The brick paving force on South Main
expected to reach the culvcrt early to-
day but work was temporarily stopped
this morning, while special meeting
OF the Joint Board was held, hay

brace and protect the paving. The Board
also agreed to furnish the necessary
plank.
The company has put down the sand
and crushed stone between the rails pre-.

BIDS tor this work were submitted by

and E. II. Britt. The bids in totals were
as follows: Colvin, $4,1S7.5O; Smith,
So'5o750; Wood, $3.397.5O; Britt,
1852. The bid OF Wood Bros. was in
irregular form and was not considered
A motion was made by Mr.. Hunt that
the bid of Mr.. Britt be accepted, but be-

given to City Engineer Lee, to calculate
carefully and decide which was the low

totals as given above.
Then followed some discussion, Mr..
Gudger taking the ground that Mr..
britts work for the city heretofore had
proven unsatisfactory, and therefore it
would be best to give the contract to
someone else. Mr. Baird said he was
not so sure about that, because if Mr..

There was splendid crowd here TODAY.
Fully tive times as many farmers were
on hand as greeted Crawford two Years
ago when Ewart's throat got sore and
he jumped the canvass.
Crawford led of and made a splendid
speech, showing the people that the pres
ent depressed condition of the country
was due to laws passed by the Republi-
can party and that Mr.. Pritchard did
not propose single measure of relief.
Pritchard and his assistant, Brown,
were both on hand, pooling their strength
ag'inst Crawford. The people of this
country look upon Brown as only a
helper for Pritchard, and the Third party
is dropping to pieces as fast as the acorns
are falling in Mcdowell.
Intchard argues nothing. He simply
says that the country is in better con
dltlon than 1t ever was; that there is
more money. and that only calamity

YALE PLAYERS REST.
The Men Practice the Signals But Do No
Work-BIiss Still Cripple.

NEW HAVEN, Nov. lG-For the first day
given rest, Monday. The men were
pretty stiff and tired after the battle of Sat
urday and the rest was welcome. The Uni
versity men ran around the track at the
field for couple of miles to keep their
wind in good shape, and then spent nearly
an hour in practising the plays which they
will use in the next games. They simply
lined up and went through the moves and
signals.
The coaches who directed the work We're
Rhodes, Ileffeltinger, McClung, Walter
Camp, Hartwell and Havery. Captain Me-
cormck was too lame to take any exercise.
His ankle was sprained worse than he
thought on Saturday and he Is hmping
badly. His injury is not serious, but the
knee which gave him SO much trouble last
year was wrenched at the same time and he
will not be able to do much hard work be-
fore Saturday. Laurie Bliss was also hurt
on Saturday and the old knee which kept
him off the field for over month was given
another twist. He cannot practice for sew
eral DAYS. There is little doubt that both
men will be in condition Saturday but they
need this practice on plays and signals.
There are TO more cripples nthe list ex-
cept Sanford who is still on crutches, but
he will have to get on the field soon or Nc
Crea will have his place.
The Freshman Infant played star game
on Saturday and if Sanford is not well
enough to run fast McCrea will be the bet
ter guard, as this is the only point in which
Sanford excells him. McCrea blocks bet
ter, breaks through and stops wedges far
more effectively and is the better tackler.
Greenway will stay on the end. He showed
on Saturday that he is as good man as
Yale can find for the place and Norton will
probably stay on the side lines.

MR.. PETROfr'S CAREER.
The Remarkable Sta,istician Who Has I'm
posed Upon Uncia Sam.

SAN Francisco. Nov. l6.-If the state
department had made inquiries in San
Francisco they would not have trusted Ivan
Petroff to prepare Behring Sea statistics
for them. Petroff is renegade Russian,
of whose early history no one can speak
with certainty. He first appeared here
fully 30 years ago, and took a situation as
compositor on the Evening Bulletin. He
then read and spoke a half dozen Ian
guages, and was wont to amuse his fellow
printers with romantic tales of his adven-
lures in Europe. He had also spent several
years in Siberia and Alaska, and he used to
predict great future for Stewards pur-
chase.
One day he was arrested as United
States deserter, but through the aid of SEN
ator Sargent he secured his release. After
this he began to write for the San Fran
cisco newspapers, and during the Russo
Turkish war he contributed much valuable
material, as he knew well the scene of the
conflict. 1t was while doing this work that
one day he turned in column article on
the war 1t was made leader. as it was
remarkably well written, The next day an
evening newspaper came out with the
Deadly Parallel" showing that Petroff
had stolen his editorial bodily from the
London Times. Tina. settled his usefulness
as a newspaper contributor in this city.
Hubert II. Bancroft, the historian, how
ever, employed Petroff to gather material
for his histories of the Pacific states, and
the Russian aayenturer wrote much of Ban
croft's history of Alaska which is very well
done. Twelve years ago Petroff was APP
pointed TO take the first census of Alaska,
and did the work so we'll that he was en-
gagged again by Porter two years ago. Sew
eral men who came from Alaska declared
that Petrotf bad not made an honest census
of Alaska, but bad simply averaged the in
crease and added it 10 his previous figures.
Mr.. Wolfe, a newspaper correspondent, de-
clared more than two years ago that his CEN
sus would be found worthless if an expert
attempted to verify any part Of it. Who
ever recommended Petroff for the census
and Behriug sea work committed grave
blunder. for the man has proven dishonest
and irresponsible in every place where he
has lived
