MIDNIGHT.
AT
Tbe Two Houci of Congress On
Their LmI Legs Few Members
Present K of P. lu Tbe nai
leries. Washington, Aug. 27. Although the
Senate program for today is the same
us that which was followed Friday last
when the absence of a quorum was cover
ed up by the transaction of legislative bus
iness behind closed doors, the galleries
were crowded before tbe hour of noon
by visiting Knightsof Pythias in thecity,
and by ladies nnd followers who
have come to Washington to witness the
annual encampment of the Knights.
There were only twelve Senators pres
ent while the opening prayer was being
onerea. At iwv, on motion ol Cock
rcll, the galleries were cleared, the doors
locked n ud the Senate proceeded to con
sideration of executive business.
The tariff bill, which has been in the
custody of the treasury department since
shortly after it was sent to the President,
was returned to tlie White House this
morning;. It is stated authoritatively
that n veto is out of the uuestion. The
bill will become a law at 12 o'clock to
night. Secretary Carlisle this morning decided
that goods now in bond can be entitled
to the privileges of the free list of the
tariff act.
The doors remained closed till 11:5.
when the Senate adjourned until tomor
row at noon.
In the House the galleries were
crowded with visiting memliers of the
Knights of Pythias. Less than 50 mcm-
lcr ol the House were present. At
12:5 the House adjourned until tomor
row.
UN Till-: MAIN LINK.
Railroad Haul Thai lie Hoad-
tueu are TMikluir Abour.
There is an able-bodied, welt-dcfiucd
rumor in railroad circles to the effect
that ou the fust day of September Paint
Rjck will lie discontinued as a rcbilling
'rciiiht station. Heretofore, mid now,
II freight coming onto the Southern
from Western points had to be rebilled at
aitit Kock before being sent on its
way. I Ins new order that is looked lor
by the first will make of the "Rock" a
station of much less importance thnn it
has been and will send freight direct
from western shipuing points to the
east.
Something in the nature of news is ex
pected in a little while anent tho rumor
that has been current ns to a change
whereby the hue from Paint Kock to
Morristown would be made a part ot
the eastern system, or the liii' from Paint
Kock to Asheville v.ould be alt: died to
the western svstcm.
W. D. Willinnis. cnbicr in Freiirht
Agent Olive's office, has severed his con
nection with the Southern here nnd gone
back to his old love, Knoxvilic, lenn.
Mr. Williams was in the freight office
nere lor about six years. Itis place as
cashier was taken bv VV. P. Powell, who
recently succeeded Frank Darin-as ticket
ngei.t at the depot. Mr. Powell, in turn.
as Been succeeded bv 1. I. V1thrr9poon

ANOTHER FACTORY.
Mkvlaud Furnllur Company Be
lt-Ins Business.
The Skjlnnd Furniture company, a
new organization for the purpose of cur
ryirg on the business indicated by its
name, has begun operations in Ashc-
iile. The company was recently incor
poratcd, with a capital stock of $;12,000,
and the privilege of increasing to $100,-
UUO. its officers are J. V. Sawyer, prisi-
lent; Lewis Maddux, vice-prcsidint: W.
W. Ilurnard, secretary and treasurer.
The Skylaud company succeeds the
old Asheville Furniture anil Lumber
company; at least, using the splendid
plant tormcrly in use by the latter com
pnny. At present the number of men at
work is not Innje, but as the lumber sup.
ply is increased tbe torce is to be in
renscd until at least 50 men are cm-
ployed. All classes of furniture, desks,
tc , (ire to lie manufactured.
II. h. Clements, an experienced man.
is the superintendent ol the factory.
1 he capital stock ot the company is
paiil up, and the business is in the hands
of well known Asheville men. There are
many reasons whv Asheville should be
a good point for furniture nianufactur
ing, and it is exmctcd that the Skvland
company will demonstrate the fact in
the near future.
THE REUNION.
Rongh And Readies Aud Com
pauv K At Tbe Waterworks.
The nnnual reunion of the Rough and
Ready Guards and Company K of the
11th Regiment was held at the water
works on the Swnunanoa Saturday and
Sunday.
