The Salisbury tnin was three hours late last night. Nothing of importance transpired in court yesterday. The Asheville Club is considering the question of buying or erecting a club iiouse ot its own. The wind yesterday succeeded in kicking up a dust, which was not altogether pleasant. The-Fletcher House at Hendersonville has been reopened under the manage ment of Mr. A. E. Fletcher and Mrs. A. A. Banks. The lengthening of, the days and the advancement of the schedule gives us the train irom Salisbury long before dark. The supper house is now at Hot Springs One who has tested the matter, says salt as a tooth powder is better than al most anything that can be bought. It keeps the teeth brilliantly white and the gums bard and rosy. Poems on gentle spring are now in order, :;ut they must be meritorious. We desire no more like that beginning : "Come gentle spring; thy blossoms waft; Lik9 two boys, floating upon a rickety raft" Dr. Will Baird and his brothers Tom and Joe, from MissLoippi arriv ed here yesterday to attend the funei- al services of their nolht r TJrs. Eliza Baird. If there be any school girls in Ashe ville who indulge in the habit of chewing gum we would advise tbat they at once abandon the practice. A maiden in Massachusetts has lost control of her jaw as a result of the pernicious habit. A question easily answered: "Which causes the most young men to attend E reaching, the bell of the church or the ellcofthe neighborhood?" The latter of course, which while she does not make so much noise causes more bustle. Judge James H. Merrimon is at home this week, direct from holding court in Martin. He vill hold court next week in Pitt. He looks as if the tench does not disagree with him. The young people, espec ally the young lady visitors, return from their rambles among the bills delighted with their treasures of trailing arbutus, pink or white, and fragrant. It is now in full bloom, it month earlier than usual. This is equally the ornament of the Western mountains and the Eastern pine barrens. The Hendersonville Timet of the 15th says: The three Face boys and W. R. Turner, arrested, at Saluda last week, charged with the killing of u. S. Deputy Marshal b print's, bad a hearing before a Commissioner on .Tuesday, and were dis charged, there being no evidence to con vict. Mr. W. A. Smith, of this place, appeared for the defendants. We had the pleasure yestererday of a call from Col. Summerville, Superintendent of the telegraph de partment of the New York Pres9 Association, who has been in Ashe" rille for the past month. He will return borne on bat urday, teei ng much improved in health bfhis stay in our midst.

The funeral will take place this afternoon at 3 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. Mr. Myers, and the burial will take place at the Ashevnle Cemetery.. Mr?.

