There will be a meeting at the Asheville club rooms tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock of all persons interested in the proposition to build a railroad to Dristol. Mayor T. V. ration, when inter viewed by The Citizen, concerning the proposition to retire $100,000 worth of ibe Asheville street improvement bonds and allow the county to vote on that amount to be given toward the procure ment of additional railroad facilities, said: "I presume all crsons' agree that ad ditional railroad facilities would greatly benefit our whole county, and wcshotild carefully consider the best plan by which this may be accomplished. The mistake hitherto has been a hasty proposition, in the wisdom of which the advocates of the measure were not agreed. Thus it went before the voters of Buncombe county without the support of all those who really favored the object aimed at. "In order to succeed it is essential first to agree among ourselves. This can only be accomplished by one or more free and candid conferences of those who so ardently wish for another railroad con nection, as to be willing to think, to con fer together, and then to work hard tor its attainment." 'What do you suggest?" "I would suggest that The Citizen call a meeting of those who favor the scheme on the night of the first Monday in June, in order that the County Cora- Auollicr Tournev To Beglu morrow EvenluK.

As president of thatclub(a most valuable institution, however distasteful to the Wayncsvillian style of oratory), 1 authorize you tosnjj gest that ptaec. After this initiatory step is accomplished wc should have n mass-meeting at the court house, to con sider the measures proposed. "1 cannot now suggest anv very defi nite plan of proceed ure. Mr. A. L). Cooper is a very thoughtful man and his suggestions always deserve careful con sideration. If I suggest difficulties in his wav. it is done in no captious spirit, but rather with hope he may remove them. "The first trouble is that his scheme of retiring the unsold city bonds can only be done by authority of the Legislature, involving a delay of two years. He and I both would prefer to have the railroad well under way before that time. In the interval, what shall Asheville do? Con sider the situation facing the present ad ministration: Our own laborers beg ging for work,, no money to employ them, most of the small amount of street fund on hand already pledged to contrac tors employing iureign i.-ioorers, muny streets torn up ana partially graded on a contract conditional upon a farther sale ot bonds; absolutely no means to complete these streets, nor to replace them in the condition they were in before this grading rendered them impassable. 1 do honestly consider this the most un fair act of the preceding Hoard ol Alder men. The only object must have been to force a farther sale of bonds. It seems to me they have succeeded in this most unjust way in rendering this unavoida ble, and that wc are now obliged to sell half of the remaiuing bonds say $100, OOO. "The law specifies that these shall not be sold below par. The present alder men intend to respect their oath and olicy . this and all other laws. Then these bonds must be s old at par, if at alt. After the squandering o( $45,000 on discounts (?), this can not be done elsewhere than tit home. All the city's credit abroad has been de stroyed. Why, only last week I had to advance money to git near load of pitch to complete Church street, because the shippers were afraid to trust the city, and had sent it with bill of lading at tached to their draft. What an abso lutely dishonorable position for a city to be placed in. ' And, remember, Asheville in proiKTtj' is nve-seventns ot uuncomoe county. An injury to the city's credit, prevents any chance of success in the proposed railroad scheme. Then if we wish anoth er railroad our first step must be to re establish the credit of this city. Let her citizens do this by joinintr me in the pur chase of $1 00,000 ol Asheville s bonds at par. I have completed my arrangements to take one-tenth of that sum. Thin money judiciously expended will do all that is imnerativelv needed." "What plan do you propose. Mayor Patton?" "Let a mass meeting be catled and let it order its servants to sell no more bonds until the Legislature meets and provides for their retirement. In this wav the citv's credit being re-established a suitable amount of county bonds may be issued and sold easily at par, and the much desired additional railroad ob tained. "First of all, let us show by our deeds that we have not lost all confidence in the future prosperity of Asheville. Let us by personal sacrifice make good her credit, and all difficulties in the way of the railroad will vanish. Bill Mve Takes Another suave From plum i.cvl While Bill Nye was in tlic city recently he called on his old totisoi ial Iricnd, I'lum Levi, whom he had not seen since last season, and indulged in the luxury of a shave under Plum's scientific manipula tion.

The cray uniforms of the men of the United Confederate veterans, the lmiWs and buttons of other vetorans most of them worn with a red and hite ribbon, and the familiar gray slouch hat made the cars present striking appearance.

Piohably the most important decision ever sent from the office of the Secretary of the interior to the Coinniissioncrof Pensions lias just been filed. It is believed by those high in authority in the Pension Bureau, that it will reduce the payment of pensions under the act of June 27, 1800, between $15,000,000 and $30,000,000. It in volves the repeal of an order passed by Gen.
