The Cardinal said the laity Save a right and also duty of co-opcrat-jng with the clergy iu every good work affecting society, the country, and the church at large. The clergy and laity ought to come closer together, and the clergy in America have much to lenrn from the world by a knowledge and practical spirit of Ameri can laymen.

Testimony was also intro duced to show that Burke was without money shortly before Crouiu's murder, but immediately alter he was in funds, and was able to take a trip to Winnipeg. Other testimony went to show that Biggs had several limes, to different icn ple, endeavored to create the impression that Cronin was alive and would event ually turn up; that he had disappeared with a woman, and in other ways en deavored to create a false scent. The foieninu of the sewer cleaners described the finding of Cronin's clothes and case of instruments last Friday.

William I'itt Kellogg, of Lou isiana, is quartern! iu a inagniiiecii! suite nt the Shorelnim, directly over the head of Representative Cannon, 01 Illi nois. He has the most unique theory of Tuesday's convulsion vet presented. "When the smoke lias cleared away," said he, "study the returns from places where the colored vote is strong. You will find that the colored vote has be come indifferent and has staid n way from the polls, or has, worse yet, voted the democratic ticket. I have seen this thing lor weeks. Defeat stared the republican party in the face from the lime th.il President Harrison formulated his idea for southern reformation, lie lias de parted from republican platforms anil republican theories in attempting to build up a while man's party at the South. The three most suspicious things in the world arc a mouse, capital, anil the negro. He is ingoraut and unlettered lie doesn't tell what he knows, but he is no fool. He has wavs of communication we whites know nothing about. How was it that for years the negroes of Lou isiana carried "the State by NO.OtlO ma jority? They had no newspapers. I heard from ignorant negroes 2,000 miles from Washington that 'resident Harri son had discharged his colored employes. The negroes who told me the story could neither read nor write. How rlid they learn? The 1'rcsidcnt has excited then suspicion. No southern State can be carried by the republicans dining this administration, because the negro fears that it will not protect him iu bis rights. This is the result of the appointment ol ex-Confederates and protection demo crats, who will never vote the n-piiblieau ticket, to ollice. When the colored man stops voting the republican ticket, where is the republican parly: I hrcc-fillhs ol Che white vote ol America is democratic. Without the negro vote the republican party is dead. The negro controls the balance of power in live northern States, and twenty northern congressional dis tricts. Where will the policy of aliena tion stop? AIJRKIl.TIH.tl..

The best corn is in the Missouri valley as well as the highest yields. Saturating rains off tlieai-.isl region wilh insufficient sunshine have left corn soft ind chaify. The crop in high lauds, es pecially il well cultivate!, is ol a belter quality. Thc ridticiion of quality over large districts will induce rapid consump tion and limit stocks reserved for spring use. In the region ot commercial corn, the quality is generally goon, 1 he Irish potato crop is poor in yield and qualily ill 'he eastern and middle states.

