THE new YORK STARS.
Concert at the Grand opera House
Last Evening.

The New York Stars gave concert to
one of the most fashionable audiences of
the season at the Grand opera house
last evening. The company is we'll
named, for each member is star in his
or her line of work, and the audience
gave every evidence of its appreciation.
Miss Drescher, the violinist. was on
the program for two numbers. but each
time she was compelled to respond to
recall. As an encore she rendered
'Swanee River" which was. If possible,
more enthusiastically received than either
of the other renditions. Miss Drescher's
execution was brilliant and masterful.
Every tone of the instrument was per-
feet. In her hands the violin was thing
of life, and the bow a magician's wand.
Her playing was a marvel of sweetness
of expression. and has rarely, if ever,
been exceeded by an artist in Asheville.
No less enjoya able was the cornet play
ing of w. Scott Haywood. He was en-
cored again and again, and delighted
the crowd with several popular selec-
tions.
Dewey Haywood, with the flute, rem
dered several selections in a manner that
gave evidence of his great ability-the
flute in his hands did almost everything
but talk. OF course he was recalled sew
eral times. When he and Scott Hey
wood played 'Dixie" the audience fairly
shook the house with their applauding

THINKS THEY'RE JoKING.
sCisizen' CrIttc3seS the Joint
Conn nnittee's IxT port.

EDITOR THE CiTIzEN:-That wonderful
report of the committee appointed to
recommend what streets shall be paved
is before the public for criticism. 1t is
certainly a most remarkable document.
For instance, allow me to call attention
to some streets that have been conspicu-
ously omitted:
First, Merrimon avenue, from Broad
street mort hwards; second, Pine street;
third, East street, along which rail-
road is in operations; fourth, South
French Broad avenue beyond Phillips
street; fifth, Phillips street.
Now the worst part of Merrimon ave
nue. for mud is that part between Broad
and Hillside streets. No argument is
necessary beyond a statement OF this
fact. Pine street is an important one for
driving. pays a pretty large tax, and yet
not even macadam is proposed. East
street is narrow, is split in two by--a
railroad, and has large travel over it.
South French Broad and Phillips have
been simply butchered by the West Ashe-
Vile and Sulphur Springs railway, and
yet it is seriously proposed to leave them
forever as they are. Grove street Is one
of the best in tie city. pays huge tax.
is closely built up, and has never had any
Improvement except a little board walk.
1t should be paved in the best manner
with brick.
But the most remarkable thing about
the reports, that sober city officers aP-
pointed as q committee to decide on such
important matters, should indulge in
| mere jokes, without explaining that they
meant it as a joke. When l first read it.
| took it in earnest, but soon saw the
humor of the thing, for knew that no.
body could seriously propose to pave that
lane called Atkin street, that starts from
South Main street down the hill, takes
1 - r,tH
| and then brings up with a bump into the
side of the mountain, along side of three
| or four houses belonging to Advisor Hunt
| To grade and widen that lane, and build
the bridge or culvert required, would cost
| nearly as much as the rubble pavement
The other Joke was to pave Bridge
| street. rechristened Central avenue,
with rock, and then come to the squar,
/ through town, over macadam and mud
along Spruce street, where property ii
| worth twice as much as ever Bridg'
street will be, or over Woodfiu, in th
same category with Spruce.
don't think the committee ought to
Joke this way, without explaining them
selves.
By the way, doesn't it look a ittl
queer to you. for an outgoing board t.
predetermine on such q large scale wha
their successors shall do Are some @
them afraid that the streets they live OF
won't get proper attention unless the.
decide the matter now!
Some may think this board can no
bind their SUCCESSORS in such a way, bu
you just wait See if the next NOV
won't be to let all these streets to cor
tract, and then watch the favored one
holding contracts bob up and threate
future boards with "the law" if the
attempt to interfere with their dea
: rights. Citizen.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9.-The most

PARIS. Feb. 9.-The special message of
Governor Hogg to the Legislature on
1ynching was not known here until the
arrival Of the morning papers. There
were, at FIRST, expressions of indignation
that the governor should continue to
agitate a matter which he confesses is
without remedy, but this gave way to
pity for the absurdities, as the people
called them, into which he had plunged.
The execution of Smith was said to be
simply a decree of the higher law of the
South. No error was made, they say
and there was no doubt of the crime or 81
the criminal, and the same crime would bs
punished with the same fate, but there
will be no such act here for many a day
as the arm OF the people has been felt.

The cash now on hand to the credit of
the improvement fund is 3.27 S.SS.
The deduction of the amount of existing
contracts from this leaves balance OF
$37 7.7sS. .SS. Ii the bonds unsold should be
disposed OF at 90 cents this would give
$1SO,OOO which. added to the balance
above, foots up $217,77s. Ss. Subtract
from this the approximated cost of new
work, and there remains a balance OF
$4S, S,67S.SS.
MIR. Starnes favors the changing Of
the character of material on Haywood
street and Moutford avenue from brick
to rubble, which would make the cost
$9, 1872 less than estimated above. This
amount added to the balance would
make the amount left after the compile
ton of the new work $5SO,O5.SS. From
this amount, Mr.. Starnes says, if the
Legislature so declares, may be taken
the $3O,O desired for the extension OF
the water and sewer system.

FIGURES ON THE PAVING
APPROxIB1ATE COST OF THE
NEW WORK.

AEcrthe Paving E&eCOmme n de d
by the Committee Is Done There
VIII he About $4,000 LeH, MT.
Starnes Saws.
For the benefit of those who could not
understand why College street, between
North Main and Oak, was omitted from
the report of the Joint Board committee,
published in THE CITIZEN yesterday, it
may be stated that that portion of the
street has virtually been contracted for.
to be paved with brick. When the con-
tracts for North Main. South Main and
Patton avenue were given to Webb.
Oates, Eskridge & Co. the paving be-
tween the car tracks was included.
Later, Col. Martin, who was then in
charge of the Asheville street railway,
expressed a desire to let the contract
for paving between the rails, and this
| much of the work was taken from the
contractors, with the promise that they
| would be given an equal amount of work
on College street. This, it is thought, will
run the brick paving to Oak street.
Alderman Starnes and Advisor Bear
den will submit a minority report to the
Joint Board tomorrow. recommending
| that Chestnut street be macadamized,
| instead of paved with brick as suggested
in the report published Yesterday. Mr..
Starnes says he thinks he shall also rec
ommend that macadam be used on Cen
trail avenue instead Of the rubbie paving.
He says, further, that when the nacad-
amizing reaches Starnes avenue, the prop
perty owners there will petition for a
12.foot sidewalk on either side of the
avenue. four feet of each walk to be taken
up by grass and a row of shade trees.
| Mr.. Starnes has given THE CITIZEN
some figures on the work conten. plated
ial interest in view of the fact that
many do not believe the work can be
done within the appropriation. The
estimates are based upon figures from
the city engineers Office. The approxi-
mate cost of the work recommended
