ASHEVILLE DAILY CITIZEN Thb Daily Citizen, Democratic, is published every afternoon (except Sundajr) at the fol lowing rates strictly cash: Onb Ykar $6.00 Six Months 3.00 Turks Months 1.50 Onb Month QO onbWkbk 15 SATURDAY, JUNE 18. 1892 Mr. Frank O'Donnkll's letter resign iiig from the office of assistant tire chid is manly and shows a self-sacrificing spiiit that may well be emulated bv the firemen who have been declaring against Mr. O'Donnell. The proposition to use the uoithcrn doorway of the west side of the city hall as an entrance to an arcade, opening up to the public the market stalls on that side, is a good one. The plan should be carried out at once as a public convert ience. It is pretty generally a fact that the kind of men who drift into the third party and denounce the two old parties are such as never had any inductile or standing in politics and have ercilast ingly been alter some ollicc. : can spare 'cm. And now the third party men talk ot nominating ISluine for the presidency. We hope they will. It is high time lllnine got something, and as he lias been fed on shallows by the republicans tor twelve years, third party diet would be nothing new for him. Somi; persons of loose speech are talk ing of the Syracuse convention of Clevc land men as a "bolting" convention Seeing that the members of that con vention pledged themselves to vote for the Chicago nominee it is hard to see where the bolt comes in. J. C. Ukown, chairman of the third party meeting here Thursday, was a del egate to the democratic stateconvention and participated as approvingly in its decisions as any man there. Where, in decency add honor, docs he now find jus titication for going over to the third party ? As to that $5.10 bill of Mavor lllan- tou's, the people simply want an itemized statement, that is all. If Mayor UUur ton spent $10 per dav for thirty three days, and it was all directly for the city's benefit, the city ought to foot the bill If some of the $550 was for Mr. Lllanton only, let Mr, lllanton pay his share. It appears that there has already been some blundering in the matter of expending the city's money for improv ing the streets.and some of the work wil". have to be done over again, It would prob ably be money in tbt city's inside pocket to employ a competent man at a large salary to superintend this street improve ment. It is a kind of work requiring a technical education and wide experience. A bad start lias been made. IIknny Watterson ot the Louisville Courier Journal has been writing many burning words to prove how unwise it would be to nominate Mr. Cleveland, and the supposition lias been that at least the staff of the Courier Journal was wholly converted. But now along comes the C. J.'s Washington corres pondent and enthusiastically remarks that "the Cleveland movement at Chicago next week will assume the pro portions of a political cyclone." It has been supposed that the delega gation to Chicago was about evenly di vided as to Hill and Cleveland. The edi tor of the Yankin Valley News was "in structed by the Chicago Herald to sketch the North Carolina delegation to the national convention for its mammoth convention issue." The editor wrote to the delegates and their expressions as to presidential preferences he prints as being as follows: "As between Cleveland and Hill, Cleveland 18, Hill -i. Cleve land against the field 12. Hill against the field 1. Gorman 2. Western man 7." THE FIREMEN'S FdDI.E- The action of Mayor Blanton last night, in the appointment of the members of the new hose company, was not of that high and impartial nature that the public had a right to expect from the head of the city government. The ostensible aim of the board of al dermen in selecting a new fire chief and assistant yesterday was to restore har mony and insure the success of the fire men's tournament in July. Instead of acting as an impartial arbi ter between the two factions, Mayor lllanton represented only one of the par tics at the reorganization last night. Chief Powell recommended the ap pointment of 22 men, members ol the old company. Instead of appointing these, and adding to them 28 new names to make up the fifty as required by the ordinance, Mayor lllanton refused to act npon Chief Powell's suggestion, but appointed 50 men from one faction; and the result is, there is no more.it as much, harmony existing among the firemen to day as there was yesterday. If Mayor Blanton had appointed the 22 old and 28 new firemen there would have been no excuse for further bicker ing, and the city's executive would have shown himself to beabovefactionsandin favor of the best interests of the whole city. There is no question, however, about there being enough good material in the new company to make a first-class fire department, and it is to be hoped that matters will be straightened out and the tournament made a success notwith standing the one-sided and little action of the mayor. A Murderous Record. From the Charleston News and Courier. The killing of Alderman Gilreath, of Greenville, by J. M. Sullivan, adds an other to the rapidly lengthening roll of murders in our blood drenched state, and, according to the report, was committed without a shadow of justification. . . . We take for granted that Mr. Sulllvnn will be acquitted as hundreds of men in his position in the state have been ac- auitted before him, and as many men no oubt will be acquitted after him, this year and next and thereafter. The slaughter is going