THE ASMEVIXiXiE DAILY CITIZEN. Monday Evening, January 16, 1893. SPEAKING WEATHERWISE THE THERHOHETEK TO 9 BELOW. UOK8 AROUND TOWN. Borne Tblnaa One Mast Have are Rlaloar In Price On tne at" urpbv Branch An Ice Gorg-a at Mot Sprlna;. Asheville still has what is known the world over as weather of the genuine bimon-purc sort. Last night was the coldest of the winter, anil people who went to church had a cold time of it. The lowest point reached by the mercury during the night was U 2-5 degrees be low zero. Today has been sunny and cold. The cold spell has a fleeted the prices of many of the necessaries of life. Flour advanced 25 cents on the barrel last week. Bacon and hams are up, and potatoes have not yet stopped rising in price. They are quoted now at $1.20 and a merchant predicted this morning that they would go to $1.50. The tubers have been frozen in great quantities dur ing the past week, and very few are com ing in. It is said that Dr. Cliff, of this county, lost GOO bushels. The steam pipes in the First Baptist church burst from Saturday night's cold. In consequence of the accident no services were held there yesterday, day or night. A number of peo ple, who knew nothing of the ac cident, went to the church last night to hear Pastor White's sermon on "Proper Amusements," but found thechurch dark and the doors locked. Rev. J. C. Troy held no service at Riverside church last night on account of the cold. A hydrant at the intersection of North Main and Chestnut streets leaked a great deal yesterday. The water ran over the street car track, and the car could not go beyond that point until a force of hands, with shovels and picks, cleared the track. The car on this line made perhaps a dozen trips during the entire day. A burst water pipe on Char lotte street created a similar condition of things yesterday and this morning, and will continue to make trouble for the cars until the city repairs its main. The Ducktown train which left here Saturday morning at 8:30 o'clock did not reach Murphy until yesterday after noon at 1:25. On the Balsam mountain the snow is 21 inches deep, and the ther mometer has ranged from 12 to 15 de grees below zero. The Nantahala and Tuckaseegee rivers are frozen over. Rev. Geo. H. Bell tells The Citizen that at Hot Springs on Saturday the snow was six inches deep, and there was ice in the river for a distance of a mile and a half. An ice gorge formed in the river, the blocks being piled up to a height of fourteen feet at the hotel bridge, and twenty feet at the W. N. C. railroad bridge. The sight presented by this ice gorge, Mr. Bell says, was mag nificent. It is reported that at Paint Rock, on the line between North Carolina and Tennessee, the snow s nine inches deep and the thermometer dropped to 1 degrees below zero. CALLS HIM ' COPKI.IAS. Mr. Cleveland H1npronooace tlie Name of a Good Democrat. Hon. Kope Blias of Franklin, Macon county, who wishes the position of dis trict attorney for the Western district of North Carolina, has been in Washington looking after his business, and here is what the Washington correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch says of him: "Just alter being elected as a delegate it is said be had the political foresight to write Mr. Cleveland and state that he (Elias) was the only one in the North Carolina delegation who would stick to the ex-President at Chicago through thick and thin. He has, it is stated, had three conferences with the President elect since the election and cherishes no resentment against him, even if Mr. Cleveland unwittingly mixed up the name of the jolly fellow from the moun tain country and insisted on calling him 'Mr. Copt-lias' instead of 'Mr. Elias.' " BUNCOMBE TEACHERS. Third Quarterly Meeting to be Held Here Next Saturday.

FRANK O'D0N!El.I.'H LOSS. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Asheville Man parts 'Willi 'Watch an Diamond In Cincinnati. Capt. Frank O'Donnell, of Hose com pany No. 1 , Asheville, who has been on a Western trip for several months, went into Cincinnati last week. He was taken sleighriding Wednes day by some friends. He re turned to the Gibson house and retired early. The remainder ot the story is told bvthe CincinnatiTribuneasfollows: "Yestcrdav morning about 4 o'clock O'Donnell's bell began to ring with a fier.dish persistency that armed the night porter with wings to see what was the matter, lo him the guest remarked in some excitement that he had been robbed during the night of a gold watch, a dia mond stud, worth some hundreds of dol lars, and what money he happened to have in his trousers pocket. At the breakfast hour Mr. Dunbar was notified of the loss and tried to obtain a lucid ac count of the previous evening's doings. Hereon tne gentleman from the south was vague and unsatisfactory. Hecould not tell for the life of him whether he had lost his valuables before coming into the house or not. But the men in whose company be was were reputable, so that not the slightest taint ot suspicion gathers in that direction. Mr. Dunbar took immediate hold ot the affair, al though it is in no sense the fault ol the hotel." License to Wets. T. P. Gaston and Lucy S. Moore, of Buncombe; white. THE MARKETS. Mew York Market.

Where Uood Roads Are the Rule Editor Tiik Citizen: To anyone barn aud brought up in a country bless ed with good roads, it seems marvellous that any community would or could get along without them. I remember when I came to this country eleven years ago (it happened to be raining at the time) I was simply amazed when I first set eyes on the roads and saw the poor horses and mules wading through the kuec deep mud. I bad never seen a dirt road in all my life before, and had not thought omnoiiig sucu a tinng nit ;ie great united States of America. In Scotland the highways are excellent everywhere. Avvav up among the moors and mountains wliere nothing is grown but sheep and heather vou will find ma cadamized roads as smooth and hard as South Main street. Close bv the great cities where the traffic is hcay the same Kina or roads prevail and answer every purpose. Acrossthegreatmorass known as Airds Moss in Ayrshire there is a good road made, where, if vou s-t foot off the highxvay, you would probably sink to the middle in black peat moss. The peo ple there have realized that there is no place where a good road cannot be made and no place where it does not pay to make it. I have told this tale, over and over again, to hundreds of people in North Carolina, but 1 do not think I ever met with one person who ulaccd iniulicit faith in it. Uven Captain Patton him self, who now so graphically describes and enthusiastically praises the bcotch roads, admitted, when became back from Scotland the first time, that he did not quite take it all in until l.e saw for him self, and then he found that "the half bad uot been told h n." Captain Pattou's plan ol sending young men over to see Uuioiican roads and be convii.ccd, would be a good one it we could afford to send them all, but you would have to send every man, woman and child before all would be lieve. It will reouirea large amount of money to give us good roads all over the coun ty, but it cannot tail to be a good invest ment. At present, even when the roads are at their best, ii.OOO pounds is a good load for two mules, whereas in Scotland they never thought of loading a one horse cart with less than 3.360 pounds, and I had a horse once which hauled a stone weighing 03 cwt., two miles over one of our common country roads. 1 sincerely hope and believe that at the public meeting on Tuesday, the people will he not only willing but anxious to vote for road reform. Scotia. If You Want to FIT UP YOUR OFFICE HANDSOMELY To the M. . C. A. Eurroit Tin; Citizen : If the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals could brave the elements for a walk on Bailey street they would witness a sight sufficient to freeze tne blood in their veins, and which might move them to action. In a perfectly barren lot, No. lbj, two halt paralvxcd cows arc en closed. The wintry blasts pierce them tlarough and through; snow and s eet freeze upon their backs; their frozen limVr can barely support them. They have no water and are scarcely given any food. There is not so much as a tree, a board, the side of a bouse or barn to shield them from the blizzards. A". Intending visitors to the World's Fair ought to secure special rates at once. Apply to .
