Uelnltsli & Reagan UNITED INDUSTRIAL CO. ITS PROPOSITION TO Till-; 1-eopi.b ok ahi;vii.i,i;. If Accepted tne Cltjr Would Have lo Make a Heavy Expenditure and Give Up the I'reseut Water Works Bite. Following is the proposition of the United Industrial Co , as made to the Board of Aldermen at yesterday's meet ing: To the Hon. tbe Mayor and Aider men of'l the City of Asheville : I have the honor to submit to your honorable Board, a communication from The United Industrial company, a cor poration organized for manufacturing purposes under the laws of New York. As representative of this co npany I spent a large portion of the past three months investigating tlie aavantages ol various localities in the South with a view to establishing the manufacture of katt goods of every description, wool, wool and cotton mixed, and cotton. The centre of this industry is now iu the Mohawk Valley, in New York State, and with it ns a basis, the cities of Troy, Co hoes and Amsterdam have made wonder ful progress in population and wealth. The organizers of this companv are of the highest character and financial abil ity. After careful study of the subject we are convinced that the South has decided advantages over New York or any other Northern and Western State in the man ufacture of textile fabrics. Your climate is as a rule better adapted to thecardiug and spinning cotton and wool, your la bor is cheaper, not for tlie present alone, but permanently, because it costs less to live in the South your cotton may be grown almost at the factory door; your water powers arc large and unincumbcd by ice, and there is here less necessity for fuel, while at the same time fuel itsrlf is cheap. These are your prominent advan tages. 1 he disadvantages are great but on) temporary. They are poor trans- poi ation facilities, high freight rates. and unskilled labor, so that no matter what faith men may have in the ultimate prosperity of the South, these disadvan tages are great and may well cause capi tal to hesitate. To overcome these difficulties nearly every place I have visited throughout toe south has made this company most gen erous otters, thus sharing the burden until the new industry should be fairly on its feet. The purpose of the United Industrial company is to establish a knit goods centre. It will not be confined to one factory, but shall erect one after another until by its machinery everv class of knit goods can be made, giving employ ment to at least hvc thousand help, rep resenting a community of fifteen thou sand people' With this object in view I nave looked for a location which would combine the following requisites: 1-irst, A suitab e water power to tur- nish power to the entire plant. hecond. t roximity to the cotton belt. Third, Dry and healthfull climate. Fourth, Proximity to railroads. Fifth, An intelligent population from which to supply skilled help. Not even Asheville combines all these., features. The water power is noi. as large as could be wished, freight rates are high, and the cotton belt is distant. but, on the other band, you have a per fect climate, and a people known tin; country over as most intelligent and en terprising. Your city will be attractive to Northern help above any other in the South. We have made a survey of the Swannano-i, and Mr. Byron llolley, the best known hydraulic engineer in the country, has made hisjreport to the effect that at a point a short distance above Gudgers' bridge, we can erect a dam. eighty five feet high which will give us about titteen hundred horse po wer. 1 his dam would consist of crib work and ma sonry and would cost nearly one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. It would be built on solid rock, between rock cliffs, and our engineer claims that if properly con structed, it would be as strong as the hills themselves. Our purpose would be to erect a factory at once to employ some two hundred persons and to follow this with others as rapidly as help can be educated. We would erect handsome cottages for the help who wish to live near the lactones, and would bund a school bouse, and supply a teacher tor children of the employes. We would use every effort to connect with vour city by electric road, so that our help may have access to your stores and mal e pur chases to tbeir taste, tor the employes m this industry are the best paid and mo?t intelligent ot work people, and in the North they are justly noted for charac ter and good taste, earning such good wages they are able to live as men and women should live. We, ol course, shall follow the policy of Northern manufac turers and make no attempt to take any part in the trade and merchandising ot our help. 1 hey shall go where thev hud the choicest lines