The day is a very frigid one that is not productive of something really lively in the meeting of the Hoard of Aldermen or the Joint Hoard especially it Aldermen lout s and Starncs arc present. The lat ter docs not seem to care a fij; for the fact that neither he nor Alderman J. M.

I1EIN1TSII & HEINITSli & HEINITSII & IIEINITSII & IIEINITfcSH & IIEINITSII & REAGAN REAGAN REAGAN REAGAN REAGAN REAGAN (NN0T GET TOGETHER mind saying just what they think. There was a meeting of three and sonic dd hours' duration yesterday afternoon, nd a great deal of time was taken up it talk, but talk of the sort that had a little spice mixed with it, and nobodv suffered. The loint Uoard tncctiiii was to have been held first, but the Aldermen (all present) met instead, in order to hear a petition for a whiskey licence, presented by Duff Merrick, esq , for the Glen Rock hotel. The proprietor, Mr. onnelly, knew nothing of the new law regarding the procurement of license and came near letting the opportunity slip, but the Hoard kindly considered his peti tion and granted the license on motion of Mr. Starncs, in order that the petition might !c taken bclore the County Commissioners. Hpat ! Hpal ! City Clerk Young's tcsigtialion was offered, and Mayor I'atton stated that, as the term as recorder of Mr. Miller, the clerk-clcct, would not expire until the 15th of Tunc, he, the Mayor, would be clad if he were given authority to employ the help necessary to keep the books in proper shape until Mr. Miller can take hold. Mr. Starncs moved that Mr. Young's resignation be made ctl'ec- ivc on the 15th. This was seconded by Mr. Cosby. Mr. Jones did not want it his way and moved as a substitute for Mr. Starncs motion that the resignation be accepted and that the Mayor be in vested with power to make the neces sary arrangements in the premises, Mayor I'atton said he had a great deal f respect tor Col. Young, and esteemed im highly as a friend, but the fact of the business was, he wanted a man who could keep up with the work oftlicoflice i he minutes ol 1-rulay s meeting he said. had not been made up, and, while he had II respect, etc., l.c thoutjlit the clerk hould not get behind with the minutes, a very important feature. Col. on tig explained that the minutes were necessarily very long and that, on account of his other duties (the clerk will have to do the work of two Hoards lor $50 a mouth ) he was unable to com plete the minutes, although they were nearly read v. lie staled that lie pre ferred, after what had heen said, to have his resignation accepted at once, as his official term was just expiring. Alderman I ones here said that il the clerk could not do the work in the day imc he should sit up nights with it, and Hustratcd his point Willi an anecdote Mr. Starncs moved about this time and he was hot sure enough! He called for the question, and thought it unusual for i man ( Mr. Jones) to sieak twice to get second. I- urthcr, he did not blame Col. Young for wishing to resign in tantcr after what had been said. Mr. loncs said he meant no reflection on Col. ioung, and ttie question on the adoption of the substitute was put, re suiting; in four ayes and two noes. Mr. Starncs called for a division; "lor," said he, "I want to sec if the Alderman who seconded my motion goes back on it. lie saw that the vote stood: Aye, tones, Cosbv, Wcstall, Umlger; no Startles, I. M. Gudgcr, Then on motion of Mr. Jones it was ordered that Col lounir be compensated tor any extra woi k lie might do. ICmerKeucy clerk f Mi Hand. This business disposed of, F. W Thomas, a stenographer from Alderman ones' cilice, came in and was assigned to duty, at the clerk's desk, by Mayor I'atton. Someone suggested at tins u nc tu re that a shorthand man would lie necessarv to get down all ot Mr. loncs speeches. I'ostmastcr Kerr asked proposals tor sprinkling the streets about the govern ment building and the removal ot rub bish (this is not to be construed as a hit at the Kepublican employes) and aslies from the building. Kcterred to the street committee and the board of Ileallh with power to act. I he Dill ot a. s. Lvncii, ex-market keeper, was sent in and referred to the finance committee far a report There is a difference between Mr. Lynch and the old Hoard as to the set tlement of scales receipts a year or more back. Mr. Starncs moved that hereafter all committees appointed with power to act shall at the meeting tollowing their ap pointment make a report ot their nispo sition of matters intrusted to them This provoked a long discussion princi pally between Messrs. Jones and J. Iu Gudger, the latter declaring that "power to act" was a power that should never be exercised except in an emergency. He believed, as Mr. Jones did not, that power to act bound the body contcr ring that power. Bonds In. The official bond of H. C. FagR, the new tax collector, was filed and accepted It is for $30,000 and the sureties arc: M J. Fagg, J. 1. Sawyer, J. A. Wagner and U. S. ilildebrand. J. L,. Murray's bond lor $5,000 as su perintendent ol water works was ac cepted, the sureties being: T. C. ltrown, Jesse