Sold?
Yes, indeed!
That's what's the matter with Ashe

Three hundred and forty-three thou
sand dollars' worth of Asheville's im
provement bonds have been sold.
The thing is settled beyond a doubt.
The board of uldermen settled the mat
ter yesterday alternoon at its regular
weekly meeting.l
The Hoard Meets.
There was a fair sprinkling of visitors
in the mayor's office at 4 o'clock yester
day afternoon, the appointed hour, but
Mayor Blanton and Alderman Staraes
were the only officit.lt present.
The mayor announced that the meet
ing would be a little late in starting up,
bnt as the weather outside was a little
raw, and the fir ia the office was good
and warm, he cordially invited all pres
ent to stay there until the meeting should
assemble.
This invitation was accepted, and for
an hour the crowd enjoyed adissertation
by the mayor upon the merits of Sena
tor Hill, who, he declared, was the great
est man on earth. This was disputed
by some, and the discussion was warm.
The mavor also related some rich old
jokes, of the vintage of the year 1,000
was ready to go to work with a large
force next Monday morning if so in
structed.
The Leg-al Bide.
Mr, Marston, who consummated the
trade for the bonds, tells Thb Citizen
that when hit firm began considering
the matter of taking the bonds, they em
ployed Judge Dillon, the leading living
authority on "municipal corporations"
and "municipal bonds" to look into
the improvement act in every detail.
Judge Dillon did this and when" he had
completed his work be unhesitatingly
advised the nrm that tne Donas were an
right.
now si is neceireu'
The news of the sale of the bonds is in
everybody's month today. There is
tome objection, of course, but the large
majority of the people are pleased over
the sale, and commend the action of
the board of aldermen in the matter.
Alderman Waddelts orditance regula
ting the paying out of the city's money,
was not passed at yesterday's session ot
the board. It shou 'd be before one dol
lar of the money realized on the bonds

While the discussion was at its height,
lac heavy aldermumc tread was heard
on the stairs, and a moment later the
board, excepting Mr. McDowell, en'
tered The members were seated, and
Mayor Blanton called the board to or
der.
A Proposition
As soon as matters had quieted down,
Capt. Melviu H. Carter arose and sub
muted a proposition, in the shape of an
ordinance, which he read. It was type'
writleu, and covered three pages. The
proportion was made by Blair & Co.
New Vork, through their representative,
b. S. Marston, and was substantially an
offer for the following bonds
1 wo buudred thousand dollars worth
of the street improvement bonds;
One hundred thousand dollars worth
of the sewer bonds;
Twenty-live thousand dollars worth
of school bonds;
bightecn thousand dollars worth 01
murkel house bonds.
For these bonds Blair & Co. offered
pur, less a commission ot ten per cent
lor the placing ol them.
They also wunted an option on any
further sale of bonds that might take
place within the ensuing twelve months
1 be bonds are to be mauc payable in
gold on maturity.
t Passes.
After the reading of the paper Mr.
Waddell moved the adoption ot the ordi
nance and proposition, seconded by Mr.
Brevard. It was placed en its first
reading, and passed by a unanimous
vote. Then on a suspension of the rules
it was placed on second and third read
ings and adopted without a dissenting
vote.
Mr. Waddell was then appointed a
special co'imiittee to see that the finan
cial papers in the matter were properly
drawn.
A motion prevailed to notify the con
tractors for the street work to execute
their contracts and prepare to go to
work.
It Is Done.
As soon as this business had been con
cluded, Mayor Blanton signed the con
tract for the sale of the bonds. City
Clerk Young then countersigned it and
affixed the corporation seal, and the
trade was closed.
A little later Mr. Morston made a
draft lor the amount. This was deposited
with thecity treasurer, . b. Kankin,
and today the draft and bonds were sent
to New Vork. The cash will be here
early next week, and will be deposited in
the various banks ot tne city.
other Business.
The board seemed disinclined to at
tend to small matters, and the following
two items comprise all the work outside
of the bond sale:
On motion of Mr. Starnes, the board
decided that it would not recognize any
fire companies other than the two now
in active existence.
Maj. W. E. Breeae was given permis
sion to put in a water pipe from the
First National bank to the main on Ea
gle street, advancing the money for the
work, amounting to about $100.
The board did not receive the report of
of thefinancecommitteeonMr. Waddell s
resolution introduced at the last meet
ing.
What It Will Do.
Now that the bonds have been sold,
it is interesting to review the work that
is now in contemplation.
North Main street, from the Farmers
warehouse to Chestnut, is to be paved
with brick and made 45 feet wide.
South Main street from tbeSwannanoa
hotel to the city limits, is to be paved
with brick and made 50 leet wide.
Patton avenue trom Court place to
Woodcock a drug store is to be paved
with brick.
Deoot street, from Patton avenue to
the passenger depot, is to be paved with

