HEIN1TSH & REAGAN, 13 TTGrGISTS, Cliurctm St. and !Patton Ave. We Receive daily a fresh supply of Meetlute Held To Consider Speci fications for Paving West Hay wood Altai ii W.B. Gwin'i Illus tration on a Mncn Talked f Matter. The advocates of Advisor Grfen's proposition to give to A. M.Smith the contract for putting down rubble pavim; between Buxton street and Woodcock's druir store, on Wt Haywood street, mean to win, if they can doso by teeping everlastingly nt it. Not that the advocates arc so very formidable in numbers, but because prob ably a majority of those who favor the scheme have a vote in the Joint Board. A special meeting of this body wag held yesterdav afternoou, . attended by Aldermen ISaird, Leonard, Waddell, Stames and Gudger; Advisors Miller, Bearden and Green; and V. U. Gwyn. Mr. Waddell was chosen to preside over the meeting, which was called to con sider the specifications for brick and tub ble paving and macadam, drawn up by City Engineer Lee. Mr. Lee submitted the specifications lor brick paving, and they were adopted. In these the pitch, as now used on the foundation, is omitted, the foundation being made up of six inches of crushed stone, and two inches of sand. Alderman Starncs moved that the ab sorption test of the paving brick be made 3 instead ot 4 per cent., but the motion was lost. The rubble paying specifications were submitted, and adopted. The fize of the smallest block that may be used is 4x6, instead ot 3x4, as is the case in the Bux ton street paving. The macadam speciiications were also adopted, and on motion of Alderman Starnes it was decided that "I mestone or any other hard stone" should be used as a top dressing. The city engineer was instructed to advertise 30 days for bi ts for paving, instead of 20 days as ordered Friday. W. B. Gwvn addressed the Board in relation to the proposition to give th' West Haywood street paving contract to A. M. Smith, which proposition was knocked in the head hnday. in Mr Gwvn's opinion the Board would do the " . i 'r , , ,L. proper ibing it it suouia rccunsiucr action of Friday and extend the paving contract ol either Mr. binith or WeDD, Oates. Eskridge & Co. He suid The Citizen was opposed to the proposal, but he had to favor it. The Citizen's idea, he very kindly ex- plained to the listening members, was very much like the building ol a bridge und the flooring of both ends thereof, alter which the builder would advertise for bids to furnish a few plnnks with which to complete the flooring, Mr. Gwvn neglected to stnte, however in carrying out his illustration, that the "few planks" in this instance are just 1.100 feet of street, and would cost cost between $4,000 and $5,000. Advisor Miller saw outcropping of "give-away" and he objected to the con siderntion of this paying question. The meeting was called to consider the speci hcations, he said, and anything ei would be out of order. As things appear now, it seems that the contract for the work under discus sion will be given Mr. Smith. At l'ri day's meeting the vote kill-ng the propo sition was 4 to 5. Advisor Williams, who voted against the proposition out of Asheville. This leav s only four of those who opposed Mr. Green's mo tion. Alderman Gudger was not in Asheville Friday, and it is not known how he may vote. But suppose he votes against the proposition. Aldermen Starnes and Waddell will have each vote, which they will use in supporting Mr. smith, and which will give Mr, Smith's champions six votes with a full Board. That is the way it appears now. If it can be done, it is apparent that an attempt will be made Kiiduv to reconsider the action whereby the city engineer was instructed to advertise fo bids for paving West Haywood street DIVORCE THEMSiaVKH A Brother ot Hlanop Ma j good and His Wire. Atlanta, March 12 The following card has been made public: "The undersigned haye this day dis solved their relation as man and wife, Neither claims nor believes any cause for divorce against the other, cither upon Scriptural or legal grounds, Having gradually discovered what we did not know at the time ot our marriage, that we did not and do not have that degree of mutual love essential to a happy union, and feeling that time widens ratner tnan neais tne Dreacu, we believe it our duty to dissolve our mar riage relations.

Washington, March 15. The Presi dent today sent to the Senate the follow ing nominations: Win. McAdoo, of N. J., Assistant Sec retary of the Navy. Ivdward B. Whitney ant Attorney-General, Parker, resigned. The Senate met this morning and, upon motion of Mr. Gorman, without doing any business, went into executive session. The committees not having reorganized no business could be trans acted, and while still in executive session the Senate took a recess until 3:30 to enable the Republican caucus to finish its work. This had the effect of keeping the galleries and lobbies cleared. The Vice Presidrnt laid belorc the Sen ate the following resolution ol the Mas sachusetts Legislature : "Resolved, That it is the sense of this general court that t is expedient that the Hawaiian Islands should be annexed to the United States; that the interests of the I nitcd ntatrs, commercially and stratcgetically, will be promoted thereby. Hie Republican members ot the Senate went into caucus this morning for the purpose of receiving the report of iis committee making the assignment of mi nority chairmanships and the member- Hip ol the various committees. At noon the caucus had not finished its work, nd when the Senate was called to order the Republicans entered the chamber without being rcadv, as already stated. to make any report.

Transmon- tane Democrats are encouraged today with the hope that II. A. Gudccr will be chosen collector, and they say in that case, that Allison will be marshal. They seem still to think that "Bob"' Glenn will get the district attorneyship, and he may. Those gentlemen declare Kope Elias will not take the assistant attor nevship. Said a Congressman today: If Vance could get cither one of the thiee big appointments to suit him he would be able to hx the rest. Gen. Robert Vance has bled papers for the office of sixth auditorof the treasury. that is. auditor of the postoffice depart ment. Something was said of his apply ing tor his old position, deputy commis sioner of patents, but Cleveland's order seems to have decided mm to ask lor different place. This order has sent home many nn applicant. Maj. J. Stobo harron.ot Spartanburg, applies lor tne sixth auditorship. It has been arranged tliat Unas. Al Busbce is to have the Kalcigh post office.

In all probability Asheville will soon haye an important addition to her man ufacturing industries. When asked this morning if it were a fact that he proposed to go into active business life again, C. K. Graham replied that it was, and gave Tiuc Citizhn these particulars: The industry which Mr. Graham con templates establishing is a weaving mill, for the manufacture of ginghams and ther colored goods. The mill will at first be equipped with 2G4 looms, and built with a view to nn enlargement to 504-loom conacitv. All of the ma- binery has been purchased. When in operation the mill will employ 100 ands, the outlay in wages alone being more than $30,000 a year. As to the site tor the mill Mr. Graham is not certain. He is now corresponding with Col. A. LS. Andrews, president of the Southern Improvement company, looking to the purchase of a site from this company in or near the soutnern portion of Asheville. If he cannot get the site he desires the mill will be erected at some point on the Murphy branch of the Western North Carolina railroad. Mr. Graham expects to begin work on the mill within the next thirty days. The establishment of this mill would be an important matter for Asheville, and it is to be hoped that Mr. Graham can make such arrangements as will en sure its operation here. CRUSHED TO DEATH.
