Delighted and Grateful. We are truly grateful to the AssO' ciated Press for sending us yester day the thrilling information that a "short-stop" baseball player of New York had married an actress, and that the parties had kept their en gagement a secret until the night before. Heaven knows the short stopper lias our consent to wed the actress, but we feel constrained to make a short stop of the telegram saye through this acknowledgment, The Cup again TO THE CoKPSE Rescue Thte - Mrssrrre TAKEN TO the River. Jur mends the Adamses, senior and junior, made another rather ex citing discovery with the unerring coffee cup last evening and hastened to give us the startling information n the aforementioned gully, under the brush-pile and below the dead horse in a sou'westerly direction from the city proper, are some pieces of tin, so placed that the body of a man, specially if he was mur dered, could be concealed. The cup last evening plainly showed to the enthusiastic scientists that this tin had concealed the corpte from the usually quick perception of Chief Waddell, and that it had been removed, the body taken up care fully, and borne away to the river. The great 6plash ot the water, as the unlortunate victim was thrown into it, was plainly visible to the naked eyes of the Adamses. Three men and two women were distinctly seen bearing the corpse away to its watery grave. The women were so disguised as to make them look like they had short hair and long beard, while the men wore long hair, a villainous expression, and looked like they chewed tobacco, which the Adamses do not. Mr. Adams, junior, suggests that the Mayor and Chief Waddell ride around in that locality the Chief to cut off his attractive whis kers, as they would be easily recog mzeu, and leave oil the big plate which he wears on his breast, and they would certainly find something astonishing. He wishes specially that people along down the Mississippi keep a lookout for a stray corpse, for he says justas sure as the moon changes something will turn up and throw light on this dark mvstery. Ihey have promised us to work thut cup for all it is worth, if the Chief of Police will do his part in ferreting out this crime which has cast gloom over South Asheville ond the dead horse in the gully. We unite with the Messrs. Adams in believing there is a bottom to this thing, and we believe also that that cat) will show it yet.

Several of our citizens and many in Jackson remember this young man, who a few years ago was con nected with the Georgetown gold mines in Jackson. After "doing" that section he returned to Brook- yn, N. Y., and connected himself with a bank in that city, and did so well therein that he was lust and eminently ready to join that noble army of bank officers who have crossed over the river and faken up their abode in Canada. Instead, however, he was invited to quarters more or less comfortable in .Brook lyn jail, where he now awaits the ac tion of the jury, lor such cases made and provided. 1 His embezzlement was not so large as that of many others, but he made an intelligent start in that direction Marriage Bells.

Feanxlin, Oct. 8th, 1887 I left Asheyille with that very pleasant hunting party or a portion of it spoken of in the Citizen of the. Gth. It was n party that carried life with jt, and. had promise of sport ahead of iu There were bear hunters, and deer hunters, and fox hunters, not forgetting those who would not disdain to knock over a gobbling wi.d turkey or bag a stray pheasant; and fish ing tackle gave token that in leisure mo ments the rapid torrent of Hazel or For ney's Creek might be whipped for the speckled beauties. There were four packs of dogs stowed away in the baggage car. Nat Chambers bad a part of the famous pack that were in at the death of eleven bear last winter. Capt. Fagg had his fox hounds along, and looked for great Bport from the for-swate omen of finding the paws each or-'dand a gray fox left accidentally in .tockets of his iy in ( jpockets of his I lasifhA eip8o -. r . . ; . . ..i tw - .