A Substitute Offered tor Mr. Wad dell's Ordlnance-Tbe Aul Over pay Clause Left Out It Waa a I. aw When Mayor Blautoii Did His Work. The board of aldermen held a lone, te dious session yesterday afternoon, begin ning at 4 o'clock and lasting until 7. The mayor's office was crowde-H with peopl: having business for the board. There' was a fall board preic.t, hud Mayer Blanton presided. Tbe Mayor as a Violator. Mr. Gudger, tor the finance committee, to whom Mr. Waddell's ordinance bad been referred two weeks ago, recom mended that the ordinance should not pass. He offered the following as a sub stitute : 'Thutthcchief of police.superintendeot ef the water works, sanitary inspector, supcrinten.lent of streets, and the tax collector, or a committee of the board acting for such, be required each to keep a book upon which shall be entered by items their receipts and disbursements. That the city clerk shall on or before the first meeting of the board of alder men in each month present to the board a statement of expenditures and receipts during the preceding month. "That he shall keep a book in wlrn.ii he shall enter all receipts reported to him by various superintendents and the ex penditures as ordered by the board and that he shall strike a balance in each monthly stntemciu between receipts and disbursements. That he shall enter in said book the debts and liabilities of the city as fol lows: First, the amount of bunds is sued, date of issue, when and where in terest is payable, and the amount due at' each installment ot interest. Second, the , amouni of any judgments against the city and to whom due. Third, the amount of each and every note, bond and obligation of the city endorsed and signed to whom due, when due and the amount ol the same. Fourth, the city clerk shall write upon and under the left margin ol every draft drawn by him on the city treasurer 'By order of the board of aldermen. "That the failure or neglect of any offi cer of tbe city to make his monthly re port to the city clerk on or before the first regular meeting of the board in each, month, .as now required by law, shall be good cause for lcmoval from office." Mr. Gudger said a good muny people had 'Ken talking about the clause in the original ordinance which provided that no check should be puid until it had been passed ou by the board. But, be said, that was already a law, and the code should not be tilled up with laws with regard to any sue matter. Mr. Waddell contended that the pro vision ot his ordinance, that a double entry set of books shall be kept, should stand. It was the only business way to do tbe city's work. The substitute was then placed on its hrst reading and pass ed, Messrs. Waddell and Slurues voting no. Tbe Board of Health. Taking up the matter of a city board of health, Mr. Starnes, for the commit tee appointed last week, submitted an ordinance creating a board of health, to consist of four practicing physicians and the city engineer, the physicians to be recomended bv the Buncombe ruedical society. The board is to have control ot all matters ofsanitation, and in the words of the ordinance, "tbe sanitory inspec tor may be discontinued at the recom mendation of the board." Mr. Starnes moved to put on first reuding. This was done and' the ordinance was adopt ed. A motion was then made to suspend the rules and put oa second reading. During the discussion that followed, Drs. G. W. Furefoy. U U. Mclirayer and H. B. Weaver spoke. Mr. Gudger made a lengthy talk on the subject, urging a fuller consideration of the mutter. The motion was put and lost. Mr. Brevard then moved the appointment of a com mittee to take the prosposed ordinance and compare it with the laws already in force. This carried, and Messrs.;Wad dell, Gudger and StarneBwcreappoiuled. O, Those Lights ! Mr. Brevard, for the light committee, recommended that the bill of the People's light, beat and power company, for lights during December, be paid. This " . ni t 1 1 J.,.,,. ..f... was done, ine mu was .w.- deductions for bad lights. Mr. Starnes moved that the company be iven two weeks in which to tile the bond it prom ised to give long ago, and if it tailed to do so, the city should proceed to look elsewhere for a light company. Mr. Gudger moved as an amendment that the matter of a bond be referred to the light committee, which should report nnd make a recommeudation ut next meeting. The motion as amended cur ried. All Street Talk. A petition from property owners on Hill and Buttrick streets was read. They asked that those streets be made fifty feet wide. The street committee was in structed to go over the streets, und have the city engineer to survey the same to whatever width the committee might deem best. Mr. Starnes, for the street committee, read the report of work done in putting down plank walks. The report was printed in The Citizen yesterday. The committee recommended that the work stop until work on the streets begun, when a lot of sidewalks would have to be torn up, which could be put down on other streets. Mr. Starnes reported on the matter of a rock wall near Bethel church. He said he would like to see the work done, but the street had never been accepted by the city and therefore nothing could be done. Boud Accepted. - The bond of J. E. Rankin as city treas urer, in the sum of $50,000, was ac cepted. The street committee was instructed to look into the matter of damages to Mrs. S. C. Wilson's property on Valley stieet. The matter of damages to the prop erty of J. G. Lindsey, on East street, was referred to Messrs. Brevard, Leon ard and Waddell, to report. Capt, C. M. McLoud, appearing for property owners on North Main street, made some suggestions as to the grade on that street. Un motion ot Mr. Starnes, the mayor, the board and city engineer