Mr. S. C. Liner, the foreman on the
College building improvements, deserves

There seems to be an unusual preval
ence of enteric complaints through the
whole State, affecting all ages, from in
fancy to old-aga. Beyond the inn intaiits i
the fatality in some sections has been
distressing.' The causes seem to be at
mospheric, and not imprudence in diet,
or even capriciousness of weather. It
might be inferred that this epidemic, as
it may be called, is the forerunner of the
Asiatic Cholera. But u is assuring to
know that the mountains of North Car
olina will be exempt from the scourge,
and if past experience is a guidc, the
wbole btate will escape; tor at no period
has the scourge ever visited North Caro
lina. What it might do in the coast
towns, under changed conditions of
population , remains to be seen.

Ho! for Highlands.
A gentleman from Charleston, S. C,
called on us yesterday to obtain in'orma-
tion as to the best method of reaching
Highlands, in Macon county. As thatis
an attractive place, well calculated to in
terest the tonrist, we suggest some infor
mation which may be of use, though
giving it somewhat in the dark.
Leaving here at half past 7 a. m., on
the Murphy Division of the W. N. C. R.
It., the traveler reaches Sylva, 47 miles,
or Webster Station, 50 miles, about 11.30
a. iu. At either of these places convey
ances may, or ought to, be had every
day in the week, leaving Sylva or Web
ster Station not much after 12 m., bo
that Highlands can be reached by night.
We would suggest to tbe livery men
the good policy cf advertising their fa

the above suggestions at the risk of mis
leading the public.

the dog by general legislation: The
puppy, hound, and cur of lo.w degrvj'all
haVe friends raised to them. The Con
stitution is invoked to preserve the fox-
hunter his paci of houndH, or the darkey
bis humble coon dog; and even the regis
is extended over the prick eared cur,

nothing else. And in the crowd of "pro

If the assembled wisdom of the state
will not give relief, whv cannot the coun
ties try to protect their own people?
Some will want it; some will not; and,
because all uo not, the Legislature will
not act. This is just tbe case with pro
hibition. Some counties have a local
option, and the sale of liquor is controll
ed. Others do not, and the sale of liquor
is undisturbed.
Now, this is a f-ort of analogous case.
If liquor can bn declared a nuisance, and
its sale be prohibited by single counties,
so bv the same authorities may the dog
nu:sancc be abated. Let us try it, or see
if it can or cannot be done: tout please let
no smart Aleck raise a constitutional
question.
Iiecki.ksb Driving.
The running over a lady in the public
square on Tuesdav by a reckless driver
is not more the fault of tho driver than
neglect to enforce ordinances already in
existence. We do not know what punish
ment was inflicted in this case; but there
is no place in the State, or elsewhere,
where there is such constant necessity for
rigid enforcement of tbe ordinances. The
streetb are narrow, the turns sudden;
and there is a constant throng moving
in opposite directions, or moving parallel
in reckless rivalry; throngs of drays,
wagons, busses, backs, pleasure vehicles,
horsemen; and, among these crossing
from one side to the other, pedestrians,
men, ladies, children. All these either
depend upon the carefulness of drivers
or riders, upon the watchfulness or the
city guardians; or they are thrown on hetir
own responsibilities. They aro unde
no need to do this, if the laws are en
forced. If they are not enforced, then
an inexcusable admission of negligent
is made. The spectacles of rapid drivinsr
or of heedless riding is appalling in view
of the number oi ladies and children on
the streets, where they have a right to
be in the pursuit or enjoyment of health
These are entitled to especial guardian
ship of the laws.
We call upon the police to make
arrests for every violation of the ordin
ances in this respect; and we feel assur
ed that the Mayor will inflict penalties
to the extent of the law.
And let it be understood that stranaers
violating the law are as amenable t j it
as citizens. No one can plead guilty to
ignorance of that which appeals alike to
common sense and to humanity, the
public safety every where is a binding
obligation on all.
The Ciikpisteu Building,
Going up opposite to the Grand Cen
tral, and not far from our office, has lifted
itself op rapidly within the past week,
and is' conspicuous enough to attract
attention. Yesterday we had the satis
faction of seeing the plans prepared by
Mr. A. L. Melton, tbe architect, under
whose lupcrvision the building is being
erected. Securing Mr. Melton, Mr. Ghed-
ister secured a man competent as an
architect, and one who knows well how
to apply the rules of good taste to those
of architecture. This is well illustrated
in the plans before us, and in the build
ing so far as work has gone, and it is to
be presumed there will be no departure
from the plans submitted ana adopted.
The structure promises to be one ot the
finest in the city.
It front- on fatton Ayenue ou ie,t,
and runs back 75 feet, the east fronting
on Stafford street. There is a high, well
lighted and usefully applied basement,
and then the building rises three stories,
and is surmounted by a mansard story.
The first story will contain 'two stores,
separated by a i road hall, running to the
rear, and in which are tne stair cases
leading to the floor above. The front of
this story is iron and glass, and comes
fairly under the designation ol an "open
front." The stories above are divided
into parlors, chambers and offices, all
well lit and ventilated. The windows
on the second floor are what are known
as segment indows; those on the third
and in the mansard are arched, aud are
all trimmed with galvanized iron. Tbe
mansard is to be covered with plate. The
front of tho building will be pressed
brick aud iron.
Aa iron balcony encloses the second
story on the north and east. . A tower,
01 feet and 10 inchts faieh. stands at the
corner on Patton Avenue and Stafford
streets, high and large enough to attract
as a fine point of observation
On the whole, the structure will prove
pne of the c lief ornaments of tbe streets,
and win prove as useiui as ornamental,
A whisker dye mnst be convenient to
use, easy to apply, impossible to rub off,
elegant in appearance, and cheap in

