The PropoHitlou Made for the Purchase of I lie city's HoudH Was Not Manufactory, aud tlie Aldermen preferred Not to Sell. An inch of a miss is said to be the same as a mile. And that's why Asheville did not come within a mile of selling her improvement bonds yesterday. The meeting ol the board of aldermen was fixed at 3 o'clock tor vestcrday af ternoon, the city council to be followed by a session of the joint boards. Mayor Blanton and Alderman Mc Dowell were the only persons on tii'.e. A half hour later, however, th ?c ; ere several additions to the crowd, and about i o'clock, when the board went into the transaction of business, there was a full board on hand, together wiih almost a room full of the most promi nent business men ot the city. There was little work for the aldermen to do. Some street matters aud bills were referred to the proper committees "with power to act." Some member ventured to remark that it would be bet ter to let the committee report to the board, but the mayor replied petulantly that there was no need of so much trouble, and 'power to act" went. The board elected A. 0. Henry to a position on the police force, to till Fa trolmau Goodluke's place and then ad join lieu. I'I.e Joint Hoards At It. Immediately upon the adjournment of the aldermen, the joint board of alder men and advisors was convened, The lull board, with the exception oi Advisor ilnnt was present. C. I-'. Street, representing Coffin & Stanton, New York, read the board the following proposition: "We desire to make you the following proposition lor the purchase of bonds ol the city of Asheville, We will purchase for the sum ol $",liu,U00 the following city bonds, $l(i(),00U paving bonds uiul $100,000 sewer bonds. "l'rovided, lirst. That you will pay us a commission ol 5 per cent, for placing said bonds. "Second, That yru will deliver $100, 000 ol said bonds at once, the proceeds to be placed to your credit at our hank in New York, the icinaiiiiiig bonds to be delivered to us in installments us tin work progresses and money is with drawn. "Third, That you will inter into a contract with us to do the sewer and water work, directly under your super vision, you to pay us a contractor's, prolit of 5 per cent, on the actual cost ol the work.. "Fourth, It is understood that the funds to your credit shall draw interest at the rate of live per cent, in yourlavo'. whilst the bonds draw interest at the same rate in our favor. "Fifth, It is understood that this is a proposition for the entire $'G0,IH)U ol bonds above referred to, and not lor any smaller portion thereof. "We are prepared to at once enter into a contract with you embracing all ol these points." When the proposition had been read Mr. Brevard moved its acceptance with regard to the sewer contract, as that portion of the proposition could be voted upon by the members ot the advisory committee. The motion was put and carried, by the following vote: Ayes Conant, Sum mer, Cuinmings, Hrevard, Leonard, Gudger, McDowell, Wuddell and Startles !1. Noes Uearden and Scott li. The announcement of the vote was received with considerable applause. Then on motion of Mr. Cuinniiiigs, the following committee was appointed to act with the city attorney iu drawing up a contract lor the sewer work, provided the aldermen in separate session accepted the proposition: Aldermen Waddcll, Brevard and (iudger; Advisors Cuin niiiigs, Scott and Conaut. But the Aldermen Kill It. Thejoint board then adjourned and the board of aldermen was re-convened, for the acceptance or rejection of the proposition, which Mr. Street said, would huve to be accepted or rejected as a whole. Mr. Brevard, to start the ball rolling made a motion lo accept the Collin & Stunton proposition, which was carried. Then Mr. Gudger made an argument against theacceptaiiccol the proposition. The hrin, he said was rated very high, it was true, aud there was little proba bility of it becoming financially embar rassed. The placing in any one institu tion of as large a sum as the one pro posed, without the very best security, was a responsibility that he did not wisn to assume, fie said he had spoken to Mr. Street about that Icature and he had utterly refused to oiler anv security. He was opposed to the proposition, but was as much in lavor of selling the bonds i.i any man, if the right kind of a sale could be made. (. li. Graham, who was in the aud ience, was called on for his view. He said lie heartily wished the bonds sold, but he considered the proposition an unbusinesslike aud unreasonable one. It he were on the board he would surely vote to reject the proposal. Robert M. Furman was called on, and favored the acceptance of the proposition, with slight alterations. Chas. T. Kawls, in response to a call, said that he would want additional se curity. If he should sell a man a horse, he shouldn't like to huve a mau keep both horse and money. As the proposi tion stood, he would oppose it, although he had worked hard for the ratification of the improvement uet. Messrs. Starncs and Brevard said that they had been iu favor of accepting the proposition until the question of se curity cume up. They wanted the city fully protected. W. B. Gwyn, Tims. A. Jonesnnd Thos. W. Branch each made short talks on the subject. Mr. Brunch created smiles when he suggested that "power to uct should be inserted somewhere in the proposition. When things had gone this far every body iu the house knew the trend ol things and were not surprised, when the motion was put to the board, to hear a unanimous no. That did the work, and the bejurd ad journed. Fifty pair boys' knee pants ut $t,00, worth $1.50 to $2.00 at the Whitloek Clothing House.

