UNDERGROUND
spccla. 70 The Journal.

London, Mar 22.-All recent post
masters-general In Great Britain have
been enthusiastic supporters of under
ground telegraph lines-the telegraph
business here being in the hands of
the government, the post Office de
partment. The settled policy of the
department, in whose hands the
whole telegraph service of the country
IS placed, is to proceed steadily as
funds are available, with the burying
of the main trunk nnes throughout
the country, and in the course of the
next few years 1t is expected that
ali the large towns of England and
Scotland will be thus co1nested.
Telegraphic communication will then
be secure from the widest gales and
from partial Interruptions that are
often annoying and expensive. The
repair account will, of course, be very
largely reduced, and great security
will be given to the service, by elm
mating so many chances of disturb
ance of the wires and commcnica-
ton.

When Tax Collector Roberts closed
his Office last night he estimated that
about 1900 white Democratic voters
were qualified to vote in the city
primaries. This includes those who
are exempt from the payment of poll
taxes on account of the age limit
The number TO qualify surprised
many, considering the fact that for
weeks after the call of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee was is
sued the voters only called in small
numbers to settle the poll tax they
were due the county. During the
past six or seven days, however, the
number to qualify averaged about one
hundred per day. and throughout yes
terday the Office of the tax collector
was crowded with those who desired
to participate in the primary but who
had waited until the last day in which
to pay their poll taxes
The court house was q popular

why the number to qualify increased
so rapidly during the past two days.
The number Is larger than at first
anticipated. OF the 1900 voters 1900

were due, and about 300 are exempt

CART BEFORE HOSE.
New Method of Finishing Streets Is suc-
 cessful and Blessing tO officials.


 Up-to-date watering carts, with wa ter gates placed between the wheels and throwing a stream powerful enough to sweep the thoroughfare, were tried successfully on Church street Saturday night, inaugurating a new method of flushing to take the place of hose.
 Under the process a stream of wa ter as wide as the cart is directed full upon the pavement and carries off all dirt to the gutter, where men with the large brooms used by the street de- partment push if along to piles, where 1t is taken up by teams. The result on Church street Saturday night, be- tween Chapel and Elm, where it was tried, was almost perfect and a few minutes after the carts had gone by the asphalt presented not only clean but dry and smooth surface.
 The work of the carts was watched by large number of persons and all agreed that with the new method the old system of flushing the streets with fire hose was thing of the past The force of the water from the carts was sufficient to clean the street with out flooding it and tquickly ran off , leaving, instead of streets wet for hours, an almost dry and clean thor. oughmre in few minutes The carts | have been tried out about the city fol two weeks, but Saturday night was their first actual entire street. clean. ing test. The result was pleasing tt the officials