Speculators A Panic Threatened,
.But,;WiIl Passw. . r
(By te.egrapu to the Asheville Citizen.
Chicag.. June 15. I here were
manv anxious commission men in
the vicinity of the Board of Trade
lastumht. Their offices were lighted
and they and their clerks worked at
their books until long after mid
nicrht. Ihe Biirht presented in the
neighborhood was unusual as every
office building was lighted from top
to bottom. Even a casual observer
would have suspected something
wrong. There was no trouble in
finding commission men who had
been cansht in the great break of
a few hours before, and less trouble
in prevailing upon them to talk.
The universal opinion was that
everything hinged upon Kershaw's
ability to meet the demands for
margins, and that unless he did so,
his failure would carry down from
thirty to fifty houses. There were
some few who thought that Armour
& Hutchinson and two or three of
the other "bigoueB" would come
forward this morning and help to
Bustain the market so that a verita
ble panic could be averted; but even
they claimed that a great deal de
pended on Mr. Kershaw. What
lortunoa were lost and won during
the day none can accurately esti
mate. It is estimated that not less
than 100,000,000 bushels were trad
ed in during the day, representing
an uverago loss or cain of seven to
eight cents per bushel or $7,000,000
to $8,000,000. There was a loss of
over $1,600,000 in cash in wheat
alone, besides the shrinkage on
futures. One bear who sold largely
in' the early part of the ,"day and
bought ut the close i credited with
clearing $250,000 on the day's oper
ation. A crowd of big bear scalpers
made not less than $1,000,000 alto
gether during the day. President
Wright of the Board of Trade said
to a reporter: "The effect of the break
will be to clear atmosphere bo cam"
merce can go on in its accustomed
grooves. The tendency is to equal
ize this with the other markets of
the world and put stocks in their
legitimate channels. The actual
result of course, is rather a serious
one, but 1 hope, in fact, I have no
reason to apprehend anything fur
ther." A prominent broker said:
'The market ii now back in its nor-
mall condition and not subject to
abnormal influence. I don't think
we will have any more cliques for a
while. One has bitten off more than
it could chew, and the lesson wont
be forgotten soon. As a mtter of
course, it is a serious case, but it
will soon be all right again. The
deal was undoubtedly the largest
one tver run in Chicago. Theie
was more wheat bought than ever
before. I do not apprehend any
serious break from the present
nrices. as the market is now down
to level with other markets." P. D.
Armour, when asked what the ef
fect of the financial affairs, said :
"None whatever. In a week from
now no one will know there
was a wheat Ideal or a coffee
one either. The atmosphere will
be closed up in less than a week
from now. All losses were made
some time ago. Wheat was mar
gined up to nearlv its value, if not

break in wheat -at 75 cents per

want the stuff and they are going to
have it. It is a good thing this
break came when it did. Most every
body expected it, and as soon as the
flurry is over I believe that it will
make money easier."
Exciting Day in Chicago.
Br Ulegr iph to tne Asheville Cltlsen.1
Chicago. June 15th. There was
an enormous crowd on the floor and
in the naileries of the Board of
Trade long before the opening hour
this morning. When the bell sound
ed at 9:30 a roar went up and the
day's session began The first sales
of wheat were at 75 cents for June
and 76 cents for July, which was an
advance of t and t respectively
Soon after the opening President
Wright announced the suspension
of three email firms, namely : J.
II. Youit & Co., B. J. McCleary and
8. C. Orr. The suspensions oi these
