The work of laying the bricks on Hyde Park avenue was commenced yesterday between Jackson street and Hip Franklin Knglne house. Owing to the uncvenuess of the curb line at the Jackson street Intersection the brick had to be relald the second time. The work on the street below Jack pon street Is delayed, It Is said, owing to the men quitting work because the contractor has been handicapped in making ills payments. The work should be pushed as rapidly as pos sible, as the delays have, caused con siderable inconvenience both to the traveling public and the contractors. The space In front of the Franklin Knglne bouse will be paved, and when the Job Is completed it is safe to pre dict that a better thoroughfare cannot be found In the city. The work of paving Price street, be tween liromley and Hyde Park ave nues, will soon be commenced, as the contract has been awarded. LOCAL IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY.

A GATHERED IN SOUTH SCRANTON Work on the sewer begun AT LAST. The First Pick Was Sunk Into tho Ground by Contractor Koons, Who Promises to Rush the Work Along as Rapidly as Possible Meeting of the Congregation of St. John's Church It Is Necessary to Raise $30,000 to Round Out tho Now Church Fund. After nn extended series of delays, too numerous to give In detail, work was commenced yesterday on the Sev enteenth main district sewer, which comprises the major portion of the Eleventh, Twelfth nnd Nineteenth wards and a small part of tho Twen tieth ward. The scene of the beginning of work was on Willow street, midway between Cedar and Remington avenues, at tho top of a steep Incline overlooking the Roaring Brook. There was some little ceremony be fitting the occasion when ground was broken for the sewer. Word had been sent around during the morning that at 1 o'clock precisely the first strike of a pick would be made. Nearly all but those on the Inside were somewhat dubious as to the cor rectness of this statement. When tho Important hour had arrived nn Im mense throng lined the bank to wit ness the scene. Promptly at the hour given Contractor Koons. accompanied by a delegation of tho leading men in the sewer niovcinont, nrrlved. Mr. Koons, who lacks but one year of being 70 years of age, pulled off his coat, took a pick and lu a manner like ho did It years ago, sent It deep Into the ground. A mighty cheer went up from the happy throng that echoed and re echoed. Harry Klaumlnzer. of Plttston ave nue, who for years fought unceasingly for tho sower and incidentally It 'can be said had the cellar of his residence flooded for the past twenty years, drove tho pick the second time Into tho ground. Then Mr. Koons set his gang of men nt work excavating. The Tribune Is authorized to state that the pick referred to Is to be mounted with sliver In recognition of the fact thilt with It was made tho grandest nnd most open strike to free thousands of long suffering and patient people from premature deaths and to place South Scranton In her position among the other progressive sections of tho city. Mr. Koons stated to a Tribune re porter yesterday thnt he will push work as rapidly as possible. He esti mates that It will be a year from now before tho contract Is completed. When his order of pipes arrives he will be able to work at three points, viz: At AVIllow street, where he has started, at the Roaring Brook where It empties Into the Lackawanna river and at the river last mentioned, commencing on Elm street, and on to Washington avenue. From Willow street a thlrty-slx-lneh pipe will bo run on a direct line Into the Roaring Brook, a distance of five hundred yards. This branch of the sewer will extend to Stone nvonue. Commencing where the Roaring Brook meets tho Lackawanna river pipes will be run up the brook to Remington avenue, then to Locust, to Cedar ave nue, to Mnple street, to Plttston ave nue, to Front street, to Stone avenue, and along Stone nvenuo to connect with the Willow street section. The several cross streets along the route of the sewer will be connected with the routes above outlined. When the sewer Is completed nbout one-half of South S.cranton will be sewered. The Twentieth' ward, with the exception of one block which the new sewer will cover, will bo left out. The upper portion of the Nineteenth ward will be In a similar condition, likewise much of the Twelfth ward. The Eleventh ward will bo thoroughly taken care of. Joseph and John Schrelber, Hon. John Scheuer, Jacob Gelger, jr., Stephen Spruks, Harry Klaumlnzer were warmly congratulated yesterday over tho success of their great efforts In having the much-needed Improve ment under way. For months they have labored Indefatlgably for. It. CONGREGATION MEETING. A meeting of the parishioners of St. John's congregation wns held at the church basement Sunday night. Rev. E. J. Melley called the meeting for tho purpose of discussing with his flock several matters pertaining to the pro posed new church the ever-Increasing congregation has decided to erect. John Gibbons presided at the session. Father Melley stated the plans he has decided to accept for the new edi fice show that fully $00,000 will be re quired to defray the cost of the build ing. Just one-half of that nmjJMnt Is on hand, nnd he asked for suggestions as to tho most feasible manner of rais ing tho amount needed. It was decided to levy an assessment of $50 on the head of every "family In the parish. The younger men will also be called on to contribute, and tho members of means have signified their Intention of giving a handsome amount. Owing to the condition of tho building trades at present, the matter of when the contract will bo let was not dis cussed. NUBS OF NEWS.

