I ing to specifications but were, nevertheless,
accepted by the Surveyor, the authority Of the
Administra tor of improvements, who objected
to the manner in which the work was done,

DR.. Chopin, President of the Board OF
Heath, has secured an Injunction from the
Fifth Dissri ct Court restraining the Water
Works Company from breaking ground to com.
mence laying new pipes on st. Thomas street
between Richard and Market, and at the cor.
ner of New Levee and Calliope. Under it's
charter the Water Works Company was bound
to commence the work before October 1st.
DR.. Choppin's action is based on his bslief
that troubling the soil during the prevalence
of the fever would prove very dangerous to the
health of the city.
Little has been said in the kilograms in
praise of young DR.. Veazie who has rendered
suoh distip guished services at Grenada, Miss,
and who is now in Lat adieville where the
fever is raging. This is due, probably, to the
Doctors modesty, which prevented him from
cultivatiug newspaper men and telegraph
agents. There are those in this city, however,
who have watched his self-sacrificipg course
with admiration and who feel sure that in Il 0
end his splendid services will be as highly
appreciated in this, his native city, as they
must be in the plague stricken to WINS in which
he has labored.
