Beyond the Shadows.

Death is always sad, but the death Of
a little child, in whom the parents love
has all been conferred; to nourish whose
tender life every effort has been made
to reclaim whom from the cold clutch
of death has been done all that medical
science, and love and tender devotion
could suggest, but adds to the bitter
ness of the cup of sorrow.
Little Catharine White, infant daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. White, died
at Roam Mountain last Saturday after
noon at 2 o'clock, of complication Of
ailments. She was not quite two years
old, and was the fourth child lost to
Mr.. and Mrs. White. Monday after

laid to rest in Love Gem etery, this city
where the grief-stricken parents.bathet

last and saddest separation from theil

AT Last

At last the city council and the South
ern Railway company have come to an
understanding about the several differ
ences between them. .l..
Maj. Huger came up from Knoxville
Tuesday and was present at the meeting
of the council Tuesday night. 1t was
settled that an arc light is to be taken
from the old sedge fields in Carnegie
and placed at the Southern depot. This
has long been needed, but the railway
company seemed too contrary to take
any action till Tuesday night. The
depot has been in darkness ever since
it was built, While the 'possum fields in
Carnegie have been thoroughly lighted
for the benefit of those who wanted to
hunt.
Another great feat accomplished was
a plan to take up the side track along
the square and place it opposite the
foundry. This does away with the ne
cessity of gates at the street crossings
a protection the city has been clamoring
for for long time. The railway COM
pany will also furnish dirt to fill the
depressions about the water tank.
Is it possible that all theselong need
ed blessings are forthcoming? Yes.

it struck the house and went through

numerous holes from one to three inches

Chas, Phillips, brakeman on the

Tuesday at o'clock on j. NJ, Bucks
lumber yard below the foundry.
Phillips was switching when the &C.
cident occurred. He was on the end of
a coal car and pile Of lumber struck
him, knocking him off. He fell under
the car and was dragged for thirty yards
by the wheels and brake beam. His

Phillips was young man only about
90 years old and was unmarried. He

them at once and the remains of their
beloved boy sent to them on the 3;45
train. ~. .....'.... ................ A..
We understand that the Buck Lum-
Der Co., is in no way responsible for
the accident, as the lumber was being
handled by an independent contractor,
who had a contract at a certain price
per thousand to take lumber from the
cor and pile it on their, yard while it
appears that for convenience the con
tractor placed a small pile Of lumber
near the track without the knowledge
or direction Of the Buck Lumber Co.

Mayor Faw reported conference Of
number of the council with Mai. F.
X. Huger, superintendent of the 4th
division Of the southern, in which the
major agreed to recommend to the COM
pany the removal of the side track along
the square in front Of the Green
wood Hotel, and put same in west of
the foundry in front of Rufe Hickey's
house and Bucks lumber yard. This
track is for the purpose of loaeiag and
unloading cars from and into wagons.
He agreed to further recommend to the
company that it furnish the earth to
fill up the low place around the track
and to observe the ordinance of the city
in regard to speed of trains through
the corporate limits, provided the city
rescind its ordinance to force the CON-
pany to put up gates at Market and

A resolution suspending the ordi-

More Prosperity.

The Tannery at Watauga shut down
Monday throwing about fifty hands ont

sire on the part Of the company to see
what was going to be done with the
tariff on hides. If the tariff as sched-
uled by the DINGHY bill becomes a law
tanning will have to be done on new
basis. All of which means that leather
will have to go up or labor down or

Nashville to be Sued.

The Nashville American says that the
city of Nashville is to be sued. Comp
troller Harris stated that he would
proceed against the city to collect the
state tax ON police court fines, which
will amount to $25, 900 or 100000. The
recent decision of the supreme court
that the cities are liable whether the
tax is collected or not, has been over
looked in the cities throughout the state.
An investigation of the books is now
being made. Comptroller Harris will
also proceed against a number Of other
