The cliiif nature of the Kit me at Al'an- dnle jcbtirday was the ii tlomitalilc persistence with which the Asheville wagon pulled up hill. It was a hard tussle and the bill grade wasscvcral hun dred fret to the half mile, but the Moon shiners not in the game to give a close imitation of the way bull is plaved. They played in hard luck a go 'd deal of the time, becti use once in a while some one would fetch the ball a swii c that looked sale for several bases, but hopes would be shattered like a play house as a long hungry Spnrtanburgcr Ojicncd his tiaws and made what looked like an impos sible play. Mean errors, too. in the beginning wculd creep in and cost more than the team wanted to pay, and when the fourth inning closed there were many who didn't believe Ashevillccoulil recover against the lead. Hut the fiat went round among nine men who wore the Asheville suits in the tilth to the 1 fleet that there must be a spitting on ol hands and a hitting ol'ballsnnd that the visitors must no no more harm. 1 hen the pull began and the game was won Ihcrc was never such an Aggregation of instruments of torture as broke out when the teams got ready lor the battle Tin horns, bird calls, hunters' lion s, toritcdocs. and so on were cnrriid by scores and is doubtful if a team ever faced such a noise-making gang here. H was m istly good natured, but the bovs icniiuibeiid how noisily Aslu ville was riceivcd in the Spartan town and there was n desire to get "bunk." The fuss at times was so great that the umpire could no mote be heard than could the scueak of a pigmy in the uiidsl ol a thousand howling Dervishes. The grand stand was filled and the patriotic ladies wore red aud while Asheville colors proluselv and were 1 li eral in their applause. Iu fact, the colors were to be seen nlmosl everywhere. It was truly Asheville day, a (lav long looked for and one resulting in rij iicing When I'mpiri liiiggs called the proces sion to move Jack I'.reen went up lor Asheville and spotted tin-first ball :11ms pitched. There was a trumpet blast, but it died away as Thomas nipped i a id placed (jreen on the retired li.-t at fust. McClung took what ought to have been a hit but Jaine got partly iu Iriml nt it dropiK-d it and then ncovcred lumsi I: 111 time to cut off the lunuir. It was a good play and many 'carts beat laster at the prosHct ol a cipher on the boaul. Out Young's eye for twice two caused a howl that was multiplied 1111 hundred fold ns Stephens drove a douMc sale into center on which Young scored. Sianlev followed with a hit pa-t short, but the scoring stopped when Lunier's lly till in to Huggin's glove.

Sullivan gut one to suit ami stared it afield, but Stanley got in the way ot it and the batter died at lirst. Robertson was lirst out iu Ashevillc's second, three strikes causing it. Melz put his weight against a lick that sent the ball against left fence fur two bases, and Williams iiccepcd a present ola base, tirccn's fir was taken bv livins, but McClung basted toward center and on errors at second and center Mel and Williams scored and MeCiuug went to third, but was hit there.

Powell's hit to center scored lames, while Thomas knocked a ball to left that seemed easy a foul, but was called safe and Dennett and 1'owcll came 111 Iluggin hit safe and Williams made a wild throw away over to lirst, Ii tting lhoniasm. livins died trom l.amer to Green. Such climbing ns Ibis presaged ilef at lor Asheville and there were calls for anything resembling a run. Stephens' loul lly had the bad luck to go to Hug gin, but Stanley got a base.

Sullivan scored on James' hit, Bennett weut out by Orcen 011 n sacrifice that scored Hnvcs, and James scored on Williams mutt ot Powell's easy llv. Thomas hit to Green way oflT first and was out out nicely. Asheville wus shut out 111 tuc tonrtn, McClung alone seeing first base. Spar tatiburg scored a pair, and right time their mascot lelt them.

Thomas fouled to Green and the baseman got in the first double play by putting it to McClung iu time to head off Powtll. Seven batters went UD in Ashevdle's sixth, but Robertson was the lonely scorer. The feature wus a fancy left hand catch of Mctz's long Hy by Bennett. Thric batted for the visitors, Hiiggin missing first, Evins hitting but ding on n double on Sulli van's bit, between Lnnicr, Met: and Green.

The intcher ran down and it looked ns if the gnme was lost, but the bill was dropiwd by Iluggin in a colli sion with Williams aud the hitter got buck to third by the dropping of the ball by a fielder who was covering the base.

The Attempt occurred Iu Ibe Conutv Jail, Where Col. Allen Wan a Hrlsoner An iulereMiluic Life HlNlory. A drip, drip, drip as of Mowing water attracted the attention of J.

Mr. lamison instructed Grant to grasp the arm tightly above the wound wl lie he summoned Dr. II. L. liaird. the county physician, who reached the jail about 10 minutes later and attended to the wounded man. The wound had stunned bleeding belore the physician arrived. Col Allen, who is well known in Ashe ville. had attempted to take his life with penknife, which he probablv had on his crson when tut en to jail, iilihouc,h he wus searched at the time by the jailer.

The Colonel had been teaching school and il was charged that he raised Ids salary heck from .'lj.;iU to . ki.fiO. This he passed upon a met chant in Koliliinr vine, with the explanation, it is said, that he had taught one ioith that he had not been paid for and he had added the amount to the original check.

Allen left a letter to Shcrill Brook shite, which is dated July 12, which in die it, s that he meditated the rash act for several (fays. The "U" in the dale, however, seems to be made over another ligmc so that it does not seem absolutely certain that it wus written on that date. The letter follows: Shcrill Hrotik.-ihirc: 1 commit a rash act, lint my d.iy is p ist.

BACK TO THE SENATE NOW THE TARIFF BILL, AND FREE RAW MATERIAL Hill Fpeka For Free Coal aud Iron to an Hume UHelCro wd-T he President lo WHnoii-AualuHl the lucomo Tax. Washington, July 20. As part of his remarks iu the House Yesterday Mr. Wilson had rei.il ut (he clerk's desk a long letter written to him by the Prcsi-1 dent wherein the hitter defines his posi tion on the pending bill. Thesailcnt points of this documcn , which were received by frctpicnt outbursts of ap plause by Democrats and occasioned peuls of laughter by the Republicans, are these : He admonishes the House conferees to stand firm for free coal and iron ore as they were promised the iicople when the party pledged itself to free raw ma terials. He declares that to accede to Republican protection in the bill now in conference on these terms would be a partv dishonor and a party outrage. The Senate bill, he says, fell far short of being what the rank nnd file of the Dem ocratic party demanded. On sugar the President said the party could place a tax without being subjected to the charge of abandoning Democratic prin ciples, even though the charge might be made, although it would bcexaggerated, that the party was encouraging the reliucrcH of the country. There would he no obj ction to a tax on sugnr if that were neccsary to secure the passage of the bill, but in respect to coal and iron ore the President said there must he no receding from the House bill. The Pres ident's relcrence to sugar as n "delicate subject" caused much laughter on the Uc publican side of the chamber. ( hie ot the concluding paragraphs of lite I ttcris: "You know how much I k pin lied the incorporation into tin il I lie income tax lea tit re. In a utat 'I this kind, which does not violate fixed and n cognized D-moe-ratic pim ple, we aie willing to di let lo the judg- tent ol our Democratic brethren."
