Climate was climate last Sunday, with a vengence. The morning was bright, mild and lovelv, serene, and twilight with its gorgeous sun set glorious.

We mentioned. ;n our last issue that the murder case of young Ross in Polk county was being investigated by Detac tive Deaver of thiey city.

S. lbe nrst train took ZOO pounds of detective flesh in answer to tbe telegram. it was Z a. m. on the Zzd, when Land- runs was called out by the braktman. As Mr. D. struck the ground be saw the form of a man by the side ot a house; then cams a low long whistle and the two got together, latroduced each other. the other, heir.--; Mr. Lee Fisher, .who said : "'bee yonder patch of woods stands a boras for you to ride." "Where are e to go ? ',' inquired D. The answer was a fre. zinc one, as he said, "into the heart of tb.a -.Darx Catner." Every Jxidy . fir many miles has beard of thit locality with all ita bloodshed and eenecai law lessness. It is, of all places one that bith Siate and government officers object to go to. In this loathsome hootowl look ing country many revenue officers have forfeited their lives after moon shiners. Spur on, pistol in bolsters, they mounted their horses and away they went to the northward, over moun tains, hills, through deep dark caverns, most time in a hog trail. Fifteen miles was finally paaeed off, and they were- at the rendezons agreed uruaAr Mr. Fisher and Mr. John Rose the' brother of the deceased. It was well hp" in the day when they cot to the foot of the ruazed hill in rear of the house of the deceased There was the finest place to hide and keep comfortable that was ever seen out side of the limestone caves of Kentucky ana lennessee. a large shelving rock with a cave 10 feet back, large and roomy, and a crevise in the rock for tie smoke from - the fire to escape. The surviving brothers ot Ken Roes were there waiting for tbem with a -hearty welcome all around. Wark was at once commenced; the case talked over and plans laid, to fiud the murderers of Ben Ross. .Deaver waa called Leach, and waa to be praspecung for mica, which sticks out very prominently in that "Dark Corner," much so that one mountain is called "Glassy" Mountain. The younger Ross was detailed to go and bring more rations, and ask the widow to visit their quarters, that a starting point in the case, in the way of a motive for the murder might be had. While be was gone Fisher aad oar detective climb ed to tbe top of the bill, from where, many miles around was open for inspec tion to tbe eye. There waa the "Hog back," the 'Glassey." the "Pinnacle." the "Fennel Top," Ac., in view, greatert among the e was the "Hogback" whose head reached high enough to lick th frost from the tops of tbe great Blue Kidge range, it is the South Carolina Hogback, not our own in Transslvania county. Fisher was at home in tbe wilderness having hunted moonshiners there for many years. Not a branch for 20 miles s juare. but what he had been on. He pointed out the noted places, here was the home and hiding place of the noted Redmond the outlaw. In view waa the smoke standing in semi-circlea against the distant mountains and hills. near by they could see wieathsof saioke from three or these manufactures of the "mountain dew," the screams of the Bald tArl9 was as common there, as that of tbe crow here in Spring timn. Dark drove them to their cave. Not long had they to wait till the young Ross and the widow came. She was a good looking lady about 30 years old. with keen black sparkling eyea. with long jet black hair thrown over her right shoulder. After suDDer. Mr. D. asked Mm to state all she knew about tbe killing of Tears trickled down her cheeks as she said: "On the night of the 2d tiis month, my husband was lying before tbe fire on a pallet baking his feet; he had been sick all day, and just after dark, perhaps an bonr, a shot gun was fired through the a indow and tilled my hus- Danu iuu oi Ducasnot. nejumpauupand hollowed oh I Lord I am killed.' and fell dead upon tbe floor.

I opened tbe door, Bea was behind aa with his gun, then a flash of a pistol, and a shotgun, showed the man's face to me plainly he is the murderer ot my hushand as lyerallv beli ve."

