Detective Deaver succeeded yesterday
in ascertaining the true history of the
baby unearthed a day or ao ago, and
which has created much excitement. It
was a premature birth, brought on by
severe illness of the mother. The foetus

buried, with no intent whatever to
conceal a birth. They are deeply mortifi

quite two hundred thousand dollars, and
a little later, directly and indirectly,
many thousands more. We w;ll be pre

grand attractions to our immediate sec

The electric light, which was

The Asheville Improvement and

Lake View Park--A Grand Ad
dition to the attractions df
our Metropolis.
We are glad to learn from Mr. E.
H. Buckman, who comes to Ashe
ville for the purpose of investing
money and greatly benfitting our
community, sjme of the plans of
the Company he represents, The
Asheville Improvemont and .Street
Railway Company. The gentlemen
composing our Asheville Company
are interested in a similar enterprise
in Birmingham (Ala ) where they
have many miles of street railway
and a most attractive park in suc
cessful operation.
The inteution here is to establish
a Park on the West side of the
French Broad, above Tuhkeoskfe
farm, land connect with Asheville
by rail, crossing the river on an iron
bridge in the vicinity of the depot.
From the depot the street railway
will probably run up the Town
Branch and up Bailey street to Pat
ton Avenue to an attractive little
station at the foot of Battery, Park.
The cars to be run on the road
are made by the Pullhnan Co. and
it is needless to say are perfect in all
their appointments. The company
has not yet decided whether to use
electric or steam motors, but the
grades in our mountain city are so
heavy that some powerful means of
propulsion are necessary. Oat at
the Park the company will spare no
pains to give the puolic every at
traction. Engineere have been over
the ground and find the location
everything that could be desired for
the purposes in view. The lake
will be over a quarter of a mile long
and several hundred yards in width,
aim ocvciai uuuuiru yuiuo in wiutu,
with boats and a boat bouse: a pa-
vilion and small hotel will be built
at once, aDd thecompany proposes
letting out contracts for a num
ber of small cottages to be erected
by the coming season. We are
gratified tonote the immediate pros
pect of filling one of Asheville's
greatest wants, a place ot amuse
ment and entertainment, where our
citizens can find recreation and our
visitors another inducement to so
journ amonst us.

A Reids ville dispatch under date
of Tuesday Bays : "One of the sad
dest accidents that has ever hnp
pened here occurred yesttrday ev
ening at 4 o'clock. Owing to the
frequent visits of chicken thieves to
his fowl-house Mr. W. V. Garner
loaded an old musket heayilywith
BB shot, and placed it in the house
with wires so arranged that any one
entering ; would cause the ' gun to
discharge. It was his custom to
connect the wires at night and to
disconnect them in the morning.
Through carelessness, however, the
trp was left set yesterday, and on
entering the house in the afternoon
Mr. Garner discharged the gun and
received the entire load in the left
foot. Drs. Courts, Balsley, Powell
and Mathews were summoned, and
upon consultation decided that the
unfortunate young man must lose
: . , s. , .
hw fooi' and accordingly it was am
putated at the instep. The patient
is doing well. Being a young man
of much popularity the occurrence
cast a gloom over our entire place.''

The summer is once more on us, and
while w mav, in our excellent climate,
reasonably hope to pass through it with
out a visitation of the frightful scourres
which are so terrible in some parts of the

these, diarrhoea or summer complaint is
most to be dreaded, f ortunately this

To Hit Votert of Atlieville :
The undersigned being of sound mind,
twenty-one years of age, and of deposing
memory, do hereby inform the public
without regard to party that he was made
a member, "by merest accident," of th
nominating convention which on the 18th
day of April, 1887, did nominate a
municipal ticket to be voted for by thi
lawful voters of the city of Asheville on
the first Monday in May next.
A word ol explanation right here may
be in place, "so here goes." -
The Advance, a daily paper published
in the city of Asheville, whose politick
some think are questionable, but 1 am of
such liberal views that 1 do not take time
to enquire who struck Billy Patterson,
but always rush to the fallen hero, eonit
time ago published a call for a mast,
meeting for the purpose of nominating a
Municipal ticket, in which call he invited
white and blackjemourat and Republi
can smarting under tbe probabilities ol
what might turn up, supposing that the
mass meeting might in its lioeral way
nominate a colored man for. Mayor or
Alderman, and knowing thatitfeuid foot
.support such nominees, I. decided that 1.
WouiifVsee the tun by edging into the
convention amst keeping periectly quiet
until i could feel WtJ.be riguts and
li'terties of the old Anglo--Saxon race
would be respected. "Agreeable UW.--
priee" when Col. Deake called the con
vention to order to find the Court House
packed fuller than I ever isaw it before
of the best and most respected citizens oi
Asheville, and as i scHiiuedtire meetinu
1 could see very clearly that the Anglos
oa(i tne uiajomy. i tnen said to mv
elbow comrade, ' tne country is safe, that
we umst go to work." You all know the
remit of tue meeting which nominated
our Mayor and Aldermen that is to serve
us the next two years.
ibis convention nominated a ticket
worthy of the ballott of every good
citizen in our town, in is ticket was
put forward by the mass meeting and not
o-y any particular partv. and 1 for one
call upon every citizen to go to the polls
next Monday and do His duty by deposit
ing his ballot for the whole ticket : and
especially do I call upon those who par
ticipateu in saia convention to stand to
tbe nominee, unless they can show eood
cauBrt why they should now desert it. If

