Willis Gay lord, for years a heavy manipulator of railroad securities and organizer of railrond co-operations committed suicide some time last night or this morning in his cell in the county prison here. When the keepers went their rounds this morn ing Caylord'i corpse wag discovered in his cell, (iavlord was put under arrest on a warrant issued on the lath ol November last, in a suit in assumpsit, involving claim of $30,000. The plaintiff being one Frederick A. Bnbcock. of New York, with whom Gaylord had been interested in New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vicksburg railrond bonds. Ilnbcock alleged fraud on liaylord's part. while the latter sserted his ability to clear himself of the accusation ; and since his arrest his counsel has been actively engaged in procuring witnesses in sup port oi irc miiuuii iu uuusa tne writ. u the meantime, tiaylnrd Bad remained in the custody of the sheriff, aid Judge x naa nxrd 11 n clock this morning for a neuring on the motion.

Tne sMreet Railway. ditor Citizen : Is it not time that a halt was iu order to the so-called I ? I im provements of the street electric road ? As lor instance, eonta Main street is no longer passable to spirited teams. The policy of the company seems to be to drive travel to some other thoroughfare, and it mast be confessed that it is admir ably succeeding;. In the nam of com mon sense why was that track changed Irom the side to tne middle or the road, necessitating the crossing and endanger ing many live in consequence? The of ficers of the street railway will yet find that public opinion, though a little slow, will iu the end condemn and abolish such nefarious business. If, however, the track was ordered changed by our masterly city fathrrs, the sooner it is remedied the better pleased will be thr public, ('sing Church street in lieu ol South Main is not what it is cracked up to lae and is nearly played out with mnnv a one.

Nkw York, January 3. To-day Is u balmy summer day with bright sun shine, inch as was never seen In New York City before at this time of year. The deaths to-day number 820 against 1 'JH yesterday, and 105 on Wednesday. This is something unprecedented at this time of the year. Pneumonia, bronchitis nnd consumption show nn increase over thcstnmlitrd per day at this season. The number of policemen rciiorled sick this morning was 357. The increase in the number of deaths is attributed to the grippe and the discuses which follow that malady.. Do Lcawena Mick, Tamim, January 3. M. De Lcsscpa Is slightly Indisposed, HTRKKTS AND PAVKNKNTS, Ir. vou Ruck's Buiciteatloiia Altly seconded, liditor Citizen : What Dr. von Ruck says about the dust,of Asheville is so im portant and so trueJ-hnt the wonder is it should be necessary to snv it nt nil that is, the wonder is that the evil was not long ago corrected. Let us see why this is so imnortant a matter. Asheville ia before the people of pernaps nan tne unu en Mutes as a health resort. The fact thnt the climate here is perhaps the best east of the Rocky mountains for iieraons suffering from tinsnl, throat or lung complaints is a tre mendons reserve capital that can lie con verted into cash. Howf Obviously by making Asheville attractive in every pos sible way: clean streets, clean public oiiuinugs, cieun smewniKS, large parks, good hotels and good boarding houses. Now we cannot have cleanliness and dust; the two will not mix. So fur in Asheville the dust is on top when the mud. not so objectionable a feature, bv the way isn't; Dasf tj th person sut- icnng rrora taroai or lung trouble means u: . . i- - ii . . hkwiit iw nun , mcaim unit nc win not get well so soon; that he tuny not regain nis neaitn at all; that lie might as well it not better, go home whence became. I know ot persons cominu here in the evening, meeting clouds of dust the next day and starting tor home that evcnine They would certainly have spent a great deal of time and money here; as it was they spent very little of either. Worse than that, they went home to tell all luestioners tliut Asheville is too dirt v to live in. It will not do to snv suchix-rsnns are too particular; they are not. The trouble is, Asheville is not particular enough; if she cannot clean herself upslie nail iH'st take in ner sign, shut up shop unu warn iiivmiui, iiwiiy, 11 n is oust they want they can get that at home. I firmly believe thnt Asheville does not yet know herself: that but tew of her cit izens realize what could lie done to make this climate enormously profitable to every one of us, directly aud indirectly. The climate is here and no one finds uuy fault with it; now don't coutaminatc it; keep it pure ; keep it tree ot dust. Suppose Asheville was paved with as phalt or any other clean, smooth, and durable pavement. Suppose the side walks were unitormly good, wide, and were kept clean as they are not now; what would lie the effect on the visitor? lie would be charmed, lie would slat- here a lite time if possible and bid all his friends do the same, liven if only the streets surrounding the court house were to-tlay paved with some pavement that is naturally clean and readily kept so; it the abuting sidewalks were wide und clean; it the public buildings and offices und stores were clean, the investment, I am persuaded, would pay the city better than all the macadamized roads that can l laid Iwtween here and sundown. One half mile of ierl'ect pavement would huve more significance than 400 of the present hog-wallows. In other words Asheville, to economize, as she thinks or her offi cials think for her is paving her streets in almost tne most exiensive way possi ble, lor tne reason t hut, were all that work done, every street laid with nine- adnm, there would be nothing then to show for thr money : nothing, that is. of the kind this citv should have. And now about pavements. Let a committee of business men visit all the large cities, studyingthcpaviiiguucstion, before any one pavement isndoptctl. Asncviiie, January a, lsuu.

