Some of our friends from the country,
speaking of Sunday's snow, say they re
member one which fell before the war
none of tbeui remember the year about
the 17th of October- They say the leaves
were still green on the trees, but the
snow was deeper than this last and lav
on the ground longer.
The Raleigh Dispatch correspondent
sayi:
Steps are to be taken to give Fayette
ville a good water supply. Few places in
the State have better or more convenient
sources of supply. Asheville will pro-
babiv set watt-r by its new svstem after
all. Lar&e pumps are being put in, and
these, it is claimed. M ill be able to lift the
Swannanoa water 400 feet t tie reser
vior on the mountain.
There has been no difficulty in lifting
the Swannanoa water 400 feet to the
reservior. That has been satisfactorily
demonstrated, and at one time tue stand
pipe was half rilled. The trouble was in
the weakness of the pumps first but in
w hich were unable to bear the continu
ous tremendous strain. The new pumps.
now beinz put up, are expected perfectly
to do their work.
Mr. McCon ell
Has opened one of the neatest tonsc-
rial rooms in the elate in on of the new
buildings just erected north of the old
Buck Hotel, North Main street, where he
will be pleased to see his friends and the
public. The best artists only will be
found. Tobacco, cigars and confection
eries also kept. Mr. Mc. asks a share of
public patronage, and we hope he will
get it, as he will deserve it.

IIomiotdb in Madison County.
Mr. Burnett Woody informs us of a
istressing family tragedy which occur
red in Meadow Creek township, Madi
sou county, on Wednesday night last.
Daniel Harvey was stabbed and killed
by his son Joseph. It appears that the
parties all occupied the same room. The
lder Harvey bad been engaged in a
wordy quarrel with his wife during the
afternoon, which was renewed after they
went to bed. The son who had gone to
his own bed.Nrritated by th3 noise of the
continued wrangle, rose, saying he would
not stand it any longer, went to his
father's bed side, p'unsed a knife three
times into his body, and went out of
doors. The father sprung up and follow
ed Lis son, declaring tint he would kill
him; but directly 6topped, and called to
his son to help him, saying "you have
killed me." The 6on assisted him to the
house ar d then made his escape.
A coi oner's iurv. on viewing the bed v
of the deceased, decided that any one of
the stabs was mortal.

Now for a gentle deal of Indian

No building operations carried on
yesterday.
The mercury fell to 25 above zero
Monday morning at sunrise.
We really believe that our West

prettiest and most exhilerating; that
fall anywhere on the continent.
Overcoats and coal were in steady

See change in the advertisement

dification and de!igij". Mr. Howi
ell's good ta6te and sound judgment
will always guarantee tne very best
and most tasteful selection o! goods
We believe that if the railroad
subscription is voted there will be
from a half to one million dollars
brought to and invested in this
country before next summer. Let
us all work to brine more capital
and more industries, thus giving
increased labor to our working peo
pie and a better market for farm
products.
"We conclude, with some large op
portunities of comparison, that Her

largest, is the neatest and most ad
mirably arranged in the State. Mr,
Geo. Ii. French's, in . Wilmington, is
the largest, and is well arranged, but
II. fc W. have adopted conveniences

It is a model establishment.
Knox county, Tenn., has recently
voted a debt of 6600,000 for rail
roads, and already, the press of
Knoxville is boasting that as a re
sult of this many thousands of dol
lars have been attracted to and in
vested in that city and county. En-,
terprise will attract enterprise and
ipital and labor and wealth, all of
which increases population and
consumption of the products of sur
rounding farms.
It our people vote the railroad
subscription it will be from one to
two years before either load can be
built in the county, and before our
people will have to issue bonds. In
the mean time, by virtue of such
enterprise on the part of our peo
ple and the prosperity and enter
prise iirites, there will be several
times the amount asked brought
here and invested in various enter
prises, thus making our section
richer, and better enabling us all to
pay any burdens the subscription
may involve.
A number of persons have asked
us for the offensive language used by
a Minneapolis paper and applied to
Mrs. Cleveland and her distinguished
husband. All can appreciate the
coarse brutality of the following par
agraph which is the closing sentence :
"It is hard to have respect for a
woman who would sell herself to so
gross and repulsive a man as Grover
Cleveland, and one with a private
record so malodorous, for the bauble
of a brief social ascendency."

A REMARKABLE SNOW STORM.

Sunday, the 30th of October, 1887, will
be as long remembeied as the remark
able 4th, 5th and 6th of December, 1886,
the last marking the occasion of tha
heaviest snow storm ever known here,
the first, of the earliest genuine winter
storm ever experienced at this season.
All Sunday morning the skies were cov
ered with cold gray eloud, the wind
from a little East of the North, and a
chilling temperature of 36. . About 1 o'
clock, withoutany preliminaries of drop
ping scattered naices, tne nortnern bills
were suddenly hid" from view bv the
curtain of the coming snow, and in a few
minutes it was on ue with the thickness
of a summer rain. But il did not bo soon

picture altogether arctic; and one also

peeped out the delicate greenhouse plants.

