have had an examination made and here
with report list of portions of sidewalks that
ought to De relald. The amount is very large
and suggests the inq airy whether it may not
be better to adopt some more permanent plan
tor sidewalks in those streets which are mostly
built up, making them of brick and stone.
In streets which not nearly built up
would 1t not be better to reduce the amount of
perishable sidewalk by laying two plank side
walks and carefully crawling the rest of the
walk for the needed width and to the height of
the planks? The only objection know ia the
growth OF weeds in the gravel. It is obvious
that from one-sixth to one-eighth of all the
wooden sidewalks ought to be rebuilt every
YEAR, besides the extensions. It is impractica-
BILE. and If practicable would be useless to re-
port portions of streets needing repairs. be-
ieve the proper and cheapest way is to make
repairs before the injury is enough to call for q
report. As now organized the assistant engi-
neers cannot make such reports their time be-
ing fully taken up.
The complaints of the Engineer of the Fire
Department relate to street crossings and to
cutters extending across streets. Plank cross
ings are not strong enough for the fire engines,
and wear out rapidly. / believe the wooden
pavement blocks make the best wooden cross
ing. suggest the trial for crossings or pave
ment of limestone blocks from strata four to
five inches thick, squaEed eight inches deep and
twelve or more in length. and laid on edge in
sand across the street as q pavement, the cost
being probably about the same as Of wooden
pavement.
The cutters across streets ought to be filled
up. Owing to misunderstanding and to their
not being mentioned in the communication
from the Council, the crossings and cutters
needing reconstruction and filling were not
| fully reported, but can be in q short time

FATAL ACCIDENT AT COAL CREEI
Death of Convict from the Foul Gas
In the Mines.
Throws q Distance of Forty Feet ant
Killed Instantly,

Throws q Distance of Forty Feet and
Killed Instantly.
A fatal accident occurred to one of
the convicts at work in the Knoxville
Iron Company's coal mine, at Coal
Creek, yesterday morning. The squad
of covicts were started bright and
early into the mine to work as usual,
with their cap lamps. In coming out
of the mine Saturday night, the man
whose duty it was, had neglected
to close up the entrance !;
hence, 1t had become filled with
foul gas. A colored convict named
Adolphus Johnson, from Memphis,
went in the lead, but had not gone
far till his lamp ignited the gas. This
caused it to rush first towards the
back OF the mine, and then recOil,
! and 1t came with terrific force against
johnson, hurling him a distance OF
| about forty feet, and causing instant
| death. Another convict, a white man,
who was following close after the un.
fortunate man, was injured slightly,
though nothing very serious. The
others of the squad were out Of reach
This is the first accident of the
kind, or any other, that has happened
at the mines since they have
been under the efficient management
of Captain Chumbly, Superin-
tendent of the convict force,
II is much regretted, and will be
Carefully guarded against in the future.
1t would not have happened had the
gateway to the mine been closed Sat
urday night, and the cause of the ne
gIect was, that the man whose duty
It was. was new hand, and not fully
up in his duties.

A house was rented and fitted up by
lady in this city to lift up the fall
en-" A conviction Of duty gave the
first impetus to the work, and the ex-
ample and words of the Master him
self gave US courage to go forward.
The motive was the salvation Of
precious, immortal sOuls, and, dear
friends, not until we can estimate the
value of an immortal soul, Can we say
that we are spending too much time,
love. and money in this work.
There were DO visible means OF sup
port when these poor fallen women
came to US with pleadiDgs ''for Gods
sake to save them" Oar petition was.
"Lnrd what wouldst Thou have US do. /"
The work has now been carried on
Tor more than three months; there
have been six or eight inmates in the
home; one Was married, two nave
gone back. The expenses (including
cost OF fu:niture) have been consider
ably over two hundred dollars, which,
Win The exception Of one dollar from
a clergy man, has been advanced by
one lady.
This lady can not bear the burden
longer. What shall be done? Must
We close the doors for want of means,
and send these immortal souls back to
their old haunts of vice and degrada-
ton?
