her wisdom by adopting the system so
efficient wherever tried by which the To-
cality of a fire is instantly ascertained.
We remember a race by the hose and hook
and ladder companies over half the city
because the fire was smothered one and
made no outward demonstration. The
fire alarm" avoids all this.

Federal Court.

No one can help but be impressed with
the clearness and conciseness of the
charges made to the jury by Judge R. P.
Dick. They are short, pithy, pregnant
and thoroughly impartial. Seemingly
knotty points become entirely clear to
both the listeners and the jury under his
skilful treatment.
The most interesting trial was that of
the Rathbones, who were charged with
trying to rescue their brother "Chris"
Rathbone when under arrest. They were
convicted, but have not yet been SEN
fenced. All the other cases appertained to
illicit distilliug. The sentences imposed
were as follows: Doc Carver and Elmira
Houston, one month, 500 and costs
Eli Ballard, four months, 500 and costs
David Quinn, three months, 500 and
costs; and Will Jackson, eighteen months
in the penitentiary.
Mr.. Van lands, of Newport, X. T., will
be here on November 10, and will occupy
the Herrick mansion.

CINCINNATI, November "a special

his physicians believe he has a good
chance for recovery. People are still
greatly excited. Assistant postmaster
Swift was talking to Swope a few sec

says he did not hear any words passed
between the men although they were
only few feet away. He thinks there
was a tacit understanding between them
that the first time that they met alone
they should fight. A man very close to
Goodloe said to your correspondent this
morning that he knew the fight would
come about sooner or later; but that it
was not expected quite so soon. 1t would
be hard to say who has the public sym
pathy, as there seems to be heartfelt and
universal sorrow for both families
LEXINGTON, KY, November 9.-Col.
Goodloe at 4.+0 p. M. was undergoing
an operation. He was under the lntiu-
ence of auasthetics, and no reporters
were allowed in the operating room.
His physicians fear he will not recover.

FESTIVE SERENADERS.
How the Tenor and the Note
Failed to Connect.

Two belated wanderers were returning
from paying visit at the house of one
of Ashevilles prominent, substantialciti
zens the other evening. They were in a
very cheerful and hilarious state, al
though they had not quaffed a single
draught Of that which makes the town
assume deep vermilion hue. The moon
shone brightly and cast glamour over
the landscape. Their hearts were touched
and they became saturated with senti-
ment. 1t was a nice world to live in
Just then, wasn't it boys? However the
fates kindly took pity on them and pre-
sented an opportunity. Now they could
relieve themselves of this unspeakable
yearning and longing which threatened
to make life uncomfortable. Framed in a
window, in bold relief against the dark
stood young lady in pensive
gazing over the hills and far
away. Halt. The young men paused,
looked, saw, and i'll one second more the
soft melting strains OF "kndlng Wood"
were rising and falling in tender cadcnces
on the balmy night air. All was well
until the chorus was reached, when
mountain and valley were to ring with
the name OF that young lady's western
home. Inspired with ardor and cnthusi-

of accounts of dismal weather. Day after

The influx of visitors to this city to at
tend the federal court brings life to the
square in a regular bee swarm. He that
would study character should go to the
square and mingle with these crowds.
The bone and sinew of our mountain
farms is there displayed i'll young and
old. The Young men are quiet and conf
dent fellows. The good health sign is
painted on their cheeks. The middle aged
man, bearing the impress Of responsible
ties on their faces, find much to amuse
them i'll this visit to town. Most inter
esting of all are the old men. Grizzled
locks, deep turrows on their faces, and a
sober, serious look tell their own story
These are the men who have faced the
storm of life. Much bitterness has there
been in many of these lives. The cruel
war sobered and made cid some of these
good men. They faced cannon and bullet
bravely; they learned lessons on the field
to be learned nowhere else on earth
Though of earnest mien these men are
jolly at heart. What stories many can
tell of fights with bear and man. They
are here for all sorts of reasons. They
are always welcome, these interesting
visitors.

An Ashevile man can always tell when
it is 7 O'Clock in the morning even though
he does not possess a clock or hear the
whistles, At that hour thousands Of
hammers begin to pound nails into the
houses and buildings in course of cree
tion. In every quarter of the city the
echoes of the hammer strokes begin
promptly at seven O'Clock and continue
till the days labor ends. What sweeter
music is there than these hammer strokes
to the ears of our progressive citizens? !?
This music means increased values and
the perfecting of a city which may be the
pride of the country.

In MemOriam,

The death Of Mrs. Thomas E. waggaman re-
moves from the world one of the kindest,
gentlest and truest natures that ever lived.
She was quite unspoiled by indulgence and in
the midst of all that could make life happy and
desirable she did not forg ct others less fortu-
nateiy placed than herself. Especially TO poor
mothers and children was she generous giving
not only OF her means, but of her time, and
with n sweet goodwill that was careful not to
wound the self respect OF those to whom she
gave. Her children were early taught by her
the beauty OF charity and she likewise set
them an admirable example Of unselfishness
and unaffected, and sincerity regulated her
whole life. Tothose who knew her .'farewell''
to this sweet soul might well be;
Say not goodbye.
Bid me good morning."

SIOUX CHIEFS COMING.
They Have Surrendered Nine Million
Acres of Land.

| In compliance with the request of the com
mission which negotiated the purchase of the
Sioux reservation in the Dakotas q delegation
of about thirty-hve chiefs and head men of the
Sioux tribe has been given permission by the
Interior department to visit this city. They
are expected to reach here about the middle
of the present month. The object of the visit
of the Indians at this time is understood to be
to talk over their future with the President
and the Secretary of the Interior. Under the
terms OF the agreement to which they have
given their assent some 5000, 900 acres of land
will be restored to the public domain. When
this land is surveyed and sold under the home
stead laws of the United States the proceeds
will be paid over to the Indians.
WHAT THE INDIANS WILL RECEIVE.
They will receive SIPS per acre for all land
sold within the first three years. rs cents per
acre for all lands disposed of within the next
two years and the same for the residue There
are tive tracts of land set apart as reservations
Tor the five distinct portions of the tribe, which
they will occupy, and it is ultimately expected
that the indians will accept land in severalty.
PROVISION Is made for schools for the Indians.
AS Is known, Congress passed two laws au-
thorizing negotiations with the Indians. One
law set forth the terms of the agreement, as
| sent to which would enable the President to
issue proclamation throwing open the land to
settlement The other law provided that the
President was to appoint the commission and
the agreement reached was to be submitted to
Congress for ratification before it could be
carried into effect The commission was APP
pointed under the last law and it has been held
all along by the officials that the agreement
must therefore be ratified by Congress.
THE PRESIDENTS CONSTRUCTION OF THE LAW
But the commission having been instructed
to first confine themselves exclusively to obtain
ing the assent of the Indians to the terms of
the agreement as provided for in the other act
OF Congress, and they having succeeded in ac-
complishing this. the President holds, as stated
in his message, that in view of the fact that the
assent of the requisite number of the Sioux
Indians was obtained to the proposition made
by Congress, ''as at present advised" he does
not deem 1T necessary to submit the agree
ment to Congress for ratification. but it will in
due course be submitted for information"
The President will, therefore, under this
construction of the law proceed to issue a
proclamation, as in the case of Oklahoma lands,
declaring the lands in the old Sioux reservation
open to settlement after certain date.
