Hugger-Muggering with Noble Street.
EDITORS HERALD: 1t looks very much
as if the hugger-muggering that has
been had with the proposal to pave
Pearl street, from Sixth to Pico, were
going to result dsastrously to the prop
erty-holders. see by the report of the
proceedings of the council that the re-
advertising for bids made, necessary by
Mayor Hazards veto of the first award,
has resulted in another lone bid to do
the work. We were told when the veto
was before the council that it ought to
be sustained, because there were several
responsible contractors who wanted to
bid for the work, but were frightened off
by false report of the tenor of the
opinion OF a law firm on the validity OF
the bonds. What is the result? The
company, whose bid was thrown out by
the Mayors veto, withdrew from the
field, and the only bid received Monday
was from the contractor who was mainly
instrumental in defeating the first bid.
Now let us see what the "kickers"
on our street have gained by helping to
bring about this state OF affairs.
The Bituminous Lime Rock Paw
ing company offered to do
the paving for 3414 cents per square
foot. J. E. Smiths bid is 26ls cents
per foot if paved with Chino bitumin-
ous rock, and 1896 if paved with San
Luis Obispo rock. The Chino rock has
never been used in this city, and it
would be an experiment if used in this
instance. The San Luis Obispo rock
which the contractor proposes to use
comes from different deposit from that
which has been satisfactorily tested in
this city, and therefore its use here may
also be set down as an experiment.
Now, how does the case stand? The
''kickers." with the aid of his honor the
mayor, backed by information on the
aforesaid law opinion derived from Mr..
Adolph Mayrisch, have accomplished
the marvellous result of securing on the
second trial single bid which is just
2.30 cents less per foot than that made
by the home company. Now, let US ask,
will pay to experiment in new bitumen
in job like this one that involves cost
of over $10O, 900 for the sake of 2.3O
cents on each square foot? The great
noise made about the exorbitant charge
OF the first bid for curbing, was consid-
erable of tom-tom performance. AT
the utmost there is not 5000 feet of the
street that is not now curbed. So that
all there was in this uproar was
that the curbing might possibly be
made for five or six cents less the run
ming foot, making perhaps saving OF
from $3.50 to $500 on the entire job.
Well, there you are. One of our
noblest streets ia to be subjected to an
experimental trial of one of two kinds Of
so-called bituminous rock, OF which tine
city engineer knows nothing whatever
| He is told that the Chino rock has been
down in crossings in Ontario for two

 ofManual Training.

ofManual Training.
 In the lecture room of the Dixwell ave- nue church Rev. A. P. Miller presided last evening at meeting of colored people who had assembled to take the preliminary steps to establish training school for young colored persons.
 The meeting was not largely attended, but considerable enthusiasm was manifest ed by those who were in favor of the pro- ject. It is the intention of those interest ed to establish training school in the building on the corner of Golf and Sperry streets and to engage as instructor James s. Shells. who it is believed is very capa- ble teacher. Among those who advocated the scheme at last nights meeting were John R. Gaudet, James Mitchell and sev- eral others, who were appointed on a com- mittee. After discussion the following resolutions were adopted:
 Whereas, many of our boys are anxious to learn trades, but are by prejudice deprived from so doing,
 Resolved That it is the sense of this meeting that mechanical training school for our youth be established.
 Resolved, That since Mr. James s. Schells a Master Workman, has offered to lend his aid to the establishment of such training school, we heartily endorse him as a worthy representative of our race, and that shall accept his offer and shall do whatever is necessary to make the work success.
 Resolved, That since the Lincoln school build ing was originally built for the coored people we respectfully petition the trustees of said building for the use of the building for the above pur' pose.
 Resolved, That a committee be appointed tc wait upon the trustees of the Lincoln building tC secure the building for the purpose of mechan ical training school for colored youth. At the meeting the following committee was appointed to endeavor to secure the building for the purpose: Rev. A. P. Mil Ter, Charles McLinn, Rev. E. G. Riddle, Councilman Beaulah, Joseph Martin, Rev. w. H. Morris, Rev. George H. Jackson.

CONGREGATIONAL CLUB.

Supper at the College Street Church. Address by Rev. MT. Riddle o1 Hartford.
 The first regular meet of the Congrega- tional club was held in the College street church last night After social of halt hour the members, 100 strong, went in tc | @ bountiful supper. Directly after supper short business session was held and then the club went into the church and listened to lucid and impressive presentation of the Mission of Congregationalism" by the Rev. Jacob A. Riddle of Hartford, form CT resident of New Haven. He said in l brief: What is the raison d. etre of Con- gregationalisms Is the Congregational | church necessity or a conveniencs? The Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches have logical existence, based on their l views of the divine origin of their holity. | I do not see any distinctive principle for which Presbyterianism or Methodism stand.
 The Congregational church is founded on absolute democracy, to maintain this liberty and live in it worthily is the omis- sion of Congregationalism. There are two forms of government possible-monarchy and democracy; papacy represents the one congregationalism the other We claaim that pure democracy is divine and the highest form of government in the world. The principle for which we stand we know is eternal, however unfit we may be for it:
 The original merit of the Congregational church was this, that, when it established itself on Plymouth Rock, it freed itself from all old country forms It went at one step, back to the time of Pentecost.
 The other churches are exerting most of their energies to correcting old abuses. We freed ourselves from them 300 years ago. Christendom is looking for 8 leader. While the other churches are squabbling over creed and policy the Congregational church, freed from all these, stands in the forefront to lead in the practical work of Christ.
 Short five-minute discussions followed, in which Mr.C. B. .Whitconb, Dr. McLane. Mir. Clark and others took part.
 Among the people present were: Rev. Newman Smyth, D. D., Rev. J. E. Twitch- ell, Professor Baldwin, Rev. William W. McLane, D. D., William L. Kingsley, Mr. John C. North. MT. Evarts Cutler, Rev. William T. Reynolds of North Haven, c. B. Whitcomb, F. w. Benedict and many other prominent men among the laity and clergy.

What! winter2 Well, if not, an uncommonly good imitation.
 Quite a "cap-full," as the sail or men say, of chilly, sweeping gusts that sprinkle the dust about too liberally for comfort, and send street loiterers home at night to light and warmth a bit before their usual hour.
 The breeze that blows down the chestnuts breaks up the weather-if that's not a proverb it's worthy of being one.
 Everything forecasts the com ing of King "Winter"--"box" cars in place of the breezy "open" -overcoats in lieu of "outing" shirts, wraps where the natty shirt waists were once visible, even the ubiquitous yachting cap has tunbled of its perch along with the other chestnuts.
