The talk of the street on Saturday was the all-round good thing for the city in the proposition of the United Industrial company of New York. Men keen in the channels of trade, lawyers, capitalists and the handlers of real estate became dead In earnest when it w.ts given out that the special committee from the city council had decided upon an unfavorable report. The question was as to the surest way to secure to the people au en terprise in plain sight, greatly needed and from every point of view desirable, if itis what it seems to be. The public opin ion crystallized in a meeting at the Ashe ville club in the afternoon, and there the ball was set in motion. Anions; the representative men of the city present were J. H.

It is very much to be regretted that the railroad business of the country is so much depressed that tbe Richmond and Danville system, as well as other railroads in the South, has been forced to reduce salaries. The Richmond and Danville were among tbe last, but have just notified the trainmen that their pay will be reduced 10 per cent., to be put back to the old figure as soon as business will justify it. The Richmond and Danville has been liberal in their pay to their I men. It is honed the stagnation of busi ness will soon be over. The business of the Richmond and Danville svstem has fallen oil over $150,000 per month, so the officials state. On account of slack business the Richmond and Danville was not able to pay their tolls until the 28th instead of the 15th inst. as usual. The officials were cut 20 per cent, on Sept. 1st, but this was not sufficient. The first sleeper on tbe New York and Asheville s'.eeper line came in to Ashe ville this afternoon. These cars will be handsome buffet cars and will hereafter be kept on to try and encourage travel to Asheville. RENEWED TALK OP COMPRO MISE LEfilBLATION. A HIONIFICANT MOVE. Kansas BON MARCHE .

