ident thought the people knew
what they were about.
. Asheville, U. C, Oct. 21.
This morning's run of the Presi
dent's special train between sun
rise and late breakfast took in the
ascent of the great smoky spur of
the Alleghanies, the line lying for
fifty miles or more beside the
French Broad river. TSot all the
tourists were up, and these missed
the panorama whose varied charms
are no where surpassed. At Hot
Springs, Senators Ransom aad
Yance and Congressman Hender
son boarded the train and acconi
panied the President to Asheville.
About 8 o'clock the watches of the
party, which were set back three
weeks ago at Pittsburg, were ad
vanced from central to eastern
time.
Morganton, K. C, Oct. 21,
During the descent of the moun
tain along the banks of Mill Creek,
the head-waters of the Catawba,
the entire party, including the wife
and daughter of Senator Ransom,
wrho came on at Asheville, assem
bled iu the observatory, the Pres
ident and Mrs. Cleveland standing
most of the way on the platform.
Major McBee, railroad superintend
ent, called attention to points of
interest, a dozen of which were in
sight at one time. The remarks
of the least poetic ot the tourists
were broken and ejaculatory, while
the artist became almost incoher
ent and wanted to get off.
Old Fokt, Oct. 21. The stop
at Asheville, K". C,, was scheduled
for only fifteen minutes, but it last
ed an hour. The municipal au
thorities and host of citizens wel
comed the President at the station
and escorted him amd his compan
ions to carriages and took them
through the town. The way for
half a mile was up a steep hill, and
it struck the guests as an oddity
that their conductors in calling at
tention to the natural beauty of
the situation should refer to the
locality as a valley. Therefore,
North Carolina was better under
stood when the summit was reach
ed, from which on all sides could
be seen from ten to fifteen miles
distant the tops of the Blue Ridge,
the Baltasa rnge, the Smokies
and Black Mountains, hemming in

Charleston, W. Va., Oct. 10.
Fully three huudred citizens
started out yesterday morning after
the robbers who murdered Mr.
I Ryan, near Walton, Roan county,
last Thursday night. After the
house was robbed and the old mau
was shot the robbers, thirteen in
number, compelled the family to
send him up stairs and to get break
fast for them. The officers and
citizens ran into the robbers last
night at George DufFs residence,
eight miles from Sessouville, this
county, and were warned to keep
off by the robbers, who had taken
refuge iu a house fitted with port
holes and had made other arrange
ments for protection. The mur
derers fired upon the pursuers and
Geo. Duff, Jr., was killed. After
a very severe aud determined
fight, on both sides, Jack Coon
was captured and lynched. Five
of the officers and citizens were
wounded. There are about twen
ty robbers in the gang, who have
been carrying on at a high rate

Frank Schambliug are prisoners,
and await disposal by the vigilance
committee. Coon is the man who

whole gang will be lynched. Vig

Charlotte Chronicle.
At the Cleveland demonstration
in Salisbury, last Friday evening,
it is reported that a lady tried to
kiss the President's baud. She
grasped the hand for tho usual
shake aud then attempted to touch
it with her lips, when Mr. Cleve
land jerked away his hand and in
a vexed tone said: "Go on away."
If the incident is true, in only
shows Cleveland's good sense m
putting his foot down upon any
such carryings on. The Southern
people are in love with him, as a
general thing, but the hand-kiss
ing would bo carryiug tho thing
too far.
