Of robbery with violence is exercising

their victims from single humble pro-

or omnibus conductor seems suitable

IN the selection. Late at night he IS car

His business takes him into all kinds OF
lonely neighborhoods and, when he

DRUMMERs IN FOR A BIG TIME.
The Members of Post D. at the Augusta
Exposition.

Tbirty-two drummers loft for the Au-
gusta exposition yesterday. Twenty of
them went in the morning and the rest of
them left last night. They were in high
spirits and were confident of having big
time to-day.
A message was last night received from
Secretary Robinson, who arrived in Au-
gusta at noon, saying that meeting Of the
different posts is to be held this morning
at o'clock. The parade will begin an hour
later.
Nose Lilienthal. who left last night, said
that there would be at least forty members
of Post d present to-day. Those members
who did not 60 up yesterday were out on
the road aud will meet the post to-day.
Some very important measures will be-
taken up and adopted during the stay Of
members at the exposition, one of which
will be TO organize state Travellers Protect
i've Association, which will necessitate the
Posts withdrawal from the national associa-
ton. They think by doing this that their
membership will be increased, and a greater
interest viii be manifested in the association.
1t is understood that over thirty-five com
mercial men in the city, and many more in
the country towns will become active
members should state organization be eff
fected. The action of the posts with refer

City's Drainage system.
There is 10 longer a doubt that the work
of providing system of house drainage will
be commenced this winter, the question that
we are Ito have a system" having been de-
cided by the council some tins since. City
Surveyor Col. VIM has had two surveying
corps in the streets getting the grades. This
work has been delayed somewhat by the
late severe spell of weather, but it will
be done this week. AS soon as
these surveys are completed, the city sur
veyor will submit his report to the special
committee. 1t is understood that the
surveying parties have discovered consid-
cradle discrepancies in street lines and
levels as set forth in current maps and
even in a special survey, made expressly for
the purpose of ascertaining drainage grades,
a big mistake was found. The present
surveys are being very carefully made by
engineers who have had thorough training
in city drainage work, and will doubtless
be accurate in every particular. The pub
lie is anxiousiy waiting for the fiat of the
committee to begin the important work of
building system of house drainage.

THE BRoUaHToN STREET SEWER.
Ought 1t Not to Be Provided with Man.
holes?

ought 1t Not to Be Provided with Man.
holes?
Editor Morning Ne,Os: I notice by your
paper this morning that tire work is about
to commence to asphalt Broughton street.
Do the authorities propose to bottle up
Broughton street sewer entirely, making no
provision by leaving manholes every 600
feet or any ventilators INTO the streets for
the purpose of carrying of the sewer CAST
When this sewer was built msnholes we're
left at intervals and covered up with plank.
/, These should now be built up to the surface
of the street and covered with cireu-
lar iron caps, arranging in some
way that the sewer could be venti-
having access to them. Some years ago 1
had thesa boles uncovered for the purpose
Of examining thiJ sewer and seeing what
the effect was upon it of the overflow flush
pipe from the " ater works tower. One was
opposite the Marshall house. The sewer
was found in good condition, and water
coming through it. 1 doubt whether this
sewer has beeI examined since. That was
about ten years ago. When this sewer was
built it was not intended for house drain
age, consequently ventilation was not SO
important. Now tina question is: Shall
we place. ventilators i'll the streets
or let the sewer gas go into
our houses, as it certainly villa The air be-
ing warmer and more rarified, the sewer
gas will ascend, like the iue of a chimney,
upward through the connections and water
traps into our houses. II there is no venti-
lation into the street, if there are no man
holes, no man can go safely into this sewer
to clean it out or examine it without being
poisoned with sewer gas. 1t seems to nae
now iIsthe time to attend to this matter, and
not have to tear up the street at some future
time to do it. K. ID. GUERARD.
