the project yesterday, but there was not,
The Schuylkill Traction Company has
thus far faithfully carried out its agreement
with the Borough Council and has laid
stringers up to Coal street. but last night it |
stopped the work to await some definite
action in the street paving matter.
It is understood that the company is de-
sirous of knowing just how the tracks are to
be arranged for the paving if it is to go
ahead, and have all that work done at once,
so that there will be nothing irregular about
it.
OF course, the actual paving cannot be done
until the Belgian blocks arrive from Mas
sachusetts, which will require little time
but it will not be necessary to await the ar
rival before commencing the work of cutting
down the street to grade preparatory to pre-
pairing the bed for the blocks It is UNDER
stood that the machinery to be used for the
work is being loaded on cars at Pottsville for
shipment here and that the delay is caused
by the amount of time and labor required to
load it properly.
There are no people more anxious to see
the work started than those owning property
on the Main street square between Centre
and Oak streets. There is movement on
foot to petition Council for paving ordin.
ance, but some people are Withholding their
signatures until they get a good idea from
the work of just how the paving will be laid
and look when it is completed. It is safe to
say that after the work is done there will be
few property owners who will not wish to

Escape Confinement in Prison.
French female prisoners and convicts
are treated with more kindness, on the
whole, than persons of their class in
England, says an exchange. Their
matrons and Weaknesses are Augustine
nuns, whose rule, though firm, is gen
tier, more merciful and more steadfastly
equitable than that of laywomen could
be. The female convicts are allowed
the same privilege as the men in the
matter of ucarning money and buying
things ut the cantccn; those of them
who are young also enjoy privilege
not granted to female convicts in other
countrics-that of having husbands pro-
vidcd for them by the statc-only their
husbands must be convicts. Every six
months a notice is circulated in the fe-
male pcnitcntiarics calling upon all
women who feel minded to go out to
New Caledonia and be married to make
an application to that effect through
the governor. Elderly women arc al
ways prompt in making such applica-
tions, but they are not entertained
The matrimonial candidates must be

The only moral qualification requisite
is to have passed at least
two years in the pcnitentiary. The
selected candidates have to sign

the remainder of their lives. On these
conditions government transports them,
