THE SHOE STORE, WEAVER & MYERS, 3D Cotton Avenue. Ahcvllle, N. C. TO REMOVE MORE TRACK tiuc JOINT DOAHP TIKKD WAITINO. Ho It instructs the City Street I'orce to IMcU up Three Hun dred l ed at a Tim or the ln! Ion Avenue Track unci I.iiv It Afclcle. The meetings of the Joint Hoard anil Hoard of Aldermen yesterday afternoon occupied only three hours. The attend- lints upon the mee'.iugs, in an ndicinl ca pacity, were Advisors Miller, Williams and IJuirdcu; Aldermen Wartdtll, Leon ard, Stnrrcs, Baird and McDowell. W. T. I'enniman asked for instructions about his work on Depot street. The granite pavinej had reached the track of the Ashevilic Street Railway company, and the work had heen stooped, as the track was not in the middle of the street. This brought out a discussion that involved the same old street rail way trotible that lias rankled in the Board's side for moons and moons. Mr Ctimtnitigs said that he was in favor of pitching the track out of the street. He moved that Contractor Smith excavate down to tub-grade, and when this is done the street force shall move the track to the middle of the street, up to n point near Bartlett street. Mr. Starncs asked if the city had a right to do this work for the company, to which Mr. Cummings replied that "the lionrd must take the bull by the horns. The ques tion was then on the adoption ol Mr. Cummings' motion. The vote stood ; Ayes, CumuiitiRS, Daird, Miller, Williutns. Leonard; nays, McDowell, Wadded, Starncs, licarden, which carried it Readluic Cleik Cumuiluirs. Mr. Cumminfis, who has really earned the title of reading clerk, read a letter from E. B. Welles, of the Southern Im provement company, asking that Depot street be reduced in width from sixty feet to fifty feet, between the freight de pot and the Glen Rock hotel. No action taken, Then Mr. Cummings read another pe tition, this one from Messrs. Thos. I). Johnston, J. 11. Carter. I.L.L. Single and J. B. Bostic, property owners on Palton avenue, asking that u concrete sidewalk be put down on the south side of Patten avenue from Church to Bailey. This was granted and the Hoard extended the present contract ol E. T. & V. T. Ilelote so as to include his work. Still another petition was put into Mr. Cummings' hands. This was from Mrs. C. McAfee, asking that a wall be built in front of her property on Spruce street, where the grade has been raised. No action. The regulation pavement fur sidewalk was changed from four inches of crushed stone, a coat of tar and two inches ol fine stone, to three inches, tar, and ore inch. May Chanice the tirade. The question of the grade on College street in Irout of the Rawls property was taken up again. It was stated that Mr. Rawls proposed to pav for the grad ing of the street and the lowering ol water pipes, as well as one-third of the cost of lowering a portion of the north east court place paving. Mr. Starncs moved that n committee of two Mom each Board be appointed to sec Mr. Rawls and get his proposition in writing. Mr. Cumiuings moved that the proposi tion be accepted and that Mr. Rawls be asked to file a written obligation with the clerk. Mr. Starncs withdrew his motion, and Mr. Cummings' motion was put to the house. It was lost : Ayes, Cummings, Miller, Williams, licar den ; nnvs, Baird, Starncs, Waddell, Mc Dowell, Leonard. Mr. Starues then re newed his motion and it was carried unauimously. Mayor Ulanton, how ever, forgot to appoint the committee. The city engineer was instructed to prepare an estimate of the cost ol a re taining wall in Iront of J. R. Uaird's house on South Main. On motion of Mr. Starncs it was or dered that proocrtv owners on llnvwood street who wish to pay cash for their sidewalk paving shall have City Engineer Lee make an estimate of the work mid pay the amount over to E. T. & V. T. Bclotc, the contractors. tioiiiK lo Pave Am how Mr. Williams moved that Webb, Gates & Eskridge X: Co., the brick pav iug contiactors, lie required to appear and show cause why they had not be gun woik on I'alton avenue, as ordered on last Friday. Mr. Starncs explained that the contractors could not go to worn because the street ear track was not in the middle of the street, and that as notice had been given the company to put the track in proper condition for lavi.ig it would be best to wait until the five days allowed for the beginning of the woik had expired. The time would be up, he said, Saturday, (today. I This brought Mr. Cummings up with" a resolution, whi. li read as follows : "Whereas, the Ashevilic Street Rail way company has been notified to move its car tracks to the center of the street and the