For tbe benefit of those who could not understand why College street, between North Main and Oak, was omitted from the report of the Joint Board committee. published in Tub Citizen yesterday, it may be stated that that portion of the street has Tirtaally been contracted for, to be pa-rcd with brick. When the con tracts for North Main, South Main and Patton arentie were riven to Webb. Oates, Eakridge & Co. the paving be tween tbe car tracks was included. Later, Col. Martin, who ' was then in charge of the Asbevillc street railway, expressed a desire to let the contract for paving between the rails, and this much of the work was taken from the contractors, with tbe promise that they would be given an equal amount of work on College street. This, it is thought, will run the brick paving to Oak street. Alderman Starnes and Advisor Bear- den will submit a rninorii.7 report to the Joint Board tomorrow, recommending that wncstnut street be macadamized. nstead of paved with brick as suggested in the report published yesterday. Mr. starnes savs ne tmnas ne snail also rec ommend that macadam be used on Cen tral avenue instead of the rubble paving. He says, further, that when' tbe macad amizing reaches Starnes avenue, the prop- perty owners tnere will petition tor a 12 foot sidewalk on either side of the avenue, four teet of each walk to be taken up by grass and a row of shade trees. Mr. Starnes, Has siven tbe Citizen some figures on the work conten. plated by tbe committee, wbicb are of espec ial interest - in view of the fact that many do not believe the work can be done ' within the appropriation. The estimates arc based upon figures from the city engineers' office. The approxi mate cost of the work recommended will be : Haywood street $ 28,550 Montford avenue 13,900 Total cost of rubble work (Central avenue excluded ) 83,000 Cost of macadam (Chestnut street and Ceutral avenue included) 36.650 Church street 3,500 Grading 3,000 Total $169,100 To clear up tbe work now contracted (or will cost : Patton avenue. $ 6.000 North Main 20.00U College (North Main to Oaa 1 1 3,oo Depot and Buxton 11,000 Grading 50 Total... $55,600 The cash now on hand to tbe credit of tbe improvement fuml is $83,27 8.88. The deduction of the amount of existing contracts from this leaves a balance ol $37,788.88. It the bonds unsold should be disposed of at 90 cents this would give $180,000, which, added to tbe balance above, foots up $217,778 88. Subtract irom tbis the approximated cost of new work, and there leraains a balance ol $48,678.88. Mr. Starnes favors tbe changing ot the character of material on Haywood street and Montford avenue from brick to rubble, which would make the cost $9,372 less than estimated above. This amount added to tbe balance would make the amount left after the comple tion of the new work $580,05.88. From this amount. Mr. Starnes says, if tbe Legislature so declares, may be taken the $30,000 desired for tbe extension oi the water and sewer system. DE LESS EPS TO BE JAILED GREAT SENSATION FRANCE TODAY.

THE MBW YORK STARS. Concert at the Orand Opera House lUast Evenlns. The New York Stars gave a concert to one of the most fashionable audiences of the season at the Grand opera house last evening. The company is well named, for each member is a star in his or her line of work, and the audience gave every evidence of its appreciation, Miss Drescher, the violinist, was on the program for two numbers, but each time she was compelled to respond to recall. As an encore she rendered 'Swanee River," which was. if possible. more enthusiastically received than either of tbe other rendition". Miss Drescher's execution was brilliant and masterful. Every tone of the instrument was per fect. In her hands the violin was a thing of life, and tbe bow a magician's wand. Her playing was a marvel of sweetness of expression, and has rarely, if ever. been exceeded by an artist in Asbeville. No less emovable was tbe cornet play ine of W. Scott Hey wood. He was en cored again and again, and delighted the crowd with several popular selec tions. Dewey Haywood, with the flute, ren dered several selections in a manner that gave evidence of his great ability the flute in his hands did almost everything but talk. Of course be was recalled scv eral times. When be and Scott Hev wood olaved "Dixie" the audience fairly shook tbe bouswitn tbeir applauding, The imoersonations by S. Homer Ea ton were very pleasing. As "Josiah Al len's Wife" and "Widder Green" be made the audience laugh until it almost cried, The accompaniments during tbe even ing were played by Chas. H. Mills, the Diantst ot tne company. sm . .

