REMONsTRATE AGAINST CEDAR.
A m of North AIabama-Stree
Citizens Don't Want Ii.

Another phase of the Alabama-street paw
ing question was before the Board of Works
yesterday. The following petition was filed
ing against laying cedar blocks north Of
Massachusetts avenue:
1--WE, the undersigned resident property
owners in Alabama street, most respectful
ly and earnestly protest against laying a
cedar block pavement on any part Of said
street. We believe that under the provi-
sions of the charter the Board of Public
Works has the sole right to decide the kind
of Improvement to put on any street, and
should not surrender that right. To grant
the petition for cedar blocks would. under
present circumstances, be construed as a
surrender of that right. We insist that an
Improvement for any street should be of
end of the street is already paved with
asphalt To put any other kind of pave
ment on the south end would mar the beau
ty and detract from the general appear
ance of the street.
I'VE believe that Alabama street is too
important a thoroughfare to have a patch
work pavement. To admit the principle:
another with Macadam and a third with
brick. Cedar block Is not a durable pave
ment; 1t is an unsanitary pavement, and
for these reasons has been discarded by al
most all of the leading cities and has been
generally condemned by engineers. For the
should adhere 10 its original intention in
regard to the paving of the street, or should
delay the Improvement until such time as
its idea can be carried out"

The LeIys' Concert.
Mr. and Mrs. Durward Lely gave a most
delightful recital. last evening, at Ply
mouth Church. The subject of the enter
tainment was Scotland's song and story.
Mr.. Lely, who was the tenor with the
Patti Concert Company, and who made a
most favorable impression when 1t was
here, was the soloist. Mrs. Lely, who is a
beautiful woman, is a pianiste with fine,
sympathetic musical feeling. She played
Scotch airs for the introductory number,
and then accompanied Mr.. Lely in all or
the songs. Mr.. Lely's voice is a tenor or
great purity and range. Added to this he
has the true Scotch accent to make the
theme complete. The songs were each
prefaced with a word or two of explana-
ton. either of the song, the composer, the
time or some story exactly fitted to the sub
feet, sometimes humorous and sometimes
pathetic. The rollfcking, jolly song, The
Laird o. Cockpen," was followed by the
80 Open the Door, which Carlyle said
ing, the saddest environment and local hab-
f~tation." The humorous "Hame Cam Dor
Gudeman at E'en," was enjoyed, and the
sadness OF The Land o the Leaf was
tenderly expressed. MIR. Lely's dramatic
ability brought down the house in "Allister

greeted with applause, and the two IA

The people like his music. The soloist of
the performance was Madame Francesca
Meyer, soprano. Madame Meyer is admir-
ably fitted for the Wagnerian school. She
has a powerful voice, intensely dramatic
method. and is a colorateur singer in its

FARMER YATES DEATH.
Shot Through the Body With a Win.
chester Bullet.


Quitman Ca, Sept. BERRY Yates
one of Brooks county's most prominent
farmers, shot himself through the body
with a Winchester rife yesterday about
noon and died to-day about 1870 o'clock
There was no one in the room with Mr.
Yates at the time of the shooting and it
is not positively known whether it was
suicidal or accidental. The ball entered
the left breast just below the nipple,
ranged little outward, passed through
the body and through the head of the bed
on which Mr.. Yates was sitting.
Mr.. Yates was hard work
ing sober farmer, well TO do
and if his death was suicidal, no cause
for it is known. He is SAID TO owe a little
money-about $500, but was worth many
times this amount. He had been heard
to complain that his cotton crop this year
at present low prices would not pay him
out of debt. None of his debts were press
ing though, and he was regarded as a
man in comfortable circumstances. He
was about 80 years Of age, and one of the
most esteemed citizens of the county.
He carried a policy for 81, 900 in the New
York Life Insurance Company, and one
