appointed to Invontnato the alfalM of tuo
Hoard of Puollc Worn ? , bo.irdod tbo chairman -
man , 1' . W. Hinthuusor , 1:1 : his don yesterday
morning.
Ttiu mooting w.-w opened by Mr. SpechV ,
cnalruun of thn committee , staling tlio ob-
Joet of Ibe early call. Major Ulrklmuscrsnid
thbl bo bnd nollcod something ubout tbo
visit nnd that tie win prcpjred to extend n
hcnrty welcome , lie could provo to tbosatls-
1 ncllon of liny reasonable bouy of men that bo
bad performed his duties and had takoii
cure of nil of tbo worn ordered by the coun
cil.
"How about tbo unfinlsuod work of IbOll"
asked Mr. Spocht.
"I'm Kind you mentioned that , " ntmvorod
Mr. Hirlthnuber , as bo readied into nls
pocket nnu drew out n tnUuluted btnteinutit
showing tbo old work uiidur contract and
unfinished.
What Cnusvi the Di'l.l.v.
"This , " conlitincd the chairman , "Is what
tins cnusci ) all of the trouble , and vlght hero
1 want to tnako u few explanations. On
Charles street there was no water connec
tions. Tlicro uas no plat Hied showing the
location of tbo proposed water connections.
In fact , tbu council had made no provisions
for anything to show their location. On
North Twentieth street the paving has boon
tied up by an injunction in the United
Stutos court , I understand thouaso has been
settled , that the water pipes will bo
laid and that paving wilt soon bopin.
Lowe uvonuo is tlod up with un injunction.
The alleys In the throa blocks niuntinuod in
the statement bavo been completed.
"Tbo Twenty-fourtu strool contract has
boon cancclea , at the council hits declared
ngalnst cedar blocks. On Sherman avcnuo
the council got a little too fast and ordered
the street , paved before tbo curbing oral-
nanco was passed. In this I tvant to say
that the chairman of the commit
tee on paving , curbing , nnd cutteiing
did not k-cl Ills curbing ordinance
through the council until Juno ! ii ! of the
proscnt yaar. On Uruco streei the grade
was riot established until this spring , though
the chairman on pavmir got an ordli.unco
thronch the council last your ordering the
* paving and curbing.
"Tho delay on Thirteenth street has boon
caused by the same condition of affair. } . On
1'opplcton avcnuo and Nicholas street
tbo contrnctots have boon at work sotnodiys
nnd have tbo two strcou nearly completed.
Klghtcentb street Is tied up by nn Injunc
tion. That settles tbo old paving contracts. "
Then they all mined about nuisance lots.
The chairman explained that tbo red tape
catibcd the delay , and thai the delay was
right in the charter provisions. Early in
the spring the board bad taken steps
to have the lot.s filled. To do
this it was lirst noco ary to declare the
lots nuisances , then notices to property
owners were published. After that tbo
board advertised for bids , the bids wore
sent to the council nnd then to the mayor.
That , bo Mild , required at least sixty to
ninety days to get things In shape to begin
work.
Mr. Spcchl said that Cir.uit , between
Twenty-fouith and Twenty-fifth streets , w.is
n disgrace. There was a death-dealing pool
in that locality and It ought to bo filled
upon tbo order of the board.
Mr Howell said the board could not order
it filled , us it , would no.st $ I,1UO ! , nnd that
the board was not authorised to Itiour an ex
Iicndituro exceeding * 100.
Mr. Kpeclit Insisted that the boird had
nskod for bids on the work.
"Yus , that's true , " answered tbo chair
man. "Wo opened bids on May 7 and the
approved contract got back from the council
on July S. Just two months after wo innilo
the uward. Now , wo propose to wait a low-
days and fill the stroi't with tbu dirt from
North i'wontkth sticot. This will save the
proportv ov/nnrs Just Jl/JOU and vill notdelav
the work ton days. "
'I Ills Vo.ir'H ravine.
Then the conversation drifted to the paving
of Ib'.tt. ' Mr. Kirkhausur maintained that the
counclriiad passed but , three final paving or
dinances and that in all of the districts cre
ated by those ordinances the work was under
way. "In this connection , " bo continued.
" 1 want to show you that ttio council is
not always right , " nd as ho said it ho
druw out n roiiploof paving ordinances. Uoth
were for district -IKi , but ono ordinance de
scribed tbo district as the allev in block 18
aril the other as n portion of Michigan street.
Mr. Ilowull thought that the committee on
paving had SHOWN considerable negligence In
drafting ordinances. Mr. Munro thought
that such errors were fatal. If the contract
was lot under either ordinance , the tax to
pay the cost of tbo paving could not bo col
lected.
Then they all talked about the delay In
laying permanent sidewalks. Upon this
question the chairmen sprain ? u surprise.
After explaining that nil walks condemned
had been ordeiod rolaid. ho broughlout some
ordlmmcoi ordering walks In the outlying
districts of the liio limits. There the ordi
nance provides that the walks may bo of
stone , artificial btono , tllo or brick.
These ordinances provided for nothing but
Btono flagging , the chairman of the committee -
too having erased the names of all other
matt-rials.
Mr. Spccht said that the citv engineer bad
drawn the ordinances. Mr. llowoll insisted
that as tlioy had passed tlirouirti Mr. Spi'cht's
bands , as chairman of the conunlUco , ho
ulono was responsible for the erasure. Il
stone walks were laid under the provisions of
such ordinances tbo tax coulu never bo col
lected nnd the city would bavo to foot the
bill.

