A Runaway Resulting In Sever
al Narrow Escapes.
Yesterday morning a horse at
tached to a buggy was coming
out of the yard of the Dr. Chapman
place, on Haywood street, Mrs. V.
Chapman being in the buggy
with the driver. Just as the horse
waB coming into the street '.he be
came frightened at a boy passing
with a basket of empty bottles, and
giving a sudden plunge to the right
threw the wheels on an embank
ment, upsetting the buggy and
throwing Mrs Chapman into the
street on her head,- inflicting some
painful though not severe injuries.
The horse broke loose from the
buggy with a portion of the shafts
attached to the harness and plunged
down Haywood street into Patton
Avenue, and upon reaching the lata
ter took the sidewalk up to the Pub
lic Square, at which point he leaped
over a wagon and landed on the
sidewalk in front of the court house
when he was captured. In his mad
rush down Patton Avenue several
parties made narrow escapes, the
broken shafts striking one lady in
the back, but doing no material
damage, and a baby in a 'carriage
on the sidewalk was only saved by
the nerve of the nurse who grabbed
it from thecamare and lunmed uwon
a friendly step on the sidewalk. The
affair created quite a sensation, and
the only wonder was that some one
wa s not seriously hurt, ak the street
was well failed at the time with both
vehicles and pedestrians.
The Coming Summer in Ashe
ville The Thomas Martin's
Casino Opera Company of New
York.
Our people are determined to
make the coming the moBt attrac
tive Summer ever enjoyed in Ashe
ville. Various plans are on foot
looking to this end. And now a
most important proposition is made.
Mr. Martin, representing the Thorn
as Martin's Casino Opera Company
of New York.is in the city and sub
in its a proposition which is most
layorabiy considered. It is a hne
company, presenting repertoir of
rare and popular operas, with lull
choruses. Mr. Martin proposes to
present the iollowing: Mikado,
Chimes of Normandy,. Olivette, " La
M8Cott, f mnfore, Uirana-Uirana,
Queen's Lace Handkerch'f, Erminie,
Prince Meinusalum. - The Muske
tiers.with te n others of equal merit,
making twenty in all .during . the
season !of ten weeks. The usual
price of admission to such operas is
75 cents and $1.00. Mr Martin is
soliciting subscriptions of ten dol
lars each, which will admit to
the entire twenty performances
It is desired to ascertain the
amount which can thus be se'
c ired at once to make the coming
of the company a certainty. A num
ber of rubscnptions were taken at
once, and we have no doubtenough
win be raised to secure this addi
tional attraction for our summer
season. Mr. Martin will be remeix.

making so marked a success of' the
perfotmauce of the play "Esmeral
da," for the purpose of idrscussing
the feasibility of organizing an am
ateur dramatic club. There has
been a pretty widespread expression
of opinion since "Esmeralda," that
some organization which would pro
duce at intervals throughout the
year a high order of plays, would
add very greatly . to the social at
tractions of Asheville ; hence when
a meeting of those interested was
called there was a large attendance
and plenty of enthusiasm. Mrs.
Theodore Benedict Lyman, whose
management of the "Esmeralda"
company contributed so much to
the "go" of that play, was unani
mously chosen President, Dr. S. W.
Battle Vice President, and Mr. Wil
liam Holt Ga'e Secretary and Treas
urer. A board of governors com
posed of six persons besides the
President, into whoss care the gen
eral affairs of the club shall be con
fided, was also elected. The name
chosen for the organization was "The
Saturday Club." -
We are now glad to be able to
state that the "Saturday" already
has in rehearsal H J. Byron's com

One excellent feature of the "Sat

is a rule which enables any one by

this j ear the fee has been fixed at
three dollats, in return for which
the club guarantees to give fourpub-

