The New Street.

The New Street.
The work Of grading Irving avenue
from Eighteenth street, east. Is pro-
crossing rapidly the grade having
been practically completed as far east
AZ Thirtieth street, there being only
few more gulches TO I'll. When this
street Is completed and paved, 1t will
certainly be very desirable location
for a residence district, for the view
from any portion Of It's entire length
will be unsurpassed. The grade cx-
tends along the side Of the ridge and
the ground ON the north side Of the
street will generally be lower than
the street thus affording a good view
to dwelling that may be built on
either side, and we predict that there
will be great many dwellings built
on this new street in the very near
iuturc.

Repairs.

NepaiIo
Work was begun yesterday on the
repairing and rebuilding Of the boiler
house and engine room of the North
Pacific Brewery which were recently
so badly damaged by fire. A force OF
mechanics are now busy in overhaul
ing the engines and other machinery
and tearing out the burned portions
OF the building which remain stand
ing. This fire proved that the use
OF asbestos coverings on boiler is a
benefit in more ways than one, for
there Is no doubt that the boilers at
the brewery were saved by the ashes
tor covering. The heat was success
fully withstood and the only thing
that affected the Innings on the boil
ers was the immense amount OF water
thrown on the fire. It will require
about one week to get the new smoke
stocks in place and the rebuilding Of
the houses and repairing Of the en-.
CINE, etc, will probably consume
about four or fve weeks after which
the brewery will be in full operation
again.

Anything the school children and

had ben used and at the expiration
OF II minutes the gavel would be
sounded and the speaker must stop
even IL in the middle of a sentence OF

ing that this much discussed question
was to be settled for good within the

And VIII Appeal to State Railroad
Commissioners.

Brattieboro, June 10--The shippers
Of lumber and bark from points on the
West River branch Of the Central Yer
mont railroad have become exasperated
over the failure OF their efforts to se-
cure lower freight rate on shipments
from these points, and have decided to
appeal to the state board Of railroad
commissioners.
A petition Is now being prepared by
II. Nv. Gibson Of this town asking the
commissioners to compel the railroad
company TO reduce its freight rates
that shippers be given the benefit Of
through billing from the points OF ship
ment to destination and that the road
bed on the West River road be put in
q safe condition. Under the present arr
rangement everything in carload lots
is rebilled at Brattleboro to the CON
meeting roads, thereby compelling tho
shippers to pay the local rates Oh the
West River road in addition to the
through rates, SO that the shippers, ac-
cording to their claim, are unable to
compete with shippers on other roads.
The Central Vermont company charg
cs a local rate of 5 cents hundred
from Jamaica TO Brattleboro, d dis.
tanee Of 20 miles, and q local rate of
cents from Brattleboro TO Millers Falls
a distance Of III miles, and the Boston
& Maine road charges cents from
Millers Falls to Boston, distance Of
0s miles, making rate of IA cents for
the 144 miles or $40 per carload Of 30,-
roo pounds. The rate from Newport
to Boston, 23s miles, over the Boston
= Maine road, II sac per carload Of 30,-
900 pounds, and the rate from Mart
chester to Boston, 1877 miles, over the
Rutland road, ia $50
A question viii arise as TO the au-
thority Of the commissioners to regn-
late rates outside the limits of The
state, but the shippers say that if it
III decided that the commissioners do
not have such authority, an appeal will
be made to the interstate commerce
commission to take up the matter.
