AUGUSTA, GBEE3TVII.I.E A KNOX- VILLE TO SEND DELEGATES, Last night at the regular meeting of the Board of Aldermen, Capt- Atkinson asked attention to and action concerning the proposed grand barbecue to be held in Asheville on the 24th, in behalf of railroad subscription. After hearing Capt. AUfinson the Board of Aldermen unanimously adopted the following : . Whereas, A mass meeting of the citi zens of Buncombe is called to assemble in the city of Asheville on tb 24tb.Hd&y of September -to adept waitiCble"- resolu tions petitioning the county commission era of said county . of Buncombe to sub' mit to the voter of the county whether they will authorize the issue of $100,000 in 6 nercent. bonds as subscriptions to the capital stock of each of four lines of ra'Iroads named in certain ' resolutions lately adopted in a meeting held by the citizens of Asheville; and Whehkas, At that meeting it was re solved to add to the interest and public comfort of the citizenscalled to assemble in Asheville on the 24thiin6t. by provid ing a public dinner or barbecue at which all who are interested are expected to be present : Resolved, That we, the Mayor and Al dermen of the city of Asheville, in full accord with the spirit of a movement having lor its object the material ad vancement of the city of Asheville and the county of Buncombe, in official ex pression of that spirit do hereby tender to the Mayor and municipal authorities of the cities of Augueta, Greenville, and Knoxville, and through them to the citi zens of the several communities they represent; and that, in all events, the said Mayors and municipal authorities be respectfully invited to send delega tions of representative citizens of their respective communities to be present at the public dinner to be given in this city on the 24th inst. Resolved, That the hospitalities of the city of Asheville be tendered to said del egations by the municipal authorities of the said city of Asheville, Resolved, That a copy of these resolu tions be sent to each and every the Mayor and municipal authorities of the cities embraced in this preamble and resolutions'. Haywood Couurr Court Week Good Crops New Raileoad. We spent several days at Haywood court this week. Saw a number of the goodly people of this goodly county, and found them in better spirits oyer fine prospects of business improvement than we have seen them in some time. Judze Monteoinerv conducted and din- patched boxncES-ln his yystematlc ana - i highly ajitieiactory manner. , All the or- fleers were, on duty and efficient No case of general public interest occupied the time of the court Haywood does not afford many criminals of the baser sort. From every section of the county we heard crops were the best for years, in quantity and quality, and our neighbors will have enough and much to spare as the result of their vear's labors. The tobacco crop, while not up to the yield of last yeir in quantity, is Jar superior to it in quality, and promises well. The proposition .to construct the Car olina, Knoxville and Western Railroad throughout that county, crossing from Transylvania county over the Pink Beds to the head waters of Pigeon River, thence down that river and through its splendid valley, lo Knoxville, is attract ing the interest of the people of the whole county. The people fiave been asked to vote a subscription of $100,000 to this road, and the election has been ordered for the 13th of October. We saw, to our surprise, some opposition to yoting the subscription, but believe the senti ment of the country to be very largely in favor of it, as it certainly ought to be. We will suggest to our friends in Hay wood, however, that in these times a people who expect to be helped must do something to help themselves. If a rail road is worth having, it certainly ought to be worth the giving something to obtain it. If the people do not want an other railroad, they can 6ay so by their votes. They need not expect other coun ties to be so indifferent to such-opportunities. Whichever countvn get this road can well afford to trWe the $100,000 for it. It wocld b- worth more to the county in a fw years than that amount would bf-ortl1 without the road in a fifne. Seriously, this road is a prize Loo he struggled for, and the county eettinz it may well congratulate themselves. But to get, and get it promptly, the peo ple themselves must do something to help its construction, and the amount asked is certainly reasonable. Let us all be up and doing, and avail ourselves of epportonities. which while promising so mucu, win cobo ub comparatively so nuie. Hon. Thos. D.