BUTTER MAKERS VERSUS BUT
TER EATERS THE ASHEVILLE
MARKET.
Editor Athtvdle Cititrn:
Tour eloquent appeals to the farmers
for butter, and in behalf of the suffering
people of Asheville, are very touching,
and almost calculated to set every farmer
bard at work churning. I say almott, but
not quite. . The average farmer is not a
fool, although some people appear to
think so. I'll admit he ia strongly con
servative, and perhaps alow, and over
cautious, but, where hia interests are
concerned, he is any thinir short .of a fool.
It is-all very wed for your Bill Nyes,
et id omnet genu, to come down here and
have their flings at us and our cows and
ot-r butter, but what of the butter eater t
After all, Mesara. Editors, do tbe good
neoDre of Aahevilla real want huller. or
U Mr only grease they i erytur, ?r M
mis ia not meant lor a sneer.. nave
good reasons for asking the question.
Your correspondent, "A Buncombe
Farmer," has spoken the truth in behalf
of the farmers, giving facta to su taim
him in what he says. I now propose to
band in my mite of testimony. Let us
see who is to blame for the absence of
butter in Asheville.
Two years ago I thought to engage in
butter making for the Asheville market,
but concluded it would be better to "go
Blow." In other words, before purchas
ing Jersey cows and incurring other ex
penses incidental to starting a butter
dairv, I would first try the market.
Having on hand soma very delicious but
ter, about thirty pounds over and above
what was needed for family use, of a
beautiful golden yellow and sweat as a
nut, I thought I would take it to town
and see what price it would bring. 1 his
butter would have sold raadily in New
York lor fifty cents per pound.
Weill I fried to get thirty-five cents
for it, then dropp-d to thirty. But it was
no go. I tried private citizens hrst, then
the merchants. I went'into the store of
one of the leading merchants, and offer
ed the butter. "How much ?" "Thirty
cents." "Can't give it. Can get all the
butter I want for twenty cents," pointing
as he spoke, to a pile of round balls ol
what appeared to be mutton tallow.
heaped up orThis counter in a pyramid,
like cannon balls in an Ordnance yard.
-1 called his attention to the quality of
my butter, its fragrance, and lreshness
and beautiful color, compared 'with
which his looked like death on the pale
horse. Yes, he acknowledged all this,
but said what was the use, his customers
would not pay more than twenty-five
cents; to them butter was butter, provid-
eu it was not actually rantuo. 1 took my
butter home, and en joyed it in the bosom
of my family.
1 did not purchase anv Jersey cows
then. '
One dav lat fall I heard that Ashe
ville was. a city, and was going to have
her census taken, and that it would turn
out that she" contained at least 8,000 in
habitants. Surely, thought I, now is the
time to purchase Jerseys. "
Oh I 'twould 6 pitiful
If In this whole city full,
(Idea and rhyme are Hood's.)
there should be none to ask for good but
ter. Surely, surely, they would not all
take boarders I
Eh I bien, as we say in Tirtbuctoo,
I made my arrangements; got me some
graded Jerseys, and made butter. I tried
without success to enter into agreement
with private families to Airnish them
"Gilt Edge" butter the yar round at 30
cents per pound.
Then I bethought me of the hotels. I
visited them at a most opportune time.
They were crowded ith people from the
North who were complaining about the
quality of Cinc.nnati oleomargerine, and
Buncombe oleo-broomsedge. They were
glad to get my butter, and two of them
nave taken an 1 could make during
the past winter and present spring. No
fuss about price there I I could have dis
posed of five times the quantity.
A. snort time since, while standing in
conversation with one of our leading
merchants, the same whose customers
two years ago would not pay more than
twenty five cents for butter, and to whom
"butter was butter" -a lady entered.
"Mr. , have you any butter?"
" No, Madam, I regret to say 1 have'nf
" Dear me ! What shall I do ? here I've
hunted the whole town over and can't

I bad my little laugh, far I had that.
very morning brought to town a large
lot of fine, fresh butter, which I had dis
posed of to one of the large hotels at a
price which would have made our mer
chant's easterners wince. -
Go ahead. Messrs. Editors 1 D reach
butter all you can. It does me good to
read your articles. Only only, I would
venture to suggest in the mildest manner
possible: to bint-gently, as it were, in the
most delicate way, that, for the present
at least, you stop preaching to tbe butter
maters tn posse, am turn your attention
to the batter eater tn est.
I repeat it -The farmers are not fools.
Let there be a demand for good butter,
and I warrant you it. will be forthcoming
last enough. t
I recently heard that a family at Ashe
ville new comers they are having been
getting their butter this past winter from
Philadelphia at one dollar per pound.

