of New York to be associate justice OF
the Supreme court of the United States,
vice Blatchford, deceased; and Jas. J.

Judge Hornblower is a prominent and

has for many years had a very large

comes Of family of urists. In stature
MIR. Hornblower is small, reminding one
very much of the present chief justice Of

of great wealth by inheritance, which

TOO MANY HARVEST HANDS
n Drop In Wages on the Great
wheat Farms.

ST. PAUL, Sept. 1.-THE railroads
and over crowded cities have long since
ceased sending laborers to the harvest
fields of the Northwest. Early in the
season there was a scarcity OF help,
but within a month after this was
made known thousands of men from
Chicago, the Twin Cities, the mining
regions of Michigan, and as far west as
Denver, flocked to Minnesota and the
Dakotas. Since then there has been a
surplus of help, and as a result the
threshing crews are beginning to
cut wages. The first salaries paid
averaged about So per day, but
now they are from $15O to $1.75.
Many threshing machines and threshng
crews are idle, and they offer in some in
stances to thresh for one cent bushel all
around. This is a cut of over so per
cent. Even at this, less than three quart
ers of the men in the fields can secure
work, and there will soon be as great an
influx to the cities as there was to the
harvest field two months ago.-N. y

AN AUDITORIUM PROPOSED
A SCHEME 1T WILL. BE WELL

A Movement Bexiuninx That Has
For Its object The Erection of
Building to be Used For Large
Assemblies.

matter is just now being agitated in
Asheyille which, if carried to a successful
conclusion, will be one of the best things
yet done for the city. it is nothing less
than movement which has for its OBJ
ject the building of an auditorium. Ashe
vile has long needed such a building
One thing that has operated against the
city in securing the annual meetings of
large bodies has been the lack of a
structure sufficiently large to accomo-
date the crowds that would attend these
meetings.
Rev. X. G. Pearson, the evangelist, is
one of the prime movers in the matter.
He believes that if Ashev1lle had had an
auditorium a few months ago Rev.
Dwight l.. Moody would have come
here to hold a 10 days meeting. He
went to Charlotte, where there is a large
auditorium, and his meeting took thou
sands of people to that city. One large
gathering is already on tab" for Ashe-
vile for next sear-the meeting of the
American Pharmaceutical associations
and it is believed that others would come
| here as soon as it were known that
Asheville had an auditorium that could
be secured for the meetings. Asheville
is always attractive to bodies of dele
gates and other things being equal the
conventions would come here.
| One thing Mr.. Pearson has in his mind
| is the holding of Bible Institutes here.
| He believes he could secure MIR. Moody
| and other great divines and Bible stu
dents.
The plan regarding t he Asheville audi
forum contemplateS he erection of
brick building with capacity of from
| 500 to 2, 500, the building to be so
constructed as admit of it's being thrown
into one large hall or into central hall,
surrounded by committee rooms. The
| cost of the building is now figured at
about 100000. The auditorium at
Charlotte cost $4,000, the projectors
going i'll debt about $1,000 in the build
| ing. 1t has been finished s months and
in that time they have paid So, 100 on
| the debt and paid all running expenses.
What has been done i'll Charlotte can
be done here. 1t is believed that the
erection OF such a structure here would
| be good investment for the stock com
pany whith it is proposed to organize
| tor the purpose, as we'll as a great ad-
vertisement tor Ashcville. 1t is proposed
now that work on the auditorium will

SHOOTING AFFAIR
II Occurs Last Night At The Car
Ollna House.

Last night about O'Clock Eugene
Curtis. a plumber was shot and slightly
wounded by Harry F. Richmond, Geo.
w. Packs driver. The shooting occurred
in the corridor of the second floor of the
Carolina house, on North Main street.
From the information to be gotten
about the affair, it seems that Richmond,
who boards at the Carolina house, en-
tered Mr.. Curtis room and demanded
that the latter apologize for certain
words addressed to him earlier in the
day. Mr.. Curtis replied that he had
said nothing that he would apologies
for. At the same time he noticed a pistol
in Richmond hand, and being unarmed
and believing that his life was in danger
he sprang toward Richmond and
grasped the pistol. In the struggle which
followed the men got out into the cor
ridor, where Richmond fired three
times at MIR. Curtis. The first shot
struck the latter in the left heel
passing through tnat part of the foot,
Neither of the other bullets struck MIR
Curtis, who, after the third shot had
been fired, threw R2hmond down the
stairway. MIR. Curtis is laid up by his
wound, but it is not thought that it vii
be followed by any serious consequences
Richmond was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Morgan today and taken before
