The Case OF Sergeant Mason.
To the Editor Of the EVENING SrAR:

1t seems that the case OF Sergeant Mason In
about forgotten, and that he is destined to
remain In prison until the harsh sentence i'm
posed on him has expired. Perhaps there never
was man consigned to prison In this land for
whom there was such general sympathy, or for
whom more people have sent I'm petitions for a
pardon, and yet in the face of these facts that
man stu fingers in a states prison and the
wishes OF majority Of the American people are
disregarded. This seems passing strange Is
the voice OF this people impotent when brought
In contact with West Point influence That ia
the opinion of many to-day Eight years. /
Deileye Is the maximum sentence imposed In
TINS District for the crime Of manslauyhter-for
the taking of human life-and vet this is only
part OF the outrageous sentence passed upou
Sergeant Mason for the shooting at a man who
had committed one Of the most Infamous crimes
of the age. There were hundreds In the country
at the time who would have killed the man that
Mason shot at, and the public voice would have
approved the act. In this connection, Mr. Editor,
we have but to recall the efforts of the
authorities to save Guiteau from the vengeance
OF the people, and the other attempts that were
made on his life. Take the case of Bill Jones
for instance His attempt was a more deter
mined one than Masons. and yet that man has
never been brought to trial. Is this justice !?
Is this fair treatment to Sergeant Mason that he
should remain in q penitentiary at hard labor
for eight years, while another man, equally as
guilty as he. should enjoy all the blessings of
freedom2 If Bill Jones is not to be punished at
all, certainly Sergeant Mason has been punished
sufIiciently. What says the President? One
week from now Thousands will be In our city
attending the Garfield memorial fair. Would
IL not be good time TO set the captive free? j.

THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA
Interesting Discoveries.

From the New York Mail.
II Prof. Verrill, of Yale college, derived AZ
much pleasure for himself as profit for the
nation from his last summers vacation. he ought
to be invited by the United States fish commits
sion to spend severalmore vacations In the same
way. His paper before the academy Of sciences
yesterday described his discoveries while ex-
ploring the bottom of the sea from Labrador to
Chesapeake Bay. The information he has OBJ
tanned is highly interesting to the public gen.
orally, and 1t must be Of much value to persons
engaged In the coast fisheries. BY means of
1,5OO sOundings within distance OF 200 miles
from shore Prof Verrill has ascertained much
that has heretofore been unknown as to the
character OF the sea bottom, its life, tempera-
ture and currents. His description Of the CLAW
plateau sixty miles off Nantucket living 800 feet
under water remarkable for coldness. of the
basin 100 miles of the southeastern part of
New England, having side as steep as Mount
washington and bottom more than O mile
under water, with fauna never before discoy-
cred outside OF the Gulf of Mexico, the Mediter-
ranean Sea. the Indian Ocean and other tropical
waters, and Of the course Of the gulf stream,
incorrectly described on the maps, furnishes Inn
portant suggestions to fshermen and to the
nations servants who are engaged upon the
problem how to increase the value Of our coast

The system of paving established by your pre-
decessor, the late Major Twining in 1878 has
been adhered to since that date with only such
notifications In details as experience has shown
TO be advisable. Whether or not this system il
applicable to other cities from which we have
constant inquiries) it is hardly necessary to dis
cuss here; but there can be little question that
1t Is well adapted to the conditions existing in
this city, and that it has given nearly
uniform satisfaction here. The essen
tlal features of this system were to lay
pavement of small, regularly shaped granite
blocks, cemented In the joints with tar and
gravel, so as to be thoroughly waterproof, on
streets OF heavy business ravel Of steep grade
or occupied by street railroads In such manner
as 10 restrict the travel in narrow space next
to the curb For streets where the travel was
uniformly distributed and the grade not too
steep an asphalt pavement was adopted con-
slSting of solid base Of concrete masonry six
inches in thickness, protected and covered by
wearing surface two and a half inches
In thickness, composed OF q mixture of
sand and powdered stone cemenfed BY refined
asphalt from Trinidad. The natural bituminous
limestohes of France. commonly called
asphalte were distinctly rejected as being too
slippery, independent of the fact that they were
far more costly than the Trinidad asphalt; and
the Belgian pavement of traprock, the cobble
stone, the rubble, the macadam and the wood
were all cast aside as having been thoroughly
tried and found inferior. The two standard
payements in this city are therefore the
asphalt and the granite block. with tar cemented
joints. In addition to these small amount
OF pavement of compressed asphalt blocks has
been laid each year. At first this was laid as
an experiment, but some of it has now been
more than four years on the streets without any
repairs, and its character is thus pretty well de-
termined. 1t Is. OF course, not equal to granite
in durability nor is it smooth as the sheet
asphalt But it has shown that 1T resists mod
crate traffic very well. gives firm footing for
horses and is less noisy than granite blocks. 1t
is well adapted to large number of our streets,
where the traffic is light; it has been very ac-
ceptable to the residents wherever laid and
there is no reason why it should not be further
used in localities for which it is suitable espe-
cially if the price continues as at present to be
little less than that of asphalt.
The average prices per square yard of the
three classes of pavement for the past four
years and a-half are shown in the following

STREET LIGHTING.


The streets are lighted by gas, under contracts
with the Washington and Georgetown Gaslght
companies, at the rate of S25 per annum for
each lamp, this being the price fixed by Con-
gress. The posts are erected by the District. at
an average cost of about $50 each. After erec-
ton all expenses connected with their care and
MISUNDERSTANDING and extinguishing-are
paid by the gas companies. The number Of
lamps on the Streets alleys and roads, on the
LIST of July. 1881, was 1902. During the year so
new lamps were erected, Is discontinued and 8
relighted, giving a total on June 80. 1882. of
440. During the present year the number
will be increased by about 30. and during the
following year ~ 40 more: so that the average
number to be lighted during the year 1854
will be about 1890. The cost of these at S25
each, will be $107.250; adding $1,000 for erect
ing new lamps the total is 31OS,250, which is
the amount of the estimate submitted.
beg leave again to invite your attention to
the unsatisfactory condition of the law regard
ing the lighting of the streets. This law (act OF
June 30, 1874, } limits the number of hours dur
ing which the lamps may be lighted at 220O per
annum, an average OF hours each night. The
intention of the law was to have the lamps eX
tinguished during moonlight, and it followed
the practice of small cities IN this respect. All
the larger cities in the country have now aban-