them in Asheville: people who appreciate

'l is a great and elonous field for mission
ary work. You will add another bright
leaf to the, chapter or lame worn so
becomingly upon your editorial brows,
can yon but succeed in teaching them
the difference between butter and
tallow.
I had intended to stop just there, but
since writing the above, have read your
additional remarks in Your issue of April
23rd You say. "Asheville is not the
only butter market; and butter makers
need not be diatnrbed because they do
not always secure hig't prices or- steady
aalea here."
That is true. 'Ve could, without
doubt, find a readyjWor all our gooc'
butter in Charleston, Columbia, Atlanta,
Aueusta and other cities South They
are. eeoicraphically. our natural markets.
But bow are we to get our butter to these
planes?

quarters, and attention. All these things
cost, but the result is jood butter.
Now I affirm, that were we to ship this
butter to any of the above mentioned
markets, at the present excessive freight
charges of our one railroad, it would be at
a dead loss to 'the shipper. Therefore,
for the present at least, Asheville is our
only market.

given the Dispatch, to the effect that the
farmers are Df Treason making the great
est possible efforts to improve their lands,
is confirmed in nil lir tt o is. The sta e
mant may be broadly made that the pre
paration of land and the are taken in
putting in crops this season have never
been equalled. As some letters put it,
"The farmers are working harder than 1
ever saw them. They are in earnest this
lime." The recent strike here may
delay the completion of the watef-works
somewhat. The date fixed was June 1st,
but the real date may be June 15th.
There has been very little talk in the
pt'St few days about the matter of drum'
triers' license. Not a great number have
been issued the present month, but they
are issued regularly and without any
hitch. As yet no test case has been made
up. The Supreme Ourt to-day took
up the calendar of racs from the
Eleventh District. This is the last oi
the district. Next week cases at the
end of the docket will be called.
Quite a number of the wives of
United States Senators have been
mentioned as possible purchasers of
the French crown diamonds. This
is only another striking illustration
of the money power in American
politics. The United States Senate
is bicoming a kind of asylum for
millionaires, and is losing a great
deal of its character as a body re
presentative of the people.

The resident corr spondent of the
Charier ton News and Courier in this
city writes that paper under date of
22d:
The Census of Asheville has
been announced. The population
amounts to 7,258. In 1880 the city
had according to the census then
taken, 2,616 souls. This shows an
increase of nearly two hundred per
cent, in less than seven years a
growth without parallel in the South.
And at no time in the history of
the place has the influx of people
been so great as today. Every
train that comes to the city seems
to bring, among its cargo of human
frieght, actual settlers for . Asheville
men with means seeking invest
ments, men with trades seeking em
ployment, men with invalid fami
lies seeking health, men of all sorts,
men from every State in the Union,
men with genuine English tongue,
men asking for beer in Teutonic ac
cents, men from Italy lugging their
musical instruments, men from the
Emerald Isle, from the little Re
public of Switzland and the big Em
pire of Russia from almost every
nationality under the sun, including
the swarthy Celestial, with his in
Hstimable cue and peculiar garb
all may be seen in the mart, on the
streets of this city, mixing, ming
ling, struggling, striving by some
means or other lo nccomplish some
end or other. Every day that pass
es leaves some mark of growth and
progress. Every variety of busi 638,
every department of trade is active
and stimulated, and the operation
of the laws of supply and demand
find here remarkable illustrations.
But Asheville, notwithstanding her
wonderful growth, her live, big bus
iness, her numerous and large real '
estate transactions rapidly follow
ing one another, is not on a boom.
This is but the steady growth of
years, brought about by the unpar
alleled surroundings which are en
joyed by tbis metropolis of the Sky.
l here is nothing ephemeral in tins
instance of the town's growth, but
it has been so steady and long con
tinued as to insure permanency and
perpetuity.
