The Popular Caterer Making Extensive
Changes.

Changes.
People passing along Market street
Yesterday were somewhat surprised TO
see the lively shaking up and general
confusion that prevailed at bursts con-
fectionery store. Windows were being
torn out, counters and furnitura moved,
and the stairs leading up from the out
side being torn away. There was quite
force of workmen engaged, Mr.. burst
having arranged to have the change
made at certain time and as rapidly
as possible.
The establishment Is TO be designed
on the metropolitan plan, and when fin
ished will be one of the finest in the
State. The first floor is TO be extended
TO alley B, the end window to be re-
moved, and light to be furnished from
a skylght. Both sides of the store al
most the entire length will be composed
entirely of mirrors, and also the rear
end where the windows are now
located. A handsome tile floor
IS also to be constructed, and
new furniture, including upholstered
chairs of the latest design, will consti-
tute the appointments. By the re-
moval OF the stairs leading up from the
outside, the store is considerably wild
ened in front, and when finished will
present most attractive appearance.
A series of beautiful chandeliers which
Mr.. burst has already selected, will
flood the handsome interior with light.
All the arrangements of the interior
will accord with the sumptuous sur
roundings. 1t is expected to have the
store fully completed by the time the
State Fair begins.

IT is difficult to believe the startling
story that comes from a Paris news
paper about the young Emperor OF Ger
many preaching a sermon to the crew
of the Hohenzollern between the hours
of IL D. m. and a. m, and becoming
so violently insane that it was necessary
to put him in strait-jacket. And every
body will be 10th to believe it. The
young Emperor has given indications OF
being the brightest and best monarch OF
Europe, whose sole aim is the good OF
his country and his people. From what
the world at large knows OF Emperor
WILLIAM we take him to be a rather
impetuous young man, liable to make
mistakes, but hard headed and sensible,
withal, and the last person to make
such spectacle Of himself as was re-
lated in the Paris Ecldir.

II will be seen that McKINLEY's fig
ures do not agree with those Of other
high tariff leaders, speaking and
writing in the same campaign on the
same side. In fact the high tariff men
never do agree even with themselves.
They have different sets of figures for
different audiences. They try to make
the manufacturer believe that the tariff
lessons the price of his raw material,
and the farmer, that it raises it.
The general result of the increase OF
the wool duties is that the consumer
has TO pay higher price for his cloth
ing and gets an inferior article in re-
turn: the wool growers are securing
lower prices for their product, and the
manufacturers are not prospecting, if
their complaints and the frequent fail
ures among them are any evidence OF
their condition. II is high time that
the Republican press should point to
somebody whom the new wool duties
have actually benefited.

Now Plan to Consume Rubbish.

"There ought to be some more effec-
tive way of Kidding the city OF garbage
and rubbish" said well-known citizen
yesterday. "Of course the crematory
does good work, but considering the
long distance the carts have to go to
convey the garbage, it is almost impos-
sible to keep the city constantly clean
ed up. The consequence is that in
many alleyways throughout the city,
and occasionally in the principal thor
oughfares, there are unsightly and un-
savory scenes
"How would you remedy this?" asked
the reporter.
"Well, now, my idea would be to con-
struot an inclinAd shnte from th~ o-e'"~
tory to the base of the hill, the shute to
eont:in two immense buckets to be
worked by an endless chain, one bucket
TO come down while the other is going
up. With this continuance the carts
would only have to haul to the bottom
of the shute, and being saved the trav-
cling I'D the hill, would have more time
to gather up the rubbish more effect
ually. This plan is in operation now in
one CITY out west"

the central and southeastern counties OF
this State, the continued drought has
rendered the prospects for the fall har-
vest extremely discouraging.
In most of the counties the pasturage
is burned up; corn, potatoes and garden
truck are scared by the warm, dry
winds, and the ground is so baked that
it is almost impossible for team to pull
a plow.

In the west and northwestern cOun-
ties the moisture that was so fortunately
stored in the soil during the early part
of the season, and which carried through
the spring crop to successful maturity,
is now pretty well exhausted. The corn
and potatoes have greatly felt the
drought during the last week, and all
fall crops have been rendered much less
promising.

