C, Oct. 19 Under the pretense of trying to secure hone&t elections, the republican committee in j New York have placed live hundred men, whom they call private detectives, around the different lodging h( uses. The pre tense is that these men are to watch and keep off illegal registrations. The actual fact is that they are put there to register themselves and vote the republican ticket. It is finally announced that Secretary Blaine will return to Washington about the first week in November and resume his duties at the State department. Candidate Fassett declined to meet the silver tongued Grady on the stump to discuss questions of a political nature with him. Candidate Fassett is wise in this. He has made so many mis-state meats, which have been proven to be mis-statements, that it would not be well fottfrth4e run up against a well informed politician such as ex-Senator Grady is. The Union Pacific railway reports its net profits in the month of June to be $1,436,201 and for the eight months up to August 31st its net earnings were, $8,354,525. It is a singular fact that, while thee earnings are reported, the managers of the Union Pacific say that it is utterl' impossible for them to pay the debt they owe the government in less than twenty-five years. The cruiser Atlanta, one of the vessels started and contracted for by Secretary Whitney, was ssnt out from New York to relieve the Despatch, which was re ported to be wrecked on the Jersey coast. The Atlanta has returned to New Nork and the captain reports that they were in the most terriffic storm that he had ever seen and that the Atlanta proved herself to be a most seaworthy vessel. There was no structural w eakness about her as there was about the Dolphin.

Dr. CD. Smith, of Macon, recently visited Knoxville and addressed the Chamber of Commerce of that city in the interest of the line. "We copy from the Knoxville Tribune the following report of the proceedings, which is most encouraging: Last night's meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was in its quarters in the Minnis block, and it was the general meeting. A large number of members wTere present when President Ross called for order. Before the regular order of business was taken up Alderman Aiken intro duced Dr. Smith, of Franklin, Macon county, N. C , to the audience with the statement that the doctor had something important to say concerning a new rail road. Dr. Smith Legan his i em arks by say ing that Knoxville was the center of a section 500 miles long by 200 miles wide that was richer in minerals and timber of all kinds than any similar section in the world. The question that had long troubled the minds of men of progress was how to get this natural wealth to the markets oi the world at the least possible cost, and he had a plan by which not only this wealth but the product of a vtst agricultural region could be opened and ! Knoxville would get the largest per cent, of the profit. That was to build a rail road from Knoxville to Port Royal, on the A-lantic coast in South Carolina. The harbor at Port Royal was acknowl edged to be the best deep water harbor on the Atlantic coast. The road would take a southeasterly direction, passing through Franklin, N C, to Rabun Gap in "the Blue Ridge mountains, thence to Clayton, Ga , thence to Anderson Court House, S. C, thence to Barnwell and on to the coast at Port Royal. This road could be built with a lesser grade than any other through the moun tains. The rights-of-way could be easily obtained. It would be an independent ing railroad builder in Chicago. United States Appellate Courts. One of the new United States Courts of Appeals began its sittings in Chicago on Monday. The members of the court are Justice HarlaD of the Supreme Court, Judge Gre3hem of the Circuit Court and Judge Blodgett of the Dis trict Court, all of whom wore black sili gowns, after the practice of tne Supreme Bench. Judge Blodgett was called to sit in the new! court in lieu of the. extra cir cuit judge provided for by Cot gress, but j not yet .appointed. The courts of ap peals were created by act of Congress approved March 3, 1891. There is one court for each of the nine judicial cir cuits, to sit in the following cities: Bon ton, New York, Philadelphia, Richmond, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco. The appellate jurisdiction of the circuits is abolished, and appeals from the Dis trict and Circuit courts direct to the Su preme court are to be taken only in cer tain specified cases, the object being to relieve the Supreme court of the rap!d accumulation of business. The chief justice and the associate justices of the Supreme court assigned to each circuit, and the circuit judges within each cir cuit, and the several district judges with in each circuit are competent to sit as judges of the Circuit Court of Appeals within their own respective circuits. the Wcavemlle Dummy Railroad Cora- tlre determined to ttli at Ute at Wrtl pany met in Dr. J.

Jerrv Simpson, who has been trivel ing in the State, says that the farmers' vote with the people's party vote will be, he thinks, 150,000. Other people estimate it at 50,- 000 with the prohibition vote at 15,000. Anything in approach to the votes as the smallest figures given here will give Major McKinley the privilege of becom ing a private citizen for some time to come. It is very unfortunate for poor Ireland that even the death Af Parnell did not al lay the factional fight in the country. The Parnellites refuse to affiliate on any terms with the anti-Parnellites and are making it impossible for any union in the future. It is certain that one or the other factions must be beaten out of the field. Dillon and O'Brien have spoken in the kindliest terms of Parnell but have been finally forced to show up some facts in their o svn defense that do not speak well for his followers. Ilealy and the more hotheaded of the anti-Parnellites are doing just as the Parnellites have done; everything to widen the breach. Schoes of the ' Yfreck.

The speaker represented three compa nies already organized in the States of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina for the construction of the road, and for which various counties along the route had voted liberal sub scriptions. His plan was to get the busi ness men of Knoxville interested, secure a charter from the State of Tennessee for that portion of the road leading from here to the North Carolina State line and consolidate into one company and begin the construction of the line In his exploration of the route, the speaker had seen logs billed to parties in Liverpool, London and Germany await ing a tedious delay of months for transportation. After giving further details of the scheme, Dr. Smith thanked his hearers for their attention and took his seat. Hon. W. L. Ledgerwood followed and spoke of the railroad as contemplated by Dr. Smith. He said he came from Chat tanooga to Knoxville some time ago with a railtoad contractor who spoke of this same plan and its feasibility, and its grand results for Knoxville if it should ever be built, for Port Royal was at no distant day destined to be a coaling sta tion for the great steamers between New York and South America, and not only this, it would open the ports of all for eign countries to manufacturers of thi? section. He then offered the following resolutions which were adopted: Resolved, That the Chamber of Com merce of the city of Knoxville, have heard with pleasure the address of Dr. Smith, on the subject of building a rail road from the city of Knoxville to Poit Royal. What They Will do During the Win ter. The Young Men's Christian Associa tion has just published a very attractive pamphlet entitled "It Pays," which shows the winter plans of the Association and the privileges offered to members. Among these are a gynasium, with class diills each Monday, Wednesday and Fri day evening at 8.30 o'clock, bath rooms with tub and shower baths, evening classes in penmanship and bookkeeping on Monday and Friday evenings, a course of medical talks, practical talks, a star course of concerts and entertainments during the winter, and occasional social receptions. In addition are the reading room, library and social room to which strangers are particularly invited. The pamphlet can be obtained at the rooms of the Association, where the terms of membership and other particulars will be cheerfully given. Dubose. On motion J. R.

Carter and D. L. Reynolds. On motion each director was requested to procure as much subscription! to stock as possible at an tarly date. Messrs. J. A. Reagan, W. E. Weaver and T. Coleman were appointed a com mittee to draft by laws for the govern ment of the company. On motion the stockholders' meeting adjourned. A num'xr of citizens who were not stockholders were at the meeting and all evinced a determination to do everything possible to secure the early construction of the line. About $10,000 was sub scribed by these good people, and they expect Asheville to help .hem substan tially, as it ought certainly to do. That section of our county is rapidly building up and improving, and with this line trade which now seeks other markets would be brought here. A splendid line can be secured with very light gradest and we believe will pay when built. Let us all help our enterprising neighbors. the The Blue Ridge Conference of M. E. Church.
