MIR. DEAYER ANSWERED.
superintendent ClaxtOn Presents
His View of the Case.

At the regular monthly meeting of the
school committee Supt. p. P. Claxton
made the following report in regard to
W. H. beavers recent communication to
THE CITIZEN:
Mr.. beavers statement that his son
had been refused admittance to the
schools was incorrect. The facts are
these; During the necessary absence of
the superintendent, the second week of
the session, Clyde Dcaver applied to Mr..
Mangum. principal of the Orange street
school, for admission to the school. Be-
cause he had been suspended last year for
continued irrcgularty ofattcndance, Mr..
Mangum asked Inn to wait and see he
superintendent on his return. This Clvde
did on the following Monday morning,
and gave him ticket of admission to
the grade in which he was last year,
and gave him a book-list tor the same.
| also wrote note to Mr.. Deavcr
stating that thought it would be un-
wise to advance Clyde to a higher grade.
as he had been present oHly forty-six
DAYS OF the last session and was, for that
reason, not prepared for the higher
grade. sent this note to Mr.. Deaver
by his son, who said he would deliver it
at once. Clyde has not returned to
school since. For what reason do not
know Had Mr. Deaver been dissatisfied
with the grading of his son, he should
have seen or written to the superintend-
ent about the matter and any further
explanation necessary would have been
made cheerfully. This he did not do.
During my absence, about a dozen
pupils were refused admittance to the
lower grades because of their crowded
condition. On my return began to ar
range for these pupils and since that time
no child has beer refused admittance.
No pupil has at any time been kept out
of the schools because of the presence of
pupils"

Last Thursday night the depot agent
at Sandy Bottom, on the Western Mort
Carolina road, below Marshall, was as
saulted by two white men, Norman Ed
wards and John Boone.
The men were arrested by deputy
sheriff, and as the depot was thought
to be the safest place the men were con
fined there. During the night the depot
was fired, and despite all efforts, was
entirely destroyed, together with a large
amount OF freight.
In the excitement during the FIRE Ed
wards and Boone escaped II is believed
hat the men fired the depot in order
that they might get away, as spot was
seen where oil had been poured over the
floor.
On Friday telegram was sent to
Chief Of Police Mcdowell here, giving a
description of the two men and asking
that they be held. Shortly after ~
O'Clock yesterday Officers Goodake
and Coll ms SAW TWO men near the
Swannanoa hotel who seemed to
fill the description sent. They arrest
ed the m,n, who admitted that
their names were Edwards and Boone.
They were locked up.
Sheriff Chandley, of Madison, came up
yesterday to look after the matter and
took the men down to Marshall this
afternoon. Officers Goodlakc and Col
Inns will get the reward offered by the
sheriff, $25 for each man, and the rail-
road company also reward them.
Boone and Edwards are said to be
desperate characters.

DEAR ClTlzEN:-Our party sailed from
New York, Sept. S, and we had safe
and pleasant voyage, Landed ut Havre
and went to Paris for stay of several
days, and took in the city, giving espec-
ial attention to the Louvre, the tomb OF
Napoleon, and the Eiffcl tower. From
Paris we went to Marseilles, thence
across the Mediterranean to Athens,
Greece, of which Aristophanes exclaims:
"Oh, thou, our Athens, violet-wreathed,
brilliant, most enviable city,"
1t is wonderful how the ancient and
modern mingle here. Here are the
works of Periclcs and Phidias, and
those of Morse and Edison. Here are
the varieties of dress from the ancient
Greek costume to the last developed
dude" of Paris and New York.
Yesterday ! stood on Mars Hill where
Paul preached, and on the brink where
Dcmosthcnes delivered his Phillippics,
and on the top OF the Acropols amidst
the ruined splendor of the Parthenon.
Also visited the temple of Jupiter Olym
pus, and the theaterof Di ,nysius. Both
of these structures are magnificent in
ruin.
In the distance saw the beautiful bay
OF Salamis, AZ Byron says: "Uncon-
quered Salamis."
Today attended the funeral services
ofthe daughter of the present king of
Greece. The services were held in the
Greek church, and were imposing and iui-
pressive.
Near this church stands the Parthenon
and Mars Hill, and as looked at
Christian church and a Christian funeral

Athens" We are gone but the everlast-
ing Gospel of Christ is here to stay. The
eloquence of Demosthenes is of the past

LEwEs, Del, October 12.-The United
States steamer Dispatch while on her
way from New York to Washington ran
ashore on Assateague shoals on the Vir-
ginia coast Saturday morning and was
totally wrecked.
The weather was thick and nasty, and
while the particulars of the disaster are
not known, it is supposed that the COM
manding officer of the Dispatch hugged
the shore too closely in his effor,s to
avoid the full fury of the weather and
her dangerous position was not discov-
cred until it was too late to avoid being
driven on the shoals by the heavy north
east gale which prevailed.
There is hardly more dangerous and
treacherous place along the coast than
Assateague, and when the news first
reached here little hope was felt in ship.

The tug North America was sent to
her assistance, however.
Later news reached here that the Dis
patch was firmly fixed in the sand,
broadside on to the beach A high sea
was running, and was rapidly pounding
her to pieces.
The Assateaguc life-saving crew had
succeeded in getting her officers aud crew
ashore in safety, and they were being
properly cared for There is little or no
hope of hauling the vessel off, even if the
gale ceases and the sea goes down.

HOW ABOUT THIsr
Another Attempt to Wreck the
Train at BOstian's Bridge.

SrATEsvILLE, N c., Oct. 1O.-Another
alleged attempt was made this morning
to wreck the passenger train at Bostian
bridge, the same place that the fearful
wreck occurred some thirty days ago
The engineer happened to see pile Of
rails across the track, luckily stopping
the train, when the obstruction was re-
moved. 1t is further said that the man
who tried to wreck this train was ar.
rested and placed in jail.
Another Account.
The man arrested here was not much
in earnest. 1t is supposed to be some
trick of railroad detectives. The train
was stopped by rails on the track, but
an investigation will show something
which may be called funny work" II
is suggested that such attempts do not
often happen in daylight.-Special dis
