Ciiicaco, III., August 9. Police officer
Fryer, of the Desplaines street sUition,
was shot anil killerl nt an early hour this
morning ill a street fight at the corner of
Harrison and Clinton streets. Officers
on the adjacent bents heard the shots,
and when they reached the scene, found
officer Frvcr lying dead with two bullet
holes in his body, and two men were seen
miming away. An alarm was sent out,
anil from their hiding place, liencnth the
sidewalk, two men sprang out as the
wagons approached, and ran along
Twelfth street, pursued by the police,
but they managed to dodge in among a
lot of ears, where they disapeared from
view, as if the earth had swallowed them
up. A squad of seventy-five iolicemcn
soon formed a cordo i about the neigh
borhood and searched every nook and
corner in it, without finding theobjects of
their search. The fugitives are supposed
to be John MeGraw and Win. Marcello.
I.chh Herlous than Reported.
Si'RiNiii'ini.n, III., August 9. Dr. Stark
weather, acting secretary of the State
board of health, returned yesterday from
Warsaw, where he has been investigating
the report of epidemic dysentery there.
I le said : "It is not as serious as reported.
The ease is partly due to a contamina
tion of the water supply, resulting from
heavy rainfall. During June and July
they had 10.07 inches of rain in some pre
cincts; last year there were only 2.1
inches, 'flic number of deaths this year
was thirty-eight. (II thai number nine
teen have died from dysentery since the
epidemic broke out July 1". Pour physi
cians of Warsaw gave me the figures for
the last three weeeks, showing 220 cases
treated. Three-fourths of these patients
are under twenty years ol age, and half
of them are under five years of age. My
recommendation was thai there should
lie a thorough disinfection iu a house to
house sanitarv survey."

rived last night, all destined for Ma.at
tan anil Panama. They are rcshipied
here without landing. But over in Mex
ico there is no difficulty in smuggling

whereas Mexico welcomes them.

will be first put up, ill which machinery
for making sash and blinds, doors,
mouldings, cornices, cic, will be made.
The company will also contract for
buildings, and with their extensive facili
ties, express ability to put up au eight
room house complete, inside and out, in
twenty-live days after receiving the or
der. A very important addition will thus
have la-en made to the similar industries
already iu existence here.

house on the site of the present one, the
following committees were appointed :

This church will hold a very important
meeting to-morrow (Sunday I at 11
o'clock, a. m. With an actual member
ship of over live hundred, ami a steadily
increasing congregation, il becomes ab
solutely necessary lo provide more room.
The church has wisely determined to re
build on its large and beautiful lot al the
corner of Spruce and Woodfin streets,
only one block from cilhcr of the two
street ear lines.
Kvery mcmla-r of the church is re
quested to Ik' present on Sunday morn
ing. The public is also invited.
Very Important Action.
A connection with Ruthcrforillon, only
thirty-eight miles distant, and the ter
minus of two important railroads, is of
all things desirable for Ashevillc. Il has
la-en talked of lor years, and since the two
roads referred to have reached Ruther
ford tun and there come to a halt, interest
and curiosity have both lieen on the ini
rive to see which would move this way
first. We may possibly soon sec. Col.
Frank Coxe, president of the Three C's
road, has appointed Col. Thad Coleman
as engineer lo make a preliminary survey
of a line lavtween here and Kuthcrfordton,
and lhat gentleman and Capt. Natl At
kinson will leave here Monday morning
on the survey. It is probable that a line
can la: run across the Ridge with much
greater case than by the accepted route
of Hickory Nut Gap.

