Thompson asked for information as to tiie reason for giving the Park company the con tract when others had made lower bids on the same brick. Chairman F'allis arose and stated that the committee had visiti'd Dunkirk, N. and other platies where the Park company had laid paving and were satisfied that the company did good work and thouglit it better to run no risks by letting the contract to persons unknown to the committee. Mr. Hover thought that the contract could be let to any man who gave good security for his work.

motion of Mr. Hover ihe was Mr. of the street committee had seen the work done by the Park ing company and thought it excellent. Mr. Phillips also aske I for information.

He asked which grade of Park brick the i'ontractors who did not specify which grade they were bidding upon intended to use in case they were awarded the contract. is something about these bids which 1 understaml, but certainly do not said Mr. Phillips. Park himself, in his bid rateii the tpiis brick lower than his own second grade, where the tests made by the city engineer showed the brick to be better than the brick made by the Park company. A resolution was passed those present who wished to right to do so.

John B. Brown arose and expressed himself as in favor of giving the contract to the lowest resjxjnsible bidder. Mr Brown stated that he was custodian of property on street, and felt it his duty to state his views on the matter. of the contractors know, and the citizens of New Castle said Mr. Brown, the majority of the bidders are not receiving fair treatment.

Mr. Thompson insisted upon knowing the between the and grade of Park brick, and General Mana ger Bowden, of that company explained at length Mr. Park, who was present, was also questioned. There seemed to be floating about council chambers an uneasy sus picion that something was wrong. Mr.

Hover thought that it was under stood when not otherwise stated that tirade was meant in bidding upon Park brick, otherwise the bids were not accvirding to specifications. Mr. Hover thought that the lowest bid, if backed up by a cash forfeit, should be accepted A little sharp talk occured between Manager Bowden of the Park company and a representative of another wmpany, and upon the Park company man getting a titroke of verbal lightning from his oppo nent the other contracttirs heartily ap plaudeti. Cliairman Fallis sharply re huked this action and threatened to cut oti farther hearings if it was Mr. Phillii)S that no one man all the ability to lay paving, and stated that he would not vote award the contract to the Park company unless he convincetl that the lower bulilers could not the work sat isfactorily.

Mr. Thompson said he could not go before the of Jeti'erson street after voting to award the contract to the Park company unless he understood why they were recommended over lower bidders. Tiie question the adoption of the i-ommitiees repoit was then put, and was lost by the foUoiwing vote: VVaddington, Sboles, Pyle, Matthews, Fallis. Dean, Thompson, Marshall, Smith, Dunn. Mr.

Hover then moved that the contract awarded to Ayers. It having been state that Mr. Ayers had said that he did not care whether he got the paving but would try to fultiU the contract if it was awarded to him. Mr. Hover etateil in support of his motion that if Mr.

Ixioking down he saw entangled in the front wheel of his machine an enormous snake which at every revolution of the wheel attempted to fasten its fangs into hie leg. Mr Glover realized his danger and smarted the wheel after the first momen tary check, and soon was going at a clip which would put Zimmerman to the blush. The head of the snake, whirling with the wheel, seemed itself a solid circle, and still occasionally struck Mr. Glover giving him a detddedly unpleasant sensation each time it did so. After several minutes of the fastest riding ever done by a Lawrence county rider a hill was reached and Mr.

Glover, the wheel, the snake coasted down it at lightening Vague apprehensions as to how the mad ride was to end llitted through the mind, when it was unexpectedly ended in a decidedly promi)t manner. A swerve to one side and the wheel struck a bank. The rider was thrown, and after arising looked for the snake. What he saw were jelly like sec tions of snake jammed into the spokes of the wheel, and various smaller sections clinging to other parts of the machine. The snake was dead.

Had Mr. Glover attempted to dismount upon discovering the snake he would have been bitten beyond a doubt, anti a gait which would keep the snake from striking liirn was the only solution of the difiiculty. Mr experience is one of the most novel on record. ON A SPECIAL TRAIN. I'onfraetors a liide to New Castle.

City Commissioners Dickey and Heasley, City Flngineer Lillie and Contractors Davis, Tom Connell and Con were in New Castle Saturday The commissioners were there on private business and the contractors to attend the opening of bids for city work that failed to take place. In the afternoon the Youngstown par ty with New Castle officials and many other visiting contractors accepted an iri- vitation from Captain owner of a brickyard and limestone quarries, to visit places. The captain took the unsuspecting party into his office and ordered out his train of ten to take the party to the (juarries four miles east of the city. When the train was ready the good captain called out and the party soon as they caught for seats. The cars were limestone dumps and the crowd had a merry time siiiling up hill and down dale in the open cars and behind a locomotive that would occasionally fill the air with smoke and thousands of little hot cinders that made more than one man jump.

But altogether the party had a good time and enjoyed the ride given them by Captain Mivhcnlor, PRINCETON FIRE. The House of Wesley Seohler Destroyotl Tuesilay Morjjing.
