REPAIRS ON
KING STREET

superintendent Of Public Works Hol-
loway has been receiving a number Of
complaints about the condition Of King
street. where the tracks of the Ba-
waiian Tramways Company have been
taken up and has a gang of men at
work putting the street in better con-
dition. Ever since the tracks were
torn up the part of the street which
they occupied has been rough and
rocky and bicycle riders and those
who drive over the road have made
many kicks.
The work of making the improve
ments is being done at the expense of
the Rapid Transit Company The com
pany acquired the right of the tram
company and with the rights it also
acquired an obligation to place the
street in as good condition after tear
ing up the tracks as it was before. The
public works department has made an
arrangement by which it does the re-
pairing, the railway company to foot
the bills. BE-

among the guests were the bishop of

wit, and a millionaire manufacturer, a
stout man with a loud. corse laugh who
ate and drank a good deal and who
cracked every little while a stupid joke
He did not know the bishop, but seeing
his clerical garb he decided he must
be parsOn and that here was a chance
for him to poke a little fun at the par

began, in a loud tone, nudgng his
neighbor and winking toward the
bishop-"three fine lads. They are in
trade. l ALWAYS said that If ever 1
had a stupid son I'd make a parson of

discordant laugh, and the bishop of
Durham said to him, with quiet
smile: Your father thought differently
from you, eh?"

COTTON LAND FLOODED
CREvASSE SIX MILES BELOW LAKE
PROVIDENCE, LA.
Levee Was Eighteen Feet High and
the Break Is About 500 Feet Wide
Conditions Elsewhere.

NEW ORLEANS, April 3.-The most seri-
Gus development of the flood situation to-
day was the break In the levee at Holly
brook plantation, owned by James
G. Pittman. The crevasse is about
six miles below Lake Providence, in
East Carroll parish. The levee prob
ably was eighteen feet in height
and no attempt will be made to mend 1t.
Efforts, however, will be made to hold the
ends. Much valuable cotton land will be
overfiowed, but the damage will be princi-
pally in delay in getting seed into the
ground. The crevasse is reported TO be
500 feet wide. Parts of Tensas, Madison,
Concordia, Catahoula and Richland par
ishes in addition to East Carroll will be
submerged, the water ultimately returning
to the Mississippi through the Red river.
Dispatches from the vicinity of the break
say with favorable existing river condi-
tions the water will not long run through
the crevasse and the damage will be con-
siderably less than that done by the Wyly-
Bass crevasse in the same vicinity in 1893.
The work of strengthening the crib work
at Hymelia continued throughout the day.
No signs of weakness in the structure have
yet appeared. 1t is anticipated that sack
ing will begin tomorrow and that the
break will be mended early next week.
The river here to-day fiuctuated between
202 and 20.3, slight rise over yesterday.

EIGHT RIOT VICTIMS DEAD.
Details of the Clash Between a Mob
and Policemen in Mexico.

MONTEREY, Mex, April 3.-Yesterday's
riots, which, according to latest reports,
resulted in the death of eight persons. two
policemen and six civilians. and the injury
of twenty others, and which was due 10
political capital being made out of the
celebration of General Diaz's victory, has
not resulted in any further disturbances.
The cause of the riot is directly attributed
to the cry of Death to Reyes!' which
was raised by young man, said to be
student No sooner had the cry been raised
than a policeman who stood near drew his
revolver and instantly killed the man, thus
precipitating the trouble. The dead are:
Camille Vilaneuva, policeman; Apolinio
Partisa, policeman; Jose, Rocha, civilian;
Ernesto Galvan, civilian, Guadaloupe Es-
queda, civilian; Ancelmo Reina, a young
who held clerkship in one of the
offices of Governor Reyes. The names of
the other two who were killed cannot be
learned.
The authorities have, by prompt action.
brought about quiet throughout the city,
and no further trouble is expected to grow
out of the affair. A full confidence is ex-
pressed in the ability of General Reyes TO
master the situation.

