The New Docks.

ACTIVE Work may be witnessed on the
M'Kenzie contract, as Will be judged from
the fact that their contract is at least
half completed already. There has been
executive ability of a superior quality IN
graspingi this whole work in one view, con-
tracing for the mass of various material
called for, and the securing Of the prompt
delivery of each description, so as to Sc
cure the promptness Of the work called
for-yes, imPeriously demanded. Then
the decisiOn-perhaps sternneSsin- many
cases to prevent imposition and to meet
the approval of the engineer, and make all
smooth work with the estimates and final
settlement. is evidence of a fitness and
perfect understanding of the business.
There are some twenty teams engaged
on the work. Three of these are used on
the pillow. The remaining seventeen aver
age nearly fifty loads each a day. Cases
have occurred of sixty and over having
been dumped in a single day. This would
make $50 loads. A load, We believe, falls
little below a yard of earth. Then it
is easy to see with what progress this part
of the work goes on. Three pile drivers
are at work, but it is not quite as regular
and easy a business tc estimate the results
of this work. Forty piles are sometimes
driven in day, but the average does not
come up to this, but apprOximates to it,
giving basis of the progress in this de-
partment of the work. As the work has
been so we'll started, and brought down to
such thorough system, every thing moves
with facility and smOOthness, and every
movement tells.
The new contract embraces the oppo-
site side of the slip-which dock is to be
used fer the accommodation of the coal
trade, and will not, therefore, require to
be constructed with as IHuch strength as
for the wieghtier material of ore. 1t is to be
92O feet long, starting from the cross slip,
while the first contract ran beyond that
slip, and was measured at 1000 feet in
extent. The long slip, of course, is CO.
extensive with the new contract, and will
be 13O feet vide at least, and may be $50,
as first stated. 1t is not yet settled
question which.
We are informed that the contracts for
the material for the coal dock, will be en-
tered into at once, and no delay will be
allowed in the delivery, so that this sec
ond dock will be begun in few days.
One of the pile drivers will be transferred
to the coal dock without delay, and before
the close of the season, both docks will
have been finished, and pus to use. The
number of hands employed at present is
about 100.

CONNEAUT.

Ed. Telegraph.-That kind of rain that
is said to fall upon the unjust as well as
the Just, is the thing needful at present,
but we will not murmur, as last night we
had 8 right smart sprinkle. Then again
there is another shower close at hand, as
1 notice to-day Daniels Avenue is literally
filed with female pedestrians; hence, we
take courage.
Speaking of pedestrians, We have got 1t
vet, and our best winded boy, Frank Thur
Der, is billed to waddle through a ten
hour sweat at Cleveland's Hall in a few
DAYS with one Bell-whether it is COW or
dinner, can't say. But of course there
will be a crowd of admirers, just the same
as if a dog was advertised to walk erect on
his hind legs.
Sometime last February, our town was
billed by Professor Lewis, who proposed
TO get up class at three dollars per head
to learn the ignorant how to subdue all
fractions horses. mares, mules and jaekasses.
The class was gotten up and our town
aEounds in amateur professors. But some
how Lewis liked the lay of the land around
about here, and soon was attracted by the
winning smiles of buxum widow in the
person OF a Mrs. Lovitt, who Is a tonsor-

but he subdued her, and they were mar
ried, and 1 think they are the fattest if not
the hsppiest span have viewed in many

this their happy home.

had any fast horses to let 'em jog, but
as our first families are believers of

at that, we shall have to go to Ashtabula
to the brick yard park for our sport.

Mr.. Ed. Sexton met with sad accident
Wednesday afternoon while at work remoV-

A New THING IN POSTAL FACILITIES
The Postmaster, General is authorized to
offer to the public the double postal card,
the double envelope, and the envelope letter
sheet. The two former are intended to
provide for sending an answer to message
or letter upon the same card or under the
same envelope. The double postal card
will be of the same size as the present, and
will, of course, be sold for two cents. The
stamp on the right hand corner is cancelled
when the card goes through the mail the
first time and the other on its return.
The original sender writes his communiea-
tion on the back, and the address of his
correspondent on the face: the latter ap-
pends his answer, erases his own address,
and writes that of the person who sent it
to him. The double envelope also has two
stamps placed as on the postal card, its fly
is gummed in two places, and between
them is line of perforations. The sender,
instead of inclosing a stamp to pay return
postage, uses one of these envelopes, writ
ing the address on the right hand end Of
the envelope and seals it by moistening the
gum on the outer edge of the flap. The
receiver cuts through the line of perfora-
tions and the envelope is opened. Enclos-
ing his answer. he seals it as usual, and
writes the address of his correspondent on
The left hand end. The envelope sheet is
sheet stamped on the back like stamped
envelope, and so arranged that it can he
folded and sealed without using an envel-
ope. Its advantages are economy and also
the convenience, especially in the care OF
papers that may be used in evidence in le-
gal proceedings of having proof Of the time
of its receipt by its attachment to the doc
ument itself
1t is believed that these changes will
pro We advantageous to the business public.