were appointed a committee to go on the street Monday at 10 o'clock and see what steps should be taken. The New Bar. Mr. Starnes, for the committee ap pointed two weeks ago to inquire into the matter of the new bar on South Main street, reported that he had been advised by the city attorney that the board had no right to interfere after the license had bees granted by the county commissioners and the money tendered or paid for the license. Geo. F. Scott, for A. H. and C. E. Ly man, presented a bill for $1-5, pay for a cart said to have been used by the city for some time. The matter was relerred to the street committee, to report nt Tit mcvtir,j. '" Fire Extinguishers. II. C. Fagg, captain of the hose com pany, called the board's attention to the Miller fire extinguisher, praising it, and suggested a committee to look into the matter. A csmmittee consisting of Messrs. Brevard, Leonard and Waddell was appointed, to report at next meet ing. V. T. Belote, who has the contract for the cement floor work in the market house, proposed to discount his bid 5 percent, and the city engineer was in structed to establish the grade in the market house, so the work .may be pushed. On motion of Mr. Brevard, the water rents ol Mrs. Ilerrick, outside the city, were lowered to the old rate. Bills and Permits. The following bills were ordered paid: Dr. G. W. Furefoy, tor building rock wall, $('.8; W. G. McDowell, lor street juries, $90; insurance on city hall, $87.50; Biltmore Brick company. $591,73; J. H. Woody, repair work, $35. Building permits were granted P. C. Mclntire lot two houses ou Woodtin street. The board did not have time to con sider all the bills, so appointed Monday special bill day when an extra session is to be held, devoted to this business ex clusively. THE JOINT BOARD. It Will Have a Say in Pulling the Purse St.inifs. It is a notable fact that every member of the joint board of aldermen and ad visors was present at the meeting yes terday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Webb, Oates & Eskridge, and A. M. Smith, the contractors, said that they would soon be ready to give bond, which would be furnished through the Ameri can Cusualty company, of Baltimore, if agreeable. Messrs Waddell, Cummings and Conant were appointed to investi gate the company and report at the next meeting. Mayor Bui n ton said it wouhl be neces sary to allow the city clerk an assistant, now that there was so much more work soon to be done. After some dis cussion a committee consisting ot Messrs. Scott, Waddell and Hunt was appointed to investigate und recommend an assis tant tor the clerk. The assittaut's pay was fixed at $50 a month. Mr. Scott, for the committee, reported, in regard to the books for the city clerk, that a record book be kept by the sink ing fund commission in connection with the joint commission, and the book to be always open to public-inspection. "No bill or account will be paid until passed on bv the auditing committee of the joint board, with the signature of the chairman on the bill. All proposals and resolutions submitted to the joint board hereafter shall be in writing. On motion of Mr. Summcy the report was adopted. Sheriff D. L. Reynolds showed the board a sample ot brick made ut his plant near Asheville. He was about to make u deal with the brickcontractwrsto furnish the brick tor ull tbe street paving. If this is done, he says, he can keep many dollars in Buncombe county. Mr. Reynolds was informed that it mattered not where tbe bricks were made so they came up to the specitica' tions, and the board adjourned to meet again uext rnday at 3 p. m. TO THE MAYOR. Rather Unique Document Re, celved Bv Htm Yesterdav. Mayor Blanton gets all kinds of let ters, but he was considerably surprised yesterduy when he received the follow' inn: "Mr Charles Blanton you ar her by requsted to resinc your posisbunas mare of this toun, and do it at wunst Yours truly Here to stuy, The mayor has no idea where the let ter came Irom, but is not alraid ol W lute Caps or anything of the sort. Trying to Dc.tr be Asheville, From the Salisbury Herald. A certain gentleman who went up the Western road today got off a good one on the local man. On enquiry as to his destination, he spun out the following rhetorical gush : "I go upwards, where the eagle nests, where the deer lead her brockets along the crested hill sides, where the unknown denizens of the torcst hide securely from the sight of man. In brief, I am directing my steps to the land of the sky, where the picturesque peaks of the Blue Ridge range deign to kiss the lovely stars as they stoop from their lofty canopy of blue o'erhead." How much longer he rattled on in this maimer will never be told, as we made a hurried exit trom his locality. The R. & D. Fast Line. Prom the Salisbury Herald. Discontinuing the night trains on the Western road is a stab to the mailing fa cilities of Salisbury, Statcsville and Ashe ville. The people or more arc less indig nant over the matter.

DEMOCRATS OF LOUISIANA CONTENDING FACTIONS WILL, COME TOGETHER. Both Parties Will Submit Their Claims to Primaries, at Which the Regular Ticketiwill be Des ignated The Defeated .Ticket Will be Withdrawn. New Orleans, La., Feb. 15.

It has already been ac cepted and ratified by the McEnery fac tion but the Foster faction will not de clare its position upon it this afternoon. The agreement also provides for the selection of a state central committee to supercede the rival bodies now in exist ence. The conference committee met again today, and it is regarded as certain that the prooosition will be ratistied. The date of the primaries will be set far enough off to give both parties an opportunity to make a vigorous cam paign. . I NDEXED HERSELF. For Twenty Five Years a Woman Lives as a Man.
