YANDERBILT'S CASTLE.
Description The Magnificent Place
Being Erected Near Asheyille, n.
c., by Geo. W. Vanderbilt.
Chattanooga Times. !


Two miles out from Asheville, n.
G., is little station, Biltmore. 1t is
the headquarters of water tank and
the gate of Wentworth Inn. 1t is
something more. The Salisbury and
SpaTtanburg division of the Western
North Carolina Railroad come
together here, while little branch
road defects TO the right and is lost
among the hills.
Ii you happen to see one of the
little cars on This road you will notice
the letters sc. w. \. V. c." on it.
The car is loaded with stone or coal,
ma, be iron, and you may be sure it is
bound for Eanderbilt'S famous build
ing, two miles away. "Blltmore" is
Cailed for Vanderbilt and a resident
by the name of Moore, who has a
pretty cottage on the road, just above
the station. 1t Is 4 smooth Combina
ton, and likely to become famous.
Following t. branch road, which
runs up and down hill with equal
facility, and winds around the noun
talns, you reach. i'll the course of half
an hour, the summit of Long Pine
This IS the busiest spot in North Caro-
lima. You pass Nandcrbilt's stone
quarry, where much of the material
for rougher work has been secured ;
YOU view his brick yards, where mil
lions of cubes are pressing and baking;
you stop at his blacksmith shop, where
the tools are mended and some cast
ingS made; you ride near the shady
home which he has purchased for his
chlefengineer, always following up the
rails and telegraph lines, which lead to
thestop where lies the site of the house
of Vanderbilt.

Several years ago Vanderbilt wan
dered down to Buncombe county, n.
c., and was attracted by the beauty
OF the place. He rode over the
mountains, and while at the summit
of Long Pine, two miles from Ashe-
vile, concluded he would buy tract
and put up a shooting lodge. This
led to the purchase of a large lot of
land up and down the mountain and
along the French Broad, with the idea
of controlling everything in sight and
preventing settlers from obstructing
the view or coming too close. Visions
of deer park, quail covers, farms, and
other schemes enlarged his domains
until his acres began to be numbered
! by thousands. White and black set
tiers surrendered their lodgings at
good prices, and now there are only
two or three black dwellers within the
Vanderbilt limits, who have refused to
! sell out, and hold their places at ST.
900 per acre. Vanderbilt may buy
! them out or he may freeze them out.
When Vanderbilt had finished his
| purchase of 5000 acres, his eyes
broadened. Instead of a shooting
lodge he decided to put up resi-
denc, and such residence as would
make Chauncey Depew's eyes glisten
| at Peekskill. So he set about and
levelled off the cone of the mountain
thirty feet. Some time over a year
ago he began to lay his foundation,
and his stone masonry now begins to
rise sheer over the side of the noun
tain like walled precipice. This is
just what Vanderbilt wanted, for he
determined that his castle would have
the view and command the heights
unobstruCted. He concluded to spend
from his income abou. 100000
year for ten years, and he is pretty
we'll assured, at the end of that time.
OF having the finest private residence
IN America, possibly in the world.
Inc architects are very clever, but
will not show the designs of the house.
Perhaps they fear somebody will
duplicate them before the dwelling is
completed. The building will be 400
feet long and 800 feet wide. 1t has
tennis court to the left which is
marvel of masonry and filling, and
which alone cost $4,000. The ban
quet hall is to be 70 feet long, and
will have a pitch of 50 feet. Under
the main entrance of the hall will be a
swimming pool, while fine gymna-
SUM, wine cellar, and art gallery
are to be connected with the establish
ment.
Three miles back of the dwelling is
a cold spring on the top of Busby
Mountain. He had purchased this
and carries the water in six iron pipes
all the way to the Long Pine. This
will give him volume and pressure
enough for every part of his premises,
and enable him to throw a stream 100
feet high from any point on his place.
1t will insure dozen or more foun-
tains in his parks and drives; 500
hands are at work on the grounds and
buildings. Superb carriage ways are
graded and macadamized up the
mountain, commanding an approach

SENATOR HILL REJOICES,
And Advises Democracy to Adopt
an Aggressive Policy.

