That truth is stranger than fiction is
demonstrated conclusively by mi Enoch
Arden case with variations that has de
veloped in Asheville, with the scenes laid
in Yancey and Buncombe counties.
The story with which this article hits
to do begins about four vears aso. in
Yancey county, where lived Amos M.
M. Austin, his wife, Annie Austin, and
their six chilJren. One day, the ilay on
which this story begins, Austin iind

The wife, in order to be near her hus
band, came to Asheville with the chil
dren, and have since made their home
here, several ot the littleotu-s having been
given homes with families in the city.
Austin was tried, convicte.l ol man

penitentiary at Kaleiuh. After he had

courjle lived happily together until sev
eral months ago, when Mrs. Jdorgan
was thrown inot a state bordering; on
frenzy by the receipt of a letter from
husband No. 1, whom she had believed
dead for so many months. The matter
was laid before the latter-dav husband
and to him Mrs. Morgan, (or Austin
imncrted the iuiormation that she could
no longer live with him. That day she
left him.

fainting fits. His case was brought t
the attention of the Governor nnd Aus

Freight traffic over the Richmond and

heavy now. Eight freight trains daily
are now necessary to meet the demands.
This is double the number in use two
weeks ago, and the indications point to
a demand for additional trains in the
near future.

Bolt and Ran Patlon Aveuae
Next Tlmlnir, Cars.
A half hundred men, employed by the
Asheville Street Railway company,
arose early this morning, and with the
necessary tools went to work tearing up
the paving on Patton avenue and relat
ing the track, which has been off the
avenue since last summer, when the city
authorities did their locally famous
night work.
Between the Eiuare and llavwnod
stiect the work was easy, as nothinR but
the rails were removed by the city, leav
ing the ties and chairs intact, and only
a portion of the paving and some of the
ties were removed. After the workmen
passed Haywood street, however, the
work was more tedious, as the pavement
bad to be torn up to a width consider
ably more than that required by the
track, in order to give room for the
placing of the ties. The work progressed
rapidly. There was no cessation of the
traffic, and vagons, loaded heavily,
drove across the openings in the pave
ment at will, grinding off the exposed
ends of the bricks. It seemed nobodv's
business to close the avenue to these
wagons.
Oae thing was very apparent iu the
paving west of Haywood street, and
that was that very little tar bad been
used on the bricks when the pavement
w.-is lnid. the workmen beine able, in
manv instances, to l it the single bricks
with their hands.
Receiver Maddux told Tiik Citizen
this morning that the work would pro
gress with all possible dispatch, and that
cars would would be running as soon as
the track could be uut in condition. He
also said he had received many expres
sions of iov from residents of the West
End over the nrospect of cars on that
division.

A correspondent of Tm: Ci tizi.n writ
ing from Candler, Buncombe county,
says :
"In your issue of yesterday, I noticed
a joke on one of Buncombe's postmas
ters, entitled 'One of Wanny's 1'. M.'s.'
The postmaster at Candler wishes to let
the readers of The Citizl.n and the
Charlotte Observer know tu-.it he did
not rea uire the p.-iv men t of postage, as
stated in that article, nor tiid he sav
anything whatever to any correspondent
about the Columbian stamps. lie has
on hand a large supply of the Columbian
stamps and cancels a large number ol
them every day.
"The facts are as follows: Air. Hen
ry's correspondent wished to joke him
and pretended to be ignorant ot what
the Columbian stamps were. lie wrote
a letter to Mr. Henry and made the
statements in. it that said article revealed.
He intended to put a Columbian stamp
on the letter to Mr. Henry, that be
might catch on to the joke, but failed to
do so because he had some of the old
issue on hand. So Mr. Henry thought
that the statements in the letter were
true, when thev were only a joke. Mr.
Henry's correspondent attends to the
! O. himself, but Mr. Henry does not
know it."

Dr. J. H. Lee of Atlanta will lecture at
the Y. M. C. A. on Fridav evening, his
subject being "Henry V. Grady, editor,
orator and man." Commenting upon
Dr. Lee's book, "The Making of Man,"
the New York Tribune says of him :
"This book at once gives its author a
place, and no mean place, in the world
ot contemporary thought. It is one of
the truest, keenest and most brilliant
studies of man in relation to the universe
that have appeared in this cunntrv for
years. In its insight and wealth ol
thought, it is not unworthy to be ranked
with the best work of Huxley or Spencer,
and in the beauty of its literary form
and breadth of treatment it need not fear
comparison with Umerson at his best.
There is n freshness, a virility, and a joy
ous note of faith running through every
one of the seven chapters of the book
that of themselves would arrest attention."

J. M. Gudger, jr., who h.isju- t returned
from a trip to Madison county, tells
Thk Citizhn that there is :i great deal of
opposition to the proposition to annex
a portion of that county to Buncombe,
as contemplated by a bill introduced in
the House of Representatives at Raleigh.
The reason this opposition has not been
manifest ere this is. that the county has
bad . no notice of the proposed change,
and heard of it for the first time only a
few days ago. Mr. Gudger says peti
tions are btinjr circulated, and generally
signed, against the annexation, and that
the Madisonians declare their intention
of herhting the proposition to the end, in
the Legislature, and, if necessary, in the
courts.
