Some 15 or 18 years ago Judge B. J. Aston of this city was surprised to re ceive from a town in England a letter written and signed bv "Mrs. Edward Aston. The letter stated that the writer had, in looking oyer an Aheville paper. seen the advertisement of E. J. Aston, nil was rejoiced to again find a trace of her husband after weary years of waiting and ignorance as to his wherea- liouls. In the letter the writer inclosed i photograph of her son "'Valy." to whom she referred affectionately. ibe also asked if it was desired that she --in the gentleman whom she supposed was her husband in Aeheville Iodize Aston's surprise upon the re ceipt of this letter may well be imagined. He had been, as he has always done, sending Asheville papers to all parts of the world for the purpseof ad vertising the city which he has always shown his love for, sand at once surmised that the writer had seen bis advertise ment in one of these papers. which caused her to jump at the conclusion that she had discovered her lost hus band. Judge Aston im m diati-ly answered the letter, sending Mrs. Aston proofs that he was not the man she was looking for. It was afterwards charged that the husband. Edward Aston, had been an em-Itt-zzler and had lelt Bngland in disgrace. It mav. be stated here, also, that noth ing has ever been heard of the missing man. Time wore on and Mrs. Aston left her English home, coming to America with her son Edward or "Teddy," who had irown to man 8 estate ana raarriea. Judge Aston was called on and save the voung man employment in nis omce omu he could find other work. BCKlnnlUK of The Euct. About two years ago young Aston took a position on the Vanderbilt esta'e at Biltmore and was given charge of the payroll. a most re sponsible position. His employer posed implicit commence in and everything iu his rare work smoothly. Not long ago, however, two or three months, perhaps, there were certain dis coveries in Aston's accounts that led to an exa ination of bis office. Enough became known to show that there had I een crookedness, and rather than remain here and face his disgrace he left for parts unknown a man of 35 over which hung a cloud which, like a strange fatality, had. as was said, made the father u wanderer and had been transmitted the son. A few weeks ago a letter came young Aston's wife, in care of Judge As ton, for whom, though not related in the remotest degree, this bngiisn family showed every regard. The letter was written in New Orleans by young Aston, in which he informed his wife that he was tired of life and by the time she read the letter he would be beneath the waters of the Mississippi. Tlass End. The closing; scene in the life of the young man is told in the following spec ial to the Louisville Courier-Journal from Jesuit's Bend, La., under date May 2: "Dr. D. R. Fox was sent for yesterday morning to hold an inqnest on the bodv DON'T GO TO WASHINGTON Electrocuted at sIuk Mornlnir. Sing Sing, May 7. A flag was raised on the prison at 12.43 showing that Carlyle Harris had been electrocuted. Harris retired early last night, and, though he showed no signs of breaking down, he was more nervous and excited than usual. He did not sleep much. His self control, however, was marvelous. He wn up early this morning and looked over a manuscript which he had prepared to be givv 11 to the press by his relatives after the final scene in his dra matic life had ended. At 8 o'clock Har ris ate a light breakfast. Mrs. Harris having made her final visit to her son Saturday, remained at the Ambler house. Her youngest son. Allen, was with her. The flrjg announcing the suc cessful conclusion of the execution could be seen from the windows of the room occupied by Mrs. Harris, and there she watched and waited with straining eyes and subdued t;"1 r the fatal signal. The death warrant was formally read to Harris at 8:30. He displayed indif ference; its reading did not noticnblv effect him. He showed no sins of breaking down and apnea reel chc rtul after the reading of the death warrant. Harris' final word was that be whs in nocent. WHF.RK'H THE LVAK T SOT TILL. CLEVE-BECKONS.

President Cleve land has issued a letter to the public in which he says that "a due regard for public duty, which must be neglected if the present condition continues, and the observance of the limitations placed upon human endurance oblige me to decline from and after this date all personal interviews with those seeking appoint ment to office except as I on my own motion may specially invite them. 'The same considerations make it im possible for me to receive those who merely desire to pay their respects ex cept on the days and during the hours especially designated for that purpose, "Applicants for office will only prejudice their prospects by repeated importunity and by remaining at Washington await results." to SOUND HMPeK, Not the man tned to AnlievUle'H 'Water Hupplv Hacn of a Huppl v Ma-w. The trouble with thecity water supply continues. The water was off nearly all of yesterday and the same condition of things has existed today. Superintend ent Ingle asked Mr. Board man . at the pumping station, if the pumps were working and received a reply that they were. Mr. Ingle then tapped 'he main near Beaumont gap and found that there was only an inch ot water running through the pipe. This indicates an alarming leak somewhere, although the seat of trouble has not been found. A met ting of the Joint Board was called this afternoon to consider the water question, and Superintendent In gle was ordered to have the water pump connected with the old pipe line. This, it is believed, will remedy the difficulty lor the present The connection will probably be made tomorrow. HcKlnley asatara Cleveland Has ttie Confldenee off I be People. Buffalo, May 5. Gov. McKinley, en route to Ohio from Boston, stopped in in this city a short time today. In an interview this afternoon the Governor said : There is no danuer of a panic or any cause for serious alarm. It is one of the little flurries liable to come upon the people and an administration at any time. These things are always unfortu nate, and especially so when there is no apparent reason for it. I do not credit this talk about hard times. This country has too many resources and too much money. Besides that the people, irres pective ot party affiliations, have too much confidence in President Cleveland Thev would stand by and hold up his hands in every possible way reeded There is no Question about Clevilan.ls actine when he and his advisors deem it necessary- In my judgment the duty of the people at this time is to continue in tnc even tenor of their ways and all will come out well and right."
