NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 26.-Delegates
to the democratic state convention to
send delegates to Chicago met in this city
today at noon arrived this morning on
every train. About 1900 delegates had
arrived at noon. Hon. James D. Porter,
assistant secretary of state under Presi-
dent Cleveland, was the central figure of
the convention and the leader of the
friends of Cleveland. Hon. J. c. Atkins,
Congressman Cox and other notables
are here.
Last evening there was feeling that
possibly the policy of mo instruction"
would be vigorously urged by the oppo-
ncnts of Cleveland which would be aided
ny some who thought the policy of in
structions wrong. But as the late ar
rivals came in, and the delegates in
structed by their counties began to cir
culatc. the feeling changed. Soon it was
conceded that the delegates to Chicago
would be instructed for Cleveland.
The convention is a Cleveland one and
he only difference existing was as to the
wisdom OF instruction. Hon. Ernest
Pillow, district attorney of this district
under Cleveland, will be temporary
chairman, and Hon. W. c. Dismuke, ex.
speaker of the state senate, a strong
Cleveland man, will be permanent chair

NARROW ESQ APE
Thrown Into Ditch Through the
BOlting of Four Horses.

BERLIN, May 2+.-Thc Danzigcr Zeit-
ung says that Emperor William mar
rowly escaped being killed in a runaway
between Schlobitten and Proekclwitz.
The emperor was driving with Count
Dohna, whose guest he is. One of the
four horses became frightened and boltcd.
The other horses became unmanageable.
and they all started down the highway
at a terrific pace.
The Emperor, on account of the help
lessness of one arm, was unable to pull
them i'll and Count Donna graspcd the
reins too late to check their flight.
One OF the horses fell while the carriage
was being whirled along the edge of a
low embankment, and the shock threw
the Emperor from the drivers seat into
the ditch. Count Donna hung on. The
coachman quoted the horses, while the
Count ran to the assistance of the En-
peror.
The latter had already picked himself
up and was examining his right leg,
which at first he thought had been Sc
verely strained, but which was found to
be only brulsed.-New York World.

A GRAND CIRCUIT.
A Scheme for SeMi-Weekly Hacks
to Chimney Rock.

THE CITIZEN is informed that scheme
is now being arranged to run a regular
line of vehicles, say twice week, to
Chimney Rock; thence returning up
Broad river through Rivers Head park
at Lakey's Gap, to Black Mountain,
and down the Swannanoa to Ashevile.
BY this route more grand scenery can be
witnessed in a short time and at less
expense than can be found in any other
portion of the south. In the CHM
ney Rock valley are three good hotels,
where the first night can be spent
by tourists. After visiting the Dome,
the caves and other scenery, the tourists
can go from Chimney Rock to the hotel
at Black Mountain in a half day,
witnessing fine views at the head
waters of Broad river, Catawba and the
Swannanoa, spending the second night
at Black Mountain. Then the splendid
Swannanoa valley can be taken in on
the return to Asheville.
The plan seems to be a good one, and
the development of this scheme, will bt
watched with interest.

men rushed to the platform expecting to
sec his mangled form upon the track,
but the fact was he had forgotten to put
his bottle of "Buncombe Pills" in his
satchel and would not start on his jour

but he might have taken greater.

handled democratic and republican prin-

hell" He was for free trade, not tariff

A Monster Evergreen Nursery.

The annual catalogue of the Ever

has been issued, and this office has
been favored with a copy. They now
list fully three hundred varieties OF
cOnfierous eversreens. Some of them
are very strange and unique in form
and habit Of growth. They have been
to great pains and expenses to secure
seeds and plants of evergrcens found
native in all parts of the earth. If
a man wants evergrccns cheap but
good tor screens, groves, wind-breaks
OF hedges, there is no better place to
90 in America. If Il man is fond of
the marvellous strange and curious
forms in nature there ID no other
place in this country where his fancy
can be satisfied with rare and beau.i-
full evergreen.
The nurseries are growing the plants
in immens numbers, planting the
seedse by the ton They imported
from one seed house in Germany last
season 1900 pounds. besides all they
gathered in this country, getting large
quantities from Colorado, Washington,
California and all the western states
and territories 1t is we'll worth amy
