The street committee will confer

source of a good deal of annoyance,
and the work will no doubt be or
dered.

President Noble, of the board of
works. today. 1--WE put all of them
in good condition last fall. and see
the fruits of the work in the present
good condition of the streets If We
only had a sprinkling ordinance now
whereby all the streets would be
sprinkled we could with ease keep
the streets in good condition and
save money. 1t is a demonstrated
fact, we would save enough money
on repair work in sprinkling the
streets to pay the sprinkllng ex-

All work on the pavement con-
tracts let last year will be started
the first of April, and all work on
the streets to be reconstructed this
year. contracts for which were let
last year, will start the first of the

suspended was announced Saturday, COM
mitted suicide within an hour after post
ing the notice of the failure on the door of
the bank by throwing himself before a
train in tunnel about half mile away
from his place of business.
Mr.. MacFadyen appears to have gone di-
rect from his bank to a station of the City
and South London, to have entered the tun-
mel unobserved and deliberately lain down
in front of an approaching train. The en-
gineer reported having run over an obstruc-
ton in the tunnel ard search revealed a
shockingly mutilated body, which today
was identified as that of Mr.. MacFadyen.
1t is rumored that the failure of P. Mac
Fadyen & Co., the London house of Ar
buthnot & Co.. bankers, of Madras, was
connected with the cotton market, but as
Mr.. MacFadyen was the sole partner in
Europe, it is difficult to obtain information
on the subject.
