He stated that as the city had already a bond issue of $187,000 it would not be pos slide to issue bonds to the amount of more than $25,000. j City Engineer Lee submitted inter? esting estimates on the paving of Mftta street from Calhoun street to Bartlett street, with both bltullthlc and vitrified brick, the cost of the bitu- | j llthlc paving being approximately $27, 158, and that of the vitrified brick being about $19.009. Eestlmates were also submitted by Mr. Lee for the continuance of the paving to the de? pot along the same streets where the sidewalks ar now paved.

The matter of draining Turkey creek was brought up, and underwent considerable discussion. Mr. Lee stated as information to council that in his opinion It would be a good Idea to get the legislature to authorize the I organization of a drainage district, v. hereby every property owner on Turkey creek would pay his part of the cost of having the creek prop? erly drained, the city and county also paying their part, and It was agreed to look into this matter further. A communication was received from several store keepers on the western side of South Main street, complain? ing of danger from fire caused by a stove pipe In . negro restaurant in the rear of their stores.

Newest Model Of Dirigible, Destroy? ed by Explosion and Fire in Shod nt Badon-Badon. Regular Pass? enger Craft. Baden-Baden, Sept. 14.?The latest type of Count Zeppelin's inventive genius met with disaster today when the dirigible balloon Zeppelin VI took fire after texplosion while warped into her shed. A score or more men were engaged in the task of housing the ! airship when a benzine tank in the rear gondola exploded, setting fire to | an adjacent gas compartment. The j explosion of this compartment was followed by the explosion of 16 otn ers. There was a gush of flames, de? veloping intense heat and the whole structure was destroyed in a few minutes. Nothing remained of Count Zeppelin's latest model except a tang? led mass of aluminum. The flames were extingushed in the shed without serious damage. Sev? eral workmen were burned, but none fatally. | The ignition of the benzine occurred while workmen were engaged in cleaning the machinery, during which the benzine holders were Ignited. The Zeppelin VI, in the past ten days has made 34 passenger trips, covering about 2,000 miles and car? rying more than 500 passengers. The trips were made regulary, often in bad weather. This is the third accident which has befallen the Zeppelin dirigibles the histories of which have been bril? liant but brief and usualy ending In disaster. The Zeppelin VI was under charter of the Passenger Air company hav? ing replaced in the passenger ser? vice the recently wrecked ship Zep plein V. She made a trial August 19. She proved the steadiest of her type end it was announced that she maintain? ed a speed of 35 miles an hour. The dirigible was reconstructed to carry ten passengers and in the last few days had made trips to various in? teresting places. Many Aemricans were among the excursionists.
