The Johnston property which will be sold at auction on the 17th is the only centrally located business lots which have a splendid front and rear entrance. As auctioneer E. Ij.

We would like to know from those competent to give the information the number of brick made here thip season. 15 rick have come largely into use as build ins material in the central part of the city, and even in the suburbs large and costly brick dwellings are being erected, so that the manufacture of the material must be very large.

The Bazar Closed last night with one of the largest and most enthusiastic audi ences of the season. It ha3 certainly been a grand success, in all respects, and reflects the highest credit upon the managers, and likewise upon the liberality of the people who have attended and patronized it. Capt. Atkinson returned from the Farmers' Encampment at Mt. Hol ly yesterday, perfectly delighted with his trip and with the meeting. Says it was the best meeting of farmers he ever Raw. lhe Char lotte Chronicle thus refers to Captain A. and his exhibit : "We must not omit our energetic friend Capt. Nat Atkinson, ot Asheville, who brought from the "land of the sky" the finest display of cereals and grasses that were ever shown in this or any other American State. If there is a spot in the world outside cf this glorious Piedmont region of North Carolina, that can excell that dis play, it keeps itself out of notice, or no one ha3 discovered it. Capt. At kinson's adress was a fitting coun terpart to his display. His enthu siasm about the French Broad and its tributaries in Buncombe county mountains", delighted his audience, yet everyone who heard him and saw his exhibits, say Mecklenburg could beat him at his own game whenever they so choose."

THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT Full and Harrowing Details Given By Eye Wit nesses. WHAT THE RAILROAD AUr TIIORITIES SAY. POSSIBILITY OF THE BRIDGE n HAVING BEEN SET ON FIRE BY ROBBERS. ing- Particulars of the Terrible Railroad Accident. (Dy tclgraph to the Asheville Citizen.) Cuicago, Aug. 12. A dispatch from Forrest, 111., says : "The news of the railroad disaster arrived at Chatsworth about forty minutes aft er its occurrence. The peaceable residents of the little town were sud denly awakened by an alarm which was rung simultaneously from ' all the alarm boxes in town. After a few minutes everybody was on his or her feet, and people were run ning through tle street"? from all di rections, all inquiring where the fire was. When the real facts weie learned another alarm followed, which was soon vigorously re echi oed by the bells of all the churches of town. The people made a rush for the road to Piper City. Doctor Vaughan, of Chatsworth, was almost the first to appear at the scene of the wreck. He was seen by a re porter and tojd briefly what he saw: 'When I arrived I found there great confusion,' he said.' 'Hell itsell could not present a more horrible picture ; men and women fighting with death and ready to clutch at a straw to be saved. One man beld his dead wife and dead little child in his arms, while his own feet were broken and caught in the wreck. I relieved the unfortunate man of his burden, and helped to drag him out and bring him to a sleeper. One of the gteatest misfortunesjwasthe fact that the wreck took place almost in a desert. It was impossible to ac cor I the wounded sufficient assist-1 ane j. There were no ambulances '.r.iis to carry them on: thev wutu urnggeu anu pusneu, ana tnis ac counts for lhe great number of peo ple who succumbed to their wounds.' " Fire Marshal Henry H. Game, of Chatsworth, says he was the first to arrive at the scene. "I had no time to observe anything that transpired around me," he said. "Myself and my entire force were working like beavers all the time, and in course of half an hour we had thirty-three people, killed and wounded, dragged out of the debris. Four cars were standing on the track, and the only thing I knew about them is that I carried the wounded men and wo men there." The work of identifying the dead is going on more rapidly now, and will probably be completed to-day. .1 .!." 1 T 1 . 1 A special to the Times from For est, 111., says : The coroner's in quest on the bodies of those killed in the disaster Wednesday nicht. which began last evening, was held on the top floor of the public school house. There were present only the coraner, the jury, President Leon ard of the Toledo, Peoria & Western railroad, Superintendent Armstrong ot the same road, Master of Bridges Aiarkly, Justice of the Peace Estes, and several reporters of the Chicago and Peoria papers. I he hrst witness called was Super intendent Armstrong. He testified that he was on the fated train, which consisted of 6 sleeping cars, 2 chair cars, 5 passenger coaches, one spe cial car and one baggage car, and was drawn by engine No. 13, engin eer McClintock and fireman Apple green, and engine No 21, engineer Southerland. Engine ' No. 13 was next to the baggage car. The name of the fireman of engine No. 21 he did not know. . liis car was next to the baggage car. The train left Chatsworth about 11:45 Wednesday night and after leaving he went into his own car and sat there three or four mil, utes. The next instant the car passed over the burning bridge. He was thrown out through one ot the windows into a hedge fence. He got up and asked one of the firemen where the first engine was, and was told engineer Southerland had gone to Oilman for help. Th: engineer cam in about three quarters of an hour with doctors. The wounded wtiv taken out of the wreck where possible and sent lo Chatsworth and Piper City, while all of the, dead were sent to Chatsworth. The bridge was only partially demolish ed when witness first saw it, the stringers at both ends having gone down. Dust and brush were thrown on the flames. The engine set fire to nothing, and only one car and a Pullman sleeper were slightly burn, ed. The witness met a section fore' man near the wreck after the occur rence and the latter said he went over the section at 5:30 Wednesday, Hand there was no fire there then. The witness had warned bim to t,nnA lU unnCnn Vionrla rrn rnrol t Vl O section after quitting work, knowing I that the excursion train was geing over the road that night. No train went over the bridca after 5.-30 d. m. Wednesday. Witness counted the tickets before reachins Chatsworth, and found there were a few over 600 persons on the train. He said he believed there were only three or four dead persons in Piper Citv, Witness did not think it possible anybody could have been so fiend ish as to burn the bridge The train was running he judged about thirty-five miles an hour at the time of the accident. Engineer aoutnerland told him that he saw a very small blaze before reaching the bridge, but thought it was from a tew leaves burning outside of the truck. The engineer also told him that he did not see the fire until he got directly over the br dee, and then he called for brakes, but it was too late. Witness remained until 7 o'clock in the morning and saw to the Handling of the bodies. He savx one or two persons picking the pockets of the dead. He was in' formed by those making search that they were seeking for their relatives. If he had had any .suspicion that the bodies were being rifled by those persons they would have been ar rested. There was plenty of help to get the bodies out of the wreck, valuable assistance being rendered by the Chatsworth fire company. In the cornfirld near the wreck he heard a man calling "Help ! help !" Witness went toward the place and found a man with his left leg broken above the ankle. The man asked him to turn his toes down. Witness told a farmer's boy who carte by with a bucket of water to stay near the man while witness went to the assistance of others. A dispatch from Springfield, 111., says : "The Board of Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners will go to Chatsworth to-day and conduct the investigation of the wreck of yesterday morning. Chatsworth, 111., Aug. 12. At seyen o'clock this morning Master Mechanic Warren, with a wrecking train and a large force of men were at work. Warren was confident that the track would be cleared for trains by noon- They were certain all bodies had been removed from the wreck. A special car Jwith the officials of the Wabash road reach ed the wreck early this morning and tendered the use of their wrecking outfit and offered to be of any ser vice possible. The Illinois Central also offered any required assistance, but Warren stni ne tnougff yent equip- rrtfcrH wmibl p. .A,,, A I i m tn rAjrTinfTHtn and attord labilities to track. President L ;onard, Superin tendent Armstrong and other Tole do, Peoria & Western officials were seen this morning. They have given devoted attention to the relief of the iniured and the care of the dead. Both show signs of the terri ble shock which the accident has been to- them. President Leonard said so fir as the railroad officials could estimate ther; were about SO killed and 100 seriously wounded. There are many who were slightly injured, of whom no record has yet been obtained. A list is oeing compiled. Mr. Leonard said that as near as he could ascertain the train was making about thirty miles an hour at the time of the accident, not on excursion rate speed, as the track was in good condition. The bridge, an ordinary fifteen foot wooden structure, was all right at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when a train passed over it, and half an hour later the section manager in spected it under orders in advance of .the excursion train. It was all right then. As to the liability of the company or the future of the road Presi dent Leonard could not say. The first thing the officials will do will bo to devote their attention to thicare of the unfortunate victims. It was a blow which would of course be most serious . to the road, but that was not oeing compared with the death of human beings. Mr. Leonard said he could in all con science say he believed the road had provided every reasonable and cus tomary safeguard. With the con sent of the coroner, President Leon ard has arranged that all unclaimed bodies will be cared for, washed and placed in coffins and conveyed. to Peoria, where with all their effects they will wait identification. The horrors of the wreck seemed deepening early this morning, in stead of lessening. Added to the pitiable spectable of the dead and the miseries of the dying a stench sickening foul was issuing from all the numerous places where the corpses of the victims yet remained. No piciure of horrible occurrences immediately succeeding an accident could equal in terrible details the scenes at the Toledo, reona anu Western depot here to-day. The west end of the little structure is a coal house and lumber room, where promiscuously itretched on the floor in the coal and rubbish were seven identified bodies: !bleod stained bed ruggs. sheets and blankets were thrjwn llooeelv over each, but afforded but little protection from the swarms of flies which were con' tinuousl v hovering over them, The odor emanating from the bodies ef fectually kept the room clear of all but hardiest of ajstill lingering anx iously curious crowds. Two of the yictims were women and the sight of their faces was one never to be forgotten. Sensational matures were deyel I oped this morning as to the taupe of the wreck. Rumors were afloat last night that it was due to robbe: who fired the bridge. But little credit was given this. The citizens say that a gang of Buspicious fellows nave been loitering around Chats worth for some days. Many of these were iounu early at the wreck pay ing more attention to relieving bo dies of their valuables than to care- mg for them otherwise. The train men and passengers had frequent uumenuoBs wun vanaais. in one instance Superintendent Armslronfr found a well known thief in the de pot room where properties taken from- the wreck were stored. While the people of the town have done all iq their power for the sufferers, there is a horde of tramps and thieves in this vicinity who do nothing but carry offanvthine thev wu lay meir nanas on. - i .i i A special from Forest to the Times says: "As last as the wounded -were brought into Chatsworth -from the wreck they were taken directly to the town hall, which had been turned into a hospital. It is a two- story frame building, the lower floor of which is UFcd as quarters for the local fire company, while in the up per entertainments are given. Beds and cots were broujht in from the neighboring houses lor the wounded. Foreign Affairs. By telegriph to the Asheville C'tizeu.l London, August 12.