K. Starncs, M. J. Fagg, A. Kankin and John l-rady. City Clerk Young's bill of $87.50 for services was ordered paid, if found cor rect by the finance committee. minutes showed that certain bills had licen referred to the finance committee for payment if lound correct. The com mittee had found some errors and had had the correct figures inserted in the minutes, instead of those first considered by the Hoard. Advisor Gwyn proceeded to make a very clear Interpretation of "power to act," and thought the finance committee should have reported its action in the matter to the Hoard, leav ing the minutes to be corrected as that body might sec fit. Alderman Starncs said plainly that it was a mistake on the part of the Mayor to change the min utes. The figures should have been left as ordered, and any correction might be made at a subsequent meeting. 1 he Mayor said all bills should, he would suggest, be lcit to the linancc committee to pay if found correct. Advisor Uwjn then gave out some straight goods, sav- ng that the old rule should be followed. bv which the finance committee hud to go through the bills before each meeting and ' U. K. them. 1 lie present way was a slip-shod style of doing business, and Mr. Gwyn was emphatic in saying so, though his remarks were not relished by everyone. 1 lie contract between tlic city and tne Southern Construction company for paving part of West Haywood, was read by Advisor Gwyn, and after some cross motions from Aldermen Jones aud Starncs the Mayor and Clerk were or dered to coufer wttb the city attorney and sign the contract if found properly drawn. KeeplDK Vp T lie Lick. Advisor Gwyn brought up the l'attou avenue question, which was started re cent I j- by a request from the contractors for a final estimate on the paving of the avenue. He wanted Aldcrmcu Starncs, J. M. Gudgcr and Jones to go over the avenue and make up tncir minus as to whether the work lias been done accord ing to contract, and made a motion to that cllect. Mr. Gudgcr said be would not vote for the final payment until the street com mittee and city engineer should say the work was done according to contract. He moved as a substitute for Advisor Gwyn's motion that the street commit tee be requested to say whether the contract had been properly carried out. There was a strict party vote on tins, Messrs. Starncs antl J. M. Critdger being the only ones to vote aye. Mr. Gudgcr then rose, sis he said, to a question not only of personal privilege but parliamen tary politeness. He thought Mr. Gwyn's motion was extremely discourteous to the Mnvor. in that it named the commit tee. He also said be would be out of town anil could not work. He said he was iu dead earnest and Mr. Gwyn modified his motion by leaving off the names of the committee. This carried stnd the chair appointed Advisor Gwvu and Aldcrmcu Starncs and II. Iv. Gudgcr. On motion of Alderman J. Al. Ludgcr the mayor was instructed to coufer with Contractor Kelly as to the material that should be kept on ban 1 for breaks in the pipe line and report to the Hoard. Hire" tu 'rendered. Moyor I'atton informed the Board that he had ordered Hoycc cc Hurton, the sewer contractors, to stop work on Montford avenue, as it was found that the sewer with which it was expected to connect was a private line belonging to the Asheville Loan, Construction and Improvement company. This provoked a long discussion. Oco. S. Powell, lor the company, offered to give the city Montford park tt it would reimburse tnc company for its expenditures for wjiter and sewerage. I be company thought it should be paid for its line it the city con nected with it, and made a tender of the streets under which the pipes are laid it it desired to accept them. On motion ol Advisor Gwyn City Iingincer .Lee was in structed to report grades, size of mains. etc., on the streets tendered. 1 hen, on motion of I. M. tudgcr, the street com mittee was instructed to confer with the company and learn just what it offered. The contractors were ordered to proceed with the work ot laving sewer. On motion of Ad visor Gwyn the Mayor was given power to appoint an inspector of brick paving temporarily, upon iiotnt nation of the street committee. The city engineer and water commit tee were instructed to report as soon as possible on the new pump, in order that the question whether the second pay ment on the machinery is due may be set t ed. Assistant City Clerk boiling tendered his resignation and it was accepted. His work wjis commended by Mavorl atton and Alderman Westall. Alderman loncs moved that the clerk provide a book in which arc to be kept copies ot all bonds hied by contractors Carried. Aldcrmcu isr it 11 v . The Aldermen held a short scssiou alter the adjournment of the loint Hoard when 11. S. Harkins presented his $5,000 bond as chief of police, VV. O. Wolfe and T. C. Brown as sureties. It was accepted. The city engineer was instructed to re port the width, etc., ot Riverside Drive, which is occupied partly by a sidetrack oi the Asheville Cotton mills. I. A. Conant was given a permit to build a 4- room house on Market street, and the meeting adjourned.

