REPAIRING ASPHALT
TRINIDAD COMPANY CONTRACTS TO
RELAY MISSISSIPPI STREET.
Asphalt for Capitol Avenue from Ohio
to TyveIfth-Trinfdad's Extension of
Time-Week's Pay Roll.

The controversy between the Western
Paving and Supply Company and Bossert
& Waterman over the Mississippi-street as
phalt pavement has been finally adjusted.
The company laid the asphalt and guaran-
teed it for five years. Afterwards Bossert
e. Waterman We're awarded the contract
for building a sewer in the street and were
compelled to cut through the pavement.
When the time came for the contractors to
restore the street TO it's former condition
the asphalt company insisted upon doing
the work on account OF it's guarantee on
the street. The contractors offered to re-
lieve the company of it's guarantee for that
portion of the street which had been torn
up. The asphalt company did not think
this was sufficient. 1t has now been agreed
that the contractors shall relieve the COM
pany from all liability for repairs on any
part of the street. The contractors have
given bond to do this, and the asphalt
company was released from it's obligation
yesterday. The Trinidad Asphalt and Re-
filming Company will lay the asphalt at
2.N a square yard.
Final action was taken by the board yes
terday on the resolution for grading and
graveling the first alley east of Meridian
street, from Fourteenth to Seventeenth
street, and for the construction OF a main
sewer in Wisconsin, Utah, Arizona, Hill,
Union, Hanway and East streets, from
Pogue'S run to McCarty street.

Hugo Reed, president of the New York

terday asked the Board Of Works for an
extension of time till Nov. 10 In which to
complete the work of asphalting South Me-
ridian street. Mr.. Reed said the company
had misunderstood his order for asphalt
and sent him asphalt not mixed with pc
troleum residum. The plant of the COM
pany here, being a portable one, is not ar
ranged for the mixing process, and the ma
terial sent could not be used. He has been
put to the necessity of returning the ma
terial and will have TO wait until the other
can arrive. Mr.. Reed said last night that
he had made every possible exertion to get
his plant ready for work, and would have
beeh able TO commence laying asphalt on
Monday had it not been for this misunder-
standing. The board took under advise

NATHANIEL P. BANKS.

There was a time when Nathaniel p.
Banks was looked upon as the natural
leader of the Republican party. He was
one of the rising young men OF Massa-
chusetts who was not afraid to help to
organize the party when all who acted
with 1t were regarded in New England as
sectional legislators. The Unexpectedly
large vote which Fremont received in 1856
conferred something like Tespectability
upon the party and gave it the balance Of
power in the Congress elected that year.
Mr.. Banks was the Republican candidate
for Speaker and was elected after long
and bitter contest By the adoption of the
plurality rule. Probably no Speaker ever
took the gavel in his hand with greater
odds against him, but Mr.. Banks won the
respect and confidence of his most bitter
political opponents. At the beginning
of the war Mr. Banks ardOr car
ried him into the field. With him,
as with Colonel Baker, the sacrifice
was made with the best of motives,
but with the poorest of judgment. Banks
had many of the natural qualities of a
military leader. but he had little military
training. He had had some experience in
the State militia. but it had hardly prepared
him to command either a corps in the
Army Of Virginia or TO conduct success
full campaign in a part of the enemy's
country where almost every resident was
carrying inform alton to his adversaries.
The failure of the Red River campaign
led 10 his retirement from the army. His
old Massachusetts district was ready to
send him to Congress whenever he wanted
to go, but after an absence of six years he
fopEd ron in oouimanu. Tic served
in several Congresses ana held the posi-
sion of chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Relations, but never recovered the
hold he had on the party before the war.
General Banks was self-made man. He
began life as a bobbin boy in a cotton
mill. he studied nights. fitted himself to
teach school. eetuTed before New Eng
land lyceums, working his way upward all
the time. His native town, Waltham, was
one of the most aristocratic of the Massa-
chusetts interior cities, but its "bobbin
boy" became in time its idol. General
Banks died poor man. For some years
he had held the Office of United States
Marshal for Massachusetts,

THE BELT RAILROAD.

Mr.. STATIONS communication to the
Board of Harbor Commissioners has failed
of its purpose. He has only succeeded in
calling public attention to the fact that the
Commissioners are permitting the South
ern Pacific Company To do what the law
says shall not be done. That the purpose of
the act creating the 3oard of Harbor
Commissioners and dsfining its duties
was to reserve a strip of land upon which
a belt railroad might be built for the CON-
mon use OF all parties hat might want to
use 1t, no one denies. Mr.. Stratton does
not deny that the Mari et-street Railway
Company has taken exclusive possession
of portion of the belt abroad route, but
contends that it has cone so under the
control of the board. lie conveys the in

which is being laid with .very condition of

board so directs. Butthe public has to

A CURE FOR DIPhTHERIA.

