RAILROAD MASS MEETING.
a SPLENDID MEETING IN THE
COURT HOVSE TODAY.

Ringing Speeches From Gen. n
h. Vance, J. m. Campbell, state
Auditor sanderlin, Colonel I.OnR
ard Captain Atkinson.
There was splendid meeting in the
court house to-day to hear the railroad
question discussed, and it really looked
as ii the people had determined to carry
the proposition on Monday.
Capt. James Smith was made chair
man, and Capt. Matt Atkinson made a
rousing speech as leader. Capt. Atkin-
son is clearly in dead earnest in the mat
ter, and gave every reason why the peo-
pie should vote for the measure without
any fear Of the ttswnship's ha wing to pay
one cent of principal or interest. In
the first place the townships have
first mortgage on the road to
secure both principal and interest. Sec
ondly, they will have the pledge of $780,
600 solvent stockholders that the in
terest will be paid annually. Thirdly,
they will own two-thirds of the stock,
and the road can never be turned over to
any corporation without the consent of
the townships.
Gen. X. B. Vance was the next speaker,
and his talk was intended to arouse the
voters to sense of the importance of
their going to the polls and voting. He
spoke of the untold and incalculable ad-
vantages which accrue to any people by
reason of railroads, and especially COM
peting lines. Gen. Vance referred to the
Asheville and the Western North Carroll
M of his bovhood days, and the Asheville
and the Western North Carolina of to-
day, and declared that it was the rail
roads which, more than any other agen-
cy, brought it about. He declared that
any man who favored the progress of his
section was a patriot.
Gen. Vance's speech was loudly ap-
plaudcd throughout
!. M. Campbell made stirring talk,
which was well received
X. M. Furman called the attention Ot
the audience to the presence of State
Auditor G. w. SanIrrlin in The room, and
calls being made, Mr.. Sandcrlin delivered
short talk in which he declared that
ere many Years Western North Carolina
would be the hub of the industrial activi-
ties OF the country, and Ashcvillc would
be the centre of the hub
Col. 7. B. Long closed the speeches,
and the large crowd proceeded to enjoy
the hundreds OF fine watermclons pre-
pared for them by the committee.
1t was a good meeting and everything
passed off pleasantly, aud the railroad
appropriation was unquestionably given
great boost.

TO PASS THROUGH TaE pLE1ADEs.

That Ia What Astronomer VOLTS
Comet Will Do This Week.
Prof Barnard of Lick Observatory says
an interesting phenomenon will be wit
messed by astronomers during the Sd, 4th
and 5th of September. VOLTS comet,
whose return was first announced from the
Lick Observatory on May last, will pass
through the Pleiades on the above dates.
Il believe" SAYS Prof. Barnard, mo
comet has ever been seen to pass through
the cluster This phenomenon will be of
interest principally from the probable &C.
cultation of some of the considerable stars
From the dimensions and rapidity OF mo-
ton Of comets, occultation Of the fixed stars
by them are not unfrequent. The passage
OF comet ia front OF q star cannot, In the
true sense of the word. be called an occult
alton of the star, for it does not disappear
when the comet passes over it. Although
OSCILLATIONS or sransits frequently occur it
is quite seldom that any but small stars lie
exactly in the path Of a comet.
There is another problem connected
with the comets, however, upon which light
may be thrown by observations of stars
when shining through them. At present
we know absolutely nothing of the mass
and density of any of theie cometary
bodies. We only know that such must be
exceedingly small. It would ba possible to
arrive at some definite idea of the
density of the cometary matter If the
light of a star in passing through
it should be refracted, as it is
in passing through our atmosphere. This
can be determined by accurate measure
ments Of the relative position of q star be-
fore, during and after the transit Of O
comet in front of it. The amount or even
existence, of such refraction has not yet been
certsiuly determined.
1.-THE passage Of VOLTS comet through
the Pleiades will therefore be of more than
ordinary interest, as it will give al oppor-
tunty TO test the problem. The comet will
not pass over any of the brightest stars. 1t
will, however, pretty certainly transit the
two bright stars. Asterps and Pleione. The
passage over the first Of these will occur on
the morning Of Sept 4, at about $3.50
o'clock, Lick observatory time; the second
on Sept. >, at 2 o'cloc1 p. m. A o. magni-
tude star will probably be centrally oo.
Quilted on the 9th at noon. These last two
cannot be seen here. but will be obser vable
in Australia. 1t will alsD, perhaps, partly
transit the second star of Asterpe at about
o'clock a. M, Sept. 4. "
