solution of the strcet-cleaning problem. Mr.. Nc
Grudder thought the proper way was 10 shovel the
snow into the sewers. Another member stated this
had been tried in Paris. and it had been found that
choked the sewers The feasibility of melting the

on the snow in London had been fOund to lower the
temperature of the slosh much That pedestrians
took cold and the hospitals iled.A law was then
passed forbiddiugt. lie thought the sprinkling of
the streets with salt water would have like effect
The question of removing snow by steam was then
brought up. Various mcthods were suggestedo OF an
plying this such as having a boiler dragged through
the streets from which steam could be forced into
the snow. The general opinion seemed 10 be- how
ever that the most practicable and cheapest way
was TO gather the snow in carts and dump 1t into

Special to the Memphis Avalanche.
Nashville, July 29.-One of the
the most shameless acts of vandalism
chronicled in the history of the world,
has occurred at the state capitol Dur
ing the past few months. This is not
less than the wholesale destruction of
the archives of the state records Of
the quartermaster's department of the
Unived States, including all the docu>
ments which affect federal soldiers
from this state; six large volumes Of
the supreme court docket, the only
copy in existence; nearly all the re.
ports of Comptroller Gaines; also a
large number of the acts of the legis>
lature, with appendix of the house
and senate, together with an unknown
number of decisions of the supreme
court. A box containing rare books
was rifled, the latter being the proper
ty Of the Tennessee historical society.
Among these were twelve or sixteen
volumes of Washington's correspon>
dence and messages, a work of much
rarity that it would command almost
any price.
1t appears that these books were
sold as old paper at ajunk shop and it
would cost the state $40, 000to replace
them. There has been no superinten-
dent at the capitol since the death of
Superintendent dustin several weeks
ago, and as the Legislature refused to
make an appropriation for night
Waterman the theft was an easy mat
ter. The state officers became aware
Of this theft some time ago, and had
everything locked up 50 as to prevent
further theft. 1t would probable
never had been known had it not ac-
cidentally crept out to-day.

Railroad, spur track of twelve males
Next he was general manager or general
superintendent of the Rockford, Rock

of the Peoria 81 Rock Island railroad.
He early became director of the Chicago,
Rock Island s. Pacific Company, and had
for several years been identified with that

brought about the purchase of the Mn
neapolis 81 st. Louis roa l, and the organ
ization of the Albert Lea Route between
Minneapolis, St Paul and the East and
South, partly in the retaliationfor invasion
of territory by Milwaukee 81 st. Paul,

the steady increase and large promise of

words of commentator for the fauliless

the entire presentation being devoid of that
timidity which is to be expected of little
children making their debut upon the
stage. and the scenic effects were indeed
spectacle of sublime grandeur, being pro-
nounced by all as magnificent, being with
out doubt the finest mechanical illustrations
ever witnessed in this city. Space Will not

good qualities, but the house viii undoubt-
