less some unforeseen hitch should occur
in the organization of cither the House
or the Senate, it will probably go in at

Pro-silver Democrats express tlicin'

but that he also recognizes that silver is

wpeiiiniC scenes,
Washington, Aug. 7. The opening
clay of the Fifty-Third Congress brought
with it a most welcome and refreshing
change in the weather. Cool breezes
replaced the torrid heat of the previous
week and supplemented the improved
ventilating fans iu the capilot, making
the temperature cf House aud Sen
ate chambers endurable, notwith
standing the crowds of spectators who,
as usual, packed the galleries and
thronged thecorridors. Among the latter
there were many who were thoroughly
American. At this season of the year
there appears to have been a sudden
impetus to foreign travel to the World's
Pair and thcliuropean tourist is a familiar
figure on the streets of Washington.
Many of these were about the capitol at
an early hour anxious to see what one
typical Englishman called our "Haraeri
can House of Commons." Field glasses
were plentiful and even the kodak tiend
was present endeavoring to get a shot
at some of the leading political figures in
the coming Legislature drama.
In the galleries the presence ot a lurgc
number of ladies attired in the light and
fleecy ganent of summer, lent brilliancy
to the picture. The members' galleries
were filled with families of legislators and
it was noticeable that those ot the new
members occupied the more prominent
scats.
Heuate.
The Stuatc was called to order at noon
aud the opening prayer was made by the
outgoing chaplain, Mr. Butler. After
the President's proclamation, calling the
extra session, was read the oath of office
was administered to Senators (Juay, ot
Pennsylvania, and I'asco of Florida. A
communication was read from Deckwith
ol Wyoming, announcing that he had
placed his resignation as Senator in t he
hands ot the Governor. Placed on file.
Secretary-elect of l he Senate Cox of
North Carolina bad the oath adminis
tered to him and took possession of the
nice, l lie usual resolutions to notilv
the House aud President were adopted,
and then, at 12:30. the death of the late
benator Stanford of California was an
nounced by Mr. White of that Stale and
as a mark of respect the Senate adjourned
until tomorrow. 1 Ins prevents the re
ccption of the President's message today.
Tbe House,
As early as 10:30 the House galleries
devoted to the public use were filled and
the doors leading to them were crowded.
Spectators less fortunate than their as'
sociatcs peered over the shoulders of the
more favored ones and waited patiently
for the hour of noon. At 11 o'clock the
reserved galleries were opened and in one
minute the scats there were at a pre
mium. The picture then presented was
indeed animated and interesting. The
galleries constituted the frame, and
handsome frame it was. The ladicswho
made up more than one-half of-the utidi
ence were attired in tneir prettiest sum
mer costumes. Many ol them discaraen
their head gear and the fluttering of fans
and the buzz of woman's conversation
mingled pleasantly with the manly tones
which arose from the floor.
The House was called to order a
noon, the President s proclamation was
read, and tbe call of the names of mem
bers-elect began. Three hundred and
thirty-six members responded to their
names aud t hcllousc proceeded to rote lor
speaker, tbe candidates being Crisp, Kced
and Simpson. Crisp was elected speaker,
receiving 214 votes against 122 votes
for Kecd and 7 votes for Simpson.
The members took the oath of office
and then engaged in drawing for scats,
More Republicans.
Representatives Henderson of Illinois,
Reed of Maine and Burr owes of Michi
gan, waited on Crisp and tbe Demo
cratic members of the rules committee
before tbe House met today to submit a
request formulated by tbe Republican
caucus that there be a reallotment ol
seats with a view to a more equitable
division than obtained in the last Con
gresa. The committee pointed to the
tact that tbe Republican representatives
now number 123, or 40 more than their
strength last Congress: therefore tbev
asked that a section of seats to the right
ol the main aisle be added to tbeir space,
After some discussion the Democratic
managers acceded to this rcqust.so that
ball ol the House, alter the seats were
drawn today, resembled the arrangement
oi tue olst Congress.
Tbe Asbevllle Street Railway on
September 6.
The Asheville Street Railway com
pany's road, rolling stock and so forth,
will be sold on the Gth of September by
A. T. Sunnncy, master commissioner
appointed by the United States court.
In tile meantime the operating expenses
of the lines arc being cut down wherever
possible. Only a few days ago a
notice was posted in the car shed,
to the cllcct that the motor
men and conductors would have
their wages reduced from $40 to $30 a
month. This, however, did not become
operative, because Superintendent Arthur
took down the notice, saying that he
preferred to make a reduction in some
other way. Some of the men whose
wages it was propoced to cut down are
the same ones who worked on the lines
before the road passed out of Col. Mar
tin's hands, at which time the company
owed them back salary in some instauccs
amounting to $20 or $300. This back
pay has never been given them, although
it would have been welcome many a time
and oft. But the men arc discouraged
and do not express liojie of receiving a
cent. They think that when the prop
erty lias been sold next month it will
pass into other hands and the matter of
back pay will never be considered. Col.
Martin, however, has assured them that
their wage money will eventually be
paid. Since Receiver Maddux took
charire the men have been paid regularly.
A reduction in crews has lately bnu
made on the railway. Heretofore there
were two relief crews and these ran the
cars while the regulars took an hour for
meals. Now there is only one relief crew
and the regulars have but a half hour for
meals. 1 lie extra car which has for
sometime been used to transport the
mail to and irom the nostollicc has been
discontinued and tbe mail is brouuht ud
on tiie regular depot line cars.

