brick buildings.
Dr. Morpliew's drug store is on fire,
also Wanton's and Thos. Merfd's varie

possible to the people of the burning
town. The fire, ucc irding to the inlor
iration he gathered, hud Stat ted in
very old building adjoining the jail,
known as ''the Ark," and was said to
have been caused by a defective flue.
The alarm was given just as the town
people were M'ing to cMurch. Every
body went to the scene and began light
ing the 11 nne that were to almost de
stroy the town There were no mode or
means of liglning lire, and the only thing
to be diii'C was to vrgun'zc bucket
brigades and rely upon the wells about
the place. These, of couise, were soon
drawn dry. There were 28 prisoners in
the jail, all of whom were taken out
safely before the building burned.
The blaze rapidly spread, taking in
nearly all of the buildings on either side
of Main street. The people teemed in
their excitement to lose their heads mer
chandise was taken from building and
deposited in the street between walls ol
flames to be consumed. Where houses
were some distance apart the fences be

thus communicate the fire to adjoining
buildings.

The Fire Committee Reports That It
Can Tut In the Line forflSO-8treet(
Sidewalk and Polo Question Before
the Aldermen.
A quorum of the Board of Aldermen
was secured Saturday afternoon and a
meeting was held, attended by Messrs.
Blair, Hull, Jones and H. L. Gudger.
Mrs. C. L. Pleasants appeared before
the body to report that the sewer pipes
leading from ber store buildings on Court
Place to the main sewer on West College,
bad been broken by the city's steam roller.
She thought the city should put the line
in as good condition as it was before be
ing broken. Referred to the atreet com
mittee for a report.
Mrs. Pleasants also asked the erection
of a rock wall In front of her property on
French Broad avenue, on accoont of
damage caused by a deep cut in the ave
nue at that point. The question was
left open.
The street committee, to which was
i relerred the application of F. A. Sondley
lor a rebate on the street assessment
against his property at the intersection
ol Patton avenue andCburcb street, was
unable to agree. The Mayor submitted
a report recommending that, in view of
the large amount of the assessment in
proportion to the area, one-half of the
assessment on the Church street side be
remitted. Mr. Ulair dissented from this,
and the Board ordered that Mr. Sond
ley's request be not granted.
The street committee reported on re
quests for sidewalks on Jefferson Drive,
Roberts strret, Catholic Hill and Senry
and East streets to the effect that while
such improvements would promote the
public comfort, it regretted that they
could not be made within the appropria
tion set apart for street work during the
present year. The committee recom
mended that the applications be consid
ered favorably and tne worn done as
soon as the finance committee can see its
way to make special appropriation
therefor. The report was adopted.
The fire department committee reported
that it had made a careful investigation
and felt sure that it could put up a tele
phone line between the Cltv Hall and the
pumping station for $150, and work
whs ordered to proceed.
The Mayor submitted a report on the
pole nuisance in the city, which was re
ferred to thecityattorneyfor report as to
the powers ol the Hoard. The report esti
mated that there were 300 poles which
were of no advantage to anyone, a seri
ous irjiirv to the interests of the public
nnn a elishgurement to tne city.
A. .ennkin appeared on behalf of those
proK'rty owners on Cumberland avenue
who at Inst meeting asked tor a sewer
line on the avenue. Mr. Rankin said the
owners were ready to pay about $600
of the requisite $1,000. The finance
committee could not recommend the ex
penditure of lunds for this purpose at
present, as the money could not be
spared. The subject was left for future
action.
C. U. Mclntvre, 72 South Main, and
ohn O'Donnell, 23 'South Main, were
granted liquor license for six months, be
ginning Jan. 1. The vote was a tie, and
the Mavor cast the deciding vote.
Mr Dent of the Asheville Gas company
asked lor permission to repair pipes on
the different streets as occasion required.
The Board then adopted a resolutioa to
the effect that persons wishing to tear
up streets must apply to the street com
mittee, with plans, and In case the com
mittee cannot agree the matter shall go
before the Board. When work is done
there must be a contract and the persons
having the work done must pay for the
services of the city engineer, under whose
supervision the work must be done.
The application ol S. rinestein lor per
mission to erect a residence on Market
street was referred to the fire committee.

