Th Accident Occurred venter- day on Trestle Near "Still house Tank" Another Death on the List of the "Bloody 705." A allocking accident occurred on the Murphj division of the Western North Carolina railroad yesterday morning about 9:30 o'clock. At that hour freight train No. 66, in charge of Engineer Locke Aid rich and Conductor Ernest Koonti, was on the trip to Asheville. In ascending Balsam mountain trains have to "double" to get over. One-half of the train is taken to the top of the grade and sidetracked while the engine returns for the remaining ball:'"' It was on this return trip that the ac cident occurred. When about a mile and a halt from Allelic, a small station, the engine turned a curve, and the engineer was horrified to see two men on the trestle near what is known as the "Still house tank." The engine was near the men when they were discovered. Engi neer Aldrich reversed the engine, and ap plied tne air Drakes, but efforts to stop were fruitless. One of the men started to run toward the end of the trestle, in the direction from which the engine was coming, thinking he could reach the bank in safety. He was wrong in his calculation, for the encine struck him just as he was preparing to mnke the jump for the bunk. His skull was crushed, killing him instantly. The other man let himself down between the tics and-the engine passed over him with out doing him harm. The men were lohn Bailey and Dan Clayton, white, who live near the scene of the accident. When it occurred ihev were on their way to the river on a fishing trip. uanev whs tne man killed. He was about 22 years old, and unmarried. He nns relatives in this city, llie remains were taken charge by the dead inun's sister. The cniiine was the 705, which not long ago killed a man near Marion. This is Mr. Alilrich's first' fatal accident, in a running experience 01 six years. A BRACE CAUGHT. A Couple of Thieves Nabbed at the Pa seuicer Depot. Fred Mills, white, and (ames Kice, col ored, were before Justice A. T. Summer yesterday atternoon, charged with steal ing from the passenger depot. On Wednesday night a valise belong ing to a man living out of town was left in the waiting room afe the passen ger depot. Mills and Kice entered the waiting room by means ot keys which they carried and took the valise out. They went into a "shanty" car stand ing in the freight yard where they di vided the contents of the valise, after which they filled the valise with rocks, took it to the French Broad river and sunk it. The men went back, probably for more plunder, and were caught by Patrolmen Henry and Triplett, who were on the lookout for thebieves. Thev confessed their guilt. There were among other things two pair of socks in the valise, and these were found on the feet of the men caught. They had a number ol keys by which they could unlock almost any door. They are said te have rob bed a freight car in the yard in day light. Mills and Rice were sent to jail to await the next term of the criminal court. AN OLD EVIL. Tls Time to Arrest fcoruebody lor Fast Driving:. To persons who know of the existence ot an ordinance prohibiting fast driving and riding through the streets, it is strange that arrests are not made as provided for in the city code. Yesterday atternoon a gentleman was crossing the street from the National bank to Cooper's, when a negro on horseback came galloping across from North Court place. The negro seemed to care for nsthing in front of him, and came perilously near riding the gentle man down. He bad to jump to save him self and hisexample had to be followed by several others, as the careless son ot Hani recklessly rode on dowu Patton avenue. 1 hat would bave been a good case for police interference, but if it was no ticed nothing was done. Not only yes terday but every day does something of this kind occur. Pedestrians lives are much too frequently endangered by reckless riders and drivers, and if a half dozen or more arrests were made there would likely be a stop to so much of the evil. RAILROAD RUMORS. Trains to Run Through From Sal isbury to Norrlstown. There is a rumor in railroad circles here that within the next ten days an important change is to be made. The rumor is that the Western North Caro lina branch of the Eust Tennessee, Vir ginia and Georgia railroad, connecting Paint Kock, N. L witli Morristown, Term., is to puss into the control of the Richmond and Danville company, and passenger trains will run through from Salisbury to Morristown. It is also said that Capt. V. E.McBee, so long and favorably known as the su perintendent of the Western North Caro lina railroad, but lately general super intendent of the Central of Georgia, will leave the latter road, and take a similar position on the E. T.. V. and G. road, with headquarters at Knoxville. CAPT. MATT. H. LOVE DEAD. He Passes Away In Waynesvllle This Morning;. A telegram received by Dr. C, E Hi! Hard this morning, announced the death of Capt. Matt. H. Love, a well known citizen of Waynesville. Nothing was known of bis illness by bis relatives in Asheville until the nouncement of his death was received. Capt. Love was a brother of Mrs. Dr. W. D. Hilliard, ol Asheville, and a mem ber of one of the best known families in Western North Carolina. He was about 50 yean of age. EMPEROR WILLIAM'S MALADY The Trouble In Hla Ear Excites fresh Anxiety. London, March 17. It is said the malady of the Kaiser's ear is getting worse, and is attended by frequent par oxysms of excruciating pain. The dis ease is incurable, and the most serious results may be expected. The Kaiser's recent extravagances and aberrations are attributed to the effect of the disease on his brain. The Kaiser is said to have ordered the discontinuance of the im perial subscription to the London Punch becuusel it contained several allusions of a distasteful character to bis recent actions. Rumors of the progress of the disease ot the emperor's ear have had a disquiet ing effect in official circles. Today the emperor was to have a specinl consulta tion witb Caprivi on the passing ol the school bill before the recess of the Land- taz. The Chancellor, after waiting in the ante-chamber h llali-liour, Was in formed that the emperor could not see him today. Ihe inflammation which heretofore has been internal is said to have caused a painful swelling in the side of his neck and to have ex tended toward the base of the brain. The result is that the emperor suffers from insomnia and is exceedingly irritable. Nevertheless he attends to bis duties as usual, although against the advice ol bis physicians. N. V. Sun.