A Cancer In HIM Throat, Tosellier With Other Complication,., Make Hla Appearance In the Home Attain Improbable. Washington, Jnnunry 3. The Star this evening publishes the following: The father of the house of representa tives, the champion of protection, the veteran legislator, William D. Kclley, of Pennsylvania, has probably been on the floor of the house tor the lost time. On the day when the fifty-first congress as sembled, Judge Kelley was on haud in bis seat, nnd since that time he hus proba bly not been to the house of representa tives more than two or three times. His condition has been a matter of great so licitude to his friends for some time, particularly owing to the nature of the Judge s ailment. It is now fully developed audits activity is most virulent. Just below the rear of Judge Krl ley's jaw is a cancer, and it is rapidly spi catling into nig tiiroat. bo tji.icKiy nas it worked that the afflicted man can sptak only in vyhiscrs, and then not without pain. The swallowing of nourishment is a mat ter ol considerable difficulty, nnd locomo turn can only be indulged in to a very small extent. Several of Judge Kelley 's relatives have Ixcn here during the last few days, and his daughter, Mrs. Hosmer, wanted to take him home with her, but his condi tion yesterday was such that removal was regartlcd as impossible bv the phy sicinns, so the Judge is still in his room it I lie kikes bouse. Judge Kelley is slight! v improved to- night. The memliers ol his family who are here were not summoned to Wash' ngton on account of the Judge's illness hut cuiuc to uiieud the holidays with him. While it is true the Indue bus throat trouble of a cancerous nature, it is not fully tleveloK'd, ns Mr. Kelley submitted to a surgical oiieration for the removal of this growth in 18H3. There has lieen, however, n renewal of the trouble tiuite recently; but this wus not the cause of his present prostration. About a week ago the Judge contracted a heavy cold, which devciotietl into a very seveie case of intestinal catarrh, attended by copious and (dstinatc diarrheca, which" has re sulted iu great weakness and a general breaking down of thesyslem. The Judge is extremely unxious to go to the house t representatives once more, but his friends are of the opinion to-aight that lie will never take Ins seat there ugain. NORTH CAROLINA NOTF.H.

