I.tiicIi'8 Cane, Editor Tub Citizkn: You give tbe names of several men wuu stencil a petition in favor of Ml, Lynch's re-election. Arc you aware that many, per-' haps most of these men after signing. went to the chairman of the market bouse committee and requested liim to cc that Mr. Lynch was not ekctcd ? I arc been tolfl that such is the case, and for the credit of these men will be very glad to have the report contradicted. Indeed there is no greater evil now threatening; the public than the loose way in -which n.cn, otherwise sincere, aiju any applic4 'ion presented to them. Only a few Sunduvs afco while tny brain was puzzled how to p:et water lor Ashe ville. and how to protect the sanitary officers from arrest by iioi'S policemen, I looked with envv on an esteemed friend. isturbed by no such uu-Godly medita tions, but calmlviroiny to Sunday school to tcacli boys and uirls the words of 'Sincerity and truth." But my envy isappcareel next day wlicn tins same friend said to me : "I siened a petition for as sanitary inspector, but of course I know vou have more sense tnan to appoint him." I hunted up the peti- lon and fount! it to certuy mat tne applicant was well qualified lor the position. 1 am rattier surprised to icarn inai tne recent elections satisfy ex-Mayor Blan- on. because I am told his only petition waain livor ol Joun lliomas wcrguuors as policeman, and he certainly was not lectccl. Now Mr. Kditor is it not time for honest men to call a halt iu this petition Kninc business r 1 for one think it is. and I have that opinion of your jjocl udjiment, as to be surprised at your basilic your criticism of yesterday on any such Rround . 1 He tact is. as your reporter win state today fTuesdar's report ol the Hoard meeting, that jj;ood reasons existed for not electing Mr. Lynch. These reasons have been submitted to n competent committee to report, and I have no ntcntion to forestall this report, but hope it will set Mr. Lynch in the position as an honorable man, which nil ex-Con-fedcrate soldiers should maintain, and hall maintain it I can aid them to do so. Now a word, Mr. Kditor, as to your criticism of the recent election. Vou seem to object to Mr. llarkins because of his lcincr a Republican. Please ask the Straightout Democrats whether or not they solicited Republican llarkins to be their candidate for mayor at the ate election. In city officers 1 know not whether any man is a Democrat or a Re publican; I only seek competent men. I do know that under the former adminis tration I saw a number of negroes who had been arrested for Rambling lodged in the largest and most comfortable room in the citv prison, and passing away the Sunday hours by aid of a pack of cards; and I do know that I found at the same time white men shut up in a dark and comfortless cell; andl do know that at another time 1 saw a white man locked up, eating and sleeping in the same apartment with negroes; and with out asking Mr. Uarkins as to his poli tics, I notify him now that should 1 ever sec these things permitted by him. 1 shall certainly ask speedily for his resignation, out 1 am so well acqnaintcu witn xvir. Iarkins that I have no fear of any such abominations existing in the city prison this year. Now. why will you not criticise all things fairly? Let me suggest a plan. Reproduce a certain family tree which adorned your columns two years ago, ind say tins was tne result oi tne Strnightout Democratic administration and then publish the names ot those elected last Friday, and I will ask you to point among them to a single son or brother, and will advise you if you find my such among them to kick out the Reform Aldermen, as the Straightouts certainly deserved to be kicked out, when they disgraced Asheville bv planting their genealogical tree of iKOl. Verv respectfully, T. W. Patton. THIS CASK. Col A.. 1. Davidson') Address Last ICventnic. There was a small crowd present at the Lyceum last evening to hear the ad dress of Col. A. T. Davidson upon the Iudians of Western North Carolina. It is a lamentable fact, but nevertheless true, that there is not that interest taken in the history and traditions of Western North Carolina that there should be. Col. Davidson's address consisted of n spe cially prepared paper, in which he re lated incidents within his own knowl edge that illustrated the prominent characteristics of this now rapidly de clining race, and also the reading of an article written by himself 40 years nno, relating a most touching story of Indian integrity and hardship ut the time the tribe was moved from Western North Carolina to the West. i,l was much enjoyed by j., ,o i . , ,11,. niftiitj have been im proved could it have been delivered ex temporaneously instead of being red need to manuscript, as much ol the charm ol Col. Davidson's remiriseences consist in the easy and fluent flow oi language and the manifest feeling and sympathy shown by the narrator as the story pours out of his memory. The Citizkn will publish as much of Col. Davidson's address tomorrow and Friday as space will permit. It is to he hoped that it will be kept intact, and added to as the aulhor has leisure, as there is much along this line that must increase in interest as time goes by, and will always constitute a valuable portion ot the history of North Carolina.

