SCANDAL CLOSES BILTMORE.
q. W. Vanderbilt, DisEusted by Dishonest
Employees, Goes Away for . Year.


Employees. Goes Away for Year.
AsHEvILLE. N. c.. Sept sc-Biltmore
house. the country home Of George W.
Vanderbilt, two miles from Asheville. ON
which Mr.. Vande rbilt has spent millions Of
dollars, is to be closed at least for one year
and probably for a longer period. This
announcement was made to-day.
In connection with it comes the report
that large number Of the employees Of the
estate have been discharged and that the
improvements which have been going on
for several years are to be curtailed. They
will not be stopped entirely.
The forestry department has not been
touched. owing to the fact that the master
Of Biltmore has practically nothing to do
with it. In it are a large number of young
men from the East learning forestry under
DR.. Schenk, the head forester Of the estate,
who receives fees from those students in
person.
A story that is generally believed is that
Mr.. Vanderbilt is Disguised with the dis
covery made some days ago that the estate
had been robbed to the amount of 5000
or more. The investigation Of the books
Of tho estate il proceeding, but whether
q larger defalcation than the ono at first
discovered has been found cannot be stated.
Mr.. Vanderbilt will no. prosecute the
man suspected OF the crime. The servants
at Biltmore House, with few exceptions,
it is understood, have been discharged.
The house will be closed on Saturday,
at which time Mr.. Vanderbilt will leave
Asheville for New York. 1t is understood
among his friends here that he will sail
for Europe soon after reaching New York
and that he will not set foot in the Eiti-
more house again for year at least and
perhaps for longer period.
No estimate as to the exact number Of
men who were discharged can be obtained,
on account OF the close-mouth order which,
it is said, was issued as soon as the defalca-
ton was discovered.
The Biltmore estate proper consists OF
$500 acres, all of which is improved. On it
is situated mansion which is said to have
cost it's owner from So, 900 900 to IS 1000 900.
The whole estate comprises between 100000
and 1c5 600 acres

What flower is this that greets the
morn,
Its hues frsm heaven so freshly born?
with burning star and flaming band
1t kirdlee all the sunset land:
o tell ES what its name may be-
Is this the flower of liberty2
1t is the banner of the free.
The starry Flower of LibertyI
In savage Natures far abode
Its tender seed our fathers sowed;
The storm winds rocked its swelling bud.
Its opening leaves are streaked with
blood,
Till. lol earth's tyrants shook to see
The fulI-blown Flower of Liberty
Then hail the banner of the free,
The starry Flower Of Liberty.
Behold it's streaming rays unite.
One mingled flood OF braided light
The red that fires the Southern rose,
With spotless white from northern SHOWS,
And. spangled Ger with azure, see
The sister stars of Liberty.
Then hail the banner of the free,
The starry Flower of Liberty.
The blades of heroes fence It round;
Wherever it springs is holy ground;
From tower and dome its glories spread;
1t waves where lonely sentries tread,
1t makes the land as ocean free,
And plants an empire on the seal
Then hail the banner of the free,
The starry Flower OF Liberty.
Thy sacred leaves. fair Freedoms flower,
Shall ever float on dome and tower,
To all their heavenly colors true.
In blackening frost or crimson dew
And God love US as We love thee,
Thrice holy Flower of Liberty.
Then hail the banner OF the free,
The starry Flower of Liberty
