There was a bare quorum in the city hall yesterday afternoon when the time for the meeting of the Board of Aldermen arrived. The missing members were( Messrs. Jor.es and J. M. Gudger. The latter, however, came in later. Mayor Patton presided, ar.d the meeting was held in the Mayor's office as it was more comfortable than the council chamber. The Mayor reported that arrange ments had been made for the repair of the sidewalks on French Broad avenue, Poplar and Mountain streets, and that Dr. J. A. Burroughs, elected.last "week to the position of city physician! had ac cepted. The street committee, to whom was referred the qu- stion ot damages to the property of John V. Starnes at the in tersection of NortU Main and Water streets, reported that it would require about $75 to eive the necessary relief, and recommended that that work be done. The report was adopted, and its carrying out left to the street committee. Blastrd DltftiUHT. Messrs.J. B. Steele und F. B Robinson, who live near the city quatry, entered a protest asainst the manner iu which blasts are set off at the quarry, the evi dent carelessness of the last few days endangering the lives of those living in the vicinity. Complaint against the blasting was made not long ago and the Board took such action as for the time put a stop to showers of rock. The street committee was instructed o meet the gentlemen who complained today and see what decision could be arrived at. C. W. Murphey applied for a crossing to be put across North Beaumont street at Mountain. Referred tar the street committee. David Hughes, who conducts a beef market just beyond the French Broad river, asked permission to move just in side the city liiniis, near the cotton fac tory, lie said the dealers in the market house would not otject, and it would be be a very great accommodation to the mill operatives, who have to go to work about C o'clock a. m. and work till near 7 p. m., and thcrclore have no lime in which to come a mile or more to the city market for their meats. Judge Green also spoke of theconvertience such n mar ket at tbe place indicated by Air. Hughes would be. Alderman Starnes moved reference to the market committte, but received no second, and the question was dropped, although Mr. Starnes said be had 1 ways thought it was a hardship for the factory people to have to come up town to market. A statement read bv Mavor Patton showed that about 33" a per cent, of the work on the streets last week was done by taxpayers who were willing to pay their taxes in that way. Fire Alarm Superintendent Waddell made a. requisition for supplies, discuss ing which Mr. Starnen aw'd it would "be well for the Board committees to keep their eyes on the people serving the city, as some of them would sometimes be come a little extravagant. Tbe requisi tion went to the hre committee with p. t. a. Cancelled coupons of the city's im provement bonds to the amount of nearly $14 000 were -brought in and burned in the presence of the Board by Chairman H. L. Gudger, of the finance committee. LIuk Gun's Case. The Mayor introduced tbe Ling Gun outrage to the Board's attention and said it had gone out in tbe dispatches in such manner as to leave tbe inference that the assault occurred at Asheville and the city ought to clear its skirts of the charge. He read a telegram be bad just had from W. F.-Randolph, of The Citizen, who is at Paint Rock making an invcstiation. The Mayor suggested that Mr. Randolph be allowed to incur some reasonable expense in searching tor the Chinaman. Alderman J. M. Gudger, who is one of the attorneys emploved to prosecute the men arrested for the as sault, said it was a clear case of inhu manity, 6nd a disgrace to tbe United States and to North Carolina. He thought it tbe crowning outrage of the nee in this country. He believed the city would be reimbursed by tbe national government tor whatever it mignt ex pend, but if it should not do this, be would he willine to appropriate the city's money for tflie' purpose, and if there were any objections from tbe lax- payers be would be willing to take it from his own pocket. If he never re ceived a cent for his services, he intended to prosecute the case - to the last, if the facts were as be had them. He was sure the body could be found. Capt. J P. Ssawyer said a few words condemning the assault and thought action should be taken as soon as possible if not by the United States then bv -Asheville. Mr. Cosby then moved that Mr. Ran dolph be authorized to expend a sura not to exceed 50 in tne searcn. xi. l. Gudizer favored civine the case to He tective Deaver, but as Mr. Randolph was already on the spot at work it was decided to leave the case with him. Mr. Starnes seconded Mr. Cosby's motion and it prevailed. Tax Collector Fag recommended the granting of the following exemptions: H. J. Walker and Lawson Miller, error; Arthur Williams, John Good rum, J. L. Goodsnn and Richard Barden, disabil ity; I. E. Rankin, guardian, error; I. L. Murray. I. N. Rocers. F. N. Rogers, A. C. Sexton, II . C. Fagg. O, Coston, and W. H. Shipe, members of the fire de. partuient. H. L. Gudger was opposed to granting exemptions to Messrs. Fogg and f. N. Rogers, on the ground that tbev were city officers under salary. He moved to grant all except those two, but got no second. A discussion ensued which ended in cranting all of the ex emotions except that of Water Superin tendent Murray. ..Mr. Muiray is be yond the poll tax age, but tbe proposi tion was to give him exemption to the amount of bis poll on his property tax. Paper! and Cigars) on SundaT. U. L. Gudger called up the amendment to the Sunday closing ordinance which was shelved between second and bnal readings since July 1. itns was prepared by J. 0. Murphy, sari., and so amends tbe law as to allow tbe sale of newspapers, periodicals and cigsra on Sunday. Speaking to the amendment Mr. Westall said be opposed it. There are men, he said, who like a glass of beer as well as other men like a cigar, and thev might as well get a beer as a cigar on Sunday. He did not believe in a rigid enforcement of the present law that is, he did not think a man should be hauled up and fined for giving a man a cigar on Sunday and getting the money for it on Monday. He was not a stickler for Sab bath laws, but thought there ought to be such laws as would make Sunday a rest day. After the passage of the amendment the opening of tbe general stores might just as well come. If the people were ready for this state of things, however, all right. Mr. Starnes was glad of an opportu nity to vote for the amendment. It made an unfavorable impression upon a stranger when he could not buy even a newspaper here on Sunday. The passage ot the amendment would be an accom modation to the very people Asheville is trying to attract. The vote for passage on final reading was then taken and showed this result: Ayes H. L. Gudger, Starnes, J. M. Gudger. Nays Cosby and Westall. And papers and cigars are once more on tbe Sunday list. The Board decided to meet during the winter at 3 p. m. each Friday. . H. R. Smith and E. R. Shipe were elected members of Hook and Ladder company No. 1. A. a?emr Bills. Bills as follows were approved and ordered paid: J. B.

