The discus sion will review the "Blocks of Five mat ter, of the campaign of 1888, when Woods, as district judge, was accused of preventing the indictment of the writer of the letter reputed to have contained the phrase quoted, and ot having quashed about two hundred indict ments in the federal court, made, it is claimed, against men guiltv ot bribery.

The senatorial contest this morning shows hopeful evi dence of early solution. Last night Senator Parker, of Cuya hoga, declared irrevocably for Foraker, and this morning Senator Rawlings; ol Clark, came out for Sherman. This is a distinct gain of one for tbe Shermanitea. The Sherman people now claim the sup port ot senator Lampson, president pro tempore of tbe senate, but the Foraker people also claim bim. Senator Sherman, on being questioned, said : "I have received assurances that Lampson will cast bis vote for me." T HE BLATANT FORAKER.

It is definitely settled that Speaker Crisp will not call :he house to order tomorrow. The speaker continues to improve in health, but his recovery is very slow. Tbe speaker has not seen any member ot the house since tbe 23d ot last month, except Representative Catchings, of Mis sissippi, with whom he talked for a few minutes yesterday. He advised the speaker to rest for a week or more be fore resuming his duties. Nothing was said about a speaker pro tem and Mr. Crisp did not indicate his preference. There seems to be a general belief on the part of democratic members that McMillin, of Tennessee, should be selec ted. A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IT OCCURS ON THE MURPHY BRANCH TUESDAY.

News was received here late this after noon of a terrible wreck that occurred on the Murphy branch of the Western North Carolina railroad about 1 o'clock. about forty miles west of Asheville. A freight train was going east, and on reaching a heavy grade beyond Balsam the engineer had to 'Rouble" to get his train over. In doing this be lost control of the engine, and it dashed down the grade. When it reached the Dark Ridge trestle it left tbe rails and fell to the bot tom of the gorge, and into Scott's creek. Tbe engineerf Sam Francis, of Ashe ville, tbe fireman, B. B. Arthur, and Ru fus Hemphill, a colored train hanrf, were instantly killed. The trestle was about 100 feet long and about 20 feet high. It was par- tially demolished. THE SCALPING" CASE. Chief Justice Merrlmon's Decision In the Ray and Clarke Matter. Criminal Court Clerk J. R. Patterson has received tbe decisions of the supreme court in tbe' case of the state against C? F. Ray and W. M. . charged with "ticket scalping.' : decision is by Chief Justice Mert , and in reversing the decision of the lower court says: "In this case the indictment fails to charge tbe offense prescribed and defined bv tbe statute. It charges tbe sale of a single ticket and fails to charge that tbe defendant sold or bought, and sold or dealt in such tickets, as a business, as it should have done. Tbe special verdict of the jury is in harmony with tbe imperfect indictment. The court ought, therefore, to have adjudged that the de- icnaant was not gumy, ana uu uc ku without a day. The judgment must be reversed and judgment entered in favor of tbe defendant as indicated." THB CENTENNIAL. The Buncombe Historical Com mittee Meets This Mornlna;.
