HIRE'S ROOT BEER The Former Citv WelKnusaeter Snows to Itae Board of Aldermen Thai There Were Inaccuracies In the Report In his statement to the Board of Al dermen requesting a reconsideration of action on the report of the finance com. mittee in bis case, ex-Market Keeper Lynch said on Friday that "the report contains errors of fact and contravenes my equitable and legal rights in the fol lowing particulars: The report giv es me credit on account ot cash paid by nre to the city clerk dur ing the time embraced in the report of only $210, whereas I paid during that time sums amounting to $240, as appears of record in the office of the city clem in tne uay oook oi miscella neous and contingent expenses,' at pages 31, etc. The report sets forth that the finance committee find 'from the verbal state ments of S. S. Lvncb, but no record at such transaction, that about July 14, 1890, he was placed in charge of the scales, the terms 1 icing that he should retain to his own use two-thirds of the receipts and pay to the city one-third thereof,' The report thus ignores the fol lowing action of the Board of Aldermen on August 29, 1800, as found in the official record on page 57 : 'Mr, Lynch asked the Board to state definitely what per cent, of the receipts of the scales they were willing to allow him lor his services. fJn motion it was ordered that he be allowed two-thirds of his receipts, the city to have the bal ance.' "According to the present information and belief there was never any subsequent order ot the Board ol Aldermen repealing or modilying said order and it remained in force continuously while 1 remained in charge of the citv scales. 1 he report further sets forth that S. S. Lynch stated to the finance committee that about May, 1801, he was authorized to retain to bis ow n use all the receipts from the city scales Irora that time until June 1, 1894. t his is error, in that it was from October 1, 1801, that 1 understood I was so authorized and I believe so stated to the finance committee. Having; the directions of the mayor and chairman oi the Board of Aldermen to take the entire receipts of the scaleb Irom October 1. 1801, to June 1, tsua. which i nave Heretofore shown were given, 1 supposed 1 had authority so to do. If the directions of the mavor as showu were a sufficient warrant to mc, then the city is justly indebted to mc as appears by the following .statement, in the sum ol $Ul.a5: To Va scale fees from Aug. 1, '91, to Oct. 1, '91 17.84 To i,s scale fees from June 1, 'HO, to June 1 .'93 17T.67 Received on account of wngra 4o.uo PLElfTV OP SPORT. diet Readv For the Ball Gnmrs Wedaesdav and Thursday. The Asheville baseball crank will be in his glory Wednesday and Thursday of this week, the prime cause being contests in the national game between the Ashe ville nine and a team from Statesville at Cai rier's track. The boys from down the country will come with the reputa tion of bang-up sluggers, and a game that will make the grand Btand rattle may be looked for. Game will be called each afternoon at 4 o'clock, and every enthusiast wants to be there sure. The glorious Fourth will be a gala day A Carrier's track. The Asheville Baseball club has arranged a program for that day that will provide amuse; ment for the big crowd that is sure to gu. There will be two bicycle races, two gold medals to go to the winners. The Reds and Blmcs of this city will cross bats in a "crown" game that is, the four players making the largest number of runs will be entitled to crown the queen of love and beauty and three maids of honor. Besides these events there will be a sack race for water melons, a wheelbarrow race, foot race, and a greased pig race. Prizes will be given in each event.

The news of the suicide by hanging of Miss Susan Miller in Upper Hominy township was received too late Satur day afternoou to permit of the publica tion of particulars. The circumstances, as related by ex Commissioner J. C, Cur tis, follow; Saturday morninn Win. Miller, the father, left for Asheville accompanied bv one oi nis daughters. About 10 o'clock Mrs. Miller left for a store some distance way, instructing Miss Susan toureoare dinner. Not long after the mother left Miss Susan went to the barn and secured roue which she knotted about her neck. One end of the rope was made last to a crossbeam and the suicide wung off. She died from strangulation. When found her feet rested on the floor nd her knees touched a oileof hav under the spot chosen for the hanging. Mrs. oilier returned from the store ind found dinner unprepared and Miss Susan away. She thought little of her bseuce. however, anttl 41 bout i.ton. when she became alarmed at the daugh? ter's failure to appear and sent one of the children to search fqr her. The searcher went to the barn and found Miss Miller the position described and ouite dead. Miss Miller had been ill for a loner time, though she was in her usual health Saturday, and it is thought that con. tinued broodingover her affliction caused the suicide. She had never shown the lightest sign of i'tsanity. Mr. Miller the father, was in Asheville when the sad affair happened. Mis Miller's body was interred yesterday near Turnpike. to June $138 64 to June 177.67 s 440.00 .$77 46 Total Balance due city "If so found bv the Board of Aldermen I will acknowledge myself indebted to the city in the sum ot $28.85, in addition to one-third of the scales receipts from June 1. 1803, to June 7, 1893, now in mv hands. It will be remembered that the Reform nuance committee recently made a re port which tried to make Mr. Lynch the city s debtor to the amount of $414.19 1 he report also said that certain kuij posed records of actions by the former Board could not be found. Mr. Lynch' statement disproves this assertion. A PHF.HH CLUB This tfeltctuas and Invigorating Irink is se red at our fountain t HEINITSU & KEAOAN, CHURCH STREET AND PTTON AVENUE. Organisation Dunne Time ffj til ni ne Rock Tries. While the newspaper men were on their excursion to Chimney Rock last week a Press club was organized, the particular of which are given as follows by the Charlotte Observer: "It was decided to organize the Chim ncv Kock Press club, which is to erect comfortable club house upon land on the sloiie of Chimney Kock mountain, which the developer of that section have al ready agreed to donate for that purpose: This club house is to be devoted to the use of any newspaper men and their families who desire to jointhe club. The Seaboard Air Line road, it is well under stood, will see that the club house erected on the proiierty, of which fifty acres, near the Twin Springs, have been t aside for this purpose.

M.Westall returned on Thursday from the World's Fair. It is all nonsense, Mr. Westall says, for anyone to talk about extortionate prices at Chicago. There is no extortion unless the visitor goes there ctermined to spend all the money he can. Mr. Westall, accompanied bv Mrs. Westall, spent eight days in the Windy Citv, saw as much of the big show as could be seen in that time, and the entire trip, railroad tare, board and everything from the time ot leaving Asheville to the day of return, cost $120, or $60 each. Mr. and Mrs. Westall while in Chicago stopped wttn Mrs. Carrie Carr Mitchell who formerly kept the ragg house on Merrimon avenue, Asheville, At Mrs. Mitchell's they had an excellent stopping place, at a cost ol $2 a day each. Her bouse is some distance from the fair grounds, but distance matters little in a city with the transportation facilities Chicago has. Many Asbevillians and North Carolinians stay at Mrs.Mitchell s. Mr. Westall says the order that is preserved at the Fair is wonderful when the vastness of the crowd is taken into consideration. He did not see a drunken man nor hear an oath in the grounds all the time he was there. And in the city of Chicago he saw only three drunken men during hi stay. Ot the fair itself, Mr. Westall says nothing but a visit will give one an adequate conception ot its im mensity words cannot picture it. He advises everybody to make the trip, which will be the trip of a lifetime. BICYCLE ACCIDENTS. THE HOTEL COLLAPSED ' IF You Want ABOUT BEVeNTV-FIVIC BI'K- IED IN TUB RUINS.