- r) s-i Creasman of Swanhku. supply the deer; but every bile was hope-1 ft I w itn oi a sport, ana every man trustful in his exemption from an attack of the "buck ague" should an antlered monarch threaten to run over him. It was altogether a fine body of eighteen baidy athletic men inured to snort somp. of them experienced hunters, and all go ing to seek game in the depths of the deepest of the mountain wilderness, among the Smoky Mountains, in the un broken, almost untrodden, woods that lie under Clingman'a peak, the highest, noblest, ana least visited in the range of the Smokies. The parly left the train at the month ofiSoland Creek a few miles north of Charleston. Ihere were horses who were ready to meet them to take them to "camp" seven miles up the creek. A road had previously been cut for horses up to the ramp, the road opened and the shanties Duilt by direction and at the expense of Col. Frank Coxe, who is the moving spirit of this delightful "Week in the Woodlands." There was no effeminacy in this provision of comfort able shelter; for at this Beason of the year, -LjOO feet above sea level, cold and rouch weather may be looked for; and however defiant the hunters may t:e in day light oi rougu usage, wnen night comes, some approacn to nome comforts will be as much prized by them as by the most luxurious. - Parting with my friends at '"'ebster Station, I took the hack for this place, via Webster, at which place I had the moitification of seeing the Franklin mail bag taken out to wait its turn, under the cnangea scneuuie, until next morning I he hack in which I rode went on, but the mail did not leave until 14 hours later. The mail going and returning now again lies over a night at Webster. On the route up Savannah Creek to the crossing of the gap of the Cowee moun tains I stw the effect of a water spout which fell during the past summer on the cre8t of the range. Part of the waters tore down the east face and left their track of ruin miles down the c:ek. In places the road which follows the stream was obliterated, and the bed of the creek is now the highway. On the west side, the torrent formed by the cloud burst took its course down a little trickling stream mat nnds its way into Watauga Creek. In the flood that filled it the water must have been twenty feet deep, and the once innocent little channel is a shapeless chaos of rocks piled up in places ten ieei nign. ine rush and the crash of this mass of rocks and water down the long steep mountain side must have c -Tried with it something of the terribly ii- Buuuuje. Reaching Franklin about 8 o'clock I had immediate pleasant evidence of im piovementa. A lone vista of lamrs stretched the length of the broad street, making every thing visible. It was neither electricity nor gas; but the more humble gasoline did its pait well, and left nothing more to be desired until tranklin elsu shall have felt the inspiring influence of rail roads. a l6topped at the Brittain IIouso, former ly kept by Mr. and Mrs. N. G. AUniiin; now by ir. S. P. UritUin, with the most efficient aid of Lis wife and daughters. It will never do for me to fray it is better kept than before. It was always to me a home like place. It is saying much to say that I feel still at home in the Brit tain House, and that there is nothing to be added to its comforts and excellencies. Looking out this morning from the long piazza upon which my loom opens I had a view of another marked step of improvement, ine oiu wooden jonnston store opposite was torn away, and in its place were going up two large brick stores, two, perhaps to be, three stories high, with large open glass fronts, and in every respect to be city ptores. - The Elliotts, tho?e competent architects and builders, have the work in charge, and that is saying enough. George Jones, Esq., has a new brick office, next the Brittain House nearly completed; and that is all the building at present going on, on the main street. But on this street. Major Higdon not long since com pleted a fine brick store, now occupied by Mr. C D. Child, as a hardwaro and agricultural store; and the size and com pleteness of the stock shows that his enterprize is not misplaced. Mr. Child took me this afternoon to the street parallel with the main street, like our Church street, devoted to churches. and educational buildings. The ground on the north of the street rises into long high ridge, opening upon a magnificent prospect in. every direction, and all around- the horizon; and on this the new Academy, externallv a showy building of brick, the Methodist church, the Mas onic HlL ml the new EniscoDal church are situated. I visited none but this last. It is a email building, of brick, but architecturally a little gem, the design of Ren wick of New York, with eome modifications to conform to the funds available. It is what might be called rural Gotric in style with low walls, but high pointed gables, open ceiling, and trussed roof, of oak; and the interior will be finished in native woods. The builder is Mr. John Cockrum of Ashnville. The walls are up and the roof will be put on next week. There is cn appropriateness in giving up this, the highest parts of the town, to religious and educational