SEWER DAMAGED BY THE RAN.-The heavy
rain yesterday morning filed the CUTTERS along the
streets 20 suddenly that the water taken by sur
prise, was unable to find sufficient outlet through
the means provided by the Corporation In the
the cutters were overlooked, and damage thereby
done to the streets. Ia Tenth street. between 4
and streets, the drop communicating with the
great sewer which crosses the street In the middle
of the square, on the west side, was insufficient to
carry the water out Of the gutter, and il overlooked
just at the point where the workmen are engaged
in building the brick arch to the continued sewer
running through the adjoining vacant "a uare; and
coming In contact with the freshly built portion
Of the arch, worried i, y, way through, causing
The damage, however, IL inconsiderable, and
will soon be repaired.
Later About an hour after the above was writ
ten, another portion Of the same arch, upon which
the bricklayers were working and about fifteen
feet in extent, fell in, badly crushing the foot of
an lrishman named Tom O'Donnell, who was
into the sewer. He was Immediately pulled out
and carried into acarpenter shop near by, and sur
gical assistance rendered him.
NoTIcE, in another column, the advertisement
Of Mr.. Alexander Rutherford who has lust placed
in operation the Pioneer Steam Marble and Brown
stone w orks, corner Of Pa avenue and Thirteenth
st. Mr. Rutherford, as the oldest man In his line
Of business In this city, has the eminent pro-
Priety Ct doing away with the necessity for send
ing out Of the city for work Of a superior finish
which can only be done by machinery; and with
the energy OF a thoroughgoi business man has
added to bis facilities the use Of steam and ma
chInery. Those In his line Of business who have
hitherto depended upon the steam marble mills
of Baltimore, Philadelphia, and other northern
cities, need do so no more, he is fully pf repaired
TO execute all ORDERS at the same prices as are de-
handed in those cities We happened to step
into his establishment day or two ago and were
struck with the rapidity and perfection with
which his cam-impelled rubbing beds, frame
and rip saws and polishing beds do their work
Let him be encouraged In bis good work Of CIV
Ing forward impetus to home trade. There 10
no reason upon earth why Warrington, George
town and Alexandria should depend upon north
efn cities for anything In the way Of manufactures
while we have among us men Of business ability
and enterprise.
