BRICK IS LAID

MAYOR JONES PUTS THE FIRST BLOCK IN PLAGE Difficulty in Rolling the Gravel Foundation Leads to flDDre- " hßf sion as to Results. Exactly at 1:36 o'cIockFridav afterV noon Mayor P. O. Jones, in the presence of the contractors, some city officials and a few interested citizens, solomnly laid the first brick in the first pavement in the city of rivmouth. Councilmen Reynolds and Astley then laid the second and third bricks and the job was turned over to the work men to be pushed on to completion. It is expected that the bricklayers will get to the bridge fully as soon as the foundation is prepared for them, the work being started at the north side of Jackson street. Seme difficulty was experienced in running the heavy roller over the 8-inch layer of gravel that constitutes the foundation and upon which two inches of sand will be laid to form a bed for the brick, and an arrangement has been entered into whereby the pavement is to be laid first and then rolled, the agreement of the contractors being that if the result is not satisfactory in the first square so laid and rolled they will take it up and do the work over in accordance with the original contract. Many citizens are apprehensive that the ill effects of such a procedure may not become manifest for several vears, when It will be too late to apply a remedy except at the city's expense, and they feel that the usual course should be pursued by Hatch & Sons, that of rolling the gravel in layers or using a light roller first before applying the heavy one. It is the common opinion that the gravel foundation should be thoroughly packed before the pavement is laid, and that a surface of permanent smoothness cannot otherwise be insured.

GONE TO HORSE HEAVEN

Chief Kuhn s Fire Horse is Dead A Notable Career. Death has again invaded the ranks of Plymouth's public characters and removed a figure that has been fami liar on our streets for more than twenty years. Old "Frank" is dead, lie died Friday night at 11 o'civk, quietly and painlessly, after an illness of but a day, which was the only illness he ever experienced in his unusually long life. Frank was the horse that for many years drew Chief Kuhn's fire buggy. He was born on the Closser stock farm near Laporte 33 years ago last November, of respectable but not especially notable parents, and he came to Plymouth in 1879 as the property of Fred IL Kuhn, in whose service he remained, a faithful and rclfable l)east. When Mr. Kuhn was made chief of the city fire department in 1884 old Frank was taken in also and his intelligent apprehension of his duties was no less remarkable than his eagerness to perform them. He knew the fire bell and whistle and never failed to distinguish the alarm of fire from other sounds made bv the r same bell or whistle, day or night. On one occasion when an alarm came, Frank was tied in his stall with a heavy strap and he was also shut in by a half door locked across the rear of his stall. No one came to relensn him so he tore-loose from the fastenings,leapcd the barrier and llcw to the scene of the fire, where he arrived at the same moment Chief Kuhn did, to whom he reported and stopped quietly until the firemen finished their work. For four years Frank has been deaf and lias Wen retired from the service and from work of all kinds, and during that time he has always been agitated at he sight of the fire buggy mo v i n g a wa v from him. Friday morning at 2 o'clock the old horse was stricken with paralysis. Mr. Kuhn, who was at Pretty Lake, was immediately sent for and remain ed witli the sick animal until all hope was abandoned late in the afternoon. Frank was quiet and contented so long as his master remained by him, but was nervous and seemingly apprensive in his alsence, constantly moving and glancing alout as though m fear or distress. When the end came there was i, gasp and a tremor and old Frank's spirit took its High for the equine paradise.

Thursday forenoon while Mrs. Hoke, ofElkhart,who is visiting the family of Henry Price west of this city, was driving to town in a buggy with her two children, a wheel broke at the Pennsylvania railway crossing and so frightened the horse that he ran away. The occupants of the vehicle were thrown out but not injured, except that Mrs. Hoke's face was badly scratched, and the contents were scattered over a distance of half a mile to the old Palmer place, where the animal was caught. The property was all recovered except Mrs. Hoke's pocket book, containing some money and valuable papers. The book was found later but the money was gone. - Improvements at St Michaels. Extensive improvements are being made during the summer 'vacation at St. Michael's Academy in the interest of comfort and convenience.. The chief alteration is the construction of a basement building for purposes of storage and to accommodate a hot water heating plant to cost . $2,000. In another year it is probable that an additional building will be erected and still further improvements made, the plans having already been adopted.
