The big festival. Hint is to sliow out siders and munv people at home just what the Queen City of tlic Mountains can do in the way of I'tiriiisliin; amuse- mcnts for the people who come within her borders, began today. Asheville has had possibly more than her share of rain within the past week or so, and everybody lias been making weather guesses and hoping with all their hearts that the wetness would let up for just one week. The people came iu, though, and when they came up town this morning the sun was shining its brightest and everything pointed to a pleasant dav. Up to '.) o clock, at which tunc the lirst ittraetion, the bin shoot, bewail, the crowds stood around the square specu lating on the result o! tlic contests, list ening to the inspiring band music and admiring the city s Gala Week style in general. the way iu which Aslievillc s iiusincss linns have gone into decorating their buildings today has been a caution. The rain vestcrdav afternoon stopped the work temporarily. Today has been fair, however, with the exception- ol fog this iiiorning.nnd artistic hands have been busy putting Gala Week clothes on the buildings. Probably the most elaborate decora tions arc those on the Swannanoa hotel. It is almost a solid i.iass of bunting l'owell it Snidcr's, A. M. Field's and the city hall are also decorated in fine style and Tub Citizkk otlicc has something worth looking nt. Hut this by no means comprises the list of buildings in holiday attire. The merchants have nearly all gone in with the right spirit ami no one can complain ol the way they have nc gun the Week.

Forty men were f itting in the court house last night about 11 o'clock, when Col. Thos. 1!. Long, chief marshals of the third p.irty hosts, called the tliird party ratification meeting to order. Two of this party were known to be third party advocates Col. Long and Maj. VV. II. Malonc but as for the re mainder, they were members of tliedetuo cratic and rciiubhcnn laiths, so lar as known. In culling the meeting to order Col Long asked the crowd to gather as near the speaker's stand as possible as he was lionise and could not speak very loud. The crowd did as rciiuestcd and Col. Long began his talk, reviewing the work of the late Omaha convention. 1 he Colonel said that if the news of the riots it Homestead, Pa., had been received by th convention before it adjourned it would have gone in a body to Home stead and assisted in the protection of the laborers in the Carnegie mills. The members of the convention heard of the riots, Col. Long said, at Kansas City, and he had never seen such nn exhibition of feeling in his life. "If the democrats of the country Had fulfilled their promises to the people," said Col. Long, "there woidd never have been o third nnrtv-i The haven't pass ed the free coinage bill nor repealed the national banking system. "If a gold standard meeting should be held in the court bouse the hall would oe filled. "The people's party convention has closed the chasm of sectionalism by nom inating a democrat for president nnd an cx-conledcratc for vice-president. It is the fust convention to declare for an eight hour working day. II Greshainhad been in Omaha he could not have been nominated because he did not stand squarely on the demands of the people's party. "If the people's party movement con tinues to grow as it has done lately wc will put our man in the presidential chair, and there will be no danger of throwing the election into the senate. "Don't think the people's party don't amount to anything because sonic of the national bank men have gone around town and said 'Don't go to the meeting tonight let's kill the people's party right now !' What a set of greenhorns to think we cannot cany North Carolina!" Col Lonueloscd his address by rending a'poem on the death of the late leader of the nconle s partv. Col. L 1.. 1'olU. lie read the following which he wanted adonted. but no vote was called on its ailontiou: "Resolved. That this mass meeting ol the people's party recommend that the state eonventioti ol said party which is to assemble in Raleigh on the HHh ol August, full v consider the claims of W. II. Worth, of Wake county, for the position of coventor, and we further endorse him for that position." Mai. Malonc followed Col. Lung in sncccii. touching nrinciiially upon the financial side of the questions of the day, It was 1 1 o clock when Mai. Malonc concluded, and the crowd, which had lwindlcd to a dozen or so, filed out, without a motion to adjourn.

At a few min utes past 0 o'clock the cry went up, "The troops areeoming ! The troops are com ing!" and instantly there wag great ex citement. 1 he militia came in by rail from above the town and at once sur rounded the Carnegie mills. The troops were received with a few ehecis from the surrounding bv-standers as the train rolled in, und most respect ful consideration was accorded them in every respect. One company was at once detached on picket duty and a line immediately thrown out among the mill yards. Then the main body of the troops marched down the streets headed by a regiment band and along what is known as "Scab Hill," an eminence ovcrlookin;; the mills and the scene of last week's hostilities, its bluff was covered with spectators, mostly women. There was not the slightest manifestation of hostility. In twenty minutes the works were en tirely surrounded, and the Carnegie mills were once more in the hands of their owner. All the surrounding streets were patrolled by pickets and guurdsat every street intersection kept the crowd at n respectable distance and prevented the assembling of groans of strikers. Immediately after the troops had surrounded the works several compa nies suddenly marched directly to the heart ofthe little town ol Homestead. One company halted near to strikers' headquarters, another inarched to the vicinity of the depot and the tliird oc cupied a slight eminence, commanding the commercial centre of the town Homestead was in the hands of the mili tary nnd martial law hadfsuccceded the arbitrary reign ofthe advisory commit tee.

Shortly after '.) o'clock lastevening while the city coun cil was in session, the chief of police an nounced that n report had just reached lum that two or three hundred negroes armed with Winchester rifles, had i grcgatcd in the vicinity ol tlic jail, pre pared for an attack. The council at once adjourned. The mavor at once sent a despatch to the governor asking him to order out a com pany of the state guard. The sheriff at once gathered a posse composed of 50 7o men armed with snot guns and re- olvers. The fust cause of the uprising is the hanging of Charles Hill, a negro who tde an assault upon Luna htar. 1 lie immediate cause of the outbreak, as ited by a negro last night, is the arrest a negro man named 1 nomas uurgess, At 10:;i0 o'clock the marshal and mayor returned to the jail and dispersed the squads of negroes under promise that no violence sliould be (lone tlie pris oner in jail. The marshal addressed the own ul white people and told iiiem to go to their homes us the negroes were dispersins nnd violence need not now be ircd. 1 lus tlie people began to no, nnu a lew minutes thecrowd ivas dispersed. aving in charge the militia and about to armed citizens.

The militia also retired in disorder back of the court house where thev kept up firing until the negroes had disai- ueared down the street, retreating back to the Odd Fellows' lodge, which had been their chief headquarters during the night. T he police have arrested over uO ne groes for carrying arms and they arc uanled to prevent any lurlhcr attempt to release them. The mortal wounding of voung Ld wards has aroused a storm of mdigii tion that is kept from breaking out with .blhciilty and an attempt to avenge Ins untimely death is almost certain to made.
