to the debeme. The replacing of the
track will hurt business on the avenue
and it will affect rents. The track should
be kept off the avenue for all time.
H. Redwood Car or no car, either is
agreeable to me, although I would a lit
tle rather not have the track there.
F. P. Mimoaugh Oh, it's too bad that
the should tear up and run cars again
over the one sreat business street of the
city. I certainly do oppose it. Some
inducement should be offered to get the
company to go over College street. If
nothing else. I would be one of a number
to subscribe to a fund, if anything of
that kind would persuade the company
to keep oft the avenue.
L. Blotnberg No, sir, 1 don't want
any street cars on Patton avenue again.
N. P. Chedester I am utterly and tee
totally opposed to the idea, tooth and
toenail. It will be detrimental to busi
ness here. It affects business unfavor
ably at least 10 per cent. I would not
have it put back for $1,000 if my paying
that would prevent it.
W. M. Clarke I would prefer to see
the car line on College street.
B. II. Cosby I don't want the car line
here again, but I don't see how I can
helo ravself.
Raysor & Smith It would be an ad
vantage to the city to have the line on
Patton avenue from the government
building west, but we would prefer to
have it run over College street, from the
postoffice to the square. Rather than
haye no line anywhere on Patton avenue
we would be glad to have the track
back in its old position.
W. B. Northup 1 rather favor it. I
don't think it will affect our business,
and to be deprived of a street car is a
srreat inconvenience to the people in
West End.
W. P. Blanton I would rather have
the cars kept off the avenue, but I guess
I can stand whatever the other fellows
stand.
Thad. W. Thrash Business is helped
by the car being off the avenue between
the postoffice and the square, because
people can drive down here without fear
of their horses being scared by the cars.
I am opposed to putting the track back,
John U. McDowell The avenue is too
narrow for a car line. But if it is put
back 1 don t suppose it will anect our
business much.
Heinitsh & Reagan The sentiment of
this hrtn is: we would ratner nave ttie
car line kept off this end of the avenue
Eugene Sawyer Don't want any more
cars on atton avenue.
F. E. Mitchell Consulting my person
al convenience, I prefer to have the car
line here, but for business and the good
of the street, I would rather not see the
line replaced.
S. D. I'elham If the cars could go any
other way it would please me better,
But I don't want to conflict with the
wishes of the people in the western part
of the city.
H. E. Fulenwider I see no reason why
the line could not be run over College
street. I would rather it were kept off
the avenue.
J. M. Alexander I am opposed to the
idea. The avenue is too narrow, and
the cars will scare manv horses that are
brought to me to have harness fitted on,
A. V. Jones & Co. We do not like the
idea of putting the track back in its old
place. It will hurt trade on the avenue.
T. W. Postell I am opposed to the
new move. The cars should run over
College street.

Everybody who know W. Kidgclcy
Penniman jr., (and who doesn't?) knows
that be just dotes on rabbits. He would
make friends any day with the most
forlorn specimen of rabbit imaginable,
but wlicn it comes to real fine thorough
bred rabbits, and he has a chance to fon
dle them, be is tickled almost beyond
belief.
Some time ago a friend who knew Mr.
Penniman's liking for what the South
erner calls "cottontails" sent him two
fine soecimens of genuine Hnglisb rab
bits, really beautuui ammais. 11 r. ren
niman at once set about properly caring
for them, and aent them to his father's
home west of the French Broad. There
a very expensive warren was built for
the rabbits. and Mr. Penniman began tell
ing bis friends of his handsome gift. Inci
dentally, 01 course, ne promised every
friend to whom be mentioned the matter
a pair of fine English rabbits. He kept
on tins wa? until ne naa promiscu no
less tban twenty-seven pairs 01 tue little
bunnies.'
Everything moved along; smoothly for
a wUile, and Mr. rcnniman was nappy
thinkinsr of his latest pets. But yester-
dav a cloud came over the sunshine of
his" dreams, and he sings no more. The
cause of it all was the receipt of a note
from his father which read something on
this order :
If you expect to furnish your friends
with rabbits, vou will have ta add to
vour stock in the warren. There does
not seem to be the diversity of sex nec
essary to insure an increase."
And Mr. Penniman, tbey say, will not
now ro near the market house, for fear
he will have to look a rabbit in the face.

The deepest snow Asheville has had

the day, but not enougn nas anen to

Washington, D.C., Jan. 12. Accord
ing to telegraphic advices received at the
weather bureau, the present storm
started in northern Montana Tuesday,
and came slowly eastward over the
middle Mississippi valley, where there
was but little fall, it centered last
night in West Virginia and gradually
took southeasterly and northeasterly
courses, spreading over North Carolina,
Maryland, District of Columbia, Penn
sylvania, New York and all of New Eng
land. There was yery little wind and
the thermometer did not fall greatly ex-
ceot in a few instances, but it will be
colder tomorrow all over the Middle At'
lantic and New Eneland states.
Officials of the weather bureau sav this
is the deepest snow that has fallen in the
sections indicated tor several years, ana
tbey anticipate much interruption ot rail
road traffic.
The snow is four inches deep east of
the Alleghanies from Maine to North
Carolina, and it will be six inches deep
by nightfall.

thermometer huzeine zero, and the
natural gas pressure down to nothing.
there came the startling report that the
main which leads into this field bad
burst from intense cold yesterday after
noon, and shut off the supply altogether,
thus leaving the inhabitants of this city
at the mercy of the frigid weather. The
suflerinir caused by this unexpected emer
crencv is indescribable as there is neither
wood nor coal in sufficient quantities to
be had in the city.
Trains Stalled In tne Snow.
Toledo, 0., Jan. 12. Trains on
twentv roads entering Toledo are de
layed from three to fifteen hours by
snow. The Toledo, Ann Arbor and
North Michigan train has been fast in
a snow bank north ot Corunna, for
twelve hours. The street car system
was demoralized last night, over one
hundred motors being out. The natural
gas supply is next to nothing,

The address ot the (Jr a rid Master was de

retary Donald W. Bain, which occurred

Berlin, Jan. 13. Chancellor von Ca-

appointed to consider the army bill and
made an important statement, letting
forth the necessities for the adoption ot
the bill without change or modification.
Referring to the relations existing be
tween Germany and Russia, the Chancel
lor declared there was no enmity between
Hmperor William and the Czar, and
neither was there any enmity between
the two governments. With regard to
the relations between France and Rus
sia, von Capri vi said that proDaDiy an
entente in regard to military arrange
ments existed between those two coun
tries. He then referred to the possibility
of an attack being made upon the na
tions composing the triple alliance,
Germany, Austria and Italy, and said
that if such an attack was mad the chief
onslaught of the attacking forces would
doubtless be directed against ucrmany,
as the strongest member of the alliance.
Experience had shown that when a war
was threatened it was best for Germany
to take the offensive.
