Htranice Accident to a Horse and Two Men. Nkw Yokk, November . The electric light current this morning roasted a horse to death, threw a driver to the street and knocked a police sergeant senseless, as in Fleet's ease fatal current was carried to its victims through the telephone wire. A big pole carrying num berless wires stands nu Fourth avenue, near corner of Twenty-eighth street. Sometime near 4 o'clock this morning, one of the wires ol the telephone line fell to the street and formed a loop across down the track of the Fourth avenue railroad. S ion after it fell, Thomas Whelan, driver of the Herald delivery wagon came along. The horse stepped on the apparently harmless wire and in stantly came to halt and then sprang aside and fell. Jolt of the vehicle threw Whelan to the street, and when he arose to his feet received a shock which t ' ew him prostrate into the gutter. Regaining his feet again he undertook to raise his horse, but as soon as he touched the animal another shock passed through him. He then comprehended the cause and lay still. CitizensHttracted to the scene noticed flashes of blue flame emitting from the prostrate animal. The flashes came from all parts of the horse's body and the smell of burning flesh was perceptible half a block away. Whelan was assisted to his feet, but the horse was given a wide berth. One man ran to 35th street police station and re ported the matter and Sergeant Al bert McDonald and Roundsman Thomas Cassadv hurried to the scene Thev saw the animal still emitting sparks ot tire , and calling out all reserves a guard was j established at points sufficiently far from I roasting animal to warn all wayfares from Hearing the fal spot. Sergeant McDonald undertook to find the deadly wire, and in making a turn around the wagon he came in contact with it in the . darkness. The wire struck him on the forehead. He fell to the pavement sense less as though he had been shot. Bouiids man Cassady went to the rescue of his stricken companion and when he caught hold ot the sergeant's leg he received a j shock which conqieHed him to release his hold, the second ellort was more suc cessful, and soon after being carried to the sidewalk the sergeant slowly re covered. His head was covered with am jdiove his brow was the inl ,inllt ()l tle wlre WMC ,esidc it was a gasn evidently occasional uv the tall. He was dazed and almost helpless, so that he was obliged to go home. About 5 o'clock, tqi to which time the horse continued to roast slowly, it oc curred to some one to send to the electric light company's shop in West 20th street. Foreman Knight and two linemen visited the scene, wearing rubber boots and gloves and found the deadly wire, on the end ol which the Horses bo.lv lav. 1 ney t ii t :. -i ....... ...... ...i UOIIDI lilt !.uv.ctr.r. ii nit mini, .mi.ui a, :- tem ol voting, and testimony from all sections of the State is almost unani mous in its praise.

While voters expressed their pleas ure at being able to vote without the usual solicitation in the in terest of one candidate or another, ward officers were also delighted at being able to attend to their duties with out being disturbed by the customary bustle and disturbances outside the rail.

Coi.rMiii's, Ohio, November 5. The election in Columbus was one of the most quiet ever experienced in this city. The monotony was scarcely varied by an incident worthy of note. The weather was superb, and the Republicans early thought this was an omen ol success. The rcgisti.ition machinery made the voting one of form, rather than excite ment. The indications are that the regis tered vote was gotten out. The polls did not close until 0 p. 111. Thc Republi cans, however, are hopeful of the result. A tally has been kept on the head of the ticket in one precinct of the sixth ward, .nd it shows that twenty Republicans scratched luirakcr, and the Republican vote is about 100 shnrt. Should other precincts of the city show a like illmg olf, anil strong work against the head of the ticket, the republican defeat in lie nothing but overwhelming. Cincinnati, Ohio, November 5.

The Opeulnic of the Fall Term of IhlH Tribunal Yesterday. This tribunal was called to order yes terday morning, Hon. R. P. Dick presid ing, and the usual number of witnesses and defendants in attendance bom .-ill parts of the district. Clerk Reed was in charge ol lusdcpart- ment, and with the assistance of deputy clerk Moore, the following grand jury was drawn : Ii. C. Laukford, foreman ; D. C. Allen, Waites Coodinan, W.J. Worlcy, J. J.Col vard.J. A. Reeves.J. M. Lyda, I). M. Con- nallv, H. H. loncs, W. F. Davis, A. B. Welch, A.J. Roberts, James Parks, J. R. Abels, Ceo. Jacobs, John Maverick, Ceo. Clements. John L.