When the company had assumed the proportions of a deliberative body. Post master Kerr nominated tol.A. I. David-' son as the presiding officer of the meet ing. Colonel Davidson was unanimously chosen chairman and Mr. Kerr was made secretary. The latter briefly stated the object of the meeting to be the definite investigation from a. business standpoint of the propositions made by the representative of the United Indus trial company of New York to the city authorities, looking to the establishment of important manufacturing industries near Asheville. Mr. Maxwell TalkH. Mr. W. G. Maxwell, the representa tive of the above company, stated that his company hod organized solely lor the purpose of manufacturing knit floods, and that they believed the South to be the section of the country best suited for their industry. The company hail abun dance of capital anil the strongest men. financially, were behind it. After a careful survey of many points for an eligible location, Asheville had, for many reasons, been selected us the best adapted and the pre liminary surveys and estimates had been made several miles above the city on the Swannanoa river, near Long's sta tion. They expect to make the place si manufacturing centie and would neci 1 .500 horsenowcr to do it. The water nower available was considered inferior to that at other places visited and the estimate of an engineer, L-yron Holly, placed the cost of a dam at $150,000 Then came up the question of invest mcnt to such an amount for the power or the acceptance of oilers made by other cities and their ihan of growth. The danger of pollution to Asheville's water supply was thoroughly canvassed and the idea was suggested ol n proposition to pump the city's water from the company 's dam, do the city's lighting and thus use the surplus power; but the lights were untler contract ami that part of the idea was nbandoned. Concluding Mr. Maxwell said: "If the city will extend the mains and allow the company to pump the water at the pres ent rates, with the deed of the present plant, except the pumps, we are rcudv to begin at once tbe erection of our dam. We will need an electric railway and that will follow. We do not propose to have company stores, and when our help has finished their day's work their time is then their own. We are ready to k to work and build tbe dam and the fir.1t factory. Our help will be skilled labor; our pay rolls will be $5,000 a day and our plant will cost a million dollars." Questions and Anaweni, Mr. Maxwell added that be would be glad to answer any questions that might be suggested to the minds of any person present and Mr. llostic inquired when the work would be commenced under the proposition ? Mr, Maxwell: "Immediately; the dam and the factory." Chairman Davidson: "What is the distance from the present pumping sta tion to the proposed dam ?" Mr. Maxwell ? "About one and a half miles." Chairman Davidson: "What steps have you taken toward securing the land necessary ?" Mr. Maxwell: "We have options five miles up. The dam will be 85 feet high and the backwater will extend five miles. This will give a pure body of water from which to pump." W. W. West : "Docs your proposition guarantee a constant supply of water free from pollution from the start Mr. Maxwell, "The city should not disturb the present works until the dam is 20 feet high; then we will have a steady supply of pure water. We also propose to build a storage reservoir further up the stream." J. I. Kerr said that Asheville s oppor- flitiilv hnrl nnw f-mne mid th.'lt bv CVCrV RiflriliatPS in PharmaCV honorable effort this industry should be uiauudicb 111 riiciiiiiauj. 1 urcd Ifthe co iB al)le to do what they propose, Anhcville ought to exert its very best enelcavors to obtain the prize. Nine out of every ten busi ness men in the city think we should help this company to make its wheels go round. We can't afford to let the thing go by. Other places will be glad to get it. Our climate is peculiarly adapted to the particular kind ot manu facture contemplated. Here the wheels will move the entire year; and the skilled labor rcnuired will bring artisans who command good wages and they will be most valuable to the community and make good citizens. To Iiiveatlicsite the company The speaker then offered a motion "that a committee of three be appointed by the chair to investigate thoroughly and report fully to the people of Ashe. ville. through the public press, as to the responsibility and reliability of the United Industrial company of New York." Hon. II. A. Gudgcr heartily endorsed tbe views expressed by Mr. Kerr, and thought that if investigation proved the company to be all right, tbe situation should he taken advantage of. I. D. Murphy then asked Mr. Maxwell Uoluic out of Uleedluic Iuto Maryland. Baltimore, Md., Ocf . 2. Sixteen Ger man families, tired of Kansas, arrived in Baltimore last week bound for the east' ern shore, in search of plcasantcr homes. They came from the country around Brninerd, in Butler county, Kan. 1 be tract on which 1 hey will locate is the old Henry estate, and consists of about 1,500 acre. The land is to be divided into 20, 40 and SO acre farms a ml sold to settlers at $12 an acre, and they will have 10 years in which to pay it. The land will be cleared and each fam ily will build its log house this fall and winter. In the meantime the colonists will live in two of the three houses on the place and in the three large barns, The colonists form the advance guard ot a larcc body of their fellow country men, now in Kansas and in Russia. Within a month a party of about twenty lanuhes, accompanied by Kev. Henry (5vr, their pastor, will come in from Kansas, and a partv ol 100 lamiucs is expected shortly afterward from Ger many. The Silver Heu Always Reads to Speak Tbe House Will Discuss toe Federal Elections Bill Non-Partisan. Washington, Oct. 2. The ninth week ot the present session of Congress began today. The result of the work so far accomplished cannot be said to be en couraging to persons who had hoped for a speedy adjustment of the grtat finan cial question which caused the issue of the call for the session. The present outlook is towards a con tinuation of the debate which has been in progress for the last five weeks in the Senate. The renewed talk of compro mise legislation, however, gives the im pression in some ciuarters that the end may be near. The list of speakers has not been completed for this week, and it may be assumed that when it is, the names of few repeal senators will appear upon it and the debate will be left al most altogether to the silver men. Three of these, Teller, George and Morgan, are entitled to the floor at any time to con clude speeches which they have begun but not finished. The week's business iu the House will be confined, so far as can be stated, to a continuance of the debate on the election bill, under the order which will exhaust itself on the loth inst. the debate as far as it has progressed has failed to de- velope any ot that intensity ot partisan feeling so freely predicted of it. In fact, it has been rather tame and uninterest ing, and on one or two days last week an early adjournment was necessitated, because there was no one ready to pro ceed with the argument. An improve ment iu this respect is anticipated this week. PENNY SAVED IS A PENNY MADE " Reduced Prices IN Deadly Parallel TII4.T M'lNTOSH AFFAIR NOT HO HPICCIXATIVK. A (irnilliliiK Hliowlnif of New ICii tei priMCH Iu I lie Houtll. Chattanooga, Teiin., Oct. 2. The re port of the industrial development of the South for the third quarter of 1893, ending September 30th, as compiled by the Tradesman, shows a considerable falling off in the number of new indiislties reported as compared with the same period of 1891 and 1892. i hi 1 radesman savs that a careful examination of the report, how ever, shows that tbe decrease has been largely in enterprises of a somewhat speculative nature. The establishment of industries for the utilization and de. velopment of the natural resources of the houth shows a most gratifying average when the niiaiiei.il condition ot the coun try for the past three mon'.hs is taken into consideration. Kveu Hie Mother Exhoaeratcd Deputy Sheriff Arrluiclou. Foster Chi;i:k, Madison county, N C, Sept. 29. Deputy Sheriff Arrington with a posse surrounded the cabin ot Ncal Mcintosh late last night to arrest him for making a felonious attack five weeks ago on William Allen, who had been put in bis place as driver of a lum bcr team on the Marshall road.

Awaiting the arrival of Dr. Eng ish hopes arc entertained that the wound is not fatal, liven the mother exonerated the officer from blame. Mcintosh was secured. He was a brother of Jeff Mcln tosh who was in the Asheville jail last winter. BRUNSWICK IS BETTER. ECONOMY IS THE ROAD TO WEALTH." "A PATRICK DOLAN.
