OHIO SENATORIAL. CONTEST.
1t Looks az II Mr.. Brice Might be
the Man.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, January 3.-There is
no material change in the senatorial sit
uation to-day but great amount of
work is being done, and the crowds are
increasing in size.
The feature of the forenoon is the re-
ported withdrawal of all the candidates
for speaker. with the exception OF Hysell.
This has given increased life to the Brice
boom for the senate.
Hysell is recognized as the speakership
candidate of the Brice element in the sen.
atoIial contest, although Brice and his
managers claim they have nothing to do
with it, and have been steering clear of
the speakership fight.
John A. McMahon, who is considered
the third most prominent candidate, ar
rived at noon accompanied by quite
large following.
A most important rumor. which is as
yet confined to select circles. is that the
democratic members Of the legislature
since coming to the city have held
conference and concluded to seat Mar.
quis for lieutenant governor over Lamp
son with whirl and without delay, and
then bring out Governor Campbell as
the chief opponent to Brice for the SEN
ate. This report lacks confirmation.

BRIDGE BLOWN DOWN.
One Man Killed and Several

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, January 3.-The
fifth span Of a new ron bridge which is
being built between Holyoke and Sortb
Hadley was blown down at 10 O'Clock
this morning, and one oi the workinen,

n. V, was killed. Two other men who
were at work on the bridge were injured.
Driscoll was on top of the truss on the
north side when it went over and was
carried down, with the iron work, into
the river, 60 or 70 feet below. He was
struck by a piece Of truss on the way
down and was probably killed before
striking the water. A workman named
McClosky was rescued from the river af.
ter the accident, being found hanging to
one of the stringers OF the bridge. About
30 men were at work on the span. but as
soon as the truss began to settle they
were given warning, and all but the three
men named above escaped to other spans.
Some pedestrians and carriages had very
narrow escapes.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The Old Year has drawn to a close,
and with the beginning of the New Year
we wish to thank the public for their
patronage and recognition of our efforts
to do our full duty. We are fully con.
scious that 1t is to them that we owe the
unexpected success Of the past year, in
which our business has been more than
doubled, and we can only regard it as n
new evidence that our business maxins
are such as to cause our customers to
have confidence in US and attract those
who are cautious in dealing with any
Pharmacist until they have become fully
assured of the nature and extent of his
business principles. In our dealing with
the public We realize that the most scru-
Puious care and honesty are paramount
in Importance. Htbese arc virtues in
all ordinary business transactions, they
become sacred duties in Pharmacy. and
without them no one can be a true Phar-
n,acist. The health, maybe the lie, of
those dealing with the Apothecary de-
pends upon them We consider il our
most sacred duty to shun adulterations
and spoiled as well as Inferior drugs.
They constitute an evil from which Phar.
macy suffers no less than the public. The
evil is not new one, inaugurated in late
years; it has existed as long as there
were men whose cupidiy was stronger
than their sense of Justice, and it will
doubtless continue as long as there may
be men with conceptions of business so
vague that they expect to purchase gold
for the money value of dross. There are
no other moral principles required for
transacting n Pharmaceutical business
than are necessary for any other business.

STREETS AND PAvEMENTs.
Dr. Won Ruck's suggestions Ably
seconded.

Editor Citizen What DR.. Won Rucl
says about the dust, of Ashevillc is so I'M
portant and 30 true. that the wonder is
1t should be necessary to say it at all
that is, the wonder is that the evil was
not long ago corrected.
Let us see why this is so important a
matter. Asheville is before the people OF
perhaps half the United States as health
resort. The fact that the climate here is
perhaps the best east of the Rocky
mountains for persons suffering from
nasal, throat or lung complaints is a tre-
mendous reserve capital that can be con-
verted into cash. How? Obviously bv
making Asheville attractive in every pos
sible way: clean streets, clean public
buildings, clean sidewalks, large parks,
good hotels and good boarding houses.
Now we cannot have cleanliness and
dust; the two will not mix. So far in
Asheville the dust is on top-when the
mud, not SO Objectionable a feature, by
the way-isn't. Dust to the person sui.
fering from throat or lung trouble means
agony to him; means that he will not
get well so soon; that he NAV not regain
his health at all; that he might as well.
It not better, go home whence hecamc
! know of persons coming here i'll the
evening, meeting clouds of dust the next
day and starting for home that evening
They would certainly have spent great
deal of time and money here; as il was
they spent very little of either. Worse
than that, they went home to tell all
questioners that Ashcville is too dirty to
live in. 1t will not do to say such persons
are too particular; they are not. The
trouble IS, Ashcville is not particular
enough; if she cannot clean herself up she
had best take in her sign, shut up shop
and warn invalitls away. II it is dust
they want they can get that at home.
firmly believe that Asheville does not
yet know herself; that but few of her cit
izcns realize what could be done to make
this climate enormously profitable to
every one of us, directly and indirectly.
The climate is here and no one finds any
fault with 1t; now don't coutaminate 1t
keep It pure; keep it free OF dust.
Suppose Asheville was paved with as
phalt or any other clean, smooth, and
durable pavement. Suppose the side
walks were uniformly good, wide, and
were kept clean as they are not now;
what would he the effect ON the visitor
He would he charmed. He would stay
here life time il possible and bid all his
friends do The same. Even if only the
streets surrounding the court house were
to-day paved with some pavement that
is naturally clean and readily kept so; il
the abuting sidewalks were wide and
clean; il the public buildings and Offices
and stores were clean, the investment, |
am persuaded, would pay the city better
