demanded the city men to release the
canine; but the men refused, and the
situation looked very serious for about
ten minutes
The crowd grew larger and larger. The
wagon drove OFF, and a mob composed or
men, women, and children, followed in
pursuit. The angry mob wreaked their
vengeance on the catcners by throwing
at them sticks and ROCKS and every con-
ceivable thing hey could put their hands
On.
There was only one of the dog men hit
this being Mr. Blackburn, who was struck
on the head with rock, but not seri-
ously hurt An effort will be made to-
day to find the men who caused the
trouble, and they will be prosecuted to
the full extent Of the law. The charge
preferred will pe interference with an
officer OF the law in the discharge OF his
duty
The men were unable to cope with the
situation. as none of them had weapons,
and were forced to retreat towards the
city When they reached Broad street
the mob left off the chase and returned
to Oregon Hill without the hound.

who has shown every inclination TO let
it remain there. The colored mans name
is Charles Collins. It has been report
ed that Collins has changed his mind
about keeping the property, and that he
was now willing to sell. This is a fact
but it still seems that Mr.. Vanderbilt will
not be the purchaser. Collins recently
gave the facts in the matter. He said:
Il was born and raised right here in
Bunconbe county, and I've been living
on my place there at Biltmore ffty-six
years-tllat's how old I am.
Did Mr.. Vanderbilt try to buy the
property from you?"

"A gentleman in AshevilEe wants 10 buy
the property and I'm thinking of making
a deal with him. But I'll give Mr. Van
derhilt the first chance at it. If he don t
want it then I'll sell to the gentleman"
Did Nj Vanderbilt want your prop
erty badly?" he was asked
Well. no; I don't know that ne did.
It's shown there IN a place where it don't
interfere with him much
Collins was q slave and says so with
an evident pride. He is proud, too, OF his
raising. and of the position he occupies
es q property owner and taxpayer
He is indignant at the prospect OF his
being disfranchised. He says he pays
$50 per year taxes, and he thinks he ought
10 be allowed to vote. or else have those
who DO vote pay his taxes. He said a
year ago he was going away-to Phila-
delphia-and gave as a reason for his
going what he considers the injustice in
his being DISTINGUISHED But he IS still
