Cost of q Sidewalk.

The subject Of the cost of = sidewalk
is often thought over by men who arc
about to lay down good walk. We in
vite such to read the following from a
paper lately read before the Asbury
Park Library Association: An ordina-
ry board walk, four feet wide, can he
put down for eighteen cents running
foot, but requires relaying every four
years. Adding interest, one hundred
feet of four fest board walk will cost
for twenty years, $155 80. Blue stone
can be laid for 81 per running foot, and
will cost, interest added, for tweaty
years, $22O, but it makes better walk.
Bricks, Sx20, can be laid for fifty cents
per running foot, four feet wide, which
by adding interest at 81 per year for re-
pairs, will cost $50 for twenty years.
Ordinary size brick, thirty cents per
running foot, with IS q year for repairs
and interest added, S126. Cement costs
seventy We cents per running foot, land
for twenty years, $l50.4O.

Senator NIL yery Low.

WASHINGTON, May II. - Mrs.
Thompson, daughter of Senator Hill, Of
Georgia, left this city yesterday to join
her father at Eureka Springs, Arkan-
sas, where he has bet n for some weeks
with Mrs. Hill and their other children.
Senator Hill has no hope of recovery
aDd desires to have his family with
him. Mrs. Thompson has therefore
given up the house occupied with her
parents during the early part Of the sea-
sen, and placed her four little children
in charge Of nurse and left them with
a friend in Georgetown.
A letter received from hsr. mother the
day before her departure stated that her
father was weak and more exhausted
since the operation performed in Phila-
delphia, but that no sign Of tho disease
or its progress is visible. He is very
much depressed, and it is hoped that
the presence of Mrs. Thompson, who is
a favorite daughter, may have a cheer.

Shortly before noon yesterday three
men, named respectively N. B. Dixon,
John Walls and man named Kelley,
made an unprovoked assault on John
Cullen Bryant, who is an agent in this
city for Boston publishing house, and
also prominent temperance worker
Tho attack was made near Front and
King streets, he being called by name
by the three men and one Of them re.
quested the loan OF fifty cents. Mr..
Bryant made reply that he did not
know the men and refused the request,
whereupon they demanded the money
and grabbed hold of him. He sue.
ceeded in getting out Of their clutches
and entered the Pennsylvania House
near by, where he boards. They fol-
lowed him and repeated the demand,
but were again refused. Two OF the
men who were very much Intoxicated
became angry at thus being refused
and made threats against Mr.. Bryant,
whu kept them at arms length by
striking them with an umbrella. until
parties in the hotel interfered and
elected the belligerent individuals, but
they returned and seemed bsnt on
having q row.
Word was sent to police headquar-
ters and Officers Dowlen and McIlhen-
ny soon made their appearance and
took the men in charge. After pro-
cesding short distance, McIlhenny
left the prisoner in charge of the other
officer, until he went back to the hotel
to see Bryant, when the prisoners we're
inclined to give tho officer In charge
little trouble but upon being told that
one OF them would surely be taken they
quietly along until they
were again Joined by Officer McIlhenny.
A short time after their arrest they
were bailed out to appear before the
Mayor last evening, but being too
drunk they did not make their appear
snce and the trial was postponed until
this evening. Several other gentlemen
were stopped on the street yesterday
by these men. who demanded money.

Elesslsa Contests to be Considered

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Aftsr con
sultation with members Of the "Busi.
ness" Committee, the Southern Re
publican Representatives have beoome
satisfied that the programme laid ou,
by the committee Is good one and
provides for fairly prompt consider.
alton Of the contested election cases.
The effort to call another general
caucus Of Republican Representatives
will, therefore, not be made. 1t has
all along been privately known that
the members Of the Business Commit.
tee have been as firmly determined al
anybody that all the contested election
cases reported by the Elections Com
mittee at this session shall be disposed
of before Congress adjourns.
But there were two or three other
public measures which had been made
special orders by h two-thirds vote of
the House and upon which early action
was deemed of prime importance. The
only one Of these important special or.
ders now remaining to be considered
except the Geneva Award bill, upon
which q vote will be taken early to-
morrow.-is the National Bank bill, the
consideration of which will
be urged.
As soon ~ this shall be out of the
way, the Mackey o. 'Connor case will he
called up. There are some threats of
Democratic tilibustering against this
case. but = great many democrats say
they are In favor of going no farther
in that direction than may be found
necessary 80 arrest public attention.

decided to report to the House with
favorable recommendation. Rspresen-

duced two boys to accompany him In
his wanderings, since which time none

only about II years of age and has had
but very little chance to be other than
a bad boy. His father was killed by

time ago, and his mother, being liver
Of strong drink, is not capable of TAX
ing care of her children. Edward
