burned over to Saturday, at which time
one of the Judges from Centreville put il
his appearance and corrected the infor-

A Stauntcn Contractors Work in Florida
How Jetties are Made.

Mr.. A. S. Lara of this city. after a short
visit to his family. returned on Sunday
night to Florida where he is engaged in 3
Government contract, opening the chan
pel at the mouth of the st. Johns River
by putting in the Eads' jetties. MT
Lara gives an interesting account OF the
way the work is done. He and his part
ner are working out the first COMPRESSION
al appropriation of $175 600, and expect to
complete the contract this winter.
The mats that are used in the work are
not mats at all, as we understand the
but RATS of heavy logs securely fastened
together, which are cut at two points up
the st. Johns 10 and 20 miles from the
place where the jetties are building. The
RATS have heavy layer Of brush bound
down upon them, and are then pushed
down the river by tugs to the mouth where
they are anchored securely in position and
stones weighing from Is to $50 pounds
each. not more, are pill upon them until
they sink. The water where Trey are sunk
is in some places from rs to 80 feet deep.
sunk, they are leveled by sounding from
the surface and another layer is placed on
them and so on. each layer being about
two feet in thickness until the jettles are
high enough to be seen at low water mark
The water at the mouth of tho river
where the bar lies, which impedes nav
igatlon, is mile wide and the jetties
are made to approach each other from th4
shore, forming funnel shaped channel
which at its narrowest point will be about
narrowed channel will wash out the bar
of sand and 80 deepen the water as to adj
nit of the passage of ships of the largest
Eurthen.
Another appropriation of S175 900 was
made by the last Congress. which has been
ia en- by another contractor, and it is es
timated that it will cost million and a
half dollars to complete the work.
Mr. Lara is interested in another SINH
lar contract at Fernandina, at the mouth
of the St. Mary's River, and still another.
at Charleston, s. e., both OF which have
been sub. let, but the work at Fernandina
is not progressing so well, and he expects
when his contract is completed in the st.
johns, to take up and finish the one at
Fernandlna, which will take him till
Spring.
The health of the contractors and their
employees h no. been int rfered wi b iy
miasmatic influences which are generally
supposed to prevail in this low country,
the sea breeze being always fine; and the
water is often 80 rough from the swell OF
the sea on the bar, that work is impossible
md they have to move further up aid
work at point where the waves are noe
so bojsterous. r

The President then introduced Rev. E..
speaker for the occasion.
HIS address giving the reasons why there
was Young Mems Christian Association
in this country and in every Bible land on
earth was for for its appropriateness, orig
inality and genuine CHRISTIAN spirit, equal
to anything of the kind ever delivered be-

hands of every opponent of association
work, and could but result in good. No
report but verbatim one would do it JUS

His leading idea was that each church
represents circle and covers the plain of
the moral world with their circles, they
touch only at given points and the church
