CONFEDERATE VETERANS GO TTIE GREAT REUNION. TO Large Delegation Front Buncombe and Western Counties Traveling in a Special Car Brnce and Ills Laugh in the Party.

The Western rth Carolina vttcrans took up their uiirch to R'chmond yesterday afternoon. They were going back to the old capital of the Confederacy to attend the annual reunion of United Confederate to visit scenes that will awaken a fljod of memories, to meet and talk with men with whom they endured the hardships of war, to make what will be to manv of them the last trip they will ever make to the historic old town. Sme of them bore scars of battle there was here an arm and there a leg but these were all forgotten as they thought in pleasant anticipation of the trip. The "vets" went in a special car on train No. 12 of the Southern.

With members of Zebulon Yacce camp. United Confederate Veterans, Ashtvile, were old soldiers from several western conn-ties, and delegates from Johnston Petti-grew camp. Sons of Conlederate Veterans. Asbet i lie. While the train was standing in the shed lames Ignatius Bruce, whose penetrating laugh is known of all men, was afckrd why he did not join the party.

Bruce replied, with a sigb that showed how deeply he regretted the fact, that he hnd not the money for a ticket. Brnce MRS JEFFERSON DAVIS was told to get aboard the train. A purse was started, at.d in a few moments the price was made up.and soon Bruce was the possessor of a ticket for a round trio and a seat in the special car. He was as nappy as a child with a new rattle, and hi last words to The Citizen were: "Now, tell 'em what the good oeople did for me, and send my wife a paper." The crowd at the station saw Bruce leaning nan way out trie window as the train pulled out, and there fljated back to tbem a prolonged "Haw- a jr-si-w-w," in high C.tbat seemed tocome from a heart bound to find expression or burst a-try-ing. Just before the train startid Maj Wm.

E. Breise entered the car with bis 12 years old son, Robert Hume Bretse, whose appearance caught the eyes of the crowd and brought to them a startlingly realistic vision of the soldier of three decades ago. The diminutive "Cocfrd" was barefooted and clad in the regulation garb, withblanket, naversack. pistol, while, to have the makeup complete, the mnly little fellow cariiedagun across his shoulder. He immediately became the mascot cf the mountain men.

"That's the way I looked when I was a soldier," rm irked Maj Breese. "So many prople think." said M-j. W. W. West, "that that ban foot business all romance.

The silver Democrats regard this conference as a very important affair. The organ zition under whose auspices the meeting is called has beeuN laboring in season and out, for the promotion of tbe silver cause within the Demcbratic ranks. They have had their headquarters at Senator Harris' bouse and from that quarter have conducted a correspondence with chosen representatives in all parts of tbe country, to whom have been entrusted the organization of the silver forces not only in every state, but in very county in everv state in tbe Union, where it was considered possible to etnet tne lodgment of a silver idea. Tbe purpose of tbe ante-convention meeting is to so solidify tbe silver organization as to render it thoroughly effective in tbe execution tbe plans of tbe silver leaders in the convention and to also prevent tbe encroactment of the gold fortes. It bad been their purpose to discuss the platform to be adopted and also to consider the availabilitv oi candidates.

There has been much correspondence bearing upon these two points. BROKE THE NEWS. McKlnley Officially Told of His Nom ination for the Presidency.

W. Patton Pays the City lor Back Water Bents. Water Superintendent Roberts, alter consultation with Alderman Fktchir. chairman of the water committee oi the Board of Aldermen, madesetlleraentSat-urday afternoon with Captain T. W.

Patton for back water rents due the city. Capt. Patton 's property on Charlotte street is supplied with water by the city main as well as by a private gravity line from springs on the mountain above his houses. It was found, some time ago, that the city water was being used, connection having been made without the city's knowledge and without Capt. Patton's knowledge, as he said.

Capt. Patton proposed to Water Superintendent Stokely some time ago that a meter be put in, the consumption of city water measured for a month, and settlement made on that basis for such a let) at of time as might be agreed upon. When Superintendent Roberts went to read the meter Saturday it was found that about 8000 gallons had been used lot the month 51.30 worth under the meter rate. The Superintendent, upon irjq jiiy, was told by Capt. Patton that, durirjg the month, be had been using water from the private line as well as Irom the citv pipe.

It was supposed that while the measurement was being made conditions would remain as they were before the matter came up, in order to make the test as fair as possible. Finally an adjustment was agreed upon, Capt. Patton paying the regular rate back to December. This was as far back as the department had evidence that the city water has been used. The amount paid was $41.13.

Tbe fact is she has been caught blinded by the proposition, uses every effort for that store and eventually finds out she is paying more for her eoods than other patrons do.
