 Work on the big dam at the head of Belieview lake is being rapidly pushed to completion, though it is thought that there will not be a chance to put on the coping before the bad weather comes around. It is very fine piece of masonry work and reflects great cred it on the engineer and everybody else who has had anything to do with it. It is 2!5 feet long; B feet above the bed of the river and 21 feet under ground. It is about 30 feet wide at the base and tapers off until it reaches a width of five feet at the top. It is built of rough stone and cement and aside from this it is practically the same in appearance, though consider ably smaller, as the dam at the Wig wam reservoir, which is constructed of quarried stone. The dam belongs to the Glasses and is intended to save water there for their mills on North Main street.

 | The many friends of Donate Meo
 enter q general denial to the story that | he attacked the Irish people in his
 address at City hall during the cam paign just closed. They claim, he was
 misrepresented and that what he did
 say was twisted and turned to suit | the writer's convenience or ideas. | George Francolini. the Italian inter- i preter. was a caller at the Democrat l office to-day and he claimed that Meo had lost a good share of his business l because of the reports printed about
 him and he said it was not right or | just. He was present at that meeting | himself and so were many others of | his friends and they all say that Meo
 did not use the expressions attributed I to him. They claim that what he did | say, perhaps not expressed in the best of English, was that the Italians | should emulate the Irish in politics. 1 MT Francolini is organizing demo- l cratic club and he claims that he has no interest in AIeo further than that 1 he would like to see him righted as to l the remarks made by him.
