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. bill.Tho The committee will report next Tuesday A Point lor Yon.

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.

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. n the AHHcsimcnt. The city council tnot last ovenl-sc : nt 5 o'clock ns a board of equalization.

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.