ttl'NNIiT IIMVh,
Too Pretty to he Cut up With
Wood Waicons.
One of the happiest conceptions that
ever entered what may la-called a prac
tically romantic brain was that which
suggested to Dr. A. Toomcr Porter the
idea of making the steep, unapproacha
ble sides of Town and Smith's mountain
the track of a road or avenue for pleas
ure purposes. Dr. Porter pursued the
idea with his usual directness and enthu
siasm, enlisted other gentlemen in the
plan, and the result was the creation of
a tiind of several hundred dollars, by
which the attractive and well known
Sunset drive was uH'iied. It has certain
charms of its own. Il clings to the side
of the mountain for probably three miles,
halfway bctwuen the base and the sum
mit, half hidden iu the woods, but al
every turn exposing most extensive and
magnificent prospects. Owing to Un
skilful grading and judicious engineering.
the course of the road is almost horizon
tal, the ascent, after attaining the gen
eral level being almost inappreciable.
The road al once became a favorite drive
for citizens and strangers. But another
result followed perhaps not sanguinely
contemplated. Many line building sites
were exposed which were hanlly believed
to exist ; and already sonic i,f the most
beautiful ivsldcuecs around Ashevillc,
adding vastly to the charm of the laud
scaa attest the taste nud judgment of
those who occupy them. The road, as
we have said, was a private enterprise,
built altogether by private means, for
purposes of recreation and pleasure Iu
which the public were freely invited to
share. Bui only to the extent of such
pleasure and recreati unless the pub
lic assume its share of the burden and
cost of keeping the road in good repair.
is a public road or as a street, in what
ever character il is viewed by thcaut hoi-
itics. But we siihiuit that il in grossly
unjust to the projectors ol this enterprise
by subjecting them to the delc.it of t heir
purpose by the use ol lhat, to certain ex
tent, private enterprise to the ruin ol
the road by its use as a common wood
road, traversed daily by heavy loaded
wagons, by which the road is cut up be
yond all possibility of smoothness. If
the road is declared a public highway,
then the authorities arc hound to keep it
in repair; if not, private rights
ought to be rcsK-ctcil consistent with
the liberties accorded to citizens and vis
itors for ilk full enjoyment of lhat which
was brought into existence as a pleas
ure drive, not a public highway.
A .i;m iM- i.ovi; match.
They Met, They Loved, and Were
Happily Married.
The Knoxville Tribune iu sieaking of
the niarriaiic of our townsman Mr. F.
Rogers Grant to Miss Annie M. Boose,
of Maryland, ill that city, Wednesday,
says:
Yesterday at noon Mr. F. Rogers
Grant, of Ashevillc, North Carolina, and
Miss Annie M. Boose, of Cumberland,
Mil., were united in marriage at St.
John's Church, Dr. Ringgold officiating.
Only a select number of friends were
present.
At the appointed hour for themarriage
the bride entered the church on the arm
of her brother, Mr. A.J. Boose, who had
come Iroin Cumberland, Mil., to attend
the marriage, and he gave the lady
away. The bride wore a gray Mohair
traveling dress with handsome trim
mings and with hat and glovestomatch.
The groom was accompanied by his best
friend, Mr. II. K. Wingcrt, Mr". Charles
Adams and Mr. II. O. Miller acting as
ushers.
It seems that this is one of the lew
genuine love matches which are made iu
life. The parlies met some time since and
there was a mutual atlraclion which
ripened into their marriage. The rooin
is a popular citizen of Ashevillc where he
is engaged in business, lie arrived here
Tuesday. The bride is a lovely daughter
of Maryland, but has bci-ii here some
weeks slopping with Iriends iu North
Knoxville. These friends were the occa
sion of tin- marriage taking place here.
The newly weilili d pair left on the Fast
bound train lor a bridal lour. They will
sja-iul a few days al Tate's, and then go
to the mountains ol' New Kngluud for a
few weeks, after which they will return
to Ashevillc, their future home.

