TO 90 AHEAD WITH THE PAVING
The Contract for the Paving of BrOugh-
ton Street Signed.

A rumor got abroad yesterday or the
day before that an effort would be made
in the City Council to have the Broughton
street paving matter reconsidered. Those
who voted in favor Of awarding the con-
tract for the paving OF the street to the
Warren-Scharf Asphalt Company said
that there would not be a reconsidera-
ton, as 1t was not thought that any of
their number would take this step. When
the Council came out of caucus at yester-
day afternoons meeting nothing was said
about a reconsideration, and after the
meeting was over the Mayor and the
Finance Committee signed the contract
on the part Of the city, and Mr.. Warren
signed for his company. BY the terms of
the contract the contractors agree to COM
plete the concrete base on BrOughtOn
street by May 1, and to complete the
pavement by May 10, or forfeit $50 for
every day the work is delayed. The bond,
which is for $4,000, will be fixed up to-
day.

IERUsALEM LAMENTATIONS.

The French Dominicans, having &C.
CURED some ground al Jerusalem just
outside the Damascus gate, have made
some discoveries in the course OF their
work OF clearing the ground and making
the necessary preparations for enclosing
the property. About six metres below
the present level they came upon some
carefully built arches Of considerable ex-
tent. They found also, a little further
on, the basement OF a chapel. before the
entrance of which there was a tombstone
with a long inscription. Unfortunately
some one made away with the stone be-
fore the inscription was copied. A large
mosaic was found about the middle OF
the property. The ground is supposed
to be the site Of the great b~asilica, built
in the fifth century in honor of st.
Stephen by Eudoxia, the wife of the
Emperor Arcadius. At a point where
they were clearing out for a boundary
wall the ground gave way and n OF the
workmen disappeared. On clearing out
the place a large and beautiful hall was
found, partly rock cut and partly lined
with masonry. Leading from these were
three vaults, in one of which were three
great covered sarcophagi, supposed to
contain the remains of Queen Abiadenos
and her sons

yaMIGRATION.

The first eight months Of the year 1886
there came into the United States, via
Panama, 2, l3S people; from China and
Japan, 1886; from the Sandwich Islands,
1,l66; from Australia, lao; from Mex
leo, 2S2; from British Columbia, 1908;
from other countries by rail, 81; by
water, $1,000. Total, 7l,l9S. In 1885,
for the like period, the immigration ag-
gregated but So, 100. In 1885, for the
first eight months, there departed from
us IS, 33l, and in a like period for the
present year, $3.50. 1t will thus be
seen that there was a decided net gain
for the months Of 1886 over the period
named for 1885. Thus we have re.
ceived this year 1868 more than de.
parted, while for the same period in 1885
we received ID, 468 more than departed
"a net gain for 1886 over 1886 of 2. Isl.
We received in the first eight months of
1856 Is, 399 more immigrants than for a
like period in 1885. A gratifying show.
ing is also made in the immigration from
the Orient. or Chinese and Japanese,
in 1885, for eight months. we received
$3.50 more Chinese than departed. while
in 1886 the surplus of arrivals over de.
partures was but 4S6. These figures are
suggestive of a healthy growth, Of steady
increasing immigration and of decreasing
Chinese incoming.

THE EXTENT OF PaOaIBITIoN.


The extent and force of the prohibition
movement are strikingly illustrated by
the fact that Massachusetts, and Texas,
two States which are not more widely
separated in geography than in social
characteristics, held Prohibition conven.
tions and nominated Prohibition tickets
on the same day. For Massachusetts
this is nothing new; but the evidence
that Texas can rally a political temper.
anc party makes it necessary to revise
the general idea of that State. Perhaps
the Texans have decided to have her
reputation changed; and possibly the
foundation for that reputation is the
strongest evidence to them that some.
thing must be done to restrain the
bibulous tendencies of their extensive
commonwealth. There is room for a
wide difference of opinion as to the prac'
ticability aud wisdom of the remedy for
intemperance proposed by the Prohibition
platform; but when it takes in Massa-
chusetts and Texas at the same time,
there is no doubt that the movement is
in earnest.
