The path of a cyclone which entered Tennessee yesterday afternoon in a southwesterly direction from Mississippi appears to have been about 20 miles in width, although serious damage was confined to a much smaller area. The wires are down in all directions. There is no tele graphic communication with Nashville and intervening points and little news is obtainable from places visited by the c- clone. This city Uarely cscapvd. A heavy rain fell and a high .wind blew at the time the cyclone raged nd it be came as dark as nij;nr. for tinny min utes. Heavy damage was done to trees and small outbuildings. The train from Birmingham, Ala., arrived late last night and the passengers report much damage between here and Byhalia, 20 miles cast. At 2:30 o'clock this morning a wire at Kelly, Miss., was tapped and the details telegraphed show that the early reports were not exaggerated. Not a house es caped the storm's fu y and only a few arc left standing and they are badly damaged. The house ot Roland Co was lifted bodily and blown away, not a niece of timber was left. The house of Robert Steven'- was levelled to a neap Ol ruins. the residence ot It. N. Harris, a wealthy planter was wrecked and the houses of his tenants were blown away Three houses belonginc: to S.

H.Jamison and his wife against the four men who made such a daring rush for freedom, and the bravery ot Mrs. Jamison is especially commented upon. Had she been less prompt, Whittemore and Lewellyn would doubtless have reached the open air, after which their capture would have been a question. Whittemore. when the pair approached the main door, carried the kevs in one- hand and the jailer's pistol in the other, having wrested them from him during the fight in the cell. In another moment, the key would have been fitted i' the lock and these two men would have had nothing between them and liberty except u flight of stairs and a low plank (eiice. Had thev once gotten outside the main door, who will say that these men, each of whom has killed his man, would have hesitated at the commission ot another crime, pcrh.ips the killing ot the jailer's wite, in order to cttect their liberty f Mrs. T -unison is a small, pleasant-laced woman ot 36 years, and such a thing as fear is something she has yet to be in troduced to. Her maiden name was Brooks, and she was born and reared in Buncombe. 1U miles west of Asheville. The farm on which she spent her girl hood is now owned by her husband. Mr. Jamison has held the position ol jailer for Buncombefor five years. In all this time not one prisoner left in his care has escaped. He is 47 years old, and has proven that he is "clear grit, some one said to him yesterday, "11 I were in your place 1 would take a dozen pistols into the .ells with me. The jailer laughed and shook h s head. ' One is enough," he said, "for there is always another one outside the cells th.it can be trusted," referring to t he pistol in the hands ot his wite. The attempted escape yesterday em phasizes more forcibly the recommenda tion of the grand jury of the last Criminal court that a wall be built about the jail. As it stands now, the prisoner who might be so lucky as to get into the jail yard would ha,vc nothing to separate him trom freedom except a pianic tcuce, the sealing of which would be the work of only an instant.

In the Depart ment of Cauca, in the Republic of Colu.n hia, the volcano Sotara has been unusu ally active of late, and the people of that region have been greatly excited by the rumbling of the earth and the extraor dinary violence of the volcanic eruption. Suddenly, while the volcano was recently belching forth flame and smoke to u great height, the earth began to shake as if the most violent convulsion was in progress. The great mountain ridge suddenly sank along its entire extension. The inhabitants in the vicinity who had a chance to escape, fled in terror from the scene, ami not too soon, as the sunken ridge dammed up three risers and added devastation to the terrors of the earth quake and volcano. Twelve persons arc known to have perished and many cattle were destroyed. More destruction is feared as the rivers whose channels have beeu obstructed nre rising rapidly. Great suffering .pre vails in Cauta, usually the most flourish ing department of Colombia, and many people are starving, owing to the failure of the crops. This new and unexpected calamity has added greatly to the gen eral wretchedness. Of IHW just CP. 28 South Main 8t., mch7 RAV - Asheville. N. C. FITZPATRICK BROS., Contractor, and Dealer.

Years ago it was sold at sheriff's sale for John Garrett's debt, the pur chasers being Thos. and Hugh Johnston.

It was the case of the South ern Pacific railroad, company, and in volved the question of the right of that company to lands -within its granted limits, and the limits of the grant to the Atlantic and Pacific rilroad company, basing its claim on the ground that the latter company never complied with the rcuuirements of its erant in the matter of locating its road and the forfeiture of its grants in 188G.
