Mayor l'uttou's iJi'u for the employ
ment of Asljcville's idle workmen on
street improvements, art set foi th iti 'fin;
CiTiZKN Saturday, is beinj; uenetally dis-cuf-scd.
The Mayor's plan is to employ
:tc:i for street work, where sneh work
is nccikt), pa inK them in the city's cci
tifieates or serip, which are to mature
in April, ISO t, without interest, the cer
tificates to be used by the labrcrs, or
those who take them up, as they may sec
fit , in making purchases, paying taxes.ete.
Tin-: Crristisx gut expressions from a few
ot the citizens today as follows:
Joseph li. l)iekcr.ion: "The idea is
f;ood. The only tear I would have is
that the laborers might trade with mer
chants who could not carry them, and
would have to sell them at a discount.
If the scrip should be made to bear even
G iter cent, interest 1 think it would
make the scheme all the better."
P. StiUcleathcr: "1 consider the scheme
a good one, and will take some of the
scrip myself."
S, V. Meats: "it w a splendid idea,
but will the city be able -to meet the
serip when it becomes due? If it will, I
will take a quantity of the certificates.
It isa Kod way to jjiveonr unemployed
work."
Justice A. T. Summcy: "The sugges
tion is good. This is a pood time to
have the improvements made, as the
city can get more work for the money
than at any other season of the year."
Geo. S. Powell: "Without having
tiorouuiiiy sunned the lironositioii. 1
ir tliat it would be charged that the
scheme was all for the benefit of the
nerchant and the unskilled laborer. I
(i not sre how it could benefit skilled
labor, which needs work as well as the
-her class. However, 1 am not orc-
parcu to say mat tiic idea is not a uood
ic and the best tiling to be done."
J. A. .ichols: 1 lie plan is all riirht. if
lie merchants will take the certificates."
W . H. Norfhup : "In my opinion, it is
Kood idea. We need somcthini' of the
iud here. Other cities are doiuir some-
nun; ou similar mans. Anil llieie ih no
loubt that the monev thus nut out on
mproveuuiit? womd i c judiciously ex
pended.
v.. . Urown . "It will be well, prov
ided the liieicb.uits can earrv the serin.
But it is probable that onlv a lew of the
larger ilealers can do so."
LoLr.Miirs, Ga., Aug. 2H.- The city of

i in-; i.iTizr.N lotiiui col. j. r.i. l.-u-.u: in
rcmimscctit mood in his ofliee in the
court house'this morning, l-'or the Col
onel was thinking over the fact that
ycais ago Saturday he moved i-ito Ashe
vine irora avc;v s crecK lownsliin. iicn
he came here, he says, there were about
white families living in Asheville. and
the wayside village boasted of pcrha ps six
store?. Duly two white families lived on
the east side of South Main street. The
only building between the square and the
nvcr, except the old Johnston
liuiluing, was an old church near
the Melke properly. James Patton
then lived ou College street at the
Davidson place. A portion of the
W oodlin house, no w owned and occu
pied by Dr. J. A. liurroughs, was built in
the. year Col. Israel came here. That
year was also built the Johnston brick
building corner Church street and Pat
ton avenue, which was then used as a
boarding house for pupils i't a, school
winch was conducted in the basement
of the old Methodist church, the latter
standing about where the lireseut Ccn
tral church stands.
At t'n's time t he-re were only three
houses ou the river between the Swan
nanoa and J. li. Need's. One of thes
was occupied iy airs, nanici hmitli. an
other (the old Roberts house near the
depot), bv M. M. I'atuiii, and the third
(below the bridge) by an old colored
man.
i lie Alexander maiding, wnicli now
adjoins the store of W. I!. Williamson &
Co., on Patton avenue, in 184-U stood on
North Maui sticet uiout where A. I)
Cooper's store now is, ami was at that
time considered the finest store building
in Asheville. It was occupied bv Isaac
T. I'oor.
Asheville then had two hotels, the Ua-
gle and the Puck, both of which still
stand. The towu had no mayor in those
times, anil it was some years later that
I. li. Sawyer, the first mayor, wasclcctcd
to that position.
There is a vast difference between the
Asheville of 180 nnd the Asheville of
li93, and Col. Israel likes to recount
the stories of its growth as lie watched
it irom the infancy to man's estate,

