mentS.

During the next few months more
street improvements will be in pro-
gress than at any time during the
previous history of the city.
Ordinances have been passed by the
City Council providing for grano-
lithic, macadam, or asphalt roadways
on eight squares-four on Washington
street, two on south Fairfax and two
on south Alfred street. Besides ordin-
ances are in the hands of the commit
tee on streets providing for i'm
provements of squares on Col
umbus street. Arrangements are now
being made with the electric railway
company by which one square of Wit
rifed brick and one square Of tar ma
cadam are to be constructed on south
Royal street.
The work of replacing brick side
walks with granolithic brick is going
on all the time, and during the past
few years this modem has almost TAX
en- the place of the old fashioned side
walks on many squares.
Sewer work has also progressed con
siderably. Apart from the trunk sew
ers many lateral connections are be-
ing made constantly.
The sidewalks on the southeast cor
ner of Cameron and Pitt street long
in a process of obliteration, is to be
improved with granolithic in order
comport with the new stables to be
erected at that point by Mr.. James
Duncan.
City Engineer Dunn is destined 10
be a busy officer for some time to
come in supervising all the work map
ed out. In order to prosecute the new
work considerable material in the
shape of sand, gravel, and cinde's'
etc, will necessarily be handled, aid
in order to meet such requirements
a sidetrack has been constructed into
the railway property at the northeast
corner of Cameron and Fayette
streets for the use of the street de'
partment of the city.

Proposed Joint Assembly Next
Tuesday Night to Consider
Railway ranchise

AS has been stated, a meeting of
the Common Council will be held on
Tuesday night next for the purpose
of acting upon the ordinance re-
ceived from the Board of Alderman

the square on Royal street, between

proving the square between Duke and
Wolfe by constructing a tar maca-
dam roadway.
1t is the object of the lower board
to participate with the Board of AL
dermen in joint session for the pur-
pose of further considering the ordi-
nance and the terms upon which it is
proposed to grant the franchise. At
the meeting of the Common Council
last Tuesday night the electric rail
way company, through Mr.. Gardner
L. Boothe, one of the directors, signi-
fled their willingness to provide a
freight depot in the city, and thus
grant the request of number of
property owners on south Royal
street for the moving Of the pres
ent freight station.
It was said today that majority
of the Aldermen were opposed to par
ticipating in the joint session, as the
upper board has already considered
the measure and acted upon it.

All OF them remained in The build
ing
Since the strike trouble started It has
been necessary TO quarter the men of
the bookbinding department in the
building, as number of them had
been attacked by the strikers.
Last night, as usual, the dinner for
the men was sent i'm from a nearby
and potatoes. cake and coffee. Soon
after the men finished eating they be-
gan TO drop TO the floor, writhing in
pain. They were all seized with violent
alta cks Of nausea and vomiting.
One of the men opened window and
called Patrolman Doyle, of the Charles
street station. As soon as he learned
the trouble he sent in call TO ST. Vim
cents Hospital DIR. O'Reilly respond
ed. He Immediately began to use a
stomach pump. and when he saw what
big Job faced him he asked for as
sistance.
Another ambulance from ST. VIM
cents and one from the New York Hos
pital were called. The pump was used
on each of the victims and they were
all soon able TO move around.
Two of the men were taken 10 ST.
Vincent's so that the doctors could
study their cases. Neither was suffer-
ing much i'll effects, but the physicians
wanted TO make an analysis OF the
food they ate. Samples of the tooo
will be sent to the Board Of Health for
further analysis.
The trouble in the bindery started
because some members OF the local
union refused to affiliate with the In
tsrnational Bookbinders' Union. The
international union has been supplying
the men for the bindery work since the
trouble started.
Two walters who had been carrying
food from the restaurant to the bind
ery were sought by the police last
night. 1t was hoped to learn II they
had been intercepted In the street by
nersons who might have had an In
terest in poisoning the workmen.

After the much dreaded Speaker had
popped To Fletcher in the last half OF

Lewis raped hot one to Merkle. and

Sizing up the occasion as a propi-
tious one Larry Gardner produced his

proper coaching II would have been a
triple. but Lewis was momentarily held
