AiiliMuikel Ordluance Killed Bi a Vo'e of 4 to m leililous From Ladle. Plivaiclunit And Market Abolition met its death, the late it deserved, ycsteiday afternoon at the meeting ot the Board of Aldermen. The corpse was coffined, the lid lastcmd down by Alderman Jones with the weight of public opinion uud Aldermen II. I. Guelder tind T. C. Stnrnes and D. M. Luther, esq , were chief mourners. Now the procession bas passed and the (ues iou is one that need give i he people little alarm, at least so long ns the Hoard is constituted as tit present. A meeting of the Joint Bon;d was htld 6rst yesterday, lor the purpose of ac cepting the bond made by M. U Kelly to secure the citv against loss if he were paid $2,000 of the guarantee retained from the amount due him as contractor for the pipe line. The meeting was at tended by a full Hoard of Aldertaen and Advisors McCollum, Nichols ana Red wood. The bond was tendered and ac cepted. The Aldermen then held their meeting, the first business being the election ol City Tax Collector Fagg to the position ol marshal, in order that hemay attend to the collection ot paving assessments This takes the woik off Chief of Folic Harkins' hands, and that official is glad ol it. John B. Steele asked a permit to shoot chickens which his neighbors would not ket p oil' his property. II. L. Guriger op posed the permit, because Mr. Steele and others would not let the city "shooc" rock in the quarry near Mr. Steele's Permit was not granted, although Mr. Westall suggested that the applicant, instead ol shooting chickens, should set a Steele trap for i hem. The Abolition Mpeclre. The giim ghost of Abolition here arose, when Mayor Patton called up in its regular order the ordinance offered lust wetk having the effect of abolishing themarkil. Mr. Jones off- red a resolu tion instructing the market cominil'ee to consider the rearrangement ot the stalls (i he heel stalls around the sides and hucksters' stalls in the centre), thus crushing one ot the hones of dissension and to report rules lor the governing ol the market. Speaking to the a' ohtion ordinance Mr. Jones said the market1 had not had a lair t rial. The Hoard would be doing violence to every senst of riuht to abandon it. He regarded it ns a great convenience. Whether it i making money nr not is nor the ques tion to lie asked. It is a public ntccssitv like the water works, and it is the dut ol the Hoard to keep it up, even though it cost the citv $1,01)0 t'. do so. "I' w abolish it," Mr. Joins said, "we will dis regard the wishes ol the people and tin lawmakers who established it. U is our duty to sustain it. lis ahaudontncni would he valuable to men interested in vacant houses, hut I am not thus ititci- estcd, and there are thousands here who are not interested in vacant houses, and to abolish i he market would be to help pei haps a dozen owners ol property." Thlrt alone Isa tin ler. Mr. Jones here called attention to the fact that under tbelaw.il the market house should be abandoned and the building converted to other uses any creditor of the citv could force the prop erty to a sale m order that his claim might be satisfied. Necessary public property could not be sold, but when the city ubandoncd the market, which wasa public necessity, it would become the duty ol the city to sell L tic property and .impropriate it to cue pivuient ol anv Kbls. " I lie abandonment of the market." Mr. loncs concluded, "will result in a hsapp ointment to the public, who lei I a pride in the institution, to satisly a lew people with vacant houses. Don't let us sacrifice the property or disappoint the public or let 10 or even 50 men come in and say because they have cmi)t houses the market ouiiht to he abol ished, li we cannot do better let us in vest $1,000 from the city's lunds to keep this market before the public for its con venience." I'eiKlotiM for Hie market. Mr. Jones was followed by J. IJ. Mur phy, esq., who, speaking for several occti pants of the market and many citizens of Asheville, presented one petition Irom city physicians, two Irom ladies and one Irom citizens, all asking that the market be allowed to remain as it is.

