Pursuant to a published call, a number of citizens assembled at the Court House on last Friday evening, •who were called to order by Mr. H. F. Warneke, a member of Council, who stated the object for which the city authorities had called the meet ing to be for the purpose of taking action in regard to ihe completion of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap A Chi cago Railroad Compan3\ and sug gested that a chairman and secretary he appointed. Upon motion Dr. B. H. Teague was called to the chair and Mr. J. C. Hut son requested to act as secretary. The Hon. James Aldrich then ad dressed the meeting concerning the importance of the road, after which the following preamble and resolu tions were introduced by Capt. J. N. ■VVigfall, which were unanimously adopted: We, the citizens of Aiken, in meet ing assembled, realizing the impor tance of the early completion of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap & Chicago Railway to the people of our Town, County and Htate, are gratified at the exhibition of interest which the com munities along the line of the road tire manifesting in its construction, and that the citizens of Charleston seem to be willing to aid in this splendid enterprise; therefore he it Ucaolved, That in our opinion, it is to the true interest of the people along or near the line of the Carolina, Cum- cerland Gap A Chicago Railway, to the people of the 8tate generally, more especially to the people of Char leston, that the great highway of traffic and travel should be built and controlled by Carolinians for Carolina.

This is one of the oldest,most extensive and most reliable firms in the South, engaged in the manufacture of doors, sashes and blinds. Their work is of the best, and their prices reasonable. Give them an order and you will not regret it. Mr. C. K Henderson has greatly improved and enlarged his store. It is now so arranged that the grocery and dry goods departments occupy separate and distinct stores, thereby affording much greater facilities for the convenient transaction of busi ness, and rendering it much pleas anter for lady customers. We call attention to the card of Mr. A. C. Taylor, contractor and builder, which appears iu this issue. Mr. Taylor is a workman of experience, and has given great satisfaction to all who have employed him. He may be addressed through the Postoffice, or letters may be left for him, at the store of C. K. Henderson. The Rev. A. Coke Smith, presiding Elder of the Columbia District, will hold the quarterly Conference at the Aiken Methodist Church, on Satur day next, at 11 o’clock, and will preach at the same place on Sunday next, at 11 a. m.

