In Gov. Shepherds testimony before the
Senatorial Committee at Washington, be stated
that, after DoGolyer Il MoOelland had laid q
portion Of the irontzed wood pavement In that
city, ha had received information and was him.
self satisfied that 1t was worthless. Neverthe-
less, ho Ind allowed thom to go on aud lay moro
OF tho gamo pavement; but he declared TINT ho
had not dono this until ho WIS shown cortitl-
cato from the Donrd Of Public Works Of Chi
cago "that the DoGoiyor pavement laid IN TINT
city, far had been tested, WAS good one' ~
On this point wo are furnished with tho follow
ing memorandum from tho of1co OF tho Board Of
Public Works Of Chicago:
The Board Of Public Works Of this city state that
thoy never gave tho De9olyor h McOcllaud Paving
Company certificate that the pavement taid by that
Company in Chicago waB as good my other. Tho
Board peremptor1y refused to give Buch certificate,
although they wore urged to do so. They gave, as
hcr rcaaon for Sefuaing to give certificate Of TINT
character tho fact that the ironixed h1d not
been in use long enough to ouab1o them to decide upon
ita merits. The only certificate tsauod to Deo1yer l.
Mcolol1and by tho Chicago Board was one to this
had been laid; that It appcarcd thus far, to DO
good AZ any othor but that 1t had not boon laid long
enough to be thoroughly tested.
1t ia remarkable that Mr. Shepherd, having
become satisfied that tho ironized pavement Ind
IN Washington Was 40 "worth1ess that he had
set aaide the contract and prohibited
any mors being la,d. should be induced
to allow 100000 more work Of the
aamc "worth1ess kind to be done upon cor
tiflcate TINT like pavement laid In Chicago had
not boon In uao long enough to tell whether 1t
WAS "worthlosa" or not. The contractors
sought such certificate as GOV. Shepherd says
ha Was furnished, but 1t was refused, and, In
order to oloar up the point al to uhy tho Gov.
ernor was induced to allow these mon to resume
their work, ho had botter be required to produce
the original certificate. He certainly gives q
version Of 1t not recognized By tho Board Of
Public Works Of this city.

The two hundred and fifty sulphur
mines in Sicily are fast being exhausted,
and it is estimated by the Italian gov
eminent officers that in from fifty to
sixty years there will be no available
sulphur left on the island. The methods
OF working the ore are so defective that,
although it contains from fifteen to forty
per cent. of pure sulphur, only fourteen
per cent. is actually otained, The pre-
diction that iron pyrites will ultimately
replace sulphur for many purposes is
likely to be verified.
