THE BATrUHE HOLES.
Mr.. VIM. Moylan, the lowest bidder ON the
proposition to fill the battnre holes, had not
appeared at the City Hall yesterday at

work for IA . 10 cents per cubic yard.

We are Informed by Mr.. Moke, Of the Fire
Alarm and Police Telegraph Department,
thnt he has received n letter from Mr.. Chan
der to the effect that the new automatic bfe-
graph apparatus ordered by the city was to
have been shipped from Chicago on Monday
by rail, and would probably arrive here on
Saturday. Mr.. Chandler himself was to have
left Chicago u day or two after the shipment,
In order tO arrlve here before The apparatus
could he discharged
| In anticipation ii the arrival Mr.. Moke has
made thorough overhauling Of the electric
apparatus In his department, renewed all the
wires and remodled their disposition, and he

change, which, under the new system inau-
gurated by Mr. Moke, ~ intended to avoid
considerable loss Of electricity by absorption.
