The rainfall was excessive and the rivers and small streams in various sections are 'way up, doing more or less damage to crops along the bottoms. The French Broad is out of its banks the entire city front. Thirty inches rise in the waters was marked for ten hours of daylight yesterday and that height gained 1 1 inches to G o'clock this morning. The upper boom of the French ISroad Lumber company is nearly filled with logs shot down in the freshet and the low ground in the region of the mill is covered with water. The boom house was wrenched from its fastenings aud sailed oil' about 0 o 'cluck. At the depot the yellow flood was swung to the fence of the stock yard, making un even sweep to the banks at Tubkeeostee. The Standard Oil com pany's lot was under water, but noth ing was damaged. The roaming waters found their way through the yards of the Asheville Cot ton Mills early in the altcrnoon of yes terday and soon surrounded the tene ments of the lower section, covering the gangways and cutting off the inmates from their homes. Later in the day pas sage was made by skill's, but the contin ued rise of therivcrinthenightfrightened many of the people to the act of return ing to the mill side and to the dwellings of friends. Superintendent Jtarnhartwas out ali night with a loree of men keeping watch on the partially submerged build ings. A 12-inch dam was built around the basement of the cloth room; it was impossible to relieve the wash at the waste and cotton houses and they held down the outer circle of the inundation together with the stables of Lindau, Hough & Co. The anxieties of the night gave the mill hands little chance lor sleep and the generally demoralized condition ol things de cided the superintendent not to start up the mill today, and give the employe a needed rest. Skiffs skimmed busilv from the railroad track to the cabins, but the householders soon returned disgusted with the outlook. On some of the porches bedclothes and . iher plunder were bunched up for the tiuick trrab of the owner if necessity should require. At Jones lumber yard at Smiths bridge the early morning measurement showed a rise in the night of 11' a inches and the tide was thought to be at flood. I he waters were up to the foundations of the dry kilns aud had completely shut out the stables and compelled the re moval of the stock. The floor timbers of Smith's bridire were 12 feet clear of the water and 110 trouble to the structure was feared un less the booms further up the river should break and dump their heavy bur- uens against me piers. 1 he newly fenced coal yards ol the sheville lee and Coal cum nan v at the south end ol the railroad bridge were included in the range of the flow, but the damage did not get beyond the straining fences. The cabins of Red Egypt, al though surrounded and threatened with destruction, did not give up their ten ants, wlio occupied the doorways and windows seemingly ready for a jump if the situation got bad enough. 1 lie Hood put Asheville s light out hist night. At the dam of the West Asheville Improvement company, where the light current is generated, the water backed up under the machine house and necessita ted the stoppage of the machinery. Mr. Carrier told The Citizen today that he hoped to have the trouble remedied and the lights going tonight. A report was in circulation last night and this morning to tnecucct tnat t lie big clam had broken. This was a mistake. North Main street was a sight to make street car men weep this Jmorniug. A goodly portion of Starnesavenue washed into the street und across the car track, and a choked drain over the culvert caused the covering of the sidewalk with mud. At the Chestnut street crossing the old story was repeated and several inches of mud bad to be removed before cars could pass that point. As is usual when the rains descend, the drain on Tatton avenue near the St. Johns hotel became choked last night and the watci backed up almost into the door of the hotel. The rainfall yesterday, reported by Dr. Karl von Ruck, I'nited'Statcs signal ser vice observer, was 1.1)3. No train was sent out from here to Co lumbia this morning. Tbe train from Columbia, however, is reported on time. Jl'DUK ARK1IEI.U ILL. MlH Ailment KrvHlpelaH Transj 1 vanla Court Acljourux. Reports from Rrevard are sueh as, to arouse anx:etv concerning the physical condition of Judge K. 1 Armfield, who recently presided over Iluticouibc's Su perior court. Judge Armtield was engaged last Fri day on n very important litigation in tbe Transylvania court. Some of the members of tbe bar noticed that us the Judge sat on the bench his fare was un usually flushed and remarked to him about it. lie replied that he was not feeling unwell, but later he consulted a physician with the result that the physician commanded that the Judge should go to bed. The Judge's ailment is erysipelas, and when last heard from be was no fetter. Court was of course adjourned. If lie Judge Improves IlENDIiKSONVlI.LK, N. C, Sept. 12. .Special. Judge Armfield is reported very much improved. C. A. Kcnyon. Coufessrd aud Skipped. Fort Wayne, Ind., Sept. 12. Fred O'Connor, the train dispatcher whose forgetfulne ss