PAYNE AVE. PAVING
FINAL ORDERS ARE READY TO
SEND TO BOARD OF
ALDERMEN
SANDSTONE AND ASPHALT
Grades VIII Have the Stone and
Rest acknowledgements for
Arcade street Is
Talked Of.

Final orders for the paving of Payne
avenue will be sent by the board Of
public works to the board of alderman
at it's next meeting. The material to be
used will be sandstone and asphalt, and
it will be distributed as the grade Of
the street demands.
Seven blocks of the territory to be paved
have decidedly heavy grade, and this
will be covered with sandstone blocks.
This takes in section from beaumont
street to the Omaha bryce, and also one
from Cook street to Jessamine street.
The remainder will pc paved with as
phalt. If the orders are approved by
both branches of the council contracts
for the work can be placed in less: than
a month.
Relative to the spreading of the cast,
the members of the board of public
works say nothing has been determined
upon, nor will be until the council has
decided whether it wants the street
paved or not. The board has been served
with a notice protesting against a spread,
hut what weight it will have is not yet
known.
Another East END Improvement now
pending in the council is the macadam-
iZing of Arcade street, from Seventh to
Maryland. The board decided that the
thoroughfare could be made passable by
macadamizing only the center thirty feet,
but a wall of protest has gone up and
will likely prevail to the extent of kill
ing the Improvement. The street is re-
ally the city end OF county road, and
this fact is being agitated to the end Of
interesting the good roads committee to
use it's influence. The Improvement would
cost SIS, 00a. A few thousand dollars more
it is claimed, will suffice to pave the
street With brick.

there is enough ccal piled on the docks
at the read of the lakes to last the Twin
Cities about three weeks, and some Of
the coal companies have enough to fill
their contracts for the winter.
If the present snap continues and the
coal continues to be fed into the furnaces
in large quantities, the marketable coal
on the cocks will not last long. large
part of it is already contracted for, and
after it is gone, all rail coal will have to
be depended upon.
This state of affairs will not affect the
burner of hard coal, as there is all
kinds of it in the city, but it will seri-
ously affect blocks, fats and other insti-
tutions where steam heat is used. The
fact that the Twin Cities will have to
depend upon all rail shipments does not
fill the coal dealers with any great de-
gree of joy. The cause of the coal fam
inc in Chicago and other places is en-
tirely due to their dependence on this
method of transportation.
In the East there is a great shortage of
cars. In fact that has been the condi-
ton of affairs for some months past. 1t
is utterly impossible to get cars TO haul
the coal, and the present shortage on
the docks at the head of the lakes is as
crihed to this fact. While lake naviga-
ton was open there were not cars to haul
the coal from the mines to ->uffalo and
other shipping points.
The manager of one of the largest coal
concerns in the city yesterday said to
a Globe representative:
.sUnless the present congested condition
of cars in the East is relieved the coal
situation in the Twin Cities will be some
thing serious. 1t all depends whether
the cars to haul the coal can be obtained
or not, and for my part / can not see
that the situation is relaxing IN the
slightest degree.
There is about three weeks coal
stacked I'D on the docks at the head of
the lakes, and most of that is already
contracted for. / know that is the case
with oiIr supply The price of steam coal
has gone up about 65 cents during the
prised if the price advanced a dollar
within short time.
in all my experience in St. Paul /
never saw "a more serious outlook than
at the present time. We are in the same
condition that Chicago was a short time
ago, and now Chicago has run completely
out of coal. The present cold spell has
caused the supply to dwiDdle rapidly. and
if it continues there soon will be a short
age of coal for all except these who con-
tracted for it early in the season.
There is plenty of hard coal in the
city, and there is no danger of the supply
running short, so that the average house
holder has nothing to fear from a coal
famine. 1t is soft coal that is going to
bother and If / had 100000 tons of it on
the docks at The lakes / could make
100000 without ever touching IT.

COST WOULD NOT BE HEAVY

AS a solution of the controversy ariS-
Inc, from the attempted obstruction o.
the passage way: parahelinS the river
from the Wabasha street bridge to the
baths, City Engineer Clausser recon-
mends the construction Of pile bridge
that viii connect both.

make, and besides would provide an IN
broken passageway bttween the two II
would do away with the necessity OF

would involve a grade of not more than
per CENT The grade OF the Wabasha
street bridge is in excess OF per cent.

viGed by the conversion of part Of
the flooring into a movable sidewalk.
This could he covered with an awning

II necessary a small fare for its use
could be charged.
DR.. Ohage is considerably worked up
over the latest encrGachment on what be

council permits the use OF the fnf fnr

patrons of the bath to go by way of

The park board has been Interested
in the controversy and viii PROBABLY take
steps to forever stop e1fcroachment BY
cendemning the land, which the city pro-
poses to lease to c. E. Ward, fer park
purposes. The greater portion Of it be-
longs to the city. but there are several
lots that would have to be purchased.
Another proposition is to condemn the
strip for street purposes and turn it over
to the park board to be sbouleyarded and
set out in trees and foliage.
The West Side Improvement assoeia-
ticn has also interested itself, and is ar
ranging to- go before the council at its
next meeting and ask that the ground he
leased to Ward. They do not think that
the public baths should be permitted TO
interfere with the prosperity of the West
side

SMALL FOREST OF PILES

Sticks, the foreman calls them, but it
is veritable forest of stately giants,

that a score Of worknen and two steam
driven pile drivers are sending deep into
the earth at Dale and Minnehaha streets,
the locality selected by the Great Norra-

AT the lowest calculation it has been
figured that 5000 trees will be neces-
sary, while this number may be increased
should any portion of the ground he
found soft. Two pile drivers now aid IN
making the locality a respectable forest
of timber. but four will be used before
the first of the new year.

fifty poles, such as ale used fer piling,

HARD VARIETY PLENTIFUL

The problem of furnishing soft coal for
the Twin Cities is becoming very
serious proposition This is the unan-
inGus opinion of the coal dealers of st.
Paul, who say that all those who were
not wise enough to contract for their
winters supply early in the season are
likely &c. suffer considerable inconven-
fence before long.
This condition of affairs is by no means
peculiar to st. Paul, as the large cities
of the East are suffering already Yes
terday morning there was only enough
coal in Chicago to heat that city for
thirty hours, and st. Louis was as bad off
as the windy burg.
The coal situation has not yet reach

to bring it about At the present time

Our New rlinister.

NO play OF recent years has had so
much OF genuine interest to the public as
Denman Thompson and Geo. W. Rver's
new dramatic masterpiece, "Our New
Minister" which is in its second wear of
success. and which comes to the Howe
Opera House on Tuesday, Oct. 1, for the
first time here. Its interest is broad in
its scope, and the touches of pathos, bits
OF comedy, Yankee humor and Yankee
dialect, make it an entertainment well
worth seeing by everybody, old and
young. The keynote of its success is in
the fact that it pictures real people, real
life, and real state OF affairs to be found
in any rural New England community
at the present day. The new play is in
three acts and tells the story of life in
"Hardscrabble, where the struggle for
existence is hard and where narrow.
minded prejudice dominates largely the
lives OF the villagers. Naturally the min.
lister of such a place is a man of great
