To i much cannot be said of the Kenilworth Inn and the hospitality wit i which the guests are received: I is situated on a very high ele vat on, surrounded by the most beau tiful scenery Irf Western North Car olina, overlooking the - city of Ashe- ville and the beautiful rivers: the French Broad and the Swannanoa, also the magnlflcient estate ; of Mr, Ge( Tge Vanderbilt, which is beauti ful beyond description. We also enjoyed a drive to the top Of Sunset Mountain, which Is 3,136 fee;; above the sea-level, and from wh ch we could see into six different; States. While on top of the moun tain, we could see the clouds below us land a ; heavy rain and the sun shining above, which was indeed a treat to us. (.

CH SOUTHBOUND NO. 29 DERAILED Fngine and Several Cars leave Track at Lynchburg, No One Killed . Southbound train. No. 29, due to arrive here .at 8:30 last night, was derailed at Lynchburg, Va., yester day afternoon at 3:30 o'clock and as a consequence, all Southbound trains are greatly delayed. " Though the wreck was a most ser ious one, there was no one killed or seriously injured. Two mail clerks were slightly bruised and a few of the passengers shocked by the wreck but their injuries are regarded as very slight. It is considered quite remarkable that there , was not a large number killed and injured. The accident occurred at the bridge which crosses the main channel of the river at Lynchburg and just a short " distance' beyQd the depot. The engine and: ?ail bnt Jpne of the sev eral coaches of the train were de railed. The -bridge ..is of iron trestle work and th -braces' and rods on the sides of the trestle prevented the engine and cars from going into the. river when they were derailed. If it had not been for this, the result would have been frightful. r The engine, coaches and trestle were badly damaged and the loss will amount to several thousand dol- hars. Wrecking crews were hurried. to the scene, but it will be noon to day, possibly much later, before the wreckage is cleared away. After this is done, the bridge must be re paired. At one place a new span will have to be built. .Train, No. 35 was running not far behind No. 29- when the lattlr wa wrecked. It .was necessary, to tran. f er the passengers at the scene of the wreck, but this caused great de lay. As Northbound trains, Nos. 36 and 30 had not passed Lynchburcj when the wreck occurred they wen: tfedrup1dsoTIuV"'ai- tvafnc boUHiess. -The f money.; derived ; from ,.; the ways was almost at a standstill. VA section of No. 35 was made up at Danville last night and ran to At lanta, passing through here a little behind schedule time. The trains are now going over the Chesapeake & Ohio line, via Staunton until the wreck can be cleared up and the trestle Vepalred. At midnight last night the Southbound trains were marked on the ' board, "Indefinitely delayed." Confederate Roster Completed Raleigh, N. C, Aug. 11. State Au ditor B. F. Dixon shipped to, Mr. F. C.
