President Carrier Pats) a Force of Hands to Work at Hldulitlit and Crosses) the Ashevllla Compa ny's) Track. Several months ago the West Aheville and Sulphur Springs railway company procured a pr.vilege from the board of al dermen to extend its line from the pas senger depot into the city, coming over Depot and Bartlettstreetsrrnch Broad and Patton avenues to Venniman's store on West College street. Up to Inst night nothing had been done towards the extension of the road. Preparations had b&n going on for sev eral days, however, and last night at 12 o'clock, President E. G. Carrier, and sec retary J. D. Carrier, put a lorce of thirty or forty men to work. To get into Bartlett street the com pany's line has to cross the track of the Asheville street railway company twice once at the passenger depot and again at the intersection of Depot and Bartlett streets, about 200 yards from Glen Kock hotel. It was expected that everything in the way ol material had been prepared be forehand, but after the crossing at the depot bad been put in it was found that some ot the material ordered would not answer the purpose. This delayed the work, and when morning came there was only one crossing and about half ol the track between the crossings com pleted. Tlic authorities of the Asheville rail way company knew nothing of the im portant turn of affairs until this morn ing when they were informed by the men on the first car that went down. At 1) o'clock a special car was 1 un out on which were B. M. Jones, secretary and treasurer, and W. T. Gray, superin tendent of motor power. When these officials arrived at the Glen Kock they saw a new railway, with one ol the W. A. & S. S. company's handsome cars standing in front ot the Glen Kock, and a force of hands, under lid. Sucldertli working merrily along as though build ing competing lines was an every night business. The Asheville company's special car was run up to Bartlett street and stop ped on the crossing, just where Mr. Car rier expects to cross. It is the intention of the company to keep the c ir standing there, hoping to balk Mr. Carriet in his attempt. Mr. Carrier told The Citizen that if all the material hail been proieily made he would have had both crossings in before daylight this morning. The new line is exiccted to come over Bartlett street to French Bind avenue, then up that avenue to Pulton avenue, from there running a parallel line with the Aslwville company to the street which runs in rear of the government building, with that street to West Col lege, and then with West College to North Main street. The "blockade car" was taken off the Bartlett street crossing at noon today and the track is now clear. Col, J. G. Martin, president of the Asheville Btreet railway company, was asked this afternoon if his company would enjoin Mr. Carrier's company. He replied thut he did not think it would, saying that Mr. Carrier could cross if he so desired. Mr. Carrier's hands are now at work surfacing tbe track between the cross ings. He says the Bartlett street cross ing will be put in in a week, nnd the road will be pushed as soon as the neces sary material is received. NEW COMPANY. Asbevllle Will Have Two Military Companies soon. A meeting was held last night for the purpose of taking initiatory steps in the formation of another military company in Asheville. Col. J. G. Martin was chairman of tbe meeting. Nat. S. Kogers acted as secretary. The names of the following gentlemen were enrolled as members of the com pany: Capt. U. W. Bund, C. a. Jordan, D. W. Furman.W. G.Smith, B. M. Jones, Roy Dennison, Clarence Sawyer, A. M. Smith, J. M. Hastie, Nat L. Rogers. Capt. U. W. Budd was chosen as tne captain of the new company. The sec ret aiy pro tern wa. instructed to procure from Adjutant General Glenn all the necessary papers for perfecting the com pany's organization. Another meeting is to De held in ur. i. S. Jordan's office next Monday night, at which time a permanent organization ill be bad. B. M. lanes and W. G. Smith were ap pointed a committee to solicit members. There is splendid material in the new company and it will no ooulit be one that will be a decided credit to tne slate guard. TWO ROAD8. Tbe Difference Between Astae- vllle'a and Charlotte's. The Charlotte News man hat taken the figures given in the annual report of the Asheville street railway company's earnings and expenses, published in Tub Citizen, and makes these comparisons: 'The Charlotte electric road runs its line at a yearly expense ot 3,o00 per car, while Asheville shows an expeuse per car ot $4,no or a total excess over Charlotte of $9,800. From which if the 'net loss' thut town is reported as ex periencing in its electric advantages, be deducted, it w uld show a profit to them of about $9,500. This luttcr fig ure will be nearly reached by our elec tric line after paying interest sn its bonds and increasing its rolling stcck. It appears that Asheville's daily expen tes average $123 fixed charges and in' terest, while Charlotte's slightly ex ceeds $50." Superior Court. In the superior court in the case of J K. Garren vs. J. G. Lindsey, action for debt, a verdict was rendered in favor of the plaintiff, allowing him $27. Chas A. Moore, represented the plaintiff and ones & Webb the defendant.

