SAM JONES efforts in st. Louis are
attracting wide attention, and inn
mense crowds are fiocking to hear
him. The Globe-Democrat is pub
fishing very full reports, and is other
wise treating the great evangelist
with distinction. Its comments upon
his sermons are characterized by
great acumen as well as by thor
ough understanding of the reach and
grasp of the man. Certainly he has
grown up to be a wonderful power in
this land. Let every good and pstri-
otto man and woman pray that his
mission may be blestto the improve
ment of the people, He will have to be
strong man, indeed, if all this adula-
ton does not turn his head. Sam
Jones is undoubtedly very great
man. We shall watch his future ca
reer with much anxious interest.

Action Taken By The City MiIt. tary Companies Regarding General Grants Funeral-The Light Guards Excursion To-Day.
 The New Haven Grays held meeting il their parlor last evening and voted to attend the funeral of General Grant, provided the regiment attends. r-
 The City Guards held 8 meeting and de cided to attend the funeral with the regi ment. All of the city companies of the reg. iment have now decided to attend.
 The Light Guards and the members of the Arctic Coterie Benefit association go on an excursion to Glen Island via steamer John H. Starin, leaving Starin's wharf at 8:30 this morning; Stevens will prompt and the Thomas orchestra will furnish music for dancing
 The members of the guards regret the un- timely death of Member Reynolds, whose sickness and death has occurred since the date was announced for the excursion, dur ing which time many excursion tickets have been sold. A delegation of the guards with Lieutenant Walker will remain in the city to attend the funeral of young Reynolds this afternoon.
 The expense per man if the Second goes to New York for transportation will be $2 Prominent friends of the regiment are advo- eating that this expense be borne by private subscription and think that $1 ,006 at least could be raised toward this amount They urge that many men in the regiment do not feel as if they could afford the expense, as they have been out of work or lost many days this year already.

They order Sewers To Be Built a Year or Two Hence-The Unsanitary Con- dftiOn of Bay Street.
 The Committee on Sewers held meeting in room No. 10 last evening to hear parties interested>in petitions for sewers. Alder
 man Kennedy presided.
 The first considered was g petition for a sewer in Liberty street, between Congress avenue and Silver street. There were five parties who appeared in favor and large
 number opposed it. It was voted to recom-
 mend that the petition be granted. The next heard was petition for a sewer 1 in Gregory street, between Dixwen avenue
 and Ashmun street Only one person ap-
 peared in favor and two or three against it. It was voted to recommend that the petition be referred to the next Court of Common Council.
 The petition for sewer in Palmer street, from Rose to Broad street, was next consid- l cred. There had been previous hearing on this petition. The same parties were again heard and they differed in their opinions the same as before. It was voted to recommend that the sewer be built, to be completed Au- gust 1, 1886.
 The next petition heard was that for a 5CWOi Ol1 Lay SCiOOo, bCoWeCA ShopOA' diiNA Martin streets. There were few in favor
 and large number opposed to the sewer. When the consideration of this petition was reached by the committee in executive ses- sion, it was stated that some portions of Day street were in very bad condition in sani- tary point of view, and that the attention of
 the Board of Health should be called to it. Among other things mentioned were two houses that had no cesspools whatever, and the refuse of the kitchen was thrown upon the surface. At another place was an un- used we'll, the water of which was covered with green scum and very offensive odor came from it. The inmates of the houses where there were no cesspoolsHwere nearly all sick. The committee by vote instructed the chairman to call the attention of the Board of Health to the matter, and then voted to recommend that the sewer be built two years hence.
