\ CHOK ED SEWER.
Let it be Opened at Once.

For three or four weeks past the cellar
of d. NJ. MOOre's Swan hotel, corner of
South Queen and Vine streets, has been
gradually filling with water, and it was
supposed some one of the small springs
in the neighborhood was the cause of it.
Yesterday afternoon, Joseph Wacker, the
owner of the property. procured the ser
vices of the Shiffler steam fire engine to
pump the water out and run it into the
Vine street sewer. The hose wH placed
into the mouth Of the inlet in
front of the hotel, and the engine
was put in motion. In very
short time the inlet filled up and over
flowed. The firemen attempted to open
it, but it was found to be so tightly
choked up that they could not do so.
They then run their line Of hose across
the street to another inlet and soon sue

filling up, and there is no doubt the diff
Guilty is owing to the chOked inlet which
prevents the water from the cutters from
passing into the sewer and forces it to
soak through the soft earth until it finds
its way into the cellar. The inlet should
be at once opened and thoroughly cleaned,
and in the meantime the street committee

A Mire in the Highway.

On Saturday evening as Mrs. John Nc
Cram and her daughter were returning to
their home on the Mannheim pike, the horse
stuck in the mud where the new branch
of the Pennsylvania railroad crosses the
turnpike. In his endeavors to extricate
himself he fell down, breaking the shafts
off and compelling the ladies to walk
home. If railroads run at will through
peoples property does the law allow them
to leave the public highways in such a
condition as to endanger peoples lives?

Hoist By His Own Petard.

Whitelaw Reid is considerably cXer-
cised over the publication of Il tele-
graphic letter sent by him from New
York to Washington on March -, the
purpose of which was to buldoZe Gar
field into standing firm on Robertson's s
confirmation, and in the details of
whicl, he INDUCED in severe personal
reflections on Senator Platt, Postmaster
General James and State Senator Baker.
Forced to admit the genuineness of the
letter, Reid still insists that there was Il
good deal Of - frozen truth = in it, and
his friend John Hay comes somewhat to
his relief 10y avowing that the letter was
sent to and received hy him, and that,
though it was read to Garfield. the dead
president never saw il nor took Il copy of
it that Hay has it at home and no one
ever saw it, consequently the writer who
brought it to light and said Garfield
showed it to him is liar and thief, hav-
ing obtained it surreptiiiously from the
telegraph company.
Now it happens that the Tr;L,,n,e has
its own private wire to Washington ,and
as this message was likely transmitted
over this, its search for the culprit
should not necessarily have to cover Il
very wide field; and the Western Union
company, whose chief owner has also
been chief controller of the Tr;Junc, is
exculpated. But the significant feature
of this affair is the high moral tone
which the Tribune assumes in discoursing
OF the = thief who got and published
the telegram. 1t has been only il few years
since the Tribune published and made
great capital out of what it alleged were
cipher kilograms duplicating Mr.. Til
den'S friends in attempts to secure cleo
toral votes 10y improper means. Those
dispatches, if genuine, were stolen or
obtained in some equally discreditable
manner. Yet the Tribune most loftily
applauded its performance, and its editor
is entitled to no consideration when he
finds himself hoist by his own petard.
