BEE TREE WATER SUPPLY.
WHAT ENGINEER LEE SAYS
ABOUT 1T.

The & ~ Engineer Has Just Fin
ished the work OfTakinR Levels,
and Says water Can be Brought
From Bee Tree to Ashcviile by
Force of Gravity.
Water can be brought from the forks of
Bee free creek, twelve miles from Ashe-
vile, by the force of gravity.
This is what CITY Engineer Lee says,
and he has just concluded the taking of
levels from the city pumping station on
the Swannanoa to that point
Mr.. Lee saws that the creek bed at that
place is 1856 feet above the gap OF the
mountain at the standpipe, and about
420 feet higher than the public square in
Asheville.
The quantity of water in Bee Tree at
the forks is sufficient at the present time
to fill twenty inch pipe, and sixteen
inch pipe would carry two and half
million gallons of water per day Mr.
Lee says.
The people living in the vicinity of Bee
Tree say that the quantity of water in it
varies but little during the course of the
year from what it is at present.
Bee Tree rises within short distance
OF the top OF Craggy mountain, about
eight miles above the point to which
Engineer Lee took his levels, and is re-
clear and pure and would un-
qucstionahlygive most delightful water
supply to the city.
Engineer Lee could give no figures as
to the probable cost of running a pipe
line to the forks of Bee free. as he has
been too busy to make any estimates
nat II Will cost good round sum is
certain.
1t is probable the board of aldermen
Will at least make Il thorough investiga-
ton INTO the practicahiity of getting
Asheville's watcrsuppiv rom his source.
The fact that no people live along the
stream above the point where the supply
would be secured, aud that the water
come" from mountain springs rising
amid the prime,al forests of Craggy
make it certain that an alb
solutelv pure water supply can be gotten
there.

TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE.
IMMENSE DAMAGE DONE IN
SAN SALVADOR.
THE LITTLE REPUBLIC sHA :
EN FROM END TO END.
People Killed, Houses Thrown
Down, whole Towns Destroyed
and Millions Of Dollars Worth
Of EDrnnerty naVmaUPd.

and Millions of Dollars worth
of Property Damaged.
NEW YORK. Sept. 1o~A special from
San Salvador says;
Millions of dollars worth Of property
and many lives were destroyed in this
republic by an earthquake yesterday.
Whole towns were wiped out and as
far as adviccs have been received they
indicate that hardly a city in the country
except those along the coast escaped the
awful effects of the convulsion.
At five minutes before two O'Clock yes
terday morning he earth began toquake.
The wave had strong vertical N d Os-
cillating movement.
The people rushed into the streets in
theii night clothing. While the shock
lasted only twenty seconds, vet before it
passed away the panic stricken crowds
had taken their way to the open coun-
try outside the city.
The scene was terribly sublime. Men.
women aud chldren shri,kcd and prayed
in the streets. Walls OF houses cracked,
tottcr,d and tell Deep, continuous,
runblng sounds, as of heavy thunder,
followed, the skv was overcast and the
air was filled with tine penetrating dust.
While the shock lasted the earth rose
and fell in long waves Strong men
were unable to keep their feet,
The inhnbltInts are afraid to return
to their houses. Prcsld,nt Ezrta is doing
everything he can to stop the panic and
care for the homeless
Towns throughout the country have
suffered more severely than the capital.
Analqueto and Comasaqua are com
pletely DESTROYED. Cogutcpcque, Santa
Fecla. San Pedro and Masabenct are so
badly shaken as probably to be ruined,
while the shock was plainly felt and
some damage done at Santa Ana, and
SuSimtepcsque sixty miles away.
1t is to form any idea OF the lives lost.
Two persons were killed here. 1t is
feared many are killed in the smaller
towns.

SOMEBODY FORGOT.
A Number of Railway wOrkmeI,
Killed.

GLASGOW, Sept. l0.-A terrible accident,
due to somebody's carelessness, occurred
here today. number of railroad labor
ers were engaged in repairing a railroad
track along which number of trains are
constantly passing. AS usual in such
cases, the drivers OF all passenger engines
were warned to keep lookout for the
laborers at work at that point and to
whistle when nearing it. This warning
seems not to have been given, or the en-.
gincer of an express train forgot his in
struetions. In any case the express train
dashed into the midst of the working
trackmcn, killing FIVE men upon the spot
and seriously injuringa a number of others

election Yesterday resulted in almost a
complete ovtrturn, being the first victory
for the democrats on strictly drawn
party lines achieved in municipal affairs
in many years. Democrats elected their
mavor, a full board, six aldermen and
eight OF fifteen counciImen with one tail
ure to elect This majority of three, and
possibly five, on Joint ballot gives them
control of all the city officers whose eler-
ton is by the city council, Last year the
republicans had the mayor, five aldermen
and nine councilmen, on Joint majority
of seven. The question of a reform in the
quantity, quality and price OF city water
which is supplied by a private corpora
ton, was introduced into the campaign bv
the democrats and made the prominent
feature OF the canvass. The result may
be considered as an enforcement OF their
position thus taken.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Irregular Correspondence.)


WASHINGTON, D. c., April IA, 1891.
Senator Pfeffer is in demand at public
meetings here, and he doesn't forget to
impress the principles OF the farmers
alliance upon his hearers at every oppor-
tunity. He made speech at a largely
attended meeting of the Federation OF
Labor this week, that has attracted wide
attention. He took up the immigration
question: very live one just now-from
the passage of the notorious contract
labor law in 1864, of which he said !:
s'Many time have wondered how the
hand of honest old Abe Lincoln must
have shaken when he signed it," This
law he argued was the natural sequel OF
the granting of 34,000,000 acres OF public
lands TO railroads in 1862-63, and was
passed to enable their agents to bring
over under contract cheap European
.aborers to do their work. As a direct
result Of agitation, in 1882 the first anti
alien contract law was passed, another in
1885, and still another at the last session
Of congress. He then gave his hearers
some pointers about pushing the educa-
sional work in and out OF season, and
supporting men from their own ranks.
speaking of an interview in which
Senator Edmunds characterized the
farmers alliance movement as Il lever,
MIR. PETER said: "some people-fossils.
| was going to say-are inclined to be-
little these things. l notice that DIR.
George +. Edmunds said that it was
nothing but fever, and that the public
we're afflicted periodically in this way.
Bat the people will not listen to these
ancient physicians, and will not heed
antediluvian remedies" Concluding, he
said: II want to identify myself with
you. want you, the laboring men and
women of the country, to understand
that you have at least one friend in the
senate of the United States, one who will
not be ashamed or afraid 20 present

It il believed here that Canadian re.
eiprocity is completely done for As far as
the present administration is concerned
and that no notice will ever be sent tc

rison is ready to receive them and hear

eised for having 80 brusquely sent the
eminent Canadians back home, when
they came here to keep an engagement

been courtesy to have allowed them tc
say what they came to say" remarked q
republican senator last night, and he il
by no means alone in thinking so.
Senator Edmunds' resignation createC
more regret than surprise among his
party associates.