on steadily, and there appears to be little or no hope of stop ping it. IT COMES A LITTLE LATE MAYOR HI. AN TON KXI'I,4INR HIS MEW YORK TRIP. He Says 11 In ExpciiHVM Wcie S50, and Considering That If in Trip Resulted iu a 6o,ooo Male, He TlilokH the Hill should Be Paid. Mayor Blisuton, Aldermen Starncs, Leonard, Waddell, Baird and (iudgcr, and Advisors Scott, Bcardcn and Sum nicy attended the meeting of the joint board yesterday afternoon. Mr. Scott, for the committee that in spected the rock walls recently con structed 6n Patton avenue nnd North and South Main streets, recommended that the Patton avenue wall should be re built in part; that the wall on North Main should be "pointed up" with cement, both works to lie done at Contractor Britt's expense. The city should, in ti e committee's opinion, rebuild the wall on South Main, as the dan'agc there was due to no fault ot Air. ltntt. Chas. A. Webb, esq., iipnenrini! for the contractor, said that Mr. Brilt proposed to make the work acceptable to the citr at his own expense, although the work had Iktii done under the supervision of Citv r.iigincer Lee and an inspector Mr. Waddell said the com mi t tee had been surprised to find that the engineer and inspector had paid so little atten tion to the work. In Mr. Scott's opin ion, Mr. Lee was to blanicin the matter, but the blame should not lie too heavy because Mr. Lee had his hands full ol other work. Mr. Scott thought, how ever, Mr. Lee would learn a lesson from this experience. The report of the com iniltec was adopted. The street committee reported that no damage should be allowed Ulisha Kemp on south Main street. Adopted, no lice of appeal given. A Belated Statement. A bill was submitted showing that the street improvement fund was indebted to the general fund in the sum of $1,900, This bill included the cxikmiscs of Mayor Hlanton's trip to New York. The mayor made a statement of the account to the board. He said he had gone to New- York at the suggestion of the finance committee of the board of aldermen, iu an endeavor to dispose of the city s bonds just voted. lie sent thirty-three davs in Baltimore and New York, the most of the time in the latter citv. It had been incorrectly stated, he said, that he had only been gone three weeks. After he had been in New York perhaps tin davs he telegraphed City At torney Cobb that he did not consider it necessary to remain longer. Mr. Cobb had telegraphed him to wait awhile. About that time $120,000 worth nl bonds were placed in Mnj. Waddcll's hands for disposal at 95. Chas. McNa mce also went to New York to consult the Vanderbilts about the bonds, but failed to place them. The mayor said that while he did not sell the bonds on that trip, the sale was made by him, and his trip really amounted to a $04-0,000 transaction. His expenses were $550, and he thought the bill ought to lie paid, although it should be prorated among the different departments. On motion of Mr. Scott a committee, consisting of Messja. Scott, ilenrden, Waddell and Lcor.ard, was appointed to investigate the entire bill nnd report as early as possible. Utile Items. Advisor Suinmey was excused when the meeting was perhaps two-thirds over, leaving only two advisors present, but the board went ahead just the same. The city engineer was instructed to put the wall at Harriet Vernon's house, on Depot street in substantial condition; also to notify the mayor, in case another street inspector should be needed, and a special meeting should be called. The city clerk was instructed to pro cure all of the contracts for the grading and paving of the streets, and keep them in the proper place. A letter was read from II. S. Harkius, declining the position on the advisory board to which he was elected last Fri day. The election of a man to take the place was deferred a week. The joint street committee was in structed to notify President Martin, of the Ashcvillc street railway, to make the foundation of his paving between the rails conform exactly to that put down in the street proier, and if he fails to do so, to award the contract and have the cost of the work charged to Col. Mar tin's company. Mr. Scotttold the board thata Worth ington pump man was in the city, and he I Mr. Scott) would lje glad to see as many of the board as could eo up to the water works with the expert, and get all the light possible on the water question. The following bills were ordered paid: Carolina Coal Co., $22.50; H. H. Britt, retaining walls, $201.63; Kelly & Strachan, constructing sewers, $85.'!.0; A. M. Smith, paving, $2,265.50; II. M. Smith, culvert work. $864.02; W. G. Corpening, grading, $520.33; J. I). Hen derson, street pay roll, $30.50; J. R. Crcasnian, $7; A. P. Fort, $27. CITY FATHERS. The Aldermen Get Throuicb a Heap of Business. The board of aldermen held its regu lar weekly meeting upon the adjourn ment of the joint board. 