The West End Pharmacy.
Mr. J. H. Woodcock has removed his
drug 6tore to his new brick building at
the intersection of Haywood and Patton

fitted for the purpose of a drugstore, and
he is now better prepared to serve the
wants of the citizens of West Asheville.
We are pleased to learn that he has met
with good success, and his energy and
application will doubtless merit increas
ed patronage.
City Ckmetery.
Mr. James P. Sawyer, Vice-President
and one of tho directors of the Riverside
Cemetery Company, in a conversation
with us yesterday afternoon gave ns some
in'eresting informaticn, suggested by
the recent monthly meeting of the
Board.
Since Jan, C, 1887, all interments of tho
dead of the city were required to be
made in the new cemetery. The excep
tions were very rare. This included the
colored as well as the, whites, and also
the paupers from tho poor house, which
is beyond the city limits.
The population, citizens as well as
strangers, gives a total never within the
past two years at any time less than
8,000. The population by the census
taken last winter waa 7,258, The first
interment, that of Miss ratton, daughter
of Mr. John E, Patton, took place JaD, 6,
1886. i or tae twenty -one months end
ing hept. 61), iss7, the intezmenis were
100. This is a fraction of 8 per month,
or 1 in 1,01)0. lhis is a very small death
rate ; less by far than has been ascribed
to Asheville. Yet it isanthentic.
Road Machine.
We saw a new implement in the
way of a read machine at work on
Vance street yesterday, cuttinp;,
scraping up nnd grading the street.
It was the American Champion,
made by American Road Machine
Co., of Kennett, Pa, With six
horses and a man to handlo the ma
chinery, it cut and scraped its way
through the soil to perfection. With
one of these a vast deal of grading
can be done in a day.

Thk Rosa Lee Villa.
This is the name of the handsome
building and grounds of Mr. J. M. Camp
bell in West Asheville. The residence
is about completed, and is one of the
most complete in its appointments in
Asheville. It contains five bed looms,
besides parlors, dining room, kitchen,
bath rooms, pantry and laundry, all
under the same roof, with capacious
halls, and verandas on every side, besides
commanding one of the finest viaws in
the city. The interior has been finished
entirely with hard woods, and presents
a most comfortable appearance. Mr-
Campbell has ten acres in the immediate
grounds, which are to be beautified, and
has ten acres adjoining, which are in the
market. I he Duilding will he ready for
occupancy next week. The work has
been under the management of Mr. O. D.
Revels, although Mr. Campbell has been
his own architect and supervisor.
Tax on the Poll.
The Citizen stated a few days ago,
commenting upon an article in the
Brevard Pioneer, that in all tax leyies,
special as well as general, the cooetitu
tional equation must be observed between
the poll and property, and that if a
special tax of 50 cents were levied on
property, a poll tax of SI. 50 would have
to be levied also, all tax raised by auth
ority of the special tax to go to the object
of tho special tax.' We felt very confid
ent of this position, and still believe
that in reason and principle it ought to
be so if it is not. But we are informed
by a gentleman of very high legal ability
and in whose judgment we have great
confidence, that we are mistaken in our
premises, that all special taxation, under
the constitution, only involves a tax on
property, and no levy on the poll under
such acts is constitutional- We defer to
this opinion of the gentleman and give
the people of Transylvania the benefit of
it. Yet, while it ma7 be law, we must
say that it is a very dangeious one, giving)
a power to non-property noiders, wnicn
ungiii. uc use a wiiti very eenuuu con
sequences.