Bicyclists ,who havo ridden much on the asiihalt streets of German cities Fay that tho tendency to "lde slip" Is there much less marked than on sim ilar pavements in this country. Tho explanation of this fact may possibly He In the statement which is made by the American consul at llreslup. that the asphalt streets lu that city nre reg ularly washed, the purpose of the washing being to remove the slime which the nsphalt seems to leave and keep the street from being slippery. Tho washing lias the further effect of preserving and hardening tho asphalt. The care taken of the nsphalt by the city authorities contrasts strongly with the methods usually adopted In the United States. For Instance, the space In front of the consulate 13 divided Into four squares, which ure in charge of one man, After cleaning the street early In the morning he wheels out a barrow load of very line, sharp sand and scat ters it lightly over the streets to pre .ent slipping. On rainy days the pro cess Is repeated several times. Once a week the whole street is sluiced and thoroughly washed with sprinkling carts. These nre followed by ample roller brushes, which sweep the wat er and slime into the gutter, whence It Ib carried away. After this tho man who has charge of tho street comes along with his wheelbarrow and sand sprinkler. In spring or autumn, when the streets ure often sloppy and wet. the washing Is done several tin. s during tlie week. The man In charge of the asph .li pavement Is paid 5 cents an hour, the ordinary street bunds receiving 1 cents. Nobody litters up the street or puts sweepings on the pavement. There Is a box kept for these. Wire baskets are fastened on lampposts, against houses, fences or trees In which the public may throw wuste puper while walking ulong. The citizens aro very proud of their clean anil sweet smell ing streets and the householders have to sweep the center of the street In front of their sldewulks every morning before 6 o'clock. The litter Is piled up und soon the city teams curt It away. X X . ." .X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X s X X X X X X X X X X X X V X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X '4M 3 AMUSEMENTS.

ALGER'S DEFENSE. Concluded from Page 1. "There were exceptions, but thaS could not have been foreseen. In every walk of life men are found who cannot carry out successfully the work they have undertaken. There were threo regiments of cavalry, olllcers of which were appointed by the secretary of war. Colonel Leonard Wood, now a briga dier general and commanding the de partments of Santiago and Puerto Principe, was one of these. Colonel Grlgsby and Colonel Torrey, both good olllcers, were the other two. There were three regiments of engineers, tha colonels of which were all graduate-sot the military academy, and not only the olllcers but the enlisted men wera selected with a view to their special llt.iess and in most Instances upon tho recommendations of the colonels them- selves, and all proved themselves most elllclent. "There were also ten regiments oC Immune Infantry, of whose colonels) eight were graduates of the mllltury, academy who were selected for special fitness to command, and In the short time these regiments were In service developed remarkable proficiency. "Criticism us to the amounts and" methods of expenditures which coul.l Imply the wrong or careless use oC money were also made by the London Times. This charge is false. So fac as the conduct of Hie service was con cerned no person with .any knowlcdgo of the facts can ever charge truthfully and no one can ever show that a dollar was misappropriated, stolen or em bezzled, out of the hundreds of mill ions of dollars that were expended. Tha records are an open book, and I will be glad to have them rigidly examined and ask my successor to open those ac counts to the country whenever prop erly called for.
