DISCUSS TONIGHT THE AUDITORIUM - 1 Proposition to Sell Market Building Meets Favor IS NO STIPULATION IN DEEDS ON HAND City Holda no Deed for Present Market House Site Papers Destroyed in City Hall Fire Interest In- ' tense in Tonight's s Meeting. The Board of Aldermen will meet to- .:),, tnf tha Inst MHiim rinrlnv th fin- cal year 1899-1900, though -the meeting that win wiua up me Dusiness oi ine year will not He held until the firs Fri day in March. There are a number of matters of vital importance to the citi zens of Raleigh that will receive the attention of the BoaTd at its meeting to night, first among which in point of discussion at the present time is the proposition to sell the present Market House and Oity Hull to the Grand Lodge nf Knrth Carolina for the sum of $25,000, and then take the funds derived from the sale and erect an Audi torium'. During the past few days there has been a great deal of discussion regarding the proposition. There has been a sug gestion launched that the property can not be sold, that its acquirement by the city wus accompanied by a stipulation that the laud must never be used for other purpose than a city market house, and that if that stipulation was no ad hered to the property should revert to the heirs of the former owners. The deed for the property cannot be found in the records of the city and is supposed to have been destroyed during the fire when the former city hall was burned to the ground in 1808. One deed for a portion of the property is registered at the office of the Register of Deeds of Wake county and shows that a tract of land fronting seventy feet on Faycrtteville street and seventy feet on Wilmington street through the block a distance of 210 feet, was transferred to the city for the sum of $2,250. The bind was sold to the city by Matthew Shaw, who, with his brother, at one time owned all of the property from the present site of the Citizens' National Bank to the drug store of W. H. King & Co. The seventy feet front on Fay etteillc street begau at the line, now the Nob boundary of the. Bobbltt Wynne drug store, and continued to the north, the distaiiee at present covering only a .-mall portion of the south half of the Market building. In the deed it is stated that iho land is transferred to the city of Raleigh fur the--fise and benefit of the city forever, and it is this wordiug of the deed that has caused, or is believed to have caused, the doubt re garding tlio right to sell the property. There is however, one aouDt ien aim that has not yt been removed, though It is probable that it may never cause a hitch in auy plan that the City Fathers may arrange for the disposal of the pres ent City Hall. - The dee.l for the seventy feet front states that that property "is bounded on ..ti, hr th eitv market hsuse, ' which at that time, the year 1846, oc cupied the upper half or tne proiwny now covered by the present building. The deed for that portion of the prop r otnnil the. old market house tiJ ----- cannot be fonnd. TUc city mas no ueeu, tt having been destroyed, anu mere i non in the on ice or tne iwwtm vl Deeds, fire in that office a numoer oi vears niro having ruined many of the recording books. - The City Attorney. Mr. waiter u. Watson, has been busily engaged during the pat two days looking into the mat ter for the Board's meeting louigui, which time the proposition to sell will be suggested by the report of the Street Committee. m ih. nMvr mtizens favor the t t tu nimwrtv and the opposition come almost wholly from younger men. In the Board meeting tonigni uieie certain to be two opponents to the scheme,, while those favoring the plan . u v, hnon tntei1 thus far believe lis m n " - . that It grows stronger in advantages as they look deeper into tne inaiier .

Putney passed -quietly away at his home No. 510 South Bloodworth street Mr. Putney had consumption and for sev eral years his health has been declining.

RICHMOND TO WASHINGTON Railroad Officials and Hie Public Inter ested in the Bill. Information comes from a trustwor thy source that the Seaboard Air Line officials are now deeply interested in the bill pending in the Virginia Legislature to allow the S. A. L. to build the Rich mond and Washington Air Line from Richmond to Washington, paralleling the present Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad. The distance is one hundred and fifty miles This is the most important measure to both the S. A. L. and the entire south for such a road would give the S. A. Jj. an independent outlet from the South into Washington. As it is now the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Po tomac Railroad is virtually own ed by the State of Virginia and is open to all the roads but the Seaboard wants to provide against a contingency which might arise. Suppose the line competing with the S. A. L. should secure this Richmond and Potomac road, then the S. AL. would be certainly greatly inconvenienced and one road would have the only outlet from the south. There is a strong lobby working against this bill to charts the Richmond and Washington Air Liue, but to protect the State of Virginia the S. A. L. guarantees the State of Vir ginia atgainst loss In the paralelling of their road. Should the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac pass into tile hands of another company then the S. A. L. and the Atlantic Coast Line might be de prived of an outlet, FERTILIZER RATE CASE. ' Special Master Martin today renewed hearintr of. the Seaboard's fertilizer- rate case, Mr. H. W, B.