AMID TnE GORGE'S OF BLACK
- MOUNTAIN.
Only last week when twijight was past.
and when supper had been eaten, a little
party of four ladies sat I ndiau fashion,
close to a ulky balsam fire, that was
trying hard not to burn amid the pufls
of,wiad that blew tinder the great helv
ing rock on the east summit of Mitchell.
They listened eagerly" to the monotone
of their guide, as lie. told them in
sepulchral accents the sad fate Of Prof.
Mitchell. Twenty-six years ago? why
the harrowing tale seemed fresh as yes
terday We could imagine we heard the
restless feet of six hundred mountaineers,
that scalded the rugged wildnejs of every
gorge and mountain defile. We could
marvel on the w onderful stillness broken
by the hard clods falling in that lonely
grave tiiat rests so . much nearer to
Heaven, than perhaps many of tis shall
ever be. "Oh Mr.GiassI " we btirat f.rth
in a breath, "jou miut guide us to the
very rock where tho accident occurred;
we cannot rest until our eves have j-azed
upon it!" Mr. Glass who had been
stooping over the fire raised his- gaunt
muscular form aud eyed Ui-y't' iyed us
as an' elephant -might' have eyed four
small mice that - proposed cirrying a
caravan upon their backs. ') adies," he
said, and his voice sounded solemn with
warning, "I would advise you'uns
halt agen you aire. Tharaint no trail to
you spot, it be pow'ful steep
rough, thar be danger. I took one
man thar now four years gone, how he
swore pow'ful; he said a man war a
- - fool to come to seen a place, he
would ha' given fifty dollars to be home
agen." This speech would have intimi
dated the majority of persons, bit with
us only served to add to our deterimina
tion to risk the expedition at all hazards.
If the tongue of one woman has been
said to ove: power a man, it can be under
stood that the combined efibtts of four
could have led Mr. Glass without dif
ficulty even down the crater of Popocate
petl. Dreamy sleep on balsam branches
was disturbed at dawn by fluttering snow
birds pecking crumbs of bread around us;
they were so innocent that we forgave
their rudeness in awaking us. The sun
rise was concealed by a dense mist, and
Mr. Glass almost took heart of grace that
the dare devil project would have to be
abandoned, but no such comfort for him !
The sky was soon exquisitely clear, and
we started forth on this belter skelter
journey. First we wept down, down,
down, on the western side of the moun
tain until we reached "Big Tom Wil
son's" trail. Big Tom Wilson must have,
employed a rampaging catamount to
have scratched out this path: it is scarcel v
more than a foot wide, and one mass of
roots, and jagged rocks, insolent bushes
slap you in the face at every step. After
two miles rf this kind of a tumble, Mr.
Glass suddenly shied off to the right in a
trackless wild. The balsam trees heie
grow to an immense height. No ray of
sunlight enters to dissipate the moulder
ing gloom. Soft green moss covers the)
fallen trees, spreads over dark holes be
tween the rocks, and makes the foothold
most deceptive. I jumped upon a log,
and to my horror sunk through the
mould almost to my waist There were
frequent screams from oar party as they
would topple over into deep holes, and
have to be prized out by Mr. Glass. Ev
ery -large tree had to bo Dlazsd ax we
passed along. Tor even the practised eye
of the mountain hunter could not detect
onr toot marks. Sometimes we had to
crawl on all fours through laarel thickets,
sometimes a path had to be hewn with
the axe. Then we would go down a
precipice, hanging on tooth and nail to
small roots and branches, and tumbling
and sliding to the bottom, where our
most attentive guide would stand with
uplifted arms, to catch us one by one,
and prevent our bones ff$ in crumbling on ;
the hard rocks. After what appeared
miles of scrambling the awe struck
whisper of Mr. Glass stopped us. ''Thar
it is ! " and he pointed his long ringer to
a huge rock to out right. 'Thar, over
yon steep rock, is whar the poor old
man, ia the blaokness of night, fell and
lost his lite." We crept there, and look
ed aghast upon the uceiie. The water
that cnee poured in a torrent over the
rock sixteen fe-3t above our heads, had
long since in the mutabilitv of Nature
changed its course. Theporlin which
the Professor's mangled body was found,
is now a downy bed of moss. We spoke
in awesome whispers, and shivered as
the hoartso croak of a raven jarred upon
our cars. " The sun never gleams upon
the dark place, the silence of death
reigns supremo. A damp chill penetrated
to the hearts and were as if the icy fingers
of death were threatening us. We were
glad to leave this desolation, to climb
once more up to the sunshine away from
this uncanny haunt, and to feel that this
visit is stored away with some of the sad
memories ofpur past. II. M . L.
Death of Mr. W. H. Lister.
This gentleman, well known in this
community in connection with mining
interests, died at the Mission Hospital
on Weddesday night. He . bad been an

years of age. His remains were Interred

fashion ; and through the drifting
fog could be seen gaining on the
Scotch cutter. Ten minutes after
the start the Volunteer was well to

the Thistle. Half of the excursion
boats were not up tothe lightship
when the start was made.
Highlands. Sept. 30. The weath

9:25 a. m, The wind i3 stronger
very foggy.
9:38 a.m. Raining heavily; wind
increasing rapidly, blowing twenty
miles an hour. There now appears
a chance of the fog lifting.
- 9:40 a. m. The rain and wind is
subsiding.' It is possible the yachts
will start. The fog hangs heavy.
Sandy Hook, 9:52 a. m, The
Thistle was at Scotland lightship at
9:20. The wind was then blowinsr
fifteen miles an hour from E. N. E. ;
the fog thick: a driving rain falling.
Tho reporters at Highlands and
Sandy Hook will be unable to see

The storm has placed the wires in
bad shape and the bulletins will be
delayed
Highlands, 10:42. The prepara

starting signal has just been fired at
10:42. 1 he yachts are now manceu

fifteen miles an hour. E. The fog is
lifting a little

signalled before the start to make
the course E. by N. The yachts are
now outside the bf r, still on the
starboard tuck. The Volunteer is
gaining on the Thistle, and getting
to windward.
Mighlasbs, 11:05.: As the yachts
crossed the line, the Thistle was seen
to Vie windward. They are heading
E. N. E., sailing on the course laid
towards Far Rockaway. The Vol
unteer is outpulling the Scotchman.
They- have become very indistinct
objects on the misty horizor, and
will soon disappear lrom view un

relative positions were unchanged
when lust seen being only about five
hundred yards apart.
Sandy Hook, 11:30. The start
was made from Scotland lightship.