' FIRE ALARM TELEGRAPH. A SYSTEM WHICH INHTANTIA LOCATES A I IHi:, 4rent AdvanljiKes Accruing From Such a System and I lie Small Cost of Introducing and Main lug It In all IarlH of the City. A special meeting of the City Council was held last night to considerthe advis ability of putting up a lire alarm tele graph system, and hear the explanations of the mode of operation of the Game well Fire Alarm Telegraph Company's system as given by their represent.-! live. Mr. J. D.Clarke, of New York City. The lire alarm telegraph consists of a central or battery station, the wire cir cuits of which connect the central sta tion wiui me street signal boxes; audi n alarm apparatus, consisting of electro mechanical bell strikers in church or oilier towers, electro-mechanical gong strikers located in engine houses, public buildings and residences of the fire de partment officials and indicators, show ing in plain figures the number of the signal box from which an alarm origi nates. Whenever a tire occurs Ihe information is given by signalling fioin the boxes. I'his signal is communicated to all the different gongs, thus giving every one information of the fire at one and the same time. If we suppose box No. 21 to be operated, the way of giving the signal is to unlock the door, then ta ke hold of a projecting hook and pull this two suc cessive times, then pause for live seconds, and then give one pull. This is repeated lour times. The manilcst advantages of such a quick method of signalling is loo evident to need any further comment. These boxes are provided with keys for code signalling. To illustrate the workings ol this, we can look at the way il is done in Raleigh, where this system is used. There when the lire is out the chief of the lire department gives information of this to the citizens by simply going to the box and giving three blows on a lever which rings the various communicating bills and gongs in the city. Also in that place sometimes increased water pressure is needed, and so they communicate this fact to the water works by means of sig nals. Thus the ordinary water pressure in R.-.leigh is twenty pounds, but Unseat! be increased to one hundred pounds when needed, and the chief can obtain greater pressure by simply signalling the strokes 12 three times ill quick succes sion. The system, now advocated, is in use iu 3;to places in the Tinted State such as Raleigh, Chattanooga, Birming ham, Nashville, Memphis, Wilmington, etc. The cost of putting up this system in Ashcville would be governed by a variety of different items, such as the style of the signal boxes used, and the kind of wire employed. Of course whether the city has to buy the poles or not would be an other item, resulting in quite a little dif ference in the expense. But thercare suf-li-ient poles in the city to carry all the wire, and it would merely nied the re quest ol the mayor m till probability to obtain the consent of the dilferent com panies to allow the city to use them for this purpose. The cost then of putting up this system without poles would be from $2,000.00 to $3,300.00, according to the value of the wire used. This would include the pulling up of fifteen signal boxes in various parts of the city. Now the wire may be of three diflcrcnl kinds, the galvanized iron wire generally used by the Western I'nion, which lasts from ten to twelve years, the hard drawn cop per wire, which has 110 wear out to il, and the insulated copper wire. The last two kinds cost from two to three limes as much as the other. The wire itself will cost onc-scvcnlhofthecnlircaniount of the estimate given above. Now as 10 the cost of keeping every thing in good running order. This de pends on the number of cells iu the gray it y buttery which furnishes the electric- it y. To furnish sufficient elcctrity for use in this place, a battery containing forty i-clls would he required, and the run ning expense per year is at the rate of from $1.00 to $1.2"i per cell, or an entire expense of from $0.00 to $"i0.0ll. per year. The strength of the battery is shown by a galvanometer, whose indicator should show a dcllcction of thirty de grees when the battery is in priqwr run ning order. It would work at twenty seven degrees, but such a decrease would betoken a very bail condition, and it is in this wtiy that the necessity for any re pairs is made known. By this means also any break iu thc wire is indicated as the needle of the galvanometer will then point to zero. .

VdCMi MICX'M DAY. Sermons Preached 011 Monday to Ashevllle's Youiijt Men. In response to a request of the Young Men's Christian Association the pastors at several of the churches in the city ad dressed their sermons on Sundav uar- ticularly to young men this being the week specially observed by the associa tions all over thc country. At the French Broad Baptist church Dr. J. L. Carrtdl took for his text the words: Is the young man Absalom sale," found in the 2th and 32nd verses of the ISth chapter of 2nd Samuel. Dr. Carroll handled his subject with great force, mid interest to his congre gation ; touching on the vital importn lice to young men of physical, mental, and above all, ol spiritual culture; of the de pendence of the home, thc church nnd the State upon the growing young men of the country, and thc necessity that they should be started and kept in the right path to insure thc safety ol those placet! under their care ami protection, anil eventually their own eternal safety. Dr. Carroll closed with a strong state ment of the benefits of the work done by the Young Men's Christian Association, mil an earnest appeal iu its behalf. Cli.NTUAI. .MI-TlloniST ClII RCII. Dr. G. C. Rankin, tit the 11 o'clock service on Sunday morning, took for his text a part of the eighth verse of the .irst chapter of the book of Daniel: "But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's incut, nor with the wine which he drank." The prominent thoughts in the dis course were that every young man and young woman should have a purpose in lite, and that purpose should be adhered to under any and all circumstances. Dan iel was a captive in a strange land ; he had been chosen as one of the king's household, and by order of the king la wns to eat certain food anil drink cer tain wines, but his early training in Jeru salem had learned him that meat was unlawful, having been consecrated to idols, and the wine was not such as h'.' ought to drink, and he purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself therewith. This showed principle. He determined to do right, though far from home and among strangers and away from all the associations and restraints of Ins early religious influences. He would not do as Rome did simply be cause he Wiis in Rome. Anotherthotiglit was that parents should zealously instill into the minds of their children the prin ciples of right nnd duty, and in doing so they could rest assured it would have its elVect. The conduct of Daniel was a proof of this. In the great and powerful city of Babylon, surrounded by idolatry anil all the temptations that could beset a young man, he maintained his integrity, even at that age when a young man is most liable to be drawn away, Daniel, at the time referred to in his text, being between fifteen and eighteen years old. Another thought was that God would prosper a young man or woman who stood by the right. Daniel became, not withstanding the stand he took against the orders of the king, the first man iu the great Babylonish empire, next to lin king. He closed by urging every young man in his congregation to connect himself at once with the Young Men's Christian Association. T KIN I TV CIIIKCII. The Key. Dr. Buxton took for his text from the 2nd chapter of the 1st Epistle General of John and part of the 13th verse: "1 write unto you. young men, Ikc-iusc you have overcome the wicket! one." The reverend gentleman fell into the line of discussion which seems to have been so generally nnd appropriately adopted for the day, the moral and reli gious interests of the young men. The text chosen would indicate of itself Un happy way ir. which the subject was treated, because, taking the example of Commendation given by the Apostle fin work well done ami conquest over "thc wicked one" the cheerful inference was that what sonic had done so well, all might if they choose, also do. It was not difficult to illustrate the gain of the conquest over passion and temptation early in life, the assured easy power of resistance when the first hard steps were taken, and the thenceforward easy anil pleasant paths of a life of virtue. It will be difficult for any man advanced tar on the pathway of life to look back upon it with nny other feeling than that of sorro w if his resistance had liecn weak and his yielding easy ; or without profound t bank fulness that, instead of lieing the victim, he had lived the conqueror. There is tremendous import iu the ex- pression ot the Psalmist: Remember thy Creator ill the days of thy youth. - Railway llullelln. Mr. W. A. Day, the accommodating agent of the East Tetiuesse. Virginia & r.eoriria railroad, has hiinir un in the p(lgtomcc a railway bulletin (printed 1... the wnv in Tim Citizkn iob show;ng the time ol arrival and depart- ure ot the east ami west bound trams, the time thcy are (,ue nm the nlinuU.s late, if any.

