Mr HiuIIIi'h Fxelllnit Time Al The Old ICIecirlc Hiailon. When C. A. Smith, superintendent of the Asheville Street Railroad company's electric station, looked into the unused well of the old power house on tingle strict last Saturday night his usual in rve was caught of) its base, and his heart bumped against his ribs. The old house has been vacant since the company erected and moved into the prcsvnt quarters on Vulkv street, and it has become time stained and tumble dow u, but the duties ol the superintend ent include its occasional inspection. 1 luring ins rounds 011 Saturday night Mr. Miutli peered into the opening uf win won a nan 1101 men 01 service since the removal, and in the uncertain light he thouEht he saw something below that had no business to be there. The night lamp was fastened to a coil ot wire and lowered between the criss crossed timbers and props ill the hole until a depth of 15 Icet was reacLcd and there, upon a plank in the water, might clearly be seen a bulging bundle of white. The superintendent thought of diaboli cal inlaiiticidc, ill-gotten plunder, (lis seeted stills and other ghastly subiccts, the midnight hour and air of dilapida tion adding their dismal features to the ijlo.iniy hirer odincs, and the white thing was assuming the shapcol a walk- IgiK.sr. rufling Inmsell together the superintendent "doused his glim" and started to the square for the assistance of a "cop." Patrolmen Collins and Stcohenson were I'jund and the triu returned to the graveyard silence at the well. The craps were thrown and Mr. Smith won the privilege ol getting 111 the hole. Ilv means of the rough stone edge of Ha waii and the timber braces he descended to the plank and its uncanny looking bundle. The find was reached lor and its cold and clammv softness increased the willingness of the parly in the hole to hurry up the proceedings, and the package and the superintendent were hoisted out of the dampness. 1 lie covcruiL' ol tiic bundle w as found to be a cotton Hour sick and the con tents were an undershirt and a pair of socks ! The olliccrs returned to patrol their beats. The superintendent, after regain ing conscious-less, went back to the sput tering generators of the power house hi ie the rencwintr influences of electric bills Li-ought him around all right, but he now and then mutters that he would 'feel bet let if it had even been a litter of Irov ned cats." vvill-;ltl: Id JOHN TII.LF.V? nil itm i to.i About Illm wanted bv HIM Niece.

Mrs. Til Icy has eviry appearance of a poor but respecta ble woman. She and her child went to police headquarters, and are being eared lor by Mrs. Collins, matron of the Kc lorniatorv. It was suggested that the uncle was at work 011 the Vnndirbilt estate, but in reply to a message from Tim Citizi-n to day Mr. llerndon said no such man was on the estate. Chief llarkins would be glad to have any information whatever about the man Mrs. Tillev is looking for. (ittl-U I.V I M U ti H t Ii I CoiiitreHHloiiat DelritnleH on The llmlal ArraniteiuenlH.

Washington, April L'o. lhe net excess of expenditures over treasury receipts this mouth, which includes $"i,.ilili,00(l for i-itertst, will probably foot up $U (MlO.IMjii. This reduces the working balance to $2 flli),0(i(). At the same rate of loss the treasury bv July 1 next will be reduced to less than $100,000. 000, gold and all. This state of affairs, viewed ill the light of the Meyers bill for the dual pur pose ot coinini; the SoTi.OHO.OOO silver seigniorage and the issue of a three n-r cent, long term bond, is nttractinir meat prominence. This measure is CMiectcd to provide the necessary means ol rccouuiiii' the treasury and at the same time supply gold as a basis for the coinage of the silver seigniorage. I ntil it is made apparent that the Meyers bill will not pass, or, passing, meet the approval of the President, mi plan of building up the treasury cash is discussed in treasury circles with any degree of authority, l uless s inic siieli measure does pass it is very generally admitted that a new bond issue must be put out belorc relief in the shape of increased revenues tan be had from the new tariff hill.

Asheville and all her people have just piide in her city schools, but this feeling will, il pos.-iblc, be increased when Un people hear ol all the complimentary expressions made by the men prominent in the nation on their tiip to Aihcvillc accompanying the body of the late be loved Vance. It will be remembered that near 1 ."i00 school children were massed at the Moiillord avenue building when the burial procession passed. In the carriage with Capt. M. Ii. Carter were Senators Gray and George. Referring to the children Senator Grav said to Capt. Carter: "1 have heard;' nd expected a great deal 01 Asnevuie, out 1 conless 1 am very agreeably surprised by this exhibition. Here me l.oOO children, educated, as you tell me, nt the public cxKnic chil dren of the best families, too. A city that can produce such a result mav cer tainly count on a great future." senator lilackburn expressed himstll in equally complimentary terms. He said; hen 1 came to the white children 1 lilted mv hat, but when we reached the colored children I took it entirely oil'. 1 tell tliat a? tliev had done our treat Senator Vance the honor to come out and join in the expression of grief they were entitled to the fullest recognition (mm ii.. What a glorious country it is 1 hat can produce such an array ol bright, intelligent children, and what a grand lulure there is in store for such a country '" ON IO WASHIKIiTON A DcL'iCitlloii of Worklnicmen to Visit Washington Pun ai.i:i.I'1II., Pa., April I'd.

He said they disclaimed nnvconncetion whatever with the Coxey movement, but .-is workingnien, able to pay their own ex penscs, nnd desiring only to utter a pro test against the passage of the Wilson bill. Col Uright said thev would be treated just as any other American citi zens visiting the capitol. Ilcpninted out the law bearing upon the invasion of the capitol grounds which prohibits organi zations ol any kind marching through them as s-ich, and said unless overruled bv higher authorities he would sec that the law was enforced in this respect, as in all others, in cases coming under his liirisdiction. He said, however, that if they came in n peaceable, orderly manner there would be 110 interference with their privileges ami nicy would Dc entitled toJ seats in the Senat; galleries as long a in they were not occupied.

The dis pensary cases 111 w hull the decision ol the Supreme Court was rendered yester day were brought under the old law. Tillman can continue the operation of the dispensaries, claiming that the new law has not been declared unconstitu tional, though its principal is practically the same as that ol the old law. This would necessitate n new suit. Hcfore it could get up to the Supreme Court there would be a change in the personnel ol that tribunal and a different tcsult might he reached.