There Is uneasiness amontf railroad associ

many of them. In the Western Trafllo

signs of unrest in tbo air and
everywhere railroad ofllclnls prow more
nervous as they rend the signs of
tbo times. General Passenger Agent Huch-
nnan said to n reporter for TUB Men this
morning , In speaking of this subject :
"Never has the railroads como nearer the
mHlfiUIUm as when tbo cooling arrangement
was in force. Then the fullest measure of
confidence obtained , and tbo strong
lines and weak lines thoroughly un
derstood ono another. Conlldenco , after
nil , Is tbo basis of business ; without
it you have stagnation In financial circles ,
demoralization nnd the ilovll Is to pav gener
ally. Whllo associations nro necessary
under the Interstate commerce law , the rest
less feeling abroad among railroads Is not n
good sign , anil one can almost hear the rum-
bio of the nvnlancho which must
eventually sweep awav the commission nnd
establish its Illegality. Ily the pool
arrangements rates were made thoroughly
stable , business was strengthened , and every
body seemed prosperous , but the moment
these rights were taken nwav came demoral
isation In their train , nnd over since values
have been unsettled and depreciated stock has
followed the era of stability. "

The proportv owners on Loavonworth
strcot. from .Sixteenth to Twonty-nlulb ,
nro up In arms ever the attampt , upon tbo
part of Hugh Murphy to pave that street
with fitono Instead of brick.
At tbo letting Murphy secured the con
tract for ropavms. tie bid l.nr per squura
yard on vltrlllod brick , and $1.05 on ted Col
orado sandstone.
Petitions for material were circulated
among tbo property owners and the brick
petition won uy becurlng a majoilty of the
frontugo nnd .r > UO fool to spare.
Now Mr. Murphy is laboring with the
property owners , urging thorn to withdraw
their named from his brick petition and sign
for stono.
Most of tbo property owner * decline to do
anvthtng nf the kind. They claim that not
only will it delay tbo work , but that
It Is n dangerous precedent to establish.
If properly owners can ask for n different
matorlal after oncodgnlng they can da son
doiun tlm-s , and if matorlal men felt so dls-
posuj they could delay the paving of u street
for any length of time.