same has not been done, and; "Whereas, The contractors are ready to pave ou Pattou avenue, but cannot do the same on aecountof the said street railway track not being in the center of the street, and; "Whereas, The said track is rotten and in such a condition that it cannot be either paved or removed; "Resolved, That the street hands be in structed to remove and take out of the street said track, the said hands remov ing from time to time not more than out) feet ot stud track." Mr. Leonard moved the adoption of the resolution, which motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes, Cum mings, McDowell, Waddell, Miller, Wil liams, Leonard; nays, Hand, Bcardcn, Starncs. As a sort of supplementary net to the foregoing, Mr. Waddell moved that if the contractors arc not paving on Moil day the contract will be taken from them. Carried. Want Ulllutore Urlck. Mr. Cummings read ouc mere petition, that of property owners on Mcrrimon avenue, requesting that that boulevard be paved with the Hiltniore brick. The petition was lefcrrcd to the joint street committee for a report next Friday. The chief ol police was instructed to notify the property owners on Mcrrimon avenue to put down sidewalks. A bill for $75.15 was presented to the Board as its share of paving the side walk alongside the Sondlcy building on Church street. The Board considered that it had ordered no wall; on Church street and rejected the bill, on motion o! Mr. Williams. The following bills were ordered paid . Kcllv & Strachan, $17.07; Govan Press ley, salary, $50; J. II. F. Smith, $.h7; oody & Kimherlv, repairs on pump, $2'.) oil; pay mil of rock crusher force. $1 0i), 75; street pay roll, $222 27. N. P. Corn's bill for work at the crusher was relerrcd to the finance committee, being considered rather exorbitant. Mr. Waddell moved that hereafter no lull shall he paid unless it is audited by the proper committee. This was not voted upon, however, as there is a simi lar order ou the books now, the practice ol having the bills audited simply having been direnrded since the retirement from the Hoard of Geo. F. Scott, chairnmi of the Advisory Hoard's finance committee. WITH tiik Ai.iu;kiii'.rs The Real l'.state Aiita;s' Tax t d ii cert I'roni 850 to 835. The Board of Aldermen held a nut:ng of about an hour's duration alter the Joint Hoard had concluded it session. W, H. Gwyn presented a petition asking that the tax ($501 oil real estate agents he abolished. The petition, which was a font long in preamble, was signed by J. B. Bostic, Gwvn iV West, Cortland Iiros., L. A. Fariiihoit, John Child, Natt Atkin son & Sons, Otis A. Miller and John M. Campbell. Mr. Gwyn argued his case shortly. Mr. liaird told Mr. Gwyn frankly that the Hoard taxed the agents because it reeded the money. Then Mr. Starues moved that the tax be reduced to $L'5, w hich carried. Mr. 15 iii d moved that the tax on lire insurance agents be increased to $-'5, but the motion was defeated. Greer et Johnson asked permission to erect a frame warehouse in rear of thfir North Main street store. Refused. The chairman ot the finance committee was instructed to consult Richmond Pearson, and if everything is found sat isfaeto'y the city will honor a draft for $571, interest due uctuber 1 mi the city's notes to Mr. Pearson, which notes have been transferred by M r. i'eai son without notice to the city. Marketiuan Reynolds, asked permission to take one of the refrigerators out ol his stalls In the market house. Referred to the market hotifc committee with power to act. W. R. Pounders rr quested a release from h.s bond, as he had sold out his business in the market liune. Granted. The chaii man of the street committee and 1 he cilv engineer were instructed to decide upon ti.e width of the sidewalk on the Haywood street side of the govern mi' 11 1 building. The work of putting down the approaches to the building is soon to be begun bv the contractor, A. M. Smith. D W. 1'iirman was given I he city's note, to he receivable tor taxes, tor a printing bid of $''o L5. Mr. adth 11 wanted tin ordinance re quiring property owners or residents to sweep oil' their sidewalks, that is, where the concrete walks have been put down. The ordinance, however, was not forth coming. Mr. Starues lor the commit tec recom mended that Mis. liowill be allowed $50 to wan! building a wall on her Seney street propcitv. alfectcd bv t lie w idening of the street. The report was adopted. Piilliam .V Kutlcdge were given the city's sixty-days note for $5 to, insur ance on the city hall. Notes receivable for taxes were given R. I Stokcley, $150; Dr. li. C. Starncs. $10.

