City Of Chicago and the White-Stocking
Baseball Club to get possession of the tract
Of land containing 319 acres along the lake
shore. part of which is occupied by the
White Stocking Baseball Club. Valentines

made lit the bill are BY no means novel.

THE CITY GOVERNMENT.
That Sinking Cana1-Fullerton
Avenue Conduit.
Sexton Gives His Interpretation
OF the Iron Contract,
Another Canal Meeting-Bridges and Via
ducts Wanted.


Complaint was made again the other day
By the citizens Of Joliet that the smell from
the water OF the,canal as it tunlbled over the
dam there was as offensive as it was last
year, when the subject was brought before
the Board Of Canal Commissioners. Desir-
Gus Of Investigating the cause of this new
outbreak Of the old trouble, reporter called
at the City-lIall yesterday to find out
whether the Fullerton avenue pumps were
still running, thinking tint, possibly, they
might not be til operation, and that the
trouble might be due to that.
lie learned, however, that the pumps had
been running continuously for weeks
back, stoppagcs being made now and
heL,-not more than one day
i'll seyell-for repairs and changes in the Ell
sine. Water is being forced from the river
into the lake at the rate Of 5000 or II, COO Gu
bic feet a minute, and does not show In the
lake, though, as Il city cmp]Oye said, "there
is terrible odor at the Fullerton avenue
crib"
1t is evident, therefore. that the complaint
is due to the winter. The canal is or las
been covered with ice. The capacity of the
canal is necessarily reduced by the thickness
Of the ice, and, in addition to that, the process
OF oxidation IS very imperfect, no water be-
l ing able to reacl, the sewage on, its way
Joliet. Therefore, as the stuff falls
over the dan, there it lis the
corrupt and putrid quintescence of rotte u
ness, anu IS naturally exceedingly offensive.
Were the ice all out of the canal the trouble
would probably be removed in q few days.

almost universally pay a higher

ter just made public. 1t seems
that while in BOLIVIA he made
two drafts on the Treasury De-
partmcnt, one payable April 1,
and the other July I, 1880,
each for $3.50. 1t also seems
that he had drawn entire salary
ahead of time, and that the
drafts were promptly protested
on that account when presented
at Washington. upon his re-
turn from Bolivia Pettis inveigh-
ed loudly against the irnmor-

credulous banker who cashed
his drafts now has sometime TO
say about the immortality of
Pettis. He should get off the
stump long enough to write a

AUSTIN, Sept. 18th, 1880
This is school for the Blind.
Persons with sore eyes are not
admitted for treatment. This
is neither a hospital nor an asy-
lum. If a boy or girl is admit
ted into this institution, it must
be for the express purpose of
attending school. After admis-
sion for that purpose, the SUI
perintendent has the State Oc-
ulist to examine their eyes, and
benefit them, if possible. No
blind persons are allowed to re-
main at the Institution after
their education is finished.
The pupils all go home during
the summer vacation. No
blind persons over twenty-four
years of age will be admitted.
A parent, County Judge, or
friend applying for the admis-
sion Of a blind person, must
write to the Superintendent and
send a certificate from some
responsible person stating that
the persons name -,
age--, and is of sound
mind and good character. The
session begins September the
fifteenth every year, and ends
June IS. Pupils admitted at
any time. Every thing here is
free of charge-Board, Wash
ing, tuition, books, instruments,
doctors bills, etc. The Insti-
tuition will not promise to pay
for clothing or travelling expen-
SEES. When the blind boys or
girls are too poor TO clothe
themselves, orpay travelling ex-
penses, the County if applied
to, will always kindly appropri-
ate twenty-five or thirty dollars
year for each ones clothing;
and the neighbors will always
make up a purse TO pay the
small expense to Austin. We
like for children to be sent here
when they are very young
even at the ages sof seven or
eight-for they then take a
good start, learn rapidly, and,
after the first week, never suffer
with inconsistencies" and then
we learn to love them early,
and are better able to correct
any faults of habit or manner
while they are small.

The republican grccnback
managem ent in Travis county
don't care straw for the wish
cs of the colored voter, and have
with the most refreshing cool
ness quietly chuckcd him over
board and now asked him TO
support their their ticket. The
sole object is to get office and
as soon as the colored man has
voted for them they are done
with him. The Austin States
man says the colorcd voters arc
aware Of the use the republican
greenbackers want TO make Of
them and are going TO vote for
the democratic nominees. The
Washington county republican
office holders are in the same
predicamcnt as the Travis coun-
ty republicans. 1t remains to
be seen what amount of back
bone is possessed by the color
ed voters in Washington coun-
ty.
