GENERAL FERRERO DEAD.

HIi Uroalli u 111k Scaudal cl
th? Olvll War. <
New York, Deo. 13.?Major Gener-.l
Edward Ferrero is dead at his bourn ia
this city, aged b8 years. He was bora j
in Spain of Italian parents. His father !
a was a famous dancing master and he 1
himself became a teacher of uancicg.
In 1861 he raised the Fifty-first New
York regiment, called the "Shopard
Rifles," of which ho was made colouel.
? He led a brigade in Burnside's expedition
to Roanoke island, where his regiment
took the first fortified redoubt
captured in the war.
General Ferrero's death recalls one of
the great scandals of the civil war. At .
Petersburg, when a mine was blown up
which engulfed seven companies of the
flOufA(l?rll>*l nnil ~ ~ ? ??
IUU1 utliuuu, kUU no- ;
gro troops aud a brigado of whitos wero
to charge. Bat half the men lui<l down
their nrma and refused to charge. Tho '
other brigade?8,500 strong?advanced <
until met by a squad of 800 confederates '
at the cavity left by the exploded mine. !
They retreated without tiring a single ,
hot. Their support of 1,200 white men
were trappeddn the miue and slangln- j
ered almost tojs man. {
By tha iuhrestigation which was sub- t
equently made by the court of inquiry, '
of which Major General \V. S. Hancook
was presidont, tho failure of the
assault after tho mine explosion was
ascribed in part to Brigade General
Ferrero "for want of readiness for the
assault, not going with his troops, bat
remaining in a bomb-proof."

Among the parties indicted were D. I

fact that all of the pariios indicted havo :

Some of these parties, it is alleged,
were catspaws for the others, simply al- lowing

were printed on letterheads. |
It is claimed by tho government that *
these men banded together to defraud
merchants and others out of large quau- ;

MAINTAINING ROADS.
CONSTANT CARE NEEDED TO KEEP

State Engineer Bond of Now York
la paying great attention to the matter
of construction of good roads and has
issued a bulletin calling attention to
Ihe necessity of great care In keeping
tho roads after they have been constructed.
He says:
"Itoads In the country are continually
subjected to the action of the elements,
the wear of the wheels and
horses' feet and the continual pounding
they receive from passing loads.
Therefore, after a road has been accepted
by the state engineer as com
yiuitfu una rurueu over 10 uie oincers
of the county, it is then that the duties
of the officers really commence, and
It depends on their efforts as to what
llie life of the road will be whether
they will spend the money wisely on
maintenance or allow the road to deteriorate
and tnake expensive repairs
accessary.
"As no provision has been made in
the HIgble-Armstrong bill for such
maintenance, aside from the provisions
in section 13, 'All persons owning property
abutting on such road so Improved
or residing thereon shall thereafter
pay all highway taxes assessment
igalnst them in money, In the manner
aow provided by law,' it may be well
to consider the various methods lu
rogue by which roads cau be kept from
leteriorating.
"This subject Is so well understood
n European countries that we need
look no further for the cause of the excellence
of their roads. Three systems
exist?tlrst, by contract with private
parties; second, by the aid of the
rural population; third, by the men
employed for that purpose by the community.
"Of those three, only the third propesition
is the proper one. That is the
system used by France and Germany,
the objection to No. 1 being that it has
mnn ti-lntl fniirul \vniitir?cr# in Vn 9
llio aid given by the rural population
s not applicable to the maintenance of
iu improved road, as such a road needs
;hc supervision of a ninn perfectly faniliar
with that class of work, and
meli a one can only gain that familiarty
by being constantly and permanenty
employed. Men who have been giv?n
charge of a piece of road soon become
interested In it and will strive energetically
cod intelligently to make
their portion of the road the best. It
would seem advisable, therefore, that
the third proposition should be adopted
by the supervisors of the county in
which the improved road is situated?
that is. a man should bo appointed and
employed permanently who should
tiave the road, or a certain portion of
It, in his charge and who. under the supervision
of the officers of the county,
should be responsible for Its maintenance.
"The total points in the care of a
road are as follows: First, keeping the
surface of the road free from all deposits,
du6t or mud, horse manure or other
rubbish; second, filling of ruts and depressions;
third, cleaning ditches and
seeing that nil culverts aud water
courses are free from obstructions;
fourth, sprinkling the roads In dry
IFPD thAf
"To carry out properly these absolutely
necessary operations the county
officers must supply their roadmen
"*h (Bucli appliances and tools as are
n Hi. After a rond lias been hand?quli
v ' ? the care of the supervisors
1 over i*. 'mmedlately order a sufflley

tncstone screenings. It v ? op this
?r mile of rond kept one yea. and
rstem than It will under the oh. *aj
id system of semiannual or annu.
>pa!rs. Without continual attention
iere can be no such thing as a permasutly
good road. The material should
s placed in regular plies or storage
laces along the side of the road, 200
? 250 feet apart, but In no case should
lie on the road or encroach upon It.
"It would appear that a mile of road
f good material, with heavy travel,
ould need about 32 yards of material
year, and piles of stone placed 200
?et apart, say 6 feet long. 3 feet wide
ad V/j feet high, would be ample to
lpply all needs. Such a pile would
sntaln one cubic yard and could be
islly measured at all times. By placig
them 200 feet apart 26 of such
lies to the mile would suffice.
"The next thing to be purchased by
?e supervisors Is a kit of tools to be
sed by the man In whose care the
sad Is Disced. He should be furnished
Mth a wheelbarrow, pick, shovel,
rush broom, hoe. rake, profile board.
>vol, line, bush hook, spade, four
ouml hammer and a road rammer
bout 7 Inches In diameter and weighty
about 14 pounds. Every road should
ave a roller, and if the length of the
ond does not Justify the purchase of
steam roller one drawn by horses
hoiltd be used. The horse roller should
iKdgli not less than four tons and the
team roller uot less than ten tons,
'he weight per Inch of width is more
mportant than the gross weight of tl>e|
nnohflne. and rollers should be built so'
s to exert a pressure of not less thanj
.00 pounds to the lineal Inch, measured!
icross face of rollers. A sprinkling
;art Is also one of the necessary adluncts
of n well kept road, as the
:endency of the road to ravel In dry
Eventher may be quickly arrested by
the Judicious use of water."
Mr. Bond also advocate* Instructing
the farmer so that ho will see the necessity
for the use of wide tires.

The instantaneous uproar which
arose caused the driver to shut off
