STREET WORK
TO be Done before Next Winter
Arrives.


There is an immense amount OF street
work to be finished in this city before
the next winter sets in, and the contrac-
tors will be kept busy with large force
of men if the contracts are to be com
pleted within the time specified. On
Monday last large number of bids were
handed in TO the Council for street work
consisting mostly Of grading, but there
are apparently as many streets still in the
field to be bid upon. Notices of intention
to establish the grades of Lazard street
from Amelia street to the river,
Adams street from Grand avenue to
Figueroa street, Water street from
Third street to Palmetto, Arnold street
from Lucas avenue to Nichols avenue,
Central avenue from Vegas to Washing
ton, Merchant street from Seventh, one

media, William from Diamond to Temple,
First from Main to the river, Lake from
Eleventh to Seventh, Chestnut from Nu-
gent to point 900 feet north OF Arroyo
street, Eighth from Alvarado
to Grand View Avenue, Adelaide
from Euclid $50 feet easterly
Euclid street from Louisiana to $50 feet
south OF Dawn street, and Anne street
from Main street extension south are be-
ing published. This is but the prelimi-
nary step. The next to be taken is the
publication OF the resolution to grade and
then comes the advertisement for bids.
Besides this grading work there are many
miles OF streets to be paved for which
the specifications were passed at the last
meeting of the Council. With all this
work on hand and in view, there can be
but little doubt of the activity OF the city
for many months to come.

THE WRONG NUMBER.
Reeds $4,000 Air Castle Dashed to
the Ground.

On Wednesday everybody who knew
Will Reed, the barber in Susands shop
on Spring street, hastened to congratu-
late him when the news went round that
he had won $5 900 in the Louisiana Lot
terry. Reed was quite jubilant over the
affair himself; he dropped the white
jacket of seryitude and announced his
intention Of going back home to Chicago
as soon as he had cashed the ticket.
During the day he. one way and
the other, spent 500 in prepa-
rations for his trip and was
mentally hard at work making
plans for the investment of his capital.
But alas all his hopes have vanished as
rapidly and completely as the colors in
the bursted soap-bubbe OF the school
boy. A telegram was received in town
yesterday morning, saying thata mistake
had been made in transmitting the num-
bers the night before and the corrected
account showed that Reed had missed
the $1,000 by just six numbers. The
disappointment must have been & keen
one and Reed will probably return to
work entertaining no very pleasant feel
ings toward those who manipulated the
transmission OF the numbers to this CITY.

lowing gentlemen General Powell Clay

The proceedings were opened by
Clarkson on behalf OF the subcommittee
on Arrangements, making reports con
cerning the plan OF seating that had been
adopted. The allotment OF 200 more
tickets to Chicago than the original zoe
proposed, was the subject OF debate. AS
the result the number OF tickets for local
distribution was decreased, being re-
stricted from total Of 900 to $50.
Clarkson called attention to the mat,
ter of selecting chaplain. Several
members of the Committee at once inter
iected that different chaplain every
morning was desirable. One OF the
committeeman mischievously proposed
that no chaplain be selected by the name
OF Burchard.
Another gentleman moved that the
chaplain's prayers every morning be
submitted in manuscript before delivery
to the Chairman OF the Convention.
Chairman Jones thought the officers o.
the Convention would have enough
to do to attend to their own prayers.
The matters OF prayers and chaplains
was then promptly relegated to the sub
Committee on Arrangements.
Without taking up the contests, oi
which there are several, including the
important one from Virginia between the
Malone and Riddleberger delegations
on the appointment OF temporary officers
for the Convention, in which SO much
interest centers. the committee at
P. NJ adjourned until S o'clock tomorrow

TIE PACIFIC COASTERS.
The Delegates nj Denvcr-g mani.
mons for HlniEe.

rnOus for Blaiie.
DENVER, June 14.-That portion of the
Pacific Coast delegation, consisting Of
California, Oregon and Nevada arrived
in this city at six this morning over the
Union Pacific. Most of the delegates
and visitors are accompanied by their
wives. The party consists Of one hun
dred and sixty people. The train is
composed of seven sleepers and dining,
commissary and baggage cars, and is
without doubt the incest equipped train
that ever crossed the continent. On
their arrival the delegations we're met by
members of the Union Club and a com
mittee OF citizens, who entertained them
with carriage drive over the city dur
ing the morning and reception at the
Chamber OF Commerce this afternoon.
They resumed their journey East this
evening.
Geo. De Cola, secretary OF the Califor-
MIA delegation, in conversation on the
political situation, said:
The Pacific Coast is unit for Blaine
we want no other, and will have none
other, unless it is impossible for us to
prevail upon him to accept the nomina-
tion. We have thought of no other man,
and have no second choice; nor have we
yet given the second place on the ticket
any consideration.
Chas. f. Crocker expressed the same
idea as to the choice OF the people of the
West, and added:
"While all are for Blaine, we do not
desire to have the people understand we
will cast our votes solid for him on
the first ballot Ii Blaine will
not accept we will consult with our
friends in Indiana, New York and other
States and will then support the candi-
date who will have the greatest influence
in carrying the doubtful States. We have
not yet thought of the Nice-P President,
and will give no attention to this until
We have determined upon man TO fill
first place. We have only one thing to
ask OF the Convention. We will present
the name of NJ. NJ. Estee OF Napa, ior
temporary chairman and would like to
see him unanimously elected"
Nj. D. Foley, chairman OF the delega-
Gion, said.
"We want Blaine, but ii we can't get
him we will support the next best man.
But before We express any choice we will
wait and see what Colorado wants. Our
interests are identical. We are for silver
and lead and for protection. | want to
see all the delegations between the Mis-
souri, river and the Pacific unite in favor
OF these three, and intend to use all my
efforts to secure this result. As to the
ticket nominated at st. Louis, | think it
the best the Democrats could put up.
Thurman has always been a great favor
lite with us, and think he will be the
means Of securing more votes for the
party than any other Democrat in the
country. My honest opinion is that the
head OF the Democratic ticket is at the
tail"
BARN, chairman of the Oregon delega-
ton, had nothing to say except that they
were all for Blaine. The party expressed
themselves as having had most delight
ful trip.
