Walter l.. Mains tircu. VIII BE Here
Tomorrow.
All accounts agree that in Walter l..
Mains circus, which is to exhibit in
Asheville tomorrow, the people will see
a strictly hrst.class aggregation Two
performances will he given, doors open
ing at and G;3O p. M, and the amuse-
ment beginning an hour later. he
price OF admission will be 90 cents tor
adults and % cents tor childTch under
- years. The show was IN Charlotte
Monday, and the Observer wrote 1t up
for thrcc-tourths OF column, tom
which the following is clipped
Not since the days OF old John Robin
sons circus, has there gathered under
canvas, in Charlotte, such a crowd as
gathered under Walter l., Mains nam
moth tent Yesterday to witntS; his
great show, second IN its superior attrdc-
tons to none, not even the great Bar
num'a. Seven Thousand people wit
messed he afternoon performance, and
fully that many II not more were on
hand to eriov and applaud the features
of the great show by electric light. The
animals were, oi course, the first thing
to he taken in. They were as fine as
any ever seen here. The cages were
MANY, and the animals in remarkably
good condition. From the mcnageric
one passed into the big tent. Every
feature was fine. The lcaping and somer-
saulting tournaments by thorough
class OF experts was the best ever seen
here in circus ring. The rings were we'll
directed and the changes made quickly
and the interest of the crowd kept up to
concert pitch continually. There was no
time for any one to get tired. A more
delighted crowd was never seen at a
circus in Charlotte. When Mr.. Main
comes this way again, which he prom
ised yesterday to do next year, he will
have still greater crowd than was here
yesterday to greet him. He has an i'm
mense show, immense in quantity and
quality, and the Observer commends II
to all circus-loving folks as the best that
can be had in these days and times"

WARM IN PROHIBIIION'S RANKS
MAJ. wEsTALL MAKES II TOO HOT
FOR BURNHAM.

The Prohibition Committee Virtually
Rebukes Maj. Wcstall For Rubbing
1t Into the Endorsed 1andidate-A
Circular Letter issued.
1t is not often that a party organ'zl-
tion is placed in the attitude OF rebuklnG
its candidate, but that is practically
what the Prohibition party OF Bnncomoe
has done to Mai. T. c. Westall, the Pro-
hibition nominee for the lower House ot
the legislature.
Mai. Westall, as all Buncombe people
know, is neither Republican nor Demo-
crat, but Prohibitionist pure and SIM
pie, fighting the battle on platform OF
principle and the welfare of the homes OF
the country. He has been and is a
leader in his party. and was one W h'e
chairman OF the county committee. lie
was nominated in convention Tor the
House, along with Geo. Ii. Burnham
who was later endorsed by the Rcpnbli-
cans because Thomas Hale Weaver re
fused to-acccpt the honorS. 1t is said
pledges were not put to Rurnhan.
ANYWAY, Mai. Westall has been giving
Burnham what might be termed a
Thanksgiving turkey dressing, making
him vince under such terms as Judas,
traitor" and the like. And Maj. Nest
all can say scathing words IN scathlng
manner when he tries.
But he has been rebuked and his col
league, Burnham, heartily endorsed. y
This all was done at meeting OF the
executive committee at !. J. Hills ottice
on Market street. X. Nj. Beaver. the
old.time Republican who is now at the
head of the Prohibition committee, was
there with number OF other members,
|. |. Hill was secretary pro TEN Sccrc-
tarv Albright, VIII, is the business man

The committees action is embraced IN
the following;
Rcbukc for one; Praise for the other.
Bv resolution passed by the Prohl-
bition executive committee OF Buncomne
county in session this the 23d day OF
October 1891. the following circular let
ter was ordered to be issued to the
public:

vile supposed to have its existence tor

people, having refused to publish the
ticket nominated by our party IN con

said nominations, and, further,
Resolved, That we regret to hear OF
the course taken by our candidate, Maj
I. c. WestalI, in the onslaught he has
made on his colleague Geo. ii. Burn
ham, but heartily endorse the manly
fight OF Geo. ii. Burnham as our cand
date, and call upon every Prohibitions
to give him and the rest OF our ticke,
their support, as we regard him true
representative OF our principles. The
endorsement by the Republican party /:
no evidence that he has betrayed th'
confidence we reposed in him.
The nominees are: For the legisa

end of the enclosure is door through
which Mr.. Woody admitted THE CIrRE>.
The enclosure is in siz: lSx3J feet
Running along either side are hunks
about foot above the ground, and over
each OF these rows is another row to be
converted to the same use. in all there
are 2S OF these hunks, each 5X6 ,ect, and
an aisle of about six feet runs the whole
length of the enclosure.
The Ct closure is constructed in sec
tons of six feet each, held together by a
few bolts and bars, which can be de
tached within 10 or 90 minutes and the
whole outfit loaded on wagon for
TRANSFORMATION. 1t can lie set up in the
same length OF time. a canvas cover
will be spread over the enclosure with a
ridge pole in the cen,er, making the root
tent shaped.
This piece OF work will be the new win
ter quarters OF Buncombc county's chain
gang. 1t will be a big improvement
upon the old tents, as it can be more
easily kept comfortable in the winter
1t can, too. be very easily transported
from point to point as the convicts pro,
ceed with their road construction. The
stockade is ready to be taken out as
soon as the Commissioners decide where
it is to be placed first.
The plan for this work was prepared
by l.. Swicegood. and Mr.. Woody
made the model 1t is good jot
throughout. The canvas was ordered
from New York.

