From a letter which we published yes
terday froni Mr. K." D. May, of Webster,
and which we intended to note -in the
same issue, we are satisfied we t have, un
wittingly, dpiie .gross injustice to the
above party The paragraph in, the Cm
izBN in which ,M. : Mathews was char
acterized as a. swindler was made up
from a paragraph in the Charleston
News and (Jourier giving the materi al sub
stance of the paragraph ,in the Citizen.
It was so substantial in its details we
presumed some stranger had gone among
the people of Jackson and had swindled
them, and had fled, and so. mentioned
the fact. . It is very far from our pur
pose at any tune, to do injustice .to
any living man; we have .no patience
with such in others, and never indulge
in such ourselves; and believing we have
been misled ' into doing very great in
justice to Mr. Mathews, we desire to
inakeibe fullest.,, amends... How the
News and Courier or- it -correspondent
could have gotten such rumors upon
which to base such an article we are
at a loss to conceiva. We regret our
participation in giving it currency, and
shall only be the more careful of our
sources of information hereafter.
Stabnes Stbeet.
The beautiful Merrimon property re
cently purchased by "he Starrres broth
ers, is being made accessible, and made
ready frr proposed subdivisions. A street
40 feet in width, has been opened from
Water street across to Flint street, which
street is the Northern extension of Hay
wood street. -
Owing to the nature of the ground, the
new street has to follow very conspicu-
ly, Hogarth's line of beauty, but what is
lost in straightness, is gained in pictur
esqueness. Several fine lots are opened
with frontase on four different streets.
This purchase adds .a large and very eli
gible area for improvement, 'and is desr
tined to become one of the most cnarm-
ing,sections of A.slieville. i a

Counterfeiters Arrested. . . . !
Mr. W. R. Rector brought in yesterday
afternoon two men Wm. T. Hopkins and
LaFayette Hopkins, arrested in Waynes- j
villo charged with passing counterfeit
coin, rne accused were examined, .be
fore Commissioner J. Wiley Shook, and
the proof was deemed sufficient to justify
their committal, : Xhe- counteneits ara
imitations of dollars and half dollars,
very rude presentments of the red coin.
They are not calculated to deceive; yet
a number of half dollars had been put off
on the ignorant or unwary. Besides the
evidence of the parties imposed upon,
there were found on the persons of the
prisoners specimens of the counterfeit
money. The dies were not found. . v

:9Hy, as sucu was itji. uiajjutseu to.meei
the necessary outlay. The Adttanee "of
this'morning has an article urginga sale,
and says :; ---r ' u i"'' " -''-",
; "ty.e ti.veinuch iiko .OovYance
some years ago, when being told that

which resulted in the failure of the road

; Tf the sale of ..the : water work's could

Western road did there should be a very
unanimous demand for its sale, and all
echo, the strong language used , by Sena
tor Vance in regard to the road. . .The

"The proc jeds of the water works could
then be utilized either in paying the
debts of the city or improving the side
walks, and the establishment of a public
prV';v ; i H ;s ;',- :'' Vl.
V iA& the .Adiance has urged . the utter
failuro of the present water works, we
fear "the proceeds" of a sale would not
amount to much if enough to pay the
debt on this account it might be consid
ered a good bargain, for the city. Good
financiers are not in the habit of paving
much for Worthless property. As far as
it goes, the Citizen regards the property
as worth for more to the city than it has
ever cost, but recognizing the fact that
enlargement is necessary, both in supply
of water and in extensive of service, and
assuming that the sity is not willing to
undertake this, we conclude it is better
to sell to a responsible company upon
terms which will secure the additional
service, though the city realizes no more
that its outlay therefor. The city must
be supplied with good , water, and the
shortest road to obtaining the supply
should be taken.
A Painful Accident. ;
. Yesterday afternoon, Willie, son of
Mr. II, Redwood, met with one of those
accidents bef are, so fond of courting,
and which-' they tearrt always after to
remember; He hadjsarried home from
his jfathei-'s store, an . empty . powder
keg, '- to convert into 'a 'flower' pot.
Knocking out the head, a small quantity
of powder, apparently less than a tea
spoonful, was found in the keg. Boy-like,
hereon cjuded, tQhav,e6ome.4 fauleuti of
that, without calculation of danger.
Lighting a match he thrust it into the
keg. It failed to ignite the powder, and
he lit another, and instantaneously there
was an explosion, the flame shooting up
as out, 61 a mortar, burning his arms,
breast and face; the latter very severely.
It is very much swollen and up to the
present time the eyes remain closed, so
that it is not yet possible to determine
whether the sight is injured or not. We
hope not, and think not, for we have
seen much worse cases in which the eye
escapes by - the instinctive instantane
ous closing of the lids, against threatened
danger. " v "' . : ' -
Willie bears his sufferings with great
heroism. His greatest solace is that he
will get his name in the newspapers.
We-predict that when he comes to years,
bf 'maturity he will be a great advertiser,
for he already shows his appreciation of
the power of the pi ess.
Fine Chops. .
Mr. West's statement about the mag
nificent corn and other crops in Cherokee
haB called' attention 'to some excellent
crops in Buncombe. CapL Ben Young
reports that a day or two since be visited
the farm of Col. LoBg on Swannanoa.
He says Col. Long had fifteen acres in
.watermelons; has sold over five hundred
wagon loads, and, the quantity taken' can
scarcely be missed; that on walking
through the. field it would be easy.' now
to step upon melons at every step. He

