Engineer Makes Estimates of
Cost in View of Pending
Bond Issue,
SMOOTH FINISH TALKED OF
Opinions Differ as to Wearing
Qualities of Asphalt Block
on Busy Streets.
Anticipating favorable action by tho
City Council on tho pending bond Issue
of $l,o00.000 for streut improvements
of a permanent character, the City
Engineer's Department Is preparing
preliminary estimates for Improving
several of the main thoroughfares
leading into the city, and for the re?
paying of a large part of Broad
StrooL
Kor several years the Improvement
of the roadbed of Broad Street had
bcon under discussion. Two great
sewers have boon provided for its
drainage, and tho engineers believe
that If the bonds arc issued, as pro?
posed, that should be one of the Urst
undertakings.
If smooth-paved from curb to curb,
the cost will be approximately $10,000
a block, of which the street car com?
pany will pay about $3,000, paving
between Its tracks and for two feet
on either side. ?
As to the character of tho paving,
opinions differ. Complaint has been
made of the slippery character of the
asphalt Block for heavy teams, and at
busy corners, such as Sixth and Grace
Streets, where many reavlly loaded
vehicles cross, that form of paving has
shown moro rarld signs of wear than
on purely residential streets. Mr.
Colling suggests paving between the
car tracks and for four %eet on each*
side with cut granite or Belgian
blocks, and the remainder with smooth
asphalt block for lighter teams and
motor cars. After all. it is pointed out,
there arc im Richmond comparatively j
few days of sleet and ice when horsos
cannot gain a footing on smooth-paved
streets.
Whenever tho work Is none, tne Vir?
ginia Railway and Power Company
stands ready to relay Its tracks down
the centre of tho street with new and
heavier rails, on permanent cbncccte
construction.
This will give an opportunity for
raising the tracks at some points, giv?
ing a better arch or crown to the road?
way, and securing better drainage, as
at present the street is so flat that
water stands after showers at Third,
First and other points, tho car tracks
being almost eievel with the gutter
line at the south curb.
The paving will probably start at
the City Mall corner, at Tonth Street.
and extend westwardly to Adams, a
distance of wtelvc blocks, at an esti?
mated cost of $125,000. If continued to
Klha Station, the additional cost would |
be from $60.000 to $70,000.
Merchants doing business on Broad
Street have petitioned that when the!
street Is rebuilt, tho sidewalks, espe?
cially on tho south side, be widened
three or four feet, at the expense of
the roadbed. This has not met with j
fnvor In the Street Committee, as It Is I
pointed out that were merchants to re-j
move show cases, signs and all cn-i
croachm'ents back to the property line
the sidewalk would be ample and tho,
street would have n much neater and I
morn metropolitan appearance, the or?
namental lighting would show to bet?
tor advantage, and the show windows
of the stores would he lC3s obstructed.

NO GREAT MYSTERY
IN HAWKINS CASE
Arrest May Follow Coroner's
Inquest, but This Is Not
Certain,
EVIDENCE OF FLIMSIEST WND
Prosecution Utterly Fails to
Fasten Crime Where Sus- I
picion Points.
[By Staff Correspondent ]
Hondersonvllle, N. a, September 1?.
?While the death of Myrtle Hawkins,
whose body was found In Lake Os
oeola eight days ago. was tragic, yet
there is no great sensation, no great
mystery In this etory, whloh has ox
cited tho people of a whole State up
here In the mountain's. When the
coroner's inquest is concludod to-mor?
row night somebody may be arrested
charged with murder, yet that is not
at all certain, for tho State's evi?
dence is of the flimsiest kind. The
murder has been overplayed.
This much may bo said without un?
just criticism on newspaper correspon?
dents who have undertaken to build
up a mystery greuter even then that
following the recent killing of Mrs.
Henry C. Beattle, Jr., near Iitchmond,
for which her husband has been sen?
tenced to electrocution.
But the facts won't Justify it. Any
little town is apt to get excited when
a girl's body is found in a lake That
Is natural. Moroover, the air has been
filled with rumors, world without ^end.
sut nobody could nail them down^: so
there you are.