This town was thrown into the wildest excitement about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon by a band of six robbers who, with drawn Winchesters, rushed into and roblcd the People's bank of all the gold and cur rency on Hand, amounting to about $10,000. The robbers came into town by a back alley aud left one of their number to hold their horses while the rest went into the bank ar.d at the point of their guns com piled the cashier to give them all the cash in the vault. Two of the robbers stood guard at tbe door and fired into the streets at every man that showed his head. The citizens, however, as soon as pos sible, got what arms they could and began firing at the robbers, finally wouuding two of them, but to what extent is not known. Three citizens were wounded in the fight, Geo. D. Jack son, slight wound in head; 1 om JJakcr, slight wound in hip; Taylor Stone, shot in grotn. lie is dangerous wounded and may die. When the robbers left the bank they compelled some of the bank officials to go before and behind them in order to protect them from the citizens. Tlie sheriff with a posse started in pursuit of tbe robbers immediately and at last ac counts was only a quarter of a mile behind them. THli UIU FAIR. I-;. HIS Eaifan Talks Alioul Trip to ttie Expo, E. li. Iiagan, who returned Saturday from a two weeks' trip to the great fair at Chicago, gives a glowing account of what he saw at the exposition. He says that a person who has not sen the fair can form no idea of the vastness of the show, and nothing but a trip there will ever give such idea. Sjxxially inter esting, he says, were the build ings devoted to manufactures and lib eral arts, transportation and machinery. In the building iirst mentioned every nation on the globe vies with each other in the display of manufactured articles. Some idea of the scale on which this ex hibit is made cam be had when it is stated that there are 4-t acres of floor space in the building. Of course, Mr. uagan says, tbe visitors ill pay most attention to the exhibit in which they are more directly interested because of their business, but no one who goes to the fnir will leave without seeing the whole exhibition, for there is something new and interesting at every step he takes. On the 30th of May there were 137,- OOO licrsons in the grounds, besides the 30.000 exhibitors aud employes. But, notwithstanding this enormous crowd. the grounds were far from seeming crowded. It is believed that 300,000 or 4-00,000 people can be accommodated in the grounds without discomfort. The crowds in the grounds are always or derly. Regarding the charges ot extortion made against the Chicago people, Mr. Uagan says they arc groundless. Ot course, if the visitor chooses to do so, he can pay enormous prices for his living there, just as he can do in any city. But with fLUO a visitor can spend two weeks at the Fair and see something that will impress him for the remainder of his life. Mr. bagan has been prevailed upon to give some of his Chicago experiences at the informal social in the parlor of the Y. M.C. A. Saturday evening. This will be an opportunity for young men con templating a trip to Chicago to learn a great deal that will be really valuable to them. 1 he association extends an invi tation to all young men to hear this informal talk on an interesting theme. ir IIONOK MIHM I'OKTLU, LIMES LIMES LIMES Raysor & Smith, Are now serving their delicious Limeades.

The staid old Joint Board, whose meetings have been attended only once by Advisor McColluni since he was elected, followed tbe Aldermen in a ses sion, and indulged in tbe luxury of dis cussing matters of interest with consid erably more warmth than is usual with it. Besides the Aldermen Advisors Mil lard and Gwyn were in attendance. After tbe minutes had been read Mayor Patton explained how it was that the statement. A. Clianice That 'Will Please Clior- lotte Street Kesldenls. An agreement has been entered into by the Sunset Mountain band company and Receiver Lewis Maddux, of the Asheville Street railway company, whereby the Camp Patton line of the latter company is to be extended. Poles and wires will be put up from the present Chestnut street terminus of the car line to the point where the dummy line licguis the ascent of the mountain, a distance of about a mile. The track heretofore used by the dummv down to Charlotte street will tie used by the streetcars, making the Camp Patton line nearly two miles in length. The extension has the approval o Judge Dick, to whom Kcccivcr Maddux submitted tbe proposition. 1 tie mater ial has been ordered aud it is expected that the change will be made bv J uly 1 Cars will then run at least every half hour, and if travel justifies it. every 15 minutes, connecting at the end of the line with the dummy.

It is the present intention of the President to issue a proclamation calling an extra session of Congress as soon as practicable after tbe close of the fiscal year, the 30th instant. One of the leading members of Congress, who is in harmony with the President s financial poftry. is the authority for this Pleasant Social at Central Cliurcli Last KCveiiluic. A very happy occasion was the social given in Central church last evening by the Sunday school and Hpwortb League of that church, in honor of Miss Porter, who has shown such an interest in the music departments of these organiza tions. The program consisted of a trio between II. G. Chandler, Miss Alice Smith and Miss Porter; a guitar solo by Oewitt Brown; solo by Miss Porter, and a recitation by Miss Willie Kay. Refreshments were served to all who at tended. A handsome set of Iickens works was presented to Miss Porter, in recognition of her work, the presentation address being made by Prof. P. I. Clax- ton. I he social was a decided success and afforded great enjoyment to those who gave it as well as to the lady in whose honor it was given. Bootna Knd Im Near. New York, June G.