Wulktrand A. G. llalyburton are gen
tlemen of high character and well wor
thy of your support to say nothing of
tneir Demur tne nominees or tins mass
convention. Mr. Fitsparrick has proven
his devotion to the best ' interests of
Asheville by his persistent efforts in
building up her waste places and invest
ing his surplus earnings in her internal
improvement. R. P. Walker may justly
be called one of Asheville's most devoted
sons, although he adopted this borne,
yet he made sacrifices in leaving his
beautiful city of Durham five veara ao
and cast his lot among the then rough
stones rtf a dilapidated town. Ha has
shown a warm devotion to this moun
tain city by pleading with capital all
over tho land to come to Asheville for
her produce, and in so doing he pays out
annually one hundred thousand dollars
lor tne product or tbe country. I say
this nhowa his devotion to our town, be
cause there are so many other places
that he could carry his trade to. and he
too is investing his surplus earnings in
the improvement of city property. He
is n christian gentleman and a total ab
stainer of alcoholic liquors. He is be
nevolent and charitable to a fault, and
the freemen of Asheville could not be
stow their s:ifl'raes on a more worthy
gentleman.
Mr. A. u. tiauuurton is well known to
the business men of Asheville: but to
those who may not kuow him I would
atate that he is a model business man.
well qualified to fill any position in the
gift of hie constituents. He is a niau of
very considerable ability and will dis

These three candidates win serve vou

CALHOUN,
The following is the Ode written by
Miss E. B. Cheesborougb, daughter of
Mr. John Cheesborough of this county,
and read by the Rev. Chaa. A. Stokely
t Charleston on Tuesday on the occa
sion of the unveiling of the Calhoun
monument:
When Truth looked from her starry heights
And called foi champions brave,
He heard the summons and went forth
His native South to.sav.
Her balance In his honest hands '
Fair Justice eager placed,
While Wilson, with her radiant crown,
His subtle genius graoel '
Tha Constitution was bis star,
And guided by Its light,
He strove to steer the 8hlp ef Stat
Through the darkness of the night.
' Dishonor, worse to him than death,
. He sternly kept at bay, -And,
on the whitest heights of Troth, x
Serenely too t his way. -
. Invincible in logtesern.
All potent in debate,. -.
He sent the anowa winging baflk '
.'TotueenveiwmedaetVWtv.
He oore the odl on of reproach '
While hattUng for th right; . . "
His prophet voice In c.rrfbn tenes '
Foretold the ening night
- Jfl?w,ja'u w. old set o'er fields of blood,
And stars shine o'er the same,.
When War's dread torches, hot and red,
O'er Southern homes would Same.
O, prophvt of the eagle eye I
O, patriot without stain !
Thou'st given a priceless gift to us '
In ihj untarnished name. .
For this we've sought to honor thee,
Great champion oi the Truth;
And fain would have this hallowed spot
A Mecca for our youth.
That Journeying hither they may learn
To battle for the right,
Bearing Truth's orlSamm aloft,
Undaunted in the fight.
Through all our golden Jasmine bowers,
And through magnolia's bloom,
One name we'll waft on wings of lovo,
Thy honored name, CALHOUN.
Float it above the city's spires,
And o'er the bay's blue tide.
Tell how he battled for the Sooth,
And battling thus he died.
We women ask n j brigh er fate.
We seek no loltUr fame.
Than thus to link our memories
With his immortal name.
While History weaves for hint her crown,
The fairest ever seen,
Carolina's daughters long will strive
To keep the garland green.

The enervation and lassitude of spring
time are but indications of the sluggish
action of :he blood, overloaded with car

be remedied by the use of Ayer's Sana -parilla,
