D. D. Adams, the well known brick mason, committed suicide in the coal ce!l.-r of his home, 384 West Haywood street about 11 o'clock, today, by cutting bis thront with a razor. For several months oast Mr. Adams' health had been poor, and at irregular intervals his actions gave evidence that he was insane. Mrs. Adams had heard him say that it would be better if he were dead, and on one occasion had threat ened to take his life. Knowing this, Mrs. Adams kept her husband's pistol and razor locked up out of hisjeacb. al lowing him to use the latter in shaving himself, and in her presence. So marked had the signs of insanity become recently that Mrs. Adams sent for W. F. Adams, a brother of her hus band, the idea being to take him back to his old home in Maine, with the hope that his mind would improve. Mr. Adams, the brother, arrived in Asheville a day or two ago, and was preparing to leave on the 2:4-f train this afternoon, taking his brother with him. D. D. Adams knew of the trip, and had taken oart in the preparations lor bis departure. He asked for hid razor and shaved himself, while Mrs. Adams busied herself packing his trunk. When the work of shaving was completed Mr. Adams gave his wife the razor, and she laid it upon a shelf in the cupboard. Mrs. Adams' work then called her to another room for a few minutes. When she returned her husband had left the room, but his absence did not alarm her, as she believed he hud gone into the yard. A minute or two nassed. and as Mr. Adams did not return, his brother and Mrs. Adms began a search. Mrs. Adams noticed that the raxir had disappeared and the searchers finally went into the coal cellar, where they found Mr. Adams Iving on his left side, with his head against the chimney. There was a gash about three inches long in his throat. In Ins left hand was the case from which he had tnktn the razor, which was on the steps near by. covered with blood. The razor stroke had sev ered the internal carotid nrtery md the intern! jugular vein, and death hiid fol lowed witi'.in iierhaps half a minute. Coroner L 1$. McU'aycr was notified of the suicide and summoning a jury composed of H. S. Harkins, E. I '. Gilkey, T. W. Shclton. B. L. Trexler. N. S. Dixon and I. B. Cole, held an inquest, at which the facts as stated were brought out. Mr. Adams was a native of Maine, his former home beinu in a small town near Gardner, ct that State. He was about 55 years of age, and served through the war in the Union army. He came to Asheville with his wife about 1 .. years ago, and has lived here ever since, work ing at his trade, in which he was an ex pert. He was worth several thousand dollars. He leaves no children. The remains of Mr. Ada'tis will prob ablv be taked to his old home tomorrow.

Hhe Probably Foundered Nearer Time American coasl Tiiau Has Seen Hnpposed Hurvlvora May Have Been Picked U-p. Bremkn, March 20. After long con tinued anxiety regarding the fate of the White Star line freight steamer Naronic, which sailed from Liverpool February 11 for New York, and which has not since been heard of, intelligence has been received showing, beyond any doubt, that tbe vessel is lost. The British steamer Coventry, Captain Wilson, from Fernantliiia, Fla., Fcbru- IMPORTANT -NOMINATIONS stcnt to the: senate:. ary lO. arrived at this port today, oho OUT GO THE REPUBLICANS rePrM? that two o'clock in the morn- lug ui xuarcn . w ucn in idiuuuc . -. longtitude 4G W., she passed a lifeboat oainted wbite end bearing; the name Naronic. Tbe boat was floating keel up- rd. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day another lifeboat from the Naronic was passed. This boat gave evi dence of having encountered heavy weather. The mast and oars of the life boat had been lashed together attached to tbe painter and then thrown over board as a sea anchor to keep the boat's head up to tbe wind and sea. Judging from appearances neither ot the boats had been long adrift. The position of the drifting boats was south by west of Sable Island, on the banks of New Found- land, there is a chance tbat the occu pants of the boats were picked up by a passing vessel.