New Orleans, Sept. 16. 12:30 o'clock. This morning an explo sion occurred at the corner of Eng lish and Dauphine streets, aDd a moment later the entire building was on fire- and all escape from the upper stories in which the Mess sina family resided was cut off. Fire must have been burning some time before the explosion which was doubtless caused by the ig nition ol powder which Messina kept for sale. When the firemen reached the scene, the voices of Messina and family could be heard mingled with the roaring and crack ing of the flames, crying for help. Every effort of the firemen to rescue unfortunate inmates of the burning building failed, and the entire fam ily consisting of Messina, his wife and their four little children, were burned to death. The Constitutional Centennials. Asheville Citizen.l PnVJ.W Sept. 16 Du ring the past two days there have ar rived in the city by the various rail road lines nearly lour hundred thousand people, and to this must be added the vast number who have reached the city by other means than by railroad. There are at least half a million of strangers within the city toaday, and even with this throng in addition to the million of Jinhabitants, this page of history made 3resterday passed away with not a single acci dent of a eerious nature. Every body was good natured, and fors bearing and had but one object in their minds; the peaceful and happy celebration of the greatest event of civilized times. The enor mous size of some of displays in yesterday's pageant prevented them from occupying any other street than Broad; but to days dembnstra tion being purely military. The display passed through all prom inent streets, thus giving a greater number of people an opportunity of viewing display than were allow ed yesterday by reason of the limited space afforded them. ' When the procession had reached the exchange and the assemblage had come to something like order, President Cleveland was introduced and said : "I am glad I hava the opportuni ty to meet so large a representation of the business men of Philadelphia, It is well that we should not entire ly forget in the midst of our centen nial jubliee that the aim and pur pose of good government tend after all to the adyancement of the mate rial interests of people and the in crease of thi r interest ftndcommerce. The thought has sometimes occurred to me that in the hurrv and rush of business there might well be in fused a little more patriotism than we are wont to see, and a little more recognition of the fact that wholesome political sentiment is closely related, not only to the germ eral good, but to the general success of business. Of course our citizens, engaged in business are quick to sea the bearing of any policy which the government may adopt, as it affects their personal success and their ac cumulation. But I would like to j see that broad and public sentiment among them which can see beyond their peculiar personal interests' and which can recognize that the a4 vancement of the entire country is the object ior which they may well striv, . even . some times to the diminution of their constantly in creasing profits. Must we alwayB look for the: political . opinions of our business men, principally where they suppose their immediate! per cuniary advantage ia bound? I knojf how vain it is to hope' for' the-exemption of selfish motive in. 'all affairs of life. But I am ; reminded that we sdebrate o-day a triumph over selfishness.": Will any' one' say that, t.hft concessions of this ..consti tution were not well made, or that we are not to-day in the full enjoy ment ol the blessings resulting from due regard for all conflicting inter ests represented by the dinerent States which were united a hundred years ago. I believe the complete benefits promised to the people by our form of government can only be secured by the exercise of the same spirit of toleration for each other's rights and interests in which it had its birth. Thi3 spirit will prevail when the business men of the coun try cultivate political thought, when they cease to eschew participation in political action, and when such thought and action are guided by better motives than purely selfish and exclusive benefit. I am of the opinion that there is no place in the country where such condition can be so properly and successfully maintaihm here among our enterprising- tivCicss m'en'of Philadelphia. " The President arrived at the re viewing stands at 11 o'clock escorted by the first, city troop of cavalry and a throng of ' distinguished guests. Shortly after 11 o'clock Mr3. Cleveland appeared on the balcony of Lafayette Hotel followed by pri vate Secretary Lamont and wife and two or three guests. Mrs. Cleveland received enthusiastic applause as she appeared in front of the balcon'. At 11:U Ueneral Philip bheidan, mounted on a handsome sorrel came up the street at the head of a vast cavalcade ot the military pre- ceeded by a squad of mounted re serves. As he passed the reviewing stand the President arose and it was then one continuous sound of hur rahs. Troops and all marched with headserect and eyes looking straight ahead more like graven figures than moving humanity. General Sheri dan notwithstanding the plaudits of the multiude rode erect look ing neither to the right or ieft. As each'platoonpassed the President their commander gracefully raised their hats and saluted him, receiv ing in return a bow of recognition from the commander in chief of all the troops. After passing the stand and almost in front of Mrs Cleve land's balcony the cavalrymen gave marvellous exhibitions of their skill in drill exercises which were ap plauded to the echo. Behind Gov. Beaver came over ten thousand Pennsylvania militia who marched and performed different evolutions. Some of them were veterans and carried flags that had been with them throughout the late war. The entire parade was the most success ful ever sean ia -modern times and it would seem that the height of military perfection had been reacha ed by the. troops of the various States. It would indeed be hard to imagine anything more inspiring than thirty thousand uniformed militia all of whom were headed by regimental bands. Commanders of each turned face about as they reached the Presidient's stand and with cheers of countless thousands and Usweet strains of music the throngs of people were completely enraptured. The end of the parade was occupied by the Grand Army of the Republic and as as each post passed in front of the strand its commander gave a salute to the President and was recognized. Post 2 of this city carried in the centre of its cotumn twenty-one of the flags captured by them during the war. They were a mass of tattered and torn colors but they were honored with cheers whose "echo seemed to never die." Dur ing the time they were passing the President remained standing with his head uncovered and answered each salute as it was given; Ordere had previously been issued by the department commander of the G. A. R. that only post commanders should salute, men in line to keep faciDg ahead. This was not strictly adhered to however and many of those of rank and me passed by the stand with uncovered heads and when Garfield post No. 4, of New York, came up the front ranks turned face about and sent a rouso ing cheer for the Chief Magistrate, which he graciously acknowledged. Their cheer was taken up by the crowd and carried to the echo. Candy Factory Burned. ' (By telegraph to the Asheville CitlxenO : CmcAGO.'Sept. 16.
