break through the snowdrifts have
completely failed. Not a train

condition of affairs. The passengers
suffered great discomfort. The fer

Baltimore, March 13. The tide
yesterday was lower than ever
known in the memory of the old
wharfmen, being at least twelve
feet below the lowest of ordinary
low water, and as a consequence
many deep draught vessels lying in
the different docks were grounded.
At the County dock,foot of Broad
way, the water was so low that the
bottom was bared and persons
could walk dry shod on the soil
thus exposed.
It is the opinion of the old bar
captains that Sunday night was one
of the worst ever experienced on the
Chesapeake bay, and the notice of
the storm was so short there have
doubtless been many disasters
which will be reported as soon as
the vessels begin to arrive. No ves
sel could live in the bay Sunday
night.

The Charleston Sun says : The
details of the recent murder com
mitted on Adam Buff, gatekeeper at
the Broad River Bridge, Columbia,
South Carolina, a report of which
was in yesterday's San, show it to
have been one of the most cold
blooded, black-hearted and preme
dilated that has occurred for many
y ears in that vicinity. Mr. Buff was
an old man of some seventy years,
and his wife, who was outrageously
beaten, is about the same age. An
attempt was made to burn their
house after the assault, and a lounge,
several pillows and bed quilts had
been saturated with kerosene oil to
accomplish this purpose, but the
flames were extinguished before
any damage was done. It is sup
posed that the murderer was after
money, which if is said Mr. Buff
kept in his house, near the bridge.
William Johnson a negro, in Colum

RACKET STORE ITEMS.
We invite the attention of the peo
ple to the fact that we continue to re
ceive new goods. Barred Muslins,
Lawns, a new lot f Hamburgs, Tor
chons, Corsets, Kid Gloves and a job
in ladies' Dongola Kid Shoes at $2.44
a pair, which we defy the trade to
match for the price. Children's and
Misses' School Shoes ingreat variety,
at prices which"always sell them. A
full line of all tke standard novels at
12c. per voluaie, 25c. elsewhere. A
new lot of Mats, Rugs and Hassocks,
while our stock of household-using
things is kept complete, with additions
made daily in all the labor saving and
convenient utensils we can find.
Cheap Pencils! well, you would
think so if you could see the lot we
have in store. One dozen or one thou
tsmid dozen, just as many as you
want, at 6 CTS. PER DOZEN. Our
price is less than nine-tenths of the
merchants in Asheville paid for the
same pencils at wholesale. Wc are
fortunate in being connected with a
house that has ample capital to hunt
up and buy everything that the peo
ple want, wherever it can be bought be
loio its market value. A lot of Men's
Fur Hats, fine goods, just in, are an
example of our facilities for getting
goods under the market, only one or
two of a style, we are selling them at
98c. to 81.58 each, and we' could not
buy them in the regular way under
821 per dozen. We ask doubters to
call and examine them. They were
sent to us as a job. We did not know
they had them, but knowing that we
can place bargains, they sent them to
us. Our Headquarters never get
hold of a particularly good thing with
out sending its a part of it. Our store
has lost none of its prestige as the
Bargain Store of Asheville, and we
contemplate putting in such a spring
and summer stock as will show our
appreciation of past favors. We can
show 'enquirers beyond the shadow of
a doubt that we (through our connec
tion with No. 466 Broadway, N. Y.)
possess facilities for getting goods
unequaled by any other store ia
Asheville, and we guarantee that we
can, and will, undersell any house in
town upon all lines except domestic
goods bought in this State, which one
man with money can buy as cheaply
as another. Come and see our geods,
and learn our prices ; by this means
satisfy yourselves. Don't buy of us
unless price and quality suit. We have
placed a larger order for our Woven
Corset, which has been so highly
praised, and which at 86c. is the best
value wc have ever seen in a corset.
We shall continue to make a leader of
it until we find something we regard
as better. We beg the ladies not to
buy a . high-priced corset until they
have compared it with this corset.
Very respectfully, ire,

Marriage that Took Place
Teaterdajr Morning at 3
o'clock.
Yesterday morning, about 3 o'clock
Register of Deeds Patterson was
awakened at his resideuce by the vi
olent ringing of the door-bell, and
upon answering the suaamous, he
was informed that a marriage license
was wanted, aud at once. A carriage
was standing at the gate, and its oc
cupants were Mr. W. F. Howard, of
this city, and Miss Carrie Miller, of
Asheville Junction, whe desired to
be made "flesh of one flesh" etc., in
ttanter. After some inquiry on the
part of the register about "consent
of parents," "objections," etc., he
concluded to issue the license, and
the matrimonially inclined pair at
once sought the services of a minister.
Dr W. A. Nelson, of the First Bab
tist church, was rung up an performed
the ceremony, and the party drove
off, supremely happy. It seems that
Mr. Howerd has for some time since
been paying attention to Mi-s Miller,
but his suit did not meet with the ap
proval of the young lady's parents,
so an elopement was planned which
successfully resulted as above stated.
The newly wedded couple are n iw
living in this city. The Citizen ten
ders its congratulations to the happy
pair, and wishes for them a long
life of happiness and prosperity.

Do Men Gather Fi gs of Thistles
It is as reasonable to expect figs from
thistles as to look for good results when
poor seeds are planted. If you plant an
acorn you cannot gather apricots, and
it you sow poor and old seeds you can
not have large and solid cabbage heads.
nor round and regular tomatoes, nor
perfect and juicy canteloupee. The
moral of thia is. Be sure you get good
seeds to avoid disappointment. Lan
dreth's seeds are regarded the best all
over the United States, and you can get
tne nest crop at reibam s urug store.
