TENTVILLE MUST MOVE ON THAT IS, A PORTION Ol- IT MUST DO SO. The Menagerie and "Hot Wluuj Factory Required to Go to Some Otber Place Thau Government Square What Two Boards Did, Every member of tlie Big Twelve was in his place yesterday afternoon when Mayor Wanton called the Joint Iloaril of Aldermen and Aihisors to order. Ex- Advisor J. A. Conant sat with the Hoard and apparently enjoyed the entertain mcnt immensely. Mr. Green reported that he had con suited Chairman J. E. Rankin of the Board of County Commissioners with regard to the building of a retaining wall at the eastern end of Smith's bridge, and that gentleman had prom ised to britiR the matter before his Hoard at the lanuarv meetinc. The committee on damages to the Sttaith property on I'atton avenue was Riven another week for report. Munt Complete Depot Street. Mr. Baird, for the Depot street com. mittec, appointed with regard to the releasing of the bondsmen ol A. M Smith, reported that the street was not completed. Then Mr. Gudger moved that the Asbeville Street Railway com pany be allowed to use the flat rail in stead of the "T." This carried, and the City Engineer was instructed to notify Contractor Smith to complete the paving and the railway company to put its line in proper condition within ten days. The Engineer was also instructed to notify Mr. Smith that the time for the completion of the work had cxnired and the Hoard would insist on a iorfciture if he docs not complete the work at once. Mr. Starncs moved that the street railway company be allowed to use flat rail on North Main street, stating that he preferred that kind and believed thev would be better to pave to. Mr. Wil liams offered an amendment allowing the company to use flat rails on all its lines, which was adopted. The bond of Edgar A. l'oe, jr., con tractor for the roof of the new pump house, was tendered, withT. I. I'erkinson as surety, but the Hoard, by vote, asked additional security. The size of the bond is $250. E. T. Belote informed the Board that the contract for the cement sidewalk had been completed, and the Street commit tee and City Engineer were instructed to inspect the work and report next Fri day. Talking About IIIIIh. While the Board was considering bills Mr. Waddell made a talk on what he ailed the Board's lax way of paying the bills, without first going through each one thorougly and verifying it. He re ferred to a resolution which provides that bills must be sent in before noon on Friday and then go through a com mittee's hands. Said he, "Wlusn yon shirk your duty you'd better get off the Board. You re not doing your duty now. I demand that you all stick to your resolution." A bill ot $100 lor retainer m a case brought against the city by Geo. U. Wood of New York was sent in by a New York legal firm, Lamb, Osborne & Petty. Mr. Baird remarked that "It's a big retainer for doing nothing, bv George," and the bill was ordered paid. A bill of $1186.45. presented by Com & Troy, for curbing, brought out the re mark irom Mr. McDowell that scarcely any of the curbing furnished was up to specifications. The bill was paid. lo the finance committee was icfcrrcd a bill of $15 from Chambers & Weaver, who sustained damage by having a horse fall into a ditch dug by Contractrr Kelly on South Main street some time ago. 1 hese bills were ordered paid : street pay roll, $807.87; O. S. Kellv company, car tank, $300; J. R. Oates, '$5; Webb & Oates, 17t.7; M. II. Kellv, $1, S5.80; H. M. Smith, $301.70; ' Webb, Oates, ICskridgc & Co., $3,770.33; F. N. Waddell, $11; l'cninman Bros., $85.1'0; , A. Murdoch, $12; Belote Bros., 1,01)5. It was decided that payment of the es timate of work on Buxton street bv A. M. Smith be withheld until Mr. Smith shall have filed his bond for the work. THE II. OF A. WlimleH" and Beara and HuaUt'H to Leave Teutvllle, When the Aldermen met Eng. 1). Car ter, cs(., representing S. A. McCanlcss, who ojierates a photograph gallery in Tcntvillc, pleaded the cause of his client, asking that he be allowed to remain there, as there was no evidence to show that the place was a nuisance. Mr. Car ter said his client had frequently been told by Dr. Criley, who lives just oppo site the tent, that it was not objectiona ble to him. Alderman Baird then stated that he had been told by Dr. Millard, who owns the house occupied by Dr. Criley, that the latter did not object to the tent because it made his rent cheaper. Dr. J. M. Broylcs offered testimony in behalf ol the tent, and Mr. Carter said it was not ns pretty as that "fine corrugated iron building put up by Capt. Johnston," but it was not, he thought.a nuisance. Then the Hoard voted on the question and Mr. Alclnmess was allowed to remain. The case of J. B. W'orsley, whose ag gregation of living wonders occupies a lent in icntviiic, next was cousiucrcu, Mr. Carter representing the museum proprietor. There was considerable dis cussion on this tent, evidence being given by Dr. D. T. Millard, N. A. Reynolds aud others. Mr. Keynoldssaid the tents