Exciting Squabble Over q Sewer ssJoh,,--
Interfereuce by tho PelIce-One Of the Com

Business.
In Newark scarcely has the excitement over one
sewer and It's sad concomitants subsidized tnan an
other sewer excitement or widely different charac-
ter looms up TO engross public discussion It ap-
pears that at recent meeting OF the
Common Council Committee, whose duty it
Is 10 make awards OF contracts for the
building OF sewers proposals were received for
an extensive Job on Kenney street, something like
mile long, from seven eight dlferent parties
At first 1t was found that the lowest bidder was Mr.
Francis Carlin, a contractor, who was notified and
ordered to commence work. This he did right away
On closer examination OF the papers and dOcu.
ments It was found that the contract properly be-
longed to Mr.. Michael shandley, another contractor
but before he made any move IN the matter the DIS
cOvery was third time made that the contract be-
lOnged TO neither one OF the parties named but 10
Mr.. Edward keOgh, also contractor. Here was n
pretty kettle OF fish, truly. Carlin had by this time
not desst at the request Of Mr.. Keoeh nor Of Mr..
Street Commissioner Allen. On Monday afternoon
matters looked exceedingly serious and 1t feared
that fierce breach OF the peace would be made by
or other Of the rival contractors. While Carlln
was going ahead at one end OF the sewer Keoah
started his hands at the other.
On Monday evening, at the instance OF the
street IN, Commissioner anss M warrant was issued
n lSr navno g aesS mf,es q mr. esnn on the charge
Bright and early yesterday morning Chief
OF Police PecKwcll and strong posse Of men
were promptly Oh hand at the sewer to arrest CarIn
and prevent any further disturbance. Carlin Jailed
to nut In an appearance but his foreman and Ia
bOrers did, and on their commencing to work the
foreman was arrested by the chief. He made no re-
sistance and on promising TO refrain from further
operations was liberated Meanwhile, about half
house and delivered himself up. He was
Immediately liberated on bail to appear
next Friday ana stand an examination on
the charge already mentioned He LEFT vowing that
he would resume work, but 1t seems he did not An
Ofcer was left at the sewer armed with the warrant
to arrest him should he intefere with Mr.. Keogh,
who ihenceforward was left In peaceful possession
OF the work.
To the least OF it, the committee style OF dong

publicans in Bennington County. and an occa-

the only excitements. The quiet seems to have
affected cur correspondents, though We sent cir
