The following communication in regard
to the Mclean avenue sewer was read:
august llth, 1879.
"a, L. Anderson, Esq, Chief Engineer:
"ln regard TO the destroyed fume at the
present outlet of the Mclean avenue sewer,
l think that sheet piling should be
driven along the foot of the south
slope and the piling then protected
by stone. This should be begun
to-day by the repairing gang of this depart
ment The engineer should be given power
to bring materials and increase the force if
necessary. l think two thousand feet of
lumber and one hundred perches of stone
would do this. Already the top Of the
slope reaches the northwest corner of the
turner shop, and the action of the water is
| fast wearing away the foot of the slope. If
this action is not Immediately checked
the building will be destroyed. The dam
aged fiume should be restored as quickly as
possible before another rain. | think this
work will cost about 81 300 1t seems to be
generally admitted now that the present
contract for the extension of the Mclean
avenue sewer can not be completed this
year, and from causes beyond
the control of the city au-
thorities the work may be indefinitely
prolonged. Therefore new fume of such
character as may last several years should
be planned, contracted for and finished
this year. The construction of the proposed
flume would also greatly simplify the build
ing of the sewer. The closing OF the break
at the new flume would be comparatively
simple work. WIN. II. BoEH
Assistant Engineer.
"The above report is approved except as
to the repair Of the present fume. I
would recommend that as soon as possible
the proposed fume be commenced, and
that steps be Immediately taken for letting
the work for the completion of the main
sewer between the points A and B.
"a. L. ANDERSON,
~, "Chief Engineer"
The matter was referred to the Engineer,
and he was authorized to expend sum not
exceeding 5000, to make repairs to protect
the property in danger Of being destroyed.

messed by large crowd of people at Lion

A balloonist, whose custom it is to ascend
every Sunday evening for the diversion of
the gardens patrons, had reached height
of about two hundred yards, when the bal
loon, hot-air canvas affair, burst
across the top, and began to descend
with amazing rapidity, the aero
raut dangling all the time from the
basket, and at length striking upon the
ground with terrible force, but, strange to
say, he was not killed. He was picked up
and carried into the garden. All that
could be was done to relieve him. He is

NARRAGANsETT PIER, r. l., Aug. 1.-The
summer residents of this fashionable water
ing-p ace are in aquiverof excitement over
the alleged tstic encounter between Sena-
tor Roscoe Conkling, of New York, and Ex-
Governor Sprague, of this State How
much truth there is in the report it is very
difficult to ascertain. AS far as it is posi-
BILE to learn, the story is as follows: Gov.
ernor Sprague and family occupy an ele-
CANT summer mansion at Narragansett Pier
Il is season, as in years past Here it ap-
pears Senator Conkling has been stopping
some days, it is said without Sprague's S
knowledge or consent. On Sprague's re-
turn, it is alleged, he intimated that he had
seen all lie cared for of the New York Sena-
tor who then departed. Subsequently, it
is reported, they met again at Billingston's
Cafe.
Conkling was in the cafe eating Little
Neck clans when Sprague came down the
l,ier and saw him. 1t is said that he became
very angry and rushed at him exclaiming:
Let me get at the damned scoundrel." :"
Conkling bristled up and was ready to meet
his assailant, and there would undoubtedly
have been little bloodshed if the bystan-
ders and friends had not interfered.
There is also strong current about
Sprague attempting TO shoot his children s
French tutor on grounds OF jealousy, but
the rumors are hard to verify.
New I0RK, Aug. 9-Senator Roscoe
Conklins is at the Fifth avenue Hotel. He
refuses TO see reporters. At an early hour
he was joined by Mr. A. B. Cornell, and
after breakfast both wentout together.