The fine new reel re cently ordered, is cxiected to-morrow Mr. James Moore died nt his residence in Pittsboro on last Monday night, ngrd eighty-one years. He had been in feeble health lor many mouths, and vet his death was unexpected until the day pri or thereto, lie was born and reared near Wilmington, being a grandson of Cieneru! James Moore of Revolutionary lame, and until the licginning of the tnte war was an extensive rice planter on the lower Cnpe Fear, since which time he was resident at this place. He was re lated In ninny persons not only in this State, but in nearly every Southern State, for the Moore family even in the Colonial days was one of 'the most dis tinguished both in North and South Car olina. Wilmington Messenger: A couple of thuKsninl-hng?ed nn linliiinsailor night licfore Inst on North Water street, back of Mr. R. W. Hicks' new building. With out the slightest warning, the sailor wns knocked down but he managed to yell police in sufficient good English ns to at attract the attention of officer Cordon. The officer was not very far away and saw the two men when' they turned the comer at Mullicrry street while he wns in hot pursuit. A lump was raised on the sailor's head about the size of a man's fist, and doubtless hr would hnve Iwen more seriously hurt if the officer hud not gone to the rescue. Me hud Iwen paid off' that day and it is conjec tured that the two men who knocked him down were billowing him to rob him. Greensboro North State: A sad and fa tal accident occurred ut Win, 1-ovc's saw mill in this city Monday morning. While the logciirringewas being run backward a piece of plank wns caught and thrown violently against the chest of Mr. L. A. Manner the sawyer, causing n wound which resulted fatally Tuesday night. He was about 'J8 years of age. A wile sur vives him. The remains were interred in Rehoboth burying ground yesterday. In the wreck ol the freight truin near McLcnnsville last week a horse which was bring transported showed great sa gacity. He was haltered in a box car with the doors fastened. The car turned from the track nnd tumbled down the side of nn embankment, nnd when it stopK'd it wns lying partially on the side with the door thrown open. The top of the door, however was much below the height of the horse. In this situation, the animal, the halter liuvinu broken. got down on his knees, crawled out of the enr, straightened upon his teet, shook himself and tlien leisurely walked up to a stable nt a farm house near by and wait ed until be was retaken nnd loaded nn another train. He wasn't at all injured. OHIO HF.NATORIAL CONTEST. It Looks) aa If Mr. Brlce Might be the Man. Cou'Miirs, Ohio, January 3. There is no material change in the senatorial sit uation to-day ; but a great amount of work is being done, and the crowds are increasing in size. i tie feature ot the forenoon is the re ported withdrawal of all the candidates for speaker, with the exception ot Hysell. This has given increased lite to the Brice Doom tor the senate. Hysell is recognized as the speakership candidate of the Brice element in the sen atorial contest, although Brice and his inunngers claim they have nothine to do with it, and have been steering clear of me spcaKersiup ngnt, John A. McMahon. who is considered the third most prominent candidate, ar rived at noon accompanied by quite a large following. A most important rumor, which is as yet conliued to select circles, is that the democratic memliers ol the legislature since coming to tne city have held a conference and concluded to seat Mar quis for lieutenant governor over Lamp son with a whirl and without delay, and then bring out Governor Campbell as tne c n let opponent to Once tor the sen' ate. This report lacks confirmation. AT A BULL FIUHT. The I Hual Accident Happened, and Hundreds Were Injured.

While the second bull was fighting the vast assemblage was stand ing up and applauding, when one side of the enclosure began to give way.

Drecinitatimrthe crowd to the ground, from ten to twenty- ii ve icci ociow. Mnnv were buried under the ruins, and the frantic tramulinir of the terrified mul titudes on those below, and the shrieks ot men und women, made a terrible spec tacle. It was not until outside aid was sum moned that the timbers were removed and the victims rescued. Many hundred people were injured in all, but it is be lieved no deaths will occur. BRIDGE BLOWN DOWN. One Man Killed and Several Olhera Wounded. SPKINGFIKLU. MaiS.. Ihiiiii v A. The fifth span of a new iron hri-lgc which is being built between Holynice and Sor-lb Hadley was blown down at 10 o'clock this morning, and one ol the workmen, named Maurice Dritcoll, of Eagle Bridge, N.

