STILL SLOW WORK.
But a Chance Of Improvement
in Paving.
BRICK AGAIN BEING DELIVERED

property Holders Generally Indignant at
the Delay In Furnishing Material, but
the Outlook is Now Much Eetter-A De-

the industry that is in our midst.
Della, Suffered
1t is, nevertheless, an undisguised
fact that paving operations have been
seriously delayed this year on &C
count OF the failure of the National
Clay company to respond to the city s
needs until within few days, and
the public has been Inconvenience

Seventeenth. 1t is believed now
though, that with the material deliv-
cred in the past two days, and the
prospects before them, the contrac-
tors will be able to round up Twenty
third and get on to Seventeenth in a
few days time. When the latter
street is completed. Nineteenth and
Sixth avenue are to be attended to,
and unless the Clay company keeps
more abreast with the contractors
than it has been doing, it will be very
late in the season when the latter
work is reached. to say nothing of

Decided Improvement.
In laying out the ground work for
the paving of Seventeenth between
Sixth and Seventh avenues the mayor
and street and alley committee have
made a decided Improvement in
taking the pavement clear over the
point of confluence of Sixteenth and
Seventeenth, thus filling up the
space back of the Central en- zine house
on old fiat iron square to Seventh
avenue. With the Jack fountain in
the middle of this and the park-like
view in the rear of the engine house
this will form very neat ornament
to this part of town, to be completed
only by the extension next year OF

Fourth down to the line where it will

STEELE MACKAYE DEAD.
He Passed Away ON the Train That was
Bearing Him to California

Bearing Him to California.
LA JrNTA, Col, Feb. 26.-Steele
Mackaye, author and dramatist, died
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning near
Timpas, on board a Santa Fe train,
while en- route to San Diego. CAL,
where 1t was hoped he would be able
to build up his health.
Mr.. Mackaye, accompanied by his
wife, DIR. Parker and a nurse, left Chi
cago Thursday in the private car of
George r. Peck, of the Sante Fe road.
He had been very ill for several days
previous to his departure. After leav-
ing Chicago Mr.. Mackaye's condition
was thought to be slightly improved,
and his death, while not wholly unex-
pected. came suddenly. DIR. Parker
made every effort to revive his sinking
patient, but without avail The car
was detached from the west-bound
train and brought to this city and at
$50 p. IN. left on the east-bound pas
senger train for Chicago.
Ill-luck followed Mr. Maclxaye from
the beginning of his last journey. In
the first place his baggage, containing
medicines, etc, was forgotten. and
when a few miles out some fiend threw
an iron bar six inches long through
the state room, barely grazing the
sick mans face in its fight Then the
heating pipes got out of order and the
cold became intense. But despite
these unfortunate happenings, Mr..
Mackay's condition seemed to i'm
prove, and it was thought that his
entrance into milder china would
repair his shattered system.