The Board of Health of New York, after
a prolonged and exhaustive examination
of DR.. Koch's cure for diphtheria, has
finally decided to adopt it, being impelled
TO this step by the startling discovery that
the mortality from the disease in that city
has doubled in ten years and that the most
learned physicians confess their inability
TO trace it to any general cause. In 1884
the deaths from diphtheria in New York
were 1890 as against 1870 in 1893, and the
same proportion probably holds good in
San Francisco and other cities. This NOR
tally is not confined to any class in the
population. There are almost as many
fatal cases of diphtheria in rich mems
houses. where the plumbing and sanitary
arrangements are perfect. as 10 the lodg-
ings of the poor, where the plumbing and
sewering are bad and no sanitary precau-
tions are taken.
In diphtheria death is caused by the
poisoning of the blood by chemical SUBJ
stance which is called a toxine and 10 pro-
duced by the diphtheria bacillus in the
throat and absorbed by the system. DR..
Koch found that by inoculating horses,
cows and goats with minute but in-
creasing doses Of the toxine their blood
becomes tolerant" of the poison aud gen.
crates a substance which he calls anti
toxine. This substance, when injected
into the body of diphtheria patient by
simultaneous injections. has the effect OF
neutralizing the toxine poison, and if en-
ployed in the early stages OF the disease
insures a cure. DR.. Briggs of the New
York Board of health states that of 25C
cases treated with anti-toxine all those
who were inoculsted on the first day re-
covered. of those inoculated on the second
day 81 per cent recovered, of those treated
on the third day 81 per cent. on the fourth
Gay Is per cent and on the fifth day 81 pei
ceut. The board accordingly asks the city
to appropriate $4,000 for the esta blish
meut of anti-toxine stables under scientific
management. where the antidote can bt

BUCKLEY AND Pepper.

Mr.. Andrew J. Clunie has thrown con-
si1erable light upon the inner circles of
ne party of which be is a conspicuous
member. It may not have been exactly

hut that is a matter between Mr.. Clunie

hen its source was traced it was found
TOO near the old stamping ground. 1t did
nat seem natural that Pepper should have
become the personifcatiOn of purity in
politics while still in close relation with
lis old satanic partner. At best the dis
ea7eries leave bad taste in the mouth.
Taey raise the question if the city has
asined anything by the overthrow OF
Buckley. The Republican successors OF
lie Buckley regime do not appear to have
been an improvement on Buckley himself
OF the two, Buckley had the more gentle
manly way of rObbing the public. The
statement attributed to Pepper that the
Republican chairman of the Street Com.
hittee "held him up by the throat" and
made him pay $3.50 to retain their street
sweeping contract leaves one to imagine
how Boss Buckley would have managed g
little affair of that kind. There does moi
seem to be any reason why Buckley should
keep in the shade much longer. He will
not hurt the party by taking his place al

ther patients died. He has never de-
parted from his confidence that he would
yet perfect his remedy. As to the anti
toxine. it will be so expensive that no one
can undertake to sell it without prima
facie suspicion that their commodity Is
spurious. 1t takes from four TO SIX
months to salivate the blood of an animal
with inoculated toxine, and the quantity
of anti-toxine which can be safely drawn
from each animal is limited. 1t is not like
vaccine matter. which has been extracted
from cows in almost unlimited quantities
Thus the amount which will be available
for use by honest physicians will be small.
An appropriation has been made Dy the
city of London for a toxine farm, and New
York is too enlightened not to follow the
example. But in smaller and less pro-
gressive cities it must be expected that the
improvement will be resisted on Inc
ground of its expense.
DR.. Edison views the question from the
economical standpoint. He says that II
the anti-t0xine farm had been in full
operation year ago a thousand persons
who have since died of diphtherla would
probably have been alive. The farm
would have cost $50, ZOO; thus the cost OF
| saving each life would have been $50 Is
@ human being worth $50 to the COM
munity in which he lives?
The mortality from diphtheria in this
city has thus far been small, mainly be-
cause of the thoroughness with which the
rule of isolation is enforced. But it Is
quite large enough to make it important to
prevent it if i: can be done. 1t will thus
| be we'll worth the while of the Mayor and
| Supervisors, the Health Department and
the faculty TO watch closely the expert
ments which are going on in New York,
| London and Berlin. AS "a matter of theory
| DR.. Koch's cure seems as reasonable as
Jenner's was. 1t Is not likely to meet
with opposition except from the descend
ants of the class which opposed VAGINA
ton as something Few and therefore some
| thing to be denounced.
