The company do no fenl that it was i ecu bent on thtm to do this work, bu rather than have any controversy -with the city, and that tbey could have it done in a way Siitiifactory to themselves. Superintendent Ferguson is looking after Ibe work himself. The cost to the company will probably 6e $150.

The city accepted the work from tbe contractors and paid for it. That let tbe contractors out. The street ear company declare the fault is with the city and that the piiDjr contractors folio-wed instructions, Ko gutter or other provision for ranyiog sway surface water was made on the north side of the street. The water was to follow tie natural slope of tbe land and run out on the south Bide ol the street. The brick betweCG the car tracks were higber than the rails.

The water naturally ran dowo bill alongside the rniis, and the jar of tbe heavy cars on the ties loosened the brick. Now the jxivine is being put a trifle below the surface oT the rails. The brick being used were made for the cominny. The ends are not square as is usually tbe case, but aru made to fit snugly into the convex surface of tie rails, Mr, Ferguson says tliflt in the future bis company will do their own paving.

L. Platt is bere from Clinton, dad having some of his patent brick-making machines built at the Union Iron Works, During leisure momenta Mr. Pltt baa drawn plans of a tower for the world's fair, wbich would eclipse the famous tower at Paris. He has designed a wilding in the form of a Roman cress, center surmounted by a tower to be 1300 feet high. Thearrcs of the cross are 2000 feet long.

The whole of this mammoth building would rest on stone foundation twelve feet high. At each of the four eatrauws stone steps, 180 feet Tride, lead up to the promennd-s ninety feet wide, which encircles the buildiog. The building itself would be iOO feet high and the tower in the center would be GOO feet higher. The building Tould have 9,800 toons. It would be built of iron, could be easily taken apart and nut together.

The ptsn of the build- ng shows that each succeeding story is shorter than the one beneath, and from a side riew looks like immense steps. The building would occupy 100 acres of cround, A number of engineers, arehi- wts, have examined the design and declare that it quite practicable, and are urging upon Mr. Platt that he submit to the world's fair committee. There sa possibility that he will do to, and hould it be accepted, will win him not only fame but fortune. modBroncUti't carr? ol One-Tkird of Hnmaa It not gtatiilly known ih.t Pniumorlt Bronchtni carry oft of biuoiti race, but uch ire the f.cu uid ii nori at the ibQTt ihtuitt mult from nettecting com- manardlutTCiild.