He Poured Muriatic Acid Into the Coffee and She Drank a Little ol It The Husbaud Arrested. BmsTOL.Tenn. March 22. A case of at tempted wile poisoning most diabolical has just come to light. Saurday night while Mrs. Marguerite Ferguson, a dress muker of the city, was out attending to business, her rascally husband, lor some cause or other, poured a considerable amount of muriatic acid in the coffee pot. When she returned she soon finished upper and sat down with the other members ol the family. She took a sup of coffee and in a moment her tongue was in burning blisters, tin examination the acid was found. The coffee was lull ol it. The wretch had by accident poured some on the sewing machine, and the officers were not not notified until today. The cause of the deed is thought to be attributed to the wife's having applied for a divorce. A LONn OF 258,ooo. Cambridge, Mnm., Has a lllicElrc Fanillles (turned Out. Boston, Maich 22.

Mills to pass from the lower to the u piter branch 01 congress.

Henrv M. field, in tue New Vorlt Evangelist: A FLKASANT PLACE TO WINTER IN. Though the winter has bceeu mild thus far, there is no certainty that it will con- tiuuc so, and many of our readers are doubtless planning to spend a few months in the soutd. Asheville, 111 Wes tern North Carolina, ia, lamed for beauty of situation and evenness sf climate, and in Asheville the most delightful place of resident lor tne traveller u certainly the Oakland llcants sanatorium, Everything is done in this house which can contribute to the comfort and cheer tulness of the visitor. No consumptives are admitted, and the visitor is therefore spared that spectacle which wrings the heart of the guest of almost everv south ern hotel, of men and women dying from the most dreadful of all diseases. On the other hand, the hsuse isquiet, home like, free from tne excitements of a hotel, and thereforejust the place for those who are vervous, or who are debilitated by influenza, or suffering from any sort of chronic ailment. THE DEBATE ON SILVER, GREAT INTEREST HHOwN THE HOUSE. An Attempt to Head Off tbe Dis cussion Falls, tbe Speaker Rnl liilf against any Delay Bland Opens tbe Ball. Washington, March 22. The interest in the question of the free coinage of sil ver was manifested in the house this morning by the increased attendance of the members, by the unusal activity of Oie corps of newspaper correspondents, and by the crowd that thronged the gal leries. The diplomatic gallery which is generally empty, today added its quota of spectators. On the floor the members clustered to gether in little groups and discussed tbe situation, the ant-silver men being ap parently more active in their missionary work than the men in favor of tree coin age. Tracy, of New Vork, Harter, ot Ohio and Hoar, Massachuetts were ubiquitous. The leader of the silver forces, Bland, of Misouri, was not i prompt in making his appearance, evidently confident that his uble lieuten ants would map out the work of the campaign without his personal super vision. After the introduction of several bills, Mr. Bland, who had entered the hall, called up the special order, being the bill for the tree coinage of gold and silver and for the issue of coin notes The bill hav ing been read in full, Mr. Bland took the floor, but was immediately taken therefrom by Tracy, of New York, with the point of order that the bill must re ceive its first consideration in committee of whole, as it involved a change upon the treasury. Dingier supported this point which was antagonized by Bland and was over-ruled by the chair, who stated that the matter had been examined at the time of the report of the bill from the committee. On motion of Bland a resolution was adopted, providing for evening sessions tonight and tomorrow night tor general debate on the silver bill, Wilson, of Georgia, wanted some time granted in the discussion to members ol the third party. "We stand here" said he, "as the independent party." "We are all independent on this ques tion." retorted Blund, amid applause and laughter. Blund was then permitt ed to proceed with his speech. RIVERS AND HARBORS. The Bill Reported to the House A Reductlou. Washington, March 22. After an al most continuous session for more than two months, the house committee on rivers and harbors has completed consid, eration of the regular river and harbor ppropriation bill and reported it to the house. The bill appropriates $20,700,- 000, which is about $300,000 less than the amount carried by the bill reported by the committee in the last congress. and nearly $4,000,000 lets than the amount of the bill which became a law in the last congress. Here is North Carolina s share: Inland waterway between New Kiver and nansboro, $10,000: Northeast (Cape ear) river, $15,000; Pasquotank, $15,- 000; lape t-ear (above Wilmington,) 100,000, Contentnia Creek, New, $10,- 000; Pamlico and Tar, $15,000; Fishing creek, $a,000. The greatest feature of the bill is the extent to which the committee enlarges the policy adopted in the last congress, of placing some ol the most important protects under contract system, by means of which work caa be undertaken with the amount appropriated for year, covered by the bill and contracts entered into tor completion ot tbe work and ot its continuance without serious interruption, as has sometimes happen' ed when the continuance of the work was entirely dependent upon the river und harbor appropriations of each con gress belore tue work could again be pushed. 1 be contract as opposed to tbe drib- lett system has been louud to be so eco nomical that the committee adopted it generally this year. In the last bill Gal veston, rinlauelpliia and Baltimore nar- hannel projects, were authorized to be contracted tor to completion. Oen. foe, in charge of the two latter works, re ported that bv this system the cost ol these two projects would be $1,000,000 less than would otherwise be the case. This year the committee authorizes con tracts to be entered into, aggregating $32,151,700. Emperor William's Trouble. London, March 22.