A new graded scnooi Duuaing is to oe
erected.
The sewer work is to be earned on as
the oavine nrocrresses.
The new city hall ana marxet nouse,
the finest building of the kind in the
state, which now remains in an unfin
ished condition, will be pushed to an
early completion.
Tne Contracts.
W. G. Corpening has the contract for
all the excavations on the streets. A.
M. Smith has the granite contract, and
Webb, Oates & Eskndge the contract
for the brick paving.
The bids put in by these firms arc re
garded at very good ones for the city.
but an agreement has been signed by the
contractors that they will discouut all
their bids five per cent.
The entire work contracted for
about $175,000 worth.
Mr. Corpening hat had a number of
hands and teams here for tome time. He

Six Men Drowned by High Tide
In the Baltic.
Berlin, Feb. 13. A dispatch recived
from Konigsberg, East Prussia, reports
peculiar and fatal accident that oc
curred near that place. The govern
ment of Konigsberg is bounded on the
north by the Baltic and along the shores
of the sea is obtained a large.proportioa
of the world's supply of amber. This
substance is there partly cast up by the
sea, and partly obtained by means of
nets, and partly dug out of a bed of
bituminous wood.
Last night an exceedingly heavy sea
was running in the Baltic, and high
waves swept far inland past their usual
bounds. Close to the shore near Palm-
nicken, a small fishing town, is an
amber mine in which a number of men
were working. They of course had ao
knowledge ol the lact that a rising tide
was brirgiug heavy seas in dangerous
proximity to the enlrance to the mine;
in fact, such condition of affairs was
never dreamed ot. Suddenly the water
began to pour into the mine in a perfect
torrent and begun to fill the small work
ings. The men made a wild rush to es
cape but six of them found it impossible
to breast the torrent in which they were
engulfed and were drowned.

Christian association, left this morning
for Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Andersen will be
one of the secretaries of the international
committee of the Young Men's Christian
association, and will sustain an advisory
and supervisory relation to the Young
Men's Christian associations of Georgia
during the next three months, with
headquarters in Atlanta, Ga.
Mr, Andersen was born in Svancke, on
the island of Brenbolm, belunging to
Denmark, in the year 1862. At the age
of six years he came to this country
with his parents, who settled in the town
of St. Johnsbury, Yt., where his boyhood
and youth were spent.
In 1880 and 1881 Mr. Andersen work
ed as office boy and bookkeeper for the
scale manufacturing farm ot b. & T..
Fairbanks ifc Co. lie entered Dart
mouth College in 1882, paying his way
through by leacbiug school in the win
ter, conducting a newspaper agency,
and working as assistant college librarian.
Mr. Andersen was graduated in 1886,
and was immediately thereafter called
to be secretary of the Young Men's insti
tute, in the Bowery ol New York city.
This work is a branch of the Young
Men's Christian association, to reach
the mechanics living in the tenement
houses on the east side of New York city.
Alter three years ot successlul work he
broke down in health trom overwork,
and in the summer ol 1880 took a rest
ol six months, including a walking trip
through Uermauy and Switzerland.
In 1880, Mr. Andersen came to Ashe
ville, and at once organized the Young
Men's Christian association, lie has
been the general secretary ol the associa
tion ever since that tune until a tew
months ago, when he decided to accept
his new position.
oucb, in bnel, is the lite bistory of Mr.
Andersen. The real good, however, of
his life, the noble work he has done, can
not easily be told in cold type, lie is a
young man, with the strongest devotion
to duty, and a soul and body full of
energy, tie lias stayed here long enough
to see the once litttle association grow
to handsome proportions and doing ad
mirable work lor the moral betterment of
the young men ot Asheville. Much of
this success is due to Mr. Andersen, who
has been constant in his work, everevolv-
ing some new plan for the furthering of
tne good worn 01 tne association.
Mr. Andersen has also been active in
church and Sunday school work, and
the First Presbyterian church, in his de
parture, loses one ot its best working
members.
In leaving Asheville, Mr. Andersen car
ries with him the sincerest good wishes
of bis hundreds ot triends. He is com
mended to the people of his new home as
an exemplary man, and one always to be
relied upon.