Business in the effected portions of the town 13 temporarily suspended. Line men have bi-cn working ail day to get the wires in shape, but it will be some time before electric cars can be run. IiltTercuceB Between tlie City and s tlie Ex-Market Keeper. Tub Citizen understood from AUer man J. M. Gudger's statement to the Board on Monday that the Lynch case stands about this wav : Two years ago or perhaps longer. Mr. Lynch was given charge of the city scales, the market house at that time being a thing 01 the future. Some sort 01 an arrangement was made, ust what nobody seems to know absolutely, between the city and Mr. Lynch whercbv he was to receive all or the greater portion of the receipts for a certain length of time. After this time the per cent, which Mr. Lynch was to receive was lessened. Tbe old Board had tbe matter of settlement under consider ation at various times, and after he was made market keeper he began paying into the treasury the per cent, which the city claimed was due it. Near the close of the old administration Mr. Lvnch told the Board that he believed he had abou finished his payments. The question was not settled then nor has it bean set tled so far, although it is now in the hands of a committee from the new Hoard. The Citizen talked with several prom inent renters in the market yesterday with regard to their signatures on Mr Lynch 'a petition. One said he had signci the netition and would do so again 1 dozen times over. Another said he had igned it mainly because be had sympa tbized with Mr. Lynch in his affliction but he thought him a good man. at thouszb a little too fiery. A third said Mr. Lynch was a very good man, some times riuiclc in temper, ana that sympa thy was one consideration when he signed the petition; any good man would suit this renter. The fourth man aid he was not particular as to tbe Board's choice; that he and Mr. Lynch Had always gotten along well together. One renter said he signed the petition because lie wanted Mr. L,yach retained because be was in the first place a good officer, and in the second place a man who needed tne position. Whole Block llurned. San Fbncisco, Cat., June 7. At 3:15 this morning fire burned the whole block on Page street between Baker and Lyon streets. Two firemen were instantly Kiuca by tsuuaz wans. The Doors Kept Opeu Till a a in. To Pay ont Money To Depos itorsThe Fever Spreads To Other Bauka, Chicago, Ills., June 7. It was uot until after two o'clock yesterday morn ing that the Illinois trust and saving banks closed its doors after paying the last depositor that remained in line at that hour. This performance, it is said, broke the record, it being the first time iu this country, so far as is known that a bank has remained open after mid night in order to meet a run. As early as 7 o'clock, however, another batch of depositors had made their appearance, and they lounged against the walls or sat on the curbstone awaiting the regu lar nour tor opening. At the Hank of Commerce, farther up the street, as well as at the Dime Savings bank, the Union Tmsaud the Hibernian bank the same scenes were being enacted, by ten o'clock it was apparent that Monday's experiences would be re peat eil at each institution. At some of them there were double lines of deposi tors extending for a couple of blocks. Another large crowd Intended out into the middle of the street and those com posing it pushed their way inside as best they could. Officers of all the institu tions insisted that they were able to weather the storm and with the excep tion of the Dime Sayings bank, not one has so fur found it necessary to enforce even the thirty days' notice rule, while this latter institution is paying from 20 to 80 per cent, in cash, according to the needs of the various applicants and rc cpjiring only the usual thirty days' notice for the remainder. At the various national banks it js said that the Illinois Trust, which has savings deposits subject to notice, to a total of $10,500,000 and individual de posits subject to check of $7,500,000 more, is as sound ns tl c Bank of Eng land, and the officers of the institution say that they can pay off every deposi tor in the savings branch and still have several millions left for an emergency.
