Good Work ReIayIns Pavement.

The Citizens Gas and Electric company,
in relaying the granite paving on Broad
way, recently torn up in order that the
old mains might be replaced with larger
pipes, has demonstrated that the blocks
can be reset practically as they were be-
fore.
When the conduts of the Independent
Telephone company we're being laid, the
contractor experienced much difficulty in
getting the granite blocks to At back as
they were before they were taken up and
the result was that large number OF the
blocks never went back. The attention Of
Mayor Macrae was called to the matter
at the time and he ordered the work of
relaying the paving stopped until the con-
tractor could find a man competent to
relay the paving In the same condition as
it was before the excavation was made.
The contractor insisted to Mayor Macrae
that II was absolutely impossible to place
| back all Of the blocks taken up, as they
would not ft back in the same positions
| again.
Mayor Macrae, however, stood pat and
much of the pavement had TO be taken
up again and relaid. The same has been
true in instances where the motor COM
pany has taken up the granite pavement
\ to repair or replace its tracks. but the gas
company has demonstrated that with care
all of the granite blocks can be replaced
as before they were taken up. On Broad
way, where the company is now laying its
big mains, not a spare granite block is TO
be seen on any part OF the work where
the pavement has been replaced.

Matters In District Court.

IhOmaS >. farnsWOrtn began suit IN the

damages from the New York Plumbing

to be torn out and replaced.
The suit OF the Kimball Bros. company
against the Citizens Gas and Electric COM
pany is assigned for trial today In the dis
trict court The plaintiffs seek to recover
damages placed at 5000 for the alleged
failure of the electric company TO furnish
sufficient power to run an elevator which
the plaintiffs installed in the warehouse
building of the Groneweg & Schoentgen
company on Broadway and Ninth street.
The defendant company, it is alleged
agreed to furnish power for the elevator
TO lift 5000 pounds, but after the elevator

within our own recollection, more
than one Of Russia's great ones has
laid down his life, the victim to Nj
hilistic hatred, the "Great White Gear"
of autocratic power and strength, or
the Little Father" of implied love,
guidance and protection, both names
and names only, falling before the
cruel dynamite bomb and laying down
his scepter under the cal of death,
even as the lowliest peasant of his
mighty Empire.
Peter the Great, founded the great
city Of st Petersburg, but the best
thing he did for his Empire, was to
open its doors to western civilization,
his ideas and plans living after him to
fulfilment through his people, whom
he had infused with u his magnetic
spirit. Catherine III, while intellect
ual, comprehensive in hec plans, strong
in their execution, and q wonderful
diplomat, adding much to Russia's
territory, was utterly devoid CT con-
science. She was succeeded by her
son, Paul, who advanced the country
to the rank Of first-class power, and
under Alexander l, Russia held the
balance Of dominica in Europe.
Alexander l was followed by his
son, Nicholas l, stern despot, with
an inordinate faith in Russian Prov
ess His over-confidence brought on
the Crimean war, in which Russia was
arrayed against Great Britain, France
Italy and Turkey, and which resulted
in the success of the allied armies.
Alexander II liberated 23,00O,OOO
serfs in 1861, but was assassinated by
the Nihilists twenty years later, the
present Gar, Nicholas III. coming to
the throne November 1. 1894. and who
can predict his successor. Who has the
temerty to suggest that he shall have
a successor to the absolute power, the
autocratic dominion over his millions
of people!

Statues of Bismarck.

Bismarck has come to be about the
most bestatued figure in nineteenth
century hero worship. The monuments
erected in Germany to the man OF
blood and iron" are not less alarming
in number than they are doubtlessly
low in any real art quality. Up to the
present the number unhappily COM
pleted is 204, and there are still 80 to
be inflicted on an already much-Bis-
marcked people. The Kingdom of Sax
ony leads with 81 monuments. Ger
mans dwelling in the wild continents
are also in the race. One Bismarck
statue confronts, In an attitude Of be
coming defiance, the savages Of the
South Seas, in the Bismarck Archi-
pelago. UD