Carring ton. who formerly conducted u coal of fice ou northeast court place and a fruit and cigar stand in the Armstrong build ing next door to The Citizkn office, dis appeared from Asheville so quietly as to make it almost certain that he left to rid himself of the pressure brought on him by his creditors. Among Carrington's liabilities was a note given the Battery Park bank, en dorsed, among others, by J. McD. Whit son. deputy clerk of the Superior court, to the extent of $100. Mr. Whitson not wishing to lose his money, had an at tachment served on the stock in Carring ton's fruit and cigar stand, which had been recently removed to the market house. The goods were also attached by T. C. Smith & Co. But here a trouble arose. Carrington, before he left, it appears, bad assigned the stock to Mrs. Carrington, who ap peared in the character of an inter pleader, w hen the matter came before justice Israel Saturday afternoon. Mr. Whitson was represented by Tucker & Murphv, while Mrs. Carrington's coun sel were Chas. A. Moore and . W. Sum mers. There was considerable discus sion between the counsel on both sides. and the iustice decided to hear the case on tbe 15th of April. Mr. Whitson is not the only one who was interested in Carrington's action. Prof. B. E. Atkinsof the Asheville Female college. Dr. T. C. Smith and A. C. Dtyis, had endorsed for him in amounts aggre gating nearly $500. The statement was made in Justice Israel's office Saturday that Carrington was writing home in envelopes on which no postmark appeared, in order that bis creditors might not learn of his where abouts. It was also said that he had written Mrs. Carrington stating that be desired the payment of bis creditors, but that he could not return to Asheville for a time. His Pine Sermon In Norlb Ashe vllle Yesterday Morning?. Yesterday morning just before the hour for service at the North Asheville Metho dist Episcopal church. South, a pleasant- faced, clerical-looking gentleman entered the church and walked up the aisle to the pulpit, where he introduced himself to the pastsr, Rev. R. D. Sherrill, who was preparing to deliver his sermon, as Bishop Fitzgerald. Although Mr. Sherrill had no idea of the presence of a bishop in Asheville, he felt highlv pleased over the honor con ferred by the selection of hig church for the visit from a bishop, and immediately levrged him to fill tbe pulpit at that ser vice. Bishop Fitzgerald said he had come to listen and not to preach, but consented. and Mr. Sherrill proudly announced that the congregation would be treated to a sermon by Bishop Fitzgerald, of the M. E. church. South. The bishop fulfilled every expectation of the congregation. His sermon was elegant yet simple, mag netic, powerful, and many pronounced it one ol the best sermons they had ever listened to. At the conclusion of his sermon Bishop fitzgerald, witn a twinkle in his eye, told his hearers be wised to correct an error into which Mr. Sherrill had fallen. "Brother Sherrill." the bishop said, "stated that Bishop Fitz gerald, of the Southern church, would preach. 1 he mistake is an easy one to make; 1 am Bishop Fitzgerald, but of tbe Northern church." The bishop. Pastor Sheriill and the congregation laughed, and all went home feeling none the less happy because of the correction ot tbe mistake. It was Bishop J. N. Fitzgerald of New Orleans who filled the pulpit. The bishop arrived in the city a day or two ago. accompanied by his wife and daughter They are staying at the Battery Park Raltllntc Dote Piicbt In The Post office Yesterday Af ternoon. He was a little, dainty, auburn-haired poodle, full of life, and "clear grit," and he followed his mistress into the post- office late yesterdav afternoon. While his mistress stood just inside the door. on the Patton avenue side waiting for the general delivery window to open Dixie, which was his poodleslnp s name. employed himself as all good doggies should, in dress parad-ng near the door. apparently a happy as bappv could be But this is a talc ot two doggies, and t never would have been told had Dixie been allowed to attend to his own medi tations. As he paused near the door a man entered, followed by a big, shaggy setter, name unknown. lixie eyed the newcomer non chalantly, but the big dog wasn't to be disposed of so summarily He humped his back made a spring and crabbed Dixie by the nape of of the neck. There was a yelp and a howl and then followed one c f the hot test dorr fights ever seen, and tbe first one that has occurred in Uncle Sam $100,000 bouse. Dixie was fighting for life, and right pluckilv, too; his mistress was calling on the bystanders (the cor ridors were crowded ) to part the com batants, and the men, or the majority of them, were crowding around the seat of war and wickedly veiling "Go it, little un!" and kindred expressions. A couple of peacemakers stepped in. however, and relieved Dixie of his part in the unequal catcl.-as-catch-caii strug gle. Tbe doggie was caught up and tenderly examined by the mistress. No bones were broken, but Dixie trotted off ,'ith a distressing little limp. And this is the end of tbe tale of two dogs. GRANT'S PHARMACY.
