Enough mattresses were finished last
evening by Col. Taylor's force on Ohio
levee, to reach from Eighth to the Tenth
street. sewer. These will be dumped over
into the water and then weighed down
with rock The Tenth street sewer is pro-
tected by rock revetment which is a mag.
nifcent piece of work and presents a most
formidable appearance. The revetment ex-
tends from the waters edge clear to the
top of the levee and completely covers the
sewer outlet beyond the manhole, and also
hides nearly all but the wooden cover of
the latter. The Tenth street sewer is a job
of which the city may we'll be proud.
The trouble on the Texas & st. Louis
road seems to have been settled. Trains
came and went yesterday, though, Of course,
not on time, as they were delayed at nearly
every station by railroaders who were not
posted as TO the exact state of affairs. For
how long distance traffic was resumed
could not be learned here yesterday. The
understanding arrived at Saturday and un-
der which the engineers resumed their regu
lar duties, was, that the company should
pay for September Immediately and for
October within five days thereafter. The
five days will expire tomorrow, when the
payment must either be made or traffic
will again cease. The representatives of
the road here are very reticent in speaking
of the state of things on the road, and no
details as to prospects can be obtained. 1t
will doubtless be some days before the
business of the road will move along
smoothly.
Monroe Purcell, who escaped about a
year ago from the Anna Asylum, to where
he had been sent from here for insanity,
was arrested yesterday by Chief Myers, be-
cause his malady again gave evidence Of
violence. He lived here during the year
with his mother and behaved quite well.
He has for some weeks been employed in
the Singer works, working steadily and
well. But Sunday he threatened to kill
his mother without any provocation, and just
before this he had behaved in an unusual
manner among his fellow workmen at the
factory, who were nearly all afraid of him.
The chief was notified yesterday morning,
| and he went to arrest Purcell with view to
sending him back to the asylum. When
| the officer arrived he found Purcell had
taken refuge in the boiler room, where
axes, crowbars, etc, lay about in a handy
manner and he had terrorized the men 80
that none would go near him. The officer
tried to coax Monroe out of the room, but
to no purpose, and he saw that force must
be employed, With the assistance of En-
gineer Mcknight, of the box factory, he
succeeded, after struggle, in putting
handouts upon the prisoner and placing
him in his buggy. Arrived at the court
house both alighted to enter the county
Jail, when Purcell suddenly broke away
and ran down Washington avenue to Sew.
entccnth street and out this toward Miss
issippi levee. Everybody got out of his
way, and the officer ran him down and re-
captured him in the vicinity of the Library
grounds, and succeeded this time in land
ing him safely in Jail. Being an escaped
patient Purcell will probably be taken
back to the asylum without any action of
the county court