caused the wreck on tbe Fort Wayne road, in which a dozen lives were lost", has not been seen by any of his friends here since. A few minutes be fore he left the city he scut a message to the coroner of Cook county stating that he, O'Connor, was alone to blame. GF.AHY'S STRAMUE VIEWS. Puts Auarclilsis and Missionaries ou Xtae Hatne Plane. Washington, Sept. 12. Keprcsenta tive Geary of California, author of the law of 181)2, providing for the deporta tion of unregistered Chinese in tbe United States, says he is satisfied that the pro visions of the law wilt be enforced by the administration. He hud interviews with President Cleveland and Secretary Car lisle on the subject, and he said that as surances had been given him that the law would be carried out. When asked whether he had any reason to look for retaliatory measures bv the Chinese government upon the Americans residing u iiint vouuery, uc sum ; "I am perfectly willing tv vote for a bill requiring every American missionary in Chinn to return to his country within a year, the protection of this govern ment to be withdrawn from him at the expiration of that time. I would do this just as I would vote to expel everv an archist from tbe United States within a year. The principle that would exclude unarciusts Irom this country would Keep Amctican missionaries out of China. Their cases are exactly parallel." In direct contradiction to Mr. Geary's understanding of the situation comes a statement, apparently from a well in formed source, that the President has called a halt in the execution of the ex clusion law. ACCVHDD OF IlItiAMV. Serious Charges Airalust a Col ored Nominee. Washington, Sept. 12. Seriouschargcg were filed Saturday against Mr. Henry C. C. Astwood, formerly of Louisiana, but now of New York, the colored man whose name was sent to the Senate Fri day by Mr. Cleveland for the consul ate at Calais, France. The charges were lodged with Secretary Gresham. Mr. Astwood is accused of being a native of the West Indies, who has never taken out naturalization papers; of leaving his wife and committing bigumv, aud of de serting from tbe navy. Mr. Ast wood called on Secretary Gresham in company with C. R. Taylor, president of tbe Negro Democratic league. Mr. Taylor told a reporter that the charges against bis friend had been dis proved 11 years ago when he was ap pointed to the San ilomingo consulate. Mr. Astwood, he said, had been nomi nated for the Calais post solely through the cfl'orts of tbe Negro Democratic league, in which he was chairman cf the committee. The charges had been made originally, said Mr. Taylor, by C. K. Douglass, who was a disappointed can didate for the office secured by Mr. Ast wood. N. Y. Sun. HARRIED IN WHITIMG, Sluicular Wertdinj; Ceremony Perlormed ou Paper. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 9. Miss Nellie Bean and Mr. W. D. Dougcrty aremutes. Justice of the Peace Orr today united the couple in the holy bonds of matri mony. The justice wrote the marriage down. When everything was in readi ness for the ceremony he banded the pa per to the young lady. As she read the questions she would answer "Yes" and designate with her fingers the one Bhc answered. The paper was then given to Mr. Dougherty. Opposite the questions was left blank space enough for him to write the answer to each question, which was properly done. After the ceremony had been performed and Judge Orr had put down the little slip of paerwith these words, "I pronounce you man and wife," the young couple read it and wrote that they were ready to receive the congratu lations of the Justice and the few friends who were present. Judge Orr's congratulations were writ ten on a piece of paper which he gave the young pair. N. Y. World. CAN HAVU Ol'R PATENT. THE MILL GRINDING AGAIN GRIST GIVEN OUT l-'OU SEV ERAI, COUNTIES If Il's Rain They Waul, Cotue Here. Tombstone, Ariz., Sept. 12. A stock company has been organized here which proposes to conduct one of the most unique insurance schemes ever thought of. It proposes to insure the farmers of this section against damage from lack of rain. The company will do a big business, as rain is by no means the most common article in this section ol the State. Our Bank Note HvHtem. New York, Sept. 12. Henry Clews' weekly stock letter says: "The final re peal of the purchase clause of the Sher man Act is now so generally taken for granted that the silverquestion no longer causes any serious apprehension. Con gress, however, shows such a decided disposition to reshape our currency sys tem that there can be little doubt that, when the Senate has given its vote against silver purchases, the problem of amending our bank note system will re ceive earnest consideration." Tliat Wlilte House Dabv. Washington, Sept. 12. The White House baby is doing well and so is Mrs. Perrinc, who is now with her daughter and will remain until she is able to be up. The President pursues his regular rou tine in his office. Telegrams and letters are still being delivered at the White House from peo ple in all parts in the country congratu lating tbe President and Mrs. Cleveland on the new accession to their family. -A Nashville Bank.