The ollicial messenger publishes the first authorita tive verjaou of the Russian captuic of sealing vessels in the Pacific ocean. This paper declares that six vessels were seized at points eighteen or twenty miles distant from the Rus sian coast not trout thirty to toity ini'es. as litis been asserted. The cap tures were nearly till made outside ol the territorial water boundary. This is explained by the fact that the sealers, seeing the Russian cruisers approaching, lied, and the cruisers chased thcai some thing like an hour and a hali. Only the vessels, logs, charts, etc., bv which it was proved that they had 1 it 011 scaling in Russian waters, were seized. Three ot the vessels captured were re leased wish warning. The conduct ol the Russian officers was blameless. The liritish It ig was not m-tiltcd, it was only hauled down and replaced bv Rus sian colors after the vessels had been seized. The crew of the captured ves sels wcie well ticated, but when they lii-camc quarrelsome and insulting to the Kussb.n oliiccrs, order had to lie restored by force ol arms. The ollicial nicscnger says th it tile poor catch ol seals on Copper Island is due to the fact that the roekei its have been destroyed by scalers, especially English. Only One Accident at Kaleiith.

S.t.xin Mrsn, Oct. 20 If the other townships in Buncombe are as wide awake as Leicester and Sandy Mush, Cleveland and Crawford will carry the county by SOU. There was a great crowd at Leicester yesterday, the largest ever known. This was not so surprising as that is a strong Democratic township, but when I say that the crowd here today was larger than that at Leicester, it means some thing unusual is goiun on among the people. At Leicester 121 mounted mcu escorted Crawford into town. When he drove up to Saudv Mush church today 1,'J5 Democrats, as staunch and true as ever cast a ballot, were following him 011 horseback, niir? perhaps 75 on foot. At Leicester 11 mounted Republicans met Major Rollins. Today his crowd was increased, and 70 men, mounted and on foot, including hovs, followed him, Crawtord was introduced by Hon. J P. I.owery, and made ouc of the strongest speeches of hiscanvass. Crawford knows almost every man in this township, and every man and boy knows him. Thirteen years ago lie taught school here, and a number of young men who have just attained their majority, his former pupils, will cast a straight Democratic ballot on the Slh. Tonight we have to make a ten mile drive across Heaverdam mountain into Haywood. Wc will make the trip in a road wagon drawn bv two mules, with that staunch old Democrat and skilled teamster, John Ltisk, handling the lines. We will go up Sandy Mush in Buncombe to its souicc, and then go down Hcaver dani, in Haywood, to Pigeon. The mountains are gorgeous in their bri limit autumn colors. The man who fails to lie moved by the beauty of West ern North Carolina at this season, is without Iceling, taste or sentiment. The only thing that surpasses this loveliness is the enthusiasm ol the Democrats. J.P.K. MOT IKi I'OI.I TICS. Mr Itlalue Not at tho I)isoHu! ol the Republicans Ni:v Youk, Oct. 22. A story was published yesterday afternoon that James G. Blaine had placed himself at the disposal of the Republican national committee, and that he would make three spicchcs during the campaign. An Associated Press reporter culled Mr. Blaine's attention to the foregoing statement. Mr. Hlainesaid it wasabso bitely untrue, and that he had not placed himself at the disposal of the Republican national committic.
