Paving.


During the past season Front street
has been covered with macadam a dis.
tance of eleven blocks, or 4,573 feet,
From Elm to Plum streets the surface
is crushed limestone with gravel dress
ing, and from Plum to Liberty streets
granite or crushed boulders and gravel
were used for wearing surface with
limestone base. The street is now in
much better condition than ever be-
fore, but it will require constant at
tention and expense to keep it in good
repair. The cost Of this work has
been assessed to the AUDITING property,
but the cost of maintaining will have
to be met by the city at large, and in
a few years the city will have paid
more than the difference in cost be-
twee macadam and good brick pave
ment.
Main street, from the bridge to
Second street, or, better still, to Broad
street, should be put in as good condi-
ton as Front street next season, as
the location of the new depot on the
river front has largely increased the
traffic on Main street.
Our new steam road roller has been
of immense value in our paving and
it's purchase fully justified.
ABOUT $500 sect of sttne walk,
twelve feet wide, has been laid or
laid TO proper grade on Front street
the past season, and this has i'm
proved the street as much as the work
on the roadway itself.

INJUNCTION ON THE COUNCIL
RENEWED TODAY.
d. q. II. Fletcher Amends His Conn.,
4 plant and a New Order to Show
a Cause Secured, Returnable Feb. Is
a Restraining Order to be
Served on the Aldermen and City
Officials-The Case HuSt Be Fought
Out i'm the Courts.

Judge Severance has issued al new
order to show cause why the city
council should not be permanently re-
strained from disposing of the $1,000
of electric light bonds, bids for which
are to be received Feb. 9th. The or
der was issued on the applica-
tion of L. G. M. Fletcher, through
his attorney, LCrin Cray. Mr..
Fletcher has amended the complaint
in his previous action, and restrain
ing order was issued on this, to tenn
porarily enioin the council from max
ling the sale The order to show cause
is returnable Feb. 18th, at ZOO p. M,
when the arguments will be made on
the application for an injunction un-
Til the case can be tried on it's merits.
The ground for the present action
is the same as for the previous one,
namely that the city is now in debt
beyond its legal limits, and that it has
no ri hit to issue the bonds unless au-
thoriZed by two thirds vote of the
people, which the bond proposition
failed to receive. The order to show
cause will probably be served on the
aldermen, city recorder and mayor
before night. 1t will effectually pre-
vent the awarding of the contract at
the meeting at which the bids will be
opened, next Saturday night. What
step the council will take remains to
be seen Mr.. Cray states that the
amended complaint is much stronger
than the old one.

south of the Opera house, has 500 or
600 swarms of bees at Hammond,
Mimi, that he will move to this 10

suitable location for them. 1t would
seem that suitable place ought to be
easily found and we should Judge
that the country surrounding the city
would be an excellent one for bees.

A NIcARAeuAN HEROINE.

How a Soldiers Daughter Defeated
Capt. Nelson's Forces.
It is we'll known that Lord Nelson,
the hero of Trafalgar, had but one
eye, and it is commonly supposed that
he lost it in the ordinary fortunes OF
war. Such, however, is not the truth, if
the story current in Nicaragua may be
believed. In 1880 England sent out an
expedition to enforce her claims to GER
tain lands adjoining the isthmus. The
point of attack was Fort San Carlos at
San Juan del Norte Two hundred
sailors and marines under the leader
ship of Capt. Nelson were landed. The
cowardly garrison of Spanish soldiers
deserted the commandant, but he re-
fused to leave. His daughter, Donna
RAfaela Mora, a girl of Is, remained by
h side and determined to do all she
could for her father and for her coun-
Try. She took up her position behind
an embrasure, seized gun and when
the party advanced fired directly at
their leader. He fell, his eye pierced by
bullet. His followers were instantly
thrown into confusion, and the garri-
son, seeing its opportunity and inspired
by this young heroine, returned to duty
iHh SucCSCUCu III uII"1HS the LASliSu
forces back to their boats.
Donna Rafaela Mora was decorated
by the king of Spain, commissioned a
colonel in the royal service and pen
stoned for life.
, Nelson's biographers merely state
that he was repulsed at Fort San Car
los, and claim that he lost his eye in
Corsica. The foregoing story has, how
ever, been considered authentic, and by
reason of it Gen. Martinez, the grand
son of Donna Rafaela, was sufficiently
popular to be elected president of the
republic in 1857 by grateful people

Ice-Brenking Ships.

Vice Admiral Makarow, of the Rus
sian navy, has been studying the con-
struction anduseof powerful ice-break-
ing ships. At recent meeting of the
Imperial Geographical society at St
Petersburg, he expressed his belief
that with two such ships, each of 10000
horsepower, acting together, line OF
free water communication could be
kept open'in winter to the port of St
Petersburg, and he added that they
could even force their way through
the glacial ocean if the thickness of the
ice did not exceed IL feet. - Youths