This is said to be the earliest snow

Voting Taxes Fob Railroads.
The Carolina, Knoxville and Weste rn
Railroad is a line which proposes to
connect Port Royal, S. C , with Knox
ville, Tennessee, passing by Augusta, Ga.,
Greenville, S. C , Asheville or through
Haywood, N. -C, to Knoxville. There
are about one hundred miles of this line,
between Augusta and Greenville graded.
A contract has been made lor the comple
tion of this line through, provided the
counties through which it parses will
vote reasonable subscriptions The coun
ties in South Carolina have done their
part in this respect. Transylvania and
Haywood counties in North Carolina.
and Sevier and Knox counties in Tennes
see have done theirsv The good.
progressive old county of Buncombe only
remains to do its part to secure this very
important line. This coanty will vote
on the 19th instant, upon the proposition.
The proposition submitted to Bun
combe, however, involves subscription)
two other roads, the Carolina, Central
from Rutherfordton to Asheville, con
necting here with the Carolina, Knox
ville and Western for Knoxville, and a
road from Asheville by way of Weaver
viile, Flat Creek, Ivy, Burnsyille and
Bakersville to Cranberry to connect with
the Three C's Road at the latter place.
The amount proposed to be voted is
four hundred thousand dollars, in bonds,
to be due in thirty years from date of
issue, bearing four per cent interest; one
hundred thousand to be issued to the,
Carolina, Knoxville and Western Road
upon its completion from South Carolina
to Asheville, one hundred thousand to be
issued to the Carolina. Centra! when
ompleted from Rutherfordton to Ashe-
me, one hundred thousand to the line
from Asheville to Cranberry when com
puted, and the remaining one hundred
thou?and to the Carolina, Knoxv.lle and
western, or the Caralina Central, when
either shall be completed from Asheville
th roujjh Leicester and Sand Mush in
the direction of Knoxville.
A.-i we have stated all the counties in
volved have voted the amounts asked of
them, and Buncombe only remains to be
heard from.
What will our people do about it?
('an tl. cy afford to sit still and fall be
hind other' communities in enterprise
and prosperity 7
cannot they anord to assume the debt
proposed, ai the farthest, provided all the
four- roads are completed, involving for
their generation only sixteen thousand
dollars per annum ? four thousand dol
larsnot e'xeeeding five cents on the
hundred dollars of property to each
road?
A matt- rs stand to-day, Asheville will
haye to pay two-thirds of the taxes. If
one or more of these roada are built
and we pay nothing until they are built
and being operated--br proportion will
be largely increased. Cannot our coun
try friends, who wilt certainly be benefit
ted by Aeheville's grow b,' assist to bo
small on extent in seeming the agencies
which all must know will help all so
much?
We ask .our people to think of this:'
Our county tuthorities do not hesitate to
say that by the time either road can be
completed bo as to entitle it to the quota
of bonds the annual tax levy will be
much reduced from what it is now, and
to provide for all the proposed interest
will still leave the levy, lor all State and,
county purposes, at 70 cents or less not
more, on the hundred dollars of property.
The present levy, for State and county,
is 70 cents, the smallest since the war;
and even with all four roads provided
for, by the time they would have to be
provided for, the levy would not exceed
70 4-ects, and most probably will be less
Cannot our people afford to take this
rh-k which promises so much to their
county, and which cannot increase their
present burdens? -
It has been shown that as Ashtville
increases in wealth, the ratio of taxation
increases in the town and decreases cor
respondingly in all the country town
ships. As a matter ot dollars and cents
it is economy for our country friends to
assist all ihey can to build op and in
crease the wealth of Asheville, thereby
lessening their own proportion' of
taxation. -
Think of these things, friends, and let
us all unite in voting the subscription.
We conscientiously and candidly aav
that it is the cheapest investment to
promise such immense wealth without
any, risk whateyer on the part of the
people, we have ever knawn. Let us
show we pan at least assume reaponaibili
t:es which promise so much ifallisdono,
and which involve us in - nothing if jjo
thing is done. . - . C

(By telegraph to the Asheville Citizen.)
Washington, Oct. 31. The U. S.
Supreme Court room was crowded
again to-day in anticipation of a de
cision upon motion lor a writ of
error in the case of the Chicago An
archists. It was thought that Juss
tice Miller might perhaps announce
the decision a-jil read tne upiuiuii;
and when his turn came the court
room was absolutely still while
every person present listened eager
ly for his nrst words. I he judge
ments which he announced had,
however, no relation to tne case
which was in every one's mind, and
it was not until the reading of opin
ions had been concluded that any
reference to that case was made.
The Chief Justice then said that the
court hoped to be able to announce
its .dtcision upon the motion of
Spies and others for a writ of error

