The Track Taken I n, In pursuance of the resolutions of the boards, Alderman btames was ap pointed to look after the tearing up of the track, while Advisor Cummings and Aldermen McDowell were instructed to contract with Webb, Ontcs, Hskridge & Co. for the paving. Word was passed to Dan Henderson, street superintendent, who at once set out to secure hands for the work. The paving men were also notified. No inti mation of the board's work was given any one. but at 12:30 this morning Hen derson's force of twenty men suddenly appeared on I'atton avenue, and build ing tires to enable them to sec how to work, began tearing up the rails at the crossing between the National bank and I'owell & Snider's. The work moved merrily on, and within less than an hour the rails had been removed between the square and llavwood street. The trol Icy wiic between these points next came down, and the wreck was complete. The pavers went to work at once nn prosecuted the work rapidly, completing it this afternoon. The workers attracted large crowds of people and the action of the board has been the universal topic of conversation todav. lust what steps the street railway company will take cannot be learned. President Martin is expected to arrive from Wrightsvillc this afternoon. INDIAN II A I.I. UiJIB. Two Thoiisund People ko Out to (tee It. Two thousand people went out yester day to sec real live Indians play ball, but their fun was spoiled bccatiscthegrounds were not policed. The spot selected lor the game was off Cumberland avenue on a splendid piece ot level running ground, the turf'short and clean. The crowd was too big for Governor Powell and his vol unteer aids to handle, however, and des pite their best efforts the throng broke. ran or surged all over the grounds, so that none but those in the immediate vicinity of the plnv nt the moment could get the most interesting features of the game. The Indians, old and young en tered into tue sport with great ardor, ami chased, caught, wrestled with ond threw each other in a way to threaten broken necks or limbs, verysuggestive of an Asheville-Iiinghani loot hall struggle, and some of the old fellows did the most nude work. The gnuic lasted only a short time because the stakes could not lie kent free and was won by cllow Hill. i l'I.I. TICKET. The Iiunconine prohlhltlonlatu Nominate One Today. W. II.

ANTIMIGRAINE las earned for itself the enviable reputa tion of being the finest, most effective and reliable article in the market for the peedy relief and cure of every variety of that common trouble, headache. The immense favor which has greeted it from all quarters proves its true merits and acceptability to the public. It is some thing which almost everyone needs, and those who have once tried it will never be without. For its curative powers it docs not depend upon the subtle influences of such poisonous drugs as Aiitipyrlne, Morphine, Chlo ral and Cocaine, since it docs not contain an atom ot cither of these. It is absolutely free from injurious chemicals, and can be taken by young and old without fear of serious results. It is not a Cathartic, does not disarrange the stomach, and contains no noxious or sickening ingredients. The peculiar advantages of Antimi graine consist in its being thoroughly reliable as a cure for any kind of head achewithout respect to cause leaving no unpleasant or annoying aftereffects, as in the case of other so-called "harm less" remedies. These qualities make it the most popular and saleable article in the market, wherever known. FOR SALE AT GRANT'S PHARMACY. A BIG REDUCTION.