increased several miles in the last
half hour. A steamboat reports
passing the yachts eight miles north

witness the President and Mrs

Mrs. Cleveland's maid, entered and
were driven to the Pennsyvi.nia

wore his usual black suit, while
Mrs Cleveland was dressed in brown
silk bodice, with white spring skirt
and bonnet to match. At the sta
tion a special train had been run
back nearly to the entrance of the
building, an ordinary car had been
attached for the accomodation of
the-railroad and train men which
is to be detached at Baltimore. At
that city the cars of the special train
which are now headed by P. P. C,
will be reserved so as to bring the
observation compartment in the
rear. The train looked very hand
some in its new paint and-Jglistning
bronze fittings; through the plate
glass windows could be seen bas
sets oi lacruimanots roses and other
cut flowers, which, had been pro
vided by Mrs. Pulnnan. From the
waiting rooms a curious crowd eyed

party as they arrived. 'Marshal
Wilson was early at the station. He
was followed by Secretary Fair-
ohild. Col. and Mrs. Lamont with
their two children arrived next and
went immediately to the train. Sec
retary Whitney and Endicott pre
ceded the presidential party by a
few minutes, Dr. Bryant and Mr.
Bissell had already arrived and ta
ken their place m the tram. At ten
mioutes to ten o'clock the Presi
dent made his appearance at the
station. He was escorted by Mar
shal Wilson and Mr. Baldwin. Su
perintendent oi the Pullman Co.
Mrs. Cleveland and her mother
came next and the maid tollowed
them. Quite a crowd of news pa
per men, railroad officials and other
favored persons had been admitted
to the platform; most of them raised
their hats, and the salutes were re
turned by the party. Secretary and
Miss Bayard hurried up at this mo
ment and boarded the train with the
President and Mrs. Cleveland. En
gine No. 46., in charge of Engineer
Frank Carver had just backed down
and coupled on to the train which
was under the direction Conductor.
A. Haverstock. Members of the
Cabinet and Mrs. Folsom and Miss
Baysrd said "farewell," and at pre
cisely ten o'clock the train mov.ed

Nashville, Sept. 30. One hun
dred and twenty thousand votes,
representing half of the probable to
tal vote of the State haye been re
ported and the majority against the
prohibition amendment is about
seyen thousand. If the rates is kept
up, the majority may be ten or fif
teen thousand, but mnch depends
on the bacr counties, which are
claimed by both sides. Should the
prohibitionists carry them the fate of
amendment is in doubt, but they
are believed to have gone against
the amendment.

President Cleveland has appoint
ed William L. Putnam of Maine
and J S. Angel of Michigan to act
with Secretary of State B iyard in
negotiating for a settlement with
Great Britain of the dispute grow
ing out of Canadian fisheries trou
bles. The trouble with negroes in Mat
agorda and Brazoria counties, Tex
as, is believed to be settled for the
present. The Houston Light Guards
have returned from the seat of war.
Two negroes were Killed in Sun
day's conflict, and Oliver Shepherd,
the leader of the negroes, has fled
the county.
Mr. Obeiiy, of Illinois, a member
of the Civil Service Commission,
declined to address the'Illinois Dem
ocratic Association, composed of
clerks in Washington from that
State, on the ground that under the
Civil Service law he cannot partiet-
pate in partizan meetings, and adds
this Association being partizan in
its character and purpose, it cannot,
in his opinion, exist without its
members violating several of the
penal clauses of the Civil Service
law. He maintains that the law
forbids such organization.
'1 he President granted a pardon
to .Tosis-.h Burrell, convicted of vio
la, ing the Internal Revenue law in
Greenville, S. C. He also pardoned
John N. Brooks con victei of same
oflencf in Georgia, aud sentenced
to seven months imprisonment. In
granting this atter" pardon President-Cleveland
takes occasion to
say, and well says : "'It seems to me
that the law is not administered in
the best manner when, as in this
case, a man of preyious good char
acter and a law-abiding citizen is
sentenced for seven months' impris
onment for working for others one
day in an illicit distillery, especial
ly when he pleads guilty shows evi
dence of sincere repentance and dis-,
closes the name of his employers,
an! when by this imprisonment
four helpless motherless children
are left to the care of others."
"AH Men are liars,"
said David of o'rt. He was probably
prompted lo make the above remark after
trying some unreliable catarrh remedy.
Had he been permitted to live until the
present day, aud tried Dr. Sage's Remedy,
lie might have Had a hotter opinion of
mankind. We claim that no case of
catarrh can withstand .ue magic effects of
this wonderful medicine. One trial of it
will convince you of Its efficacy. By drug
