COST OF BRICK PAVING.
The Paving Of Abercorn street 20
Begin This Week.

Public Works Commissioner Wiuink
hopes 10 begin the work Of paving Aber-
corn street between South Broad and Lib
erty streets this week.
The bricks have been upon the ground
for some time. but the work has been de-
layed for the City and Suburban Railway

DO this on account OF the non-arrival OF
The chains" or iron supports. necessary
On raising the rails TO an even hight with
the paving. These were ordered some
time ago and q bill Of lading has been re-
ceived showing that the shipment was
made two weeks ago.
The cost Of the Habersham street pave
ment was about Sl65 per square yard.
There are one or two bills yet to come In
when the exact cost Of the pavement viii
De ascertained, but they are not sufficient
90 materially alter the above estimate.
When % Is considered that this Is the FIRST
paving Of this kind done here the cost is
remarkably low. The city engineers esti-
mate was l.75 per square yard and this
did not include tar of which about $500
worth was used in filling the interstces
between the brick, and making the pave
ment water proof The double track Of
the Savannah and Isle Of Hope railroad
also made the work Of laying the pave
ment more difficult than would have 9TH
erwise been the case and tended TO in
crease the cost. The same obstacle Will
be met on Abercorn street.
The cost of paving Abercorn street will
be considerably lower in all probability
than that on Habersham street. There
will be a saving in the cost Of the brick
alone Of u cents per square yard. and
Commissioner Willink has not decided
whether he will use tar to fiji in the
crevices or only sand
The brick for Abercorn street are fur
nished by the Virginia Brick and Paving
Company Of Lynchburg. II Is a very hard
burned brick and apparently very desira-
Bile, but the brick are not so smooth and
regular in shape as those laid on Haber-
sham street.

ing his pocket.
A white man was knocked down by an
Electric railway car at the market about
10 o'clock last night. He was walking
along by the market and did not see the
car coming through the building in time
to get out of the way. Fortunately he
was knocked one side and was not run
over. Although somewhat bruised he was
not so badly hurt but that he was able TO
walk to the Harnett house where he is
stopping.
George and Carrie Cooper. both colored
were arrested by Policeman Charles Mock
in Shinbone alley last night. The two
were creating a disturbance in a house
in the alley. When spoken to by the no
hceman, Cooper proceeded to curse the
OFFICER out and drew a razor, which he
threatened to use. He went to the bar
racks in the wagon in spite of his razor.
He will find it difficult to explain matters
to Mayor Myers this morning.
The unearthly and prolonged yelling of
a small white boy drew large crowd ia

cry of the Uniform Rank.
The three Savannah divisions Of the
Uniform Rank of the knights of Pythias
go to Brunswick tomorrow to partei-
pate in the Brunswick divisions celebra-
ton of the anniversary of the founding or
the Uniform Rank.
The Brunswick division has prepared
an elaborate program of exercises, ana
for the entertainment of its visitors. In
this respect it is but seeking to vie with
the Savannah divisions in a display of
hospitality and bon homme, for last year
it visited Savannah to commemorate the
anniversary and the Knights were royalty
treated.
A special train will be run by the Plant
system, leaving here early in the morning
to enable the knights TO reach Bruns>
wick in sufficient time to make a trip
TO St. Simons. that has been arranged as
one of the social features of the day. The
party will return on any of the regular
trains leaving Brunswick tomorrow
night.
1t was first thought when the invita-
tion from the Brunswick division was ac-
cepted, that nearly the entire member
ship of the three local divisions of the
Uniform Rank would go, but it now
seems lDdl ElALg nave SlSulllt lnGlE lll~
tention of going.
To-day is the anniversary of the found
ing of the Uniform Rank, but, as Mon
day is an inconvenient day for celebrat-
ing, tomorrow was decided upon as the
day.
The Savannah delegation will be joined
at Waycross by the Waycross division
and to these visiting Sir Knights, the
Brunswick division will tender a banquet
tomorrow night.

TO REPAIR THE rARrHESos.
Plans Proposed for the Preservation
of This Famous Greek Temple

Plans Proposed for the Prescrvatfon
of This Famous Greek Temple
The condition Of the Parthenon. the
possible damage done to it by the
earthquake of 1894, has already been
alluded to. Many experts having ex-
amined the Parthenon, as to the best
method of preserving this marvel OF
Greek art, the subject Is yet under
discussion. Ernest FILLER states that
the earthquake did the Parthenon lit
tie, IL any, harm. The worst accident
to it happened when the Morosini laid
siege to the Acropolis in 1887. FILLER
proposes using particular cement.
and holding together the cracked
stones. He wants mo modern patch
work" FILLER represented a minority
report. The majority report, headed
by Prof. Doerofeld and TheOphilus,
devoted their attention to the archi-
traye and other injured portions of the
Parthen0n. They want to remove the
broken block of the architrave, to use
iron bars to support other parts. and
to introduce new stone, but this new
stone to be made out OF old material.
so that no patching can be visible.
third expert, Prof Julius Durm, has
been called on. He deems the archi-
trave to be hopelessly ruined. and
thinks 1t ought to be entirely restored.
1t Is future consequences he breads
natural distegration brought about by
rains and frost. According to the
Athenaeum, Durm emphasizes be-
tween what SIS urgent and not urgent,
necessary and desirable. what must
be done and what might be done"
About $4,000 would be the sum re-
quired for the pressing wants of the
Parthenon, and $4,000 would cover
all the outlay There was some differ
ence of opinion when the matter of
workmen was entered on, as Durm
wanted Germans or Italians in pref
erence to Greeks. And so the matter
stands. The last expert is NJ Mango
II. Mango is opposed to '.stone cement
ing or any similar process of restora-
ton Ills idea is to rivet in the loose
stones by means of iron or copied
hooks. He describes how difficult
would be the removal of unsound
parts, on account of the old way the
Greeks had of mortising their stones,
and using lead. which fastened the
lower blocks. He breads that careless
repairs or tinkerings might bring down
the whole western cornice. There is
no question as to NJ. Mange's superior
acquaintance with the methods of the
original Greek builders.-New York