It is the belief ot many uiax ouira; afternoon talks, if they are delivered by men in whom the young men of the city have confidence and men who will make the talks interesting, would call out n goodly number of listeners, and tnis fea ture, thoughit. should be made a leading n maaA r,nt MiiKimw all the attention of the managers of the club or associa tion. Good athletics anoo tner nuon sonne exercise do much to improve the morals of a community and it ia to bt hoped that some one will take the mat ter in charge and see what can be dont revival of that character of life in the Capital City.

BRITISH PLAN BIG MOVEMENT FOR LADYSMITH General Kitchener's Secret Force to Effect Relief FIRE ON THE VELDT FOR TWO MILES WITH FIGHTING The London War Office Attempts to Hold its Secret but Leak Comes from High Official Sources Unusual Activity in British Lines. Modder River, Feb. 1. There has been a great fire burning along the veldt since yesterday afternon. The extent of the tire is two miles in length and extends along the plain between Jacobsdal kopjes aud the dam. Some British officers be- huve it was started at the scene of a movement of some forces Who huve been summoned to the eastward.

'J lie British, long range artillery on the left flout threw shells in the direc tion of the Boer position. The Boers shelled the British from the west for half an hour.

The Times publishes a special and extra to print the dispatch from Storkst rom stating that the Boer eniisMiiies are distributing leaflets aud working throughout Basutoland to incite that tribe to rise against the British.

DELAYED REPORTS FOR LAST YEAR Rex Hospital Makes Report Nearly a Year Late GAVE STATISTICS TO PRINTER YESTERDAY Effort to be Made to Get Reports Made at Once After Close of Fiscal Year Negligence in the Past Censured. A member of the Board of Aldermen speaking this morning of the reports of the various departments of tha city gov ernment, said that it is a matter deserv ing the attention of the Board of Alder end one that is due the people of :his city that the reports for a fiscal year be completed as soon as possible alter the close of the year, and that they be given to the printer for immediate publication. This remark was called forth by the announcement from the citv printers, The Advocate Company, that the report for the year ending February 2stii. 1S0P, almost one year ago, are not yet from the press, and that they have beeii held awaiting the report from Kex Hospital. This was handed in yesterday. It lacks only a few days of being eleven months since the close of the fiscal rear for which that report is given and the print ers claim that their delay in furaishing printed copies of the repon of the city government is due to the fni.t that negii gemce, or something closely akin to it, on the part of some of the departments, held them back. The primers notified the oity authorities yesterday, it is stated, that at last the Rex Hospital's report had been turned over to them. The report of the Health Department was necessarily held up awaiting reports from others, who make the exhibits to the report, and it has he-.-.i only a few weeks since copies of that report were received from the printer. Ihe entire re ports of all departments of the city gov ernment of Atlanta, it is said, were com pleted and had been inaiic.i to the vari ous cities with which they exciang; re ports, before a single suh-iepctrt of the city government of Italeig.i had cc from the press. A member of the board of aldermen, who approved the above re marks of his fellow member, savs that an effort will be made at the inoediig of tho Board of Aldermen next mouth to have the various departments complete their reports at once and turn .h-m over to the city purchasing agent who contract for the publication of the report. This will admit of an early letting of the con tract aud the requiring of a guarantee from the printers to complete the work within a specified length of time after they are turned over to them. It is one of those matters, says the Alderman, that every man seems to wish to shift from his shoulders. There is re sponsibility connected with the compila tion of the reports, and it is something in connection with which there is little opportunity to get any public credit. This should not be the case, on theother hand the members who make reports and the gentlemen outside of the Board of Alder men who moke reports for outside insti tutions, should see to it that the work of a year is closed properly and within reasonable time. The fact that some of the reports have been held, he states, has caused extra cost to the city or may cause it, and this he urges as another reason why every effort should be exert ed to complete the year's work by the close of theyenr. What will be done by the Board of Al dermen regarding this matter is not known, but it is not improbable that some local legislation will be enacted by them compelling members to comply with the customs of the best and most progressive cities hi making the reports.
