Hell's Half Acre will soon exist only in offensive memory. The foul stain on humanity and reproach to municipal indolence is beintr removed. The place is still there, and the odor of its offense a "damned spot that will not out;" but its denizens are gore or going; and the winus of desolation brood over it. But it no longer exists tf insult decency. Mr. Richard H. Smith, of Halifax county, called to see us yesterday, the wholn Citizen corps beini: old friends of his. lie is here, under appointment as one of a committee on the affairs of the Ravenscroft school, and hopes to see it soon put on a solid foundation both as a Theological Institution, and as a High School for boys.

A large tent was spread and other para phernulia representing a complete gipsy encampment ; and there, with the beau tiful scenery and surroundings, with the very watchful, not to say fatherly atten tion of Mr. Raw 1b, rendered the evening a most memorable one to the large gath ering of little ones. The little Misses in whose compliment the affair was gotten up, were entirely "at home" to all the guests, and did much, and a great deal it was too, to render the occasion most pleasant, Mr. Rawls has certainly found the way to the hearts of the little folk. - - The Buncomiib Riflemen a Reunion Suggested.

State Tr&dpp, and took part in the first battle of the war, at Big Bethel. - It is now suggested that the survivors of this company' hold a re union in Asheville at an early date. We hope steps to this end will be taken at once. Let "the boys" once - more get together, and revive the memories of times that tried men's sours. What say Capt McDowell and the other survivors?

The officers in charge turned on the water from the Swannanoa Wednesday with full hopes, but afN ter running into the reservoir for awhile, adding about one and one half feet to the quantity already in the old reservoir, a section of pipe near the Swannanoa river burst, which suspended operators. An other one took its place yesterday. and the current in our direction will start again this morning. We hope it will succeed this time and remain a success, for we can truly say, in the language of the poet, we are powerfully behind on water. It was not watered in those Days. Brof Carter of our neighbor the Baptist, after referring to the recent changes in the management and ownership of the Biblical Recorder, a Ids : "Th Recorder was our sainted mother's next reading matter to her Bible, and we were fed on it, .when a child, as a babe from a bottle of milk. We trust it will still be a rich pabulum to all in the word and work of our Lord's cause." The Monroe Madison Tragedy. The interest attached to the myster ious death of the young Virginia teacher on Pigeon River on the last of March, 1886, has never quite died away. All the efforts to find solution for the motives or the mode of death after the most pains taking investigation were baffled, and the conclusion never seems to have been positively reached whether it was mur der or suicide. Recently a party who was more active ly engaged in the investigation of the circumstances attending the death than any one else, received a letter from a man in a distant part or the State professing to be well informed of the facts, and stating positively that Prof. Madison was murdered, and that be knew the murder er and where he now is. The gentleman referred to addressed a letter, to this professed informer, propounding a series of queries, and asking replies seriatim and specifically. To this letter, an answer has been received in which start una replies have been made to all questions except three. On these however, hinge the questions of fact pertinent to the truth of the whole statement A request has been made for response to these; and until these are answered, we reserve comment A painful and deeply inter esting question lias again been opened, the issue of which we wait with great anxiety.

Berlin, r July 14. A German resident of Car.dry department of Nord. France, writes to the Mann heim Journal that the anti-German feeling in Caudry is terrible, and that he and other . Germans lrd narrowly escaped being killed. He and his countrymen were insulted in the streets . daily, and it was hardly safe to ! venture out. He would be obliged to move to St. Pierre as he had no hopes that persecution would cease. The Kreuz Zeitung referring to this letter says it is intolerable that Germans should endorse such treatment. "France," if says, "must be made to under stand that there is a "thus far and no farther in" the matter." - The Deusch Lagblatt publishes in prom inent position a number of verses reminding France that the German hand rests upon the sword. , . Jacob Sharp Sentenced Somewhat Touching Scenes. v - By telegraph to the Asheville Citizen. Nvw York. Julv 14. The clock-was-, indicating exactly th hour of 12 when ".Sharp was,al- mnat carried in the court room. His suffering wife and son were close be hind him, and deepiines oi wearir hess and sorrow, overspread -their faces as thev seated themselves be side the convicted man, and fanned his livid face without bringing any thing like semblance of color, back to it. His grand-son tock the same seat he occupi9d during the long trial; and lawyers Nehon, Stickney and Parsons seated themselves on the right of their client, opposite his wife and relatives. 'Sharp sat with clasped hands and bowed head at the foot of the Table facing the bench. His face, almost buried in his che6fr became flushed" and sick ly looking under the riviled gnz- of all persons who were silently star- ing at the convicted railroad king. Mr. Sharp, and rest of his family like the prisoner himself were silent; the excitement was becoming quite ieverisn, wnen a sudden hush came over the room as three raps on the door announced the entrance of Judge Barrett at exactly 12:15; after calling the court to order, Mr. Mar tine got up and stated that as he heard the deience had somo remarks to make that he wished to hear them. Mr. Mitchell responded say ing that he had no application to put in-for delay, but would move for a new trial, and wished the ste nographer to maka a note of the fact. Judge Barrett said that if the document contained nothing new. he would deny the application for a new trial. Mr. Mitchell then stated that the trial was unfair, and in several ways the jury was prejudice ed against his client and gave an unfair verdict; moreoyer the Judge's charge was an unjust one. -Several other .points were raised, but of the sterotyped variety. Judge Barrett stated that the motion would prop erly be denied. District Attorney Mar tine then stood up to move the Court sentence the prisioner; he considered it his duty to ask the court to appoint physicians to look into the prisoners condition of health, and read some certificates' from doctors Allen Mc C. Hamii ton and Janeway to the effect that the prisoner's health was very bad and that he was suffering from dia betep.inflamation of the kidneys and organic disease of the heart which were of serious impprt to a man of his years. He then read Doc tor Hamilton's report on tie condition of Sing Sing and the arrangements of the care of the sick, which he said were of most excel lent character all around, and the f lace was most healthy situatea. n view of these tacts, concluded Mr. Martine, there is nothing left for me to do but move for the sen tence of prisoner. Mr. Mitchell then stood nip to make the last appeal for the defense. He said he did not wish to' delay the court, but would ask the Judge to temper justice with mercy. Judge Barrett then proceeded to deliver the sentence, he said that he had never perform ed so delicate a task in his whole professional career. At 1:6 p. m. Jacob Sharp was sentenced to 4 years imprisonment and to pay a tine of $5,000. :o: Fatal Fall lu Columbia, S. C. (By telegraph to the Asheville CiUzen.) Columbia, July 14 th.
