SHOULD HAVE BEEN ASPHALT.

The contract has been let for paving
Monroe-st., with the Hallwood blocks,
they having best stood the tests I'M
posed by the Board of Public Works.
1t is. to be regretted, however. that the
board did not conclude to pave Cam
pau Place with asphalt. The smooth,
even and practically noiseless surface
OF that material. free from crevices or
breaks to hold the water and filth,
makes it the finest and most desirable
material for large open space of any
kind. Campau Place, with an asphalt
pavement, would then be of uniform
appearance aud surface with Canal-st.,
with which It sppesrs more prominently
connected than with Monroe. The
TELEGRAM HERALD has no fault to find
with the boards cnoice of material for
Monroe-st., but thinks that IL mas made
a grave mistake in not paving toe
whole Of Csmpau Place with asphalt as
far az the crossvalk at the angle OF the
wonderly building. Both utility,
beauty and cleanliness required it.

But Mr.. Price Can Find no Trace of His
Missing Horse.
H. c. Prico was in the city again yes
terday looking for his horse, which was
stolen on Monday night, an account
which appeared exclusively in THE
TIMES yesterday morning. Although a
diligent search has boen made by the
police both in this city and Vinton, no
trace of the missing animal has been
discovered.
Mr.. Price thinks the horse has been
sold to Franklin county man who was
in the city on Monday and returning
late that night met the hief, when
bargain was quickly made.
John Stump. the suspected thief, has,
however, been located, and if the au-
thorities of Roanoke county want him,
Chief Morris will have him here on short
notice. He is at Murfree's boarding
house, about one mile from Bluefeld.
Stump's career appears to be pretty
crooked If reports coming from various
quarters are to DO believed. A. +. Gal
ley, 3l5 Eighth n. w, after seeing the
account of his recent exploit in TIE

that Stump had about six months ago
stolen a lot of clothing from him, and
he had not been able to locate him
