The Nashville axd Chaki-ectok Rail
Road.
The following, from the Knoxville
ftihune will be good news to our Graham,
" ain and Macon friends, as weTl to all
Western Carolina. The Ti ibune 6avs :
The Nashville and Charleston Rail-
way company has been moving quietly
out with expedition. The cotupau was
n:anizel to build a railroad from Nash
ville to Charleston. The road s.rikes
onth-ea.-t from Nashviil: acros th
umberland plateau. thet:.-e across the
Valley ot East Tennessee to the waters
of the Little Tennessee, th-nce with said
river tor some distance, finally passing
iut oi the Mate at liabnn Gap and
hence to tide water at Charleston.
We can announce most positiveiv that
the road will be built. The comnauv
which is backing it is one oTthe most
powerful ever organized in this cjuntry.
It has both English and American capital
lehind it. Amonpits American backers
is Mr. R. G. 1) r, of Don's Commercial
geary. The con? pan y does not ask a
'ollar of assistance from anv source. No
city, no county is asked to assist it.
r-ome months wnce four or five corps of
ntit eers were put in the field to survev
a route for the road. The work has bean
done quietly but thoroughly and the
urvey has been made from Nashville to
he coast country. The original survey
as not made bv way of Knoxville The
ompany has now de!ermined to come
oy way of our city. Just what route will
.ie followed is m t yet definitely known,
liut it is an absolute certainty that the
road will come to Knoxville. The
riginal surev rossea the East Tenn
essee at, or near, Sweetwater
The company has done no talking but
has been work iiitr- Mere than $100,000
has been expended in snrveys and other
oreparato-y wo k. The road, as stated,
wili foilow t'.f! l.iltle Tennessee river

will locate this part of the road in a few

The Citizen-
Is criticised by "Anti-Octopus"
for announcing the advent of an
other enterprise in this city. We
mentioned yesterday, and were
pleased to bo mention, th determi
nation of the standard Oil Compa
ny to establish a tank station in
this city. We already have one
tank station here, established by
the public spirit and pluck of our
townsman Mr. S. R. Kepler but
our well known opposition to all
monopolies impelled us to rejoice
at the fact that we would soon have
competition. We have no more
sympathy with a little octopus than
a Jargn one, or vtca versa oui we
do welcome all nterprinei to Ashe
vii:i-. -.crt the more ol Hie same
port tiie better. Ye, the Citizen
congratulate the public upon htw-
ins two tank Htations, representing
uinerent companies, m this cuy
The public will have to pay for
what it irets from either, and, so
lone; as we have two instead of one
concern to deal with, the public will
get their oil cheaper than they
would if but one held the fort.
Jackson Minerals.
Mr. ScLreiber, of Webster, called
to see ua yesterday afternoon, bri g
ins; wun mm some nne specimens
ot minerals from mines in which he
has an interest. Among these are
ores of nickel, genthite and girnier'
ite, both very rich. The former is
from the Willis and Schreiber mine
on the south side of the Tuckasee
gee river, and found apparently in
exhaustless quantities. He has also
fine specimens of kaolin or porcelian
china clay, decomposed feldsnar.
and remarkable fine specimens of
feldspar in its natural condition, the
combition ot which, with other ma
terial forms the porcelain of the

Mr. Schreiber is here with a party
of French gentlemen whose objects
are explained in another article.

Report of the Board ok Managers of
the Mission Hospital.
A yery neat pamphlet with th above
title, issued from the Citizen Jsb Office,
is before us. Its contents fully suiu.in
ad we said a few days since about the
work, usefulness, and neot-Ssjity ofthe in
stitution. The report is the second an
nual one for the year ending December
31st, 1S87. It sets forth the names ofthe
contributors with the amounU given in
money, and makes c'ateful acknowledg
ments for donations in kind and for valu
able services rendered.
In regard to these we are confirmed in
the justness of our conclusions as to the
nec6ity of th"? creation of more perman
ent resources, and especially as to the
obligation of permanent municipal aid A
glance at the list of contributions shows at
once the preeariounessofiuch resources.
Tt at which is ready and fertile to-day,
may the next day dry up and perish.
Piejudice or antagonism may arise, and
public interest lo-e its enthusiasm. The
itemized statement will demonstrate the
instability of extraneous reliance. Pay
patients contributed $543.85. Thi re
source may be permanent. Citizens of
Ahevillo gave $454.15. Strangers $315.
County appropriations $420. Church
collections $89 94; and there were receiv
ed from the proceeds of entertainments
given for the benefit of the hospital
$S3U 65.
The whole institution is thus kept
afloat by the unremitting labor of the
Board of Managers, by untiring. appea's
to the citizens of Ashevill for aid, by
the generosity of visiting strangers, a"d
by the enthusiasm of those whose artistic
accompliahmen b justify them in exercis
ing such in behalf of chanty and
humanity.
The whole foundation is thns seen to
be unstable, laid upon vaiiahln condi
tions. It must be laid deeper, broader
and more solidly.
lbs whole receipts from the sources
above named for the year 1887, including
a balance on hand at the beginning of
the year were $2,895.33, and th expendi
tures $2 782 94, leaving a balance on band
of $U2 39.
The report of the Physician in charge,
Dr. S. W. Battle is valuable and interest
ing as showing the character of cases
which arise in a resident population of
8.000, and a floating population many
times greater, all of whom equally par
ticipate in the benefits of the hospital.
There were 22 classes of disease and in
juries treated, some of them rare, some
very complicated. ifty-one patients
were admitted during the year; 37 Were
discharged cured. 5 discharged improved,
6 died and 7 remained under treatment.
Dr. Battle says:
"The total number of sick days was
2.278. This is mentioned, as it carries
wi b it some idea of the amount of sub
sistence furnished by the hospital," and
he adds, for the truth of which we can
vouch, that "the hospital ha enjoyed
the cheerful support and interest of the
profession of the city, voluntary service,
without fee or reward."
We renew our suggestion to the muni
cipal authorities.

