The First Baptist Offers Aid. The First Baptist church desires to aid its poor who arc in need. J. L. Bre vard, Court Square; Rev. W. 1'. South ern, Melke house; and Rev. J. L. White, pastor, 79 Chestnut strett, are appoint ed a committee to distribute to such as may apply to either of these gentlemen who can be found at the places named. Mr. BIcKlislck's oner. Manager E. P. McKissick, of the Bat tery Park hotel, this morning informed the ladies of the Flower Mission that if they would send to the hotel he would give each day several baskets ol provis ions to be distributed as needed. To Scbool children's Parents Superintendent P. P. Claxton. of the city schools, asks The Citizen to say that if the parents of any of the school children have clothing that they would like to donate to the poor of the city, and will send it to the schools lv the pupils tomorrow morning, he will sec that it is given into the proper bands. Trades Committees Buicaested It has been suggested that the various trades, carpenters, masons, etc., appoint committees among themselves to ascer tain il there be any needy ones of the families they arc acquainted with, and report to. J. D. Brevard, chairman of the distribution committee, the idea is that ninnv families are in distress in Asheville now who never were before, and who consequently may feel a natural delicacy in making their wants known to comparative strangers. If these sub committees will go to work they can as certain all such cases in a clay or two POLICEMEN'S ARMS. A Kill Introduced In state I.eulHlature. Clucl ol Police McDowell received a few days ago from State Senator J. M Can. pbtll blanks to be used by the ofli cers of the city in petitioning the Legis lature with regard to the bill now be fore that body which, if passed, will compel all officers of the law to carry their arms in a belt worn on the outside of their uniforms, The chief procured the siguaturcs of every member of the force and those of Sheriff Brookshire and his deputies, in opposition to the bill, and sent the peti tions to Senator Campbell yesterday. Speaking of the bill the Chief said : " hy, if the bill becomes a law, and policemen have to wear their aims out side their clothing, about the first time they go into one of the tough resorts about town they will be disarmed, be cause of the exposure of their weapons, and will thus be placed at the mercv ol the men they go to arrest." W. H. Deaver, chief of the Piniou dc- tective agency, said : "Well, if such a bill passes, God will hold somebody responsible tor the death of many good officers, I hope the Legis lature in their zeal to stop the lawless from carrying concealed weapons, will not think for a moment of passing any bill that will p"t the officers of the State at the mercy of those lawless people who will carry pistols in the face of any law. Again, the criminal laws cannot be exe cuted, for at this time the officers of the State are depended upon in a great measure to ferret out crime. To do this they must do secret work, and to adver tise themselves by a placing a pistol you might sav, in their bands would cause the guilty to flee, and perhaps leave their pursurer a corpse. "You take Asheville, for instance, where we have a floating population an nually of 10,000, people from every country under the sun. As a matter of course many of them are criminal or bad people; and you put a policeman in uni- form alter them, and n w many would get away ? 'I do not lxhevc the legislators will Dass such a bill as is proposed, livery officer of the State ought to write their members their views on the matter and I dare say. there will not be a single one who would indorse it. Everybody can carry a pistol now, if he does notconceal it. provided lie can rebut the presump tion that he carries it concealed, nnd any bad man can do it. "Oh. well, so far as the Pinion detec tive officers are concerned, they are only an auxiliary to the State officers. While we are not peace omcers, we neip tnem and they help us. If this law passes, crime in North Carolina will be as com mon as it is in the mountains of Ken tucky." MOT OUT OF LUMP COAL. Mr. Collloa Hakes s (statement About tbe Matter. Geo. R. Collins, of tbe Asheville Ice and Coal company, requests The Citizen to sav -that his company's supply of lumo coal is not exhausted, as indicated by an article in Tub Citizen yesterday He saya the quantity of lump on hand is not great, and, where the consumers won 1.1 consent, they have been furnished domestic nut coal, this being done to the end that the supply of lump might last until the railroads brought a tresli wp- nlv from the mines. The statement was made yesterday after a talk with Mr. W est, at the up town office of the company, who was understood bv The Citizen to say that there was no lump coat on hand. but plen ty of the domestic nut, and the fact wna printed just as understood. uo 00 OO O0 50 OO 50 OO OO 50 Teacher.' Meeting; Postponed. Superintendent C. B. Way requests Tub Citizen to announce that the Bun combe Ciunty Teachers' association advertised to meet Saturday, January 21. is postponed until Saturday, rebrn arv 4th. The prospect for a continuation of the present unfavorable weather is tbe reason for postponing. The same program wdl be used. INAUGURATION EXERCISES UREAT DAV ANO A UREAT MIGHT AT RALEIGH, Cold Wealheri Unprecedented SSInce 1 857, Reported From All Paris or lue Mtate Klflv Per cent, of flie Bills Introduced Have Been Xabled. Ralkigh, N. C, Jan. 19. Special. The inauguration exercises yesterday were very interesting. The appropria tion of $500 was used to make this affair second to none ever held in the State.

