Bostlce made a report last night to the board of aldermen concerning the agreement he had been able to reach with the property., owners on Charlotte street and Montford avenue for property on these two thoroughfares necessary for the proposed widening for other switches of the Ashevllle Electric com pany. This report showed that nearly all the parties had been seen who have property abutting on the part of the streets to be widened and the sum asked by those on Charlotte street amounted to approximately 37500. The Montford people asked for about $2500; there Is not as much property to be considered, however, on the lat ter street The board thought it best to appoint a jury to pass on the dam ages on Charlotte street and the J46ry was ordered appointed. One or two of the property owners on Montford had not been seen so that matter was held over until the next meeting. It will be remembered that the Elec- trlo company asked the board last spring to see what arrangement could be made with the property owners on Charlotte, Montford and Merrimon for the proposed widening; and it promis ed to bear all the preliminary ex penses, whether the proposition should be Accepted or not A jury was ap pointed and the necessary property was condemned and valued by this jury. Its report was accepted for Merrimon avenue but the others were rejected. About two weeks .ago the matter was taken up again, and the board asked Mr. Bostlo to confer with the property owners, as the agent for the city, and see what arrangement could be made and if a jury would be necessary. North Main Street. A motion was Introduced by Alder man Fltzpatrick to have a jury ap pointed to assess damages and benefits on property on North Main street from the corner of West College street! to J. H. Jenkins' store for the purpose of widening the street It was decided by the board not to pass the motion last night but to let it pass the first reading and take it up again at the next meeting of the board. In the mean time Mr. Bostlc was Instructed to see the people whose property Is involved. W. E. Shuford reported that he had been able to get about nine-tenths of the property owners on Southslde ave nue to sign the agreement to pay their paving assessments, which were reduced from 88.87 "to 33 per front foot and all interest refunded, pro vlded the assessments are paid in full within 90 days. The board then passed a motion to the effect that all the property owners on that street be notl fled that if they pay their assessments within this time they will have the benefit of these reductions, otherwise the assessments will stand In full, This will Include those who signed the agreement and any of the others who wish to take advantage of it A report was laid before the board as to the propositions that the prop erty owners on Haywood street, from Government street to French Broad avenue, would agree to having a side walk constructed on the west side of the street The amounts asked by the different ones varied widely, and the approximate cost of the side walk to the city, according to these agree ments, would be 32000. It was de cided to refer the matter to the street committee. The recent paving that has been done on Magnolia avenue, Flint street Arlington street and College Park place was reported by the street com mittee to be In good condition and was accepted. Buy Auditorium Curtain. A communication was read from S. A. Bchloss, the lessee of the Audito num. concerning the curtain there. He said that he had understood that everything In the house went with It and that he had never received any money for advertising from fhe com pany who owns it He stated further that the building would have to have a curtain and that a new one wou'. l cost about 3200. Corporation Counsel Glenn said that he thought that about the best way out was for the city to buy the curtain for 350, at which price tne owners offered It some time ago, a motion to take such action was passed. ' City Engineer B. M. Lee made a re port of the condition of the several new concrete sidewalks that have been laid and noted several places that were not In good shape. The board ordered that the clerk notify the con tractor of these defects and that they would be held responsible for them. Penrose Baldwin asked far a llcente to sell whiskey on prescription at Grant' pharmacy from January 1 to July 1, and the rtoiuust was granted with only one dissenting vote. The matter of receiving the streets that were recently opened by F. A. Sumner through his residential nark and that 4ater line be laid through some of them was referred to the street and and atr committee. Sewer Committee Report. The sewer commute made quite a number of report concerning adjust ment and It developed In most of these that the partlea complaining of these assessments were really not In a position to have their property con nected with the sewer in question and therefore the assessment could not be held against th,em. Following this, the suggestion was made that In future the city engineer find out what property can be connected and what cannot and make such notation on his report, so that the board can charge the assessments to the people who derive the benefits. The report of the street committee The question as to how long you are going to continue a sufferer from indi gestion, Dyspepsia or out-ol-oraer Stomach is merely a matter of how soon you begin taking some Diapepsin. If vour Stomach is lacking in diges tive cower, why not help the stomach to do Its work, not with drastic drugs, but a re-enforcement of aigesuve. agents, such as are naturally at work , in the stomach. ' j People with weak Stomachs occa sionally, and there will be no more Indigestion, no feeling like a lump of lead in the stomach,- no heartburn, Sour risings, Gas on Stomach or Belching of undigested food, Head aches, Dizziness or Sick Stomach, and, besides, what you eat will not rermeni and Dolson your breath with nauseous odor. All these symptoms resulting from a sour, out-of-order stomach and dyspepsia are generally relieved five minutes after taking a little Diapepsin. Go to your druggist and get a 60 cent case of Pape's Diapepsin now. and you will always go to the table with a hearty appetite,- and what you eat will taste good, because your stomach and Intestines will be clean and fresh, and you will know there are not going to be any more bad nights and miserable days for you. They freshen you and make you feel like life is worth living. Owens and wife for the purpose of widening Adams street near Its inter section with Southslde avenue was accepted. The petition by several of the busi ness house to be allowed to put mile posts within the city- limits was not recommended by the street committee, to which the matter had been referred. Market House Damages. The joint market house and police committees reported to the board the amounts of damages that they con sidered equitable to the people occupy ing stall In the city market, who claimed damages on account of the work recently done, on the police court room. These damages were as fol lows: Lutz Meat company, 340; Pen land Meat company, 346; J. B. Jack son, 310; and Mrs. Lynch and son, 320. J. L. Guy asked for damages In the sum of 325 and this claim was also re' ferred to the joint committee. Unsafe Buildings. The building Inspector reported that there were two building In the city which he considered to be In an unsafe condition. One of these Is a house on Roberta atreet belonging to J. F. Jen kins, and the other-is on South Main street and is the property of Mrs. S. E, Buchanan. The matter was referred to the public safety committee to de cide what is to be done about them. On request of George Greenlee, col ored. It was decided to extend an In vltatlon to the colored grand lodge of Masons to hold their 1912 convention In this city.

