 WILL GET JOB
 ON BIC SEWER
Pardy Refuses to Sign Con tract and Next Lowest
 Bidder Is Selected.

When the paving and sewer com mission meets at 7:30 this evening in the city auditors office, it will rescind its action of several days ago award ing the contract for the new inter- cepter sewer to the T. J Pardy Con- struction Co.,, and will award the con- tract instead te Edwad DeVoe Tomp- kins, Inc. T. J. Pardy, for the con- cern which bears his name refused to sign the contract for the sewer and the five days grace given him by the commission expired yesterday.
 MT. Pardy's bid was S223,0SS.73 That of the Tompkins company. next lowest, was $39s,293.S5, if the so call ed long term schedule of construction is allowed. It will be seen that there is nearly $175,000 difference in the bids. There was nearly $400. 900 diff ference between the Pardy bid and that of the Burns Co.,, the highest bidders.
 The great difference in the bids caused much comment among the members of the board and after the bids were opened MT. Pardy asked permission to go owe his figures be- fore the contract was awarded. This permission to go over his figures be- later MT. Pardy appeared before the board and said his figures had been gone over by an outside engineer and he saw no reason to change them, provided certain policy could be carried out in regard to the respon- sibility for slides from the railroad viaduct along which much of the in tercepter sewer will pass.
 The commission after awarding the contract to MT. Pardy's concern agreed to the terms of his policy" A day later he told the members he could not get the s90,000 bond neces- sary to post to secure completion of the work. He told the members of the commission that the agents of the bonding companies to whom he ap- piled, declined to write the business because they believed he had made a mistake in his estimate.
 MT. Pardy had sent a certified | check for $1o,000 with his bid and | the commission is still holding it Whether this large sum shall be de- clared forfeit for his failure to pro- ceed with the contract will be de- cided tonight.

NEST OF COPPERHEADS IN
 LOT AT EAST0N
Local Man Has Two of Rep. tiles Believed to Have
 Routed Rattlers.

Though William Wheeler Naramore, president of the Bridgeport Coach Lace Co.,, living at 2b Brooklaw1 place. is today credited with having recently encountered family of dead- ly copper head snakes in Weston. he nodestly turns over tho honor of fight and capture to Thomas Kelly of that town, though he is the proud possessor of one of the finest sam pies of the venomous reptiles ever taKen alive in this county. It may be seen on display Tn the windows of the c. B. Cutter cigar store In Fairfield avenue. Originally two samples were brought to Bridgeport hut in fight one of the snakes kill GU kellv ,sI 'V was walking In the fields sur rounding Weston a week ago when he suddenly found himself surrounded by a number of what he believed to be the common garden variety of mottled brown milk snakes. Their f1attened heads attracted him, however, and he suddenly discovered that he was in the midst of disturbed band of the most venomous of all American serpents-Aucestrodo Contortrix, @ specie closely allied to the rattle snake but without rattles and which strikes without warning. It is only distinguisha from the common milk snake by the V-shaped and flat tened head.
 Stamping the life out of two of the snakes nearest him he managed to get beyond what seemed to be a cir cle. By the aid of crotched stick, which he procured and bait pail he had with him in contemplation of a fishing trip, he managed to capture two of the snakes alive. He sent them to MT. Naramore in this city to add to his collection of skins. As a result of the display of the snakes in the Cutter windows it has been learned that no hunters, fisher men or farmers in this vicinity have so far this season seen rattlesnakes in their accustomed hahnts, while the cupperhead has been frequently re- ported in places not previously known to have been inhabited by them. This odd occurrence revives the old discus sion about the copperhead always driving the rattler from his territory. Though smaller than the yrattlesnake, which always gives warning when alarmed or attacked, the copperhead fights from ambush, attacking surrep- titiously.
 Local hunters report that quail will be scarce hereabouts this year, having been killed off by late winter weather. while woodcock and partridge have thrived and will be abundant. There has olso been good fishing in local wa ters. William Snyder and Walter Banks of this city each have caught a five pound small mouthed bass at Fountain Lake. This speice of bass has also been good fishing in local wa men are tied for the prize offered bf c. B. Cutter for the best years catch.
 President William Chew of the board has been very ill with cold and 1t was thought 1t might be necessary to postpone the meeting but MT. Chow, who is now able to be out of bed, said today that he would be at the meet ing at 7:30 tonight. The commission will also open bids on sewers in Pequonnock street to Park avenue and in Whittier and Do- yer streets.

 good condition. As an evidence o1 the superiority of the motor truck to the old system of transporting with mules. is cited the fact that the trucks made in IT days trip the mule tTans- port would have made, at the best, if at all. in at least Az days. t
 On their arrival as San Antonio the trucks were put into the service of the quartermaster at once. This is the longest continuous run on record for such a train at the border.
 Beardsiey. son of Assistant Chie1 George F. Beardsley of the Bridge port Fire department, has been driv- ing for the Locomobile Co.,, in New York city, for some time. He left New York, May ts. for the border having contracted with the govern There Is a truck master for each truck of 30 vehicles and three assist ants, who take charge of 10 each.
 Beardslee's first trip was from Co., lumbus to Namiquipa, 300 miles. and she round trip was accomplished in 16 days He says the trucks run with surphising regularity, on regular schedule, notwithstanding the desolate and seemingly impossible country. There are stops out from Columbus, at La Bajada. Ojo Federico. Colonia Dublan. Fl Valle. Las Cruces and Namiquipa.
 Returning from his second trip. Beardslee said the truck train en- countered a force of bandits. about 50 strong, who encamped about two miles from the motor trains camp. The guard was doubled, and there was lit tie sleep, but there was no trouble. They heard later that the bandits were heading for Pershing's camp, to make a conditional surrender, that they might get work building roads.
 On the same trip. at Ei Valle, a New York driver. Ted Bagley, who wan hered outside the picket lines, was slain at night by a sniper. His body was found in an irrigation ditch, the following morning. There were about a dozen shots fired through the night. said Beardslee. and when Bagley was missed his fate was surmised.
 Beardslee is delighted at being back in the north again. T learned more about not only motor trucks. but life in general. in those three months .' said he, than in any other five years. D He will return to the Locomobile Co., s New York plant on Monday, after wis., iting with his family here.