Collector ICliatt Appolu's U. L. Reynolds General Storekeeper, Salary Kseluic Si, 800 orders to Deputy Collectors. Collector Eli as today made public the following appointments to positions in the revenue service. The most import ant is that of Mr. Reynolds, who until u short time ago was tax collector of Buncombe. The appointments follow: Buncombe county D. L. Reynolds, general storekeeper, salary $150 per month; W. R. Gudgcr, storekeeper and gauger. Union county J. W. Griffin, store keeper und gaujfer. Anson county K. A. Carter, store keeper and gauger.

Collector Elias today issued the follow mg instructions to deputy collectors in the Fifth district, which are intended to put an end to frivolous prosecutions in the United States courts: Idccmitmv dntr to advise vnu of me circumstances under wbicn you can and should swear out warrants before U. fc. Commissioners for tbe arrest of persons charged with violations of inter nal revenue laws. The order of court and the statutory provisions restricting the power of U. S. Commissioners to to issue warrants unless upon affidavits alleging personal knowledge of the com plainant, or upon the sworn complaint of a deputy collector or revenue agent setting forth facts upon information and belief, were provoked by the large num ber of frivolous cases which were dis missed in the courts at the cost of the United States. Thev were adooted. too. in behalf of economy and tbe best inter ests of the government, upon the belief tliat tins method would not only restrict prosecutions for sliirht offenses on insuf ficient evidence, instigated by 'profes sional witnesses' or others for their own pecuniary advantage, but would secure the prosecution and conviction of the more guilty violators of law, thus deter ring others. "While the responsibility in this matter is really mine, much depends on your judgment and your official anil personal integrity in restraining the volume of prosecutions to those necessary in the public interest aud protecting the cov- crnment from enormous bills of cost, wttliout realizing any practical benefit by diminution in the number of viola tions of law. You are instructed, there fore, that in all cases, except those deemed emergent ones, vott should de cline to swear out warrants upon request of deputy marshals and U. S. Commis sioners, unless upon inquiry and exami nation, ( winch should be promptly made, however, in any case of a serious offense charged ) tbe case is found to be one in. which a prosecution is warranted by the evidence and demanded by the public interest. Collector Elias expected to leave for Washington this afternoon, but on ac count of the irregular running of the trains has postponed his start till to morrow, lie will be accompanied by Mrs. Elias and their children and they will take in the World's Fair before their return to Asheville.

In concluding yesterday his speech Senator Pugh said : "It is the determined and unalterable purpose of tbe opponents of repeal to stand upon their convictions of public duty aud fidelity to their pledges to the people whom they represent until physi cal strength is exhausted and the power of speech is left to no senator, to prevent the success of the conspiracy denounced by John G. Carlisle as equal in its conse quences to war, pestilence and famine." Lost Track of united stales ves sels. Washington, Sept. 12.