Chicago, Aug. 7. Since the close of
the silver convention, Mr. George E.
Washburn, ol Boston, Mass., c airman
of the eastern division, national commit
tee, people's party, and other prominent
populists of the west have been iu dailv
consultation with leading government
officials, bankers, capitalists and railroad
men of the west devising a gigantic rail-
Scheme ot government ownership which
road they think will afford financial relief
to the count ry and make at once an issue
of two ol the pet planks of their platform.
The plan proposed is. that the nation
al government shall issue bonds tor all
legal and just indebtedness being gov
erned by the same tenure and contract
w Inch now exist. 7 lie amount is esti
mated to be about two-thirds of the
value of the railroads, aud an issuance
oflesal tender treasury notes, or silver
certificates lor the remaining one-third.
ii ia ciainicu mac mis issuance oi treas
ury notes would afford immediate fman-
ciul relict and inaugurate a period ot
prosperity unparalleled in the history of
the world.

The Citizen has often urged upon the
people of this section the necessity for
holding a fair, at which should
be shown the resources of the mountain
country of North Carolina. Such a lair
would attract universal attention and
would be an important factor in the de
velopment of the section which it brings
before the world.
At last there is an inclination to move
iu this direction, and This Citizhn and
all people who have an interest in the
growth of this section will be glad to see
the movement grow until the Western
North Carolina fair becomes a glorious
realty.
It is, therefore, with pleasure that
The Citizen publishes the following call
for a meeting in Asheville on Saturday,
August 10, to take the initiatory steps
in the formation of the Western North
Carolina Fair association. This call is
signed by Capt. M.J. Fagg, Dr. S. VVcs
tray Battle, Geo. S. Powell and others,
aud should result in the bringing out of
good crowd of men who are fully alive
to the question and who are determined
to see the movement carried through
successfully. The call follows:
"2'o tbe People of Western North Caro
lina :
"Our agricultural, mineral and other
resources warrant an annual exhibit. A
number of gentlemen feeling the import
ance of this met on Thursday afternoon
last and resolved to take steps looking
towards the inauguration of a fair asso
ciation. "A call, therefore, is made to the peo
ple comprised in the counties west of the
Blue Kidgc to meet in Asheville Saturday,
August 10, to formulate a plan and per
fect an organization. An option of a
long and euy lease of grounds, already
fenced, with a good nice track and grand
stand, has been secured, and onlyasmall
sum will be required to erect the othsr
necessary buildings.
"Everyone, therefore, interested in
having a fair is called. upon t meet iu
Asheville on the 10th and a Western
North Carolina Fair association will re
sult." Western North Carolina papers will
please copy this call.

Forest City, N.C., Aug. 5. Yesterday
Marion Butler, president of the State
Alliance, addressed a large gathering of
people from all the surrounding country
at Forest City, on the issues of the day,
as vie wed Irom an Alliance point of view.
A table 800 feet long had been erected
for the picnic dinner, but rain came be
fore Mr. Butler had finished speaking,
utttug short the speech and preventing
the spreading of the dinner. People
crowded into the academy building in
such numbers as nearly to break the
sleepers of the floor.
It is said the meeting was gotten up in
the interests of the l'coplc's party. A
hand of music was one of the attractions.
The rains arc abundant and the crops
very line in this section ot country.
There is plenty of old corn at 55 cents
a bushel, and the new wheat crop has
turned out well. The people have every
thing but the commercial dollar and they
are anxiously looking to President Cleve
land and his Congress to put thatalloat.

Forged Very Sensational
Documents.
Paris, Aug. 7. The jury iu the case of
Ducret and Norton has returned a ver
dict of guilty against both defendants.
Norton, who is a mulatto, was indicted
for forging the documents that created
such a sensation in the chamber of depu
ties when read bv 11. Millcoyc, Bculnngist
member. These documents, which, it was
claimed, had been stolen from the Brit
ish embassy in Paris during the absence
ot Lord Dufferin, British ambassador,
purported to show tbnta certain French
man high in otliciul lite, had sold state
secrets to the British government, these
alleged acts, if true, constituting treason.
M. Ducret, who is editors! theltoulan-
fiist organ Cocorude, was charged with
complicity in the forgeries. The jury was
onlv a short time in arriving at a verdict,
and the court at once sentenced Norton
to three years' imprisonment. Ducret
was sentenced for one year.

Ac-
Some Futures as to Wlml It
couipllsbed.
The term of the Criminal court which
wound up its business last Friday was
one of the hardest working tribunals
held in Buncombe. The amount of work
done was something unusual, and tbe
court officials were kept busy all the
time. A few figures furnished The Citi
zen by Deputy Clerk S. B. Erwin will
show very plainly what was done during
the term. When thecourt met on Monday
morning, July 24, there were 70 cases on
the trial docket. The grand jury in four
days passed upon C5 bills, a total of 144
cases, aud reported 10 not true bills.
During the 10 davs of active court work
there were 20 convictions, 18 submis
sions, eight acquittals and 12 nolle
prosequis. Sixty-four cases were contin
ued to next term. Four cases were
transferred to the Superior court. Of
those convicted 12 were sent to work on
the caunty roads, their terms of sentence
ranging Irom three months to five years.
The amount of fines imposed was $200,
all of which will be collected, the defend
ants having given good security for the
payment of the fines. For this reason
this court will come nearer paying ex
penses than its predecessors have done.
These figures make a good showing
and Solicitor Eng. D. Carter is justly
proud of the record of the term.
