New street Pavement Great Success.

SANTA ANA, May 15.-Our new street
pavement had a severe test this morning
by c. II. Menefee, the drayman, hauling
two loads of six tons and more in each
load over the pavement, and no percep-
tibe difference could be detected. He
also drove over the pavement being put
down by the street car company, and
nearly the whole load was on two wheels.
but still it did not phase the pavement in
the least. Six tons on one of these trucks
is more than thirty tons on steam
roller, such as the work was rolled with.
When the big truck got off the pavement
one wheel settled down so he had to un-
load. This test is what a great many
have been looking for and now are salts
fed.
very pleasant social and reception was
given last night by Mr., and Mrs. John
McFadden to Rev. and Mrs. Fitzpatrick of
the United Presbyterian church. A large
number attended and enjoyed the even
ing thoroughly.
II. Fairbanks, the druggist. of Tustin,