SERVICES Of Kdward Wefdin Sunday Afternoon. The funeral of Mr. Edward Weildi took place on Sunday at 2.30 p. m. His death was one of the saddest that has ever been known in Ashevillc. There was not only the stillness that arises from seeing any high energetic young man cut off when he has just stepped over the threshold of life, but that dee)cr feclin which can only exist when founded 011 respect and esteem, and cemented to gether by a personal love for the man himself. As a business man, the deceased had shown himself to be one of the most capuuic ami promising young men in tllis city, and one whose integrity and ability had won the complete confidence of his employers. As a son and brother. he was a model for us til! and his life though short, both has and will be pro tint live of much good. Those who have personally known him will never forget him and those who have not will regret their loss. As long as his friends live, so long will his memory live, nnd many others will thcreallcr learn to admire and esteem him as one who could inspire so strong a feeling of regard, friendship. and cHcetion, that even the lapseof years eon'-, in no wise weaken or impair it. At J o clock p. m., the Knights ol Pythias assembled at their lodge and marched iu a hotly to the house of the deceased in order to escort the remains to the Episcopal church, where the funeral services were to be held. At the church door the Knights of Pythias formed in double line, and stood with bare head? while the casket containing all that was left of their comrade and fellow Knight was borne up thc aisle between their ranks, by the pallbearers who were W. C. Cnrmichnel, S. F. Chapman, F Sticliclcathcr, A. P. Barrett, J. II. Wood cock and W. K. I lesion. The choir composed of J. A. Campbell J. F. Blair, E. P. Mangun, F. A. Hull, J B.Jenning, C. E. Hilliartl, J. T. Amis, anil J. M. Young, sung the voluntary "Raise me Jesus to thy bosom." The silence in the church was almost oppressive as the impressive hpiscopal service for the dead was slowly and dis tiiictly read by the Key. J. Buxton. During the service the choir sung "Just as 1 tun without one plea." The large concourse of Iricnds and the relatives then proceeded to the cemetery where the regular service was concluded bv the Rev. I. Buxton. Then the cere monies were taken up and finished by the Rev. George II. Bell, prelateof I'isgah Lodge, No. 32, of the Knightsof I'ythias according to the rules of the lodge. As all the Knights sung iu chorus, "Nearer my God to thee," each member in turn deposited a sprig of myrtle in the grave. Thc services were concluded with a prayer by thc Rev. G. H. Bell. The funeral was the largest that has ever taken place in Ashevillc and was in dicative ol the great esteem and love which the community had for him. Not only the Knights of Pythias, but also the Carolina AtUelic Club, of which he had been it prominent and honored member, attended in a body. There was a profusion of Bowers which tender and loving hands had placed upon the casket of one, who had been so dear to them. Among those was a beautiful shield of white chrysanthemums with thc emblematic letters of the Knights of Pythias, F. C. H., in blue yellow and red. Many u sail face among the crowd which was slowly wending its way homeward, told the passerby that death had been among us and another loved one had been gathered to rest. cait. t. t. ki:i.si:v, This Iluilder of Towns in the Clly Yesterday. This gentleman, the "builder of towns" wns iu the city yesterday, and gave us a pleasant call yesterday afternoon. Hav ing launched Highlands upon a prosper ous voyage of life, he directed his atten tion to Linvillc, another coming citv in thc wilderness. It is in Mitchell county lying partly in the valley of Linvillc river, and when il gets big enough will rest its limbs on thc slopes of the adjacent sur rounding mountains. The property at tached to thc young town is extensive, valuable anil beautiful. The company owns many thousand acres ol heavily timbered lands, cxhtiustless water power furnished by Linvillc river, and owns also, as one of its strikingly picturesque features, the Grandfather and the Grand mother mountains, two of the loftiest and most majestic of the long Blue Ridge chain. Throughout the whole property the work of laying out good roads of easy grade is being energetically pursued. The town is small as yet, perhaps con taining only fifteen houses, more or less; but three steam saw mills are constantly at work sawing out building materials, every foot of which is to lie used on the spot. A good hotel is finished, occupied I nnd well kept. Streets, atlnues and parks are laid out, nnd the promise of a busy town and delight fid resort is most encouraging. federal Court.