The New York Sun notes several deaths in the city from the influenza, among which is thnt ol tlie.Rcv. Henry C. Mc Do wall, of St. Agnes church, Hast 43rd street. The Czar of all the Russiaa is still con fined to his bed seriously ill. He mav es- cape Nihilist plots, but not the grippe which nas itiunu mm out in nis inner most chambers. A curious case of crinoe or influenza oc curred in Pottsville, Pa., on Sunday lost. a iweive year oia ooy, on nis way home from church, fell insensible in the street. The doctors pronounced it gripie, nnd his condition is a critical one. The Richmond State has chanced pro prietorship by lieing converted into a print stock company. The late proprietor nnd editor in chief, Col. Richard F. Beirne, is president, Willium Ryan, vice-president, and W. W. Archer, secretary and treas urer. The old attaches will retain their positions on the editorial staff. The colored people of South Carolina oiened a State fair on the 1st, at Colum bia, but owing to short previous prepar ations nnd the inclemency of the weather the success was not very marked. It was the first of the kind held in South Carolina, and the whites gave a liberal helping hand to aid and encourage it. An epidemic of typhoid fever, very fatal in its effects, prevails in the northern part of Berks county, Pa. It is ascribed to the iol1ution of the waters of a creek into which the bodies of cattle dying from contagious diseases have been thrown. The mortality at Plymouth, Pa., a year or two ago, from polluted waters, should have taught the Pennayl vnninns a lesson not be forgotten. The influenzn varies in intensity and fatality in different localities. It has been quite fntnl in Paris, and Madrid dispatches say "the mortalitr there has been very great." It is a serious epidemic in Ireland, nnd in fact no portion of Eu rope has cscaied. In New York the weekly mortality has greatly increased through diseases siiierinduced by the in fluenzn; but though widely diffused through our northern cities, the influenza does not seem to be so alarming in char acter in this country as in Europe, The great African mountain Kilms Njaro hus been scaled at last by the Ger man explorer, Dr. Hans Meyer. It Is found to be 10,080 feet high, the loftiest ground on the African continent. It is somewhat stringe to learn that it la per petually covered with snow, something to our minds altogether out of place in a land associated with burning heats, and trackless desert. But a little re flection and a little knowledge wilt dem onstrate that the vast continent, 4,000 miles in length, is not unfamiliar with snow and ice, the Atlas mountains on the north, nnd the Kalihari on the south lieing always snow capped in the winter seasons. MISCELLANEOUS. J. S. GRANT, Ph. G., Of Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, Apothecary, aj South Malm St. The Old Year ha$ drawn to a close, and with the beginning of the New Year we wish to thank the public for their patronage and recognition of our efforts to do our full duty. We are fully con scious that It is to them that we owe the unexpected success of the past year, in which our business has been more than doubled, and we can only regard it as a new evidence thnt our business maxims are such as to cause our customers to have confidence in us and attract those who are cautious in dealing with any Pharmacist until they have become fully assured of the nature and extent of bis business principles. In our dealing with the public we realize that the most scru pulous care and honesty are paramount in importance. If these are virtues in all ordinary business transactions, they become sacred duties in Pharmacy, and without them no one can be a true Phar macist. The health, maybe the hie, of those dealing with the Apothecary de pends upon them. We consider it our most sacred duty to shun adulterations and spoiled as well as interior drugs. They constitute an evil from wbkb Phar macy suffers no less than the public. The evil is not a new one, inaugurated in late years; it has existed as long as there were men whose cupidity was stronger than their sense of justice, and it will doubtless continue as long as there may be men with conceptions of business so vague that they expect to purchase gold for the money value of dross. There are no other moral principles required for transacting a Pharmaceutical business than are necessary for any other business. I'nwavering integrity that remains unin fluenced by the visions of gold along the road of questionable or deceitful prac tices is the only foundation for success thxi , wcriliy the .m:;v , , ."- ': every pursuit, ami mvee patliculaily in Pharmacy, wtrr s u mn'ter urnecrf- tit y il trust hr coii'binet) wua f"'fj.'-' vigilHnc; in all rfiiections.

We hope our former patio ns will show the same kindness tow aid us in the fu ture that they bare in the past, knowing that no action of ours will ever make them regret a continuance ol their fa vors. Yours truly. J. S. GRANT, Ph. C, Pharmacist, Si S. Main St., Asheville, N. C. A. WHITLOCK, A. W H I T L O C K. A. WHITLOCK. -'4 i -..V i .Ml jYY-'iT- -"aia'asaasia1Wit1
