In the House vc stcrday afternoon there was introduced the expected order from the Committee on Rules reluting to the consideration of the tariff hill and cognate measures. It provided that it should be in order uftcr the passage ol the order to move that the action of the House requesting a fur ther conference on the tariff bill be re scinded; that the conferees be dis charged from further duty in connec tion therewith; and that the House agree to the Senate amendments in bulk, which motion shrill be debated two hours, when the rote on its adoption and the motion shall be indivisible. Sec ond, that it shall be in order after the introduction of the order, to present in tne Mouse and consider without refer ence to any committe, bills for placing sugar, cum, iron ore ana DarDea wire upon the free list. Thirty minutes shall be given lor the discussion of each bill, and then a vote shall be taken. Mr. Keed demanded the yeas and nays, and the House order was adopted, 17J to 07, not vo-ing 11. Upon the an nouncement of the vote Chairman Wil son immediately submitted in writing the motion provided for in the order adopted. Mr. Keed made the point that the order was not before the House. The bill bad been brought in, however, dur ing the roll call, nml the Speaker pointed to it. Mr. Keed sat down disconsol ately. Mr. McMillan, a member of the Ways and Means committee pointed out some of the good features ot the Senate bill, free wool, free lumber, free hemp, etc., and the reductions in the general sched ules. Mr. Tnrsncy, Democrat, of Missouri, made a bitter attack on the Senate bill. He said the highest authority in the Democratic party had stigmatized the bill as filled with iertidy and dishonor. Mr, Wilson then demanded a vote on the resolution. The yeas and iin s were ordered and resulted: Yeas 182, nays IOC; present and not voting 3, So the Senate bill was adnple I. Mr. Wilson then introduced, one after another, and the House passed, separate bills providing for the free admission into theUnited States of coal, iron ore, sugar and barbed wire. Free sugar passed by a vote of 270 toll. In the Senate today as soon as the journal was read, the chief Jerk of the House apearcd and delivered a message announcing the passage by the House of bills to place on the free list sugar, bit uminous coal, iron ore and barbed wire. The message made no allusion to the concurrence of the House in nil the Sen ate amendments to the tariff bill. When the vice-I'residcnt laid before the Senate thefrcelist bills, Mamlerson asked that they be read at length and objected to a second reading of all of them. Hill gave notice of amendments to each of the bills, providing lor the repeal ol all income taxes. The separate bills will not come up until tomorrow. The tariff bill will tomorrow, when both Houses are in session, receive the signatures of Speaker Crisp and Vice I'residcnt Stevenson. The bill will then he taken to the President who, it is be lieved, will let the bill become a law with out his signature. TKM PKMANCK DKLKOATKH BtiHlncaa of The Meeting in The Conrt Honar. At the temperance meeting in the court house Inst evening Rev. Dr. James Atkins ol the Asheville Female college was called to the chair, and briefly explained the otija-t of the meeting, which was to send delegates to the State Temperance con- ference called to meet at Grecnslmro to morrow, the 15th. The conference is to lie composed of temperance workers all along that line of tboucht, irrespective of their religiousand political affiliation?, the prime objret being to devise the best means possible to rid the Stnte of the whiskey traffic. Rev, I. M. Tohnson was appointed secretary. The following gentlemen were Bp pointed delegates, renresentinr' the several denominations and various political parties; Rev. J. L. White, Rev. Dr. Atkins. Mai. T. C. Westall. I'. A. Cummings, esq., Rev. J, M. Johnson, R. it n - t t ii, icli uuu iev. j. it. uHnnon. Messrs. Albright. Westall and lohn- son made brief, pointed remarks. Maj. Westall, when appointed a delegate said, substantially : "I have been a tem perance worker all my life. Fifty-four years ago, when a mere child, I joined the Washingtonian society, and since then I have worked with all the temper ance organizations. And, gentlemen, you know where I stand today. Now, if you can show me a better place to stand where I can more effectively fight the great evil of the 19th century. 1 win anxiously leap 10 me position. 11 you can't do that I'll stay where I am. From the number present this evenins one would judge the temperance senti ment to be at a low ebb in Asheville, The announcement tor this meeting was made in all the churches last Sunday and individuals have been working it up dili gently ever since. Now look at the au dience, (10 persons, curious spectators and all) from a city of 12.000 people, and this meeting on the subject of the greatest evil that ever cursed humanity. A stranccr to look in on us now would judge us to be a belated survival of some thing, a fossil ol bygone days ol human thought." Dead on a Box Car. liarly yesterday morning as a freight train from Tennessee was nearing Taint Rock some ol the crew found a white man stretched on top of one of the box cars, dead. There were no bruises or marks indicating the cause ol deatb. It was learned that the man't name wat Merritt and that his home was Bristol.

