The Inception of the movement which has developed Into the board of trade was spoken of In the report, and the good which has been accomplished. President Nichols asked for united ef fort to make AshevUle one of the most wide-awake, progressive cltlea of the Southland. He said "While the board of director appreciates the fact thai AshevUle is a convention city and re sort for pleasure and health seekers, and that our advantages along these lines should be advertised to the world, yet we feel It our duty to provide for a more steady and substantial Income, and to this end we have been working for the establishment of more industrial enterprises. 'We have a large river front which is easily accessible to the railroad by means of sidetracks, and on which a dozen or more large factories could be located. We have negotiations pending with two or three manufacturing con cerns and feel that the eyes of north ern manufacturers are turned this way. ith the electrical developments which will materialize within the next few' months, we ought to see a great growth along Industrial lines during the next year." ' President Nichols commended the park committee for its work and ad vised the appointment o a strong com mttee to make a campaign for more parks and shade trees. There should be several small parks, and he suggested a committee to urge upon the aldermen the purchase of two more sprinkling carts, as some of the most thickly pop ulated and prettiest Btreets are never sprinkled. He thanked the Southern for courte sies and aid in getting conventions here. Secretary B. M. Jones read his fin ancial report as follows: Receipts: Balance as per last annual report, $450.09.

Repairs and additions to the amount of $25,000 have been made. ' Five buildings cost $10,000 and over. 19 cost from $5000 to $10,000, 41 cost from $3000 to $5000, 62 cost from $1500 to $3000 and 31 from $1000 to $1500.

Frank Carter reported for the legis lative committee that the board had been chartered, quite broadly. Also that they had Investigated the present statutes as to the power of the corpo ration commission relating to telephone rates and decided that the present powers are sufficient. The next report was that of the com mlttec of forestry, which Dr. Ambler read. The report recited the preliminary work done for the park, the reporU of secretary of agriculture, president's message, Senator Prltchard'i bill. which has been published In detail The possibilities of the park to the region were dwelt on, and the object lesson made by the recent floods In fa vor of It emphasized. The report also spoke of the approaching visit of Sec retary Wilson and his party, and closed with "At the beginning of the move ment plans were outline which It was suposped would take five years to ac complish. We have been at work but one year nna seven months and are today at the point which we hoped to reach In four years; moreover, our plana as originally outlined have never been deviated from, and we hav never been turned down " The committee on membership's re port was as follows: Membership, July 1, 1900. 162; died, 1; moved out of town, 2; expelled for son (Continued on Page 2). James C. Cooper w.as killed yesterday afternoon about I o'clock while at tempting to board the Incoming Mur phy train at Buxton street. Mr. Cooper' had been employed by the AshevUle Transfer company just a week this time, although he had pre viously been employed there. His duties were to meet Incoming train just out of town for baggage. He always caught the Murphy train at the junction across the river, where they have to stop. Yesterday he was late, and couldn't get to the junction, so ho waited at the . Buxton street crossing. The engineer saw him and motioned for him not to attempt to board the train on account of the Bpeed, but he did. He caught the front hand rail of the rear coach, but his feet missed the step and were swung into the truck, where they were caught and he was pulled irreslstably onto the track. The train was b topped very suddenly, but not until he hud been dragged un der the wheels some distance. The wheels had run on his body when stopped, and the train was backed oft and the bodytaken out. His chest and ribs were badly mangled and broken. and his bead and feet were also bruised. The body ws at once taken to Noland Brothers' undertaking rooms, where the coroner's Inquest was held. A number of people on the train and bystanders saw the accident and were examined. The jury decided that the deceased met bis death by his own neg ligence. The body was at once taken to Noland home. Mr. Cooper was 18 years old, a son of Mrs. Hannah Cooper of No. 1 Gray Gables ,and was bright, energetic and intelligent and liked by every one who knew him, and waa considered thor oughly competent In what he under took. His future seemed very bright, and the blow Is a particularly sad one to hla mother, who expected much of him, and to his brother, who was very much attached to htm. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock. WILL NOT STOP IN ASHEVILLE Secretary Wilson and Party Will go Direct to West ern Counties. Dr. C. P. Ambler, secretary of the Appalachian National Park associa tion, this morning received the follow ing telegram from Chapel Hill: "Greatly regret engagements of Washington parties 'make another,, change of plan necessary. Must pro ceed over Murphy railroad Wednesday afternoon without stopping at Ashe vUle. Letter." ,,HOIJMES. The Information tn the telegram la a cause for much regret It had been hoped to make the stay of Secretary Wilson anti-party In AshevUle a pleas ant one, and, a stated In The Citizen, a program had been arranged which Included a drive over the Biltmor es tate and a reception at the Battery Park. It Is supposed that the letter referred to will give the details of the change of plan. FREE-DELIVERY ROUTES. MESSRS. MOODY AND PHMBER- TON LOOK OVER GROUND. CONCERT ON FOURTH. FIRST REGIMENT BAND WILL GIVE ONE AT CASINO. Thursday evening, July 4, et 8:39, the First Regiment band will give a concert at the Swannanoa casino. The following will be the program: March, Paul Revere's Ride. Overture, Amazon. (a) Hearts and Flowers (Flower song.) '(b) Manana (a Chilian dance). Grand selection from "Faust." Waltz. Lily of the Nile. Song, "In Old Madrid." Excerpts from "Robin Hood." Solo for trombone, R. Hocklns, "The Holy City." . Serenade, Idol of My Heart. A Coon Band Contest. An admission price of 25 cents will be charged, the proceeds to go to the band. After the concert there will be a dance, and it Is hoped there will be a good attendance. Everybody who dances knows what a good hall the casino is. Then coupled with a big band playing stirring music there cer talny ought to be "a sound of revelry by night." There Is no doubt in the minds of the promoters of the band that AshevUle will have the finest military band ever organized hers. It will be a great cred it to the city, and It is most earnestly hoped that the citizens of AshevUle will take an interest In It and help the band either financially or otherwise. The band would like very much to play on the square once or twice a week; as they did a few years ago, and If all the business men In that vicinity would chip in a couple of dollar a month this could be realised. Congressman Moody has received the following telegram from J, L. Pember ton at Knoxvllle; "Will you meat me in AshevUle next Tuesday noon for a conference about rural free delivery in your district Answer." This arrangement was satisfactory to Congressman Moody and he was to meet Mr. Pcmberton this afternoon after the latter's arrival on the after noon train, Mr. Pemberton Is an In spector of the free rural delivery sys tem and is coming here to lay out the system in this district. He and Mr. Moody will go first to Beaverdum and from there to Flat Creek, Reems Creek and Leicester, and will then go to Haywood county, where It Is said, nearly all the people petl tloned for the establishment of the routes. Mr. Pemberton will be In the district the remainder of the summer, as the department told him he could stay here as long as he had work to keep him busy. Mr. Pemberton Is thoroughly compe tent to do this work as he laid out the First Tennessee district, the topogra pny or wnicn is very muon like this, so he understands the needs of the ser vice.