That a surgeon Is not entitled to his full fee when his patient dies when undergoing an op eration was in effect the novel mean ing of a verdict rendered by a jury In the Municipal Court of the Seventh district before Judge Marks. The lat ter refused to accept the verdict and ordered that the case be placed for re trial on Wednesday next The suit was brought by Horace J. Schwarte of Saratoga Springs, the ex ecutor of the estate of the late Dr. Charles Jewett, who was one of the most prominent surgeons of Brook lyn, and connected with the Swedish Hospital. It was alleged by the ex ecutor that Benjamin Praakln, a wealthy manufacturer and wholesale dealer In feathers, at No. 215 Greene street had agreed to pay Dr. Jewett 8600 for an operation performed on Mrs. Praskln, on April 9, 1910, and that Mr. Praskln had given a check on the Corn Exchange Bank in pay ment, but immediately afterward had ordered payment stopped. According to Charles Dushkind, counsel for Mr. Praskln, the check was obtained "by trick and device," and was not intended to be given for that amount Decided on Operation. As testified, Mrs. Pasquin had been III for several day and had called In Dr. Abram Brother of Brooklyn, now dead, but who had been her physi cian for several years. When peri tonitis set In Dr. Brother advised an operation and called Dr. Jewett for a consultation. Dr. Jewett said an Immediate oper atlon was necessary to save Mrs. Pros kin's life and told her husband she should be taken to the Swedish Hos pltab- Dr. Heln, Dr. Brothers' assist ant alleges that Mr. Praskln was told the cost of the operation would be 9300, which he agreed to, and Mrs. Praskln was removed to the hospital that night The next day, according to Mr, Praskin' story, he and other mem bers of the family were in a waiting room at the hospital awaiting news of the result 'of the operation. Dr Heln Anally appeared, Mr. Praskin said, and said the operation wa suc cessful. He then asked Mr. Praskln for the money, and the latter, In his joy at his wife's supposed recovery, signed his name to a check and left the amount for Dr. Hein to fill In. Shortly after, Mr. Praskln says, a nurse came to him and said his wife had died on the operating table. How Clierk Was Obtained. Dr. Heln, the only ne of the three doctor now alive, admitted he receiv ed a blank check from Mr. Praskln and had filled In the amount himself. He said that when the operation was being performed Dr. Jewett told him to go to Mr. Praskln and ask for the 3300, saying he did not know who Praskln was or that he was financially responsible. When Dr. Heln returned with the check, he says. Dr. Jewett then told him to go to the bank to have it certified. At the bank the teller refused to certify the check because the date had not been filled In. and when It was returned to Dr. Jewett the latter de posited It in his own bank. , Mr. Praskin, who says he was of the opinion thst the check was Intended for Dr. Brothers, and that It would be filled In for about 826, after thinking over the transaction, decided to stop payment on the check, and notified the bank to do so. Dr. Jewett allowed the amount to stand on his books without trying to collect It After his death stilt was brought for the estate. Judge Marks Instructed the jury to disregard the circumstances by which the check waa obtained and to consid er only whether Mr. Praskln had agreed to pay Dr. Jewett 3300 for per forming the operation. when th verdict waa announced William C. Roaenberg, counsel for the executor, moved to have It set asld on the ground that It was contrary to the . testimony. - Judge Marks took this ' view and ordered the retrial.