were an eyesore, they raised the insur ance rate on adioimng buildings one- fourth of one per cent., and in justice to the people of the city, the Board ought to clear the Johnston square. Mr. Gud- ger made a very funny speech, and a few minutes later one not so funnv. but one of great weight, defining a public nuis ance. Mr. Gudgcr pronounced 'werncr- wurst winnyburst. Mr. starncs then moved that the museum be declared a nuisance. There was no second, but Mr. Waddell moved that everything in Tcntville, excepting the photogruphery and the latest addition, the corrugated iron building, be declared a nuisance and abated. This was curried, and the chief of police instructed to notify all inter ested to move within ten days, Mr, Worsley to have twenty days. The Street committee was instructed to repair the plank sidewalks on Oak, Charlotte and Chestnut streets. Will Go lo the Market. The Armour Backing company ques tion was called, and General Agent Je rome presented himself to hear what was wanted. The law regarding the sale of fresh meats outside the market was recited to him. A number of butch ers were standing near watching the proceedings intently. Mr. Jerome qui etly remarked. "Very well, we'll go into I'.ie market. Understand, gentlemen, we'd rather not; but the butchers force us to it." Then in another minute the Market committee was instructed to assign the new renters a stall, and the war between Armour and the butchers was on. E. C. Chambers aud Prof. I'. I'. Clax- ton spoke for a sidewalk for the school children on Bailey street, and were prom ised work on thnt street right away. Notes receivable for taxes were given W. C. Carmichael, $3 2.";L.Swicegood, $33; and bills were ordered paid as fol lows: C has. Waddell, tire alarm depart ment, $1G; sanitary department, $30; water department, $11.85; street de partment, $10.50; 1'itzpatrick Bros., $-'1.50. THF. FIGHT BEGINS JAN I When Armour Goes to the Market There Will be a Cut In Prices. S. S. Jerome of Kansas City, the gen eral agent of the Armour Packing com pnny, told Tin; Citizen yesterday that his company would greatly prefer to conduct the business outside the market, merely supplying the hotels of the city and dealers in the market. "But," he si'.id, "the butchers would not rest until we were forced to the market, and now we must go there." The stall which the Market' committee assigned to Mr. Jerome will be filled with Armour meats, supplied from the company's warehouse at the old depot. The market business will not be con ducted in the company's name, but by Samuel Powell of Atlanta, who will come here and be ready for business by the first of January. It is believed that the lorcing of the Ar mour business to the market will be the beginning of a cut in fresh meat prices that will end well, that remains to be seen. BlUIICD TWICLVF. FIRICMF.N.

The Price Paid Wan j, 500.000 For The Rlicht To Collect The Customs Keveuue The Truly Good Quay In The Deal. Nuw York, Dec. 17. A syndicate of American capitalists has acquired vir tual control of the Island of San Do mingo by purchase of the right to col lect the custom reyenues of the country which are principally derived from a to bacco monopoly. It is understood $3, 500,000 is agreed upon as the price. This scheme, in connection with which Postmaster Wanamaker and Senator (Juay are mentioned ns members, makes the holders practical rulers of the re public because they pay the officials. The concession will also give the United States a harbor and coaling station. PANAMA SCANDAL Several Arrests Made Excite ment Amouic the Deputies. Paris, Dec. 17, Charles De Lesscps and Marius Eticnne l'ontane and San Lcroy have been arrested for their al leged connection with the Pananra canal frauds. Hcnric Loqs Felix Cottcau has fled to Vienna. The news of the arrest of the Panama directors caused a sensation in the Chamber of Deputies and much excite ment in the lobbies. The police have been making a wholesale descent today, in search of documents and other evi dence for use in the prosecution of the Panama canal directors aud other ac cused. The charges against the officers of the company on which the summons were previously served, and on which they now have been arrested, arc that they have jointly made use ot the fraudulent imaginary credit; that they have dissi pated the capital entrusted to them for a specific purpose and they hnve twin died others out of part or all of their money through their influences. The offences come within reach of the seven articles of the penal code. Paris, Dee. 17. The coiisensusof opin ion here is that the determination of the government to clear away all the mys tery surrounding the affairs of the Pan ama canal is undoubtedly founded on a belief that in this course alone lies safety for itself and for the country. Any dis play of hesitancy now would be ruin ous, and their official lives deprnd on probing the affair to the bottom. TKOI UI.OI'S TIMES. South America Always Haviny; Political Cliaiiices.
