STATE NEWS' FROM RALEIGH . -, J . The ensational . ; Railroad Commission Case. Effect of the Forcible Taki Posses sion of tlia Office. - f ' The Supreme Court s Decision That the Act for, Imprisonment for the Non payment of ' Taxes is Invalid -Heavy Christmas Travel. Raleigh, Dec. 25. -The railroad COTaimia3 ion case continues to be 'the sensation here. A ter '.he Supreme court late renderel its de cision ousiting the .two Wilsons from the bench of the 'commissioner's, the sheriff was ordered to take charge of the office and turn over all the effects to the new commussioners. - This -was not done quJok ly enough to suit the Russell appointees so alt midnight they took possession them selves. The door -was ibarred, but they forced lan enterance. This was done in the face of the fact that .the chief justice refused to sign tlhe judgment of the court. There was a writ of error and supereedeas granted to the chief justice, and filed with the clerk of the United Staltes court in a $10,000 bond. The . forcible taking poses Bion of the office by MessrsCaldwell and Pearson may cause them to 'be held for contempt of the United. States Supreme courlt. This writ of error was to act as a s'tay of execution. This' also means that there be a practical abolition of the office for at least the next six months, or longer unless the old commissioners are allowed to exercise the duties ctf the ol.ee. The Christmas .: travel , this year is par ticularly heavy. The trains have to be run in two sections: sometimses tocarry the passengers. Judge Cable has been appointed- by the governor to hold a special civil term of Iredell court beginning January 10. Judge Robinson is to hold a special (term of Guilford court January 3. The neiw commissioners declare they are not acting in contempt of Chief Justice Faireloth, or otf the United States Supreme court, itihat they 'were not notified of 'that writ of error. It is said thiait the governor .personally advised the pickling of the locks so as to let his men into the cxanimlssioners office, but that he told' the sheriff not to force the door. The only commissioner left on the bench has said that he would not serve with Messrs Caldwell and Pearson. He is out of itown and so it remains to be seen what he will do. The two morning papers here take ap posite sides on the commission matter. There was quite an exodus here of state officials yesterday going off for Christmas. The weather is very cold, but clear. Yesterday af teraoon, Caldwell and Pear son were forme'rally cited to appear-before the United States Supreme court January 20. Eaidh of .them drew $500 from the State Treasury' as a salary since Sep tember 24, the Supreme court having de clared thfat their term . ."-of office be gan that day the one on" which Governor Russell appointed them.

NEED OF AN AUDITORIUM. lidd'Dor of the Gazette: A few years ago a visiting correspondent of a Charleston paper wirote from Aeheville of its progress, citing its many and varied improvements and made the 'broad assertion, "that it had every thing 'uhata city of 'three times its size was expected to have and if it was suggested that it ought 'to have something it didn t have, it was at once ordered! Now this might as a rule, be true, but 'tis said that the exceptions to a rule prove the rule. The purpose of this article is to point out the exceptions. It has been a conceeded, and to some extent a discussed fact, that he two great needs of "Ashe ville" are, an aooessable "public park" and an "auditorium.'' Almost very week are we made conscious of the very 'great need of the "Auditorium" the asseanbjies, the conventions and numerous meetings of one kind and an other that "Asheville" might capture, had dt an "Audinance room" suited to (the demands of such oc casions, would be suprising in one year, possibly losing enough to nearly pay for the out lay in erecting the building. The places where a 'Tark and .Auditorium" could be had togeiuber, - are very scarce, and as this is exceedingly desirable, why sbouM not steps be taken at once to carry out the Idea and perfect the -plans? The sites can never be purchased as cheaply as now, nor can labor and imtaterials ever be gotten for as little money. Now is the accepted timej ' if we will tout accept ui hope to hear of a meeting called at an early date to move in the matter. CiNE CNF ASHEWLaJE'S OUU-TlMliilts. SHOOTING AFFRAY. Sylvan Valley news: Pink Williams ali&s Archae Young, a negro who was serv ing a sentence for house breaking, es caped from the guards in cnarge or tne county prisoners a few days ago, ana a reward of $15 was offered tfior his cap ture. Mr. Hester followed; and overhauled him almost inside the corporate limits of our quiet town. A call to surrender only caused a foot race and two snots wore fired with 'the hope of bringing, him to a halt. The only effect produced1 was to accelerate his speed and a third shot was fired! with the intention or enpnng him, but he gained the woods above Kings mill and was soon lost to signt. Mr. Hester, feeling certain that his last shot had wounded ithe retreating fugitive returned 4o town 'to await developments. On Friday morning the report reached rhere that a negro bearing the description of 'Williams was met on the railroad track about six miles 'below town, limping pain fully -'in the direction of 'HendersOnvilre. Feeling gratified that he had. not killed his man, and that he had probably scared him into territory too distant to be a menace to the citizens of Transylvania, Mr. Hester returned to bis home in Pick ens empty handed and without his .$15 re ward. -i During the past year the watchman of the Baltimore 'Fire Patrol- and Despatch Company found 492 doors open at night, 32 w'indows open, 40 fire shutters open, 3 safes not locked, 128 gates open, 155 lights burning when they ought to have been out and 102 not burning when they ought to have' been burning. Forlty-one Incipient ' fires were discovered and six teen cases of. burst water pipes were found. In , twen'ty- three cases goods were found left outdfoors and sixteen .persons were found, burst water pipes were found. In twenty-six Ins tanees the family wash had been 'left in the yard for thieves to pick over. i H ft i j 03 U bJO s a 0 o 01 ri 'a 9. A 9 r 1 VSj ) AT THE CHURCHES. Y. JM..C. A. O. B.

At- a musicale and supper Mrs. De forest suggested that the watermelon might aid the chorus. Scooping it out would make it holler. , "Pa," asked Johnny, "what grows in f. beer garden?" "The head, my son," groaned Mr. Jagway, applying some more pounded ice. ' There is. only one thing which is said to be worse than being1 called upon un expectedly to make an after-dinner epeech that is to prepare an after-dinner speech and not be asked to de liver it. i " In a Paris cafe, says a writer, I asked the maid whether she did not think the name on the menu: "Demi tasse'eafe atLlait frappea la glace," Was very in itiated for such a small cup of cold cof fee and milk. "Yes, madam" she re plied "it occupies the mind as well as the stomach." ... "PMt.rff H o C2 CO CD ,. i 03 O P t CD CO CD CD rnimn m top.