FORMAL APPLICATION
For the Necessary l.xlraclltiou
Papers In (lie Ballew Case-How
the Prisoners Took the News of
the I'ioclliiK nle ituues.
From chief of detectives W. II. Dcavcr,
who returned Irom Chattanooga yester
day, Tin- Crnzi: learns that an applica
tion lor a requisition upon Governor
lavlor, ol Iciincssce, for the delivery of
David Ballew and his wile, Mary Ballew,
io the liimcoinbc officers, will be scut to
'lovcrnor l-'iiwk to-dav.
Chicl Dcavcr has iu his possession the
bones alleged to have been found beneath
the hcarlhsloiic of llallcw's former resi
dence on liig Ivy creek, and showed them
to a reporter yesterday. There are six
or seven of these bones from various parts
ol the frame, such as ribs, small bones of
the arm, parts oi l he spinal column, etc.
From their size il is beyond doubt that
they belonged to a very youthful person.
Whether or not they are the bones ol
IMior little Ira Ballew, the child reported
by its parents to have so mysteriously
hsappeared, the conns alone must de
cide. They a iv human bones, and thev
were found, or alleged to have been
loiiud, beneath the hearthstones of the
miserable dwelling he had known while
living as "home."
The detective also staled that when he
arrested Ballew al his home in the St-
pintchic valley, in Tennessee, be was very
much excited, and when told thut the boy
had been found, tears came into his eyes,
lie was very nervous, and the twitching
if lus hands and lingers plainly showed
hal he was laboring uniUra heavy nun
al pressure. Not so with the wile, how
vcr. She was stubborn and indifferent,
xeepl when told bv deputy sheriff
Howard that the bov's bones had
iceii discovered. She turned ashen
pale at this .'iiinoiiucenii ill by the officer,
anil turning lo Mr. Dcavcr, asked him
where the bones were found. The de
tective told her thai he could not tell
her il ii nit thai, and in a few minutes her
lace resumed its natural color and ex
pression. She told the officers who made
the arrest, that, "if folks wanted to
swear lies agin 'em, lo hang 'cm, she
eekoiR-d thev would have to hang."
Not once did the woman break down
until she was taken to the jail at Chatta
nooga and locked up in a separate cell
from her husband. There she wept bit
terly and seemed much broken up.
The officers did not ipiestiou either
Ballew or his w ife about tin- affair, and
neither of the prisoners talked much.
Since l hey moved from Buncombe, Bal
lew and his wife have resided al different
times iu Texas, South Carolina, North
Carolina and Tennessee, going from one
place to anolher iu those States con
stantly. When arrested, thev were liv
ing in the Scipiatchic valley, about lorty
miles from Chattanooga, near Waldeu's
Ridge, in Rhea county. When the officers
with their prisoners left, llallcw's house
ud its contents were turned over to a
friend to look alter until he got out of
trouble. The detective says llallcw's
earthly possessions, outside ol a cr'V, a
lew pigs and chickens, arc small.
Ballew is about forty-eight years of
igc, while his wile is several years
younger. The lad who so mysteriously
disnpicuretl was au illegitimate child of
llallcw's by a woman named Gillespie,
who lived iu Rhea con ty, near bv where
he was arrested, and where he formerly
lived when the child was born. It was u
sickly, puny infant, and even al seven
years of age I w hen il disappeared I was
but poorly developed in stature and
physical strength.
It's a strange ami horrible story, and
there arc many mysteries surrounding it.
As soon as the requisition papers reach
Nashville Mr. Denver will leave for Chat
tanooga lo bring Ballew and his wile feu
this city, where they will be arraigned
for murder al Ihe next term of the crimi
nal court of the county, which convenes
iu ( Iclober.
A l)eervcil Compliment.
The Christian Advocate, of August ,s,
pays the billowing merited compliment
lo the new president of the Ashevillc
Female College, and his most estimable
and excellent wile:
North Carolina has gained much in her
educational woi k by the going of Rev.
S. N. Barker and lus wile Iroin Willis,
Texas, to Ashevillc. T hey are born teach
ers and managers. When they can licgin
at the ground and build such a college as
they have al Willis, no K-oplc need Icar
as lo their success. When any State
loses such holy, consecrated persons as
these il is no small loss, csavially when
their labor is iu the department of educa
tion. They leave a host of friends w ho
will look anxiously lor the day to conic
for I hem to return lo Texas. Plenty of
room lor such workers as they arc out
here. They have a standing welcome
back at many points.
