Ill tbe Balmlesl Portion of the Re public tbe Influenza In Raging to au Alarming Extent and Bus iness la Almost Suspended. Paris, Jan. 9. A despatch from Denain Hcimrrmcnt oi me norm, states that six hundred families in that town have been attacked by the grip. So many of the town officials are so prostrated that the public service is paralyzed. The doctors nre working heroically, but are utterly unable to attend to all of the patients who demanded their services. From Montpellier, in southern France, a city which is noted for its brightness, Is atmosphere and the salubrity of its climate, come reports ol an alarminir in crease in mortality, due to the ravages of influenza. Among the txrsotn attacked bv the disease at Cambria, department of the north, is M. I lubandier, archbishop of inai see. riis pnvsicians retard his con dition as critical. At Lens and Arras, important cities in the department of the Pas de Calais, the disease is prevalent to so great an ex tent mat business is partly suspended. Many of the proprietors of various in dustries in those cities, their clerks and others in their employ are confined to their beds. A later dispatch iust received states that Archbishop Thibandicr died todav of the influenza. He was born at Mii lerv, department of the Rhone, Septem ber 30, lSja. Prior to his elevation to the archbishopric he was vicar general jot Lyons, bishop of Sigdonia-in-Purtibus ami oisliop ol hoisons and Laon. CHAKGKD HANDS, Edwin M Spencer, of New York, Leases the tirand opera House. The management of the Grand opera house has changed hands. Reynolds & Spears, who own the Grand and have been managing it the past season, have leased the house to Edwin M. Spencer, of New York. The papers were signed up this morning. The new manager takes charge at once, and the lease runs three years and six months. Mr" S)encer camehere Irom New York some time ago for his health, and has ocen so much unproved that he decided to remain, lie has experience in opern house management, and will give his new venture his sole attention. "The Clllzeii" Complimented. Tim Citizhs was shown this morning a painting done by F. A. Grace, a local artift, and the one who conceived the idea out of which the Art club grew. The picture represents a table covered with books, papers, etc. To make the collection on the table complete, the ar tist put in y col) pipe, a box of cigars and a package of "Junaluska" smoking to bacco. The supposed inhabitant of the room and possessor of the articles on the table is evidently a mar ol good taste, for Ivinghali open on the table is a copy of The Citizun. The picture is admirably executed. A Mistake. This item is trotting around over the state through the papers: "Two negroes had a dispute over a 50 cent piece in Asheville Tuesday evening, which re sulted in the death of one of them. The razor was freely used, and both negroes were badly cut to pieces. One of them died in a short time, and the other is in a dangerous condition." Asheville pleads not guilty, and asks to be excused this time. To Meet Hon. Henry Watterson. Col. John L). Cnmeron, Cnpt. Thos. D. Johnston, H. A. Oudger, G. S. Powell and P. P.

Our new gymnasium is the hest in the south. Nearly all the equipment is in it now. and every afternoon a large num- bcr of the cadets go there forexercise.and some have thee ntest lor medali in the soring in view. We also have an excel lent ball ground in prospect. Maj. Uing- nam nas leased several acres ol the sand fiat just above Pearson's bridge, where as iood a play ground can be made as anybody need wish. Is it much of a stretch of the imagination to see the Btreet cars bringing Asheville's population to t'earson s bridge to witness our athletic sports, lootbnll games, dress drills and so on when the icy breath ol winter shall he reolaced bv the balmy breezes of spring ?
