PROGRESS OF PAVING.
First and Second Avenues to Be Com
pleted March 4.

Excellent progress Is being made In the
paving of First and Second avenues, and
City Engineer Thomson said yesterday.
whIis ne was making an inspection OF the
work, that there was every reason 10 be-
iieve that the paving of both avenues with
brick would be completed by the first day
OF March. This brick pavement Is from
Yesler way TO Madison on First avenue,
and from the same point TO Pike street on
Second avenue. and with the intersection
al the top OF Pike street will measure
mile OF good brick paved street Of which
Seattle may be proud
But the benefit OF this good pavement
viii not be appreciated until number Of
the streets connecting these avenues are
also paved or replanked. For instance,
Cherry between those two avenues is to-
day in a dangerous condition. It is a pudS
die. and the heavy wagons and great trafiic
generally carry thu mire on to the nice
brick pavement in First avenue so that
two gangs OF sweepers can not keep IL
clean. Yesler way also needs repair. but
it neither has as much heavy traffic nor Is
Ia such bad condition as Cherry street
Mr.. Thomson was asked a question that
has been put TO many, a. 10 why the First
avenue cable company should be permitted
TO pave between its tracks with blocks OF
soft wood. while its franchise calls for
rock. or asphalt. he replied:
road WAS before the council some months
ago the company presented evidence that
the road WOULD probably be converted into
an electric road shortly. and would have
to be entirely reconstructed. Therefore.
1t was believed TO be only just that IL they
paved with brick between the tracks and
one foot on each side OF them, they should
be allowed TO put down cheap temporary
pavement OF wood between the rails and
the slot"
Mr.. Thomson was further questioned as
to what was intended In regard 10 the
Third avenue pavement, which Just now
is In a woeful condition. II a fire engine
went rushing over Ii some night the engine
would probably be begged. That is
question cannot answer" said Mr.. Thorn
son. Our streets can be improved either
at the instance OF the property owners by
petition, or by a practically unanimous
vote OF the council ordering the repaving.
THE Third avenue pavement" he went
on. has been down since $780, and II was
put down at public expense in order to ac-
commodate an abnormal amount Of team
ing. This was IN consequence Of the re-
construction OF the city after the fire. and
as the teauing for reconstruction purposes
was abnormal and not representative OF
the real business of the street II was
charge on the whole municipality. The
present state laws. however. viii make
such Improvement this time a charge upon
abutting property owners. Ii Is evident
the street must be improved during the
coming season, but what kind OF pavement
will be put down I cannot say. The city
council would be glad 10 receive from the
property owners some int!nation OF their
preference.

BUTCHER, BAKER AND ALL
Ready to Testify Regarding Mrs. Castles
Sad Penchant
Evidently the Lady Has Stolen Every
thing Not Too Hot or Too Heavy
to Be Handled.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22.-Mrs.
Kate Dwyer, prominently identified
with the retail fur trade in this city,
leaves for London tonight. Her mission
has but one object, and that is to take
advantage of the opportunity which will
be afforded her in London on November
I'd to testify to the unmistakable Pc
culiarities Of the unfortunate Mrs. Cas-
tie, accused of shoplifting.
Preceding Mrs. Dwyer there were sent
forward in the early part of this week
some seventy-five dispositions, each one
Of which contained sworn statement,
of people in varying walks Of life who
have testified to the singular character
istics of Mrs. Castle. Included amorg
these depositions are street car con-
ductors, dry goods merchants Of every
class, vegetable dealers in the section
of the city where Mrs. Castle resided,
butchers, confectioners, chinawara
store proprietors-in fact statements
from people covering nearly the entire
field in which merchandise and other
goods are bought and sold.
Efforts and expense have not been
spared in hunting up people who could
testify that the extent to which Mrs.
Castle carried on her unfortunate prac-
tees showed that either she defied de-
lection or else was mentally deranged
to such an extent that she failed to re-
alize the publicity Of her illegal acts.

WATSON'S LETTER.
Will See the Light if Fusion Fails in
Georgia.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Chairman Geo.
F. Washburn of the western branch of
the Populist committee. left for Nash
vile this evening where, tomorrow, he
expects to meet Thomas E. Watson and
National Committeeman Reed of Geor-
gia. Mr. Washburn held lengthy con-
ference late this afternoon with Chair
man Jones of the Democratic commit
tee in final attempt to settle the dis
pute over fusion in Georgia.
What the result of this conference is
Mr. Washburn absolutely refused to
divulge 1t is positively known, how
ever, that it was unsatisfactory to the
Populist chairman. Interesting, not I'd
say sensational, developments are look
ed for at tomorrow's meeting of ~,
Populist leaders at Nashville, and 1t iH.s
probable that as a result Mr.. Watson's
now famous letter of acceptance may
soon find it's way into print.
