Alter a abort Illness Funeral
Arriotmcnta not Vet Made.
Dr. Harry S. Williams, notice of whose
dangerous illness was given in Saturday's
Citizen, died yesterday afternoon at 2:40
o'clock, at the residence of bis father,
Dr. John Hey Williams, 53 Havwood
street.
The fatal illness of the young physician
was contracted on Sunday, December
25. just one week before bis death. Dr.
Williams kent up bis practice until Wed
nesday, when the progress of his afflic
tion forced him to go to bed, the trouble
developing into an obstruction in the
left kidney. His condition grew steadily
worse, until Friday, when the case
became so alarming that an operation
was decided upon.
favorable symptoms began, However,
and the operation was delayed twenty
four hours. But the patient grew worse
again, and on Saturday alternoon the
dangerous and difficult operation of ne
phrectomy was deemed imperative, and it
was performed by Drs. W. D. Hilliard, S.
W. Battle and J. A. Watson. The opera
tion was successful, the sufferer bravely
discussing the details of the operation
with the physicians as it was about to
be performed, but he could not with
stand the shock to his system, and died
at the hour stated.
Harry S. Williams was born on
September 7, 1865, this date being also
the anniversary of the birth of his
father and the marriage of his parents.
He was educated in the common and
high schools of Philadelphia, and the
Venable male academy, in Asheville. He
removed to Asheville with bis parents
when a boy. Later be took a course in
the Knozville Business college, Knox
ville, Tenn., and returning to Asheville
held a position in I'el ham's pharmacy
tor several years.
In 1887 voung illiams went to Los
Angeles, Cal., where be was engaged in
the oil business. Thither he went to San
Francisco, where be was a student in
medicine in Cooper Medical college
While there his sister, Miss Annie Wil
hams, who was on a visit to that city,
became ill, and he accompanied her to
her home here.
His preparation lor the practice ol
medicine was completed at the Medico
Chirurgical college at Philadelphia, from
wbich be was graduated on May 3
1892, with high honors, receiving a gold
medal and special complimentary men
tiou for high grade of scholarship, by the
distinguished surgeon. Dr. W. II. 1'an-
coast, at the commencement exercises in
the Chestnut street theater.
At college Dr. Williams was an athlete,
in physical development an Apollo, and
was noted for his love ot and interest in
manly sports. He returned to Asheville
and began the practice of bis chosen pro
fession, and was rapidly on the way to
become as eminent in the profession as
bis father. Dr. John Hey Williams. He
endeared himself to every one with whom
he came in contact, and his almost sud
den death has cast a gloom over his very
large circle of friends in Asheville. He
will be mourned as a man of unusually
bright prospects, a true friend and a
loving son and brother.
Dr. Williams was a member of the
Knights of Pythias and the Koyal Area'
num, and the first degree of Masonry
was to have been conferred upon bint
Thursday night ot this week.
The hour for the funeral has not yet
been decided upon. Will H. Williams,
brother of the deceased, is expected on
this afternoon's train, and if he arrives
the funeral and burial will take place to
morrow.

A POLITICAL SNARL.
Cornered
A Very Pretty Three
FlKllt.
Omaha, Neb., Jan. 2. On Tuesday, at
Lincoln, will open one of the prettiest
three cornered fights ever witnessed iu a
legislative session. Neither of the three
parties has sufficient strength to organ
ize either house of the Nebraska General
Assembly without the assistance ot one
of the other two, ond thus far no plan or
combination has been presented that
meets the approval of all parties inter
ested. It seems probable, however, that
the Democrats and Independents may
cet toeether before tomorrow night
In addition to the election ot Unite?
States Senator to succeed Paddock, the
Legislature will be called upon to deal
with important railroad legislation and
other matters of vital interest to the
State. Prom these reasons comes the
importance of controlling the organiza-
tion of the House, as the party holding
the organization of that body can con
trol the Legislature. It was suggested
last night that the anti-monopoly body
of the Legislature, irrespective of party,
organize the bodv and let the senatorial
fight take care of itself.
One 01 the peculiar teatures is the situa
tion in Knox county. By the decision of
the Supreme court, rendered Saturday, a
Republican will be sent to the House
from that county, instead of an Inde
pendent. To accomplish this it is neces-
sary to serve the court's writ on the
county clerk of Knox county. When the
balhtt reached the county seat Saturday
evening be found that the county clerk,
an Independent, bad decamped. 1 be
bailiff is now chasing the clerk from
place to place in order to obtain service
on him. But it is too late to comply
with the court's order, and have a Re
publican member present at the opening
session. Uniess tuc combination last
mentioned is made effective the House
and Senate will probably spend a week
getting one organized.