The extensive tobacco factory of Liggett & Myers, which covers nearly one-half block, hounded by Thirteenth, St. Charles and Locust streets, took fire in the sixth story, or sweating department, at 8:30 this morning, and in an hour almost all the upper part of the building was in flames. Three alarms were turned in and the fire department came out in lull lorce. Several hundred people, men, women and children were employed it. the factory, but all appear to have es caped without injury. Twenty or more streams ot water were thrown on the building. The loss will be very heavy, as what the fire does not destroy the floods ol water will. NOL PROHSED THE CASE. Murderers vet a S'.ay of Proceed ings and are Lynched. Warrenton, Va., March 19.

Mr. Plerson Is a Presbyterian London, March 15. The Rev. Jamea Spurgeon, brother of the late pastor of the Tabernacle, said today: "The fact ef Mr. Pierson not having been baptized would not stand in the way of his being accepted for permanent ministry in the tabernacle as co-pastor with me. He draws an audience wmcn fills; the tabernacle every Sunday, and the cnurcn is in as nourismug condition financially as ever.

The Great Staple Produced In a Greater Quantity Thau the world Needs The South Must Produce New Crops. Washington, March 18 The March report of the statistician of the depart ment of agriculture was issued today. It shows that the production of the cotton for the world exceeded the con sumption by more than a million and a half bales in 1890, and further greatly enlarges the excess in 1891, glutting the markets, increasing the visible stocks during the past year more than 1,100, 000 bales and reducing the Liverpool price of middling upland from 6 1-16 urnce in January, 1890, ' to 414 pence in January, 1882. The report states that in tws years this country has produced an excess above normal requirement of more than two million bales and indicates a heavy reduction in acreage as the only possible remedy; otherwise, the agricultural in terest of the south will suffer worse than western agriculture ever has. It de clares that the cotton states must be agriculturally self-sustaining; that new crops must ;be introduced as the agri cultural pspulation has outgrown the capacity of cotton to support it. CASSELMAN'S FIGURES. A Bill to Enumerate the Confed erate Soldiers. Washington, March 18. Congress man Belknap is about to introduce a bill which has for the cnuse of its existence, the article on "The numerical Strength ol the Confederate Army," by A. B. Cas selman, in the March Century magazine. Mr. Casselman, now a mimber of the board of pension appeals, was formerly a special agent of the pension bureau. During his investigations in the south, he became convinced that the numerical strength of the confederate armies had never been correctly reported, perhaps because of the imperfect records kept by tlicir officers. 1 he bill provides that tne secrctarv of war sh ill cause to be enum erated the names borne upon the muster rolls by the coniederate army, whicb are on file in this department; to have the totals thereof tabulated by regiments and companies; and 111 respect to such rolls as he may have reason to believe are defective, to procure through special agents and other efficient means trust worthy information and supplemental evidence tending to show the total num ber ot men who served in that army during the late civil war.
