Startled the Quakers. Of Diggle. Mr. Barham used to tell many absurd stories. Tho most amusing, however much to be condemned, of his practical Jokes was one in which his friend Barham also had a share. The two boys in course of one of their walks discovered a Quakers meeting home and forthwith procured a penny tart of a neighboring pastry cook. Furnished with this. Diggle marched boldly Into the building and, holding up tbe delicacy In the midst of the grave assembly, said with perfect solemnity, "Whoever speaks first shall have this pie." . "Friend, go thy way." commenced a drab colored gentleman rising; "go thy way." "The pie is yours, sir!" exclaimed Master Diggle. politely, and placing it before the astonished speaker, hastily effected Lis escipc. English College Life.

, The board of works . this morning approved and adopted the Plca&tnt Hill additional dedication, as submitted by the Richmond Urick company, owners of the land. The company will plat the ground and It will be sold out In lots. Richard Sedgwick and ono or two other property owners in the addition agreed to dedicate Seventh street for the opening within ' five years If the board would guarantee not to open Richmond avenue nor Randolph street for five years. After having submitted a 'proposition to attend to all Insurance policies on buildings owned by the 'city, by which he would receive half the saving In premiums to the city that might be Incurred through his advice in building impovements, Atwood Jenkins, an Insurance agent, submitted another proposition this morning, asking for a contract for three years instead of five, as he first desired. The proportion was turned down this" morning, after the hoard had received advice that there" is a state Insurance " Inspector who, ( on request, will examine public buildings and order Improvements which 'will reduce tho Insurance rate. The boacd ordered Clerk Bescher to correspond with the state inspector Immediately, asking him to come to Richmond. A minute examination of all the public biii'idings and the improvements recommended by the state inspector will be made. This information is furnished free. There was a short discussion of the opening of North Fourth street, from Main to North A streets. The board decided it could not make this Improvement, some time ago, because of the heavy damages which would be demanded by property owners. Several residences would have to be removed If the street Is opened, and one largo brick structure at Fourth and Main street would be damaged. Howeve. as the Louck and Hill company, of North Third street fought for an opening of tho street, the board of works gave this company iermis-sion-to solicit funds to pay the damages on the street opening. The damages will amount to $10,000. At this morning's meeting a representative of the company said he believed this sum of money could be raised. The lioard practically decided to buy Jones underfeed stokers for the boilers of the municipal electric light and power plant. Bids were submitted by the Jones people, and by the Taylor Underfeed stokers company. The Jones' stokers cost approximately $5770 installed, while the Taylor bid was $7650. The contracts from the two companies were put in the hands of N. II. Johnson superintendent of the light plant, and will be reHrted on at a special meeting of the board, to be held tomorrow morning.