An TJclr Story.
It 1b not a Bcattie case; It la sim?
ply the ugly story of a wayward girl
and an illegal operation, porformed
in the hope of saving her from dis?
grace. It killed her. Thon her body
was left In the woods, and finally
thrown Into the water. There was
none of that "malice aforethought" In
the eyes of the law. It Is murder, but
hardly murder. In the first degree.
The evidence points to the fact. It
would seem that the victim was a party
to the scheme. But tho prosecution
thus far has utterly failed to fasten
the crime where suspicion points. And
it is douhtful if it ever will.
A week ago a coroner's Inquest was
held; tho Jury returned the bald ver?
dict that Miss Hawkins came to her
death In a manner unknown. When
the demand rccame insistent, the case
was reopenei*. and the new Inquest,
which was adjourned from day to day.
was resumed this afternoon. Ton wit?
nesses went on tho stand, and failed
to produce the promised sensation.
They knew nothing -more than had
been admitted heretofore. None of
them could agree. One young farmer
did testify that he saw Mlrs Hawkins
near the lake on Thursday a week SB",
and Inter In the evening he says he
saw George Bradley and a strantro
woman In th" same neighborhood. By
questions of the examlnlnrr attorney
It was brought out that Bradley had
been under suspicion, but none o? the
wltnesse?. could tell anything that
would be Incriminating.
TTOeteetlve is ?cnsntlon.
A Washington detective, who has
created a bigger sensation. If you murr,
know. thRn the murder It-elf. has been
unable to produce any direct or indi?
rect evidence. He has throughout the
dull proceedings lnoke-t exceedingly
grave, while the crowded court room
tittered. All this talk about that re?
ward of f 1.500. has dwindled down to
the $?S0 which It h reported the Gov?
ernor has offe-rel. Taking ur> the mys?
tery from another angle, there Is no
society end. There Is no golden end
The girl's father ronduet? a Jewelry
store, and Is not rich. The town ha*
known Mvrtie Hawkln? since she
nraneed nround In plgtill? snd pina?
fore, and the town proper screes that
the murder w?? most shocking But
murder was hardlv premeditated or
hardly nlnnned The girl's parents
knew of her trouble before ?he dis?
appeared. It Is another caao where
one might wisely quote that old text
that "the wages of sin Is death."
During the summer reason Hender
sonvllle is overrun with a gay and
giddy throng. The town this year ap?
pears to have eocktalled Its way Into
the limelight. One newspaper went so
far In discussing the murdor as to
I say that the brutal killing of an Igno
! rant girl was a visitation of Provi?
dence, but thore Is no rolntlon be
| tween the giddy throng and Myrtle
! Hawkins, because they swung about in
i different circles.
! Speaking as one who understands
; the public's weakness for mystery and
j crime in typo, the Hawkins case has
I been overrated. It would never have
I burdened the wire except for the one
1 fact that the body was fished out of a
I lake. It is a dull, sordid, unspeak?
able thing. This much may be truly
i said in dismissing it: The attempt to

The Beattlo murder probably lnaplr
ed homo talent, and home talent gave
It a brilliant dressing for the press.
It may bo Just as well to cite these
facts, or observations. In decapplng It
from tho frenzied card. Slnco Satur?
day there havo been the wildest ru- j
mors about what might be expected
to-Jny. Naturally, a few correspond?
ents nibbled, but when It was plain on
Its face that the prosecution had failed
this aitcrnoon to put It squarely up to
the Jury, It wus time to escape this
whirlwind ot seneatlonaltalk.
The groat detective became more
grave towards tho end. The eminent
lawyer who conducted the examination
could not see visions of a murderer In
tho shadow of the death chair.
At tho opening of court the coroner
made u neat little speech, In which he
assailed certain correspondents who
have citliclzed his Inactivity. He
threatened to drive them away, but all
this wild chatter has been brought
about by tne public's demand for the
sensation which local detectives prom?