O'Brien's Appeal Disallowed.
By telegraph to the Asheville Citizen.!
Dublin, Oct. 31. The appeal of
William O'Brien, editor of "United
Ireland." against the senieuce of
three months imprisonment imposi
ed on him by the Milche:ltown
court, has been refused and the sen
tence of the lower court is confirmed.
The charge ot which Mr O'Brien
was convicted, was that of using se
ditious language under the "crimes
act," at the National league meet
ing at Michellstown. O'Brien ar
tived at Cork this morning, and
was given an enthusiastic reception.
He started for Middletown w here the
heaiing on Ids appeal wa3 to be
heard in company of Messrs. Dillon
and Harrington. ' A most exciting
scene ensued in the court room at
Middletown when the decision con
firming the sentence of the Mitch
ellstown court was announced. The
room was immediately in uproarand
the people clustered about O'Brien
to prevent the law officers from ar
resting him. Harrington contended
that the police had no right to ar
rest O'Brien. A terrible struggle
took place in the court room and in
the passage leading to the street be"
tween O'Brien and his friends on
one side, and the police on the oth
er. Ladies set earned and fainted acd
the confusion was general. The
police finally succeeded in arresting
O'Brien. The people remained on
the street outside of the court, clam
oring for the rescue of O'Brien and
vengance upon the police.
O'Brien refused to reply to the
statement that he was a partis tn to
coercion. He knew his. case was
already decided, and declined to ad
duce any argument. Tho Recorder
therefore at once gave his decision,
to"the effect that the language upon
which O'Brien was convicted was
an incitement to resistance.

Carelessness at quarantine see.ns
sure to give New York a cholera
epidemic next ear. It is too late
now, but the seeds are sown for the
next hot weather to germinate and
nourish.
Fortunately the yellow fever at
Tampa appeared late in the season.
In a climate without frost it is apt
to remain there until it has used up
all the material for attack, but it is
now not likeij- to endanger distant
places sufficient to give the feyer a
foothold.
Alaska promises to be the great
gold region of the world. Gold

over a width of 500 miles and of

$7,000,000 was not a bad bargain.
Pleasant Words.
Our former townsman Mr. W. T.
Robertson, now the editor of the
Rot;ersviile (Tenn) Rerie-w, was in
this city the day of the President's
visit, and.haa some very pleasant
things to say of the occasion. He
also has the following kindly words
tor this city :
Asheville of to-day is not Ashe
ville of a little over two years ago.
when we left it a town boasting of
a population of four or five thous
and. But it is a city of eight thous-
and inhabitants, with push and
progress written on everthinir. But
for a few old landmarks, that can
not be defaced, we would have nev-
er recognized the place. Block after
block 01 tine business houses have
been erected, and residences that
would do honor to any city, has
gone up all over the place. As it
appeared to ns, the population has
almost, if not quite, doubled itself
since we lelt there in June, 1885.
We used to know every business
man in the place, and almost every
citizen living th ere, but now the
city is full of strangeis, who have
gone there and located and are do
ing business in various parts of the
city.
1 he Batter v Park Hotel is one of
the finest strictures in the Southern
Stitps. Rnilt nnnn a lirnrr.inAnt. bill
commanding the finest mountain
view ol the world, it has done
more to build up the place than
has any one enterprise. It was
built and finished at a cost of about
$200,000, and they are still improv
ing and adding to it. The hotel is
he. !ted up with steam and lighted
with electric lights. It is more like
a pa lac j than a hotel.
Judge E.J. Aston still lives there,
and Asheville of to-day is greatly
indebted to him for its rapid growth
and present prospects. We found
himthe same jovial,social and genial
gentleman as in days ot youth.
Asheville without Judge Aston
would h almost dead. They aught
to elect him Mayor for life.
It was a pleasure to us to meet so
many of our old friends and ac
quaintances. Our hands were al
in si a ore. as' Groyer's, we had to
shake so much, aul yet our visit
was so short that we did not get to
sv-e near all.
The city is now lighted with elec
tric lights. The water woiks will
be the best in the Soutli s soon as
they are completed. The building
'(. im continues.
Mingled with the pleasuies of the
trip was one scene of exceedingly
deep sorrow. Just before arriving
at Asheville we heard of the terrible
railroad accident at Greer's, S. C,
in which an old friend and acquaint
ance. Mrs. Hamp McDowell, waain
st:: ntly killed, and others wounded.
The death of Mrs. J'. Hamp Mc
Dowell cast a gloom over the entire
city. She was the oldest daughter
of Mr Wm. P. Blair, a christian
lady, and loved by all who knew
her. She leaves a kind husband,
five little girls and a host of friends
to mourn her untimely death:
