Narrow Escape from Drowning a Thrilling Scene. Dr. Wells, of Haywood, gives us an account of a most thrilling affair which happened at Clyae s on indav last, resulting in a narrow escape from drown ing of three parties. Mr. Jno. Hyatt, of Waynes ville, and Misses Teague and Ro berts, of Haywood, had been in attend ance upon tbe Teachers' Institute at Clyde s, and in the aiternoon got . into a boat above Killian's mill-dam on the Pigeon river. The river had fallen to a point supposed not to be dangerous. Un fortunately the boat got too close to the dam, and the occupants losing control of it, the boat and the young man and the two ladies were swept over the dam inte-l the .whirling pool sixteen feet below, from which they were rescued only by the n-ost heroic exertions of several par ties who were standing at the mill. A yonng man named Hanna, of Catalooche. displayed a most commendable heroism, and to his efforts are the parties mainly due for their e6Ctpe from drowning. The young ladies throughout display ed remarkable coolness. . Certify ' Having used Pelham's Blackberbt Balsam on two occasions for derange ment of bowels and found instant relief from it.

A Bad Affair- A Shootixg Which Ma y-Result fit Death.;' About one o'clock Sunday morn ing p difficulty occurred in this city on Patton Aveutfe, at the intersec tion of Bailev , street with 'the Ave nue, which .ended iri cutting and shooting, -and uay end in the death of one of the ptiTticipanfs. It "seems that-Jeff Gainey, a ne gro, who has been em ployed .about the Buncombe Warehouse,- walked upon the street, to visit an eating house. He waquite druuk. How he came in contact with other par ties we have not been able to ascer tain; but, the ntvxt thing.beard, was that he -complV.jried of having been cut badly, and. Ta inted to two men, Messrs. Geo. Cusg and William Cbwiin, ashaving : cut him, and called for help to "arrest them. An other colored man ran -out and ap proached the men to arrest them, while Gainey was yelling lor the po lice. Gainey pointed out Mr. Cowan as having done the cutting, , and when he -was approached by the negro said he had not done it, but that if he. Gainey, was cut, it was done by Caverness. Gai ney walked up to Cayeiness ana took hold of him, at the same time yelling for the police. As lie caught hold of him, a pistol shot was fired, and Gainey Joosed his hold, and staggered to where Mr. Cowan and the other party were standing, on Bailey street, saying he was shot and killed. Caverness immediately left, and has not been seen by the authorities since: Gainey went up to Ccn and finally fell over on his back. About this time officers Smith and McDowell ai rived and arrested Mr. Cowan, but search, so far. has not revealed Mr. Cavernes3. The negro. Gainey was shot in the stomach, and baddly cut. An other negro who saw the skirmish, said that the man who Gainey had hold of, and, who evidently did the shooting, did the cutting. At this writing Gainey is in a very critical condition and ' physicians say he cannot live. He is reported to be a very bad impudent, notorious, dangerous negro; has had several very bad difficulties here lately, is drinking often at,d when drunk very offensive. .He is from Aiken S. C.

This, the cutting of Cav erness and his motive for shooting remain yet to be-established. later. Gainey died yesterday evening at the hospital, whence he was taken and received every care. There being no-doubt that h.s death was caused by the pistol shot, no coroner's inquest was deemed nec essary. His remains were taken last night to Aiken, S.

Messrs Editors : In a recent is sue of the Citizen there appeared a timely local editorial on the subject ot the extension of an invitation to President Cleveland to visit this city while on his Dronosed fall tonr. It is a matter of great surprise that me sugge&tion has not awakened a wider interest. It is useless to sugi gest the prominence and advantage which would be given Asheville by a presidential visit. Everyone who has any regard for the welfare of the city, it seems, should be anxious that the chief executive of this county should see this place one of the remarkable illustrations of recent city growth in the South. Such Ji yi3it-. might -hv8 no little bearing on -the question whether Asheville gets a' public building or not. Why Raleigh. Lynchburs and other towns along the President's route home have invited him. The Raleigh NewObsa-ver houes that all other towns in the State will ioin T . 1 1 . -v . , . ttaieign in inviting the President to the capital of the State. Possiblv those who object to Mr. Cleveland's visit here might 'be willing to at tend a meeting which would have for its object the invitation to the President to visit Raleigh. It would seem that some kind oi a meeting would do credit to the place, and the passage of some sort of resolution seems nov a necessity unless the place wishes to rest under'a suspicion of sleepinesi and absolute lack of enterprise and a disinclination to have the President come.

Stoddard, where his young wife was held im prisoned by her father, ;.nd after a siiarn brush succeeded in recaptur- e girl'. Eiroti is ouiu of la. 6on ot a substantial far- For a vear he has been en amored of Miss Lucy Stoddard, the fourteen-year-old daughter of a well known contractor of this place. Mr. Stoddard objected to Elrod as a son-'in-law and forbade him the house. The lovers met in se cret and planned a runaway mar riage, which was performed by Rev. Mr. Zimmerman. Mr. Stoddard, as soon as he heard of it, sued- out a warrant against Elrod for abduc tion, disturbing the nuptial cham ber of midnight by sending Elrod therefrom to jail and taking the young bride home, where she was held under lock and key. Elrod was bailed out, and at once organ ized his friends and proc tded to Stoddard's house, intent on bloody work if necessary. The guards there showed fight, but no appeal to lire arnif was made. While on s party engnged Stodd rd and his iriends in consultation another party i-tole into the housf through the back door, secured the girl, and lied un der several parting shots from the discomfited guards.

As the coming of a great sloi in is her alded by the display of cautionary sign als, so is the approach of that dread and fatal disease, Consumption ol the Lungs, usually announced in advanie hy pimp les blotches, eruptions, ulcers', glandular swellings, and kindred outward manifesta tions of the internal blood poison, which, if not promptly expelledfrom tho system. attacks the delicate tissues of the lungs, causing thew to ulcerate and break down.