After being charged by his Honor in his peculiarly able, concise and compre hensive style, the grand jury retired to their private apartments and began their labors, while the court carefully in vest i- ited those cases in which true bills had ihea.ly been found. A majority ot these were for oll'enses of not very serious ehar- icter, and in many of them nol pros was entered by the district all. mey. Of those submitted to jurv trial Benjamin Dock- cry, of Cherokee, and Fhcn May, of Clay, were declared not guilty. The streets, sidewalks and thorouh- lares ol Ashevillc presented a more thronged appearance than we have ob served for manv a day, and the happiest if our citizens were the stockholders ol the electric railway; in tact they seemed to beam with absolute satisfaction as ! their ears passed to and fro each crowded i to suffocation. Indeed, we wish thecom- panv could put more cars into service ; it would tend both to the comfort of their natrons and add to the plethoric condi - tion of their treasury. Many of our vis itors enjoyed locomotion by lightning uowcr for the first time, and it was as good as n circus to hear some of the re-1 marks that were called forth. Poor aud Needy. "our women and nineteen children in one neighborhood among the mountains in this county need assistance, to help them through thc winter. Half of them are widows aud their families and the others are unfortunately no better oft'. Twenty-three pairs of shoes, as manv suits of clothes and forty six pairs of good stockings will help them through. Clothing of any size or kind will lie util ized to the last scrap, bedding, odd pieces of tableware or cutlerywarc, while "money answered all things." What ever is left at this office will be sent to its destination. Let us take some stock in this enterprise. Opening (tale. The opening sale of the Alliance ware house took place yesterday, Novenilier 5, consuming the entire afternoon, and the success was beyond what was exiiccted. There was a large quantity brought in that had to lie held over for want of room after the floor of the house had been crowded with some 20,000 pounds of the weed from Buncombe, Haywood and Madison counties. Tlie tobacco wasnot, by any means, a fair sumple of thc crop grown in this section. Notwithstanding the rush on the market tor the past week, these sulcs were very satisfactory. JIAVOK't) COl'KT. A Very Heavy Docket and 68 In KlueH Collected. Mayor Blantoif scourt was very largely attended yesterday morning, occasioned by tlieeirculati.nl of the statement that seventeen persons had been arrested by thc police force the night previous upon various and sundry charges of disregard ofthe ordinances ot the city. And it was a rough congregation, sure; the hardest, his Honor himself told the re porter, that he has hail the misfortune to face during his administration. The unfortunates were disposed of as fol lows; A. Caldwell, carrying concealed wea pons, fined $10; J. L. Carver, drunk and resisting the officer, $10; R. Anderson, drunk, $7.50; T.J.