strange Muscular Power that Assists Them
In Fascinating Their Victims.
The power Of continuing motionless,
with the lifted head projecting for
ward for an indefinite time, is one OF
the most wonderful Of the serpent's
muscular feats, and is one Of the high
est importance TO the animal, both
when fascinating its victim and when
mimiclsing some inanimatc object. as,
for instance, the stem and bud Of an
aquatic plant; here il Is only referred
20 on account OF the effect IL produces
on the human mind, as enhancing the
serpent's strangeness. In this atti-
tude. with the round, unwinl<ing eyes
fixed on the bcholder's face, the effect
may be very curious and uncanny.
Ernest Granville. n South African
writer thus describes his own EXPERT
cnce. When a boy he frequently went
out into the bush in quest Of game,
and on one Of these solitary excursions
he sat down 20 rest in the shade
OF willow on the bank OF a
shallow stream; sitting there with
cheek resting on his hand ne
fell into a boyish reverie. After some
time he became aware in a vague way
that on the white, sandy bottom Of the
stream there was stretched long,
| black line, which had not been there at
! first lie continued for some time re-
! garding IL without recognizing what IL
was. but all at once, with an inward
shock, became fully conscious that he
was looking at a large snake.
ms, mt ~
so softly and silently was II done, the
snake reared It's head above the SUR
face and held IL there, erect and still,
with cleaning eyes fixed ON me inques-
| ton OF what was. II flashed upon me
then that IL would be a good opportu-
nity 10 test the power Of the human
eye an snake, and ] set myself the
task Of looking ID down. II was n fool
ish effort. The bronze head and
sincvyy neck, about which the water
flowed without a ripple, were as II
carved in stone. and the cruel, unwink-
ing eyes, with the light coming and
going i'm them. appeared 10 glow the
brighter the longer looked. Gradu.
ally there came over me sensation OF
sicltening fear, which, II had yielded
10 IL. would have left me powerless "a
move. but with n cry ! leaped mp. and,
Selling fallen willow branch. at.
tackled the reptile with a species OF
fury. Probably the idea Of the lcanti
originated In similar experience 81
some native.
The Icnnti, II must be explained is q
powerful and malignant being that
takes the form Of great serpent and
lies nj nigh. IN some deep, dark pool
and should man incautiously APP
proach and look down into the water
he was be held there by the power o
the great cleaning eyes. and finally
drawn down against his Will, power

ever in the black depths. -Fortnightly

THE SUGAR INVESTIGATION.
Revelations which Make Things Loos
Dark for tho Democracy.

Dark for tho Democracy.
The report OF the sugar trust inves-
tigatiug committees represents the
happening OF the expected. There was
never any reason 20 look for differ
ent result. because there was never
any reason 10 suppose that the com
mittee would make an earnest aud
thorough attempt 90 obtain the facts
A great deal OF testimony has been
taken, but il Is mostly of the kind that
stops where the trail begins TO be fresh.
The accused parties, and many not ac-
cused, were summoned one after an
other and their pleas OF not guilty ac-
cepted as conclusive proof in the case.
There Is nothing % show that plain
clews were followed up In a capable
and resolute way, or that suspicious
circumstances were pushed TO deh-
mite and satisfactory explanation. The
methods employed To ascertain the
truth concerning alleged corrupt or
improper proceedings were calculated
10 defeat that purpose by providing
ample opportunity for concealment
AS usual in such Investigations, the
line OF action was so adjusted as TO In
troduce an abundance OF irrelevant
matter and TO keep the essential points
out Of sight. There Is no doubt in the
public mind as 20 the fact that tor
tunes were made by spectators upon
advance information furnished by
democratic senators, and that certain
of those senators were large gamers in
the matter; but the committee was
not looking for such information, and
SO did not find IL.
There are some things OF damaging
kind In the report, however, which
could not be suppressed IL Is stated,
for instance, that Secretary Carlisle
drafted a sugar schedule which was
favorable to the trust, and that the
schedule finally agreed upon was OF
the same character. In other words,
, Il appears that the administration, as
! represented by Mr. Carlisle, took a
special interest in the sugar matter,
and that its recommendations were in
, perfect accord with the wishes of the
! trust This does not legally prove that
the trust was given the protection and
advantage that IL desired. or demand
/ ed, In return for its large contribution
20 the democratic campaign fund OF
1892; but certainly the coincidence
. raises strong presumption TO thai
d effect. II there was not bargain OF
n that kind, then the democratic sena
q tors, with the approval, II not at the
instance OF tho administration, made