'Tlie Citizen" Traces I lie Move ments of Ling Gnu Till He Dis appears In the Vicinity of Bnsliv Mountain In a Pitiable Condi tion. Paint Rock. Nov. 25. Two days spent iu traversing tbe mountain paths and back country roads passed over by Ling Gun, the missing Chinaman, and a view of the forest into which he finally disappeared limping from wounds and burdened with age, make a man of the opinion, generally shared in by the peo ple here, that, unless be is Providentially cared for, the Chinaman is dead. Ling Gun was four days and nights on tbe tramp, and only a few hours of the time we know to have been passed under shelter. He went out of sight into Eusby Mountain in a driving rain, barefoot and thinly clad. The weather since that time has been unusually cob and bleak in the bills, and n nc nan survived until now. n last night's fall of the mercury to 0 he must have perished. A searching party of mountaineers with guides, by Asheville's humanity, and headed by The Citizen was organized today .ind will stay out till they find the corpse or become worn out. Randolph.

C, and Mav I lie nest Club Win and Leave as Few Dead ou Hie Field as Ioshible. Springfield, Mass., Nov. 25. The ideal football weather, a cold and clear day, prevailed for the big Harvard-Yale contest this afternoon. The air was sharp, with clear skies, but the bright sun tempered tbe crisp air and rendered the cold bearable to the 20,000 specta tors of the big game. The grounds are in excellent condition, in fact, old foot ball men who have looked them over, say that a better field for a contest could not be wished for. New YoRK.Nav. 25 Manhattan field today will be the scene of oneof the most exciting football contests of the season. It will be the North against the South. Lehigh will battle with tbe pride of the Southern football world, the University of North Carolina. This will be the firs't time in the history of Aniericancollegiale tootball that the men ol Dixie Inud have fought for football honors on Northern fields. Lehigh, flushed with victory over Cornell, will do her best to maintain the reputation of her native state; while the Carolinians will struggle to show that Pennsylvania is not the onlv place in the country where good football is played. Ibe Carolinians are tbe champions ot the South; at least, thev have beaten everything they have played thus far this vear, and they debated every strong team in their country last year and year before. The championship tor the year will be decided iu Richmond on Thanks giving day when the University of North Carolina will play the Uuiversitv of Virginia. UAIIE FIXKD, AHlievllli; Koo'bnllfstH to C.o to Kaaxvllle ThanhSKlvlus Dbti The Asheville Football team will play the boys from the Uuiversity ol" Tennes see Thanksgiving day, at Kuoxville. Prof. E. B.Lewis received yesterday af ternoon a telegram from Luctrcll G. Rice, secretary of the Athletic ass iciation, that settled the matter. The Asheville play ers will leave here next Wednesday aftti- noon on the regular train, and will re turn Friday afternoon. A n umber ot football sports will wish to no down with the Asheville b vs to s e the saint and if a sufficient number of tickrts can be sold a special car will be taken from here tor the exclusive use of the team anri its friends. The fare for the round trip will be only $5.15. The Asheville boys will practice every day twice until tbe day of the game. At 3:30 p.m. there will be a practice and the same thing in tbe Y. M. C. A. gym nasium in the evening. It is hoped and believed that the mountain city's boys can best Dr. Dabnev's kickers.

Tlte President Hard At Work Ou lis M?saaice, And Very Llllle Time Left In Whlcb To Finish It Before Conirress Meets. Washington, Nov. 25 The Presi dent's message is not half finished and he is denying himself to all callers to work upon it. He does not come into his office except on cabinet days. Tuesdays and Fridays, and works late into the night on the message. Heretofore President Cleveland has usually allowed himself six weeks to work on his message. It is supposed he has deferred work on it this year to allow time for some development iu the Hawaiian matters, but the time for'on- gress is so near t hat no longer delay is possible. It is therefore thought prob able that the Hawaiian matter will be treated later in a special message. 1 be Democratic members ot tbe ways and means committee were in consulta tion with Secretary Carlisle at bis resi dence today. The tariff bill is substan tially completed, but Chairman Wilson prefers, before it is made public, that the Secretarv of the Treasury shall pass judgment upon it and giye it the stamp ot bis approval. T II IS LEHIQH STRIKE. Its Backbone) Cracked, If Mot Entirely Broken. Jersey City, Nov. 25. If appearances go for anything the backbone of the strike on the Lehigh Valley road at this end of the line is prac tically broken. The officials of the road say it is; tbe strikers maintain that the outward show of activitv on the part of tbe company is simply carried on to deceive. tHAMOKlx, Pa., Nov. 25. Coal trains are moving between Shatnokin and De iano this morning and the collieries about Mount Carmel are likely to resume oper ations Monday. A number of Lehigh strikers are returning to work.

It is no less useful after shaving, especially where the skin is tender or inclined to be' sore. The city barbers have found this out and it can now be found atjmoat of the shops. It has become to popular that others have tried to imitate it, not only in narcc. but appearance and properties. We have succeeded in getting the coined word "Camphorline," trade marked by the eovcrnment at Washington, so that we can now protect our rights. The genuine may be known'.by an unbroken seal.