NEW CASTLE, Ind, April 3-In response
to telegram from a number OF local citi-
Zens, George +. McCulloch. of the Union
Traction Company, came to New Castle
tonight and conferred with the City Coun-
Gil and citizens regarding the building OF
an interurban line between New Castle and
Anderson via Sulphur Springs. Honey
Creek and Middletown. The Daleville- Mid
dletown line. which was to have been built
by the Union Traction Company, has been
practically abandoned, owing TO right OF
way difficulties at Middletown. The New
Castle, Cadiz, Markleville, PendIeton &
Western line, which was under considera-
ton, has been dropped on account OF the
opposition to the tax voted in Harrison
township.
The line from New Castle to Anderson
has been considered during the past few
days at the request of c. s. Hernly and
other prominent citizens Mr. McCulloch
stated tonight that he intends to have cars
running from New Castle TO Anderson by
Jan. 1, 1904 If the franchise is promptly
granted.
The people are enthusiastic over the SUBJ
ject, and the franchise will be granted at
tic icSuidf OOuuCil ilSctlnS next lueSudl
night. The intention is to pay back the
promoters of the Pendleton line all OF the
money expended by them in promoting the
road, and to form a company of another
name than the Union Traction Company.
to build the road. which cannot be built
under the latter name because that COM
pany cannot further mortgage its prop
erty. The road would. however. be wholly
under the same management, and will ba
operated from the Anderson power house.
Mr.. McCulloch says the company viii
later build on to Richmond and thence TO
Cincinnati. This line, connecting with the
Indianapolis & Eastern line here. will make
complete circuit TO Indianapolis both
ways. will connect Pendleton with New
Castle, will form an ultimate outlet TO
Richmond and Cincinnati, and will divide
Middletown's trade with New Castle and

Judge Carter Holds that Works Board
Had Rejected Sprinkling Bids
Before Suit Was Filed.
RECORD OF THE BOARD STANDS
FLOYD A. WOODS TELLS OF PROPO-
SITION MADE BY NEWLY.
II the Council Investigates the
by a Special Committee.

Judge Carter yesterday decided the suit
of w. II. Newby against the Board of Pub
lie Works for an injunction in favor of the
board. He held that the record of the
board showing the rejection of all sprink-
ling bids received Feb. q, before the in
junction suit was brought, prevented New
by from securing an injunction. The trial
Of the case was solely to determine the
question of costs.
In his testimony in the case yesterday
Commissioner Logsdon said he had been
told by Floyd Woods that Newly had Of
fered him CWoods) 500 month to procure
the contract for 1902, and later that he had
increased the offer to $500 a month. He
testified that when Newby's bid for the
1903 contract was pending before the board
Mr.. Woods told these things to the witness,
and added that he did not deem Newly a
fit person to receive the contract.
Mr.. Martindale, in cross-examining Mr..
Logsdon, asked him If he had ever, as is
charged in affidavits from contractors pro-
cured by the Citizens League. agreed with
the Kenningtons to accept 10 per cent. of
the gross price of the sprinkling payments
in consideration of granting the contract
to Remington Bros.
'I did not" was Mr.. Logsdon's prompt
and emphatic reply.
Mr.. Woods said that Mr.. Newly had not
spoken to him about the 1903 contract, but
had. as detailed by Mr.. Logsdon. offered
him 500 a month. Mr.. Woods understood
the offer to be to him as an attorney,
though he had not acted at any time as
Mr.. Newby's attorney. He said Mr.. Newly
had not suggested any improper use Of the
money.
MR.. FURNAS'S TESTIMONY.
John Furnas testified that Frank Shower
came to him to buy a mule on March s.
the day the bids were rejected. He said
Shower told him Remington would get the
contract and that Remington would want
to buy some mules. Mr.. Shower on the
stand said he had tried to purchase a mule
of Mr.. Furnas. but had not said Kenning-
ION would get the contract. He said he had
not talked to Remington about any mules
and that Remington had told him he did
not know Whetner ne would get the con-
tract or not.
The plaintiff attempted yesterday to show
that the record of the special meeting of
the board held at o'clock on March 5.
was a Misrepresentation. This was by
testimony showing that when Mr. Martin
dale, attorney for the plaintiff, called at
the boards office at i:3O O'Clock and asked
If action had been taken he was Informed
by Commissioner Mcguire that no action
had been taken. Mr.. Mcguire and Com
missioners Logsdon and Megrew testified
that the special meeting was called at
o'clock and was in progress when Mr.. Mar
tindale called and that soon after all the
bids were rejected. In his decision Judge
Carter held that the boards record was
sustained.
The costs in the case are estimated at
500 and will fall on Newby.

EXPLOSION IN A MINE.
Unfounded Rumor that the Lives of
Fifty Men Were Endangered.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, April 3.-An explo-
sion of gas occurred this afternoon in No.
5 mine of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal
Company. AS soon as the report was sent
out the greatest excitement prevailed. from
the fact that this mine is exceedingly
gaseous There were rumors that fifty
men were entombed by the caves and
wreckage that had occurred, and in less
than a half hour an immense crowd gath
erred The only damage done was the
blowing down of several doors and mine
brattice on the inside workings of various
cha mbers and gangways. There were, how
ever. one hundred men working in that
norton of the mine, and for time il was
feared they were lost. The rescuing par
ties, however, found them all within half
hour and none was burned or in any way
injured.