Durham, N. C, Aug. 2G. The friends
of Trinity college arc jubilant over the
outlook lor the coming season. Piesi
dent Crowel is today answering letters
of inquiry and is sending out catalogues
and bulletins. lie has a large force of
hands at work on the park, cutting
down ths weeds and clcnrine out the
drives. lie has also enlarged the shelves
oi iuc iiurary so mat tneir capacity is
just about doubled. Prof. Jerome Dowd
s now busy classifying and rearranging
t;;e books.
The new session will wituess several
new ieaturcs in the work of the college.
Iu order to meet the reiuircmentsoftba.t
large class of youuir men. who can snend
only one year at college, special courses
oi sttuly nave been arranged, any one of
wiucn can oe completed in one vcar.
Then, too, a normal school for teachers
:tnd a school of journalism has been
added to the work of the college. Nearly
all of the faculty will take part in the
normal school. 1 lie school of journalism
will be under the direct control of Prof.
John L. Weber, who comes to Trinity
direct from the editorial rooms of the
News and Courier, of Charleston, S. C.,
wncrc lor ten years he was one ot the
managers of that newspaper. The work
of this ncw'school will be practical in its
character. It is a new departure in
Southern educational work and is
already attracting considerable atten
tion. A letter of inquiry about it has
conic all the way from Huston, Mass.
The beautiful Colleire Jnn is rcaclv for
the reception ot the students. This
handsome building gives the students of
Trinity more comfortable quarters than
arc enjoyed by the students of any other
Southern college. Thcv have the ad
vantage of all the latest appliances in
the wav ol heating aud lighting. Hot
air does the heating and electric lights
supply the light. Ivlegunt bath rooms
are on every floor. In short the Inn is
lacking in nothing that goes to make
comfortable quarters for .the students
Then too all these modern advantages
can be had for even less than is charged
at many other institutions for much
less inferior accommodations.
1 he faculty are fast returning to their
posts of duty. Prof. W. II. Pegram is
buck at his home on the Park after
spending a pleasant summer at old
Iriuity. 1'rol. J.L.Weber has moved
Ins family .over and now they arc com
fortably fixed up at No. 1 Paculty avc
nue. Prot. Jerome Dowd has rooms at
the College Inn. Prof. Merritt and
llindc arrived Saturday. Two of the
new professors will bring blushing brides
back witu tlicm.

A Number Injured, Home of

Long Island Citv, L. I., August 28.
Saturday night at the Itushwick junc
tion of the Long Island railroad, a Kock
away train ran into the rear of a Man
hattan rteach train, telescoping several
cars. Sixlcn dead were taken from the
wreck. The number of injured will reach
35 or 40 people, many of whom it is be
lieved will die.
The injured were conveyed to the Long
Island City hospitals as fast as the offi
cials could remove them and surgeons
were summoned to the scene.
The Rockway train plunged in aud
ploughed its way completely through
the rear cars and nartlv wrecked the
third. Passengers iu the three cars were
maimed and mangled horribly and their
shrieks of pain were awful. The Kocka
way engine was wrecked. Its smoke
stack was carried away and the huge
boiler resembled a pin cushion from the
timbers from tiic wrecked cars sticking
in it. Upon these timbers were human
beings impaled, some dead and others
gasping their last.
1 lie scene of the wreck was indescrib
ably horrible. The dead and wounded
were massed among the wreckage, unou
und beyond the tracks. Everything was
showered with the blood of tlie dead
and wounded and cries of the latter rose
high above the issuing of steam and the
call of frantic trainmen.
Col. E. A. Buck, editor of the Soirit of
the Times, was among the killed.

quired considerable property. Por the
past few years he had given up active

several months past he has been unable
to be on the street, where he was tor so
many j-ears a familiar figure.
