Select Councilman Chittenden's Idea that the city may save two oi tluee cents per squaie yaid by maintaining its own asphalt pavement repali plant has lecelved a set-back. .Mr. Chittenden introduced In councils some-time ago a lesolution directing City Eimineer Phillips to Investigate the inattei and iepoit to councils. To that end Mr. Phillips commuricated with a number of city englneeis and makeis ot asphalt laying maehineiy and also uddtessed a letter ot Inquliy tu the edltoi of Municipal Englneeilng Thelettcl to the magazine edltoi con tained the qutrj : "Can ou name any cities which do their own asphalt pave ment lepalilng and have their own as phalt lepuli plant?" In the cuuent number of the peilodlcal quite an ex haustive answe-t Is gles as follows: Caieful liuiuliy shows that no city of Euiope oi America owns an asphalt pa Ing plant, tho word plant meaning a lai toiy, laigo oi small, for pu-paiing as phalt paving mlxtuies ior sheet asphalt paxements or for asphalt blocks. Thece plants am owned by many companies and contractor St. I.ouls leases somo mpltlng and mix ing kettles, opciated by hand and 's making some i epulis with city employes We aie unable to say whethei these ie palis aie successful or not, nor whether they aio economical or not, because we aie told that tho cost of labor, mater'als and Hiipeilntenilance i not fully tabu lated, nor do definite lenoits oi plans seem to bo kept, showing whether or not tho lepalis aro fiom time to time made over poitlons of stieets previously i palled within a year or two by tho same employes. Ilnnd icpalrs of sticeMs. paved with asphalt should u avoided because machlnoi) Is needed to pioduce a homo genous mlx-tcip. Asphalt mastic sidewalks nie sometimes laid in Euiope with success by city cm. ployes, but tho nilxtuics aie softer an 1 the woik easily done by hand. Similar answers xvrte recolvod from the makeis of asphalt laving mnchln eiy, altliouglt In some cases It was in dicated lliat a lepalr outfit could be made to order. It would cost from $S,000 to $10,000 nnd would lenulro tho employment of two experts asphnlt me chanics nnd other employes so that for labor alone tho cost would he approxi mately $15 per day. Mr, Phillips will probably send a com munication to councils on the subject James Cannon, the stubborn old man who has been in tlie county Jail since June, 1&91, for contempt of court In lef using to sign a deed as ditected by Judge Edwauls, will likely have to stay theie till death u-leases him unless he changes his detei initiation or his attoi neys llfjuie out some way of getting aiound the ditliculty without coiniiio- mlslng couit oi the lieadstiong pils- onei. Recently Attorneys I. II. Euins, Rlch aul Rusted, Jr., and John F. Sciugg at tempted to have a ictiial ot the Gan-non-Rlel case on the gi omnia that the eullct was seem ed by accident, nils take or fiaud and honed to show th.it the Imprisonment of Gannon which was consequent upon the eullet must necessailly fall, also, being lixpnllie cated on accident, mistake oi fiaud. At the last teini it was alleged that neither Gannon nor his attorneys had consented to the lium in which the case was tiled an amicable ejectment or the ti inning of a conditional oi mould ed verdict, such as was found. Theie foie they contended a new tilal should be gianted and Gannon u-leased din ing the pendency of the pioceedlngs. Yesteiday Judge Gunster In a lengthy opinion declaied that theie had been no evidence adduced to sustain the cjiaiges of "fiaud," accident oi mis take;" that een If the judge hud el led In dliectlng a conditional eidlct, the en or could not be collected now. that It is sti autre that council sat ldl by and ne-sleeted to call the utteiitiuii of couit to the alleged enoi. In conclud ing, Judge Gunstei said. "The plalntllf fails entliely to make out a case which would wanant the e.xeiclse ol chancel y poweis ol the couit. What he Is asking us to do amounts Instibstance to a lequest for a ielew of a loime-r tiiul and for a new tilal in a cue which was ended ten yeais ago. As has alieady been said we have no power to giant such a request. The itlle is ellsc-haiged." Seven men weie more or less serious ly burned by mine explosions In tho North End yesterday.

The accident occtured at 4.50 o'clock Thu men, nil of whom weie company hands, weie engaged In changing an air com so 1 building a bildge in the Clalk vein about 25 feet fiom the foot of the shaft. The pieence of the gas at that point can only be explained by the supposition that It came thiough a boie-hole which leads from the place whole the men weie at woik to the China vein below. The Tone of the explosion was felt in the lowei vein when- It blew open seveial irates and staited cats In mo tion, Eematkable to i elate, however, the victims weie not biuised to any extent, thouah they wtup necessailly tlnown lo the iloor or against the sides of the load with consldeiable violence The accident happened Just as the men weie about to quit work for the day.
