Geo. S. I'owcll. chief of the fire depart
ment of the city of Asheville, lias made
his annual report to the Hoard of Alder
men through the fire department com
mittee. The rciiort is a. very full one,
embracing every item of properly owned
and used by the fire companies, appara
tus not in use, location and number of
alarm boxes, and the names of tlic active
members of the department.
The number of fire alarms. Chief
Powell's report says, since June 1892
was O; number of fires, 7.
It has often been remarked that this city
is wonderfully free from destructive fires
in fact, fires of imy kind. That this is
true is shown by this report, when it is
stated that the loss in property from
fire during the last j-ear was onlv
Sfi.OOO. The insurance on this was
$2,000.
In a. communication to the Hoard
Chief I'owcll says that his business is
such as to make it undesirable for him to
accept the office ot chief for another year.
The best interests of the city, he thinks,
demand certain changes and amend
ments iu the ordinances governing; the
fire department. Therefore he surest s
that section 54-0 of the city code be
amended to read as follows:
"The mavor shall whenever it mav be
necessary take the necessary measures In
pursuance of the charter ot the city to
prevent and extinguish fires, by organ
izing fire companies; the membership of
each of said fire companies shall be
limited to 20 men, who shall be elected
by the Hoard of Aldermen upon the nom
ination of the fire chief and the
committee on fire department. The first
two companies to be thus organized
shall be designated respectively as Cen
tral Hose company No. l.and as Central
Hook and Ladder company No. 1, to
which other companies may at any time
le added by the Hoard of Aldermen. . .
Iiach ix-r son who shall be 'elected
as above provided and shall accept the
position of a member of the fire company
shall be received on probation for six
months and after the expiration of at
least three mouths from his election and
acceptance he shall be examined by the
fire chief and the committee on
fire department oi all matters calculated
to indicate his cfliciciicv as a fireman,
such as his knowledge of the streets of
the city, location of the fire plugs and
alarm boxes, and such other things as
the tire chief and the committee
may deem necessary. The said exami
ners shall at once report to the
Hoard of Aldermen the result of their
examination, and in case such report is
unfavorable the member referred to
shall be discharged from such member
ship; but in case of a favorable report
his membership shall be confirmed and
made permanent and such member shall

Six prominent citizens carricJ the cas'

The procession moved off with tl
State infantry in front, the band playing
a dead march. Then came the funeral
car, a triple line of veterans on each
side, and a long line following arm in
arm. On one side of the street a lonjj
line of little children was drawn up. In
the centre of the military were two color
sergeants, side by side, one with the
Stars and Stripes and the other with a
tattered Confederate battle Hag, both
flying. At the entrance to the capitol
Governor Carr, of North Carolina, aud
his staff met the procession. The casket
was borne into the rotunda ot the capi
tol and deposited on a tloral emblematic
mound of magnolias for Louisiana, pine
for North Carolina and hollv for Holly
wood cemetery , Virginia, the beginning,
middle and end of tbc tuncral journey.
The floral decorations exceeded in
beauty, anything vet seen. The State of
North Carolina itself laid its tribute on
the casket in the shape of a broken col
umn four feet high of sweet peas, pink
and yellow hollyhocks in three spiral
rows. At the base reclined a Confeder
ate battle Hag. as large as one used in
action, made with exquisite skill of red
pinks and roses, white pinks and migno
nette, and parole blue clematis. Above
the whole, on an arch ol white pinks,

At the head and foot of thecofhn stood
