 The St. Johns Episcopal church asked for relief from sewer assessments on the ground that the sewer was not used by the church. Mrs. Margaret Oollopy said that on the 27th of January she was passing along Put nam street near Liberty, when she fell on the icy pavement and broke her arm. Sev- era1 witnesses testified in regard to the affair The testimony went to show that a Mrs. Weaver owned the property on the corner. MT. Emil Schonberger stated that on the 9th of June by reason of a hole in the street on State street his horse caught his hoof and fell, throwing him out of the buggy, iniur- ing himself and horse. He thought $25 would cover the damages
 Mrs. Harriet Whittemore appeared and asked for abatement of sewer assessment on Lynwood street. She said her husband had been out of health for long time and the cutting through of Lynwood street had caused her a great deal of trouble. T. Mettler Cox asked for an abatement of sewer assessment on the corner of St. John and Franklin street. He said that the sewer street, and on the ground that he had con. nected his houses on Franklin street with the St. John street sewer and the Franklin street sewer was of no use to him. The petition of David Strouse and thirty others against the assessment for what MT. Strouse called stemporary'' pavement on Congress avenue WAS next heard. He ob- ject ed to the assessment because it was only temporary affair. MT. Strouses argument was that the pavement would ultimately have to be relaid and then property holders would again be assessed.
 Thomas Colwell said that street pavements of a similar character had been laid in other parts of the city without assessment, and mentioned State street beyond Neck bridge.
 George J. Faulhaber said that the pavement between Daggett street and Bond street was simply a hardening and was never intended to be assessed. When a sewer is laid the pavement would, in his opinion, have to be relaid and then an ad- ditional assessment would be required.
 Several other parties expressed similar opinions to those of MT. -Strouse and Mir. FaulhRber.
 David o. Twitchell, corner of Lamberton and Button streets, claimed damages for an overflow of water occasioned by the grade of the streets He said that his yards and cell lars had been flooded by the overflow. The petitioner did not answer satisfactorily why sewer had been opposed in that vicinity he said he would favor it.
 William H. Kenyon asked for the refund ing of portion of assessment for sewer on Canal street, which had been transferred from other parties to him.
 The committee voted to adjourn until next Monday evening when they will hold an ex- ecutive session.

BOSTON, Sept. 12.-Justice Allen to-day was asked to grant writ of habeas corpus on the petition of James J. Cochrane, direct ing John Sullivan, of Charlestown, to produce in court his sister, Mrs. James J. Cechrane. Annie V. Sullivan, eighteen years of age, re- siding in Charlestown. refused to go to con- vent at Lowell in compliance with the wishes of her parents, saying that she would rather lead life of shame than go to boarding school.

She proposed marriage as a way out of her troubles. This was agreed to and the mar riage took place Monday, both parties repre- senting themselves as residents of Somer- vile, which it is claimed was legal pro- ceeding, as they intended to live there: Cochrane was arrested without a warrant, taken to SomerYille and accused of having procured a marriage license under false pre- tences.
