Flans are at hall mast over the Kovernment building, the Mattery 'ark hotel, and the First National bank. The cmblcmn of nioiirnitia is twined about the court house, the City Mall, the Mattery I'ark, the Carolina club building, and other houses. It is a time ofsadnes? to North Carolina and pecul iarly to Muncombc county, and the peo ple here show by their faces how keenly they feel the loss that has come upon the State. The news of Senator Vance's serious illness was first conveyed to Asheville in telegram from lion. J. S. Henderson to Postmaster Kerr. The first dispatch giving news of the dcith of tin Senator was sent late Saturday niglit by Sena tor Matt W. Kansom to Gen. Kohl. I. imc, brother of the dead Senator. elcgraniB were also received by Collec tor Carter, Mayor Pulton, lion. II. J . udgcr and others. As soon us Mayor l'atton heard the news he gave instructions lor the drap ing of the court house and City Hall and ready hands were soon cii.'aied in the sorrowful, work. On the court house the Imping is over the front ol the second and third stories End the balcony. Midway on the front railing of the balcony are crossed Stars,and Stripes, lastcned with ribbon ol crape, while pist under tlicrn hangs the A. K. flag, biuimg the clasped hands ami the words"Oiie Coun try; One People, In the ccnlrMl win dow on t tie third floor, surrounded bv a wreath of lilies, is tne purttuit of the dead Senator that tor years has occu pied a position on the wall ot the court room, above the judge's desk. The drap ing on the City Hull is tastily done. Memorial Mtrvlce. A memorial service was arranged to be held ut the First llaptist church at :'M yesterday afternoon. The death ol the Senator was announced in several of the churches, and Uev. Dr. las. Atkins prayed tor the family ol the deceased at Central M. F. church, South, at the morning service. This was the first in timation ninny people had of the death. 1 he rust baptist church was packed at the memorial service in the afternoon. file railing back of the pulpit was draped. Mayor ''atton presided over the meeting and m lus opening talk said it was hard, when the heart was bowed down undo: the wiight ot a great grief, to sav "Thv will be done," and nsked "astor J. L. While to read from the Scriptures and lead m prayer to Al mighty lod to give all strength to yield a ready obedience to His will. Mr. lute read the '.list Psalm, follow ing with pruyer, in which he said: "We bless thec tor great, good and true men who have labored lor the upbuilding of man and country, men who have been faithful in church and state. We thank thee for thv servant, the late Senator Vance for his strenpth of body mid ol mmil, una lor lus (nithlulncss in the position in which t hou pined him. We praise thee lor his example, against whiib there is nothing. Now that thou bust taken him from us, help us to say Thy will be done.' and ruise up some one upon whom his mantle may tall ami who may take up his grand hie work where he has laid it down. Mless his family, the country which he loved, and thenution which he faithfully served. And so keep us that when lite is ended we will be prepared for a blessed immor tality. Amen." Mayor I'utton then, with a few ap propriate remarks on the love in which Senator Vance wns held, called lor ex pressions Ironi men who had bcrn warm friends of tne honored dead. Hon. H. A. Gudger was the first speaker. He said that, without design, it wns exceedingly appropriate that the meeting should beheld in this church Where this cihhcc stands: he said once stood the little oflice where the distinguished man began his career. And lust in rear of the church was the rest dence in which he and his young wife lived. Iu his dsath North Carolina lus indeed lost a star, a patriot, a states man and a great christian. It is hard for ui to understand why the Hand has been laid upon him, but we must say Tbv will be done.' In childhood he wns my friend, and there is one side of his character that 1 will refer to and that perhaps know better than any other. That is his christian character. Fifteen years ago, iu Kulcigh, when the greatest cloud that can come over man, the death of his wife, came over him, I saw him when he had gone to his room asking to be lelt alone. 