He Is the Lowest Bidder For the Brick
Pavements.

He Is the Lowest Bidder For the Brick
Pavements.
The lowest bid made for the work Of
laying pavements in Wooster and Ash
nun streets opened Wednesday by the
board of public works was that of j..
e. Miles. agent for the Mack Wire
brick, which it was proposed to use on
these streets.
Yesterday Mr.. Miles made PROPOSE
ton to the members of the board Of
public works and to the committee on
streets of the court of common council
to the effect that he would take, at his
own expense, two members of the
board of public works, the city engi-
neer and two members of sthe street
committee to various cities where the
Mack Wire brick has been in use six
teen years for the purpose of exam
ming the pavements. Mr.. Miles pro-
poses to take the visitors to cities
where the worst pavements are to be
found and he stated to the board of
public works and to the street commit
tee that In the event of the visitors
not finding the pavements in better
condition than the one in use at the
corner of State and Chapel streets he
would Immediately withdraw his bid.
The pavement at Chapel and State
streets is of Syracuse brick, the kind
ordered by the court of common coun-
Gil for Wooster and Ashmun streets
A member of the board of public
works said last evening that his board
would favorably consider such propo-
sition, it being the best method of OBJ
| tanning correct information concerning
| brick pavements. He would like to
see Chairman Hamilton a member of
the visiting committee, as this would
give Mr.. Hamilton an opportunity to
see how the committees from the board
of public works made Investigations
into these matters. Mr.. Hamilton
would then have an Opportunity to find
out very much that would add to his
stock of knowledge concerning the sub
ject of street paving.
! These pavements which Miles claims
to show have required, he says but
nominal repairs. He win go into writ.
| ten agreement to perform his part Of
| the arrangement and will withdraw hi:
bid upon an adverse report from the
committee.

THE CLEpEIaND CELEBRATION


Connecticnt'a Participation in the Event
What Governor Coffin Says What the
Hartford Guards Propose The New Ha-
ven Company.
Governor Coffin and Major e. Henry
Hyde of the First company, Governors
Foot Guard Of Hartford, have both re-
ceived urgent telegramps from Wilson
M. Day, genral director of the centen-
NAL celebration in Cleveland, O., in re-
gard to the company's attending the
centennial celebration. The Cleveland
Grays at a meeting Tuesday night vot-
ed to offer the Foot Guard the hospital
tiles of their armory while the COM
mand is in that city. Captain Rees of
the Grays has telegraphed the results
of the vote. The people of Cleveland
are extremely anxious to have the Con-
necticut Foot Guard to visit the city in
| connection with Governor Coffin and
the state officers.
| Governor Coffin stated to reporter
| yesterday that in the absence of spec
ial legislative action there is no legal
authority to incur expenses in such
matters, and yet it would seem obliga-
tory on the part of the state authorities
to do such things from time to time as
they may be reasonably called for, as
a matter of courtesy and comfy to-
wards other states. This was emphati-
cally the case last year in the matter
of the representation of Connecticut at
the Atlanta exposition, and there is no
doubt that credit was gained by the
state in connection with that affair
that was worth many times it's cost
In the Cleveland case, the reasons for
creditable representation are even
stronger. So important and desirable
did the Ohio and Cleveland authorities
deem an extensive representation from
Connecticut that the governor of Ohio
the members of his staff, the mayor OF
Cleveland, and a number of leading cit
liens made a journey to Hartford tc
extend a formal invitation to the state
of Connecticut and the city of Hartford
to send a large representation, especial
ly to participate in the exercises of July
%, Founders day.
Governor Coffin further stated thai
he would go to Cleveland with mem
bers of his staff. Owing to the expense
he would not order the Foot Guard tt
go to Cleveland. He believed, however

ENDED IN A ROW.
Dispute Between Lancaster and Hartford
Other Games.

