Israel lavs It is Not. and Relates circumstances To Bear Him out lu Defence or The tuat-ter-Dav Weather. "These people who pretend to say or think that our climate is gradually chancing from a steady one to one of great variableness," said Col. J. M. Is rail to The Citizen yesterday afternoon, "do not know what they are conversing about, or have not acquainted themselves with the facts in the case." And the Colonel settled back in his of fice chair, glanced outdoors at the beau tiful weather with a contented look, and crossing his feet on top his desk began the narration. "It was in February of the year 1847," continued Col. Israel, "when I found that business would take me to Big Ivy. I started on horseback from Asheville about 0 o'clock in the morning-, at which time the atmosphere was only moderately cold, there having been rain the night before. I rodealong with little care for the weather, as the sun was shining- warmly for some time after I left. 1 crossed Beaverdam mountain, up Keems creek and then across to the waters of Big Ivy. The weather had suddenly turned cold and kept getting worse, till, when I rode through the ford, the water which was splashed up by the horse froze instantly cn my clothing and the horse's skin. "When I had crossed the ford I had to break the ice that had formed on the horse's tail. Another trouble was that ray shoes would freeze to the stirrups and it required repeated kicking on my part to separate them. Finally the weather became so bitterly cold that I found a good place to stop, and there I stayed until next dav, when the weather had moderated. The house at which I stayed was not far from the scene of the tragedy on B g Ivy two weeks ago. "In the winter of 1855-'56, I left here one Sunday to attend the January term of the county court of Yancey. Sunday was pleasant, and Monday wes warm enough for rain. Monday evening, how ever, the mercury began sinking, and continued to do so in a way that was interesting to note but unpleasant to experience. I remember that there was to be a meeting of magistrates in Burns ville, and on Tuesday morning many ot them rode their horses across Cane river on the ice which had formed in a won derfully short time. "Such sudden changes as these were of by no means rare occurrence, and it is my deliberate opinion that, instead of becoming more variable our climate is steadily becoming more equable. Facts are what we want, and 1 am satisfied from my experience in this western coun- POWELL8f. SN I DER I "proving. The improvement has been BIUW, Ul VUUI.C) UUL LUC 1 .1. V V K. lilt U I has taken place, nevertheless." Col. Israel added that he bad known the French Broad to freeze from bank to bank within 30 hours of the time when the mercury took a drop. Georgia I udge UecretH. Opposition to Crusaders. L.ITHOMA, Oa., March s. 1 he ion is shaken to its very foundations by the war inaugurated by the religious sects against dancing. Last night a military ball was giveu, in spite of the church people, who, failing to break it up bv prayer and exhortation, carried the matter into the courts and tried to get an injunction restraining the voung peo- p'e from tripping to the strains of dance music. Superior Court Judge Clark, in refus ing the injunction, said that public pol icy favored the meeting of the sexes. Continuing, he said: "Under theciicum- stances it is not rignt or proper tor me to interfere. The young ladies have gene to a great deal of trouble, 1 know, in preparing their new dresses, with all the fancy fixings known to young ladies, and the voung men have bought swal low-tail coats, low cut -csts and fnncv- bosomed shirts, and it would be highly improper for me to stop the dance at this critical period. Then, again, if I were to stop this Dan it migut break up several weddings, and the most serious consequences might follow, so 1 feel it my dutv to sav, 'on with the dance. During the dance the church .people held a prayer meeting in an adjoining church and prayed for the sinners who were dancing themselves to perdition. Washington News. 'GRANT'S PHARMACY.

Ex-Office Holders Stand N Chance This Time, Washington, March 10. Senators and representatives who called on Presi dent Cleveland this morning received confirmatory evidence of the report that Mr. Cleveland docs not intend to give offices to those who had been favored under n previous Democratic administra tion. Ex-Rcprcscntative Hemphill of South Carolina called on the President for the purpose of ascertaining whether the report was true and received an affirmative answer from Cleveland. It is likely, of course, that exceptions may be made in rare instances, and one of these is said to be that of Judge John Goode of Virginia who was nominated for solicitor ceneral but failed of confir mation by the Senate, lie cannot there fore be considered, from a technical standpoint, to have held office under Cleveland. TMK SWITCHMEN'S STRIKE. superintendent Iugle Suss If Tlie City Does Not Provide Water Sloraice soou There will be a -Water Famlue Tbls Summer. Another blowout occurred yesterday in the pipe line, beyond the mountain. This caused the water in the reservoir to run so low as to necessitate the cut ting off of the water before noon todav. The pupply will be turned into the city mains as soon as possible, but the super intendent cannot say at what hour this can be done. Waterworks Superintendent Ingle told The Citizen today that if the city authorities do not soon take some stets to either rebuild the standpipe or build a reservoir the city would have a water famine this summer. The old reservoir. w hich has been the reliance since the standpipe burst, is not ot sufficient capacity to meet the demands of the city's water consumers, and when a break in the line occurs it becomes nec essary to snut on tne supply, l he trouble and distress that will follow such a condition of affairs during the heated season, with the new system yet uncom pleted, are apparent to all. As the matter stands now the report of the reservoir committee has been adopted by the Joint Board, but, be vond getting an estimate of cost from City Hngineer Lee, no steps have been taken to do anything towards averting the consequences ot which Mr. Ingle sneaks. It the reservoir is built there must be the usual delay of advertising Tfor bids, signing contracts and executing bonds, and the same is true ot the stand pioe. This is the 10th day of March and unless something is done, and that quickly, the warm weather will be here and find the city with an inadequate supply of water and a pipe line that will appear more of a "white elephant" than anything else. Superintendent Ingle says a place of storage must be had and the matter is one to be taken hold of right, now !

Buchanan, ex-treasurer of the board of trustees of the State insane asylum, has made a confession to the committee appointed by the Governor to investigate the charges of embezzlement prefetred against him. Mr. Buchanan says that his stealing was actuated by a desire to purchase St. John's college, a Masonic institution at Little Kock. He said the college property was worth about $80, OOO and it was o lie red to him for $20,000. He intended to transfer it to a syndicate and thereby clear over $30,000. In his efforts to secure the amount necessary to purchase the col lege he had, during the past few years, taken from the treasury of the asylum the sum of $12,000. Besides this he has borrowed arious amounts of money from parties all over the State. He is unable to say what became of the money. N. Y. Sun. SAVED BV BREECHES Bl'OV. J. 3HE.

The intimation is made that the amount of small notes that will be needed will reach $10,000,000 for which cold will be paid. The Secretary will forward the small notes at once.