Mysterious Explosion in a Trench Does
Considerable Damage.
TWO WORKMEN SERIOUSLY BURNED
One of Thrin Will I'rntmbly Die from the
Jtoiilt oT Ills Injiirlow The ( Iriiiuul
Win SoiiUrd with Oil Souio
Theories.
Yesterday afternoon nn explosion occurred
nt the terminus of the Union Stock Yards
company's tracks , Just across tbo strcot from
tbo oflico of the Cud nh v Packing company ,
Martin Andorsou and John P. Johnson , two
laborers , being badly burned about the
body , the forner probably fatally.
'Iho explosion catno noparcntly without
cause , nnd no ono Is able to exululn bow it
occurred , Anderson nnd Johnson were on *
gucod In digging a small trench at the end
of tbo tracks for the puruoso of putting In n
"bumper. " They had excavated to n depth
of nearly three foot when , without a
moment's warning , n mass of flames shot
Into tbo air and enveloped both mon before
they could get out of the lire's way. The
clothes worn by thorn were Instantly in
flames , and were extinguished by workmen
near at hand.
Anderson was burned nbout tbo logs nnd
body nnd arms , ills Injuries will probably
provo fatal. Ills companion , Johnson , fared
better , and bis Injuries nro not so serious ,
nltuougli ho was badly burned nbout the logs
nnd arms. Both mon are unmarried nnd reside -
side ntTwonty-fiflh nnd L strcoi/j. Ander
son was removed to St. Joseph's ' hospital for
treatment.
The place where the accident occurrea Is
very near to whcro the Cudahy company
loads its oil onto tbo cars and the ground
was saturated with that material. A spark
from u workman's pipe sectris to bo the gen-
cm ! explanation ns to what cnusou the ex
plosion , or n shovel striking flinty substance
ttUht bnvo done so. Those near where the
accident occurred state , however , that no
ono was smoking at the time. A two-loch
gas pipe runs throueh the trench which the
workmen dug nnd it was filled with pas.
The explosion buwtod the nine , nnd n leak
from this might hnvo furnished matorlal for
the explosion. A 11 ro alarm was turned in. to
which both companies responded. The
Cudaby fire company extinguished the flames
before much damagb was dono.

The city council tnot last ovenl-sc : nt 5
o'clock ns a board of equalization. No busi

Complaints from property oxvnersnine
pouring In jestorday , nnd when the council
comes to equalizing tbo tax assess-
merits the members will find it no
easy Job. The committee from the 13oard
of Trade recently appointed for
that purpose sent m a complaint showing n
number of lots and tracts of land which bavo
not been assessed. McGavock and O'Kccfo
complain of high asso-ismcnts on tboir audi
tion and ask the council to reduce thorn.
The county commissioners bavo reduced the
assessment on tboir property ? 1 , , > 00 and
raheil that much on tbo property of the syn- .
dicate. The other complaints are of a minor
nature , but enough bavo been filed to take
tbo council some time to muko the proper
equalization.

In the .Mining Coiigron-i ,
Hni.r.NA , Mont. , July H. The second day's
session of tbo national mining congress ef
fected permanent organization by the elec
tion of Francis R. Nowlatids of Nevada ns
president. On tnkins bis seat Mr. Nowlatids
mndo a strong silver speech , urging tlio tutn-
It.g states to put the Interests of silver be
fore party Interests. Ho advocated nn ngroo-
mont between political parties providing that
the electoral votes of mining stales should bo
cast for no powon ns president who would
not ngreo to pormitauy silver act passed by
congress to become n law. Ills vluw wns
that nil three of the national parties In tbo
mining states should inUruct their electors
to act independently In tbo doctoral college
in the Interest , of the silver cutiso ratbor
than in tbo interest ot any candidate. In
this way their entire vote could bo aggre
gated lu the electoral college nnd would
probably bold the balunco of power. It
would menu that , while tbo silver question
should bo settled by International agreement ,
the electors could cast their votes according
to their party predilections , but If not , could
exact as u condition of their vote the support
of any candHato requiring their vote , the
understanding being that the action of con
gress on tbo silver question should slnnd
without executive interference. The people
demanded , ho said , that the popular will , as
expressed by.congross , should uot bo opposed
nnd defeated by the will of one man , oven
though he bo president.
Ho nlso claimed that oven though the elec
tion was thrown Into the house the cau.so of
silver would not necessarily bo lost it tbo
friends of silver were nctivo ana vigilant.
Whllo It was true that the nresont bouse was
democratic nnd would bo likely to cast Its
vote for Cleveland If no precautions wore
tukon , stops should bo taken to prevent tils
election unless ho ngrcod not to use his ex
ecutive powers ns heretofore to defeat free
silver ngnln. Most of the democratic members
bors of thu present house represented south
ern and western constituencies , which were
ovorwhultmngly for free coinage. Tboy
would bo candidates for rcnominatlon and
election ut the coming election , nnd pledges
should bo exacted from them that they would
not , In the event of the election being thrown
into the bouse , vote for any man for tbo
presldoncy unless bo would give assurance
that executive power would uot bo usoa
against the uopulnr will.
