(HADE IP TWO SHAPES) For sale only by Heinitela & Reagan A uuortiiu Pieseut After Ninh- luie Three Meretluirs Alclctinaii WentalllXlected Maior Pro Teiu Damaices Wautrd on Houth Main, Last night lor the first time in many montbs, tlie Joint Board and tlic Hoard of Aldermen were convened in regular session at night. Two lumps stood upon the desk, sledding a good light thereon, but outside of the circle of light tlic dozen of spectators could scarcely be distinguished. It was a month since the Boards had held a meeting, but t hey soon fell into the routine. Theic were present Aldermen Cosby, J. M. Gudgcr, Jones and Wcstiill; Ad vigors Gwyn, Sawyer aud Redwood. The question, I .-ought up by J. II. Tucker, esq., of extending the College street rubble paving as far out as the ast corner of the Haptist church lot was referred to the finance committee. Reports ot assessments against nr.m- crtv owners for street paving- and side walks in various portions of the city were Bent in bv City KniiiLei- 1,ve and adopted. A consitlerable discussion ensued when the question of a final settlement with Webb, Oates, Uskridge & Co., for the vma ol I'atton avenue, arose. Alder man Westall moved a pioposition be made the contractors to pav them as a final payment the amount due less $300, that amount being deducted because of defective material. This motion was voted down. Then on motion of Ad visor Redwood $300 was ordered with held from the amount due the contrac tors until the matter could be settled satisfactorily. These bills were unproved and ordered paid: I. C. Ilrown, if 1 : Carolina Coal C6 $4-5; 15. M. Lee, $150.50; S. G. Houis, $42. 05; Huneombc Brick and Ti!e Co., $84-; II. M. Smith, $203.04; J. V. Sevier. $5; City Clerk Danville. Va.. W. It. Drown, $1; Brown. Xorthun & Co., $5.7(1; street payroll, $184.73; Chambers ec Weaver, $4. Mrs. Sara Ktith, who now owns the Col. J. G. Martin property, was per mitted to put iu a sewer from Curve street to Valley, the agreement being that whenever the city allows other property owners to connect with the sewer Mrs. Keith is to be repaid the cost of the line. 'I lie AUUiiiitii W'hen the Board of Aldermen met J. II. Tucker, esq., asked that $2.j insurance license tax paid by T. W. I'ostell be re funded. Referred to the finance commit tee. Mr. Tucker also presented a bill of some $21 7 from V. X. Carrington, who wanted to be reimbursed to that extent for the watermelons recently condemned by the Board ot Health. The bill was disallowed and a suit may follow. The city tax list was lormally turned over to the collector. The lire committee made report of the annual inspection of the fire department, saying good wordsJr the firemen and recommending the jurchase of needed equipments. Adopted. the election of a school committeeman (or committcewomau) to take the place given to and declined by A. Kaukin was deferred. The settlement with ex-Tax Collector N. A. Reynolds was referred l the finance committee. On motion of Mr. Jours, Mr. WtstaU was elected mayor pro tern, to take Mayor l'atton's place during the Litter's absence. Waterworks Superintendent Murray was granted 10 days' leave of absence. ' The Mayor and Aldermen, having passed the lirst quarter of their terms, were paid their salaries for that time. A fetter was read from Mrs. S. K. Bu chanan, regarding what she considered damage to her property on South Mam street by widening the street. She placed the damages at $20.0(io to s;io.- uuu, and the letter went to the street committee. Dr. Karl von Ruck wrote to ask a re duction in his water rents, and a water meter was recommended to him. alter Hatch was given use ot the old lire uousc on Market street as it santiiv for one year, on condition that he will put on it a new corrugated iron roof. t.

Brsifl'.l, OF MU4L. .V r.ljtn Held to Court on a Cliari&e of Htealluie It. This morning a warrant was sworn out by S. II. Chedester, of the firm of S. R. Chedester & Son, liefore Justice Frank Carter lor the arrest of Jim West, white, on a charge ot stealing a bushel of meal from this firm, The warrant was placed iu Deputy Sheriff J. M. Morgan's hands for execution, who found and arrested West on Poplar street. West was brought belore Justice Carter and upon examina tion was held to Criminal court in a bond of $200. The deputy and the prisoner then atarteel out to look for a bondsman. When they got in court square near the steps of the court house West stopped and, Deputy Morgan says, uttered threats against the officer and the prose cutors. The deputy turned to speak to a bystander about West's bond, and the latter kept on withhisretnarks, until the deputy asked him to stop. For reply West struck the officer in the forehead with his fist, and the officer in turn caught West and forced him to the ground. At this point I)r. S. W. Battle, Capt. M. . Fagg and several others came up and the officer was pulled off West. As t he officer was pulled oil, West gave him a blow on the temple which raised a welt. Sheriff lliooksliire went into the crowd and secured West and he was taken to jail. Dr. Battle explained that he wished to stop what he thought was a fight, and did uet know that Mr. Morgan was an officer. CHOLERA IN NEW JERSEY I.IIIOK DAY.

