undesirable class of coolies-a class that
we have been fighting Tor years. TO those

study OF these people well know that the
WON IN are nobody's wives, but are so
many slaves that these same alleged mer-
chants would be only too glad 10 claim as
wives If they could only get them into The
country. A Chinese woman VINO is worth
500 in China i w nth $500 when landed
an these shores, and TO give every Chinese
who claims 10 be a merchant the privilege
OF bringing these lewd women 10 this
State would be working very great hard
shin on Caif1rnia
The country would be flooded with these
slaves and the ruin OF our youth cannot be
estimated. As slaves these women are
more slaves than the blacks OF the South
ever were. II one becomes tirei OF her

MULBERRY PAVEMENT.
Columbia Company, Contractors, Begin
Laying Concrete at the Lower
End OF the Street.

Work on laying the concrete for the
Mulberry street asphalt pave was be-
gun yesterday morning. The firstblock
between Mifflin and Franklin avenues,
is being first attended to, and after
four hours and thirty minutes work
the employees were compelled to stop,
owing to a scarcity of crushed stone.
Four hundred and eight yards of con-
crete had been laid.
The Columbia Construction company,
contract holders, had arranged with
Stoneman Kearney, of this city, to
supply the crushed stone. Kealipey
fell behind yesterday. His single stone
crusher at the end of Mulberry street,
could not grind out material enough,
and at o'clock in the afternoon Super
intendent j. II. Gallup, who is in
charge of the work for the company.
laid off the force. During all the
morning delays had played havoc with
the progress.
superintendent Gallup stated yester-
day that after the workmen are bet
ter acquainted with the work and the
sub contractors furnish material in
proper abundance, about 1900 yards
of concrete will be placed each day.
The men are all new hands, and were
taken on yesterday morning. The de-
mand for places was great. Fifty men
were placed at work of the several
hundred that applied. None but citi-
zens of Scranton are employed.
FINISH IN SIX WEEKS.
Yesterday afternoon Kearney began
the erection of new stone crusher at
his works. He will keep the two crush
ers working day and night to meet the
demand. Given good luck, Superin-
tendent Gallup says that the job will
be completed in six weeks.
City Engineer Phillips was on the
scene of operation yesterday. He ex-
pressed himself as being satisfied with
the start made. The work of curbing
the street has reached within
a few feet of Washington avenue.
The modus operandi of the Columbia
Construction company has one de-
parture from the method of paving
used by the Barber and other COM
panies This is the first job that the
Construction company has had in this
city They bring along a mixing ma
chine which is the first of its kind
to be used in this city. The machine
is nuge concern, ana NoIhS SOlile-
what on the order of an up-to-date
threshing machine. The sand and NOR
tar are dumped into an opening on one
side and the crushed stone on the
other. In the middle of the machine
is the mixer, and after tumbling the
mass about for time the prepared
concrete comes out through a chute
at the rear end, and is carted away in
wheelbarrows. Nine men were kept
busy wheeling away the output dur
ing the working hours yesterday.
The work is done much more expe-
ditiously than by the old shovel and
hoe fashion. The machine attracted
| much interest yesterday. Common
Councilman Grier and Selectman Chit
| tenden were among the crowd of sew
| eral hundred on the scene.

at this season of the year, might go

DOG HAD THE Rabies.
After TerrOrizing Many Persons on the
Hill lie Was Shot by Patrol-
man JOhler.

1t was a real live mad dog. 1t is
all very well to be skeptioal about mad
dogs until you see one. Then you are
quite willing to become an advocate of
mu2zles even if you do belong to the
Society for Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals.
Before he was shot yesterday a mad
dog terrOriZed many residents on Clay
avenue and Mulberry street. He wasn't
a very big dog but everybody who saw
him was perfectly willing and even
anxious to climb a fence or telegraph
pole, or almost any other avoidable
refuge rather than make his closer ac-
Guaintance. Colonel Osthaus' little
children had a narrow escape as they
had left the veranda but five minutes
| before he rushed Skipping and barking
about it.
He scared several housemaids nearly
into fits as. with bloodshot eyes and
dripping jaws, he dashed at them in
the back yards where they were hang
ing up clothes. Fortunately they were
able to make a fender of the clothes
basket and thus avoided injury. Pos
sibly he bit many dogs before he ap-
peared at the corner of Adams avenue
| and Spruce street and was shot by a
| policeman.
with every indication of the rabies
ne came upon the street at the corner
mentioned and for a time caused great
excitement Frothing at the mouth,
barking at everything and occasionally
jumping at some one the dog soon be-
came an object of fear. Probably the
only saving feature of his state was his
apparent inability to move rapidly,
thus allowing intended victims to es-
cape.
