A Display to : empt Burglars.

A visit to III. Sternberg's attractive Jew

ASPHALT PAVING WORK.
The Crusher to be Started To-Day
Activity at the Yards.

The curbing is about completed on Liberty
street from Wheaton to West Broad streets,
and workmen have nearly completed the
sewer traps rs far west as Montgomery
street. The grading has already begun, and
the Broughton street grading is nearly COM
pleted.
A MORNING NEWS reporter visited yes
terday the mixing yard of the Southern
Vulcanite Paving Company at West Bound
airy and Bryan streets, and the crushing
yard at Harris and West Broad streets.
Director Scott and Supt. Vdndenburg were
at the latter yard directing the finish
ing work. This yard viii be ready
for operation to-day. In fact fire
was put, under the boiler yes
terday, and to-day the machinery will be
tried and some granite crushed if every
thing works smoothly. The crusher is in
position, the elevators have been attached,
the huge revolving screen is in place, and
the slide troughs to the massive bins, twelve
in number, were being lined with sheet
iron yesterday afternoon. The company
expect TO begin to spread the granite for
the base Of the pavement on Broughton
street the early part of next week. The
heavy ten-tOn crusher has arrived and is at
the Central railroad wharves.
The mixing yard was all activity yester-
day. Men were unloading sand from a
lighter, and Others were engaged getting
the engine for running the elevators
and heaters in position. The engine
for pumping compressed air into
the melting tanks is ready for
the foundation. An accident caused some
delay this week. the iron smoke stack of the
melting or asphalt furnace was struck by
derrick and it fell, carrying two other iron
stacks with it, being the stack Of the boiler
and the heating furnace. The timber is
being delivered for the foundation and
structure upon which the mixers are to be
placed, and the yard is filling up with bar
rels of asphalt and coal tar diStilate, which
are arriving by every steamer
There is a great deal of work to be done
at the mixing yard, and it will hardly be in
good working order before the early part
of week after next-ample time, as it will
give the crushing yard opportunity to get
q stock in the bins. In ten days the two
yards will be in active operation, and
asphalting will doubtless be under way on
Broughton street.

fight, however, promises to be made on col
lector Of customs and the postofice. This
will be q war to the knife, and from the
knife to the hilt. 1t is understood that the
Doyle faction has won first blood, as Capt.
Doyle is said to have been selected as rep
resentative Irish republican and protection
list of the south on the Inauguration com
mittee, and will accept the place and be
present in his official capacity. 1t is ex-
pected that he will make favorable i'm
preston, and tnat his friends will follow it
up by pressing his claims for appointment
Vigorously.
TO INCREASE THE PATRONAGE.
One Of the expectant officeholders said
yesterday that there will be more patronage
to be dispensed under the Harrison admin
istration. He intimated that larger force
of inspectors of customs will be appointed,
and sad that the democrats had a fool no.
ton Of economy which had resulted not
only in weakening the party by depriving
it of the spoils, but that had invited and
maintained a system of smuggling which
had been kept up systematically because
there was no disposition to break it up. 1t
is his Judgment that a return will be had
to the increased force under former repub-
lican administrations.

The City and Suburban Objects to the
Belt Line Crossing Its Tracks.
President Johnston of the City and Su-
burban railway and President Estill of the
Belt Line were before the street ard lane
committee of the city council yesterday.
The City and Suburban company objected
to the Belt Line connecting its tracks
on East Broad street, on the
ground that it had promised not TO put
down any more tracks. There was appar-
emily some misunderstanding about the
matter. TIE committee of coun-
Gil decided, however, that it
had nothing to do with such
an arrangement, but had only to decide
whether or not it was to the best interest
of the public to give the Bet Line what it
asked for without regard to what agree
ment existed between the two roads. The
committees decision in regard to the matter
was not made public, but will be reported
to council at its next meeting The ques-
tion of the City and Suburban Railway
Company extending its tracks TO the
theater was also before the committee.

GOLD WATCH 81 A WEEK.
This is Not an 1nstallment Plan and
Consequently We Do Not Charge
You from $40 to $40 More for a
Wach Than it is Worth.


The Watch Club is in no sense of the word a
lottery. Fifty-two members compose club,
each member pays 81 a week, or 81 a
month, this amount pays for one watch each
week Then, in order to determine who shall
get the watch first, we take the fifty-two names
and put them in box, and any member of the
club can Draw one out, and the name thus
drawn is the one that gets the watch; he takes
it and continues to pay his 81 a week till paid
for. Then next week taere are fifty-on names
in the box. ana one more is taken out. thus; you
see, leaving fifty, aud next week one more, and
so on until Che entire lot has been drawn which
of course occurs, in fifty weeks, sure. The last
man to draw his watch receives a handsome
gold chain as premium for waiting.
Members are in no wise responsible for any
loss that may occur. Who is it that cannot
save ST. week? If you join a club now and
pay 81 a week the time will pass by and you
will be a watch ahead, and have Just as much
money ahead as il you had not gone in club
for it is as sure as fate that if you do not spend
the 81 for a watch, 1t will go for something else,
and you will be no better off in the end. Join
now, clubs constantly forming.
1t is not necessary for you to come in each
week to pay your 81, we can send our young
man after it and give you receipt If you get
sick or out of employment you do not forfeit
you money; it is held to your credit for two
years.

FREE TRADE OYSTERS.
That is the Basis OF the Oystermens
Campaign.

That Is the Basis of the Oysterm ems
Campaign.
The communication of Dr. A. Oemler in
yesterdays MORNING NEWS advocating his
oyster bill, does not appear to convince the
oyster fishers and local dealers that it is the
best thing for them.
1t is claimed that DR.. Oemler is at fault
when he says that white oystermen were at
the Thunderbolt meeting and subscribed TO
the fund to fight the Oemler bill. On the
contrary, it is said that all present were
colored, and not dollar has been sub
scribed by white oystermen, but that they
will do so at the proper time.
IL was learned yesterday that DR.. Oemler
has invited the oyster men to meet him at
Thunderbolt tomorrow for conference, at
which he Is expected to explain the pro-
visions OF his bill, and solicit signatures to
petition to the legislature for its passage.
II is not unlikely that the opponents Of the
bill will be present to oppose such friendly
action.
Two Intellectual efforts were made by Dr.
Oemler to get the representatives from
Chatham and the Savannah oystermen and
oyster dealers together in this city last
month, to confer about the proposed law,
but DR.. Oemler and NJ. NJ. Sullivan were
the only ones present, and as their views
were diverse, nothing ever came of the con-
ference, DR.. Oemer Il ally taking action
on his own account. AS was noted in the
MORNING NEWS yesterday, the bill will be
antagonized vigorously by the oystermen
through their attorney Mr.. Beckwith, and
the oyster dealers expect also TO be repre-
sented in opposition TO tho proposed legis-
lation. Free trade in oysters is the plan of
the oystermen's campaign.