Carr's inagiiral address followed. Last night there was was a reception at the same hall followed by a ball. D. C. Wad dell, jr., of Asheville, was one of the ball managers. From all sections of the State the mem bers are receiving the intelligence that the present cold weather is general and snow and ice plentiful even on the Atlan tic coast. This is generally agreed to be the coldest since January 17, 1857. The Neuse river is frozen over. Lieut. Gov. Doughton is here. Auditor Furman has moved his family to the capital city. Alaik L. Kecd, Capt. Matt Atkinson, Messrs. R. Pearson, T. W. Patton and C has. McNamee are here attending tbe Road Congress. Hon. Kope blias. lroni I-ranklin, is in the city. One hundred and forty-four bills and resolutions have been introduced in the Senate and about one-half as many more in the House. Of the bids introduced, at least 50 per cent, of them have been tabled. There may be three new counties in the State and changes ol three county seats, From Kichmond a new countv is to be formed with Laurensburg as the county ceat; one from Chatham, with Silver City as county seat; and another from Guildford, with High Point. The changes in the county linea and seals are to be lu Surry, the county seat changed from Dobson to Elkin; in Stokes, from Danbury to Madison; and in Rocking, bam, from Wentworth to Reedsville, These changes will place thecourt houses all on railroads. IK. F. 1. By Mr. Starncs, a bill to amend the charter of the charter of the town of West Asheville. By Mr. Cranor, a bill to prevent the sale or manufacture of pistols, etc., in this state, and to tax the same. Judi ciary. Mr. Vance of Buncombe has introduced a bill to authorize the commissioners of Buncombe county to erect suitable buildings for holding elections. By Mr. McKae ol Robeson, a bill pro viding for the payment of josticcs of the peace per diem. Finance. Thij provides tor the payment ot $2 per pay to magis trates in discharge of their duty as tax assessors on June 1 in each year. I .'Oder the call lor petitions, a memo rial from the Asheville Lyceum associa tion was presented in the House, pray ing that in future elections on the ques tion of license the vote of the county might be conjoined with that of tbe city of Asheville. Referred to the committee on propositions and grievances. Mr. McNeill s bill to prevent lynclungs provides that the Governor upon notice from, say the commisioncrs of a county, of the commission of some atrocious crime, shall have power to order to the particular county a Superior Court iudceatonce. empanncl a grand jury and have an immediate trial, and if the case be removed to another county to proceed thither at once and hear it. The idea is to prevent so frequent a resort to lynching in cases of great offences. AWFUL liAI.I.(IWS 8CENE. Electric Execution 'Would Have Prevented This Slicbt. Glasgow, Jan. 18. A horrible scene occurred today at the execution of Wm. Mcliwan for the murder of a woman at West Pollokshiel. McLwan, after com mitting the crime, attempted to commit suicide by cutting bis throat, but the doctors succeeded in saving him for the gallows, although his neck was left in a verv weak condition. The condemned man was given a drop of seven feet. He walked, without apparent fear, tothe gallows and tbe rope was ad- usted. When the bolt was drawn and the mnn fell his head was nearly torn off. The blood gushed out over his body and the gallows. Death was instanta neous. TI1K. ROAD CONGRESS. It Hake, a Good start lu Ralelxn Todav. Raleigh, Jan. 19. Special.