Mr, lllnnk was looking over bis Sat urday's Citiirn, While reading the church notices he asked aloud "What would Paul do if became to Asheville f" taking the subject of a Sunday sermon. "Go to Vundcrbilt's," Mrs. Wank re plied without hesitation. THE. VANOILDF.Rtt IN IT. ThCTBeleat Ibe Berkeley Play era bv a SJcore or 18 10 15. The hall game at Allandale yesterday between the Hotel Berkeley Bating asso ciation and the VanGilder nine spoke volumes for the VanGilder cuisine. The game was remarkable in many ways, but the chief feature was the fact that tlnec umpires were retired breathless be lore the score was finished. "Ilabe" Lanier was the first to take charge, but the last half of the first inning was not finished before indignation lud and deep was expressed at his putting out Robertson nt first and retiring the llerk eleys with only a fully devcloied goote egg to their credit. In the second Tbnd Thrash was knocked silly by a batted ball striking him over the right eye, cutting an ugly gash and closing his optic in less than a minute. The umpire saved bin) from falling, but the shock was such that La nier concluded soon that another set of nerves would uo better in charge of the game, and so he retired, and so did both sides, with 0. The Van Gilders showed the Btaying qualities of their food by piling up live runs in the third, which were started on a wild ball from Rankin to first, and stopped by giving (Juint a start on beinir struck a resounding lick in the center of the back with the bull. The Iterkelcys could harvest only one. In the fourth the Berkeleys began to do work, Nat Rogers bitting the ball plumb in the eye and scaring a timid fielder so he feared to tackle it, and the inning closed 2 to 1 in favor of the B's. In the fifth the Berkeleys played ball right, the Van Gilders b Iping them to a good start by Dr Roberts muflimran easy fly that was in Stephens' hunds. Rogers got in another hit, and was h p py at a score of 9 to 0. The Van Gilders in the sixth rave the death blow of G to 0, notwithstanding me ucmeieys came back with six in the next inning to the Van Gilders 2. Mctz bad arisen, flourished and retired ns um pire during these innings, and Green came in for the home stretch. .. It was almost eggs for the Ilerkelcvs irom tne seventh to the finish, while the anUilders strung up 3. the score stand ing 18 to lf in their favor nt the close. The Berkelevs ure not willing to rest un der their defeat, and have challenged the i'--.f:i,i t 1 tiuuiiucrs lur anuiner game.

Paragraphs That Railroad Men Talk About. Two of the car inspectors at I'aint Rock have been taken off duty. Here tofore there hns been separate inspection of cars by the two roads at this point. but there is now a joint ins.cction. Further than this, it is understood that the Southern is gradually doing away with I'aint Rock ns a station for re billing freight. When this is done freights will go through over this line without stop unless it is decided to huve "the Rock" remain as the end of the run. However, this is something as ret un settled. The longest train ever brought over the Asheville and Spartanburg road cntne in yesterday afternoon. There were 44 cars in the "string," mostly empty coal ears, and the unusual sight is said to Iihvc caused a deal ol excitement among the natives along the route. The truin w s hauled by Nos. 010 and 058, two ol the cons iliilation engines. The annual midsummer excursions will lie run to Asheville and other points in Western North Carolina tomorrow and Thursday. There will be two sec tions of No. 13 tomorrow and probably several extrn coaches Thursday, The excursionists come from all parts of the south and their tickets arc eond till October. l abbage shipments from Ilcndcnon villc ate increasing dailv mid there is a cry for more cars to satisfy the shipiers An average of three cars a day arc sent away, but the number will be larger a little later. These cabbages find a ready market in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. There is n shipper at Sandv Bottom who has told the company he does not want yellow cars to ship in. Nothing but red cars, and newly painted ones, too, will be recognized by him. Lbiet Distntclicr Newell is astm-ncckeci official, but it is on account of a car buncle that is giving him a deal of dis comfort. There is nothing definite vet about the vestibule! but something is expected before a great while. DEATH IN MARION. W. P Blanion, Formerly ol Anile- Tlllr, Dlea This Mornlnir. W. P.

An entertainment was given meantime, too, under auspices of the Flower Mis sion, and hy these methods it was hoped that no especial appeal through the press would be necessary. But there ire several instances of sorest need in different parts of the city, particularly near the factory district.' Thcc cases, were they ri kited in detail, would melt a heart of stoac, and the members of the Mission arc doing all that is possible to relieve, but as this is oneof Ashcvillc'sassociiitcdcnd'nvors, it is not expected nor desired that the members should nisumc the whole bur den ol responsibility, therefore we know that it is only neccssnrv to let the facts b; known in order to have friends come to our aid. In every emergency experi ence we have found the gencrout public ready to assist, therefore wc tc I sure ol being immediately relieved of embarrass ment bv telling our tale of woe. Upon two lormer occasions during winter severities, our treasury was reimbursed to the amount of several hundred dollars. We now would feel sufficiently relieved by a contribution of $100 and hope that every one will share in this fund, leaving contributions with Till- Citizhn nt once, as the need is immediate. Mrs. Kli Mus- tin, treasurer of the Flower Mission, will call at TllK Citizen office tomorrow afternoon, hoping to find a liberal re sponse to the foregoing appeal." A BAD BANK MAN.
