Mr. Wil liams then moved that the city engineer be instructed to advertise 30 days for bids, for the paving of Haywood street, from Patton avenue east to Patton avenue west, bids to be for rubble or buck. This was carried. Tbe name OldTilrk. Advisor Green said he had had a talk with Contractor A. M. Smith who pro posed to do the rubble paving between Park avenue and Woodcock's drug store, and accent such price as might be the lowest bid of other contractors for a similar class of work. Mr. Green moved he be allowed to do the work, and adver tise for 10 days for bids, but there -was no second. Advijor Mi ler said if this work was given to Smith, tbe Hoard might as well give the remainder of the work to the present contractors witnout advertising for bids. Advisor Hunt moved that bids be ad vertised for for 20 day s and that Smith be allowed to do tbe work, but the motion was lost. C. E.

There was some discus sion on this question, and W. K. Penni man, jr., asked the Board to open the work to bidding. 1 hen C. li. Orabara said he thought it in bad taste for Air. Penmman to make this request, when he (Penniman) only a few months ago ad vocated the giving ol the contract for Buxton street to Smith without bids. This assertion Mr. Penniman denied. During the discussion Advisor Green said "Wc don't want competition we want paving." Ilclii't Get XI. Acting Mayor Starnes put Mr. Miller's motion, and it carried, by this vote : Aye, Miller, Williams, Cummings, Baird and McDowell; nays. Green, Hunt, Bearden and Leonard. Mr. Green wanted Acting Mayor Starnes to use his vote as Alder man. 1 hat would nave made a tie, and be would have to vote off the tie, which would have given him two votes. The presiding officer did not do this, how ever. Advisor Bearden made a motion to advertise 20 days for bids lor the macadamizing or rubble paving of Oak street. Wood tin from Oak to Charlotte, and Charlotte to Chestnut. This was carried. Tbe Board has not decided whether macadam or rubble will be used. Minor Matters. On motion of Alderman Leonard, Montford avenue from Haywood to West Chestnut, was included in the motion ot Advisor Bearden. C. 12. Graham urgd upon the Hoard the need of doing a great deal of macadamizing. Tbe chairmen of the street committees were instructed to inspect the oavine specifications drawn up by City Engineer Lee. At the request of Prank O'Donnell the fence on the Catholic church property on flint street was ordered replaced. v-ity Engineer Lee submitted a state ment of tbe cost of the 16-inch pipe line between the city and the water works, laid by M. H. Kelly. The total cost was $42,541.90. Of this amouut $3 060.03 remains unpaid. An order was made to pay Mr. Kelly $000.03, retaining $3,000. the amount ol Air. Kelly s guarantee for tbe work. Tbe question of a water supply for tbe city rock crusher was referred to Ad visor Miller, with power to act. A ii I-xaiuple of Elfe Itelilticl (lie Hcenes That Is Real. One frequently reads in the newspapers articles which depict the vicissitudes in the life behind the scenes the realities which are a part of every theatrical com pany's existence but they were proba bly never so strikingly illustrated in Asheville as they were last evening, when the "Zozo" company appeared at tbe Grand opera house. livery person ia the audience saw and laughed at the merry-making of "Cupid," as played by Cbelso Ferucbi. who, by the way, is an old favorite. Hut little did bis hearers tbink that behind the paint and powder, the grimaces an 1 the tumbling, there was a sorrow tba.t made Peruchi's heart as heavy as lead. Soon after tbe troupe arrived here yesterday afternoon Peruchi received a telegram from home which stated that bis mother was dying. And while going through his part he was momentarily expecting a dispatch bringing tbe news of her death. But the audience must be pleased; his part was an important one, and had to go on, despite the heart that was bursting with grief and fear fear of the message with the sad news, the coming of which he would give his all to avert. All day Thursday, Thursday night and yesterday morning, Tom Mills, who will be remembered as the patriotic American, "Washington Knowall," who planted the stars and stripes in fairyland last evening, was delirious, suffering from a fever. lis was cared for by the company in the best possible way. and warned against attempting to go on last even ing. A physician told him he would go on at great risk. But be, too, had a principal part, and, despite the warnings. made bis appearance, and played bis part, although the physical paiu he was enduring at times found expression on his face so plain as to make it noticeable to manv of the audience. This is an example of stage life in real. Hearts may break, but tbe public must be pleastd. BROKE CIVIL SERVICK Wf THK LOSS BEACH I OIR AMD A HALF MILLIONS. Kentucky Ofliclnls In a Heap of Trouble.

Boston, March 11. I-ire broke out about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the building owned by F. L. Ames, cor ner of Essex and Lincoln streets, and in volved the entire block. The area burned over comprises practically one whole square, bound on tbe north by Essex trcet, on the east by Lincoln street, on tbe south by Tufts street and on the west by Kingston street. In addition to this square, one building on the north f Essex street extending along Colum bia street was burned, also three build ings on the east side of Lincoln street, and one on the south side of Tufts street. The Emergency hospital, which was part of the United States hotel, and the rear corner ot the hotel was burned. The flames broke out in the toy depart ment of Horace Partridge & Co. There were manv employes at work at the time. The usual avenues ot escape were at once cut off, and then began the scramble for life, which sickened the beholders. The panic stricken inmates fled to the windows and roof. Some escaped bv shinning down the telegraph poles and others by leaping into blankets and nets. Several lumped to the pave merit, six stories, and were terribly man gled. and others fell back into the caul dron of names, or were overcome by the dense black smoke which suttocated all who did not speedily escape. Vast crowds of people began at once to flock to the scene and as a matter of precaution Governor Russell speedily ordered two companies of militia under arms and proceeded to the fire in per son, where he was soon joined by May or Matthews. The fire spread rapidly from building to building, and despite the heroic ellort ot the entire hre system of Suffolk county, was not controlled until the whole square had been levelled. The loss is S,5OO,O0(J, a little over one million in buildings and the remain der on stock. This is covered bv insur ance within $400,000 of the total loss. Only three persons are known to have lost their lives. The injured will num ber more than a score. One of the dead is Leonidus II. Red wood, a merchant; another is a fireman named Robert J. Restaux. Two of the bodies arc not identified; one is a girl too badly burned to be recognizable.

The Slate cotton acreage convention met here yes- tcrdaj'. Among the most important things done was the appointing of committee consisting of one member lrom each congressional district to draw up a suitable form of address to the farmers of the South on the subject ol decreasing tbe cotton acreage. Reports were adduced snowing an immense sur plus crop, and the farmers were urged to turn their attention more to other pro ducts. The committee's report advises tha no change ue m&uc m this tear s acreage in consideration of the lateness of the season, and recommends further tha Texas cotton growers take no concerted action in tbe matter of reducing tbc cot ton average until a convention of th whole cotton-growing world has met and taken action in the matter.