and the best bargains The policy of setting up stores at which the help are expected to merchandise ts demoralizing and the best class of li-lp will not endure it. This company will therefore do all it can to give the help the utmost freedom in all matters out side the factory, in harmony with this policy we shall not compel help to live in nouses owned by us, but shall aid them in all ways to build for themselves cot tages of artistic designs. In no event shall we permit shanties to be erected. such as are only too ommou around the cotton mills of the South. Such in outline is our purpose and we have ample means to accomplish it, but there are two difficulties: First. l he possibility ot polluting the water supply ot your city; and Second. 1 be necessity, owing to your inferior water power, ol putting into dam at once so large a sum ot money without return until we have erected enough factories to utilize tiic entire power, which would rerjnire at least live years. Other southern cities have made most liberal offers all the wav f om $10,000 cash to a water power already developed worth $oO.OOO. All we ask ot Asheville is to remove the above difficulties, and to that end, we propose as follows: The I'ropaal lion. The citr snail continue its water main to our dam, connect the water pumps thereto ia running- order, turn over to us the present water power plant exclusive ot toe pumps, ami we will furnish the city water just at what it has cost heretofore. We claim that the City would get much purer water supply from our dam than they have at present. Passing through a lake of such dimensions this water would be inevitably much purer and cleaner at the surface near the dam where the pumps would take it. When all this power is utilized by our factories the payroll will amount to $100,000 per month, and the plant will represent more than a million dollars. It will take about six months to build the dam, working 200 hundred men. I shall only add that we are ready to go to work at once, and further, that the City may count on our complete assist ance in any public enterprise, and in making Asheville and the outlying dis tricts leaders in trade and manufacturers, such as nature has already made them in scenery and climate. Yours, A. G. Maxwell. Tlie Froposlllon Will Ue Rejected. The special committee from the Board of Aldermen, Mayor Patton, J. M. West all aud W. W. Jones, met this morning, with W. G. Maxwell also present, and after going through the above proposi tion, unanimously decided to report upon it unfavorably in its present shape. The Mayor stated to Mr. Maxwell that while he was at all times ready as an in dividual to consider business proposi tions he would never, for an instant, ugree to donate the property of the city. The people of the city will he interested iu knowing what the cost will be to make the connections with the proposed new dam. City Engineer Lee and Water Superintendent Murray have made a general estimate and say that at the rate of the Kelly pipe line two miles of line will cost $30,000, and to remove and set up the machinery as it now stands will take $15,000 more. The cost of the present works was between twenty and twenty five thousand dollars. FRO TRINITY. What Tne Bludenla Are Doing A Mule Line. Tkinitv Park, Sept. 27. Trinity Col lege has now on roll about 1G0 students with new one arriving daily. The fac ulty hope to enroll 250 before the session closes. The football ground has recently been put in good shape through the kindness of Mr. II. J. Bass, who is a sincere friend of the college, and we now have one of the finest grounds in the South. The Trinity team will ulay the Wake Forest team in Raleigh, Oct. 17, and the Wash ington and Lec team of Virginia at an early date. Asheville may be proud of her streets with good reason, for since seeing the streets ol Durham, I havecoiicluded that a town without paved streets is in bad condition. Nor does the street railway here relieve matters much, as there is only one line with one car drawn by two mules. The Durham baseball team crossed bats Monday and Tuesday with the Roanoke team and sent the Virginia boys back home with two overwhelming defeats. Trinity Methodist church is to organ ize un Kpworl li League at an early date ami several Trinity boys who are drawn in that direction by more reasons than one have declared their intention of join ing. Part of Judge Avery's law class went to Raleigh last week and stood theexam ination for license to practice law. All of them received their license. President Crowell has pone to Pilot Mountain on a business trip. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. K. I . Walker of Asheville on our streets this afternoon. "A'ewie."

