A Comparison of Quality and Price Here jm Philadelphia. The result of the investigations into as- phalt pavements as laid in Philadelphia and this eity, conducted under the auspices of | the Municipal Association an@ the Trades League of Philadelphia, has been embodied in a special report to Director Windrim of that city, which has just been published. It includes the reports of experts upon the chemical effects as well as physical tests applied to the two kinds of asphalt known as Bermudez and Trinidad, the latter being exclusively used in street-paving in Phila- deiphia, and comparisons of the relative merits of each. The object of the reports, which are elaborate and comprehensive, is to induce the director of public works to throw the asphalt paving of Philadelphia opea to competition. In their letter inclosing the different re- ports and statements concerning their in- Vestigations to Director Windrim the com- mittee say: “An expert inspection of Washington streets laid with the two kinds of material | covered in this report shows that the prac- tical test of wear and usage is endured at least as well by the asphalt from Bermudez as by that from Trinidad, which has hither- to monopolized the work in this city. The prices paid by the District of Columbia are furthermore shown to be so much less than | those hitherto charged for inferior work by | the monopoly in Philadelphia.” The chenical and pnysical tests are treated at length, with detailed scientitic statements of their results. On the subject of competition, as shown by the price paid | for asphalt paving m Philadelphia and in | this city. the experts say in conclusion: “Philadelphia, where there has been no competition for a number of years, been paying for her asphalt pavem laid on a six-inch concrete base, pric: | ranging from $2.60 to $2.15 per square yard, and on the so-calied ‘bituminous’ or “vul- canite’ base from $2.40 to $2.00 per square jyard’ Taking the average of the six-inch concrete pavement in Philadelphia at §2.77, and the present quotations of $2.10 in Wash. ington, we have a difference of 67 cents per square yard against Philadelphia. We be- lieve that if we had open competition here | | We could save at least 50 cenis per square | jyard, and secure better results. Existing | Specifications permit the use of a four-ana- | ja-half-inch base of broken stone, without cement. This is one of the main causes for rapid disintegration ef the asphalt pav. ments here, as well as for the large ex- penditure for reps and should be dis- continued. We would recommend that a concrete base be required under all asphalt pavements, as is now done in Washington.” apes A Little Fire. There was a lot of smoke in the south wing of the Treasury Department this morning about 10:30 o'clock. It came from @ lot of old rags and wool waste that had been set on fire in some unknown way. They were stored in a room on the base- ment floor in the southwest corner, used by the scrub women. Tracing the source of | the smoke, a couple of men entered the | Toom and stamped out the smoldering fire, | The smoking rags were thrown out into the | yard and the scare was over. No harm | could possibly have resulted from this fire, | | as the room where it occurred has a fivo | walis and ceiling of stone and is absolutely fire proof. The incident did not create much | excitement, and would have been unnoticed but for the smell of smoke that circulated jin the hall. The fire is supposed to have been started by rats nibbling at match heads. | —_—~__ Henderson Fife and Drum Corps. John A. Rawlins Post, No. 1, G. A. R., will be accompanied in the parade tomor- row by the John B. Henderson Fife and Drum Corps. The corps was recently or- ganized in the northwest part of this city, and consists of about thirty members, boys whose ages are from eight to fifteen years, and on this their first appearance they will carry a handsome corps flag presented by their lady friends last evening at the resi- dence of Mr. E. Betz, No, 1504 Caroline street. The presentation speech by Miss Margie Betz, who is only seven years old, was well done and worthy of one of ma- ture years. The flag was received by Sergt. Ralph Muller of the High School Cadets and drili instructor of the corps. A large number of persons were present to join the young | members of the corps in partaking of the | refreshments prepared by the ladics. The organization is named in honor of Gen. John B. Henderson of our city, who has taken @ great interest in its success. —_—__. Hos Many Schemes. George Fleischman, a young man, a citi- zen of Baltimore, came here yesterday to seek a fortune. He has numerous schemes, and it was these schemes that got him in trouble. According to his notions, he is able to save 9% per cent of the electricity used in this city. He also imagines he has a perfect cable grip and numerous other devices which will improve the street car service and gave expense to the companies. George was arrested, and this morning he was sent home by Sanitary Officer Frank. Mrs. Bugher’s Residence Sold. A. D. Addison, real estate broker, has sold for Mrs. Bugher her handsome residence, 1724 I street, to Mr. Arnold Hague. Investigation Park Gas Leak. Patrick Dowd, a watchman employed in Franklin Park, noticed gas escaping this morning from the large combination lamp and drinking fountain im front of the watch house and determined to discover the leak. He did so. He is now at his residence nursing sundry slight bruises and wondering how the miracle occurred which saved his life. It all happened this way: Patrick picked up a ladder just before the whistles blew for noon and climbed up on it to examine the lantern part of the lamp, whence he believed the gas had been es- caping. He lit a match to better prose- cute his investigations and the next in- stant an explosion occurred that fright- ened every one for three blocks around, blew the immense lamp post and fountain free from its foundations and hurled large pieces of its base and the drinking foun- tain all over the park. Patrick was also thrown to the ground, but escaped with a few bruises, as the explosion had taken place beneath him. He had enough fright blown into him to make his hair stand on end for sixty days. No one else was burt except a smail colored boy, who was slightly cut in the leg by a flying piece of iron. Had the accident occurred a few minutes later, when the park was filled with its usual noontime throng of chil- dren from the Franklin and Prof. Young's schools, the result would have been serious, as a perfect volley of broken pieces of iron was hurled in all directions. It is believed that the gas had from one of the pipes in the foundation below the lamp and had collected in the cavity under the base in large quantities, await- ing just such an opportunity to exhibit itself as Mr. Dowd and his match sented. Persons residing in the neigh! hood said the explosion sounded like the discharge of a huge cannon. All the houses in the immediate vicinity were shaken the concussion, which was violent to shatter several windows on 1 street. —— ee Going to Augusta, A distinguished .party left Washington this morning over the Richmond and Danville road to attend the southern interstate immigration and industrial congress, which convenes at Augusta, Ga. tomorrow for a three days’ session.