Bulldlusr In Hear of The Ragle Warehouse Burned. The fire department was called out last night about 11:30 by an alarm Irom box 462. The tire was in the building in rear of the Kagle warehouse on Valley street. The house was well nigh destroyed when the companies reached the scene, and attention was turned to the saving ol the big warehouse This building caught, but the bhue was put out before a great amount of damage had been done. Many of the skylights in the .varchouse, made of i-ineb glass, were cracked by the heat, some of these being im.re than 100 Icet from the burning budding. The house destroyed belonged to C. C. MeCarty. It was a two-storv structure and had been used as a dwelling and storehouse, although at the time of the tire it had no occupant. It is believed iv some that the fire was caused by a urounded electric wire. There were sev eral wires in the bu lding. Mr. McCnrty's house was insured for 1,300 with Bianch & Gash $1,000 in the Scottish Union and $300 in the Im perial. The warehouse is insured lor $5 000 with Aston, Rnwls oi Co. The damage to this building will amount to .ib ut $500. A quantity ot tobacco be longing to the American Tobacco com pany and Smith, Baird & Co. was in sured with Branch & Gush, but this was not hurt. The warehouse belongs to the Ashe ville Tobacco and Improvement com pany, and T E. Gordon, secretary and treasurer of the company, asks The Citizen to thank the firemen for tbeir heroic work in protecting the building. UK1NU THK EUITUHK! Col H, C. Huut In Ht.

Tlie Uviuncmttc Fariv, The Audi lurHavH, Ix Above lClilier Vance or RaiiHoiu -HesfutH Their Ate aolutc Kliclit To Name Ap polniet a. The Cnizt:x today met State Auditor Furman and asked his opinion ol Sen i tor Vance's letter in the Simmons mat ter. Mr. Fnrtnan at mice expressed both suiDrise and regret that the distinguished Senator should object to the confirma tion of a good and true Democrat, on account of personal reasons. "The un fortunate fact," said Mr. Funnan, "of a difficulty between Senators Vance and Ransom is apparent in the statement of Senator Vance. The two gentlemen have received too many honors from the peo ple of the State for them to allow theii personal preferences for State appoint ments to cause stub antagonism as will hut t the party organism of trie State With all my high respect lor both gentle men and no man can excel me in my respect for either neither nor both nre above the Democratic parly of North Carolina. "The difficulty in the s: lection of ap pointments, seems to be a personal mat ter wiih the di-tinguishcd Senators. In deed, Senator Vance lays it down ns a perogative ol a Senior to t he exelns on of any other citiz n ol his own Slate His constitutional right to as-ist in con firming as a Senator does not, in my opinion, necessarily carry with it the absolute power and right ol selec tion. Whatever his' preferences may have been or the preferences ol Senntnt Ransom, or of the other members ol Congress. 1 for one at least, will resent their absolute right to name the men, who are to hold the ofln cs by Presiden tial appointment in the State of North Carolina. In other words, while these gentlemen are expected to be the medium nf approach to the President, in the matter of appointments, they are rot necessarily the only citizens of the Stati who om.'ht tn n nf li thai line ionan and be heard by him. "I deeply reuivt that Senator Vanci has suggested in his letter a claim fo such a prerogative lor nn mbi rs of C ti gress. I might 'as well state that it is this personality of senators and re pre sentntives in the seleeti n of npp dateis which is creating tile ditVi.uhy in tin party in North Car lina. Instead o helping Democrats who are Dcm cr; t and who have rendered the longesi ser vice to the party, it stems to he a con flict between senators and memb rs as to their individual or pirsonal fiieip's My opinion is that the parly is greatu than all our senators, represent a i ivi s ot other officers, and wort li a g'Cnt ilea1 more to theSt i,tc. In the selection nl appointees men who have been tin truest ought to be selected n ganlkss ol the personal preferences of tin' distin guished gentlemen who happen to rep resent ns in cither the Senate or the House. Any North Carolinian who isa rec- igniz d Democrat ought to he entitled to be heard, in the ndvocaev ol any man or office. Personally I desire th it Sen ators Ransom and Vance shall stn where they are so long as tlu-v live, hough not professing to erdorse wh it either may or may not do, but 1 cannot agree with the suggestion that they alone shall be heard so lar as the selec tion of the appointees from the State art concerned." Advice to Hfiinlor Vance. Washington, Feb. S. All the North Carolinians here, apparently without exception, condemn Senator a nee s light on Collector Simmons, and the lew who think he may have bad good rea sons lor hi" com sc in the beginning say he ought now to waive them lor public and party advantage.
