TO BEGIN PAVING ABERcORN.
The Iron Chairs for Raising the
Tracks on the Ground.

Tracks on the GROUND.
The iron chairs to be used in raising
the Abercorn street tracks of the City
and Suburban railway, have arrived. The
work of raising the tracks will probably
be completed this week, and the work of
laying the street with vitrifed brick, be-
tween South Broad and Liberty street,
will begin early next week.
Commissioner of Public Works Willink
is anxious to push this work, and not
much time will be lost in laying the
brick.
The appearance of the brick pavement
on Habersham street is generally praised
and there are many people who think that
brick would make just as good a pave
ment for South Broad street as asphalt.
1t is to be regretted that no satisfactory
test can be given the brick pavements,
for the short stretches on Habersham and
Abercorn streets, as travel will be light
until South Broad street is paved, when,
with the short cuts that will be thus af-
forded between South Broad and Liberty
streets there is certain to be considerable
travel.
Bay street, in Jacksonville, has been
paved with brick for several years, and
the pavement is said to give entire salts

INAUGURAL COMMITTEE.
Is Hard at Work and Pushing Prep
arationS Rapidly

Washington, Dec. 20.-The inaugural
committee has fairly got down to work
and preparations for the inauguration
ceremonies of March 4 next are being
rapidly completed. Nearly all of the
numerous committees have been or
ganized and the details of the work are
being Systematically arranged and ap-
Dortioned.
The general committee has decided
that the inaugural ball is TO be held in
the great hall of the pension building.
although manv of the members of the
committee, including Chairman Hanna,
are in favor of having the ball in the
magnificent new library building. 1t
was feared that the library building
one of the handsoHest in the world
might be damaged by so large a
crowd as is expected and the building
not being very well adapted for the
purpose on account of the size of the
rooms and corridors. this plan was
abandoned by an almost unanimous
vote The immense court Of the pen
sion building. with its hundreds of adj
joining rooms, is admirably suited for
such a gathering.
Railroad rates have been fixed at one
fare for the round trip from all points
north as far as Buffalo and as far west
as Peoria, ILL.,, and st. Louis, and sim
liar rates will probably be made from
points further west and south. The
arrangements contemplate the largest
number of visitors that ever came 10
