Most newspaper readers have read OF
the immense sewers in Paris and Lon

that have traversed them. There is
building in Washington sewer which
is larger BY seven feet than any other
sewer in the world In its smallest
part it is larger than the largest of the
sewers in Paris. For over 1900 feet it
is circular sewer of twenty-five feet in
diameter. There 10 connected with it a
sewer 5000 feet or nearly one mile in
length. of twenty feet in diameter. In
the sewers of Paris teams OF horses are
employed to drag the boats that are
used to clean them out. A fully
equipped train. locomotive and all.
could be run through the sewer at
Washington if il were necessary with
out the slightest difficulty. This
enormous sewer, is being run under
boundary street, the street that divides
the city from the County of Washing

Yesterday morning as the 9:4S train, on

dressed man. of probably fOrty-tive years of
age, got on the platform of one of the cars
with the intention of riding UP To the Ohio
southern round house. At Linden avenue,
seeing that the train was increasing its
speed 81 rapidly that by the time it reached
the round house it would be impossible for
him Ia get off. he decided to jump. Just as
his feet left the platform the steps struck
him on the leg below the knee and
threw him across the track. The wheels
passed over his two legs. completely sever

other 50 badly that amputatiOn was after

by the crowd which soon assembled and
taken into a house Ia await the arrival of

thoroughly examined by the surgeons. As
before stated. it was found necessary 10 am
putate the badly mashed leg a short distance
above the knee. and the other just above
the ankle. Severe internal injuries were
found To have been received by the man,
and many more or less Seri0ue bruises and
cuts about the arms and back. He was
taken over to Singers boarding house, cor
Of Washington and Market streets, and
placed under the influence of GnTSthetcS.
The doctors were rather doubtful at the
time Of his recovery, As it seemed almost
impossible that one who was 80 badly in