He then wrote to agents of the Big 4 and the il. cc U. routes, which corn- pete between Cincinnati and Chicago. They both responded promptly, and each sent an agent here to see what terms could lie made. Doth expressed themselves willing and anxious to make liberal reductions, such as would enable large parties to be made up, and the rep resentative of the Big 4 stayed here more than a day, saying that he was trying to get tbe same rates from lure as pre vailed from Knoxville. This rate is a single fare for the round trip, or from Asheville $19. Co. Last evening the agent ot the Big 4 left, saying he had been un able to get terms here, but would go to Knoxville and do the best he could to get these rates, put on from Paint Rock. Mayor I atton still hopes to accomplish this much before next Monday, but he, as doubtless many others, are surprised and mortified at the action of the K. & li., which is unfortunately the cUy'fl only company. Seined Tne Liquor. Charleston, S. C. Sept. 30. The whiskey constabulary yesterday seized five packages, containing 47 and a half gallons of whiskey, which came into the city from Augusta, via the Southern Express company. There were four ten-gallon kegs and one seven-gallon keg boxed up and consigned to Diamond D. 1 he consignee did not show up. SHOT A LITTLE CHILD SHOCKING rebdlt from rf. 8INTIKG A.M OFFICER. Nell 9lcintot.il, a Desperate Man, Resists Arrest His Cblld Bitot Bt An Officer in Altemptlng To Oct Tbe a'attier . Marshall, N. C, Sept. 30. Special. On Thursday night last Deputy Sheriff A. J. Arrington, accompanied by a posse, weut to the borne of Neil Mcintosh on Fosters creek, in this county, to arrest him for an assault. When the officer attempted to enter tbe house Mcintosh met him with a drawn axe, whereupon Arrington fired. The ball missed Mcintosh, but entered the side of bis little two-years-old child, inflicting what is supposed to be a mortal wound. Mcintosh then surrendered and is now in jail. Arlington came iu today" and surren dered to tbe sheriff and was placed in jail to await a bearing; on Monday. Mcintosh is a desperado and refused to be arrested by Arrington some time ago. JUUMIC I'XIAa COCKE Well Known Tennesseelan Has Keller From Misfortune. The Knoxville Journal of yesterday has the following item regarding a gen tleman often seen in Asheville : "Judge Ellis Cocke, the famous defender of moonshiners in Tudce Kev's court. was in the city yesterday and was in an unusually hariLV frame of mind. The judge was noticed to carry himself more erect and seemed to be taller than usual. Those who know him are aware ot physical misfortune as to his lower extremities. Recently he permitted Dr. Hatcher of his town to experiment by cutting loose certain contracted leaders in the ankle, which has afforded him wonderful relief and enables him to nav igate with greater ease. His father, he says, had expended $2,000 in having a noted New York specialist operate on him for weeks, who never afforded him one half tbe relief this simple operation naa. COUECTOR I:LIA8 RETIIRNtl. He Still Has Mo Doubt of His Con firmation. Collector Elias returned from Franklin today and immediately took up the thread of office life at his desk in the government building. His stay in Frank lin was for the purpose of preparing cases for court, but a notice from Judge Armhcld to tbe sheriff saying that there would be no session of the court made it unnecessary for Mr. Elias to remain longer away. Mr. lvlias said that he had received intimation that charges had been made in Washington airainst his oersonal character, but that he would come out ot the investigatiou unscathed and fully vindicated. He said further that he had no doubt of his confirmation. A RIVER OROPPKD OKI THEM. Tweuti-eight Miners Drowned In n Bllcnlsran Mine. Chystal Falls, Mich., Sept. 30. Twenty-eight miners were caught in the Mansfield mine yesterday and drowned. None of the bodies have been recovered, and it is believed tbe river will have to be turned from its channel before they can be reached. They were working directly under the bed of the riyer, when it broke through the roof of the miue. COLIIER AT UKVNHWICK. This May Make tne Mortality Small. Bhi nswick, Ga., Sept. 20. About 20 cases were reported yesterday and one death, Mrs. J. P. Mullin, wife of the gen tleman who died last week. Surgeon Paget sa ys that the outlook is favorable for a large increase in cases during the next 15 days, but tbe mortality will be small. The sudden chilly atmospheric change warrants bis predictions. VAN ALEN DECLINES An East Settlement of An Embar rassing; Difficulty. Washington, Sept. 30. Special.
