WANT MACADAMIZED ROADS.
Citizens Favor the Proposed One Up to

prise.

The meeting of citizens at the Court
mouse last evening, to consider the ad-
visibility of requesting the Board Of
City Trustees to donate or otherwise
raise $1,000 with which to aid in con-
structing the proposed macadamized
road between the city and Folsom, was
well attended.
Mayor Hubbard called the meeting to
order, and, on motion Of ]. o. Coleman,
was made Chairman w. D. Lawton
was elected Secretary, after which
Chairman Hubbard invited J. O. Cole
man to state propositions which Were
20 come before the meeting.
Mr.. Coleman went carefully over all
steps which had been taken regarding
the construction of the proposed road,
and said the present meeting was the
result of the call made by the Mayor
Tor q. general conference Of citizens
On the question. The committee ap-
pointed by the recent meeting had as
Yet, he said, made no canvass of the
city, deeming it better to await the ac-
ton Of the present meeting.
The committee, however, recon-
mended that the City Trustees be re-
Quested to submit to the voters of the
city the proposition of raising $4,000
for the road by the issuance of bonds
for that amount, and the business men
OF the city would raise the other $4,000
necessary for the completion of the
road, so far as rock and spreading the
same was concerned.
Communications were received from
Peter J. Shields and Frank Miller, who
were unable to be present, urging
progress.
Joseph Steffens said the city was for
tunate in being located so near to the
State rock-crushing plant. He under
stood there would be some opposition
to using the rock, probably through
misconception on the part Of certain
classes of laborers. But the plan itself
would give a new department of labor
to the county and city. 1t would be
an object lesson, and if it proved a
success macadamized roads would in
time become universal and give employ
ment to many men
Mr.. Perkins of Brighton said all the
people in his vicinity were enthuSias-
tic over the road proposition, and he
expected to canvass his section next
week with good results

yet made no canvass, deeming it best

the proposed road was put Through. in
eight years the entire county would
have a system of n1acadamized roads.
If the present proposition could not be
rounded UP and brought to a focus ait
the present time, he had very little faith
in anything being done in the near fu-
ture. The present is the time to act.
Mr. Maude explained that the SlO,OOO
offered by the Supervisors for the con-
struction Of the road was really all that
was available ait the present time.
On motion of Mr. Wilson it was agreed
that the sense of the meeting was that
the city can afford to pay 5000. The
merchants can afford to pay $4,000
more. The issue Of bonds can be made
for less than 100000 OF this S65,OOO
could be for sewers, $4,000 for wharves,
5000 for clear water tests, and $4,000
for this good road.
On motion of Mr.. Coleman the Secre-
tary was instructed to send a communi-
cation to the Board of City Trustees
asking them to donate $4,000 or to place
the matter before the people at the in
tended bond issue election, to be voted
upon.
No further business coming before it,
the meeting adjourned.

SLIDING down THE GRADE
Billy McCants Caught in the Act Of
Robbery.
he and Al. Moseley Arrested While
Plundering a Church Cor
ner Stone.

Billy McCants and AL Moseley, the
former brickmason and the latter a
harneSSmaker are behind the jail-barS
for having dug out Of the basement wall
Of the Ebenezer German Church on
Tenth street, near P, the tin box placed
under the cornerstone of the church
when the latter was being built.
The church was erected in 1882, and
McCants was one of the men employed
in laying brick on the foundation He
seems to have recalled the fact, and evil
IDENTIFY imagined he could make a good
haul by securing possession of the box.
To accomplish this he selected Nose
ley as his aid, and about 2 O'Clock yes
terday morning they began the task Of
getting it out. This they did, but it
was disastrous nights work for them
1t was near o'clock when George P.
Stack, who is visiting family residing
on Tenth street, between o and P, was
reused by noise as if a chisel was
being used on masonry. He soon To-
Gated the sound as coming from the vi
cinity of the church which stands on
the corner Of the alley.
Stack investigated and found that two
men were industriously cutting a hole
under the cornerstone Of the church. He
at once made known the situation of
affairs to his friends and then started to
hunt up an officer.
In the meantime officer Pennish and
Special Officer Almas had been apprised
of what was going on, and they hurried
to the scene in time to catch the men,
who had just then taken out the tin box
which they imagined contained beer
money.
The officers crept upon the pair before
the latter suspected anything, and when
they were ordered to surrender Moseley
showed fight He grasped a piece Of
lead pipe and would perhaps have
Drained Pennish had not Almas been
quick enough to seize the weapon before
it could be used.
When the patrol wagon arrived the
church despoilers had been secured, and
they, together with their intended plum
der, were taken to the city prison The
box was found to contain only some
papers.
McCants has given the police and the
Police Court great deal of trouble for
years past, but his offenses have gen
orally been confined to disturbing the
meanOrS. But now that he has become
burglar his career is likely to be q
short one.
He comes Of good parents, has a lucra-
tive trade, but likes liquor better than
he does work. He has wife and child
rem who sadly need his support
Officers Pennish and Almas are en-
titled to full credit for making the ar
rests. They lay In the alley In the
rear of the church for some time until
the men had about accomplished their
job, and then pounced upon them so
suddenly and effectively that they had
no chance to escape
The officers when seen late last night
stated that they were in the alley at the
time Mr.. Stack left the house where he
was stopping to go in search Of an off,
Ger, and saw him go by, but it was too
soon to make the descent on the men,
and of course they could not make their
presence known to Stack They heard
the noise before the latter was awak-
enes and discovered what was going on.

Maine gives plurality of $4,000, or
more, for the Republican ticket.
The completeness of the victory is
seen in the fact that the Republicans
carry every county in the state, elect
every state senator, all but less than
dozen of the lower house, secure every
county office, send to Washington
solid congressional delegation by the
largest majority ever cast, and
overthrow the fusion forces by total
majority which is 100 per cent above

vote. This is the answer which we ex-
pect to hear from every commonwealth
in this United States, except half a
dozen in the South and possibly four
or five in the mining region, to the
monstrous and revolutionary doctrine
adopted at Chicago. 1t is not section

and repudiated by the sound money
Democrats, who have developed i'm