Tarrifi Blizzard in Nw York and
New England.
New York. January 26. Reports
from eastern and northern New
York show that the storm is almost
as severe in these sections as it is in
New England. It began last night
and by morning over a foot of snow
had fallen. A high wind then set
in and the snow is piling up in great
drifts. A dispatch from Albany
says that all railroads centering
there are in bad condition and the
trains are many hours late, ihe
high wind is making matters worse
each hour.
An Associated Press correspon
dent at Midd eton reported the lim
ited express from St. Louis on the
Erie road fast in a snow drift one
mile west of that city. The track
at that place crosses low, flat mead
ows and the high wind has drifted
the snow until it is higher than the
cars. The limited had been in th
drift over two hours when the dis
patch was sent and as the drifts
are growing larger the, prospects for
it gettinff out soon are !oor. Three
other trains are stalled at the same
place.
Port Jarvis, N. Y., January 26.
Snow began falling at 6 p. m. yes
terday, and continued till this
morning, eight inches being added
to the mass already on the ground.
Early this morning the wind began
blowing furiously from the west,
making huge drifts. Travel on the
Erie Road is almost suspended. No
trains from New York have reached
here, though some have got within
a few miles of the village. An ex
press train from the west, which
passed through here at 10 o'clock
this morning, is stalled in a snow
bank. With the aid of two engines
it made but six miles all day. More
than a dozen engines on the moun
tain side, near this place, are mak
ing efforts to get through, ai led by
all the men possible to be secured.
All the freight trains have been
abandoned. The drifts on the rail
road in many places are'ten feet
deep. It is the worst block since
1857.
Whitehall, N. Y., January 2G.
A terrible snow storm is raging
along the west shore of Lake Cham
plain. It is the worst storm that
has visited this section for years.
Two feet of snow has already tVilleu.
It is drifting badly and trains are
many hours late.
Concord, N. H ., January 26 A
freight train is off the track on ithe
Northern railroad at East Aadover.
This, in addition lo the storm, will
effectually blockade the road. No
trains have reached here since last
night over the White Mountain di
vision of the Boston and Lowell
railroad and none have been .eent
out The snow still continues and
the wind has increased in forces .
Leading, Pa, January 26-t-The
worst snow storm that has . visited
this section for several years pre
vailed here to day. It was only
about a foot deep on the level, but
it drifted to such an extent ai.d was
accompanied by such violent wiud
that some ot the country roads are
simply impassible. The. trains on
the Reading railroad and branches
were all late from thirty minutes to
two hours, and on the Reading
and Columbia railroad train which
was due here at 2:30 this afternoon
is not expected in to night, as it is
lying between two snow drifts- at
Marietta Junction. At some places
along the road th snow has drifted
ten and fifteen feet deep. A similar
state of affairs exist throughout the
coal regions and in consequence
not a single collierv was in opera
tion this afternoon, and not a ton of
coal has been shipped since yes
terday. Twoofthr Bird Coleman
furnaces at Cornwall, Lebanon
county, and one at Chestnut Hill,
North Columbia, blew out to-day
because of of the scarcity of coal.
Boston, Jan. 26. Reports this
morning from various poiuts in
Maine.,' New Hampshire and Ver
mont state that the heaviest snow
storm for years prevailed all night,
and in most places is still fnowing.
The snow fell from fifteen to eigh
teen inches and travel is gieatly irn
peded.
A dispatch from Bellows Falls.
Vt.. eays: A solid blockade of snow
exists in all directions to day.
There was previously about two
feet of snow on the ground nd last
night a heavy fall $f eighteen
inches added to the previous
amount. It is still snowing and a
high wind is piling it in all direc
tions. No trains have arrived or
left on any of the roads. The same
conditions are reported within a
radius of twenty-five miles
Bradford, Me., reports the roads
everywhere blockaded, and up to
eleven o'clock to day t.o train has
passed there over either dir-ction of

about the city are al:no?t impis-a-ble
and none of the schools are in
