The - board -of public arvlca has declared against macadam at a fit material for Improving attests and at a meeting- yesterday afternoon decld . d to give a saw preparation, tarvlra, by nam, a trial on local thorough fares. The nrst tst of this material will be toad ob tha Statesvllle road, from the township limits to the bridge on North Graham street, where the township road force will engage In - partially working off a debt of from ! 4i.09 to It.itO due the city in hlgh ' way tax.- In addition to laying new material on this road. It will be wld- , ened from SO to 0 test for the dls : i tance above stated. The board also ordered that the county convicts, - working -off a similar debt except for about 41,060, us tarvlra or another cert of tar preparation on tha Camden road merely for a teat. ' MACADAM IS UN8ATISFACTORT. Speaking last night of the action uk en, a inemDer of tne ooara aaia , that macadam was altogether unsatis factory for street purposes, dust ac , cumulating so rapidly and the road wearing away at such a rate as to snake It too costly. Mr. T. W. Haw ' kins, who has been in correspond- a nee with authorities In Chicago, stat . 4 to the board that tarvlra was f being used extensively in that cHy and was proving very satisfactory. It is a compound similar in many re-;-.aecU to bltullthlc, but without Its , . endurance, being placed with less - depth than the bltullthlc material. It will be used on top of the macad . an read and streets Just as they are , and without any removal of the pree- est foundations. On the streets In s the city It will be placed below the ' established grade by a few Inches so that la the event that bltullthlc is de- elded upon in the future. It can be ' laid en top of the tarvlra substance '"Without .additional excavation. MUCH CHEAPER MATERIA!' While tarvlra is not recommended as a compound that will last alto . ' gether as long as the bltullthlc, it - has the advantage - of being very , ranch cheaper. It will cost only about 7s cents a square yard, while " estimates on the cost of macadam, . place It at about 69 cants. Tarvlra, - therefore becomes but approximately J eenta a square yard more expen sive than the ordinary macadam with Its many disagreeable features. In - appearance little difference can be - 'detected between tarvlra and bltu-1 v Ilthio. both presenting the same sur face almost precisely. it is argueu . that It will last equally as long as macadam, and in addlton to this " equal advantage, the unpleasantness ..f dust Is done away with and from other points of view, it has the de cided preference. MAT BE USED EXTENSIVELY, v It Is the Idea of the board of public service, which has first whack at all street matters, to abolish the ma cadam road or street entirely and sub stitute tarvlra. When petitions are presented for betterment of thorough fares in any Dart of the city, the board contemplates the use of this new material on such a plan as will make passible the substitution of blt ullthlc at any time in the future when there la such a demand. This scheme may lead to an extensive use of this tar preparation as the city forces are frequently engaged in top-laying . eome macadam street of the city. It ts not Improbable that such a mate rial may be recommended for Dll- 'worth, provided the citizens and the city cannot agree on the laying of bltullthlc. over which there is now ouch a pronounced wrangle. The eervice board appears to be much pleased with the new And It haa made In the way of street Improvements : and In a few weeks the people of the city will have an opportunity to take a. look at it when the work on the : Btatetville road begins. ' v THE DILWORTH PETITIONS. . 5- The petitions both for and against the immediate Improvement of the , Boulevard with bltullthlc were sent to the street committee of the board, ref which Mr. T. W. Hawkins is chairman, with instructions to secure estimates from the city engineer and snake recommendations as to what action to take on the matter. When this board passes upon the case, the board of aldermen will put a final seal Vpon it, one way or the other. The board agreed to proceed with the work of Improving the street un der the subway at the Seaboard depot with material which ran be secured 'Within the appropriation from the fin ance committee, which was tl.SOO. It Was at first thought that bltulltnic would be the, most desirable material, bopt the finance committee concluded- I hat the necessary money, about f.$00, could not be spared for Im proving such a short stretch. A number of other matters of minor Im portance were discussed by the board during the Mention which lasted for about two hours. stored with choice , collection of confiscated spirits, took from the ar ray of jugs, kegs, valtses and boxes such as suited their fastidious tastes and departed a mysteriously as they came. The amount to which they helped themselves Is aa undertermln ed as their mode of Ingress and egress. It is believed,' however, that some forty or arty gallons Were taken, one keg- being missed and a number of valises. - , -,; Although the chief of police has not yet had his pockets picked, as wss recently suggested if the local thieves increase much In tha future in the daring with which they execute their Plans, tne court house, the .Mecklen burg temple of Justice, doth continue a favorite prize for the wicked. This is the second raid that has been made on the store room of liquor and time and again In the past the offices have been rifled, though nothing of conse quence was ever secured. Only two ways are possible by which the thieves could have gained access to the building. One is by raising 'tome of the windows In the magisterial offices in the basement. Janitor Sam Klrkpatrlck avers that every one of these was locked Sun' day morning when he and the clerk of the court made the round after dis covering the theft. The other meth od is by climbing up in the front of the building, holding on to the drain pipe and making use of the footholes afforded by the lapses between the tiers of brick work. Once the veran da was gained, the rest was compara tlvelv easy. All the doors can be opened from the Inside, thus admit ting the first man's confederates and too) a All the doors, again, lock themselves, 'hence the locked condi tion of the house when entered yes terday. The liquor store room, which eon tains three or four hundred gallons. Is on the Try on street side, just to the north of the balcony which over looks that street. A pathway of twelve inches' width runs out from the balcony, directly under the window of the room desired. Standing on this precarious perch, the robbers raised the window of the room, pass ed out what liquor was desired and departed through a downstairs' door, This, at any rate, ts what probably occurred. The other attempts to force entrance were made before that by the windows was decided on. heavy Iron crowbar was found In the criminal oout-t room, which adjoins. with which blows had been struck against the unyielding door. A few bricks, too, had been dislodged from the wall to the right of the staircase which winds around the witness room on the south. Apparently, the thirsty ones thought that the wall was hollow and a hols could be made through which to drag themselves. But this failed. It required a high order of nerve to carry out this project within a few hundred yards of Independence square, usually guarded by a cordon of police, within a hundred feet of the electric light at the corner of !

While engaged In the operation of a gasoline wood-saw yesterday after noon at the residence of Mr. Jasper K- Hand, In North Charlotte. Mr. Lee Pope got his right arm caught In the saw, receiving an injury which will In all probability coat him the loss of his hand. His right arm just above the wrist was cut badly. large pieces of flesh being torn out. and the bone was snapped in twain. He was taken to Hand's drug store. In North Charlotte, where all was done that could be, but there being no physician in the vicinity he was sent to the city as soon as the bleeding was stopped. He received further treatment at the Hamilton Martin drug store, after which he was taken to the Presbyterian Hos pital. The wound bled freely when first Inflicted and ts an ugly one. this hemisphere of the earth basked in the luminous rays of Luna.