THE "INTELLIGENCER" AND THE
BRIDGE

In response to the REGISTERS ex-
pressed apprehension that It's esteemed
neighbor, the Inteligc,ccr, would have
another stone bridge fit over the col
lapse of the houses near the excavation
at Main street Saturday, our neighbor
says:
The TntsUfgsncer is not in danger Of hav-
ing ANYTHING more serious than laughing
I'll over the REGISTERS ridiculous claim
that 1.-The same hole would have been dug,
under the same conditions, had II been Tor
an iron bridge
And in this light and airy vein our
neighbor continues:
The editor Of the REGISTER should con-
suit a competent engineer and ascertain
that little more than half the work OF the
character mentioned would have been re-
quired for an iron or steel bridge.
II the mind Of our esteemed contem-
porary Will wander back through the
files Of the REGISTER for couple OF
weeks or so it will find lengthy inter
views with many people, among them
competent engineers, on this subject.
Not having our neighbours mysterious
power Of evolving bridge building
knowledge from its inner consciousness,
the first thing the REGISTER did was 10
consult competent engineers before ven
turing to discuss the matter. These
have informed US that the excavation
necessary TO reach a foundation for an
abutment for an iron bridge would, to
all practical intcntS and purposes, be
lust the same as the present excavation,
that is, just as deep, nearly, II not
quite, as wide, and probably ten or nj
teen feet longer. which would in fact
increase the danger that has been en-
countered. II the bridge editor Of the
Iiltelligcpcer were old enough to remem-
Der the building Of the present iron
structure at Market street he would re-
call the fact that il took more time and
trouble 10 reach foundation for the
north abutment Of that rattle-trap than
il has for both abutmentS of the stone
bridge at Main street. II took all Of one
summer to get one abutment started,
while now we have both abutmentS
started on the Main street stone bridge,
though the conditions have been most
unfavorable, and the work is rapidly
progressing, TO the evident disgust Of the
calamity editor Of the IntoIigonoer.
The latter Sour-tempered individual
then calls our attention TO commune

rance shown up by a Taxpayer

ask Mr.. REGISTER, who was the principa
promoter OF stc1e bridge, and who, NJ

Overlooking the impotence of oul

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT.
The Plans Submitted Slightly Defective.
Another Meeting This Afternoon.

The Electric Light Commission met
at the City Hall, last evening, to ex-
anime the plans OF the building sub
mitted by Architect E. B. Franzheim,
and TO prepare the advertisement for
the bids for the work, should all the re-
ouirements of the situation have been
met in the designs. The Commission
was a little disappointed at not finding
the plans perfect, and put the matter In
tho hands OF the Executive Committee,
which will meet again this afternoon at
three o'clock. 1t is hoped the adver-
tisements for bids can appear in to-
morrow's papers.
When the Commission met, the speci-
Hcations for the building were read by
Chairman Farrell, and after several
amendments had been noted by Mr..
Vincent Musil, the draughtsman, who
represented Mr.. Franzheim. they were
approyed. They will be revised, how
ever. and again submitted at the meet
ing TO be held this afternoon.
The building plans were then examin-
ed. and II was found that by reason Of
some Misunderstanding the dimensions
of the boiler house were wrong,
the building shown being but
40 feet 9 inches long from east
to west, which would afford room for
hut four boilers, whereas the battery
consists of six boilers, with twelve
foot driveway between the east boiler
and the west wall of the engine house.
The architect was instructed to so
change the plans as to provide for a
boiler house extending west as far as
the east wall of the gas works stable,
| which will add about nineteen feet to
the length of the building, and give
room for the two additional boilers and
the stack.
The location Of the engine founda-
tions were not shown upon the ground
plan: neither were the foundations for
! the shafting, ETC., indicated. After q
discussion it was resolved to place the
whole matter In the hands of the Exec
utiye Committee. with instructions to
make all additions, rectify errors, etc,
and when the matter was in shape, tC
advertise for bids for the construction
of the work. The Commission then ad.
| iourned and the Executive Commit
| tee met, and after a conference
with the draughtsman, to whom the
changes and additions were explained
adjourned 10 meet this after
noon at three o'clock, at which
time the amended plans will be ready
The Committee eliminated from presen,
consideration all the foundations FOR the
engine, boilers, shafting, ETC., and, Il
necessary, these will be made the sub
| iect of future advertisement for bids
Meanwhile, the construction Of the
building proper can go on.
The house shown In the plans is /,
plain structure, sixteen feet high to tn,
TOD Of the walls. and twenty-eight fee
high to the comb of. the roof, strongly
constructed. and will make an excellen
