THE REFORMAToRY SEWER.
City Engineer Shearer Objects to the Pro-
posed Line, and Makes a Suggestion.

City Engineer Shearer has entered q vigorous
protest against the House Reformatory sewer
bill, alleging that it is mpracticabe and not for
the best interests of either the State OF city.
The proposed sewer will run from Washington
on New Jersey to Market, and thence east to
Pogues run, distance of 1850 feet. The In
terna diameter is to be thirty inches. Mr..
Shearer has m ade an accurate survey of the
route, and finds that in order to be selfcleaning
it will be necessary to give the sewer a gradi-
ent OF three feet in 1000. This will bring the
top of the outlet four and one half feet above the
bed Of Pogue's run, thus necessitating dam in
the run at that height.
Instead OF the proposed route he suggests an
extension Of the Washington-street sewer from
the intersection of New Jersey street directly
east on Washington to the run, distance of but
1,2O0 feet. The gradient required will be but
one in 1000 feet, and the internal diameter
seven aud half feet. An approximation of the
cost is $780, IN the former and $4,000 in the
latter case. According to the provisions of the
bill the sewer repairs to be done by the State,
but ii the route proposed by Mr.. Shearer were
adopted the city would bear all expenses Incl
dent to its malnten 1t is estimated that
the annual expense of repairs and maintenance
will be $1,000, which would offset to the
State the difference in cost of the two sewers.
Mr.. Shearer thinks that the route proposed by
him Will furnish every advantage to the city,
and will entail in the long run a much less ex-
pense upon the State.

A BRILLIANT SCHEME.
The Vincennes Lottery People Accused of
Intending to Garry on the Policy
Business.

1t has been rumored that the Vincennes lot
journment of the Legislature, and simultaneous
ly an appeal will be made from the State to the
United States Supreme Court. 1t is said that the
management has no hope of ultimate success,
but will adopt this method for the purpose of Sc
curing an extension of time for continuing the
business. gentleman claiming to know said
that the main Office in this city has not been re-
linquished, but merely that the effects liable TO
be disturbed by police raid have been removed
TO some other place. The intention
OF reslming business has been kept
very quiet, evidently to avoid the enactment Of
laws that would forever prevent resumption
under any circumstances. He also said that the
sale of tickets in other policy shops had been dis
continued in order to make it appear that the
business had been abandoned, and that the pros
ecutlons OF John Woodard had resulted from his
persstlng in selling when orders from headquar-
vers forbid 1t. Inves tigatiOn disclosed the fact
that rent for the main Office of the Vincennes
company has been paid up TO May l, 1885, and
the rooms are still in possession of the manage
ment.
The lottery people evidently base their hopes
or success upon the clause of the constitu-
tion which forbids State to enact
any law which invalidates the obliga
contract made with the Vncennes University,
under Its charter, is valid. The opponents OF
the lottery rest their case upon decision of the
United States Court in the louisiana case, in
which II is held that State has the police right
TO lnVaildate a contract which is contrary to
good morals
Prosecutor Brown expresses himself decidedly
to the effect that dealers will be prosecuted for
every sale OF ticket, and that the Supreme
Court has decided that a law cannot be violated
with lmpunity pending the result of an appeal.

AMUSEMENTS.

PARK THEATER-"THE HONEYMOON"
Mrs. Langtry appeared as Julianna, in the de-
lightful comedy of 1.-THE Honeymoon" at the
Park Theater last night to another fine audi
ence, and the performance was generally re-
garded as a much more pleasing one than that
of the previous evening Mrs Langtry has
doubted powers as a comedienne, which, how
ever need cultivation. Her Julianna is grace
fully conceived and cleverly presented in
its main features, although the principal criti-
cisms OF her Rosalind are equally pertinent to
this. 1t is to be regretted that the opportunity
has not been afforded to see
her in other of the old Eng
lish comedies for she appears to
especial advantage In that line of dramatic COM
position. The support afforded by the company
was in the main creditable. Mrs. Langtry's en-
gagementt here has been an advent in theatrical
and social circles, and her future professional
career will be watched with interest.

formance will be tnat of "As You Like It," with
Nine. Modjeska as Rosalind, and much interest
attaches to this, as it will be the first time she
has played The part here Tomorrow night she
Will be seen IN SardOu'S "Odette," to be followed
by Camille at the matinee, and 'Tweifth
