CAIT. CORPENING TALKS
WHAT THE A., A. & B. ROAD
WILL, AMOUNT TO.
Such a Liberal OfFtr, He Hayit, In
Unheard of In the Ani.nla ol
Railroading Turn Out and
Vote.
Captain W. G. Corpening, a k-adinjt
citizen of this place, who has been lor the
last eight month engaged in completing
a contract on the Bristol, Elizabethan
and North Carolina railroad armed in
the city on yesterday, for the avowed
purpose of saying and doing all lie could
to induce the people to rally as one rann
to the railroad proposition to be rotcd
on next Monday.
Cap. Corpening says that if the people
will carry this proposition, they will be
as certain of getting an independent
northern connection as they go to the
polls. He is thoroughly familiar with
the Tennessee section of this line, lie
and his brother did much of the work
already done between Bristol and the
North Carolina line, and will continue to
work on it till the contract is completed;
and Mr. Corpening says the statement
made by Mr. Dulaney, the president, in
Thb Citizrn yesterday can be implicitly
relied upon. Hesavs that in eonseniiem-p
of the stringency in money matters the
or Has been suspended for the last few
months but that he received notice on
Friday List, after a mcetim of the lumr.l
of directors, that the work would com
mence, and be pushed with all nossible
speeil till completed.
Capt. Corpening savs the subscriptions
of Bristol, BluffCtlv and Carter cottntv.
amounting to $17fl,000 were given in
aid of the road, lie savs in nil his rail
road experience, extending back to IStiH,
he never heard of a subscription to rail
road lieiiiL' other than as a L'ilt. and tlw
idea of t he people getting a first mortgage
lien, and the stockholders Ining required,
as they are m this case, to secure the in
terest by a bond or obligation, is some
thing unheard of in railroading.
Capt. Corpeninc savs Asheville could
afford to have a dozen railroads tied up
with such a wide blue ribbon as thai,
lie reminds the people thai this road
computed to Bristol, not only gives a
connection wilh the Norfolk anil
Western, and the Louisville and Nash
yille over the Big Stone Cap road, but
the Danville and liast Tennessee and an
other new road soon to be built, going
in the direction of Chattanooga.
The Bristol jieoplc, he says, are greatly
moved, and exceedingly interested in
what the people here are about to do.
and if the vote is carried here a public
meeting will be held there to express
their gratification at the action of old
Buncombe.
THK H.OWKR MIMMIOIS.
The Report For June, and an Ap
peal to Liberal citizen.
At the regular monthly meeting for
July of Asheville' Associated Charity,
commonly known as the "Klower Mis
sion," the report of the city missionary
was made, showing 198 visits made dur
ing the last two months. The report ul
the suierintendcnt of the central office
thowed 107 visits, 20 families helped, 3H
orders given, and 3(i applicants at the
omce. ims last is a marked increase,
and shows that this department is grad
ually becoming a recognized feuture of
the work.
Less encouraging, however, was the
treasurer's account for June. Receipts,
$54.50; expenditures, $00.72. In addi
tion to this small deficit, there are out
standing bills for drugs and provisions
to the amount of $63.70, which should
be paid nt once.
There is, it seems, to judge from the
treasury, a prevalent opinion that 'sum
mer vacation" extends to contributions
to mission work, and that the poor need
but little assistance during the warm
months, whereas there is more sickness
now than in the cold weather, and drug
oins more man take tne place of the fuel
bills of the winter.
The county does its share in the work.
and the question now is how shall we
make up this deficit and begin next
month with balanced books? An enter
tainment has been, suggested, but al
though the "Flower Mission" is coinnos-
ed of women, the so-called devotees of
this method of raising money, we wish
to be an exception to the rule, nnd make
the old-fashioned fair or the more mod
ern lawn party our last resort. In view
of this fact the Mission makes first an a-
peai 10 me iineranty of Asheville citizens,
many of whom have hcloed the work In
the past, and asks them to share with it
the responsibility of caring for the poor
and needy of the place.
Contributions may be sent to the treas
urer, Mrs. W. W. Burnard, 7 North Main
street, or to the Central office, 20 Spruce
street.

