Mr. Glover said he had had many
complaints about the condition of
things there during the recent rains.
One man had eighteen inches of water
in his (loci-yard.
Councilman Holmes said that the
streets were badly out out in places.
Where the water swept, out of Water

what it would cost tokeep it cleaned

struction Company. of Philadelphia. it
is a monstrous affair. and is a sight in
itself. it is situated‘dlrect’ly on the
farthest point of the dock and is not a
very good place for spectators towit-
heals the operations connected with the
hoisting of the cylinder on the deb-
rick boat. , ..
John L. Grim, general manager of
the Construction Company. stated to a
Sentinel reporter that the boat would
arrive sometime this afternoon. and at
low two this evening. the cylinder
would be placed on the host. it will
remain there all night..and at high tide
tomorrow morning, it will be taken to
the point where the lighthouse is to be
located. and sunic into the mud.
Four largo barges filled with crushed
stone and cement arrived at the point
last evening, with a force of men to
mix‘ the concrete which is to go inside
the cylinder. The foreman on the lob
said that it would take 540 yards to
fill the cylinder. There are five other
cylinders of smaller proportions to be
erected on top of the first installment.
and inside of these concrete will also
be placed. it will take [about 900
Yards of concrete toiili the entire, iron
cage.
There are about fifty men on the
concrete workand they are mostly
from New York. ' it was the intention
of the Construction Company to build

would have a place to sleep. Several

was, that the men might not fire to

There is an old shanty on the dock.
which isvused as 5a tool house. The

BOLD ATTEMPT "T.
. w or BURGLARY.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May at
What thcpolicc believe was a
during attempt to rob the Cani—
bridgeport Nati’odai Bank, of this
city,,by the use of dynamite, in
broad adylight, was revealed at
10:45 a. 111., today, by an explosion

or not 1-
ss booty was concerned,
place. ,
No one remembers having seen
any one about the bank either be-
fore or after the occurrence, who
was considered suspicious. The
fact that the center of the explo-
sion was that part of the wall be-
tween the banking rooms, and the
hall of the building, against which
the cash box used by the tellers
usually rested, is the principal evi—
dence in the hands of the police
believed to substantiate the rob»
bcry theory. It is thought from
the force of the concussion and
other evidences that dynamite
was used, and that it may have
been set off by a time fuse. The
bank is in a four stbry brick
structure on Massachusetts ave-
nue, near Central square,_ directly
in the business center of Cam—
bridge. The shock of the comic.
sion was felt for several blocks,
but no damage was done outside
of the bank building.
