THE BOILER QUESTION.


To the Editor: The article in yester-
DAYS News and Observer in regard to
| the action of the Board of Aldermen
of the city in refusing the application
of the Page Lumber Company to carry
steam across Martin street, according
to their application, did injustice to
the Board, as well as the question at
issue. The ordinance now in opera
ton does not allow steam to be carried
across the streets of the city at a
pressure above fifteen pounds to
the square inch, unless the permission
of the Board is given. The Page Lum-
Der Company desired to carry steam
across the street at a pressure of 80
pounds to the square inch. This re-
quired a special permit.
After full discussion the Board, from
its action, felt they ought not to grant
this request. when it was not denied
that the boiler which generated the
steam would cause considerable loss
TO myself, an adjacent property owner,
and perhaps others. especially when
he Page Lumber Company could make
arrangements to effect their desires
without greater expense to them
selves than the loss it would occasion
me.
The impression which is sought to
be created by the article in the News
and Observer is-that the Board has
shown an unfriendly spirit towards
the Pages, who have invested largely
in the city. ! think such an impress
sion would be most unjust.
The Pages have received every CON
sideration that other citizens have re-
ceived. They have built the Academy
Of Music and the Park Hotel, but there
has been no discrimination against
them. The hotel is doing as we'll as
any other hotel, and has just as many
privileges-if anything more. They
complain that they are not encouraged
to furnish Raleigh with a ffrst-class
hotel, when the truth is they have
chosen to close up the Marlborough
one of the best in the State-and one
that never asked any extraordinary
privileges.
1t may be that the Academy of Mu-
sic has not received that favor and
patronage which it's owners expected,
but the city of Raleigh ought not to
be bemeaned for that. One convention
of the people, in midsummer, has been
held in it, and Immediately notice is
served on the town, through the press
of the State, that if the city expects
to have conventions held in Raleigh it
must provide better accommodations
than the Academy of Music gives. The
Academy of Music has no more met
the expectations of the public than its
owners-and the cause should not be
charged up to the town.
This matter has been twice tried by
the Board of Aldermen, after full dis
cussion, and with the same result. /
do not think it ought to be tried again
in the newspapers. | make this state
ment not so much on my own account,
as / do on account of those members
of the Board of Aldermen, to whom
I feel grateful, for preventing an in
jury to my property in order that the
Page Lumber CO. might not lose a
few dollars, which they should lose
instead of myself.

ENTHUSIASTIC BRYAN MAN

The Raleigh evening daily, the
.prass-Visitor." Yesterday printed this
TEN under the head of Buck Kitchen
Bolts"
Wv. H. Kitchen (Buck), of Halifax,
has kicked out of the Populist traces.
Mr.. Kitchen is an enthusiastic Bryan
man and has so declared himself dur
ING the past few days. Mr.. Kitchen
furthermore says that every honest
silverite will support the Democratic
nominee. The heretofore Halifax
populist is much displeased with the
policy which Butler is pursuing. He
is quoted by gentleman to have said
that Butler and skinner seemed to be
looking out for Office more than any
thing else"
OHIO Wilson and Harry Skinner
were walking up Fayetteville street
late Yesterday afternoon when they
met Kitchin. Wilson had the paper in
his hand and soWed the item to
Kitchin.

he cleared his big throat.

them as he shook his name. Does my

claimed down a few, Il am going to
ST. Louis as a delegate to the Populist
National convention. / am going to
work for the nomination of Bryan, but
for Sewall, never. / am for Bryan, but
shall abide by the action of the St.
Louis convention"
Rumors of Capt. Kitchens advocacy
of Bryan have fioated this way from
Halifax ever since the Chicago con-
vention. He has been often reported
as saying that, mo man who is hon
estly in favor of silver or is true
patriot, can refuse to vote for Bryan"
1t was said that Capt Day and
Capt. Kitchen had a debate over Bryan
that could be heard distinctly over the
greater portion of Halifax county.
He is said to be the most earnest
Bryan man in his section, and praises

ces of the Charlotte Cycle Club.

WILL NOT INTERFERE.

Major j. w. Wilson, chairman of the
North Carolina Railroad Commission
last night contradicted the statement
which has appeared in the press to the
effect that the Commission would in
terfere with the issuance of rates pro-
posed by the Seaboard Airline. He
also emphatically denied that any let
ter had been written by the Commits
sion to President r. G. Hoffman or
any other official of the Seaboard by
the Commission or that any order had
been issued about it. He said the
Commission would not interfere with
the Seaboard's rates so long as the
long and short haul clause was com
piled with and no discrimination was
made in favor of other States.

SUIT DISMISSED.

1t will be remembered that some
time since Mr.. Winder entered suit
against certain officials of the Sea-
board Airline including President r.
C. Hoffman, John III. Sharpe, Treasur-
er; Judge Watts, the general counsel,
and others, it having been claimed
that Mr.. Winder, who was president
of the Belt Line Railroad had been il
legally refused access to the books
and records of that company. The
injunction case growing out of this re-
fusal was heard before Judge Hughes
in Richmond few days since, and we
note from the Portsmouth ''Star" that
he has dismissed the case.

There is Doubt About the Result of
Negotiations Now Pending,

A well known gentleman said: 1.-THE
Populists could reach no agreement
in regard to fusion even among them
selves, and therefore no progress was
made. They practically decided that
Il they could carry cut their wishes,
another ticket should be nominated at
ST. Louis, but the Bryan sentiment
is so strong in the State among honest
Populists that they are afraid to an
tagonize it. And so Senator Buffers
plan is to endorse Bryan and some
Southern Populist, say Tom Watson,
for ice-President. AS people vote
for electors, this plan would be equiv
alent to fighting Bryan in fact while
apparently advocating him. 1t would

said yesterday: They wouldn't let

big Republican bosses was this: Rus
sell is to get down and Guthrie is to
be endorsed for Governor. Mckinley
has promised TO put Pritchard in his
cabinet. Russell is to go to the Senate
in place of Pritchard. After what
Pritchard has done, the silver Popul-
lists will not support him, but if he
could be taken care of by Mckinley
and be in a position to distribute fat
Offices to Populists, Butler could bring

SUPREM E COURT REPORTS.
Task Of Preparing the Opinions for

stephens will Print Samoa
Suggestion to Court Clerks.

Mr.. George l.. Wyllys, clerk of the SUI
preme court and the local district court,
having finished the arduous task of re-
cordiug and preparing for the printer all
the published and unpublished opinions
of the New Mexico supreme court, has
forwarded the voluminous mass OF revised
''copy" to Mr.. +. W. stephens, proprietor
of the Columbia (Mo) Herald, who has
taken the contract to publish the opinions
in uniform volumes.
In order to keep out of mischief until
another term of court opens, Mr.. WHY'S
is now engaged in carefully going over
his dockets in search of unpaid costs due
to the territory, and making out cost bills
against the proper persons for the
amounts due. He says that his efforts in
this direction will yield several hundred
dollars to help restore the exhausted terri
torial salary fund.
Doubtless other court clerks might
emulate this example with advantage to
the territory.