C Sept. 1 The fust of September finds the Mountain Park hotel iu its pristine glory, still the ren dezvous of the pleasure seekers. The beautiful Indian summer is casting its siiadows already belore us, and the beau tiful park around the hotel is donning its fall garments, making the months of September and October so intensely in teresting in these regions. The Mountain Park hotel is still re ceiving a number of guests, but the rush seems to be over for the present at least. The departure ot Col. Van Her.thuyson and his lovely daughter. Miss Eleanor ot Columbia, S. C, who have been spend ing July and August at the Mountain Park hotel, is much regretted. In nn other week, Prof. Dietrich, the leading musician of the orchestra, will take a two months' vacation for a trip to the fatherland, while -Miss Mary K. Millard, the accomplishcel pianist and violinist, proposes to spend that time at her home, Hartford, Ct. To both of these accom plished and ever obliging musicians, the many guests of the Mountain Bark, ex press their great sense of obligations, but say only "An Ucvoir." WILL UIVK TENTS. Brilliant ICvent at Hie It.eiltri Parle Lust Kvenlnie The complimentary gcrman at the Bat tery Park hotel last evening, given in honor of Miss Blanche O'Ncale t;f Colum bia and Miss Nina Warren of Savannah, was one of the most brilliant occurrences of the season at this resort. The ball room was prcttilydecorated.thc dancers were handsomely costumed, and the 200 or 300 society people in attendance enjoyed the evening to the utmost. The german was led bv Bradley J. Saunders with Aliss O Ncalc aud by W ru. W. Davics with Miss Warren. 1 he chapcroncs last evening were: Mrs. K. M. Butler, Savannah; Mrs. Col Frank Coxe, Philadelphia; Mrs. Gov ernor Richardson, South Carolina; Mrs General Mabone, Virginia; Mrs. S. P Child, Raleigh; Mrs. Scott, Anniston: Mrs. E. P. Waring. Charleston; Mrs. Dr. Battle. Asheville; Mrs. J. O. Matihewson, Augusta: Mrs. David Jamison, New Orleans; and Mrs. Col. W. A. Metts, South Carolina. Motion for Receiver. The bearing of the motion by W. I. Gwyn and others for receiver of the Ashe ville Park aud Hotel company was re sumed before Jugc Armheld iu the Su perior court this morning. Additional affidavits to those offered yesterday were read from F. Kingsbury Curtis, W. T, Pennimtn and S. W. Battle of the de fendants, and one from W..B. Gwyn for the motion. Judge J. II. Merriinon and V. V. Jones, esq., nreued the case of the piaintmi ana ai. u. carter, esq , ap peared tor tne directors. one: death already from THE DI8KASE. Another suspected Case Mow 1'n der Examination Jersey clly Will Now bv cleaned Hp-Con saltation ol Authorities. Jersey City, N.J., Sept. 2. A case of genuine cholera was discovered here yes terday in the death of Martin Crowe. Surgeon General Wyman and Dr. Hunt of the State Board of Health held a con feience with the city board this morning and decided that nn adequate number of government and State employes should be placed at the service of the city au thorities at once. They will be divided into squads and each will be giycu a dis trict to patrol with authority to inspect all houses. The work of sanitation will begin immediately. Streets will be cleaned and sprinkled with disinfectants. Another suspected cholera case was found here today. The authorities do not think the patient has cholera, but he was sent to the emergency hospital until the case develops sufficiently to allow the physicians to decide. The patient is lohn Lynch. His home is Baltimore. He went to Kearney, N. J., two weeks ago and came here this morning. He was found sick in the street. Washington, Sept. 2. The marine hospital bureau here has little informa tion touching the fatal case of cholera in Jersey City. There seems to be no doubt that Martin Crowe died from genuine Asiatic cholera, for Surgeon General Wyman, now in Jersey City, has tele graphed Surgeon Austin here that the case was such. Every effort is being made to trace the origin of the disease with the view to the adoption of measures to prevent the occurrcuce of any further cases. HOltdi AND SENATE. Sherman Will Favor a Cloture Rule. Washington, D. C, Sept. 2. Consid eration of the rules was resumed in the House today. The first amendment pre sented was one cutting ofl the power of a single member to object to a request for unanimous consent. This was de feated by a bare quorum: veas, 02; nays, 127. In the Senate today notice was given in by Voorhees, chairman of the finance committee, that he would next Monday move that hour of meeting of the Sen ate should be 11 a. m., instead of 12 m. and that from that on he expected con sideration of the bill to repeal the Sher man act to proceed from hour to hour. He added significantly that he had an old fashioned idea of the will of the major ity being carried out. The repeal bill was, at Voorhees' sug gestion, laid aside informally, as no Sen ator desired to speak on it today. The House urgency and deficiency bill was reported aud passed with some small amendments. Dolph proceeded to ad dress the Senate iu favor of the bill in troduced bv him appropriating $500, 000 to enable the Secretary of the Treas ury to enforce the Lumcse exclusion act. Should the prositiou to establish clos ure in the Senate by means of the pre vious question or otherwise come before that body for action, it is understood it would not be antagonized by Senator Sherman, who was generally considered the strongest opponent of the adoption of such a rule, but would possibly have his active support. He is said to be now of the opinion that in this manner only can the majority of a legislative body best assume and exercise that responsi bility with which it has been clothed by the people. A WORLD WIDE STORM. The UouielcHs tlouili Caioliulaus Blneu Have Mielter. Washington, Sept. 2.