THE BEST RID HY l(,51I.(li.
John Stewart and Others Oct the Now
Bonds for tiold.
Washington, Nov. 26. The Secretary
of the Treasury hi s accepted the pro
p isal of John A. Stewart, president ol
the United States Trust company, and
bis associates to purchase the entire
issue of 5 per cent bond amounting to
$50,000,000 at 117.077 with uecrued
interest from November 1. The proceeds
of the bonds under this bid will be $49,
517 62 greater than they would be if the
other highest bids were accepted.
A very impoitant advantage to thr
government in accepting this bid is the
tact that all the gold will be furnished
from the outside, and none drawn from
the trcacurv. It is more convenient and
less expensive to the department to deul
with one party, rather than with many.
New York. Nov. 26 It is stnted on
excellent authority that the gold lor the
new issue of bonds will be furnished bv
all the national bants in New York,
Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and San
Francisco, and Harvey Fisk und Snns,
Drexel, Morgan & Co. and the First Na
tional bunk, New York, representing the
bond Syndicate, will be the only sellers
of bonds, which will be effected at 119
subject to change. It is expected the
supply of bonds will be quickly ex
hausted. THE HAUVABD-YALE GAME.
The Former Men aro Soro, Physically
and Moutnlly.
Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 26 The Har
vard men nre feeling rather nettled over
the result of Saturday's game. The men
all feel that the Harvard team outplayed
the Yale team, and but for "that Yale
luck" and Umpire Boviard's decisions
the victory would be where it rightfully
belongs.
Dr. Brooks, the Harvard head coach
says that the reports of injuries to play
ers were greatly exaggerated. Brewer's
leg is badly swollen, but not much woise
than it would have been fromdailv prac
tice. Wrightington's collar bone was not
broken but just dislocated. Hnllowcll's
nose is badly swollen, but that is the
only injury besustuined. Ileand Wiiiht

MARRIAGE OF THE CZAR IN ST.
PETERSBURG.
lie May Bo Sworn In, But That Doesn't
slKiilIy.
Birmingham, Nov. 26. Will there or
will there not be an attempt made by
Kolb and bis followers to set up e
dual government in Alabama on Decern
ber 1, the date fixed by law lor the in
auguration of the governor? That is
the absorbing question in this State just
now.
The gencruWooiniaii among the right
thinking people is that while a feeble
Hurt may be made bv Kolb and a lew
ol his most trusted lieutenants to declare
him governor, it will amount to nothiug
sertuus, probably no more than the ad
ministration ol an oath to kulbbv some
justice oi tne peace.

Magnificent Spectacle-All the Court
Officials And Foreign Ambassadors
Present Cannona Boomed And the
Crowd Tnrned Out By Thousands.
St. Pitersburo, Nov. 26. The wed
ding day of the Csar broke cloudy and
cheerless. Troops beaded by bands of
music were on the march from all direc
tions at a very early hour and occupied
all the avenues having access to the win
ter palace, massing in a strong force in
front ol the palace where the marriage
of Czar Nicholas II. and Princess Alix of
Hesse-Darmstadt was to take place.
Long before dawn the people begun
flocking to the palace square which was
soon densely packed. By 8 o'clock the
streets were thronged with the populace
in gala attire. Along the Newski Pros
pect from Autchkoff Palace to the Great
Morscai, leading to the Alexander, the
roadways were lined with people.
closely packed, awaiting the passage of
the Czar and the Prince of Wales with
their suites from Autchkoff palace.
A salute of 20 guns announced
that the bridegroom had started from
AutchotT palace, and tome dozen closed
carriages wheeled swiftly along the
route to the winter palace amid ine eaten t
cheers of the populace. The Cur and
attendants arrived there at ten.
In St. George's hall were assembled the
council of the empire, foreign ambassa
dors and imperial ministers and their
wives. In the concert hall were the
grand mistress of the court and ladies
of honor. The ladies of honor assisted
Princess Alixlin completing her toilette
before finally assembling in the concert
hall. The bride with the Csarina had
driven without ceremony from the palace
of the Grand Duke Sergius where the
Czarina bus been staying since the tun
era! of her husband.
At 11:30 Prince Dolgoruuki, grand

was ready, and the Princess Alix, her
train borne by four court dignitaries,
two on each side and the ex.remity of
the garment held by the grand chamher
lin, entered the hall. She wore a jeweled
crown and a robe of white brocaded silk
with a mantle of strawberry colored vel
vet crimmed with a double row of er
mine.
As the procession to the cathedral was
being formed 51 guns were fired from the
lortress. The spectacle was one of the
utmost brilliancy as the procession de
filed from the gorgeous Malachile ball
Hiid traversed the armorial balls, throut: h
the entire length and breadth of the
palace. When the procession reached
the cathedral it was met at the entrance
by the Metropolitan of St. Petersburg,
the holy synod and the court clergy,
bearing crosses, holy water and sacred
books. The Metropolitan conducted the
Czar to a position upon thedaisincenter
ofchancel. As the Emperor took his place
the Czarina led Princess Alix to him and
placed her at bis left band. Tbe Czarina
took her place at the right of the dais,
and the marriage service in use in the or
thodox Greek church was begun.
Tbe ceremony was ol the most impress
ive character and lasted nearly two
hours.
