HOW TEL.Y WE'RE LEFT.
President Gwyn Desires to Set
Things Right

EDITOR TIE CITIzEN-Since the good
people who got left on the mountain on
Saturday afternoon haye seen proper to
inquire through your columns as to why
they got left, instead of coming and
making complaint directly to the prcsi-
dent OF the dummy line, trust that you
will do me the justice to publish state.
ment from me in regard to the matter.
The schedule rs published for last week,
was that the last car would leaye the
mountain terminus at 1925, and the con-
ductor announced this fact on each trip
late in the afternoon, so that no person
should be misled. was at the city ter
minus Saturday evening when the last
car left there, and it was about eight
minutes late, so that it must necessarily
have left the mountain terminus several
minutes late, instead of ahead OF time.
The conductors record shows that it
left city terminus at 7:15, instead of
7:0S, which is the schedule time; he
keeps no record OF the time of leaving the
mountain terminus. His record shows
that four people went upon the last trip,
and seventeen came down.
have seen the gentleman who was
with the belated party, and he says that
when the whistle blew for the mountain
terminus, the party was at the spring,
which is 200 yards away from the pavll'
ION, but that when the whistle blew, he
sent little boy torun forward and hold
the train; and that this little boy says
| that when he came in sight of the car,
the train was in motion, but that he
shouted to it, and thinks he was seen by
the train men, who, however, refused to
stop for him. Now if was sure that
this boy was correct, no person could re-
main in my employ who would wan
tonly leave people on the mountain at
that time of day, on the last trip. But
must think the little fellow was mis-
taken as to the train men seeing him.
They certainly had good reason to
| believe that no one else was waiting to
20 down, for they were several minutes
late arriving at the mountain terminus,
and it is fact that, as soon as the train
starts, the attention of the crew is direc-
ted at once to the front, as it should
always be. The noise of the engine and
car would certainly drown the sound OF
a boys voice at anv distance from the
car. SO far rs can sec, no more blame
can attach to my crew than to that Of
any other railway that runs on its sched
ule, and the fact that this party arrived
at the station behind time should not
operate to the blame of the railway com
pany or its employees. ". B. Gwrn,

makes the following statement: 1--WE
have made better progress today in our
investigation than at any previous time.
The prisoners are Just beginning to open
their mouths and some startling devel-
opments will be made in a short while.
They all belong to secret, oath-bound
order and the penalty obligation is death,
consequently they have been as close as
clans heretofore. We have been at work
on them, however, and are just now
beginning to convince them that they
will be protected against violence for
making a statement We have obtained
several confessions today, which at this
step of proceedings it would be unwise
to give out, but when they are made
known they will create much surprise" 1"
| The General also Stated that, at the
rate of progress that had been made yes
terday he would be able in five or six
days to seperatc the chai1 from the
wheat and that the work of the military
would be completed
| Geo. L. liish a notorious miner leader,
was brought from Knoxville to Coal
Creek at 11:3O last night. At 1880 p.
m, a detachment of soldiers forciby en-
tered the telegraph office and examined
the telegraph files to get the address
and names of miners.
Attorney General Pickett who arrived
at Coal Creek yesterday afternoon to CO.
operate with Gen. Carnes in suppressing
the trouble here, expresses the opinion
that the lease system can be abrogated
at the discretion of the Governor and
Board of Prison Inspectors, as the con-
ditons of the lease had been violated
years ago by the lessecs' failure to pay "A
yearly fec of 100000 for which suit has
been brought, The General also ex-
pressed the opinion that martial law
could be proclaimed i'll Tennessee,
either by the Governor or by a
special session of the legislature,
The onl v way to handle the matter was
the method being pursued now by the
state guard with the cooperation of the
civil authorities. Heroic measures. the
general thought, should he instituted. II
la dozen or two of the prime movers in
the lawlessness were sent to the penitcn-
tiary it would have good effect on the
other agitators and they would not dare
to return to this vicinity Tor fear of Il
like penalty.

A SLICK GAM T..
hut. as Usual, 1t Played Out After
Awhile.

