In speech the other night General
Coils, the head of the department Of
public works OF New York said some
interesting things about good pave
ments. He s8id that three years ago
that asphalt psvements in this country
cost on an average 81 yard. Now the
sHme work can be done for 50 80, aud
better work at that. In 1895 only seven
miles of asphalt was laid in New York
City. Ghis year there has been laid and
contracted for 26 miles. Next year it is
thought that there will be at lesst 80
miles moro OF asphalt in the metropolis

The Republican, speaking of the un-
Fortunate accident which cost Arthur
l. White his life, says that the exact
particulars Of his death are ss follows:
Mr.. White and his wife and another gen.
ileman were visiting the mine under
ground. They vera on the way to the
surface in an empty car when a runaway
car was heard rapidly descending the
incline upon them. The gentleman who
was with Mr. White caught Mrs. White
in his arms and jumped from the car to
the side OF the track. Both escaped un-
hurt. Mr.. White remained With the
car and few seconds after, the runaway
car collided with the car in which Mr..
White was riding. He wes caught be-
tween the cars and both his sides crush
ed. Death must have been instauta-
neous. The cause OF the accident 10
hard to properly place. Some miners
we're loading couple OF cars on the 400
foot level of the incline. 1t is thought
that the wheel blocks must have slipped
and the cars started downward 90 the |
run to destruction.
