Hoboken, left home without notifying her
husband, yesterday morning at four o'clock,
taking with her her three children, seven,
five and two years OF age respectively.
When Peterson woke up and found his wife
had gone, he notified Police Headquarters,
and the patrolmen were instructed to keep a
watch for the woman.
AT half past one o'clock yesterday noon

THESE O00PERs HAD SENSE.

A strike, which was of short duration, oc-
Cured this morning in the cooperage shops
of c. Heidi & Sons, Of Paramount avenue.
The men refused to go to work at the usual
hour. Instead, they sent a committee to
wait on the firm. This committee stated
that the principal grievance of the men is
that they are only paid ten cents a barrel,
and that they were bound to strike anyway
in sympathy with the Lafayette strikers.
Mr.. Heidi talked to the committee, and
finally persuaded them to speak to the men
and get them to return to work. They
started at twelve o'clock without the FIRMS
making any concessions.

the expense was somewhat diminished.
On Market street the old and dangerous
cobble stones, with some remains OF
wooden block paving, were replaced.
The paving of Cross street has made
passable once more the easiest grade for

FILLING VACANT LOTS
for private parties with the material col
leeted in cleaning the city streets has
been entirely stopped. All of this ma
terial, which during the past season
amounted to 1856 loads, or 1928 cubic
yards, has been deposited either in
Deering's Oaks or at the end of the City
streets on Back Bay. About 1900 cubic
yards of this material have been hauled
to the Oaks and used for filling purposes
near the Green street entrance, at which
point the Park Commissioners are plan
ming important improvements. From
the 18th of April to the 18th of Novem-
bSA ILoLS ~cSOoO iOodS3 VI 1oS ~oo
cubic yards of material has been hand
led by the Street Department teams.
This amount of material would equal a
pile of earth 10 feet deep for the whole
width OF Congress street and extending
from High street to Mellen street. At
no time, previous to this year, has any
effort been made to keep detailed daily
reports of the work performed by the
department., and there were in the Office
at the time when the Commission took
charge no day books to show how the
general accounts were made up, nor were
there any notes of measurements of new
work, except in the case of paved streets.
On.this part of the work the Commission
spent much time, and they believe the
system now in use will be appreciated
in the future. A daily report is made
of the mum Der of men and teams en-
ployed on each piece of work under way;
these reports are entered daily into the
general journal and posted, and the re-
port filed away for future reference.
Each teamster also makes daily report
of the nun Der of loads hauled, stating
where the material is taken from, where
it is deposited, the number of loads and
the kind of material. A third report of
the amount-of street sweeping and scrap
ing is made daily; this last report will
be valuable at the end of the year in ar
irving at the exact COST per mile of street
cleaning.
For some time there has been a desire
to place the city departments on a more
permanent footing in regard to the