Ou Saturday an eloquent uddrcss on
the life and character of Senator Vance
was delivered by Hon. H. A. Gudgcr,
and short and valuable speeches were
made by Messrs. Locke Craig and 1. K
Ransom.
On Sunday a memorial sermon was
delivered to near 1000 willing listeners
by that able divine, Dr. )oua S YVatkiui,
of Spartanburg, i L. I he sermon was
uot only nlile, but was ireighttrl with
many valuable and kind references to
the beloved Vuuee. The sermon was
from the exel imntion of Israel's king at
the death of liiulm: "the clmiiots of
Israel nnd tbe horsemen thereof," And
words ol admiration ot the cltort were
beard on every hand.
There were 15 Rough and Readies nnd
18 memliers of Company K in camp.
While in Asheville Dr. Watkins and his
wife were the guests of the companies
be came to address.
Gloomy canal Prospects
London, Aug. 37. The Daily News
comments on the quarrel between the
Misquito reservation as affecting tbe
Nicaragua canal. It holds that the
prospects of the undertaking arc ti
tremrly gloomy. "The work can be
carried out." it says, "only br the sup
port of American end British capitalists.
As the United States would certainly
seize the canal in the event ol war with
any great power, the can si must be cut
bv Americans or uot at an."
IX STRAIGHT.
firecnvllle Assaulted and Bea'cn
AR-aln Saturday.
And this is the end! Greenville was
saltrd down by the Asheville bovs to the
tune of six games straight. This in
spite of the fact that when they left
Greenville the News proudly asserted
that the team would capture five out of
the six. Alas and alack! The great
"world-beating nggregation,"the bright
stars of the Tinpan League, had to sub
mit to the humiliation of getting noth
ing whatever. And yet there is a man
on tbe team with gall enough to kick
about the umpiring. He I Morgan ) tele
graphed a roast to the News of Umpire
VYigntman. tt was hoped this kicking
would be stopped, but it is sure now
that Greenville will never stop it. Mor
gan, tbe man who sent the telegram
roast, told Treasurer Bouis Saturday
that Greenville had not had fairer um
piring this season than she had on this
trip, i'coplc who have no interests to
subserve by warping a storv will say
that the dicisions of Umpires Wightman
uid Packard were all right. Mr. I'ack
ud hus umpired manv games here and
his fairness was known by all patrons.
Mr. Wightman is an umpire of the
Arkansas State League, hailing from
Little Kock, and bis work was very
ntisfuctory to all but Greenville.
Saturday's score was 14 to 0, and
Cain, whose apathy ordinarily is enough
to discourage a whole team, was rcspon
siole fbr a good share of the defeat.
'rettv catches were mnde by Craig and
im Clarke in the outfield. In theseventh
George Stephens smacked the ball over
mlit fence for a homer, and Austin
Clarke followed in the eighth with a
four bagger. Three men in the fifth
went out to Oldham on loul tips.
1 he truth of the matter is, Greenville
cannot play more than one or two good
games in succession. With a win ol a
series paresis seems to set in and the jig
up. II the boys will practice until
next season they may be able to give
Asheville an interesting game.
Knoxville will be here lor a series be
ginning Thursday, if they cannot be
brought sooner. There arc several
new men with the team, chief among
them being Pitcher Conovcrof the Texas
state League.
Mctz bus a record to be proud of. Nine
straight games he has played without
an error. tn kiug 24 put outs and 20 as
sists on 50 chances, His hatting aver
age is 500 per cent., getting 15 hits out
ot .10 times at bnt.
"Old lack" Green continues to play the
limit in a most gratifying way. He hits
nnd fields with all his power.
Augusta did not appear today to be
gin the scries with Asheville, aud a tele
gram from Manager Kedwood this
morning has brought, no response from
the Wuybnck Howlers. It is probable
the team has jumped its date, thus
knocking Asheville out of three more
victories. Muunger Kedwood, consider
tug that Augustu is oil', has telegraphed
ivuoxvillc asking them to come, it possi
ble, tomorrow to begin the series.
TAMPERING WITH MAILS
Tim Chnrica on Which J b. Med

Win. Connrd, a postofiicc inspector,