There have recently b3en erected in this place two buildings which will not only pass the .most rigid ' scrutiny .of building Inspectionbos- are modal -of architectural beauty,-in relation to their purpose, and the elegance and good taste" of their ornamentation and eq iipment These are the Reynolds building and the Connally building, both on Pattou Av enue, on the old Hugh Johnston property, near the Court House square, and oc cupying the site of his garden lot at a period so recent that tbe flowering shrub berry and fruit trees ttS.t overhung the fence are still fresh in the memory of citizens not old to Asheville. The first of these, because work on' it was begun first, is the Reynolds Building, erected by Mr. W. T. Reynolds, now clerk of Buncombe Superior Court. The buildme is built of brick, is three stories high, with a depth of 144 feet and a width of 30. An additional story is secured in the rear, above ground, by the slope of the surface. The front of the firrt story is supported on iron col umns with iron archways supporting the work above. There is "a deep recess in front which while adding to architectural effect is made subservient to throwing light into the basement beneath through a flooring of bull's e e glass. This front is open as the air, xt p pare nil y, for it is tilled in with French glass, each pane reaching from floor to ceiling. The cor nice is crowned with handsome work in zinc; and the whole front is command ing and noble in effect. The first floor is already occupied by the firm of Reynolds, Baird & Co., the members of the firm being Messrs. F. S. H. Reynolds, I. C. Baird and Dan'l Reynolds, The store is 144 leet long, 28 feet wide with a pitch of J16 feet, with abundant light from front and rear. The business is divided between dry goods, shoes, clothing, &c , which occupies the right band side of the store, i be left is given up to family groceries, which this house keeps in ample supply and ot the finest qaality. The most uneducated eye will recognize this superiority. Coffees, su gars, pickles, preserves ca ined goods, spices, everything -which -conduces to the perfect snioyment of the table is here to be had, and the alter dinner lux ury of a good cigar is not wanting. This firm makes a specialty in flour; and no where are better brand to be had. We refer only to a few items because the firm wi'l speak for themselves, our pur pose being simply to direct attention to a large and supeiior stock, and to the fine judgment which has governed the arrangements to bring them to the no tice of customers. We omitted to mention that the build ing was designed by Bruce and Rogers, of Atlanta, but was erected mainly under the superyision of the Reynolds broth- ers. The Connally Building Is next to the Reynolds building. It is 88 feet deep by 48 in width, and thr e stories high. The exterior when fully complete will be very ornate. The front of the lower storv suoDorted bv lisht iron columns is a splendid specimen of the open front. It is filled through the whole width and height with huge plates of k rencb glass so lightly divided as to seem but a single light. The arrange ment of these lights is somewhat unique, the windows retreating on either side, in deep recess, at the end of which is the large entrance doors, 'the flanks inside boing utilized in the displays ef splendid show windows. The windows of the upper stories are arched, to be crowned with nch terra cotta mouldings from the Atlanta terra cotta works, and the gable is ornamented with handsome zinc mouldings. Redwood Is now moving into the store, one of the finest in North Carolina. It occupies the length and breadth of the floor. It is divided into two compartments, the partition extending a little more than halfway to th ceiling. This divides the business without impairing the effect. The left side of the partition is devoted to ladies' goods, the other to gentlemen's wear, clothing, underwear boots, shoes, He. lhe arrangements for display of gooda are perfect. The cashier a room is an octa gonal structure, near the front of - the store, at the junction of the partitions. Besides the tront and rear iignts, ad vantage is derived from an effective, in-i Uf the other part, of the building we cannot speak at present. The whole was constructed under the supervision of Mr 1. uorenno, and is bighly honorable to his professional skill aud judgment. A man dropped into the o flic 3 ot the Oneida (N. Y) Dispatch the other day and offered to subscribe for two years in advance 11 the proprietor would take his pay in dogs.

Freight Noticb- Tho Inter State Comuierce bill is a fixed-fact, and wa9 promptly recognized as such by rail road authorities all over the United Sta'ea. In the relatively brief interval between the passage of the bill and the time when it is to go into effect 'April 5th energy has been taxed to the utmost to accommodate the old to the new. Old freight rates are things of the past, and in making vp the new, with the terrors of the Commission be fore theui, the authorities must keep constantly before them the terrors of the warning, cave ne tiiubes. From a general notice issued from the office of the General Freight Azent of the Richmond and Danville system at Washington, shippers are informed that Mints and special ra es now in ellect will will be withdrawn before April 5th, and new tariffs in accordance with the re quirements of the law will bo issued as soon as practicable. And notice is given that all existing contracts, tariff' rates and tpeciai rates tor the transportation of all classes of freight over the roads of this system will terminate April 4th, 1S87. Another Frightful Accident. We give a brief account of anoth er accident similar to the one which occurred not long eince at White lliver, Vermont. In the last acci- dait the lost 0 1'fe appears to- have been greater than in the first, twen ty seven dead bodies having already been idenutieu, and live remaining in the Morgue unidentified. A large number are dreadfully wounded; and from them the list of mortality win be increased. The accident occurred on a heavK lv loaded passenger on the branch of the Boston and Providence rail 1 1 11 A.I roau, at an eary nour 01 the morn ing 01 the 14th. lhe passer gers were largely composed of working people on the way to their daily oc cupations in the factories and else where. The train was coming from ' JJeaham, and broke through what is known as Bussy Park bridge. The engine and three cars went over safely, but five cars broke through the bridge and were hurled to the ground 30 feet below. The accident is ascribed to the defective structure of the bridga, which was a compara tively new one. One of the wrecked cars took fire, but a chemical engine horn Ko8lindale, a village near by, was quickly on the spot, and avert td the additional horror ot burning alive the wounded and the unhuit. It is stated that every person in the smoker, which was crowded, was either killed or badly injured. IJesides the kihed, there were fii- ty or more injuied, some fatally. The Engineering News, in the co.irse of a long article on the sub stitution of steam heat for stove heat in railway cars, shows that no more than Irorn 21 todi per cent, of .the locomotive's supply of steam is re quired for heating the average train. it adds that this quantity y can be obtained without reducing the load, increasing the heating surface, de creasing the speed, or decreasing the loss by radiation. It is only neces sary to push the fires a little when the locomotive is on a level or down a grade, and to use steam that can be spared while the train is resting at stations.

