JJQ D j SCENES AT THE LAST AI.UKK MANIC MKET1NU. Ionic luusually Plain Talk Be tween E. O. Carrier Aud Alder ruau Jonca The Market House Conies) Near Causluir a Tie. Alderman J. M. Guilder was tin-only Alderman that was not present at the yesterduv ufternoou meeting, which was one of the liveliest that the Reformers have held, and which went along with a "zipp"that at times caused things in general to s'aslc. The missing member was present ut minu'e-reading but was culled away soon artcr. The debt of the city to the West Ashe ville Improvement company for street lighting was tin earlv topic of consid eration. Readers of The Citizen will understand this case if they have kept trace of the doings of the board. (Juite recently the partus to the ditlcrencc got a step nearer together and it was prom ised 12. G. Carrier, president of the cotn panv, that part of the money should be LIFE IN THE OLD paid Inm soon. Mr. Currier appeared at.'askinir four tilings yesieraay s meeting iiuu uiquirea as ir whether be might get a payment on account. Mayor 1'utton explained that the mutter was in tU'.'tinancc committee's hands for report, and that as Mr. Car rier hud made no return or statement as to his business in the city the committee could arrive ut no idea as to the tax which the company is due the citv, which was to be deducted from the bill, and that a report could not be made until some such statement was rendered. Mr. Jones Why not hear that state ment now ? and maybe we can arrange to pay Mr. Carrier something. The Mayor Because one of the mem bers H. KedwoodJ ol the committee is not here. Mr. Carrier As I understand it, he is not a member of the board of Aldermen at all. A Member Still The Mayor but he is a member of the finance committee, and un active mem ber. Mr. Carrier said his company had made no rclutn of taxable property in June because at that time there was little or nothing in the way nf their incan descent system for taxation. Moreover, the city in its spctial levy charged the Wist Asheville company twice as much, the speaker said, as the other electric company was charged. His company would not object to paving any equitable tax. Mr. Jones Well, it is not right to dis criminate. The Mayor But it is not discrimina tion. The one company is located out ol the city and pays no other tax here, while the other pnys all its ax here. Mr. aiaruet) Grows Facetious. Mr. Starncs Docs the Bjard collect taxes now ? lias Mr. Pugg asked the Board to take charge (A this mutter? I think we ought to pay Mr. Carrier some thing if we can do so. Mr. Wcsiull thought that in justice to Mr. Carrier the Hoard ought to pay what it could on account. The Mayor then suggested that $1,000 be paid. Mr. Gudger caught the idea and moved the payment ol that amount. The mo tion was carried. This having been disposed of the Mayor showed last month's lighting bill ol the company, which bill was not itemized. lie submitted that the finance committee c nld do nothing with the bill in that condition. The lumping of the bill was explained bv Mr. Carrier, he claiming that in making up the former bills, deductions for poor lights were made; then, on top of this the finance committee made deductions to accord with thechii f of police's report, virtually, according to this slutement, amounting to a double deduction. To avoid this he lump bill was rendered. Mr. lones about this time remarked hat Mr. Carrier seemed to think the ity wanted to t'ike advantage of him. Plain Talk, Certain . Mr. Carrier It not only wants to; it has done it. Mr. Jones (warmly) You" are verv much mistaken, sir. My kuuwlcdgc of these gentlemen with whom I am us sociated assures mc that they arc all anxious to do you full justice at the same time protecting the city. You arc too suspicious. II you will come uu fuirly and squarely, 1 am sure it will not take long to get a settlement ol the mat ter. The Mayor Gentlemen, I suggest that this discussion end here. Mr. Carrier drew from his pocket u paper, seemingly a copy of the finance committee's report soon after the advent ol the Kelormers to the effect that no contract could be fouud between the city and the light company. He asked : "Is not that enough to make a muu suspicious ?" Mr. Jones I signed that report. No original of the contract was fouud, but a copy of the contract. Mr. Carrier The contract was in the hands of the former city attorney. Mr. Jones It was your business to bring it here. Your withholding of the data at tnut time lclt the impression that you were afraid to trust the Board ol Aldermen, which is not the proper spirit to show. I confess that when that report was made I was inclined to think you were trying to practice fraud. Your whole conduct ncloie the board at that time was such as would arouse a Sus picion in the breast of any man that you were practicing a fraud upou the city. In closing Ins exceedingly plain talk, although he was seen to be talking with the inteusest earnestness. Mr. ones dis claimed uny feeling in the matter and said some good things about what Mr. Carrier bud done lor this section. Mr. Carrier, during this very unusuul scene, tl lie were made to smart under the words ol Mr. Jones, gave little evi dence of it in his outward expression. He explained that he had been misun derstood as to the "advantage" the city ! had taken of him. 1 tie advantage he1 meant was in the apparent double de duction for imperfect lights. And thus the incident, nn almost unprecedented one in the history of the staid old Citv Dads, passed. Stuaau Ibe Mark!? Alderman Starncs secured the floor and gave the market house tl dig. He said the keeping of the market with strict rules concerning the snlc of fresh meats, etc., worked as a iiarusnip upon people who had to come so tar for their pur- chnsei. Grocers told him they were being injured, while the dealers in the market were dissatisfied, lie did not iK.A i'v, - know but that it would be a good idea lu uiftlliuuu mc .miic aa u IIUI rc tluu rent it tor some cither purpose. To this end he m ide a motion to the effect that the market bouc committee be instructed to report upon the propriety of aban doning the market house. While Mr. Starnes framed