Bowen Avenue Sewer.

To the Editor Of The Chicago Tribune.
CHICAGO, Dec. a-The property on Bowen av-
enuc has paid a heavy assessment for brick
md tllo sewer. The ordinauceprovides for best
Akron sewer-pipe. The contractor commenced
to lay the above kind of pipe, but has changed,
and IS now laying u very inferior pipe, and. he
says, by permission OF tho engineer IN charge.
How kind the engineer can be to the contractor
when the money comes ont of the taxpayer!
Isuggest that the propeEtyholders call 8 meet
ing at once to sce that they get what they have
paid for, and get an engineer who will represent
the interests thar pay him.

Special Dispatch to Tx CHICAGO Tribune.
WASH1SGToS, b. C., Dec 3-Thc law requires
six Justices Of the Supreme Court to make 4
quorum The death Of Justice Clifford, the ab-
sence OF Field In Europe, and tho iucapacity OF
Hunt just leave quorum for the transaction OF
business. Recently a Western railroad case
came up in which Matthews had been retained
us counsel previous to his going on the bench.
This, In accordance with the rules OF the court,
would have left the court without quorum.
Judge Hunt. who Is incapacitated for work OF
any kind was brought up to the conference
room, and the Chief Justice announced the de-
cision OF the court lis not having been partici-
pated in By Mr. Justice Matthews, but concurred
in by Mr. Justice Hunt, tl..,s retaining Il quo

members Of tho bar as to whether HI invalid

ference room can give an opinion Justice
Hunt had nor henrd any OF the arguments. hud
not appeared in court and was not on the bench
when the opinion WAS delivered.

to ,si Mr. Errett whether he meat by that that
he should bolt the caucus If they should not

for passing it at this session. He
stated that the bill would be amend

of old cases to the new Court, where
offences were committed within the
territory covered by the new Court.
The bill will then 60 back to the
House, and Gen. King will endeayor
to pass it under a suspension of the
rules. Senator Kellogg stated the
other day that Senator Edmunds, Of
Vermont, wanted the bill to go over
until next session, so that the Judge
could be appointed under the new
Administration. But he viii not
very strongly oppose it, however, as
he has been convinced of the neces-