The Kneel of the Decision Is That They Must Nerve Out the Time for Which They Were Sentenced Other Washington Matters. Washington, D. C, November 11. 1 he well known case of ('lifirlf-a 1: f... and Samuel C. White, defaulting presi dent and cashier respectively of the State .National Bank of Raleigh', N.

The two men named , w lule officers of t he V:, l.-i.rl, h t, forged a note lor SG.a.'iO. f.n,l fi.lclJ entered it on the books of the bunk as part ol the assets of the institution; the intent being to deceive th vi;nni bank examiner as to the financial condi tion ot the bank.

The fallacy of this i.r.,,,. mcnt, the court says, 'is in assuming that the making of false eniri,.. n,.- sarily involves the crime ,!' fr,r. Either crime would havt been complete without the other. The ..r;m . ;., the State could not be condoned bv com mitting another and distinct " crime tgainstthe ( nited States. Some other minor points are also decided .iLminsr thn convicted men. A new rule adopted by the supreme court seems to have taken bv surprise quite a large number ofattorncys practic- iA,it me eouri. Heretofore it has been the practice of the court each morn ing to call thc fust case on I lie H.-iv nl. ciitlar, and il the argument of this one c.-ise occupied the whole day, then no other ease was called. Under the new tile, as soon ns the court openseachday, he first tea cases are called and theeouiil el in each one of them are esoe,-te,l tn have notified thc clerk that thcy intend to make nn oral argument if it "is their purpose so to do. If proper notification 111 all these ten cases have been made, then argument is proceeded with in the first case, and others come up in their turn. It the clerk resounds Hint ... nl and briefs in any case have not heen printed the court summarily dismisses the suit. If the record and briefs are on file, but counsel have not nmlfi th clerk that they arc ready for argument, ...... v.,. 13 auoiuuiea under a snowing made in briefs and the attorneys lose the right ot argument. If a record only is printed, the case is continued and Imes over lor one tei in, thus lieing delayed a ear. The object of the new rule is tn ..v,. ditc the work of the court, nnd its effect is seen in the fact that the business of the court is now two weeks ahead of last term. 1 he change in the rules which has been made docs not, however, seem to have attracted the attention of the at torneys l.r iclicing before the else they do not understand its effect, for the counsel in about forty cases have ilready been caught napping and have lad their suits subjected to the Tlenfiltir.o of this new rule.

Died of His Inluries The lad Edward Nix, whose head was cut some time last week by coming incon ttict with a saw in rapid motion at the furniture company, died on Sunday morn ing. He was 15 years old. His case was a remarkable one. Without doubt the brain was ienetrnted and lacerated ; yet for several days he apiicared to be doing well, was bright and cheerful, suffered lit tle pain, nnd there was no inflammation. That came at last, and with fatal result. The furniture company, in whose employ he had been, generously bore all expenses of medical attendance and of iuterment, nnd displayed liberal and active sympa thy otherwise. That wns verv beautiful butter rtnn.l work of that most accomplished house. keeper, Colonel Long's good wife, nnd the product of well cared for Jersey cows. It wus pretty to look at; but to us jt Wns, "touch not, taste not."