about an inch in length. The hideous

but shorter horns. . Its body is terminated
by a black incurved horn. '. The body is
divided into eight sections; over each of
which passes .a row of short black horns.
The eight feet are long, single claws.which
clasp whatever they seize with fierce te
nacity. The general color is yellowish
green, marked on the underside with short
broad diagonal bands. In addition to the
horns' and claws, the' monster is defended
by an exudation of poisonous liquid as ter
rible as vitriol. The -worm is 5 inches

KNIGHTS OF IABOR. i
Proceedings Seeret
Alliance 'with Problbitionlata ftnr
" mlsei. "
''.'i ' T - : ' Galveston, Sept. 2, j
A special to the News from Dallas says
the first convention of the Knights of
Labor of Texas met here yesterday for
the purpose of organizing a State asseni.
bly. -One hundred and four delegates
inclildihg eight Colored jpien, , were in'
attendance.';' The .'proceedings v-wcr
secret." All delegates are extremely non
cqmmumcatiYOk.emg bound bvanjpath
not to divulge anything. Much specula
tion is induged in by outsiders respecting
the prolmble coalition of the coalition of
tho Knights of Labor with ' the Prohibi
tionists. .Owing to the fact that the
Knights of Labor, throughout the State
generallly are refraining from the use of
strong drink; it is surmised that ihey ate
preparing to make overtures to the Pro
hibition party,' and especially as a numj
ber of brief interviews 6hoW that a large
majority of the delegates sympathize
with the prohibition movement which is
assuming vast proportions in this State.
Another report, current, states that seeds
are being planted for a Farmers TJniOn
with the hope of making a common.
cruisado against what is described as
"the excess of capital." . The agreement
entered into between the executiva
committee of the assembly of seventy
Knights of Labor and officers of the
Texas St. Louis Railway last Saturday
will, it is thought, bo proposed by. the
State assembly as the means of hereafter
settling strikers in Texas. It prescribes,
first, that those who have quit work by
Btrike shall be reinstated, and shall not
be discharged for any action taken by the
strikers and in regard to wages due ; but
this is not to cover intemperate, or men
off duty. That thirty days notice shall
be given to men for being discharged,
except for cause; and of increase or re
duction in- wages similar notice shall be
given. Old employees are to have pref
erence of work, jind all differences be
tween companies' and their employes
shall be settled by arbitration. The
convention will lie convened to-day,
when organization will be effected.

POTOMAC.
Two Well Known Persons
jLose Their Uvea.
.Washington, D. C, Sept. 2.
The particulars of the sad tragedy on
the Potomac last evening near the Chain
Bridgp, by which John H. Morgan, the
only 6on of Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
and Mrs. Emma Delia Stella lost their
lives are as follows: -Mr. Morgan who
is a member of the Washington Canoe
Club left the Club House about 6 o'clock, I
and going in tho Iola. a double canoe,
with Mrs. Stella, while Mrs.Stella'i njiee.
Miss Lula McCarthy, aecomwnnitd them
in a single canoe, as she - desiri-d to prac
tice paddling.' About 7:15 o'cl ck about
a quarter of a milts' i below the" Chain
Bridge the double : ennoe was capsiznl
and both occupants, Mr. Morgan and
Mrs.' Stella, were drowned. Morgan
wentdown while attempting to save his
companion, lie was a good swimmer,
but very slight physically. .Miss. Mc
Carthy, who had turned her canoe down
streaiand was some distance in advance;
happened to turn her head over . her
shoulder and saw the collapse. She saw
the two occupants in the water and heard
Morgan cry "Lula ! Lula !" before he
sank. She at once turned - about
but when she had paddled 1 to
the spot both Morgan and Mrs. Stella
had disappeared under the waters. The
canoe it appears, had struck a sunken
rock. The current at this point is very
swift, making a series of rapids; and
there are many dangerous rocks in the
water. After paddling about the fatal spot
for half an hour and more Vainly hoping
that the forms of her companions would
rise to. the surface, Mjss McCarthy, in
despair, started down tho river after
help. She had proceeded but a little
way when she met two gentlemen aud
went back with them to make another
fruitless search.. MiBS McCarthy, Dd
her two new companions then turned
again Sown stream towards Holtzmanus,
Miss McCarthy" being -now, exhausted
was taken into the other boat, at Holtz
mantis', M ibs McCarthy was cared for by
Mrs. Holtzmanus and subsequently was
taken to her home In a buggy by Mr.
Holtzmanus. Mrs. Stella was a widow
about 40 years of age, a clerk in the
general land office, and resided with her
sister Mrs. McCarthy and her neice Miss
McCarthy at 2116 G. Streets. -,. t
