C THE BOARD STICKS TO IT AM) WHAT IT BAYS WILL, FOR AWHII.i:, There Is Some Talk of I'avlnif to I lie RallM ou South Main, but (lie Hoard Vote to Stand bvitH l linl Order YtIerUa'B YVork. A minute before the opening of tTie meetiiiBoftheloint Board of Aldermen ' and Advisors yesterday afternoon j Mayor IJIantou rapped for attention ami iMucccijvu li iuiinuisivi unuuiii ui office to Recorder F, M. Miller, who that moment became n full flexed memlnr ! r , ... j of the Advtsory committee, hvery member of the Joint Board was present, i The attendance of outsiders wjm small. One of the visitors was Poet Laureate Gwyn, the Sweet Singer of Sunset Moun tain. Mr. Gii'lgcr presented a petition from property owners along Montford avenue, asking that curbing and sidewalk be put down on the east side of thcavenue. The Board decided that the avenue should come next in order alter the completion of the curbing of streets already decided on. The committee appointrd to make a recommendation on the f per cent, re quest of W. G. Corpening & Son was not ready for report and was upon its request given another week. Given Damavcea. The consideration of the question of damages to the property of Frank Brown on Haywood street occupied considerable time. The street is to be widened a little at that point by taking a crook out of the side next Mr. Brown's property. Messrs. Green and Gudger, a committee, recommended that Mr. Bro'vn be paid $2u0 damages, that the Btreet be widened at that place, and the retaining wall rebuilt. Mr. Startles wanted the city engineer to examine nnd report as to whether ,1 new wall would be necessary, but a motion in accord with the committee's recommendation was made by Mr. Hunt, and prevailed: Ayes, limit, llenrdcn, Gudger, Green, Miller, Cummings; nays, Haird, McDow- II, atarnes, Leonard, Wutldcll. Mr. Ueardcn for the committee report d a lecommendaliini that I!. C. Trexlcr he allowed $100 damages sustained by reason ot the raising ol grade on South Main street. The report was adopted m motion of Mr. Hunt. The question whether tin- loint Board should issue the roles lor sidewalk pav- ug to li. T. & V. T. IJelotv was sprung bv J. H. Tucker, and was referred to the I'iiinnce committee. riint IS-IML'I IIUSlllt'HH. Mr. Stai nes started a large ball rolling when he rose and remarked that he wanted to enter a protest against the action of the Hoard in authorizing the contractors to leave an inipaved space ot eighteen inches on either aide of the street car track on South Main. And he made a motion in effect that the eon tractors be instructed to pave to the rails. Mr. Gudger sprang to bis feet as soon is Mr. Starues sat down, and proceeded to discuss railroads and newspapers. There were, he said, partisans on both sides of this question, rnd newspapers that would say: "II you win the suit, win it; but if vou don't win the su t, vou ire rascals." lie continued : "II we have the right to spend this money to nave hese eighteen inches, we have a right to pave between i he rails." And he pro ceeded to say thnt if he thought any member of the Board was undertaking to crush out theAshcville Street Railway company ( which nobody has yet charged ipenlyl he IMr. tiiidgcr) would he ishamed of him ( the aforesaid crushing member. I Mr. Gudger told in a tragic way how the people had conic up and said, "Mr. Gudger, here's our money for proper disposal. He avowed that it elt to his individual preference he would vote to relieve Col. Martin of the paving )l the eighteen inches. 1 he Improvement ict, he said, is an amendment to t lie itv's charter nnd an amendment to the Fannholt charter as well. Here Mr. Stanics put this question to Mr. Gudger : "Hut suppose a freshet comes and ruins our paving ?" "I am like Gen. Clingnian," he replied, sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Do your duty today and let to morrow take care of itself." Mr. Starues said that it remiircd a long time to jjet cases through the courts. 'We have to wait only the required thirty days," said Mr. Gudger; "then if the work is not done, we can do for the track on South Main what we did on l'ntton avenue and 1 will vote to do it in the face of all the decisions given." Mr. V-uinmiiigs saw the case as Mr. Gudger did. "We've commenced the light, said he, and if we nave the eighteen inches now, it will be a virtual surrender. The law provides that char ters may be amended bv the legislature. 1 his act is an amendment to Martin s charter and to the city charter, and Martin is hound by it." The speaker said the mortgage hooks show $000,000 in unsatisfied mortgages agaitist the Asheville Street Railway company, and said that tor the city to do the paving in question was to give away just so much money. "It would be better to stop the paving do none at all than to do it the way it is being done," was Mr. Williams' idea. Mr. Miller couldn't see w here the city was going to make am thing by the present style ol paving. Mr. Gudger kindly informed him that the city would get its streets paved. "Yes, nnd at your own expense, too," was Mr. Miller's re tort. R. P. Walker caught the Board's ear for a few minutes, and declared that the enforcement ol the lS-inch clause would result in driving the railways out 6f Asheville, to which Mr. Cummings rc plcd: "We'll have to do it, then, for we can oniv carry out the law." Mr. Waddcll, who up to this had kept still, said the manner in which the street was being paved was simply patchwork, and that every property owner had a perfect right to enjoin the city from lav ing another bit of pnving on South Main. Then Mr. Starnes, to whom it bad been explained that the case would come up in the Supreme court, November 3, and that the railway's thirty days would expire motion. His October 20, withdrew his second, however, would not consent. Then Mr. Gudger movid to lay Mr. Starnes' motion on the table, ! The following billa were ordered paid ; which motion carried: Ayes, McDowell, Street payroll, $21 CO; water depart Baird, Starnes, Beardcn, Gudger, Green, i raent, $30; sanitary pay roll, $17.08. Cummiuo; utivs, Leonard, Hunt, Miller, Willinn.s, Waddell. The city engineer was instructed to take such steps as mifrht be necessary to to protect the 18-inch paving, it being agreed among some of the Board mem bers that the lillitij; of the trench with saud would be all that is necessary. Want Yauderbllt Rrick. Mr. Waddell had a petition from fif teen property owners on Merrimnn a-'i'ue which sam incv were wtuinR to llavc that street paved with Yamlerbilt britk' .Two or three people along the ind his street, however, had not been seen Mr. Waddelt was allowed to kern petition tinotuer week.

