A Bucksport Mans Promotion.

The troubles on Deer Island, Boston har-
Dor, illuminated last week in a change of
officers and in the removal of a member of
the board of commissioners of public institu-
tions. Hon E. l.. Plsbury, a member of the
Boston Board of Health, was appointed to
the vacancy thus created. He is stanch Re
publican but his appointment is warmly
commended by Democrats as well as Repub-
lcans The Boston Herald gives this sketch
of him:
Mr.. PilSbury is not without some eXper-
fence in the new Office having served three
years as a member of the committee on
prisons in the Legislature. He is man of
tact and ability, and is very popular in so
cia circles. He was born in Bucksport,
Me-, April 81, 1880, and came to Boston
when a lad, his parents moving to the
Charlestown district, where he received his
early education, graduating at the high
school
He early engaged in business in Charles
town. and is conspicuous society man, hay
ing held the positions Of grand master of the
Odd Fellows of the state and dictator of the
knights of Honor. He is also prominent in
Masonry.
His personal popularity secured his cleo
ton to the Legislature in 1882 and 1883 from
ward 4, Charestown, and in 1887 and 1889 he
was a member of the Senate, representing
the I'd Suffolk district
Mayor Hart appointed him to the board of
health

John and George Peirce became identri-
tinued until 1880. when the present corpo-
ration was formed. The stone, however
is especially suited to heavy masonry,
bridges. and similar structures. For such
purposes it has been sent as far south as
Mobile and New Orleans Mount Waldo
stone entered largely into the construction
of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Mount Waldo stone also is used on the
st. Louis bridge across the Mississippi
River, and others less known. The stone
has been used in the basement Of the
State war and navy building at Washing
ton, the municipal building at Philadel-
phia. the art museum at Central Park.
Boston. The pedestal OF the Admiral
Farragut monument at Washington is of
this same stone. Work is being done
now for the congressional library building
at the national capital. Large contracts
also have been filled tor sidewalks. flag

New York. and other cities
TIE PAVING INDUSTRY.
An interesting adjunct to the granite in
lustry is the making of paving blocks.
Experience has shown that streets sub
jectet( to heavy traffic wea best when
paved with stone. All stones however
are not suited to this use. some being too
soft and thus wearing away quickly, and
Others too hard and 50 becoming smooth
and slippery under usage. The qualities
desired in a good paving stone are hard
ness and brittleneSS and certain of tie
GRANTEES have been found to answer this
requirement perfectly. Nearly all the
Quarries turn out more or less of these
blocks. the broken and waste stone being
worked up in that way. Some whole
quarres. however, notably in Maine .are
devoted to this one thing. The enterprise
as result has been a very growing one,
the paving blocks manufactured in the
United States in 1889 aggregating nearly
81, 100000. The chief skill required in
the making of the blocks is an ability to
see quickly and to take advantage Of the
direction of cleavage. The tools used are
principally hammers of various kinds for
opening and breaking the stone There
are no uniform standards Of size, the
blocks varying from 3 IA to 1 1-2 in in
width. 6 to ! in. in depth and S to u in.

Company also furnished the blocks fol
the repairing OF Fifth Avenue. from
Eighth to Ninetieth Streets, New York
City, distance of five miles. and ii now
has the contract for the same work ol
Broadway from Bowling Green to Fifty
ninth Street some four miles,
That New England holds the lead in this
industry is due very largely to the energy
and Jealous efforts of three men. Those
are the late Governor Bodw ell of Maine.
Hon. J. G.. Patterson of Hartford, Conn
and Mr.. John Pierce of New York. Gov
ernor Bodwell was among the first to re-
cognze the value of the lodges which
marked so large a part of his state. Re
cognzing their value, he possessed the
business sagacity and the executive abili-
ty necessary to their development There
i'll lies the important part which he per
formed in the establishment OF the indus
try. Mr.. Patterson has done the same
thing for the quar1es of Rhode Island.
Connecticut. and New Hampshire. and
through his labors Westerly granite has
come to be known throughout the coun-
try. But it is not only necessary to de
yelop the quarries. Ii the industry is to

SON Of one OF the original proplietors of
the Mount Waldo quarres he has crown
up with the industry. Thus, familiar
with every feature of it, he has been well
equipped for this work. AS the represen-
tative of the Bodwell, Hallowell, Mount
Waldo, and Stony Creek Red Granite
Companies, and Of the New York and
Maine Granite Paving Block it is
through his efforts that New England
granite has been put into such build
ings as the Havemeyer mansion, the
Brooklyn Federal Building the Union
Trust Building. the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, the Erie County Savings Bank
Building, and the Carnegie Library 1t
is largely through his efforts, also, that
granite has come to be recognized as sec
ond to none as an all-round building
stone.

measure due to the readiness with which
the granite has lent itself to architectural
treatment Rock-face finish is used very
largely in the lower stories of the building.
while above, the stone is nearly all ham
mered, giving it the appearance of unpol-
ished marble. There is considerable point
ed work, too, about the windows and
doors, and this, with the frequent arches,
gives easy division to the wings into which
it is broken. The crown of the building,
however, is its tower. This is all ham
mered work shaped about the base much
like a basket, with graceful curves and
delicate carvings that give it a beautiful
tracery effect The plans for the build
ing were drawn by MI NJ E. Bell, and
the stone was from the Fox Island quarry.
The residence of MI. H. O. Havemeyer,
the wealthy New York sugar refiner on
the corner of Fifth Avenue and sixty-sixth
Street is proof that granite makes one OF
the most satisfactory stones for such plr-
poses. The stone used in that is of the
pink Joncsborough variety.

in length. In general the eastern cities
prefer the larger sized blocks, while the
western and southern cities like the
smaller. New Orleans is an exception to
this last, however, using, on account of the
peculiar nature of the streets, the largest
size. The cutters are usually paid by the
piece for making the blocks, receiving
from twenty to thirty dollars a thousand
for them. The variation is due largely to
whether the workmen furnish their own
tools and quarry their own granite or re
ceive the rough stone from their employ

centres for from forty to seventy and
sometimes ninety dollars thousand
