he was arrested by the Spanish authorities on

fact, together with the intercession of the

potent factors in securing his release. The

A Meteor when In business.
From Lhe spectator.


We owe cur immunity to our atmos-
pherc which serves as a buliet-proof
cu.rass for the world. When a meteor en-
ters the atmosphere, the friction produced
by its gigantic speed makes it flash up like
the arrow Of Acestes, only more So The
Ingenious experiments of Lord Kelvin
have shown that the heat thus produced.
just as a brake showers sparks from a
carriage wheel, or n lucifer match lights
on the box, is sufficient to consume the
meteor as II Ii were suddenly cast into a
furnace heated to three or four million
degrees. Obviously the smaller meteors
are utterly consumed before they have
penetrated far into the atmosphere, which
their fate has shown to rise TO a hight of
about 100 miles.

ASPHALT PAVING COSTLY.
The city TO Pay the Warren-SchErt
Company $1,000.

The City to Pay the Warren-SchErf
Company $4,000.
Asphalt paving is a rather costly lux
ury. as is shown by some figures given a
Morning News reporter ny Public Works
Commissioner Wilink yesterday.
The city has paid or will shortly pay the
Warren--Scharff Asphalt Company over
4-oO for repairs TO the asphalt paving,
the greater part Of which work has been
done during the last three months.
This includes the contract OF the
Warren-Scharf Company for keeping in
repair the asphalt pavement on BrOugh-
ton street from Abercorn TO West Broad
street at 10 cents per square yard per an
mum, amounting TO about 81 100.
The city has paid the Warren-Scharr
company for work done I'm resurfacing
the Congress, Bun, Liberty and BrOuga-
ton street IN January and the latter part
OF December & 36 and about $500 addi-
tional for more recent repairs.
Most of this work was done or under
way when Commissioner Wlllink went
into office. 1t is his Intention TO keep the
cost down for the rest OF the year. and
very likely only a few hundred dollars
more VIII be spent for asphalt paving this
year. The total amount paid the Warren
Schart Company for repairs to asphalt
paving last year was 2.2l9.G. of which
only $40 was paid during the first quarter.
Inc cost OF repairing the asphalt pave
ments Is bound TO increase with each
year said Mr.. Wilink, especially as the
guarantee of the Warren-Scharf Com
pany, on its last contract. has not yet run
out. II we had much more asphalt paving
1t would take all of the annual paving bud
get 10 Keep II in repair. The charge for
resurfacing asphalt Is 81 per square yard.
think this shows that Ii is about time the
city was looking around for some other
paving material. Nitrined brick does not
cost so much in the first place. and tho
cost for repairs is very little as compared
with asphalt. 1t is not quite as smooth
ana noiseless as asphalt and Il is not as
durable as granite block, but IL is not
nearly so Objectionable as granite block
ana the costs both for laying and repair
ing are much less"
The first carload of granite curling for
the Bay street extension has arrived, and
another carload is expected to-day. The
work OF improving this street will prob
ably begin next week

TENNEssEE's DERBY.
The Big Event of the Memphis Meet
ing to Be Run To-day.


Memphis Tenn, April S-The spring
meeting OF the New Memphis Jockey Club
will be inauguarted tomorrow. the Ten
nessee Derby, a guaranteed 5000 event,
being the feature.
The derby is not only the feature of the
inaugural card. but it is regarded by turf
men as the most open race ever run over
the Memphis course. No one will risk
his reputation on positive opinion as TO
the winner, though the Hot Springs sta
bic has perhaps a shade the better of il
in Lady Incz and Ben Eder. Cliff Porter
and Or. Mclean figure extensively in the
calculations, however. To further mix es-
Inmates, there is an impression abroad
that King William who has been doing
his work at Louisville, will be on hand for
the event, though he has not appeared at
the track up to this writing.

VILE LETTERS IN THE MAILS.
\ Sanitary Police Officer and An
other Man Indicted.

Richmond. Va, April s.-The United
States district court this afternoon found
a true bill of indictment against z. K.
Lamkin, the sanitary police officer who
is charged with using the mails for the
purpose of sending letters of an obscene
character to Miss Lena Layne.
There are five counts in the indictment,
each of the five letters being held by the
judge to be violation of the law prohib-
iting the sending of an obscene lewd.
lascivious and indecent" letter through the
United States mail.
A true bill was also found against Ed
ward Gould of Norfolk, who is charged
with sending indecent letters to Gov
O'Ferrall and Mr.. Allen. The letters re-
ceived by Gov. OFerrall We're sent shortly
before Christmas. while Mr.. Allen re-
ceived a communication from the man
about three weeks ago In all, the letters
charges of the gravest nature are made
against some of the most prominent law
yers here. The object seems to have been
to get "hush" money.