On Saturday night about 10 o’clock a pistol shot was heard on Main Street in front of Mr. B. W. Moseley’s store, which was quickly followed by a cry of pain. Policeman Grihben and a number of citizens were quickly on the spot, when it was found that James Parmento had been shot just below the heart by a pistol in the hands of John Scott. Both the par ties were young colored men. Scott, who did tho shooting, immediately ran through Mr. Moseley’s store, t * pistol uu.dqr Uw Ptote., the jail, where he asked the jailer to admit him. The jailer refused to ad mit him without orders, and advised him to return and deliver himself up to one of the police. He immediately turned on his track and ran, calling for the police, until he was finally taken in custody by Policeman Kaney. He showed where he hail flung the pistol, and was immediately lodged in jail. It seems that James Parmento the deceased, during the evening had given his little brother ten c^nts, which was taken away by Scott. This led to a meeting and a quarrel which culminated in a fight, Scott throwing Parmento to the pavement. In the fall Parmento dropped a pistol from his vest pocket, which Scott seized and fired at his adversary, who was only a few feet distant. Parmento died between 12 and 1 o’clock, on Sat urday night. On Sunday, Coroner William Har den, impanelled a jury with Mr. Hen ry Hahn as foreman, who after sur veying the corpse adjourned until 10 -o’clock on Monday for the taking of testimony. Drs. Wyman and Ed wards performed the post mortem ex amination. On Monday the jurj'assembled and returned a verdict in accordance with the above facts, viz., that James Par- mento came to his death by a wound from a pistol in the hands of John Scott. The Aiken Academy. On Friday last, the Rev. J. C. Browne and Col. C. E. R. Drayton, as & committee of the Executive Board of Patrona, made their second visit for February to the Aiken Academy, of which Sir. J. R. Mack is principal, and Miss Ida Knight assistant. These gentlemen are much pleased with the discipline and general management of the school, which now comprises 44 scholars. Miss Knight has charge of the primary department, and Mr. Mack teaches the higher branches, in cluding Latin and Greek. At pres ent, the Latin class numbers only four scholars and the Greek one. The children are improving both in recita tions and deportment, under the sys tem enforced by the principal, and the scholarship is gradually increasihg. Both Mr. Muck and Miss Knight, seem to have their hearts in the work, and the committee hope that this ad mirable school will ultimately prove to be the initial point for an educa tional establishment, which will be come an honor to the Town of Aiken. The visiting committee for the mouth of March will , consist of Col. G. W. Croft and Messrs. John T. Gaston and H. B. Burckhalter. Messrs. P. B. Matthews A Bro. have just completed for Mr. F. B Henderson, a truck for the hauling of goods. It is the first of the kind ever introduced iu Aiken, and is a remark- ably handsome piece of work. It ap- E ears to be a model of strength, dura- ility and lightness of draft, and would reflect credit on any workmen North or South. Yesterday Mr. John Grihben resign ed his position as one of the Town Marshalls of Aiken. During his in cumbency of the office, he proved himself a most faithful and intelli gent employee of the Town. His work on the streets has added much to the comfort and convenience of the public, and his resignation will be greatly regretted by a large number of citizens who have observed his intel ligent work. The Pavilion Hotel of Charleston, is one of the best kept hotels for the price that can he found anywhere in the South. The board is from $2 to $2.50 per day, according to the location of room, and the tables are supplied ng under date of February 27th, says: Our World’s Industrial Fair is a great success, a triumph of energy over difficulties, a resort of infinite inter est to all who are capable of reflection and who take thought for the morrow of their country. The main buildin covers thirty-three acres of land, an is filled w’ith the beautiful exhibits of foreign nations; but I think that the chief delight of most of the visitors lies in the Government Building, where we see the progress and devel opiuents of art ana science within our own borders, and are made aware of the mighty resources which lie silent ly around us, and under our feet, awaiting the saw', the barrow, the pickaxe and smelting works. The mineral exhibit alone is a wonder, and whispers the hope of boundless wealth to the young men of the rising generation, who are disheartened by the lack of prosperity now found in agricultural pursuits. In Alabama iron and coal lie side by side in end less abundance; in Tennessee the same may be found, and in fact wherever the Blue Ridge, the Rocky moun tains or the Sierras rise to view', there may we hope for mighty discoveries and great works in the near future An evidence of progress greets our eyes as we enter the gates in the shape of the electric railroad, gliding swiftly and smoothly along, without jolt or jar. This is the coming motor, which iu ten years’ time will probably trans port us from point to point at half the expense of our present method and with far less fatigue. Already many of the streets of New Orleans and many of our buildings are lighted by electricity. The “Hotel Royal,” which is the most fashionable hotel in the city, is not only lighted in this way, hut electric bells summon the servants to attend to the wants of the visitors. Every day the Exposition g&ins in interest, for exhibits are constantly being added to the great number of industrial aud beautiful objects al ready collected, and daily new depart ments are being opened. Each time we visit the grounds we see improve ment, aud as the spring draws near the green leaves and blooming of flow ers, add their attractions to the works of man. Magnificent live oak trees stand in avenues around the build ings, all bearded witli heavy grey moss, which the wind solemnly sways back and forth like tattered banners of departed years of glory, striking the imagination of the visitors from the North or foreign countries as forcibty as any of the sights displayed to view in the great halls. There are 247 acres enclosed, of which eighty are under The Aiken Market. Corrected Weekly by Wm.

We hear—and there seems to be but little doubt of the truth of the report —that the children of the late Andrew Ramsey, of our town, have, by recent death of a grandmother, or other near relative, inherited property in Scot land which will give them some two or three thousand dollars each. Of these heirs there are 5: Mrs. Burckhalter, of Aiken, Mrs. Holstou, of Ridge Spring, and Messrs. Andrew, Robert and Wil liam. We very earnestly hope this may be true.

The London Times commenting ou the vote in the House of Commons on the motion of censure, says: The Government escaped technical ly, but morally it was defeated, dis credited and condemned. It is diffi cult, the Times say, to believe that a majority of fourteen will endure the strain of a heavy vote for the cost of the expedition.