A swift witness I was to wear that when tbe Jatal shot was fired (it was in hearing) the suspect ! waaeatingaupper.Tbat day told the tale of tna brutal murder, and it was decided at the cave that night that warrants were to be. teased for Wm. Howard, Reuben Suddetb, and Wm. Moon as the n.urder era of Ben- Ross. After supper at the Ave the surviving Ross brothers were out and gone to Esq. Mitchell's, 8 mile away to get tbe warrants, and place them in the hands of the constable Thev were to return bv 10 o'clock next day and all were to -meet at t'.e house of tbe widow. Kova.

It seamed like all hands were about to be there; even the suspects wro there. fc.varv man bad a gun and a bottle of whisky. One old man took charge of the crowd, and would call out. "Ring;" then the men would form a ring -uram" all drew bottles and drank. rhis was repeated several times, when a bird flew over, and one fellow fired away and missed. Then came "iing"and 'dram; '"throw up tbat hull you shot oil at that bird, cried one. Up site went and alt hands fired, and the paper shell tell to the earth as so much lint. Then they commenced grooping and a voice; "111 take that izen-gUus cuss by the arm and lead him down the road and tell him ne need our izen glass ourselves." "He may be a revenue-izer and I think that is who he is. Spose I test him bovs." "No," not now says another, "less ma e him drink, and maybe be will catch himself " 'Ha, izer come here; take mountain dew-drops," and he did as suggested. Moments were like hours to our detective. He said to bimsel!.- Will Fisher and the Ross brothers never return." He was satisfied that the crowd was becoming suspicious that he was a revenue spy. They started a song burlesquing the revenue service. "Say. izir are you a good trotter. If you are a revenue izer you had better try your band. Five such rascals have come here and it has been so dark they never got away vet." Twelve o'clock bad passed, yet no tidings from the friends of tbe detective. Bang, bang, bang, went a shot gun in a distance, which was repeated several times up the road. Five or six men ran round to the turn ot tne road; the others formed two hollowed squares around the Chief of the Pinion Detec tive Agency. Those '-little words were said to himself, as be thought that the secret was out and the Ross brothers bad bean waylaid and shot. He told the crowd tbat iid waated a drink of water. "Go in the house and get it," said one or two. The bouse two or ihree steps away. He whispered to Mrs, Ross to run down the mountain below tbe house and when out of siht scream for heln as loud as she could. "Yes," she says, "I an uneasy for you every moment. "God send Mr. Ross' brotherson quick." Deaver returned into the crowd, trving to brave np and show no uneasiness. A moment passed and such lamentable screams were never but once before heard in these digging. The crowd, amazed, all started at an instant; as they turned tbe house corner, Deaver was making time to a clump of bushes about fifty yards off in another direction. It worked well. About the time the bushes were reached, he saw coming, in full gallop. Fisher and tbe Rasa brothers, and he came leisurely back. They and the dis gusted crowd all met about the same time When the order was given "riug," "dram," &c, came in again, a few words were passed by the Ross boys and Deav er, they telling that the constable would not execute the warrants, and that they had to go to Greer's Station and tele graph the sheriff, who was expected next day to make the arrest. Sheriff Gilreath arrived Sunday night and made arrest, and, with a strong guard set out for Greenville, where a preliminary trial win be baa. I . ! -. 1 City Schools.

One of the manufacturing institu tions of this cily that has reason to be proud of the success it has at tained is the Asheville Tobacco Works, located on Patton Avenue, and operated by Mr. Fred A. Hull, a former resident of Michigan, who came here in the fall of '84, and to gether with Mr. C. C. McCarty, be gan the manufacture ot all grades of chewing and smoking tobacco. New and improved machinery was purchased and the present large and commodious building erecUd. At first, sales of the man ufactured ' weed" were not us large as might have been desired, but an indomitable energy t honest goods and equare dealing soon opened unto the new enterprise the high ways of prosperity and public favor. At present Mr Hull employs for ty bands, and the capacity of his works is two thousand pounds of manufactured tobacco per day. Among his leading brands of chew ing tobaccos "Nip and Tuck" end "Alto-Leaf" lead the list, and in ainoking tobacco tbe far-famed "Ju naluska" is a specialty. Three traveling salesmen are kept on the road all the while, and the principal shipments are made -to the New England and Western States. H:s trade in the Southern States is not very large, owing to the fact that the grades he manufac tures find a better market in those States mentioned.