uses. The position itself tends to elevate and ennoble the tboughlB, and the magniuc ent in nature that confronts the eye. whichever way it turns, must purity and sublime the feelings. But I will come down to a more pra ti cal anbiect. This afternoon Mr. H. Trotter took me to his steam flour mill not far from the river. We were ac compaqied by Mrs. Trotter and her pretty and sprightly U'.tle daughter and the charminn Mirh Johnson, of Tennes- see; and the walk and the converse were bo pleasant that the mill seemed most provokingly near. But that was what we had gone to see, aud it had to be in spected. It has been in use . about a month. The mill is a new building, as neai externally as good carpentry and white paint can make it. Within it has the same air of neatness, and the ma chinery looks as if it were on exhibition at an agricultural fair. But see it work, and it proves it is not all for show. It is run by a six horse power road engine. Mounted on wheels, ready to take up its line of march, to go into the woods and saw up lumber, or out into the wheat fields to thrash out grain. (It did clean out 15,000 bushels of the last wheat crop,) Now it stands very patiently under shel ler, and merrily clatters away as it gives speed to the bands that put in motion the machinery within. Besides a corn mill, the wheat will grind up about 80 bushle a day, and it is bar J to find pret tier flour anywhere, even by the "new process." It is comparatively a small affair, but it is a significant note of pro gress. franklin, and Macon countv. feel greatly the need ot railroad facilities; feel ii tne more, because tantalized by the knowledge - of the existence of roads within. twenty miles which gi ve no pres-1 ktpepect.jl coming nearer tantalized .1 : J ' Tl 1J K . m . . me niuiitr mat gre.s- nauy- ';u!e- sron or gigantic gap-' whiclr-ifretcheB across the State from (ieotgia to Tennes see, through which tha Tenfieseee river flows with scarce a ripple to- break its gentle surface, and along which a road can be laid with scarce cost enoiuth to make profitable work for a contractor. and nt a grade in a course of more than fifty miles not exceedingly fifiy-one feet to the mile. But there is a possibility that the Ma con people will not always he forgotten. l his evening a gentleman, Capt C. C Ham, connected with the Cumberland Valley and Unaka road project, came in: and from him I have some interesting information. The enterprise does, not seem so much of a myth as we have con cluded to class it. It is proposed to build it irom caye City on the Louisville and Nashville road, in Kentucky, cutting through the Cumberland mountains, passing to the south of Knoxville, and stnmngtue lennessee (our Tennessee) as it comes out of the Chilhovvee moun tains at the head of the famous Harper farm; thence up that river to its head waters, and through Rabun Gap, and down through Georgia and South Caro lina by as direct a line as can be had to the coast. The company in charge is a New York one, said to have money in plenty; at 'least they are now spending a good deal. At present they are marking the line along the river from the Harper Farm in Tennessee to Rocky Point in Swain county. This section is 14 miles long, and is through that tremendous rift made by the river where it tears the Smoky mountains asunder to make a passage for itself. The rocks on either side rise in perpendicular cliffs to the height of many hundred feet. There i3 no bench or beach along the raging torrent. The roadway must be blasted out of the face of the cliffs; and as pre liminary to this a party is now engaged in marking along the side of the cliffs the heights of which are to guide the coming working force. To do this they are Bwune from above from over the rock, and hang suspended by ropes from above, a hundred feet or more, over hanging the waters; while a party on the other side with leveling instruments signal to them where to lay their marks. This looks like business, and Capt Hani has obtained the right of way through Swain. He is now applying for the same in Macon. The contract for this 14 mile sectfon has bpen let out; and the whole liro i3 expected to be com pleted within two years. Some weeks ago there was a general jail delivery here. One of the prisoners was Uellart, charged vn'h tne murder oi man named Tabor in Swain. He ielded himself up some time since.

I ordered some oy express irom Messrs. iawson a Lance or Marshall. On my way home i met a neighbor much excited, on his way tonndsonio remedy for his little child who had been suffering from flux for two weeks and was very low. I gave him a bottle.
