Wire Traps.

In order 10 prevent the washings from
Market and side streets that now down
Market tueet from enjoying into the
Chrisliana, Messrs. Charles Warner Il
Co, have had placed in the mouth of the
sewer wire trap. This trap prevents
all mud and washngs from emptying in
to the creek, but the water passes
through. BY this means the firm are
saving themselves the expense of having
the space In front of their wharf dredged
every wear, otherwise if the trap had not
have been placed in the sewer all the
dirt would empty into the creek, and
naturally form bar.
Yesterday the firm opened the trap
and removed about four hundred cubic
feet Of dirt that had collected in the
sewer.
Mr.. Warner is of the opinion that if
the city would place similar raps at the
mouth of each sewer that empties into
the creek, it would in great measure
prevent bars from being formed in the
channel. The expense would not
amount to much, taking into considera-
ticn the advantages that would accrue
from such an action.
The refuse matter from the sewer was
hauled away by Jacob Brown who will
turn it INTO compost. and he thinks that
should thereby place traps in alsthe
Sc wers, that the dirt which would collect
could be sold, aud the traps more than
pay for themselve, in short time.
Similar traps t. tina. used by Messrs.
Warner are used by the city of Balti-
more, and it IS deriving quite revenue

A GARFIELD GUN SPIKED.
EFFECT OF GEN. HANCOCK'S LET

EFFECT OF GEN. HANCOCK'S LET
TER ON REBEL WAR CLAIMS.
PROVIDENCE, Sept. 26.-Gen.
Hancock's letter on rebel war claims
has created quite breeze here and
made hosts OF friends for him. Thus
far the daily newspapers have failed
to comment upon the letter, although
the organ of the Ring published it
in full under the heading of "That
Bugbear, Southern War Claims-An
Extraordinary and Important Letter
from Gen. Hancock" On the streets
and in political circles the letter has
been freely discussed, the general
verdict being that the rebel war
claims gun has been effectually spik-
ed. Last night a meeting of the
First Ward Garfield and Arthur
Club was held, and despite that
strong speakers were announced
only fifty of the residents the ward
put in an appearance. A week ago
meeting of the Seventh Ward Gar
field and Arthur Club was held, at
which less than half hundred peo-
pie were present.
WAsHIN TON, Sept, 26.-Two can
vases of Indiana have recently been
made. Agents of the Cincinnati En-
quirer report, after thorough investiga-
ton, a Democratic majority Of about
1900. The Democratic State Commit
tee has not yet finally compile ed Its car
vass, but the figures already received
generally agree with those obtained by
the Enquirer's agents. Not the slight
est doubt Of the election Of Landers by
a handsome majority is entertained by
the Democratic National and Congress
siOnal Committees. Meantime the a.
tive work of the Democrats in Ohio hs s
alarmed the Republicans and they are
on the run. Deacon Richard Smith, the
truly good, has sounded the danger sig
nal in the Cincinnati Gazette, and the
Clans of Ohio ofiiceholders are running
madly homeward 10 Garfield's assist
ance. A letter received here from
prominent Republican editor in Ohio
says that he does not by any means con-
slider the State safe for Garfield. He
avows that unless the Republicans seek
for votes in every nook, Granny, and cor
ner of the State, Ohio will surprise the
Republicans in October as badly as
Maine did in September.

SOUND VICE, THOUGH
TARDY.

A nod is as good as wink to the
blind mule, and while our earnest Re-
publican contemporary, the Times,
names no names in It's editorial eader
of yesterday,i 1t soberly warns the Rad
ical leaders that their plan of campaign
is dismal blunder and failure. 1t
says:
"lf we have occasion at all tim s to
deplore that our public men are politi-
clans rather than statesmen, VIC have
special cause for regret on this account
during an active political canvass
Then more than everare they disposed
to take narrow view of the perpetual
contest between parties; to appeal to
prejudices and fears rather than to ra-
tional convictions; to excite the pas
sions rather than persuade the intel
lect. t
The bearings of these observations
may be very accurately determined
when studied in conjunction with the
recent eclipse of Radicalism in Maine.
Proceeding in the same solemn and
slightly Delphic strain, the Times
notes that ''the considerations at pres
ent involved in our politics are some
what mixed;" and that the decisive
factor in November will be the vote of
intelligent, thoughtful men who are
not rabid partisans, but who are actu-
ally repelled by partisan "rant." The
article closes with the subjoIned palpa-
ble hit at he coercive machine meth
DDS of Blaine and Conkling'
cat sundry times and in divers pla-
ces in our politics there has been alto
gether too much management, and the
result has been revolt and demoraliza-
ton instead of effectiveness.
These be pungent quids for theRad
ical "managers" to masticate; but the
medicine comes too late TO save them.
They will adhere to their rant and fus-
tian, for they are gone too far to re-
treat.

1t seems that the notorious John i.
Davenport, widely known as the inven-
TOR of the iron cage for voters in 1878
made last Wednesday visit to Indiana
polls and had long conference with
United States Marshal Dudley, who is
The work horse of the Republican cam
paign in IndiaI a.
What Dudley learned from Davenport
no one knows but he had better think
twice before he attempts to put in prac-
tIce the lessons of his master. The Demo-
Gratis of Indiana are on their guard and
they are not disposed to let themselves
be disciplined as the voters OF New York
did when aiken by surprise. To use the
language of one of our correspondent,
"The election will be free, or there will
be trouble at the polls"

A CURIOUS TELEGRAPH BLUM
DER.

Probably the worst telegraphic blum
some. time ago in a telegram received by
a st. Louis merchant while in New
York. A dispatch came informing him
of the illDess of his wife i'm st. Louis.
He sent a message to his family doctor,
asking the nature of the sickness and If
there was any danger, aud received
promptly the answer: "No danger.
Your wife has had child. If we can
keep her from having another tonight
she will do WE'LL" The mystification of
the agitated hubbard was not remove d
until second inquiry revealed the fact
that the indisposcd lady had had a
