THEY WANT FUNDS.
The N. &. 3. r. G. A. Makes an Ap.
neal.

The North Carolina society for the pre-
yention of cruelty to animals has issued
an appeal to the people of the state, and
more especially to the people of Asheville,
for their interest and financial assistance.
Mr.. Walter S. Cushman, acting secreta-
ry, in the appeal, says the society was
originally projected by thelate H. H. Ly-
ons. After organization it received do
nation OF $500 from Mrs. w. F. Weld, OF
Brookline, Mass, at that time stopping
at the Battery Park. The total receipts
thus far have been $576.25. Only thirty
three residents of Asheville are members
of the society, and this small number rep
resents about the total membership oi
the state. Of the three Asheville mem
bers only two are women.
There is only about 5000 in the treas
ury now. There is also need OF more
thorough organization. The work of ex.
tension throughout the state should be
begun without delay and prosecuted Wig
orously. The kind-hearted and ear
nest women Of Asheville are urged
to, become active members. Unless tht
active interest Of the Asheville public is
manifested at once there is danger that
the generous interest and liberality O
Mrs. Wild will have been in vain.
The fee for active membership is $50
for an associate life membership $25, anc
for an annual membership only 81. The
first annual meeting of the society vii
occur on uesday, Jan, 20, at place tc
be published later All willing to become
members are requested to apply at thu
office of the society or send thei. applica
tions by mail to the acting secretary
Mr.. Walter S. Cushman, at once, in orde
that they may be duly elected by th'
board Of managers before the annua
meeting.
The office of the society is at No. 81
Patton avenue.

Rev. Z. w. Smith, ofGreensboro, began
bis preaching in Ashevlle yesterday. In
the morning his theme was the danger
of trusting to what seems to be right,
and his sermon made deep impression.
He is ready speaker and his power lies
in the impression Of earnestness and con-
viction which he conveys.
This morning at IL O'Clock he spoke
upon Growth in Grace" to congrega-
tion made up largely of protesting Chris,

be introduced this afternoon at 4 O'Clock

l.. C. SORRELLS SUICIDES.
THE ACT COMMITTED IN r.
O,DONNELL'S SALOON.
He Had Before Attempted to Take
His I.ife--The COrOner's Inquest
and the verdict.

His I.ife-The COrOner's Inquest
and the verdict.
Two attempts at suicide and the sec
ond one successful.
Several months ago, Lee Sorrells, a bar
tender in the city, attempted suicide, but
the action was discovered in time to save
the young mans life.
Soon after recovering, Sorrells left
Asheville for South Carolina, where he
remained until week or two ago, when
he came back to Ashevile. He has been
under the influence Of liquor a great deal
of the time since coming back here.
This morning, about II o'clock
Sorrells was sitting in Frank O'Don-
nells bar. on North Main street,
with friend. While the friend
was talking to some one else i'll the
room Sorrells walked to the bar and
asked Barney Mclntire, one of the bar,
tenders, for a glass, as he wished to take
some medicine. The glass with some wa
ter was given him and taking a bottle
from his pocket Sorrells poured the con-
tents into the glass, and drank the mix
ture. Then walking to the head OF the
basement stairway he threw the bottle
into the basement. The friend saw him
throw away the bottle and ran and
picked it up 1t was labeled "laudanum'
and had Worthen & Co.'S. name on it.
Sorrells had by this time walked to a
room in the rear of the saloon, and his
friend at once had DR.. A. Burroughs
called.
When the physician arrived he saw that
nothing could be done to save the lie oi
the young man. Within twenty or thir
ty minutes after taking the laudanum he
was dead
DR.. L. B. McBraver, the coroner, was
notified and summoned as jury A. Z
Davis, F. N. Darlington, John P. Nor
gan, ]. N. Morgan, ]. d. Brevard and A
K. Ogburn. The jury met at O'CLOCK
and after examining two witnesses tounc
that the deceased had come to his deatf
by an overdose of opium administered
by his own hand.
Lee {. Sorrels was about "a years o
age and had been resident OF Ashevill'
for eight or nine years, coming here iron
Greenville, S. c.
The remains will be inferred at River
side cemetery tomorrow.
No particular cause for the suicide
is known, other than despondenc.
brought on by excessive drinking.

A FIRE ARROW IN CAMP.
ANOTHER INDIAN BATTLE
ALMOST CERTAIN.
An Alarming state of Affairs at
pine Ridge as the Omaha Bees
Correspondent sees it-Further
RllOdsheti to be Avoided if Pos
sible.

RllOdlslled to be Avoided IL Pos
sibIe.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, VIA. RusHvILLE,
Neb. Jan. 5.-A correspondent of the
Omaha Bee, telegraphs from here as fol-
lows:
The Indications are that the greatest
battle in the history of the Indians is al
most at hand. The report of every scout
adds strong support to these indications
which were only emphasized bv the
bloody affair on Wounded Knee. Gen.
Miles believes exactly this, and has said
so in strong words. The small handful
of Indian employees here affirm it. Before
the terrific clasb, comes they want to res
cue their relatives from the enemies
camp and are now interceding with the
authorities for permission at the risk OF
of their lives to make the attempt.
Extensive rifle pits are reported as be-
ing dug twelve miles from here by the
hostiles. Last night the hostles burned
many houses belonging to settlers along
White river, and finished killing tie last
remnant of the great herd of government
cattle that they raided so heavily about
Il month ago.
The danger in which Pine Ridge agency
stands at this hour and must remain un-
til this crisis is all over. is one of the
most fearful peril.
Since Gen. Miles arrived he has received
Il most urgent admonition from the ad-
ministration to avoid further bloodshed
| Further bloodshcd, however, cannot be
avoided, and before the light of another
Sabbath morning the truth of this asser-
tion will have been proven. There is a
rumor current in official circles here that
the general will call for volunteers to
protect the adjacent territory.
The shooting OF an Indian war arrow
covered with pitch partially burned last
night created considerable comment. The
Indians have superstition that if tht
first fire arrow fired into the enemy's
camp is extinguishsdin in it's flight it is evi
dence that the contemplated raid will b.
failure. The arrow that came in las
night was shot from the north, and bare
" missed the head of teamster who
was unhitchng team few yards soutl
of the hotel where the correspondents
are quartered, near the centre OF TIN
agency.

About o'clock Sunday morning fire
broke out in W. G. Perry's show window
on South Main street. The window was
filled with fireworks and toys, and when
the fire reached them there was trouble.
Roman candles shot their colored balls
across the building sky rockets whizzed
about in reckless carelessness. The
fire was soon extinguished without call
ing out the fire department, but not until
the glass in the window had been broken
by the expending fireworks. The dam.
age will not be over $3.50.
