STILL IN FAVOR
SHEET ASPHALT
kearny Avenue Property
Owners Petition Alder
men Again on the Matter.
WOULD ADVERTISE AGAIN

A petition asking for a sheet asphalt
pavement on Kearny avenue, between
Lewis and Market streets, was before
the Board of Aldermen last night and
stopped the introduction and passage
on first reading of and ordinance to
pave the throughfare with asphalt
block
The new petition asking the alder
men to re-advertise for bids for a
sheet asphalt pavement, was headed by
s. M. Coutts and signed by about thir-
teen others. 1t was referred to the
committee on streets and sewers after
its reading.
Last month the council advertised
for sheet asphalt bids and as none were
received, a, notice of intention to pass
and adopt an ordinance to pave the
street with asphalt block was publish
ed. The ordinance was to have been
introduced and passed upon its first
reading last night, but the aldermen
deferred action.
1t appears that the majority of prop
erty owners wish a sheet asphalt pave
ment on that street, though they are
not particular SO long as the street is
paved and done so quickly.

New Bedford, Mass, Aug. 17.-Wi
the first signs of dawn the red and
blue armies CONNER ed hostilities in
the war game; the sentlnels and out
posts firing ct each other as soon as
they could see to sight their guns.
The invading army Of red advanced
slightly, capturing about a hundred Of
Boston's defenders. The first real gen
eral action viii probably commence
before night, when the real route OF
General Bliss is uncovered.
General Bliss is so situated that he
still may have chance TO move his
army quickly around Assawontsett
lake, past Watch hill and then swing
his full strength against General Pew's
blue force on the latter's right wing,
or he might even attempt to turn the
right in upon itself.
Sixteen Killed In Skirmish.
As a result of the forward move
ment most of the force of General
Bliss is concentrated around Rock Sta
ton and Middleboro. Just before the
close of the period General Bliss drew
back the Fourteenth New York and
the Tenth cavalry through East Free
town. the scene of the Sunday night
encampment of the main body. and
hurriedly marched them around Lake
side park. where they are encamped.
There was a conflict between a mixed
patrol of cavalrymen from Squadron
A of New York and the Essex troop
from New Jersey and a detachment of
District of Columbia bicycle scouts,
representing the invaders, and a por-
ton of the Eighth Massachusetts in
fantry on outpost duty for the defense.
This resulted in the killing" of ten
cavalrymen and six infantrymen, ac-
cording TO the umpire. 1t was merely
a skirmish. and at its close the two
scouting parties fell back to their sup
porting bodies.
Just to the north of this point six
blue scouts were captured by caval-
ry advance. a mixed patrol made up
of members of several commands.
Without knowing it this mixed patrol
was within very short distance of a
strong force of blue infantry which
was marching toward MiddleborO. 1t
was said by one of the umpires that
had the red cavalrymen been sufficient
ly alert they could have located this
body of blue infantry. could have sent
an orderly back to the main cavalry
body, about a mile in the rear. and a
strong force would have been hurried

OF Co. / of Eastport, which is due to

military duty by members of the Ma
tionai Guard are somewhat more strict
than has previously been the case. and
the law provides heavy penalties for
anyone. who shall injure or threaten to
injure any member Of the National
Guard in respect to his employment
because Of mis- membership in the
Guard, or shall discriminate against
him, or attempt to dissuade him from
enlisting.