Dispute Between Lancaster and Hartford
Other Games.
Lancaster, Pa, July 17-To-day's
game between Hartford and Lancaster
ended in an exciting dispute in the
ninth inning when Lancaster was at
ball pitched by Vickery. The ball
struck Catcher Smiths glove and
bounded to the grand stand McQuaid
and Westlake scored, but Umpire
Hoagland claimed Buttermore's bat
tipped the ball and he called it a foul.
This raised a row and the players
swarmed around in menacing style.
Hoagland refused to reverse his deci-
sion and walked off the field, followed
by the jeers of the crowd.
Lancaster was willing to continue
the game with players as umpires, but
Manager Barnie of Hartford refused to
play without an official umpire. The
score stood to in favor of Hartford
in the ninth inning and Lancaster
would hive been in the lead if Nc
Quaid's and Westlake's runs had been
allowed. The game from the sixth was
played under protest by Manager Bar
ME, he claiming that Lancaster's two
runs scored in that inning could not
be counted on account of interference
by Seybold, the latter being declared
| out but Hoagland allowed the runners
to score.
The case will be reviewed by the At
| lantic league. AS it ended it was no.
| body's game. Vickery and West were
| the pitchers. West retired in the
eighth inning and Yeager took his
place. Lancaster made seven hits, and

| errors.

this rod, passes through a hole in the
center of the circle and is kept tight by
a weight below. The circle, Furthermore,
has its diameter of twenty
centlmeters accurately etched in divisions
of centimeters and millimeters. The hing
ed rod Is furnished with transverse slid
ing rod near its upper end.
By getting the reflection of some di9
tinct point in the visible surface of a
cloud to fall at the center of the circle,
and then making the reflection of the
hinged rods upper end coincide with this
point in the reflection, the angle made
by its direction with the meridian (azi-
muth) is determined. Its angle of alti-
tude Is then determined by means of a
graduated half-circle applied to the silk
thread which, of course, is in the line
from the center of the circle to the Sc
lected point on the cloud.
From these data, by the general laws
governing the approximate nights of the
various kinds of clouds, the natural posi-
ton of the cloud at the moment of OBJ
servation may be determined. BY means
of the graduated diameter, which may
be adjusted so that the reflection of a

Trom the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The electrical engineer is now to be
found all over the word, and it is aston
fishing to find what good work he often
turns out in unexpected places and under
unfavorable conditions. An instance Of
this is now seen at Buluwayo, which may
he said TO owe it's present safety to the
efficiency Of the electrical devices adopt
ed for its defense against the Matabeles.
Within four days after It was decided to
"go into lager" telephone lines were
run from the main lager TO the various
outposts. namely, observatory, hospital,
and headquarters office, and were in per-
feet working order. The telephone line
from observatory was put in Iive and a
half hours which, considering the want
of necessary implements, wire, and in
struments, speaks well for the resource
fitness of electricians.
Circuits had also to be rapidly laid for
the dynamite mines These mines were
necessary for the protection OF the north
east and east sides Of the lager, which
were considered very weak on account OF
the formation of the ground, and the pro-
lection afforded to the enemy by the
houses. The ten mines were laid from
two to four hundred yards from the cen
ter of the lager, at an angle which, while
calculated to do the greatest damage to
the enemy, would be the least likely to
throw stones or rubbish into the lager
The mines average about $50 long by three
feet wide, and two feet deep. The dyna-
mite was laid IN canvas along the bottoms
of the trenches and the connected wire
with the top of the Market Hill building
where the local electrical engineer is sta
toned at night. aas4

steps for the defense Of the town. he or

now been placed in position in the crows

The bats that infest the dark recess OF

Of this city are not altogether useless. II
is known that they are insectivorous, but
the farmers, fruit-growers and gardeners
In the vicinity have never discovered any

Monday evening with a commission from
the coffee planters of the South Sea ISL

bic. As soon as he made his mission
known a number of boys Immediately be-
gan to search for them, and at this writ
ing he has secured 300 or 3O0 for which
he has paid 2l5 cents each.
Mr. Wumacher Informs US that a little
beetle, which looks something like june
bug, ravages the coffee plants in the South
Sea Islands while the plants are in bloom.
These insects are very destructive, ana
there is nothing so effective in checking
them as bats. Indeed, they may be en-
