aEolN TAE PAVING MOVEMENT ANEw.

II ia stated that the contract for paving and
sewerage has at last been signed and the work OF
seweripg is to begin next week. Under wnat ar
rangement or agreement this was done we 90 not
know, nor does the council itself know omcal'y
but it is said the street committee have thai know"
edge.
The charge was made in open council that the
Telegram was opposed to paving ana sewerage
That charge was absolutely groundless. Ihere
has never been movement IN winch the Telegram
opposed these much needed Improvements nor 10
it opposed to them to-day. We do, however ooJecl
to the manner in which it is attempted TO pc zone
and conscientious counsel the city government 70
rectify the mistakes made and place the movement
where there can be no draw backs, stoppage, no
delay by litigation or attempts az ntigatioh DIG
sure you are right and then go aheaa.
rrhe CITY charter does not give the city the
nowey IN pave 1t is claimed, however, that
General state statute on the subject of paving and
the powers of municipalities respecting the same
:; sufficient warrant for the citys action, and that
tire CITY can act Hereunder 1t is our privilege 10
take an exception or two here. In the first place
the pretense of an ordinance recently passed does
not conform to the statute law. In the SECOND
Mace that statute law has never been accepted BY
the city and can only be, as we understand IT,
either by ordinance or by an amendment to the
charter. Able law commentators bear us out IN
the above assertion. If this be true, any contract
they let is illegal and must fall when attacked as
there seems no doubt it VIII be.
Again, the supreme court OF the state holds
that paving by petition virtually precludes inde,
pendent paving by the city. In other words II

not he IA xed for the two thirds OF any other piece
of having or in case they are they must first be re-
imoursed by the city for their assessments for the
pavement along their property. The effect of this
decision is that it binds the city to pave always by
netition if the city once inaugurates that plan,
and if they begin once and wish to change to the
Independent plan the barrier must be first rolled
ont of the way by rembursing those who have
already contributed to paving. Such tate of at

Charles E. Peck Dies Suddenly.

Our citizens were throwninto con-
sternation and sadness Monday even
ing, by the announcement that our
well-known townsman, Charles E.
Peck, had dropped dead at his home
at the Fair Grounds, and many were
the regrets Of host Of friends and ac-
quaintances over his sudden demise.
Mr.. Peck had eaten his supper as
usual Monday evening, but was not in
his usual health. He complained of
severe pain about the heart, two
strokes of paralysis of which he had
previously suffered. After supper he
Went to the ainphitheatre on the
grounds to geta board and upon re-
turning cameacros the quarterstretch
and climbed over the race track fence.
AS he climbed over the gate third
and fatal stroke of paralysis OF the
heart seized him and carried him of.
His wife found him IA few minutes
later, lying stretched out on his back
on the ground, where lie had fallen
dead. A physician was hurriedly sum-
moned. After an examination the
doctor expressed the opinion that Mr.
Peck expired before falling to the
ground The hour of his death, SO far
as can be determined, was about seven
o'clock.
The funeral took place from his late
residence, at $50 O'Clock, Wednesday
afternoon, Adclphi Lodge No. s, /. o.
o. F., of which the deceased was a
member, having the obSequies in
charge, and performing the last sad
rites at the grave. Rev. Mr. Tyree
was the officiating minister. The pail
bearers were warm personal and life
long friends OF the deceased, namely,
John Il. Griffin, James Dunn. A. G.
Seaton, James II. Smith, b. B. Stout
and John r. Steel. Interment was
made in the 10. o, f. cemetery.
MIR. Peck was born in 1894 AMI was
G6 years Of agea the time of bis death.
He was son Of John Peck, deceased.
In 1872 he married Miss Ruth Jones
and the union was blessed with one
child, Frank Peck, member of the
typographical force of this office. Both
wife and son survive him. He was "A

fairs will bring about second Tower OF Babel ana
there will be Confusion of Tongues.
If the council will listen a moment we will at
tempt TO tell them how we think it can be safely
done.
First decide definitely whether you propose
to pave by petition or Independently
Second, make the statute upon street paving
pa rt of the city laws either by an amendment 10
the charter, or by ordnance accepting It, Ihe
ordinance should contain the exact language OF
the statute. To do thatthe present makeshift OF
an ordinance should be cast aside. 1t is entirely
too vague and in our opinion, does not conform
with the statute.
Third, contract for specified work and par
ticular section and not let contract that can be
applied to any part of the city If the contractor
agrees to do the work any where in the city at q
STIMULATED price. that the very best evidence
that he has a bargain. 1t takes but little knoWl'
edge of paving to know that some sections can be
severed and paved considerably cheaper than
others.
Fourth, petitions should not be pushed upon
the peopleof any section by members of the city
council in their official capacity, but all petitions
in large measure, should be voluntary
Fifth, parties refusing to sign petitions, where
a majority have signed, should be given due
notice.
Sixth there should be some definite, regular
and systematic arrangement made for the colec.
ton of assessments for the purpose.
In consideration OF the opposition the petition
plan is sure to meet it IA question as to whether
that method is safe. On the other hand we do not
believe the city is Empowered to pave Independent
", and there is more than a probability that we
will need some further Legislation before gong
very far with street paving.

deceaSe is left in widOwhood. but with
a comfortable home and a competence
for life, and the special promise of
God to bca husband to the widow,
and a father to the fathcrleSs. .

Among other features Of the South
African war the new developments in
the use of the heliograph are worth
noticing The idea OF telegraphing by
means Of flashes Of sunlight first came
into prominence during the Franco
Prussian war. The electric light was
at once suggested to make the system
independent of interference from
clouds, but the difficulty Of getting
electricity in the field has thus far IN
terfered with successful combination
OF the two inventions. In the present
war the British have made some use
OF the electric searchlights from their
ships for purposes Of optical tele-
graphy, but sunlight is still their main
reliance. A writer in the Engineer
ing Magazine for May states that the
ordinary range of the heliograph IS
fifty-fve miles, but when the electric
arc light is used the range can be ex-
tended to 400 miles. The success with
which the heliograph was used In
communicating with the besieged gar
risons Of Ladysmith and Kimberley IS
a good demonstration Of the progress
made with this invention since lsfo.