12. P. McKissick presented a note made by the city to Col. Frank Coxe, and asked to be allowed to use it in settle ment of taxes. Mr. McKissick and Mayor Blanton laughingly assured the board that there) was no overpay in the matter, and the request was granted. Mr. Starnes, for the committee, read an ordinance prohibiting the selling of vegetables, except potators, within n half mile of the court house, outside of the market house. This ordinance to go into effect January 1, 1893. Another ordinance was also read, prohibiting the sale of fish, oysters and poultry, except poultry of seller's own raising, outfidc of the market house. This ordinance takes effect July 1, 1892. These ordi nances were passed on first reading. J. H. Merrimou and W. H. Malone, representing several butchers in the mur kct house, stated that the present ar rangement of the building was such as to throw all of the trade into the hands of a couple of firms. They wanted some kind of relief. The market bouse com mittee was instructed to investigate and report at next meeting. Exeunt, Chicken Tax ! Mr. Starnes moved that the city tax collector be instructed not to collect peddlers' tax from those who sell, to dealers in the city. Collector Reynolds gave the board some ideas on the ped dlers' tax, and advised them to abolish the tax altogether. Mr. Gudger de clared himself in favor of free trade in chickens. This created a stampede, and before a minute had elapsed the chicken, egg and butter tax had been abolished, on motion of Mr. Gudger, the motion made by Mr. Starnes being lost sight of. Dr. L. B. McBraver, of the health board, presented an ordinance, askiuc its passage, providing for the keeping of t correct list ot liirths and deaths in the citv. Under the ordinance the city clerk issues burial iiermits, and these onlv on death certificate of the at tending physi cian. The ordinance passed first reading. I lie citv clerk was instructed to pie- pare form of lease of si alls in the mar ket; anil the chief of police to have printed nnd posted the market rules. Two Hundred nnd Tlility! Mr. Starncs read a H'tition signed by ibotit 230 residents ot West l;ml, asking the board to allow the csUilili.-hiiicnt ol a market near the western end of Patton avenue. Action deferred until next Fri day. A. F. Morris was given permtsMoi: to peddle in the citv, license bee, on account of his being a crippled ex-conlalcratc soldier. On behalf of the street cninmiticc Mr. Starncs asked that he be allowed to put in another 20-inch drain pipe on Central avenue instead of the culvert, as was ordered last week. Granted. Mr. Gudgcr read a )clition signed by twelve renters of stalls iu the market, who said Market Keeicr I.vnch was in com)ctent and arbitral v, and asked his removal. Mr. Starncs read a second petition, with near twenty signers, in which it was declared that Lynch was as polite and accommodating as lie could be, nnd asking his retention in the office. The peculiar part of the affair was that the names of five or six of the firms were on both petitions ! Tabled. The finance committee was instructed to "Cttlc with the citv tax collector. A resolution authorizing the borrow ing of $20,000 was adopted. This was done as a mutter of form, as the board had pieviously voted to borrow the money. New I" re It rtartmeiit. Alderman Gudgcr lend to the board Frank O'Donncll's resignation of the oflice of assistant chief of the fire depart ment. He moved its acceptance, which was carried. Kx-Aldcrman K. L. Fitz patrick. am ember of thcjdcfunct hose company, seemed pleased, and remarked that "O'Donnell got his Irish up right this time." This resignation left the offices of chief and assistant chief vacant. They did not remain so long, however. Mr. Starncs nominated for fire chief Geo. S. Powell, and Mr. Gudgcr nominated . L. Murray. Mr. Powell was elected. Then Mr. Starncs nominated Lawrence P. MeCloud for assistant chief and Mr. Leonard nominated W. A. Boyce. Mc Loud was elected. The whole business was done in less than five minutes, nnd Mayor Blanton gave notice of a meeting to organize a new hose company at 9 p.m. The Mav bill of the People's Light, heat and power company, for $100, for citv lighting, was reported on by the light committee, deducting $111.12 for bad lights. Permits and mils The following building permits were granted: J. B. Bostic, addition to house on Chestnut street; T. K. Davis, two houses on Short street; J. A. Tenncnt, three-story building on soiithcourt place, and to add another storv to th- Legal block. The following bills were ordered paid : J. A. Tenneut, city hall, $301.08; South ern plaster Co., $265; water department, $23.47; C. D. Blanton & Co., uniforms for firemen, $29-1.50; satnitnry depart ment, $51.50; street department, $99.75. NEW YORK THREATS. Grover Cleveland Cannot I.ose New York Slate. From the Detroit Free Tress. We have heard a good ileal in times past of the threats as to what a faction in New York will do if a nomination is made to which it objects. The threat was made in 1808 when Horatio Sey mour was nominated. It was confi dently declared that he could not carry New York. But he did carry New York, the true hearted democracy of that state being better than some of their leaders represented them. The threat was again made in 1876, when a sell'-clcctcd com mittee went to St Louis for the express purpose of assuring the several state delegations who were anxious to nomi nate that exalted leader, Samuel J. Tildcn, that he could not carry his own state. But Mr. Tilden was nominated and did carry his own state. In view of these facts, instead of accepting the statement that Mr. Cleveland cannot, if nominated, carry New York we feel justified in adopt ing the declaration of the New York Times that "he cannot lose New York." Who is going to bolt the nomination? Powerful St ran ice 11 In. From the New York Sun. Women who would shrink with horror from exposing their legs in a ballroom think nothing of wearing low-ncckcd dresses there, while at the sea bench they will show their legs and hide their busts.