Last Tuesday the County Commissioners,
Simonds and Dodge, were Jogging along
on the Celter Road in Pierpont, with Mr..
Dodge's horse and wagon, when in some
unknown way the king bolt slipped out and
let the front part of the wagon box on to
the ground, and both occupants pitched
out on their faces and bruised them in
shocking manner. No bones were broken.
A case of of poisoning in the Stewart
family, on the Lake Shore, has Just come
to our notion, although happening some
time ago. On a certain night Mr.. and Mrs.
Stewart and son were taken suddenly i'll.
When medical assistance had come to hand
the illness was pronounced the result of
poison. A few days later Mr.. Stewart,
son and hired woman and child after par
taking of a meal of biscuits, were all taken
sick with the same symptoms as on the pre-
vious occasion, Mrs. Stewart alone escsp-
ing. As she had refrained from eating Of
the biscuit 1t was evident that the poison
was contained in one of the ingredients
that entered into them, How it came
there is a mystery.

FRIGHTFUL RUNAwAY.-A spirited horse
belonging to James Name, of Ashtabula,
created ripple of excitement in this place
on the 9Th. Mr. Name, his wife and son
were near the school building, heinte ndlng
to get his bride repaired by Mr.. Burr.
For that purpose he drove to the side OF
the street, got out and slipped the bride
of the horse and left the boy to hitch 1t
with a strap about the animals neck.
While in the act of tying the horse 1t start
ed but the boy hung on bravely until he
was compelled to let go, when he was run
over and bruised severely about the head
and shoulders. Mrs. Name was thrown
from the buggy and was also severely
bruised about the head and face. The
buggy was broken up, and lamp post de-
molished, which stood in the way. The
horse rushed through the village northward
toward Ashtabula.

HARBOR IMPROVEMENT.
60 q Nan Up a Tree.,,


Eds. Tsl:-1st, The argument brought
to bear under this head on the 4th page Of
the NeaCs of this date, and in the published
report of Council Proceedings on the 9TH
page, remind US Of those made to induce
individuals to take stock in q rolling
mill some time ago, and repeated for the
purpose of issuing bonds last year, viz:
It never could have been made before for
the money, and Councilman says the soon
er we do the work the cheaper it can be
done, and thinks the improvement can be
completed in full for good deal less money
than it is now proposed to raise Another
Councilman declared that the $5, $50 now
proposed to be raised is really only small
portion Of the amount that must be expend-
ed to make the improvement"
Vanderbilt has visited the Harbor, so has
the NeWs man (ald we don't know but the
Mayor and CounciD and found numerous
other improvements being made, and seem
to conclude that this ship channel might
perhaps better be improved now ''and the
expected benefits realized without further
delay" I've no doubt everybody is willing
if the Mayor and Council or some other
Corporation furnished the money, and per-
haps are willing that the levy just made
of 1-1O mills shall he used to pay the nee
essary expense ior the Council to appropri-
ate and pay for the real estate and right OF
way as they are ''clearly and explicitly EN-
powered" 10 use it under that --latest re-
vised cOde," but if they should get out from
under that--we hear music in the air.
Let us compare the Mayor and Council
in their relations TO the taxpayers, to an
agent. Suppose the agent proposes
to mortgage the principals prop
erty for the purpose OF building depot at
the Center Street crossing. Perhaps the
principal would like to have one there and
might be accommodated by it occasionally,
but says won't you have TO pay for the land
to put it on? What will it cost? The
agent says, oh, don't know anything
about that. but guess it won't be much, the
depot ought to be built now and guess you
think so, we'll find out about the land as
soon as l can raise the money on this mort
gage. R.
