In nccotiiplisliing this sale it was uiecssirv to incur certain cxpeasis which have been provided for bv a vol uutnrv subscription ot our citize ns, si that the net amount is in the tr- a:.nrir's hands.

Respectfully submitted, "llcni r h'cilwooil, "V. Y. Vinton, "Inuai ce Committee." A short consideration of the report fol lowed, and it was adopted upon motion of Mr. Jones. , He stated lli.it the city wanted to pay all its liomsi, legitimate debts, but that some a very few of the debts were composed partly of improper charges, and such as this-.' ought tube investigated. .Mr. Kcchvooil inquired how it would do lo ask each ireditor to make a sworn statement ns to his ac count, but it was not thought necessary to do this, mid the Hoard nibourned, with an evidcutluling ol congratulation over having consummated a ileal of such importance to Abbeville. It 19 calculated that ol the $lio,lll0 ot the debt, exclusive of the school debt, $4-1,1)00 will be paiil to local creditors, while $10,000 or$lo,0d0of the school money will be paid out here.

At its meeting the school committee figured upon its indebtedness and found that after paving this debt, it would have enough, with the present year's taxes, to ennble it to restate tltesevcntli, eighth nndninlh grades, and Superintend ent l-.ggleston was tlnecletl to notitv tile school children ol the city immediately. Miss Sadie Israel and Mis Alice nines were elrcted to tcnchcrslupn in the white schools and Miss llayius in the colored schools. The following amendments to the ru'es were adopted : "Sec. 10. When children may enter: Children who arc six yciiis old at the 1 time ol the beginning of either term of the annual session, or who will be fix ) within one month alter such time may I enter at the bej;innitiK of the term, but ; children uuder six years ol age whose birthday uors not come wtthm one month after the beginning of the term mny not enter before the beginning ol the next term. "See. 1.

To uo class of people in Asheville did the news of the sale of the bonds give more genuine pleasure than to the school children of this city especially, those who would have gone into the high school grades this term. Superintend ent Hu'clcston was ns jubilant as the protnlest school child, and the school comtnittiemen were not lar behind him. When the young superintendent an nounced in the buildings that the higher grades would be resumed, there wire scenes such as would make a lasting im pression upon even on opponent ol the graded school system, if there be such. 1 here was a general expression ot pleas tire Irom all of the children as thev thought of the opportunity tluir brothers or sisters would have of again attending the schools, and in one ol the rooms a happy little miss stood up ai d gave the superintendent a round of a plause bv clapping her hands gleelullv. On the street this morning Stiperii; tendent Kggleston met a school girl who would have been in a high grade this year but lor the aboli tion if these grades. He gave her the new s of the nstoration of the grades. She was overwhelmed with jov and grusning the superintendent's hand, burst into tears. It was an exhibition of feel ing; that told better than words how de ir to that heart was the city school svstini. As the high school is to start in a few lavs, Superintendent Ivggleston requests pupils who wish to enter the seventh, eighth and ninth grades to call on him is soon us possible for their tickets.

The dead bodies of MitsMary Duff and tier betrothed husband, Fillett I,. Titus Titus of Brooklyn wet e found late last night in a bath house on the beach, be longing to Peter Duff, the young lady's father. Titus had called to see Miss Dull Tues day evening, and was missed from the house early under circumstances that caused the family to search for him next morning. It was discovered Miss Dull' bad nut occupied her room the previous night. A search for the couple was fruit less until lust night, when the bath houses were examined. The latter are merely frame cabins large enough for one person to use as a dressing room, and had been locked nn :l ubaudoned lor the season. In one of the bath houses the couple were found. Miss Dufi was king on ber back on the floor, her hands carefullv lidded on her breast, her dress neatly and tidily arranged, her face blood-stained ami a bullet wound iu ber temple. Titus' body was found iu a corner with a bullet in his brains. The walls and ll ior of tl e bath room were covered with blood. No explanation ol the tragedy can be given. The door of the bath house iu which the bodies were found was locked and the kev n moved from the lock. The neat and tidy wnv in which everything about Miss Dull' was arranged shows that, after shooting her, the murderer, before taking his own life, must have paused long enough to compose his victim for her last long sleep. So lar as is known there was not the slightest shadow be tween the dead couple, and had they 1 ved ihey would have been married next spring.
