The special committee appointed tc widen Five Points reported that the commissioners appointed in the con demnation proceedings . had apprais ed the land desired by the city at $2,750. The city attorney reported that Judge J.

The aldermen were of the opinion that the value was too high, but have not decided to take an ap peal to the superior court. The ad journed last night to meet again in adjourned session next Monday night for the purpose of considering thif question. RAMSKI R STREET. The Ramseur street matter came up for final consideration last night and the question of grading and ma cadamising this street, which har been the subject of work for a special committee for the past year, was fi nally disposed of. The committee recommended that instead of making Lthe lower end of this street the regu lation width, which would necessitate the condemnation of a good deal of land, and the damaging of the prop erty of Mrs. Cooper, that the street be graded and pared at about It? present width. The line of Mrs. Cooper on the south will be taken as the line of the street and the meas urements will be taken from this line A sidewalk will be provided only on the north side of the street unless the people on the other side are will ing to give the necessary amount tor " the sidewaJk. This street wUl not be the regulation width, but the alder men could hardly justify the spend ing of enough money to make It regu lation, and he narrow street at the lower end of Ramseur street will an swer the purpose. Work is to beg's at once by the city street force, an will be done nader the supervision of the city engineer. DO WD STREET.

Negro Boy Turned jn Fire Alarm at tht Hifih School A little negro boy sprang a sur prise on the city high school yestr lay, when lie turned pn the fire alarm The boy went to the school to deliver i package of . warn for someone, ud Vn'tng in the basement of ih 'wilding he did qot find anyone The oungster began biking around for he person ts when the crear.i 0 onged, and finding no one, discovered the push button that turns on the fire alarm. Thinking It a call bell the kid pushed the button, and was scared half out of his wits by the outrushing children a minute later. This is the first time that the fire lrm has been turned on when neith r principal, teachers, superintendent! st janitors knew something about it. I'sually the warning is given the teachers that the alarm is to be turn-, ed on for the practices. The falso ilarm yesterday caused a good do a' of excitement for the time being, but it demonstrated very nicely the effi ciency of the fire drills that have been -arried out, for the building was emptied of over live hundred children 'n a very short time. When all of the pupils had been landed safely on the school ground, the teachers and janitors began to ook for the fire, and they finally found the innocent cau:t; of the ex citement in the frightened negro boy who wanted to deliver his package.