1 saw him take clown the old Bible and read passage after passage. l nave seen mm in biB own nomc wnen night and morning he would thank God for hit blessings. How well do I remcui ber the last time I was at his bouse, when he committed tne and my family to Hit care. There it one lesson we may learn in tbit hour: As he wa true to himself end hit conntrv to should we be true to ourselves." Maj. W. 11. Maloue followed Mr. Gud ger. Said he: "The great ttar that hat to long thone to biigbtlv in the galaxy of Southern ttatcttnen has gone down forever. The Senate chamber it wrapped In the babilimeutt of mourning lor the great man. Mut no locality can annre- ciat the great Ion at can luc people of nutcomoc, wnere oe nrtt saw the light, la tot dart that tried men's touts he left kit fotrttofl of booor and west to battle. could be placed on his tomb than "He Died On Duty. Though his place be filled bv the noblest, the people can never for get the name of Z-.bulon M. Vance." In oncning his nu dress Capt. M. u. Carter suggested that when the meeting adjourned it be to meet again the latter part ol the week, so as to give the peo ple Ironi nil parts ol the country an op portunity to be present, and also sug gested the appointment of committees on resolutions and arrangements, and an honorary committee that shall meet the Itinera! train at Salisbury or Greens boro, Continuing, Capt. Carter said: "I knew the Senator perhaps as well as anyone did. While iu the Legislature 1 had the honor to vote for him twice, ami I have never had cause to regret it. 1 1 will undertake to say that he was al ways actuated by the highest motives in what he did. He was not a politician in the common acceptation of the term, but he wns proud of his Stnte and wns anx ious that she should make a record that would last for all time. Thirty-one years ago when 1 was at home on a furlough, I attended a gAhering nt the Asheville Female college, ot which Lnndon C. I Inynes, the famous Tenncsseean, made an address. Referring to Mr. Vance the great orator said, 'There mav be a spot on the sun, a blur on the moon, a mote on the lily, but on the fair name of .elm- Ion Ilaiid Vance there is not a sinylc blemish.' Those woril.i arc just as true today, and I can pronounce no higher eulogy than that." Mayor l'atton called for an ispiissiou from Alderman . M. Gudger, who was in Senator Vance's ! I company, the Kough and Kcidv Guards. As Mr. Guilger arose he lust control of his till ings and wept as a hcaitbroken child. It was a minute or more before he could command his voice. "If." he said, "1 were asked why Senator Vance had such n hold on the people 1 should say, be cause he had such a large heart. I knew him intimately, ami ut our last meeting he wns us he had always lccii, true, candid, and large hearted. In lNOl Capt. Vance led IDS ot in out of this town. Out of those lOS-or Uu, re cruits and all there arc 30 alive now. Wc all knew him and those who knew him best loved him most. As strong a religious lesson as ivns ever taught me was when he was living in Kulcigh, a widowc, I stayed ull night with him. Mefore retiring he read a chapter from the Mible and prayed. When lie arose ht ml : 'My rt ile's teachings did not bear fruit iu her lifetime, but she triumphed in death." I huird his first political spctch, and from niv standpoint his bugle never sounded an uncertain or false note it meant honesty, lairness mo sincerity, lie bared ins breast in war for his country and State. She re wards him in her tears toduv." Col. A. T. Davidson followed, with the prtfacc that because of their relationship it might not be appropriate for him to allude to Senator Vance's trauseenriart character. "Wc come," he said, "to mourn our friend, our Senator. 1 speak of him us 'our Senator' because he was peculiarly ours. lie was born in the shadow of our hills, nurtured and brought up Here, lie was a boy ol remarkable tal ents, decision of character and energy of thought, l never knew such a remark able man. His humility wns great. He loved the laboring classes, and it was not demagogucry with him. His great heart went out in love ot lus people. We must bury him here. We must ntk respect fully and affectionately of his wile and family the privilege of burying bint here At he sleeps in our cemetery, by the waters of the French Broad, let the requiem be 'Here lies my son, who was u patriot and a statesman. ' 'Tis not all of death to die. Those of us who live in the faith may expect to meet him in the bet ter land." W. W. Jones seconded Col, Davidson's suggestion that a resolution requesting that the remains be buried here be sent to the tumily from the meeting, and the resolution wns adopted. Mayor ration then announced the following commitlees : On resolutions-Caot. M. E. Carter, Judge Chas. A. Moore, M.J. Benrdcn, Joseph li. Dickerson and W, H. Mulone. Un arrangements VI. K. Whitaon. W. A. Blair and 1. H. Tucker. The meeting then adjourned to meet again after the Senator's burial. HONORARY COMMITTKli. Uenilcmeu Appointed to Merl Ilia Funeral Tralu.