The match shoot between five members
each from the Asheville Gun club and the
Asheville Rifle team was held yesterday,
the Rifle team shooting at its grounds on

At the conclusion of the match Captain
Graves, of the Rifle team, promptly chal
lenged Capt. Lusk, of the Gun club, to
shoot a match on July 20, under the
same regulations as governed yestcrdav's
match, with five men each, with this
difference; the Rifle team to use the Gun

Clsvki.ani), 0., July 15. One of the
largest and, nt the same time, most in
harmonious conventions ever assembled
in the history ol the Ohio democracy met
here this morning. The renomination of
Governor Campbell had been conceded
by his opponents since last evening, but
they sturdily determined lo refuse, after
the formal result should lie assured
the time honored courtesy of an unani
mous remonination.
The vast music hall m which the con
vention was held was packed to its
utmost long before the hour of meeting
arrived. The decorations consisted
largely of the American class, which
draed pillars, gallcriesand boxes

made n ringing speech.
liX-Congressman Frank Lcliloiid, of
Mercer county, was selected as perma
nent chairman of the convention, lie
was enthusiastically received. Chairman
I.eUlond denounced the last republican
congress for its bad legislation and its
attempt lo pass the iniiuitoiis force bill
and thereby perpclun-.c in power the
parly which lor a decade has been the
representative of the monopolies and
enemies of the people. Applause
General Armstrong, of Cleveland,
moved that the convention adopt the
picture of a victorious rooster as the
device to designate the democratic ticket,
the recent bullot reform law requiring
the selection of some device.
"The republicans" said Armstrong,
"will recognize that as our symbol and
every man who votes the democratic
ticket can put his mark under the roos
ter." Laughter and applause
The suggestion struck the convention
favorably and Mr. Armstrong's motion
was adopted by acclamation.
The first contest in the convention
arose over the report of the committee
on credentials on the 25th ward of Cin
cinnati. The Hamilton county delega
tion generally protested against the re
port of the committee nnd supported the
minority report.
The majority report of the credentials
committee was overwhelmingly adopted.
Chairman Fiuley, of the resolutions
committee, submitted a majority report
on the platform. It commends Camp
bell's administration, favors tariff for the
sole purpose of revenue sufficient to eco
nomically administer the government,
accepts the issue involved in the McKin
ley act, favors the income tax, demands
the free and unlimited coinage of silver,
and congratulates the people on the
defeat ol the force bill and expresses sym
pathy with the Russian Jews. The mi
nority report declares against the free
silver and income tax planks.

The committee engaged in correcting
the Young Men's Christian Association
boarding house register for tc summer
earnestly request nil who will take
boarders to notify them of the fact. The
register is being more used by strangers

lie a complete index to the respectable

not make it such unless the houses will

Prominent Republican.
Ciiattanoooa, Tcnn., July 15. Judge
J. A. Wardercommittedsuicidelast night.
1 he act has created a sensation through
out the stale. Since the death ol his
son-in-law, Simpson Fayette, the result
of a family quarrel in which Fayette
was killed, Judge Warder's daughter
was wounded and he himself seriously
hurt, he has been attacked with melan
cholia and his mind has been in a very
unsettled condition. Since his release
from confinement on account of his
wound he has been residing on Lookout
mountain with his wife and mother.
Yesterday, upon the advice of his
mother, he went back to thecity in order
to be relieved of the monotony of rural
life. Bv some unknown means he secured
a pistol in Chattanooga and last night,
at midnight, after saying his prayers in
the presence of his mother and bidding
her an affectionate goodbye he placed
the revolver to his temple and fired. The
Wall entered the brain and caused death
in about two hours.
Warden, before the unfortunate traucdv
in which he killed Fnyci.ta, was one of
me most prominent solicitors in the
state. At one tune he was mentioned as
a republican nominee for uovernor. He
served for n time on the supreme court
iiincn ot tne state. lie was attorney of
the city ol Chattanooga up to last night,
when his resignation was accepted by
the city council.
