pany. October the 10Th will witness
the largest gathering and the great
est number ofstrangers-men of high
rank intellectually, that ever met at
the same time in the city. There
are two occasions to bring such peo-
pie here that day. One is the meet

nessee, which will bring together no
less than 200 ministers, the ablest
divines in that denomination, be-
sides visitors from other States.
Then the Confederate Reunion will
take place on that day which will
cause an out pouring of the people of
this and adjoining counties. The
whole country has been aroused to
an enthusiastic spirit for this event.
The people have made liberal sub
scriptions of provisions to fe d a
multitude and will come with great
baskets of good things to eat, and
there will be distinguished speakers
and an entertaining program to
make the occasion most enjoyable.

pounced to his scongregation last Sabbath
that desirable lot had been presented
to the congregation for the purpose OF
building a new church. Steps will be
taken Immediately to erect a church upon
the site presented. The building will be
unique in that it will have accommoda-
tions for the different departments of
work carried on in connection with the
church. Utility will be the chief considera-
ton. wh& style and architecture will be
secondary.
The church work was commenced in
the neighborhood, where it was most
needed, nearly two years ago, that por-
ton of the city being taken under the
care of a devoted band of workers from
the First Presbyterian church. They
have maint aimed regularly Sabbath
school and a weekly prayer meeting
Now the work has settled pastor, the
Rev. Mr.. Baldwin, who has had consid
cradle experience in this particular kind
of church work. He came on from Vir
ginia to take charge of the field. HI

tive congregations. The Sabbath schoo

An Arrested Negro Breaks Away
From Two street Cav Men.
Motorman Brown and Conductor Will
liams, running on the Lookout noun
tain division of the Asheville street rail-
way, had an exciting experience last
night tbout 7:3O o'clock.
Some time Yesterday afternoon a col
ored man named Will Mcdowell, with
his wife, got on the Lookout mountain
car at Sency street, to go to the end OF
the line. The woman took her seat in
side the car. but Mcdowell passed on
through and stood on the front platform.
Motorman Brown informed the negro
that the rules prohibited any person from
riding ON the front platform. The negro
was impudent and pulled pistol and
put it in Mr. Browns iace, but was
finally persuaded to go inside.
On the return trip, the woman came
back to the city alone, and told the car
men that Mcdowell had said he was
going to wait until night and "do them
up"
Nothing more was heard of the matter
until last night about $50 when the
negro got on the car at Seney street,
coming up town. Brown and Williams
thought it good time TO arrest Nc
Dowell, and went into the car ant
placed him under arrest Mcdowell
began fighting, resisting terribly. The cal
men thought they had him safe enough tol
awhile, but just as the car reached Mer
rimon avenue. the negro, with power
full effort, wrenched himself loose from
his captors, jerked Conductor Williams
cap from his head, and jumped from th'
car, escaping in the darkness.
: The negro received several very sever
blows, but did not seem to care for them
He is still at large, but reward vii
probably be offered by the street car peo
pie for his capture.

TO WRECK A NEWSPAPER
GREAT EXCITEMENT IN DUB
LIN.
A Bomb Thrown Into the ONCE
of the "NatiOnal Press." the Or
gan of McCarthyites.

DUBLIN, Oct. 27.-Great excitement was
caused in this city last evening by an
apparent attempt to blow up the Office
of the National Press, organ of the
McCarthyites. The members Of the staff
of the paper we're just on the point of
beginning work when bomb fell in the
area in front of the windows on Abbey
street, where the EDITORS rooms are sit
uated. The bomb exploded with tre-
mendous report but fortunately there
was no one in this particular room at the
time and consequently no one was hurt.
If the missile had been intended to in,
jure any body in the editorialro there
is no doubt the effort would have been
prominently successful, for the window
glass was broken, the castings shattered
and the furniture in the room badly dam
aged. The Offices in the basement were
badly damaged, and the windows in all
the adjacent houses were broken.
