A DilUsai 1st Fruitless Search la Aafcevlllc tor Ike Will el Jeka McCermack Olkeea, who Left a Large Fortaae te Bit Vile el . Week. Upacial to Now* and Courier. Asheville, N. C., November 10.—A little more than a week ago John McCormack Gibson, a Cincinnati millionaire, waa married at the Battery Park Ho tel, in this city, on what many believed to be his death bed, to Min Henrietta Cecelia Wolfe, a wealthy Jewess, of Providence, R. I. Mr. Gibson sat up in bed while the ceremony waa being performed by a justice of the peace and with difficulty uttered the words required of him. He died Saturday. borne time pnor to the mar riage Mr. Gibson made hi* will and by the provision of the in strument Miaa Wolfe was to re ceive property valued at more than a million dollars at Iris death. At the time of the mar riage some slight revision was made iu the will, bat the impor tant provisions were not thereby affected. To-day, while preparation* were being made to abip the body to Cincinnati, diligent search was made for the will, bnt without avail. William li. Dickson, Mr. Gib son’s Cincinnati attorney, and who is remembered in the will, the young widow, and the nnrsca joined in the search through tranks and other effects but when the party left for Cin cinnati the valuable papers were still missing. The presumption was expressed by Mr. Dickson that Mr. Gibaon may have sent papers to some friend or legal adviser, but no one concerned could imagine who such person could be or why Mr. Gibson should have sent the papers out of the city. Robert M. Wells, Gibson's Asheville legal representative, has a carbon copy of the will, the only copy nbw, and will send this to Cincinnati in the event the original cannot be found. Lawyers, recognize the possi bility, but scarcely think it prob able, that the validity of this carbon copy will be questioned. The inexplicable disappearance of the papers from tne hotel room, nowevcr, uugnt occasion a great deal of confoaion, they fear, in the event the estate should become involved in liti gation. Mr. Gibson left all hia personal property to hia mother, and hia real property to hia wid ow, and there is no contingency regarding her second marriage, as many nave believed. Mach of romance attended the aiclc bed marriage. Hia first wife waa horned to death in the Hote1|Windsor fine, in New York, and Mr. Gibaon never recovered from the shock of the tragedy. The present Mrs. Gibaon and Mr. Gibson's first wife were great friends and the first wife is said to have expressed the wish that in the event of her death her hnsband should marry her Providence friend. This Mr. Gibson was willing to do, snd they became engaged more than a year ago, and would have been married soon thereafter, but for Mr. Gibson's failing health. When the Ball Makes Mask.

It has obtained control of most of the independent lines in up per South Carolina, and the ex changes at Gastonia, .King's Mountain, Bessemer City, Lin colnton, Cherryville and Shelby have been consolidated and are now practically controlled by the Bell. Time waa when the Bell company controlled every thing and the smaller towns sad ratal communities ware deprived of the advantages of ’phone ser vice because they could not pay the price. The independent concerns came in and have cov ered the rural communities with lints. Now when the Bell gets control of all these we’ll all dance to Its music. ‘Things Be Net Happen.” CtelMM Knr* n# Caul*. In hia Thanksgiving proclama tion Governor Aycock, of North Carolina, after reciting some of the special canaea why the day should be celebrated, says: "For all these blessings we owe oc knowledgement to the Lord.

W»»hl«rto» To*. „ Paris, Nov. 7.—After an ex citing debate the Chamber of Deputies to-day by 278 to 235 votes invalidated the election of Connt Boni de Caatellane as a metsbcr of the House. • The question came up when the committee on contested elections presented its report without recommendation, leaving the Chamber to pass upon the ques tion. Emile Chanvin made a bitter attack on Connt de Caatellane, declaring he bad been guilty of irregularities and saying that the Connt had accused his opponent of being of German descent and aDreyfntard. In the course of hia speech M. Chauvin declared that Connt de Casteliaae. in order to warm the enthusiasm of his par tisans, abandoned all reserve and, through his agents, gave unlimited credit in hotels, inns, and drinking placet, until the district was gay with fetes and merriment during the campaign. niKisD cnjtaons. Connt de Caatellane replied, classing the charges as false. He said he had been accused of buying the election and practic ing charity forelection puipoaes. Nothing of the kind nan ever been proved, he declared, and closed his defense with an ap peal to the Chamber to uphold his election, which, he asserted, truly represented the wiahea of the inhabitants of the Basses Alpes district. The count de livered bis reply in vehement tones and indignantly repudiated the accusations of If. Chauvin, which be declared were an at tack upon the integrity and honesty of bis constituency. Ha explained, further, that be had helped some poor workingmen's organizations, but that he had asked nothing in return. COUNT DEVIANT. When the president of the Chamber announced the result of the vote Count Boni arose and started for the door. His friends crowded around him, shaking bit hand. The business of the Chamber was suspended tempo rarily while the count was es corted to the exit. Just before he left the Chamber be turned and shouted defiantly: "Gentle men, I will he with you again.” Daring the debate there was much disorder, the members of the Left applauding the attacks on Count de Castellane and jeer ing at bis reply, while the count’s Republican associates gave him hearty applause. The result of the vote necessi tates another election in the Basses Alpes district represented by Count Boni. SEAMAID ATTACHE^ BOSSES.

The Seaboard Air Line Rail way Company claims that it had a contract with the show people which provided that if any em ploye became injured while as sisting in thq handling of the ■how trains Mr.. Main should pay all monetary damage asked or received. Some weeks ago an employe was injured, sued for damages, and got $700, which the Sea board had to pay. The road asked the odner of the show to re-imburae it for this amount and when he refused attachment pa pers were secured and tffe 10 horses were seised. The Main c lire us left Durham last night, leaving the horses in the possession of the sheriff.

Hoi Saoctacolar Cenlbtfenffen Erar Seen In New York NmiWCMn. New York, November 10.— Tbe new Kent River bridge, in praccM of construction between New York end Brooklyn, , was dftmaged to tbe amonnt of at leaat naif a million dollars to night by a fire that for lour hour* raged three hundred and fifty feet u tbe air, on the sum mit of the steel tower on tbe New York side. Three men who were at work on top of the tower when (be fire liroke out are reported to have fallen into tbe river. • Owing to the enormous height of the tower it was impossible to reach the fire with any apparatus In the fire deportment and the flames, after devouring all the woodwork on the top of the tower, seised on the timber falsa work of the two foot bridges suspended on the main cables, horning away the supports, un til nearly a million feet of bias log lumber fall with a mighty splash and hiss into the stream. The fall of the wooden bridge carried away scores of lighter cables and guys, which trailed in the water, rendering it acces sary for the police to stop all traffic op sad down the river. The Fall River steamer Puritan and several other craft had nar row escapes while running the gauntlet of fiery brands that fell in showers from the burning bridge. The fire was the most spectacular conflagration that has ever been seen in New York. The fire started in a wood shed and from this spread to the great timber frame work. With in five minutes after the first discovery of the fire the whole top of the tower was in a blase. Then the foot bridges fell, carry ing with them many tons of bolts, rivets, nuts and tools. At that moment the Brooklyn fire boat was just below the bridge and a heavy steel beam fell on her, breaking her rudders and sending her drifting helpless down the stream. Sound steam ers and all other up river navi gation was stopped. About the Cherry Tree Maaey. Cbulotie Observer.MS. "I don’t know bow I am to distribute that $10,000 among those women who were swindled by the Cherry Tffie Company," said Colonel H. C. Cowles, of Statesville yesterday.
