EDITOR THE CIT1zEN:-I have just seen
the report in THE CITIZEN of the 10th of
a statement made by Alderman J. M.
Gudger in regard to the Church street
matter, in which he says: cit was Cap
tain Johnston that had caused the Board
to wait 80 days for jury report by re-
lusing to accept service of notice after he
told the Chief of Police he would accept
service"
Nowif Mr.. Gudger had done me the fair
ness to tell all the facts about the mat
ter don't think 1 would have been
public of unreasonably causing this de-
lay. 1 di1 agree to waive the 80 days
notice, but after waiting for two or three
weeks, during which time 1 could have
been present the Chief of Police came to
me and said that the jury would meet on
a day when l had engagement that
would take me out of the city. When 1
asked the Chief of Police why he had not
summoned the jury, sooner he told me
that he was waiting till the court ended
so that Mr.. Sondley could be present. AS
l could not possibly he on hand at the
date suggested by the Chief told him 1
must withdraw my waiver of the legal
notice required. Mr.. Gudgcr ought to
know that 1.-The Board" has been tinker
ing with this Church street matter for
more than year and could long since
have had a determine tion of it; and that
this is about the third or fourth jury
they have summoned without any him
drance from me to widen this street.
1t am not mistaken. a report of a
jury is before the Board on which they
have never taken action. There has been
but one conference with me, so far as
now remember, to settle the matter and
that was several months, possibly year
ago. Since then L have proposed to
members of the street committee under
the old Board, as have suggested to our
present mayor that if a fair and reason
able proposition were made by the au-
thorities 1 thought the parties interested
would agree to it.
have only insisted on fair and just
compensation for the valuable property
the city proposes to condemn, less fair
| and reasonable award of benefits, if any,
which might accrue by the widening.
Very truly, Thos. ID. Johnston.

WHY TATE SPRINGS ?
Another BLOW at Ashevllle by the
Railroads.

EDITOR THE CITIZEN: The railroads
have made another blow at Asheville as
a resort. Not satisfied with reducing
the train service to this point during the
past winter, and raising the rate $4.25
for round trip tickets from Northern
points, while offering low rates and
good service to other resorts, they are
now endeavoring to divert large por-
ton of our summer visitors elsewhere.
For years ASheville has been headquar-
ters for summer tourists from Charles
ton, and we have invariably had more
visitors from Charleston than any other
city in the country, and the round trip
tickets have always been sale. al
though they were very high last season.
This summer unless some change is made
there will be no round trip tickets on
sale from Charleston to Asheville at all
but cheap round trip tickets can be OBJ
tanned to Tate Springs and other re-
sorts, any where except Asheville.
gentleman writing from Charleston
says that he was told at the ticket Office
in Charleston that he could not buy e
round trip ticket to this point, but that
they would sell him to Tate
Springs xxx.

a BIG DEAL.
The "Red I-ine,' sold to a Syndi-
cate of AsheyilIe Men.


One of the largest deals consummated
in Asheville for some time was the sale,
Yesterday afternoon, of the Montford
avenue car line. The road was sold by
the Asheville Loan, Construction and
Improvement company to a syndicate OF
Asheville men. composed of ex-Alderman
e. Baird, ]. S. Adams, w. H. Penland,
]. E. Dickerson and E. P. Withers. The
price paid was $4,000. The syndicate
will probably be headed by Mr.. Baird,
and the management of the line will
probably be in his hands as soon as the
formal transfer of the property is made.
In making the purchase the syndicate
will give bond to insure the extension
of the road to Pearson's bridge, on the
French Broad, by the first of November
1898. The line from the present termi-
nus to the bridge will, including swithes,
add one mile to the present length of the
line. This work of extension will be be-
gun as soon as the necessary material
can be brought here.
The company's office, for the present
will be at Powell 81 Snider's store.
This transfer runs the aggregate of the
A. L., c. & 1. Co.'S sales of property in
the past 60 days. to $12O,OOO, with the
guarantee of $3O. 900 more in 80 days
on account of the extension of the line.

Overflow.
PITTsBURG. May 1S.-The storm of
wind and rain that has prevailed
throughout eastern Ohio and western
Pennsylvania for three days is believed
to be over. Sharpsburg is under several
feet of water and the residents have
moved to the upper floors. At Beaver
Falls excitement is still at fever heat
over the prediction that the town is to
be swept from the face of the earth on the
10th. Few people slept as reports were
abroad that the upper dam just east of
town was weakening, and a break was
possible at any time. If this should
occur a body of water seven miles long,
half mile wide and eight feet deep will
| be released to dash on the lower end of
Beaver Falls, Fallston, Bridgewater and
other towns below. Pittsburg and Lake
Erie railroad officials were on the ground
all night with an enormous force of men
| doing everything in their power to pre-
vent the break.
The situation at Newcastle was very
grave this morning. break is threat
ened in the leveeS west of the town at
| any moment and Mayor Richardson has
sent the entire police force and fire de-
| partment to warn the people of South
Newchastle to flee to the hills. The
| break will cover that part of the city to
the depth of at least 12 feet.
Since midnight over 10 miles of New
| York, Pennsylvania and Ohio track be-
tween here and Sharonlhave been ruined.
The large railroad bridge near the Etna
furnace went down this morning with
| over 20 loaded cars.
| Several bridges and houses hoated
down this morning. Boats are plying
in three feet of water in the principal
streets and business is entirely sus.
pended.

peared on the pulpit platform and took
his seat.

of the errand-boy. Writing his name on

many DAYS she wondered why there was
no response from the gentleman. She
understands now. The Henderson post
master not being "up" in foreign lam
guages failed to translate the direction
in to Henderson" and sent the perfumed
missive to the dead letter Office, whence
it has recently been returned to the
writer.
