" FACTS AND COMMENTS..
TuiiRit lire some people who arc oo
ulensiint when tlicy arc uhsent thnt one
can almost forgive them for being go un
lcaralle when tliev are present.
Kkm.mi.kk, who came to near Iwing cx
ecuted by electricity, lay thnt laws,
courts and habeas corptinca give him the
hcadnclie and he docs not like to con
verse about them.
TllK Massachusetts lady who hits been
granted a pilot's license by the United
States insiectors is not the first woman
who hits stood at the helm, by a large
majority. Don't talk to the lady at the
wheel ; then she won't have any excuse
lor talking to anybody else.
NliW York's jealousy of Chicago is not
to be wondered nt tinder the circum
stances, but the New York Sun is going
too fur in alluding to the passage of n
city ordinance forbidding wolves to ap
pear in the streets of Chicago a having
been passed so recently lis some time
ngo.
It is really discouraging, when you
come to think of.it, thnt there should be
so much wickedness in the world. If we
were not coniH'lled to sjicnd so much
time in contemplation of the sins and
shortcomings of others, we might Hssi-
bl.r have time to look after our own
transgressions.
A woman named Ivllett Brown was re
cently tried in Iloston for assaulting
James Hern with a pair of scissors. At
the station house it was discovered that
I lie woman had on six dresses. In ex
planation she said she tlM not propose
to leave her clothing behind tn be stolen
while she was imprisoned at the island.
May 1st was n successful duy in this
country for workingtnen. They have
shown their strength in numbers nnd or
ganization. They have shown thcirgootl
sense in retraining from violence nnd in
advocating arbitration forthescttlcnient
of disputes, and they have in ninny in
stances gained their demand for shorter
hours.
TllK mans meeting of merchants und
importers in New York recently called
for the purpiiseof protesting, in the name
of the business men of the country,
ngninst the passage of the two republi
can tariff bills now before congress, rep
resents the beginning of n movement
more formidable than onv that has yet
been set on foot.
Tiik chnplainship of the I'liited States
house of representatives is no sinecure.
When the chnpbin prays that sin may
be extirpated and sinners humiliated the
house thinks he is getting jk-i soual ; nnd
when he asks that virtue may abound,
the representatives want to know if he
isn't aware that there is a lot of virtue
in the house now. Seriously, someol the
inemliers arc mad withClmpliiin Milhtirn
because he has put so much miction into
his references to profanity.
Vision of the Boston Clolie in lite year
2,0(10:
Washington, Aug. 31. Congress to
day went to a vote on the proposition to
change the name ol the capital from
Washington to McKcvsvillc, ami the re
sult was: Yeas, 04; nay,! 'VI. The point
of no (piorum lieing raised, the Sicnkcr
left the chair, and, going to the window,
levelled his powerful spyglass iiniii Ches
apeake bay, whither 100 mcinlters had
gone ou a fishing excursion. I'pnn re
turning to the chair the scnkcr an
nounced that a quorum was insight, and
declared the bill passed to be engrossed.
Tim estimation in which that private
citizen of the United States, Mr. ('.rover
Cleveland, is held might be inferred il it
were not sufficiently known Irom the in
terest excited by his upicnraueeat Wash
ington for the purpose of a suit before
the supreme court. Washington observ
ers found the ex-President looking re
markably well, and they arc at a loss to
understand why certain crons in New
York should be so worried as they have
lately shown themselves over Mr. Cleve
land's state of health. The fact undoubt
edly is that Mr. Cleveland is altogether
too robust to suit the wishes or inUti
tions of his enemies.
AT THE HEAD.
Tiik Wilmington Messenger devote a
column of itn editorial page to a review
of some of the more important of North
Carolina towns and caks hopefully of
their possibilities und probabilities. The
following is a paragraph:
Many of our North Curolinn towns
IHIVC miltie rapiil atrioca wiiiiui u lew
years, and some have really "astonished
the natives." Charlotte, Raleigh and
Wilminuton have nil increased in iKipula
tion, and the thrill, enterprise nnd de
velopment have lieen quite pronounced.
Hut perhaps within n decade Asheville
almwa oinri' marked nrotzreas thitn nnv
other town. It lias advanced very much
in wealth and population, and ha now
not far from lil.lino inhabitants. It is
on the upward grade, and is destined to
lie a place of ITi.ooi) or more inhabitants
IK'rlinps, and lielorc the century ends it
may lc. It has four ncwspniers.
The sincere thanks of every resident of
Asheville will be extended to the Mcsscn
gcr for its putting Asheville at the head
of the list, where il belongs, but when it
speaks of its not having far from 10,000
inhabitants, it is going too far. Asheville
hits 12,000 inhabitants, and the coining
census will prove the statement. More
than Hint it has a floating population of
many thousand. And about it being tic'
lined to lie a place of 25,000 the Messen
gcr has hit the nail on the head.
TWO MEN SERIOUSLY IN
JURED AT BILTMORE.
JESSE CLAYTON, A COLORED
MAN, MAY DIE.
J. H. Mccarty, foreman, llactly
Humed About the Face and
Hands, But hla Inlurles)
arc not ho Herloua.
Jesse Clayton, n colored employe on
the Vnndcrhilt estate, at Ililtmore, re
ceived serious, if not fatal, injuries by the
explosion of a keg of gunpowder yester
day. J. H. McCnrty, a foreman, who
was standing near bv, also received se
vere injuries nbout the face and hands.
For some time the workmen have
been engaged in blasting on one of the
mountains. Their plan wns to put in n
light charge of dynamite to break the
earth and make the heavy bhst with
powder. After the dynamite lind ex
ploded in one of the places yesterday
Clayton ran forward to pour in the pow
der. Fire, however, remained in the bot
tom of the hole and the stream of pow
der at once caught and was quickly com
municated to the keg. The latter ex
ploded and Clayton as well as McCnrty
was thrown back several feet. That
they were not instantly killed is miracu
lous. Help was soon nt hand und the
wounded mnn was taken to the home
of Dr. A. S. Whittaker, who dressed his
wounds. His face nnd hands were badly
burned and his eyesight was affected.
The hair was singed completely from the
top of his head. His injuries lire serious
and his chances for life and death me
ubout even. It is the opinion of the at
tending physician that should he recover
his eyesight will not lie unpaired. The
wounds of Mr. McCnrty arc by no means
ns bad. His face and hands were burned
hut he will be able to lie about in a few
days.
At the time of the accident Clayton had
in his pocket a dynamite cartridge, three
silver and two paper dollars. The car
tridge was exploded and the two paKT
dollars burned to a crisp. One of the sil
ver dollars which laid between the car
tridge nnd his body received the force of
the enrtridge nnd was considerably
twisted. It was that which saved his
life.
IT WILL BE READY.
The Ircat terlan church to be
Done This) Week.
When it was given out last Sunday that
the services at Battery Park would cease
and the Prcshyterinncongrcgalion would
assemble in their church next Sunday,
there wcic many who doubted. Thccon
dition of the work seemed to make it im
possible to complete the church, but it is
otherwise now. Extra forcesof workmen
are put on through the dav and a night
force is now employed.
Six or seven different sets of workmen
are employed at the same time and it is
so arranged that they do not interfere
with one another. The work on the or
gan is drawing to a close. The tuning
will he completed to-day and the regulat
ing will take but n day or two more and
on Sunday the people will have their first
opMirtunit of hearing n Roosevelt or
gun. A description of the changes as a
whole would be ill-timed, ns they will
only be completed on Saturday and the
general effect can only then Ik- realized.
Kcv. Vt.S. 1'. llrvnn, the pastor, will
preach on Sabbath.
