AVeatcrn North Carolina loat one of the best of men that have lived in her borders. Though for nearly a score of years shut oat from the light of reason, the pood w. irks to which 1-c waa always Willing to devote his ener gies have borne fruit nnd wilt perpetual and make his name a houaeholrl word i t he remote western section of the State for lone years to come. And not Alone in the homes of his rel.: tives nnd fru"?ls of the while race will this noble spirit be mournetl. In r ar . a little home among the In Jians in Jacl -son and Swain comities there is sonov. tonight as the father tell the news lie hns heard ol the death ot Col. Thomas, ami then calls his little ones about hir.i and to them points out the character t the man as one thrice worthv of emul; -tion. Among the red men in the west ther will be tears shed over the death of tbt nan whom, above all others, thev trus ted implicitly. The Colonel had done so much for the Cherokees, had spent so much time among them, and in everv way showed the deepest interest in the advancement of the tribe, that the affec tion they feel for him is little short of worship. It was Col. Thomat who, during the late war, organized Thomas' battalion, composed of Indians. He was the business agent for this band for many 3'cars and by bia frequent -onU act with them became a fluent speaker of the Cherokee tongue. From Wheeler's history of North Caro lina is taken the following extract from a letter written bv Col. Thomas, October 15, 1838, to Hon. James Graham, which will prove of interest : "Until the year 1830 they the Indians were as in tem perate as any other In dians on our frontier. About that time the principal chief ol the settlement, by the name of Drowning Bear (or You-na-guska), becoming convinced that intem perance would destroy himself and peo ple, determined to live temicrnte, and persuade his people to follow his exam ple. 1 was present when he assembled them. On that occasion he informed his people that he had been considering and. devising ways to promote their happi ness in future. He said he had become convinced that intemperance was the cause of the extermination of Indian tribes situated in the neighborhood of tbe whites. . . . He directed bis clerk to write in the Indian language as fallows: 'The undersigned Cherokees, belonging to the town of 0,ualla. agree to abandon the use of spirituous liquors.' It was immediately signed by the old chief, who was followed by tbe whole town." Col. John D. Cameron, editor of the Asheyille Democrat, told The Citizen the following story which illustrates well tbe absolute confidence bestowed on Col. Thomas by every one who knew him. ol whatever color they might be. Col. Thomas was an untiring advocate of the idea for building a railroad through Western North Carolina. He did all he could to stir up the railroad matter and get the people to do something to secure the road, pointing oat to them the ad vantages of constructing a line. The in cident related occurred about 40 years ago. Col. Thomas one day, in "talking railroad" to a Mr. Miller, stated his firm belief that the road would be built, and suggested further that the man who uuui m aummcr resort notei near a certain point on tbe Nantahala river would coin money from the venture. Mr. Miller bad such unbounded faith in Col. Thomas' judgment that he at once pur chased the site and soon had built what was in that dav and time a fine building and waited for the railroad to come. But it was many weary years before tbe road did rome. Now. passengers over the Murphy branch of the Western North Carolina road can see this hous as they pass over the line. It is old and weather- beaten, and near enouerta to the track to allow a passenger to pitch a stone from me train into the "hotel" yard. The builder's dream of summer visitors was never realized. Col. Thomas was a man of mnch landed properties, one of his farms being one of tne nnest in this section. In 184-5-'50 Col. Thomas represented the Fiftieth Senatorial district ( Hay wood, Macon and Cherokee) in the Sen ate ot North Carolina. hi K- agonal Halt A0ct. Alderman-elect W. W. Tones returned yesterday afternoon from Macon county court, where be bad gone as attorney in the Evcritt-Thomas case. This is a very important litigation, involving one of the finest farms in Western North Caro lina., on the Tuckaseegee river, formerly belonging to tbe late Col. W. H.Thomas. The suit was brought by the heirs of Col. Thomas to recover possession of tbe land, on tne ground tnat at the time Col. Thomas made the sale to Kveritt tbe former was insane, the Thomas heirs to refund to Eventt tbe amount of pur chase money and accounting to the l nomas estate tor tbe rents since tbe sale was made, many years ago. Before tbe case could be tried Col. Thomas died, and tbe case was put off to a future court. prlDg Atfeletlc.

L.k Out no The water supply in Asheville is get ting no better fast. There is now and then ii little of the aqua pura ah ut in stot-. but no man knoweth when it will come or when it will go Superintendent Insle nnyo he has done all he can and will continue to do so, hut has quit making promises as to when tbe supply will become regular. lu a. talk with City Engineer Lee this morning Thk Citizen learned t he e facts: The "tail race" men iotte.l yt-sicrday as not havinif be-on excavated to tbe neces sarv depth was not completed when it was desired to betin running the new water pump, but this work is now being done. Some time tr, about the time work was begun on ceroentine the floor of tbe new penstock the coffer dam washed out. and a great quantity of sand was car ried into tbe penstock, making what seamed to be a verv solid floor. It has been found, however, that this will not prevent leakage, and Mr. Lee has decided to carry out his original plan of cement ing the floor. It has also been found that tbe new wall built hy H. M. Smith is leaky, and the contractor has been or dered to making the necessary repairs. The work needed to remedy matters is now procresstne nrt Mr Lee thinks ilit by Tnesdav of Wcdm sHav of next week everything will be ready to begin the operation of the new pump. Work on the new Worthington steam piimn is eoing on. and it will be com pleted soon. This, when the tests have been made, will finish the company's contract with tbe citv.

THB GOVERNMENT OE NICA RAGUA TOTTERING. A Big Ballle To Be Foneht That 'Will Prohahlt as Oeclalve Two United H alen VeHHelM seal To Nicaragua. Washington, May 12. Tbe Nicara guan revolutionists have practically overthrown tbe government and are in complete possession of tbe Nicaragua canal. A dispatch received at Lue Stile de partment today tells of tbe victorious progress ot the revolutionary forces and indicates i complete overthrow of tbe late administration. The Atlanta, now at New York, has already been ordered to proceed to a point on the west coast. From information contained in Consul Newall's dispatch, it Is evident that the revolutionary forces have almost com plete control of affairs, an rl a speedy rec ognition from the United States will fol low the demand for such action; never theless this government has decided it best to be on the safe side, and all steam will be used by tbe Atlanta and Alliance in making their journey southward. Later According to information re ceived by Dr. Guzman,, Ntcaguraa minis ter, a big battle will probably be fought today between the opposing forces in his country. Dr. Guzman said he received a dispatch from a friend showing that affairs there are directly opposite to the wav they were pictured in a message received by Secretary Gresbam from Mr. Newall, consul at Managua. So far from the government forces being de moralized thi dispatch represents that the array of the government would meet the revolutionary forces today in a bat tle for supremacy.