When Tin; Citizkn is led into an error of statement, particularly of one involv ing character, it makes no hesitation in promptly correcting it, as far as in its power lays. Therefore, we make the fol lowing correction of a publication made by us a few days ago on authority so official and persiimably authentic, that we made no hesitation in accepting it as such, and giving a publicity, needed for the protection of our citizens. We an nounced in our issue, on thc authority ol Mr. W. H. Denver, chief of the Pinion Detective Agency, that confidence men, unknown to the authorities, were prac ticing their arts here, and putting the public on guard against them. In the next issue, we announced that one ot them had been arrested, taken before a magistrate, and had given security for his appearance for a farthercxamination. That examination was had yesterday beloie lisquire A. T. Summey, and re sulted in the prompt and complete ex oneration of the accused, Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Wiley, assistant engineer ol the Richmond and Danville road, a gentle man long and favon.bly known to us, was able to bear testimony to the fact, that Mr. .Mitchell was with him all the day on which the alleged offence was committed, Mr. Chase, conductor on the train on which Mr. Mitchell usually traveled, stopped here yesterday, and gave similar testimony that of Mr. Wiley. There was no ' evidence, other wise to connect the identity of Mr. Mitchell with the oll'ences charged, and Mr. Summey was so perfectly satisfied with his innocence, that he disilurged him, completely exonerated. The testimony to the unimpeachable good character of Mr. Mitchell was am ple. The injury done by the publication is one for which we are not culpable. We gladly give the exculpation the same publicity as that given to the publication of the offence. UKNDRAI, CITV NV.WS, A marriage license was issued yesterday to O. A. Lavcn and Ftt.i Coldsmith. Overcoats were slightly in demand yes terday, owing to the cool northwest breeze which was blowing all day. The members of the Woman's Cuild of Trinity parish arc reminded that their meeting is at 3.30 this afternoon at the corner of Chestnut and Charlottestreets. The district stewards of the Ashevillc district M. Ii. church, South, meet in the city to day for the purpose of laying out the business of the ensuing year. Cards are out for the marriage of Mr. C. M. Mathisand Miss Maggie D. Hard ing, which will occur at the Central Methodist church to-morrow, Thursday morning at 8 o'clock. We arc requested to state that Ceneral Vance was unable to attend thc ap- poiutmcuts of Colonel Long, on account : of the absence from home of his two ; sons. I'lion the Ceneral devolved the duty of "keeping the fences" in order. Ill view of the use of the Opera Hall next week by the Corton minstrels, wc announce in advance of all complaint, that the hall will Ik put in apple pie order; floors, vestibule and steps swept and cleaned, so that thc most fastidious shall not be olVendcd. Till-; RAMOTH Nl.WS. We Kxtend CoiiitratulatloiiM to Our Contemporary. Wc noticed a few days ago the advent upon thc stage of journalism of this bright little neighbor under the guidance of a precocious voting la.lv vet in her teens. Miss Willie Ray, our professional sister, now has our sincere congratula tions upon having received a large and valued addition to her subscription list, even from distant Dakota. The news agent, who we prophecy, will rind ready sale for his order among his conqicers is a buck rabbit, of immense size, if wc may judge from the length both ol his cars and tail, which lie enclosed as security that the cash would soon follow. We wcre especially pleased with Hrer Rab bit's caudal npiiendagc; it was pure white, soft as ermine, pnd about nine inches in length. We wish our molly cot ton tails would emulate their north western brother, and that some North Carolina subscribers that wc know of, would adopt his example of paying us they go. THE KINDERGARTEN. WHAT T1II.V AHi: DOINU IN THIS COl'NTKY. Their Influence For c;ood In the Kormatiou of character. Him Ilecu Felt In Kvery City Where They Have llcen ICHlabllHhed. From Century Mauaine. One of the peculiarities of the philan thropy of the present time is the em phasis it gives to the value of preventive work. Never before has so much atten tion been given to childhood or so much importance been attached to the forma tive period of life. Statistics show that the country is producing more criminals in proportion to the population, and younger ones, than it produced twenty-five years ago, and the cause of this alarming stale of things is found to be in the neglect of childhood. It is seen that the tendencies ol'intancy, wlictlur fir good or for evil, crystallize into the chnrnclcrof maturity, and the philanthropist, weary offruit iess etl'orts at relorining, is seeking for means of forming wisely and well. The home is the proper place for begin ning, but in many cases there .are practi cal dillicultics in the way, and thouglit i'ul people are tin ning with hope to the mission kindergarten, which, whether re garded from the standpoint of the educa tor, the social relortner, or the Christian teacher, contains possibilities of preven tion and upbuilding not to be found in any other available agency. It is adapted to children of three years if age, thus meeting the demand that in ionic way the years below school age shall be utilized for the highest educa tional purposes. Tlie training of the kindergarten in, 'link's the whole child. Fur his hands there is delightful occupa tion, through which he learns to love work and lo respect himself as a pro ducer of that which is useful and beauti ful ; there is well-directed activity for the busy brain; and, above all, the higher faculties of love, joy, sympathy, aud reverence are brought into constant and healthy exercise. During t lie last decade interest in the mission kindergarten has been growing, until there is now ill the country scarcely a city that has not one or more such institutions. More than ten years ago Mrs. Ouincy Shaw began the work in Boston by establishing in the worst quarters of tlie city about twenty kindergartens, into which the children of the lowest classes were gathered. Well-trained teachers were employed, md the whole enterprise was under the wise and efficient superintendence of two kindergarttiers. It is the testimony of lite police that tile moral aspect of whole neighborhoods has been improved by these institutions. That the system is believed lo have a higheducational value is proved by the fact that after so thorough a trial il was last vear adopted as a part of the public-school system of I hat cil v. In Philadelphia, a few years since, a similar movement was started as a re sult ofthe thorough work ofthe Society for the Organization of Charity. It was found that, in the homes and haunts of' the pauper and criminal classes, children were growing up in appalling conditions of ignorance, idleness, and vice. As it was lelt that the only remedy for exist ing evils and the only hope lor the future lay in vigorous preventive work, kinder gartens were established in every ward of the city, xind the satisfaction they gave led to their adoption as a sub primary department of the public schools. In San Francisco, mission kindergar tens, established as an oll'set to the hoodliunism which threatened the safety of society, are now the most popular of all the philanthropies. In Chicago, St. Paul, Cincinnati, and Brooklyn there are efficient associations of this kind, and ill St. Louis the kindergarten basforsevcral years been a pari ofthe chool system. New York has many of these missions; bill with a tenement house population of 1, loo. Iioo, of whom more than 12,000 .ire under five years of age, and with a constant influx of the lowest class of foreigners, it is felt that this is a time of emergency to meet which extraordinary efforts are necessary, and a movement has been started looking lo theestablish ment of kindergartens throughout the city. Anohi.ini; Bhooks. Tiei; kimh:ki;arti:. An Able Article on tills Import ant Matter. We call attention to an article from the Century published on this page. We owe much, very much to the kind, sympa thetic, energetic ladies who are making every ellort to extend the system here. Il is already partially in use, and with happy results. I'lion the interest mani fested by parents depends tile success of the further efforts to add to the numbers of those who are to be brought under the beneficent influence of the system. "Just as thc twig is bent, the tree's inclined;" and Ihe future of the child hangs upon the fact whether it is started on its path way in life right or wrong. The kinder garten system is a kindly, aflectionuie one, and enlists the interest of intelligent curiosity without putting too heavy a strain upon the mental faculties; nnd while there never has been, nor ever will be found, a royal road to learning, the road may be made much more smooth and pleasant than thc old time way, though compatible with educational training. Wc simply introduce thc subject now to direct attention to the .article referred to. Subsequently we may say a good deal about kindergartens. I'liHSUNAI. MICNTION.