Awhile.
Afew weeks ago dashing young fellow
with insinuating manners. made his APP
pearance among the younger element of
Ashevillians and soon worked himself
into their confidence. He made good use
of his time, borrowed money freely, and
they, unsuspecting as they were, placed
full confidence in the young confidence
man.
Meantime the latter, whose wardrobe
seemed very deficient, managed to ap-
propriate to himself light, fashionable
suit OF clothes from a Pullman conduc.
tor and pair of shoes from another of
Pullmans conductors-all without their
knowledge or rconsent-and various sums
of money.
Being by this time found out, the young
man took the train and landed that
evening at the Mountain Park hotel, Hot
Springs, where he registered as "W. c.
Mckinney, Lynchburg, Va" Not hav-
ing any baggage, on the second day the
hotel bill was presented to him, when he
made clean breast and confessed that
he had no funds. To add to his conster-
nation the Pullman conductor, from
whom he had taken the suit of clothes he
wore, appeared on the scene and had
young Mckinney, (it that is his proper
name) arrested on a charge of larceny
of clothes, etc.
To make long story short, the COM
mitting magistrate was paid his fee, the
Pullman conductor got his clothes, and
the erring young man, if not an old
offender, was put on the train on Friday
night last for Paint Rock, whence he
departed the following morning, buying
a ticket to Morristown. Whether he
went from there to Tate, or proceeded
North or South is not known. At any
rate, quite number of Ashevill'
young men have cause to regret having
fallen in with the young man.

but AEer BEING Visited bv a Com
nIttee Seconsiders the Matter.
Verify, "the life Of politician is not
always a happy one"
The truth Of this saying is illustrated
by an incident occurring here yesterday.
1t will be remembered by those who
read THE CITIZEN that Dumps" Lane
and two other colored men were arrested
for running a "blind tiger" on Sycamore
street. The men were taken before Com
missioner Summey yesterday morning
where they waived examination and
gave bond in tie sum of 5000 each for
their appearance at court. Jetcr {.
Pritchard, Republican candidate for Con-
gress in the Ninth district, went on the
bond.
The news Of Pritchard's action became
known among the colored people in a
little while, and it caused great deal OF
comment. Some OF them plainly said
that they could not conveniently sup
port man who would furnish security
for q man who stood as low in their es-
timation as Dumps" did.
One Of the strongest takers in this
strain was Walter Greenlee. In the af-
ternoon he got into an argument on the
subject with his brother George. Wal
ter's language was probably more forci-
BILE than elegant, for George went before
Recorder Miller and swore out war
want for Walter.
Late in the afternoon a committee of
colored men, among them Harrison
Brown, the Leatherwood brothers. and
Walter Greenee, called on Pritchard.
The deputation argued with the: candi-
date, impressing on his mind the fact
that his action, If persisted in, would
surely lose to him the votes of many
colored men who otherwise would will
lingly support him.
Pritchard took counsel of his fears, ap;
parently, for he went before Commits
sioner Summey and surrendered the
men, reconsdering his action in going
on the bond. His piece on the bond
was taken by J. II. Loughran.
This evidently placated the kickers,
and today all is serene in the Republican
camp on that one point.

been received, but as the people had no
warning many lives must have been lost.
Near Tokushima great fissure opened
in the earth at the base of the Hoji

houses and 100 people. Rumbling
noises were heard days before the disas-

TEI: FALL. IN SILVER
SaxOny VIII Not Complete the
Longest Tunnel in the world.

BERLIN, Aug. 21.-In consequence OF
the tall in silver the Saxony Government
has decided not to complete its work on
the Observation-Disclosures Stolen, the long
est tunnel in the world The tunnel was
intended to drain water from all the
Frcibcrg silver mines and carry it to the
Elbe. The main tunnel is OF the same
length as the St. Gothard tunnel. Its
branches, however, add twentv-one miles
to its length, making the total extent
almost thirty miles. The tunnel was
begun at State expense in 1S4l, and
after thifty-thrce years of continuous
work it was opened in April 1877.
Hundreds of men are thrown out of
employment by the Governments de-
cislon, and it is expected that many more
will follow, as most of the Freiherg
mines, once the pride of Germany, have
been rendered unremunerative by the
fall in silver. Work in tine mines was be-
gun in 1900, and has produced $780,
0OO,0 marks worth of silver.-N. y.
