brewery at Bridgeport, opposite Eddy
vile, got drunk, and coming home ran
their horses at fearful rate. Peters horse
fell and broke the riders neck. &. . The
Union also says: "Charles G. Gilman,
Chief Engineer of the road, arrived here
on Monday evening with his Engineer
Corps, having finished the survey at the
north end of tine road from Northwood,
Iowa, to Wells, Minnesota, where the Gen.
trail will connect with St. Paul road. The
engineers have, we believe, commenced
the survey from this place to Centerville.
As most of the grading Yves almost COM
pleted beyond Moravia, we suppose the
engineers work will consist of setting the
grade stakes for leveling up the road bed.
We have not learned at what point the
road will leave the old Moulton grade to go
to Centerville. Some pretty heavy work
will have to be done to get through Gen.
terville to the State line where the road is
to connect with the St. L. K G. g. N. for
merly North Missouri and with the Drake
road, SO we do not expect to see the road
completed this season, though there is no
telling what President Gilman will do
when he makes start. He is an energet-
ic and experienced builder OF railroads,
and may crowd it through this fall"

MONROE TOWNSHIP,

ships, counting from the south lies south
Of Pleasant Grove. and north of White
Oak. Entering this TIP. in the southern
corner. I found scope of country along
the river, and On the southern line some
what broken, and covered with timber and
underground, with occasional good farms.
Robert Bass. $50 acre farmer, has a fine
new house, 24x32 in the main, and T ad-
dition 16x16, one story and half, with
cellar under the whole he has fine site
and will continue to improve until his
farm presents much better appearance.
Passing on toward Middle Greek, VIM.
Wymore's new house is seen, 2Sx30. First
after crossing the creek, and on the Sigour-
ney road, lives Mr.. A. Augustine, one of
Iowa's very early settlers, and reader of
the HERALD since its beginning. A con-
versation with HIM on the early history of
the country will prove, as found it, very
interesting and instructive. liz the Hope
well neighborhood may be seen the Chris
tian church, a fine building, 36x40 also
mile farther east the Methodist church,
2Sx48, neat, tasty and we'll finished. G.. L.
Fifield, a AGO acre farmer, deserves mo-
ments notice. Mr.. F. turns his attention
TO hogs, and with worthy pride,
showed me his pigs, some of which are
very handsome. He believes in the Poland
and Big China. and will give us chance
to see his "pets" at the Fair in August.
He proposes also to take them to Keokuk
Co, and Des Moines.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF THE WORK.
As was noticed in The STAR last week, the
lsrge sewer in II street, from eth 70 lith street,
of the old canal in carrying of the sewerage of
the central portion Of the city, was finished, and
Messrs. CAN'T and Appleman, the contractors,
on Saturday night, at which were present: Chief
Engineer Phillips, Inspector Wallscs, Inspector
Stanley and other officials under the board Of
pubic woIk aud the ToTkmen who had been
Chief Engineer Phillips presided at the WELL
laden tables, anil sitter the company had done
full justice TO ''oysteTs in every style, Nr. Phil
lips, IN reply TO a toast complimentary 10 his
services in connection with the construction OF
the sewer, said that the contractors and the
workmen had been faithful. and he had no
doubt but this sewer would stand for ages. He
did not claim that IL was large enough 20 carry
of such quantities Of water as sometimes fell in
this section of the country. When a sulphur
storm prevails and the tide is high, the water
could escape, however, 20 the bed of the street
above, and thus the work would be able 20 with
SIAM tne 81, pressure IL was proposed by the
strUct a sort OF basin, in view of such a cOntin-
gency. The curbs will be placed Is inches
above the bed OF the street, with sidewalks
sioping an inch TO the foot, and carriagewsy
paved with Belgian blocks. The fall from eth
t. l. I'll street VIII be uniform with the fal of the
sewer-two feet in the entire distance-and when
the sewer 0yertlows this basin Will receive and
carry of the water, without damage 10 the adj
joining property.
SltSE n lew py MT. ApplemAn, Dr.
Wallace, inspector, said that for fourteen wears
he had sat on the banks OF Tiber and shed tears
when be failed to find the corporation or Con-
gress perieciing any measures looking To
abahng the pestiterous canal nuisance. He
was now happy; the 1iber is srched, and the Il
street sewer takes the place OF "Severson's
ditch.' he thought, however, that the national
government, in allowing the causeway OF the
long bridge to dam up the waters of the Po-
tomac, had made great mistake, and that until
the causeway is removed property along the
line OF the sewer is liable to be overlooked by
the backing up of water.
MIR. Joseph IL. Stanley offered the following
toast "Severson's Ditch known as the canal):
Encompassed in brick by the board of public
works."
Mr.. j. j. Burroughs responded to this sentI-
ment in few humorous remarks, picturing
''the Old Man of the Sea" walking up and do u
the former site of the pestiferous stream watch
ing for the bursting of the sewer, which event
the speaker predicted would not occur during
the lives of any of those present.
Messrs. Ed. johnson, Converse, Curry, and
others made remarks, and at q late hour the

REMOVAL OF THE OLD RAILROAD BRIDGE
Across THE POTOMAC.-The Baltimore and
Potomac railroad company last week set force
OF some twenty men at work to take down the
old railroad bridge across the Potomac south of
the new Long bridge, and the portion of that
bers are found to be considerably decayed, and
II Is matter OF surprise that il has stood the
wear and tear of travel so long without any
accident occurring. The iron used in its con-
etructon Is valuable, and will 60 TO pay the

Platform cars are run down the old track and
loaded with the debris and pushed to this side of
the river where IL is piled mp, and in q few DAYS
nothing will be left of the old structure.