Tlie whlBbev T x .
Washington, Jan. 2. The recent con
ference between the President-elect and
Speaker Crisp was expected to result in
some authorized announcement on the
subject of an extra, session. While these
anticipations have not been realized,
something in the nature of a statement
on "good authority" is being passed
around mong tlie Democratic leaders.
This runs to the effect that while no final
decision will be made on the question of
an extra session of Congress until Feb
ruary, by which time the cabinet of the
President-elect will probably bave been
selected, the probabilities arc decidedly
against an extra session before next
autumn. Mr. Cleveland, it is stated,
has said to Democratic leaders in Con
gress that be will call Congress to
gether in special session. He also told
them, it is reported, that it would not
be convoked before autumn unless the
financial situation and the condition of
tbe treasury made it absolutely impossi
ble that Congress should meet in the
spring to provide the government with
the necessary amount of revenue to meet
its expenses. He wished to avoid the
necessity ot an early extra session.
Very soon after tbe holiday recess tne
sub-committee of the House committee
on Ways and Means, appointed to inves
tigate the condition of tbe treasury, will
begin its work. On the results ot its
investigatirn may possibly depend the
date at which Congress may be called
together. The conclusion on the part of
the majority ot the sub-committee, that
there will be an actual deficit in the
treasury, unless additional revenue is
raised, might induce Mr. Cleveland, it is
thought, to alter his views with refer
ence to an extra session in tbe spring.
but no otber consideration that will
bring about such a result is now fore
seen. It is the opinion ot some ot tne
leading Democrats in the House that an
investigation will show that the Treas
ury receipts and expenditures are very
nearly equal at present, and there is grave
reason to fear an excess of tbe latter in
tbe cominer fiscal vear. By tbe end of
this month, the sub-committee's work of
investigation will either be concluded or
far enough in progress to permit the
Democratic members to acquaint Mr
Cleveland with the situation and their
conclusions as to the future, so that his
final decision with reference to an extra
session may be based on full information
as to the treasurv. It is because of the
possibility of a close approximation be
tween revenues and expenditures mat
some serious attention is being paid by
Democratic members to the proposition
to increase the whiskv tax. This would
be an easy method ot raising additional
monev. and Mr. imnnirer and nis asso
ciates will take it under advisement, if
result of their investigations discloses a
call for more revenue.

An Article out hat street's Paving
That la vp to Date,
The Patton avenue paving has now
reached French Broad avenue aud with
good weather may be at Grove street by
this week Saturday. From Ann street
to French Broad avenue the bricks
seem to be much nearer the specifica
tions than from Depot street to Ann
street. The first hundred feet from
Depot street is very rough. The paying
between tne track ot the btreet railway
company is done, in spots only, from
Depot street to Ann street, and is also
very rough to look at. besides having a
'crown" of its own that gives the paving
the appearance of having a hump in it
somewhat like tbe aldermanic midnight
backbone from the square to the Federal
building, which looks all the worse now
that the street, for that distance, is
cleaned daily setting an example that
tbe city could follow with advantage to
its looks, to say tbe least. Tbe paving
on Patton avenue between the rails from
Depot street to Ann street is altogether
of stone.
No sidewalk has yet been laid on Pat
ton avenue, beyond Bailey, despite
the order of the Board of Aldermen
to begin the work a month or
more ago. To add to the discom
fort of persons living on that street
tbe brick for tbe sidewalk is, in placet,

A Woman Anarchist "Who
For Blood.
Madrid, Spain, Jan. 22. Sixteen bun
dred anarchists held a reunion yesterday
evening in Barcelona, to celebrate the
new year. There was much incendiary
talk and several of the speakers predicted
a reign of bloodshed and terror in Spain
during the year just opened. A leading
anarchist, one Valas declared that he
meant to inaugurate 1893 with a bap
tism of blood. Great shouts of approval
and torrents of denunciation of grandees
and the middle classes followed tl i dec
laration.
A woman anarchist named Theresa
Caremunt then sprang to the platform
She was as fiery an enemy of tbe estab
lished order of things as Louise Michel,
and a good deal handsomer.
" Go borne! sue cried, witn ttasinng
eyes and tossing her hair; "go home, for
the present, and save centimes that the
oppressors allow you to earn while they
revel in wealth, bave a wretcned pit
tance to buy rifles and prepare to execute
our bloodsucking capitalists .and their
miserable tools. Destruction is provided
for them in the anarchist s programe
Howls and shouts of applause broke in
UDon tbe words of the speaker,
"Give them no quarter." she cried.
'I will lead to the points of bayonets."
The whole audience seemed frenzied by
the woman's utterances, and there might
have been an adverse demonstration,
but for tbe interference ot some of the
cooler heads who succeeded in calming
tbe excited gathering.

Walnut Cove, N. C.Dec. 31. On last
Monday night, 26tb, near Neatman

who was of bad character, about ten
steps from tbe bouse and beat her head

while Stevenson came back and attempt
ed to shoot the six-year-old boy of Mrs.
Watson, and would have done so bad it
not been for Voss striking his hand as he
fired, causing the ball to go over him.
Mrs. Watson was found the next morn
ing near the house with a log across her
head and shoulders that wouia weign

today that the steel hawser with which

because of the strain upon it. A
clean nick in one of tbe strands indicates
that tbe hawser was cut aboard the

no time to back the engines so that the
