Word has just reached Eagle Pass of an at tempted robbery and the killing of one of the would-be robbers nearDurango. C. M. Brittain, of the Las Vagas mines, left Durango City on the night of Feb. 29 for the mines some twenty miles away. He had with him $10,000in Mex ican silver in a safe in his wagon. This fact became known to six desperate have bees making when we ride. And when President Powell shall have brought his cars to the French Broad, we will vote him, as we said we would, greater than Alexander the Great when he rode Bucephalus up to the saddle skirts in the Indian Ocean after conquer ing Persia and India. The Indian ocean and Bucephalus can't compare with the French Broad and President Powell's street cars. Nobis judicious. Tbe Drill. All the vacancies among the cadet officers were filled last week, and the company drill begins this week. We shall relegate Upton's tactics to the shades of innocuous desuetude, and use the new infantry drill regulations re cently adopted by the U. S. army. As soon as we get in shape we propose to have a public drill once a week or so on the sand flat above Pearson's bridge. Provision for tbe Outer Han. Our gymnasium has been in successful operation for some months and is much frequented and enjoved by the boys. Last week our billiard room was opened and has been full ever since in play hours. It is in the basement of the gymnasium and is fitted up with tables supplied with Feck & Snyder's parlor billiard outfit. Some good people may feci a prejudice against billiards, but we promise not tn bet or gamble in any way with these tables, and to use them onlv for amusement and exercise. For this purpose no other game is as effective tor the money expended on it. Provision for tbe Inuer Han. We have scarcely heard a complaint ol the provision made for the inner man at the mess hall table. It is but justice to say that the fare which our steward gives us is as good as it can be for the money and the boys consider it the best boHrd they ever had at a boarding school. But we want something extra sometimes, of course. J. H. Fowler, "Mas' John" as the bays call him, who attends to tbe outside affairs on the Heights, has been promising and prom ising to own a restaurant in the base ment of Fowler & Co.'s storehouse. At last it has been done. The tree luncheon all round which he was to open with ac cording to our account of it has not yet been served, except so far as some milk he had dowu last Saturday night for oyster stews is concerned, and which came up missing. Lunches can now be served without a two mile walk to town. X. X. Y. miles out on the road to Las Vagas be fore daylight, lay in ambush lor Brittain. Brittain's party consisted of lour per sons heavily armed, and when the am bushed bandits saw tbe teams they at once charged upon them, using pistols and Winchesters freely. The others, howt mride a vigorous resistance, while , ..nrrying into Constantia, and though one of their number, Antonio Costana was killed, the others with the treasure made a safe entry into Con stantia. The robbers Ending pursuit useless and dangerous turned toward Durango, and have not been caught. SOMETHING NEW. Asheville Is Soon to Have a tie.. ulue Masked Ball. A pleasant surprise is in store for the fun-lovers of Asheville in the form of a fancy dress masked ball to be given in the Grand opera houBe soon after the Lenten season is over. The opera house is to especially prepared and adapted lor this festivity, the first of its kind ever offered in this city. The prepartions are in the hands ol a formidable list ot patronesses and mana gers which would appear to muke its success a foregone conclusion. This list is not yet made public. The ball is to be given by subscription, and a large number ol invitations will be sent out. It is understood that the proceeds of this entertainment are lor the benefit of that admirable public benefactor and teacher, the Asheville Library associa tion. Dominos and masks, or costumes, hisS torical, romantic, poetical, comic, even political, are the order of the day. DEAD IN A MINE SHAFT THREE HUNDRED ENTOMBED. Probably tbe Most ol Tbeui Are Fatally Injured Mothers And Wives Frantic Willi Grief. Bkisskls, March 11. An accident oc curred today in a colliery near Charleroi which, it is feared, will result in great loss of life. Three hundred miners were employed in a coal pit when there was a terrific explosion of fire damp. The pit mouth was rendered unavailable, and up to the present the tafe of the imprisoned work men is unknown. Efforts are being made to rescue any of the men who may have survived the explosion. The explosion -was'-it A'lderh'us col liery and tremendous excitement prej vailed in the vicinity of the pit. Men, women and children have assembled in an enormous crowd und are wild with fear, for it is thought that when en trance is made to the colliery the loss ol lite will be found to be appalling. Of three hundred men at work only three have thus lar arrived at the mouth of the pit in sal'etv. The effect ol the ex plosion was terrific. The cage aud ven tilator were shattered. The destruction of the ventilator adds an element of great danger to the situation. The men, if any survived the shock of the explo sion, are apt to meet their death Irom choke-damp as, with the destruction ol the ventilator, is impossible to rid the mine of gases. A large number of miners are married and their families arc at the pit mouth frantic with grief. '! le worst is leared and tiie mine officers and gendui jics have the greatest difficulty in preserving space sufficient for the rescuing party that has been organized. Volunteers are plenty and almost super-human efforts are being made to clear tbe shalt. IT'S A Tl.lt WO HL A SURPRISE. the H. REDWOOD & GO. A. O. V. W. to Loans Hrrurelv Placed at 8 Per Cent.

A Legal Decision of Interest Tbls Order. Bloomington, 111., March 11. A very important decision was rendered in the circuit court here yesterday which has a bearing upon the business of all insur ance associations. It was rendered in the case of Mrs. Maggie Belcham, widow of Thomas, of this city, vs. the grand lodge ol the Ancient order of United workmen. Mrs. Belcham's husband carried a life policy tor $20,000 in this order for 12 years, but was expelled Irom the order a few months before bis death tor drunk enness. The claim was mude by Mrs. Belcbara that when he was expelled her husband was insane. The verdict ren dered gives Mrs. Belcham judgement for 2,115. The order in this city also tends to in vestigate the charges made against the supreme secretary, John Barr, who was accused by branch No. 257, of this city, of unnecessary delay in the matter of for warding papers pertaining to tue pay ment ot a detth benefit claim.

Employees of a Railway Com pany Oat on a Strike. Indianapolis, March 11. The strike of the employes in Pennsylvania railroad company's shops here which began three weeks ago now seems likely to affect the entire system.

Cadiz, March 11. All of the anarch ists charged with participating in the re cent attack upon the town of Xcrcs, who were tried by court martial that convened in this city yesterday, have been acquitted.

On the Threshold. Standing at womanhood's door is she, Clad in her virginal purity, A creature fair us the lilies be, And. like the lilies, nlas, how trail; They are borne to earth when the storms prevnil, And their life goes out in the summer dale. When we see a frail and lovely creat ure. standing on the threshold between girlhood and womanhood, we shiver with a tear ol wnai mav oe, oecause we have seen so many succumb at this cnti cal period of lite. What is needed at this time is a tonic ana invigorant some thing that will promote proper func tional action of the female organs. The only remedy to be depended on is Dr, Pierce s Favorite rrescription. i nis un- equaled medicine, which cures diseases peculiar to women, is especially vaiuaoic at the period when the girl crosses the threshold of womnnwood. Tsed nt such a time, it never fails to produce a most beneficial result, and many a fragile girl has been tided over one ot lite s most try ing periods by it. To tbe Public. Asheville, N.