ana ADVISES DomOCraCy TO ADOPT
an Aggressive Policy.
Senator Hill said in an interview to-
day:
Every good Democrat will heartily
rejoice over the return of the Demo-
cratic party to power in the nation.
The victory is most overwhelming and
gratifying. 1t is not only the personal
triumph Of ex-President Cleveland and
a just tribute to him, but it is a vindi-
cation of the Democratic principles
which he championed. The people
were opposed to force bill and desired
tariff reform, and upon those two
issues we have won the victory. I'm
questionably the Federal election issue
kept several Southern States with us
which might otherwise have gone for
the Third party. I trust that our
victory will carry with it the control
of the United States Senate, which will
enable us to place Democratic legisla-
ton upon the Federal statute books.
We shall then cease to be mere op-
position party, and can secure the rem
edial legislation which the people
demand, and that opportunity will
build up the Democratic party and
make it strong.
Il think the Democracy would pre-
fer vigorous aud aggressive policy,
and to that end the existing Federal
election law should be repealed. 1t is
a vexatious, arbitrary and unnecessary
measure. capable of great injustice and
abuse, and in the hands of unprincipled
officials may become an instrument of
aggression. am particularly graft
fed with the glorious result in New
York State. The State organization
Of the party, as wellas the organization
IL nine-tenths Of the counties, was in
the hands of my friends-those who
loyalty supported my claims at Chicago
and | was extremely DESTROYS that
an excellent showing should be made,
and 1 am more than satisfied. "-Wash-

CASTLE CULLINGS.
From the Rnnnrfar /


Geo. H. Wilson started on a business
trip to Livingston last Tuesday. He will
probably return this week.
Another rich find of high grade ore
was made in the west drift on the 400
foot level of the Yellowstone again this
week. This property seems determined
to make another bonanza for it's owners.
The city council at their regular meet
ing last Tuesday night granted an cleo
trio light franchise to P H. Tooley and
associates, a company composed of Cas-
tie people They will meet tonight to
organize, file their incorporation papers
with the secretary of state, and COM
mence at once to put in their plant.
The city will receive three lights free Of
charge for two years, as consideration
for the franchise.
Castle, with two or more railroads
which we seem certain to get, will be a
railroad center Of no mean proportions
and will justly entitle us, on account of
our central position in the state, to put
in bid for the capital. If we don't get
it ourselves the place that gets our vote
will be sure to win.

The New School Building.

As the question of plans for the new
school building has been finally settled
by the acceptance of those submitted
by Galbrath & Fuller it will be of inter
est to readers of the ENTERPRISE to

sions of the building are 62x9O feet, with
basement 9 feet in clear; first story, 13
feet in clear; second story, Ii feet in
clear, and second story hall 16 feet in

face trimmings, stone window sllls, lin
tells, water tables and underplnnlng.
The roof will be shingled, floors lined
and deadened with concrete, and all
walls built hollow, with two-inch air
space from bottom to top. The rooms
are well ventilated and easy Of access by
reason of their close proximity to each
other. while at the same time they are
divided by brick partition walls, etfectu-
ally preventing the transmission OF sound
from one room to another. The main
entrance will be from Calender street,
fronting south, with side entrance on
the east and rear entrance to the north.
The front and east entrances will con-

utilized for heating, ventilation and
play room purposes, is reached by stairs
under the main stairway, which leads
from the rear of the large hallway to
the second story. The first story will
contain four school-rooms, each supplied
with cloak and wash rooms. Two Of
these rooms located in the west end and
having a capacity for 60 and 40 scholars,
respectively, will open. into the large
hallway, while the other two rooms'
with a capacity of 80 and 45 pupils, are
reached from the hallway with entrance
from the east. The sides OF school
rooms and Railways will be walnscoted
to heights of window sills, above which
will be placed Portland cement black
boards. Upon the second floor which is
reached either by the spacious stairway
or the side hall stairway, will be two
10 -oo scbool rooms, with seating capacity
Tor 36 and 60 pupils, in the east end,
while to the right of entrance hall will

nos exhibitions, ETC., with seating
.apacity of 300 persons. In the front
md Of the hall will be library and lab
,ratory, connected with the hall. Sur
counting the structure will be bell
over. which aside from the uses for
,hich it is designed will give greater
rominence to the building. The build
10 will be finished throughout in native l
,oods, stained oak and walnut The
entilating and heating will be done
