IN THE BACON BUSINESS
A SCHEME THAT WAS SOON
FOUND OUT.

The station Agent at Flat Rock
Turns Inforlmer and Gets a Com
ductOr aud ElagInan into TrOu-
ble-Round over to Court.
For a couple of mouths past the West
eru North Carolina railroad company
has been systematically robbed OF
freights, such as -four and bacon.
Four men were arrested last week and
tried for the robberies. Two were sent
to jail and two gave bond for their ap-
pearance at the next term of the criminal
court.
Chief w, H. Deaver, of the Pinion de-
tective agency, has been at work on the
case since that time. On Saturday night
Deaver, accompanied bv Patrolmen No
land and Triplett, went down to the
passenger depot and arrested John L..
Deprato and ]. D. Moncrief. on charge
of completely in the robberies. Deprato
was a freight conductor on the Western
road, while Moncrief was fagman on
Deprato's train. The men were arrested
lust after having come in from run
from Hot Springs. Neither of the men
made any resistance.
! The information which led to the ar
rest of the men was given by B. r. Haw'
kins, the company's agent at Flat Rock
on the Asheville and Spartanburg road
in Henderson county.
Deprato and Moncrief were brough
up town and placed in jail, where the'
remained until this morning at II
o'clock, when they were taken betor
Justice A. T. Summey for a preliminar.
hearing.
On the examination, Hawkins, the in
former, testified that some time ago De
prato, who was then running throug
freight on that road, put Oft several hur
dred pounds of bacon, and asked him
dispose of it. This Hawkins did, an
on Deprato's return he asked Deprat
where he got the bacon. Deprat
told him the best thing he could d
would be to sell the meat and say notl
ing about it. After that he said, Deprat
left several consignments of bacon wit
him, which he sold, turning over po
ton of the money to Deprato and Mo-
Grief. Their share of the spoils was b
ou tween $50 and $100. Hawkins ke1

RURGLARh A-BURGLING.
HUT They Bungled the Business
and Got Nothing.

and Got Nothing.
Patrolman w. B. Wild, of the city po-
lice, who returned yesterday afternoon
from short trip to Marshall, tells THE
CITIZEN of an attempted burglary in that
town on Saturday night.
Some person or persons forced an en-
trance to the depot of the Western North
Carolina railroad, and dynamited the
safe in the ticket agents office: Who.
ever did it was evidently a novice and
made bungling job. Instead OF drill
ing. the dynamite was merely laid under
the safe and fuse used to explode it.
There was very little damage done, the
handle OF the safe being blown oh and
some of the timbers OF the building shat
tered. ,
There is no clue yet, Mr.. Wild says. ex
cepting the fact that a young man in th'
uelehborhood is very badly hurt. as hi
the young mani says, from dynamite
explosion, which, he says, occurred
Saturday afternoon.

Though the winter has beeen mild thus

tinue so, and many of our readers are

Of situation and evenness Of climate, and
in Asheville the most delightful place OF
resident for the traveller is certainly
the Oakland Heights Sanatorium
Everything is done in this house which

tulness of the visitor. No consumptives

like free from the excitements of hotel
and thereferejust the placef for those VIII

Condition Of Mrs. Harrison.

LOON LAKE HOUSE, N. Y, Sept. IA
Drs. Gardner, of Washington; Doughty,
of New York, and Tiudeas, of Sa,anac,
had consultation at the presidents cot
tage this morning in regard to Mrs. Har-
rison, and ct its close issued tine follow
ing statement:
"The primary disease is pulmonary
tuberculosis of the right side, associated
with nervous protration. The recent
complication Is sub acute pleurisy, with
a rapid effuslon OF water IN right chest,
necessitating two tapplngs with some re-
lief. The present condition is critical on
account of tendency to the reproduction
of fluid. Removal TO Washington is i'm
possible. Representation as to the I'M
mediate future is uncertain"
Lieutenant Parker said this morning !:
"The president will remain with Mrs.
Harrison until she gets better. He has
no other plans whatever"
1t is therefore apparent that the presi--
dents stay here is indefinite. The ply
sIcians, it is SAID, have quietly intimated
to the president the strong probability of
fatal result. Fhe. president rarely
leaves Mrs Harrison's bedside. In fact,
he really shares the nursing of the invalid
with the professional attendant. Russell
Harrison and Mrs. Mckee, the presidents IS
son and daughter, are also In constant
attendance. It is understood that another
operation will be performed this after
noon.

The alarming news comes over the
wires that five deaths have occurred
in New York city from Asiatic chol-
era, and there can be no further doubt
that this dreadful scourge has foot
hold in this country. If the theory
of the Leading physicians is correct
that the disease is propagated by nm
cleanliness, eating food not properly
cooked and drinking impure water, its
ravages may be confined to its present
limits. As a matter of prevention,
strict sanitary measures should be en-
forced in every city, and the different
boards of health should be rigid in the
examination of all families where
proper regulations regarding these
matters are not fully complied with.
Unbounded license may be very de-
plorable in many instances, and in
none more so than when by filthy per-
sonal habits in relation to clothing,
eating and drinking, the gates are
thrown open for the admission of this
terrible Asiatic destroyer.

The cheering intelligence is re-
ceived that the Specifications for the
work to be let by contract for the
completion of the Cascade locks and
canal, prepared by Major Handbury
have been approved at Washington,
and are now being printed. They are
expected to be received in Portland in
a few days, and advertisement for bids
will be published forthwith. This is
encouraging so far, and if matters are
pushed forward rapidly there is yet a
reasonable hope that the great i'm
Improvement to Columbia river navi-
CATION may be completed in the pext
three or four years; but our people
have been disappointed in this regard
so frequently during the last sixteen
years that they will be suspicious of
all future promises Delusive theories
have too often dispelled their hopes
for them to place any confidence in
anything less than demonstrated
fact. The TINES MoUNTA1NEER has not
been inclined to adverse criticism of
any person connected with the man
agement, and believes the delay has been
more the result of the system followed
than of any individual connected there
with. In this it hopes the future will
demonstrate that it has not been too
credulous in the integrity of the engi-
neering department. That there are
enemies to the construction of the

locks there can be no doubt; but it is
more magnanimous to believe that
these are composed of corporations
whose interests are antagonized by an
open river than of high officials of the
war department, to whom it has no
pecuniary significance whether the Co.
iumbia is freed from oostructions in
one or twenty years. In this matter
we are sstisihd to wait and see
whether the contract system will not
prove our position correct, and, in the
meantime, shall urge the prosecution
of the work with all possible alacrity,
at the same time noting all delays and
their apparent causes.

No MGre Rev Cases.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Thls morning
opens bright and frosty and New York
is thus enjoying jus, the lad of weather
to prevent the spread of cholera. The
few cases which have appeared here, and
which were concealed by the board of
health, have in TO way alarmed the au
thorities or citizens. People here have
become educated up to the point of hav-
ing little or NO fear of the formerly
dreaded disease. The immigrant passen-
gers of the steamer Friesland, which ar
rived here August 80, seem 10 have
brought the disease to little Minnie Lev
niger, who died September IL. They are
traced back TO Antwerp, which they
reached from other cities Of Europe,
doubtless infected with cholera. When
they reached quarantine there was no
illness reported aboard, and after few
hours detention and SO called fumigation
they we're allowed to proceed. From the
pier the passengers scattered
over the city and country. Four young
women went TO the house where little
Minnie lived. The infection was prob
ably iE their clothing as they escaped
attacks themselves.