In the Courier Journal today Mr. Wattersou says: "The Courier Journal presentsits compliments to those of its estiemcd contemnor.i ries who have kindly interested them selves in its behalf with respect to the presidential candidacy of Gov.

TKli Itl'N tO.M IM IIS, Police Necessary to Keep the Crowd In any Order. llAi.TiMiiiu;, Jan. 30. The run on the Hopkins 1'lacc savings bank was contin ued yesterday. The police was necessary to keep in hue the depositors shoving and crowding and calling for then- money. The people withdrawing their deposits arc thriiLv foreigners and ne groes. Their ignorance, however, makes useless explanations ol the bank s solid condition, liven the object lesson ol u large table piled high with greenbacks uiukcs no impression, except apparently to excite greater eagerness to get "my money." Hull a dozen bank presidents called on thcotliecrs ol the Hopkin s i'lace bank aud tendered oilers ol unlimited amounts ol money il tlie bank needed it, but President Smith declined their oiler with thinks, saying they had plenty ol money lo pay all who called to draw.

The Stories Circulated In Wash ington This Morning to That Effect Were Fabrications Out of the Whole Cloth. Washington, an. 30. Secretary Blaine sent a cable message to Minister Egan this morning instructing him to inform the Chilian government that its proposi tion for settlement of the difference be tween the two governments made in response to the ultimatum of the 21st inst, are gratifying to the president of the United States as indicating a good prospect that the controversy can now be adjusted upon terms satisfactory to this government by the usual diplomatic methods. The telegram makes no request or sug gestion of any kind whatever for a salute by Chili to the American flag. There was nothing sad at yesterday 's cabinet meeting on this subject and there is no reason lo believe that this government will require such salute from Chili. It is very possible, however, that Chili may, oi lier own accord, perform this graceful ucl at the termination of the diplomatic adjustment ot alldillicullies, which is now iu progress. Specific inquiries as to the truth of the published slauments that Chili must salute our ling elicit positive and author itative denials ol the most sweeping character. No demand is made upon Chili lo salute the Hag, and the stories printed this morning as to the alleged proceedings in a cabinet meeting of yes terday 011 the whole subject of the Chilian a Hairs are pronounced to be absolute conjectures and inventions. A WELCOME NEW COM Lit. M. H. Stokes, of Philadelphia, Lo cates Iu Asheville. A gentleman has newly come to Ashe llc, as a resident and a citizen, whose business and personal qualities entitle him to the warmest welcome. This is M. S.

Mr. Stokes is now the president of the Hedge und Wire fence company, now be coming well and favorably known, and proposes to conduct the business ot that company with Asheville as the central point ol operations, and has already opened his otlice for the transaction of business. He is a new citizen whose acquisition is i.ordially to be welcomed and valued. th at ti km:r cam;. Two More Murders Added to the List Yesterday. Lonsvn.1.1:, Ky.,Jan. 30. Near Pine- ville, Ky., yesterday Bob Jones and Lee Davis, two prominent members of the Parton faction, were killed by Turner aud his men. Il is said that the men were waylaid. ones and Davis, the two murdered men, were known as tlie armed enemies ol Berry Turner.