his words on paper Mr. Gudger moved that the former .be made a member of the committee. This carried and Mr. Starncs was con sidered to be chairman, which honor he accepted by saung he had had little committee work to do lately and would work unv where. Hut, alas! Mr. ones jocularly suggested that the building be mane a piuce ior reiugees irom aoutn Carolina to stay in. anil s-nd for Batson and Tillman be allowed to carry on 9 barroom there. lie then slated a humorous umendmctit to Mr. Stnrnes' motion amidst the laughter of the spectators I'he mover of the original, however, took the 11 or, made the point that Mr. Jones was out of order, and the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. Starncs' motion then being put was deleated by th' vote: Ayes, Starncs and Cosbv; noes, Gudgir, Jones and Wcstall. Mr Gudger exorcssed himself as satislicd that the market was a white elephant. Plauk Walk wanted. Rev. L. II. Baldwin and L. B. Alexan der bore in n petition with 18 signatures. The extension ol Philci sticet from Bailey street to South side avenue; the plunk walk on liailcv extended to Phifcr, the walk on French broad avenue extended to and down I'hiter to bailev, and a walk on McDow ell street between South Mam and Southside avenue. Mr. Starncs offered substitute to Mr. lones' motion to refer the application to the strict and finance committees lor report, to the effect that the sidewalks be put down without report, but there was a second lacking and the original moti m pre vailed. Concerning the settlement with the Asheville Loan, Construction and Im. provem'-nt company lor sewer lines ap propriated by the city, A. Rankin, rep resenting the company, heard the ques tion postponed a wick, a motion of Mr, Jones being to reler to City Attorney I Sonrtlcv for advice as to the powers ol the Board under the money-borrowing act of 1891. W. G. Corpcuing asked the consent of the board to get copies ol City lingincer Lee's notes ol cross s ctious used while i he grading and paving was being none lie was inlornied that these records were public-free, and the board could have no objection. TIlONe AHHt-HHllienlM. Chief of Police II. irkins and Tax Col hctor I'agg were instructed to make de mands for the first payment on the as sessments for street paving on those streets where the installment is due, so that the city might waive none of its rights, but to take no lurther steps until ufler the next meeting. The recent U'5 per cent, reduction in rents ol stalls on the north side of Central market, originally in effect for two months, was on Mr. Westall's motion made cITictivc mi' il the lirst ol June, The street committee was in lornied ol 'request for crossings on Chest nut street anil the position ol an upright stone that ought to he at the corner, but is instead in the mi Idle ol the walk on College street at Oak. The finance committee was asked for a report ns to the possibility of paying some of the m.:nev due old city olhcials. Aciloii of I He II of H. Approved.

Mr. Cleveland Sava Tbe Vkuole Matter Is) In Tbe Hands) of Con gress And WIIIU la To Be Qalea cent. Washington, Jan. 13. Immediately after tbe reading of yesterday's journal the President's message transmitting the Hawaiian correspondence to Congress, was laid before the House. The House then went into committee of the whole (Richardson, Tenn., in thecbair) for con sideration of the tariff bill, Mr. I'ickler being the first sneaker ol tbe day. In his letter sf transmittal the Presi dent sends copies of all dispatches from our minister at Hawaii except such as have been heretofore transmitted to Cong'css. The message says that the last instructions to Minister Willis are dated yesterday, They say, among other things: "Tbe President sincerely regret that the provisional government refusrt to acquiesce in the conclusion which his sense of right and duty and a due regard forour national honor constraimd him to reach and submit as measure of justi. e to the people of the Hawaiian Islands and their disposed sovereign. While it is true that tbe provisional government was created to exist only until the Islands were annexed to the I'nited S ates; that the Queen finally. but reluctantly, surrendered to the armed force of this government, illegally quarteri d in Honolulu; and that repre sentatives of the provisional government ( which realized its impotency and was anxious to get control of the Queen's means of delense) assured her that, if she would surrender, ber case would be subsequently considered by the United States, the President has never claimed that such action constituted biro an ar bitrator in the technical sense, orautbor ized him to act in that capacity between the provisional government and tbe i Jueen. ... In a note which tbe Ha. wniian minister of foreign affairs ad dressed to you on the 23rd., ult, it is stated in .effect that even it the constitutional government was subverted by the action of the Ameri can Minister and an invasion by tbe military forces of the United States, President Cleveland s authority is lim ited to dealing with our own unfaithful officials, and that he can take no steps looking to a correction of the wronc done. Tbe President entertains a differ- nt view of his responsibility and dutv I'he subversion of the Hawaiian govern ment by the abuse ol tbe authority ol he I'nited States was in plain violation of international law and rcipiired the President to disavow and condemn th. act of our offending officials, and within the limits of his constitutional power to endeavor to restore tbe lawful author ity. " our reports show that, on lurther relleetion, the (Jueen gave her unqualified issent in writing to the conditions sag, gested, but that the provisional govern, ment refuses to acquiesce in tbe Presi, dent's decision. Tbe matter now being in the bands of Congress, tbe President will keep that body fully advised of the situation and will lay beiore it, from tiir to time reports received from you In ..e meantime, while keeping tbe de partment fully informed of tbe course of events, you will, until further notice. consider that your special instructions upon this subject have been lully com plied with."