For the crop year the receipts are 131,181 bales up to Mi.ch 12; at the same time last ye.- the receipts were 83,507, show ing "an increase so far for the season of 37,074 bales. A friend writes to the Slar from Fayetteville as follows : "I am in lhe New Town. I'he Short Cut has changed things much. Fine buildings have been erected, a $60,000 hotel is in progress, and it will be an imposing structure. The people here are surprised at the Wilmingtoniansparleyingso much about the C. F. & Y. V. R. li. All say that it is the hope of Wilmington." Comfort is Swearing. A coun try parson, in encountering a 6torm the past season in a voyage across the Atlantic, was reminded" of the following : A clergyman was so unfortunate as to be caught in a severe storm in the voyage out. The water was ex ceedingly rough, and the ship per sistently buried her nose in the sea. The rolling was constant, and at last the good man ."got thoroughly frightened. He believed they were destined for a watery grave. He asked the captain if he could not have prayers. The captain took him by the a.mi and led him down to the forecastle, where the tars were singing and swearing. 'There'" said he, "when you hear them swearing you may know there is no danger " He went back feeling better ; but the storm increased his alarm. Dis consolate and unassisted, he man aged to stagger to the forecastle again. The mariners were swearing as ever. "Mary," he said, as he crawled into his berth, to his sym pathetic wife, after tacking across a wet deck," "Mary," thank God they're swearing yet." The Martha's Vineyard Herald some time ago published a thrilling story of a sailor's fall from aloft into a rough sea and Ins hnal rescue, An old salt called in to see the Htrakl editor soon lifter and told the following "o'er true" tale : "I was in the good ship Surprise crossing the Western Ocean. A spanking breeze was driving the ship home at a nrofct lively ratf, everything draw ing alow and aloft, when the pain ful cry, 'man overboard.' started the entire ship's company. The captain came on dtck, and looking over the taffrail at the rapidlv receding ob ject and then observing tho good speed the ship was making, said in a pious voice: roor lei ow. uoa help turn : I m sorry tor him, out we . . . . ... . mpst take advantage of this breeze in tne interes of the owners.'

A gentleman recently returned to New York had full experience of the catastrophe, and furnishes details to the Herald, from which we make the following extract : .The night was filled with revelry. Balls wera held all over the city, but there were 20,000 people at the one great ball of the night.. "I went to the ball, and it was very late when I reached home," said Col. Tone. "J, was quartered :on the third floor of the Grand Hotel. Though it, was jaearly daylight P-jJd : nc sleep, and so lay. in .bed reading a book. Suddenly , and without warning a roar more terrific' came. A thousand mines seemed explod ing under the floor and a thousand trains of cars seemed, rolling over the roof. The Boise was indescriba ble. It seemed as i f the world was being ground to pieces and the city witlt. The first shock threw me into the middle of the floor, which 'pd tin liV th rr .r i houco trli'i ,-...1 a, .... ,k ..o .. he:.dio:.g :n i .i Uiu rooai: j.1i-. rolled from side to side, and I went after it. I was shaken as a strong man shakes a boy. As soon as I could master myself I managed by a great eltort to reach the door eadmg into Mr. Burke s room ad jiniug. It was J locked, .