TMI-: M'H'OUT OK 11. iU AI.inUOM .N AT WORK A Lively Kick AicalnM tbe Clli's Rock CruMlit r, In the meeting of the Board of Alder men Key. Iv. L. Stamey asked for a re taining wall on Blanton street, near Bethel chuic'i. The request was referred to the street committee. Mai. H. C. Hunt asked for some kind ol walk from South Main street to the graded school building on B iiley street. This was also given to the street com mittee. The committee on damages to the property of Mrs. Kednion on Senev street, reported against giving damages. Mr. Waddill made a minority repirt recommending the payment of $o0. The majority report was adopted and J. W. Summers, attorney lor Mrs. Rcdmon, gave notice of appeal. Judge 11. B. Carter called the Hoard's attention to damage suffered bv the property of Mrs. Howell by the widen ing ol Senev street. Referred to the com mitter that examined into the claim of Mrs. Kednion. A Kaln of Hlouetf. II. A. Lindsey made a protest against the daily blasting of rock bv the city in the duarry on the side ol the mountain above his house on College street. He brought with him a few samples of rocks that hadlallen in his yard recently. The Board discussed the idea of getting the rocks from some point on the dummy line, and making arrangements with that line for the transportation. The street committee was instructed to cou sult President Gwvn on the subject. The bill of Cobb ei Merrimon, "city attorneys," which was sent in some time ago and then withdrawn, was presented again. The items are: Salary January to July, $100; services in Cannon case, $115; preparing nnd having engraved bonds, $2o0; services in sale ol bonds and drawing contracts aid specifica tions, $200; cah advanced for ex press ..harges, $3 40; total. $580.10. The Hoard thought the bill all right, but as two or three of the items should be pro rated among the different funds the bill was sent back that it might be pro rated. It was decided that the grade in Iront of the Rawls property on College street should be left as it is at present. E. T. & V. T. Belote were given to December 1 to complete their sidewalk contract. No Chickens Need Apply. Mr. Starnes brought up the chicken question again. lie bad been informed by the Board of Health that the keeping of live chickens in the market was liable to bring on sickness. So he introduced an ordinance which says that it shall be unlawful for anyone to. take into the market for sale any live animal, bird or fowl. The penalty is $10. This was adopted, under suspension of the rules, and the chief of police was instructed to direct the marketmcn to build coops for their chickens outside of the market. The chief ol police was instrncted to see that there was some one in charge of the city scales at all hours of the day un til next Friday, when definite arrange ments arc to be made. To the light committee was referred a petition for a light at the corner of Woodlin and Spruce streets. Let All Your Mitt"" be BuruliiK" There was a little discussion on the tower question, in which Messrs. Gudger, McDowell and HIanton expressed them selves us against abolishing the, tower system. Mr. Waddcll said il the'towers were kept up there would some day be a disaster. He thought there should be some way of changing the carbons without the necessity of climbing to such a height. The arbitrators, A. T. Summey and J, C. Martin, of the W. 0. Wolle rent mat tcr, recommended the payment to Mr. Wolfe of $155, and this was ordered, the city's notes being giveti. The report of the jury on the extensioa of Grove street was read and rejected, hecause oi us irregularity. 1 he benelitt amounted to more than the damages. The bill of I, A. Tennent, for commis- j sion as superintendent of the city hall, was ordered paitl. The amount is $1,596.97. EVEN Til!! LADIES DRINK HTAKTLIKU ENGLISH ' i:xi'oti ki;s 'HIGH I.IFK."

ANTIMIGRAINE Has earned lor itself the enviable reputa tion of being the finest, most effective and reliable article in the market for the speedy relief and cure of every variety of that common trouble, headache. The immense favor which hut 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 does not depend upon the subtle influences of such poisonous drugs as Antipyrine, Morphine, Clilo rat and Cocaine, since it does not contain an atom ol either of these. It is absolutely free from injurious chemicals, and can be taken by young and old without fear of serious esults. It is not a Cathartic, does not disarrange the stomach, and contains no noxious or sickening ingrcdieuts. The peculiar advantages of Antimi graine consist in its being thoroughly reliable as a cure for any kind of head ache without re.iiKvt to enust leaving no unpleasant or annoying aftereffects, as in the ease of other so-rallcd "harm less" remedies. These qualities make it the most popular and saleable article in the market, wherever known. FOR SALE AT GRANT'S PHARMACY. T'T JONG Since juu looked over my stock ? What arc vou waiting Tor ?
