f- K I THE ASHEVITjLE DAILY CITIZEjS. Friday Evening, January 13, 1893. TO CHICAGO BY BOAT. I ARHIINn THUM I r j Trcr viptw rirniwj I ' " - mam Si : i n h i Nol Trip to be Taken by Three Aabevllle Men. From Asheville to the World's Fair by boat ! How does that strike the reader of The Citizen? Yet that is the trip which a trio of Ashcville young men are to take. The adventurers are Messrs. W. H. Vaughao, O. W. Vaughan and James Sorrells. The boat to be used was made in this city, and can now be seen in the building on West College street, in rear of tbe Grand opera bouse. It is sixteen feet long, three feet wide and weighs 400 ponnds. It has side wheels, with eight paddles each, which will be worked by a pulley. A tent has been constructed for the boat, of 16-ounce ducking, and a stove will serve to make the cralt com fortable in the coldest weather. Tbe boat has been christened the "Swanna noa." and is painted white, with borders of red. Tbe voyagers will carry a bird dog, shotguns and pistols, with ammunition for bunting. The days will be put in on the water and the trio will camp out at night. When provisions run low a few days will be spent on the shore hunting, until tbe locker is replenished. Tbe trip is to be made by way of the French Broad, Holston, Tennessee, Ohio and Illinois rivers and the Illinois canal. The boat will be launched here as soon as the weather moderates and tbe dis tance will be covered by easy stages, the voyagers expecting to reach Chicago be fore North Carolina day, August I'M, at the World's Fair. The boat will prob ably be exhibited at tbe Fair. The voung men are elated over the prospects of tbe trip, and expect to have plenty of fun on their long water junket. A NORNINO PAPER. Ass Association Hai Start One In AsnevlUe Boon. A movement is now on foot, which bus not lully developed as yet, looking to the establishment of a morning paper in Asheville.

Carly Morning; Race Down Houtu Main street. A slick street car track on the South Main street grade below the car shed early this morning caused car No. !) on the Asheville street railway to take a wild chase after itself down the bill. The car started at tbe usual speed, but its pace began to quicken, and Motor man Phil. Williams and Conductor Millican applied the brakes, but it did no good, and the runaway car could not be checked until it struck the switch at tbe Goodlake curve. When it reached this point the car left the track and ran out towards Biltmore for about fifty yards, over the new pavement and then canity turned crosswise in the street in an attempt to look back at the track over which it had made such fast time. There were several passengers on the car, but none of them were hurt. Tbe damage to the car was insignificant, and it was soon making regular trips.