Everyone went away more than pleased with the entertain ment. To Prof. T. J. P. Peacock of Asbeville belongs the ct edit of bringing the Stars to tbis city and Asbeville surely appre ciates bis efforts. The Stars have agreed with Prof. Pea. cock to till a return engagement Here Amu or May, if tbe music lovers of Asbe ville desire it. If they come back, a full house seems almost as sored. On their return they will be accompanied by Miss Ida Klein, who is considered tbe best singer on tbe American concert stage todav. Mr. .tvaton announced last evening tnat on Aoril 3rd Asbeville would have an opportunity of hearing Miss Neally Ste vens, who he said, was "tbe most noted lady pianist of the day," in a subscrip tion concert, under Prof. Peacock's man agemcnt. leal. A Guilt- Bass! Boston, Feb. 9. The jury in tbe case of Asa P. Potter, . ex-President of tbe bankrupt Maverick bank, charged with tbe false certification of checks, this morn ing rendered a verdict of guilty A LITTLE I'KOTECTORATE MINISTER STEVENS l.al'AU- LIBBES ONE OVER HtWAIT, rait For jsutborttv oo ernsneui, lint Stars and Stripes THINKS THEY'RE JOKIMG, cltlxen' Criticises the Joint Committee's Report. Editor The Citizen: That wondcrlul report of the committee appointed to recommend what streets shall be paved is befoie the public for criticism. It is certainly a most remarkable document. For instance, allow me to call attention to some streets that have been conspicu ously omitted : rirst. Merrrmoa avenue, trom liroaa street northwards; second, Pine street; third. East street, along which a rail road is in operation; fourth, South French Broad avenue beyond Phillips street; fifth, Phillips street. Now tbe worst part ot Aierrimon ave nue for mud is that part between Broad and Hillside streets. No argument is necessary beyond a statement of this fact. Pine street is an important one for driving, pays a pretty large tax, and yet not even macadam is proposed. East street is narrow, is split in two b-a railroad, and bas a large travel over it. South French Broad and Phillips have been simply butchered by the West Asbe ville and Sulphur springs railway, ana yet it is seriously proposed to leave them forever as tbey are. Grove street is one of the best in tl.e city, pays a huge tax. is closely built up, and has never bd any improvement except a little board walk It snouia DC navea in tne ucsi. manner with brick. But the most remarkable thing about the reports, that sober city officers ap pointed as a committee to decide on such important matters, should indulge in mere jokes, witnout expiainiK inai tncy meant it as a iokc. When 1 first read it. I took it in earnest, but soon saw the humor of tbe thing, for I knew that no- bod v could seriously propose to pave that lane called Atkin street, that starts from South Main street down the hill, takes runnine go" and mmps tbe branch, and then brings up with a bump into tbe side of tbe mountain, along side of three or four houses belonging to Advisor 11 ant. To grade and widen tbat lane, and Duiia the bridge or culvert required, would cost nearly as much as tbe rubble pavement. Tne otner joke was to pave linage street, reebnstened "Central avenue," with rock, and then come to tbe square through town, over macadam and mud, along Spruce street, where property is worth twice as mucn as ever uriagc street will be, or over Woodfan, in the same category with Spruce. I don t tnink tue committee ougnt to joke this way, without explaining them selves. . Bv the wav. doesn't it look a little queer to you, for an outgoing board to predetermine on such a large scale what their sucesaors shall do? Are some of them afraid that the streets tbey live on won't get proper attention unless tbey deride the matter now ? Some may think this board can not bind tbeir successors in such a way, but von iust wait 'See if the next move won t be to ice an tnese sivccia io con tract, and then watch the favored ones holding contracts bob up and threaten future boards with "the law." if they attempt to interfere with their dear rights.

He Did Mot i From bls Hoisted tbe Febrnarv x. San Francisco, Feb. 9. The most important news brought by the steam ship Australia, which arrived from Hon olulu last night, is that the United States Minister Stevens has established a protectorate over the Islands. Tbe act was formally acknowledged at 9 o'clock on the morning of the 1st instant, when the stars and stripes were raised over Alinslani hall and Minister Stevens issued the following proclamation : 'To the Hawaiian People: 'At tbe request ot the provisional gov ernment of the Hawaiian Islands I hereby, in tbe name of the United States of America, assume protection of the Hawaiian Islands for the protection of life and property and the occupation of public buildings on Hawaiian soil as far as may be necessary for the purpose specified, but not interfering with the administration of public affairs by the provisional government. This action is taken pending, and subject to, negotia tions at Washington." Tbis was signed: lolm ,. Stevens, Envoy Extraordinary Minister Plenipo tentiary of the United States legation. Approved and executed by C. C. Wiltsc. captain United States navy, command ing U. 5. steamship Boston." Tbe Advertiser savs regarding Stevens' proclamation, that tbe act was princi pally due to incessant agitation on tue part of certain whites who have always been the curse of the country, coupled with English and native newspapers' efforts to discredit and block the new government. These agencies spread through tbe town a leeling ot uneasiness and distrust. The Provisional govern ment conclude 1 tbat some positive step was necessary and it would be the wisest to call on the United States for direct assistance. The Ad vertiser, con tinuing says: "At 8: 30 a. m. on the 1st, tbe Boston s battalion landed under Lient. -Commander Swinburn and went up to tbe government building, where detachments from volunteer companies of tbe provisional government were also drawn up. Tuieut. Rush read Minister Stevens proclamation and on the stroke of nine the star spangled banner fluttered up the stall on the tower. Tbe nag was saluted by tbe troops and marines and tbe heavier guns of the Boston, and Hawaii was under Uncle Sam's wing for tbe time being at least.

The special message of Governor Hogg to the Legislature on lynching was not known here until the arrival of the morning papers. There were, at first, expressions of indignation that tbe governor should continue to agitate a matter woven be confesses is witbont remedy, but this gave way to pity for the absurdities, as the people called them, into which be bad plunged, Tbe execution of Smith was said to be simply a decree of the higher law of tbe South. No error was made, they say, and there was no doubt of the crime or of tbe criminal, and the same crime would be punished with tbe same tate, but tnere will be no such act here for many a day, as tbe arm ol tbe people bas been felt.