Twentieth century minstrelsy la of- fored this week ut the Casino ut Riv erside Park by the Marion & Pear company which gave the opening per formance hint evening. The company has some fairly good singers and the dancing turns are all well Uuiie, whik the olio has a number of act:) that an of a high grade. The standard thai was set at this theater last week lt kept up and the attendance shows thut the efforts of the management to give mreitorious performances are appreci ated by the people of the city. The first part Is of the ever-popular character that is Inseparable from any minstrel performance of either the lttth or 2l)lh century. The dusky semi-circle sings its songs and cracks lis jokes, the Interlocutor, E. J. Mack, being as sisted by Herman Marlon and Mr. Mor ris as bones and Hilly Pearl and Mr..1 Blain as tambos. After the opening chorus arranged by Hurry Vontilzer In which the entire company participated the following songs were well rendered: "Sweet Annie Moore" E. J. Mack "Oh, Mr. Dingy" Mr. Morris "Old School Days, or I Wonder it She's Waiting" J. W. Nelson "Coon, Coon, Coon" Mr. Blain Today, or Julia, My Own "..F. P. Calilli "Home, Sweet Home to Me, or Be yond the Gates of Paradise" William J. Oswald "Blue and Gray" (Parody). Billy Pearl "Balmoral" Morris, Blain, Marlon and Pearl. Edward Rentz, the "Komlcal Koine-1 dlun" on the Black wire gave an act of the highest grade. The originality displayed added unusual interest to whut would even without the comic features have been a clever slack wire performance. Although a heavy man Rents was very sure-footed on the wire and he performed mtiny dllllcult feats. His introduction In the role of a stage '.'supe" put the audience in good humor at once. Morris and If In t n. a team of buck dancers, showed some excellent work with their feet and their act was filled out with a number of catchy coon mel odies, The Bijou Comedy Four (Cahlll, Nel son, Mack and Oswald) have a splendid mixture of song and comedy In gome eooentrlc characters that have become quite familiar on the vaudeville Btage. They sang the "Hcily City" and a num ber of less dignified musical produc Uons to the entire -satisfaction of the audience. Tho acrobatic team, Marlon and Teaii, gave more thnn the usual num ber ot fetching jokes preliminary to their work In the athletic line and some of the tumbling work was above the average. The performance closed with the pre sentation of a number of moving pic tures by the rlneograph, all of which were very clear and were a well select ed mixture, partly comic and partly of a panoramic character. The whole program Is well calculated to please a critical audience. par.. ..cB...askea Music by Orchestra. Fare, BO cts. Round Trip. YKSTETtDAY'B BASEBALL.
