SuIphurettcd Hydrogen Gas.
AS OIeOching agent Of Sugar
came juice.
Mr.. CETIUS E. JOE,

Vacuum Pan SWgGr Manufacturer,
begs to call the special attention of
Masters and Planting Attorneys of Sugar
Estates to the beneficial improvements of
the above process, for which he is prepaI-
ed to erect on estates, a very scientific and
economical apparatus, the operation OF
which is to destroy the dark dingy colour
in clarified liquor; which is caused by an
excess of inSOluble Lime, and foreign i'm
purities held in solution, which are per,
ceptible in sugars not treated to remove
such effect, both to the taste and smell, and
at times sight. These matters to a great
degree are obstacles to disqualification, and
to the drainage Of (the So,called) molaSSes.
The guaranteed advantages claimed by this
Immediate apparatus are viz:
LIST. Only a few ounces OF Sulphur are
necessary to bleach 6 or 700 gallons Of
liquor, rendering a pure amber cOlOured
semi-tranSparent brightness, which feature
also appears in the sugar made from it.
End. The entire apparatus consists of a
small Pltchpine box or press of 20 inches
square on either side, no sulphur oven re-
quiIed, no pipes required to make FILINGS
and steamjet; the liquor on its passage
through the press acts III place OF a Jet,
while the sulphur is burnt in the same
press at the same time, and the liquor pass
ing absOrbs, and is bleached by an ade-
ouate amount of Sulphuretted Hydrogen
Gas, in its purest state.
The necessity of such an apparatus, will
at once be seen through, from an imurOv-
ing and essential point Of view, and should
never be done without on sugar Estates,
particularly those having Vacuum Pans,
and MuscovadO Sugar Estates having
Agitaters, or Steam Pans. But it is, and
will be found, eqnally necessary to all.

occasion he had a more severe slap
in the face, given in all innocence.

At the conclusion of the entertainment
the president. Mrs. Emily Huntingdon

The park commissioners met yester-'

The city for that purpose, the owners of

the rate of per cent per annum, until
the money is paid, the purchase money
to be divided among the lots according
to their respective value. President
Van Slyke offered resolution that
100000 be set apart by the board for the
purchase of parks on Dayton'S bluff !;
that $45, 600 be used in the purchase of
Lincoln park, and the $4,000 add
tlonal, conditionally on the securing of
property from the brink of the bluff to
the Dillon lands for the price named.
The resolution was adopted. A resolu-
ton was also adopted that Prof. Cleve-
land, the landscape artist, he appointed
to furnish plans for the improvement of
Lincoln park. Mr.. Estabrook pro-
posed plan for the filling
of Lake Como to high water
mark, the water in the lake having re-
ceded to such an extent as to detract
from the beauty of the spot. Mr.. Hen
Erickson said that in his opinion the
recession was due to the fact that the
sewer mains of the city had been ex-
tended TO the vicinity of the lake and
had tapped one of the underground
springs from which the lake derived its
supply, there being neither outlet nor in
let. Also that the tremendous amount
of ice taken from the lake yearly had,
together with evaporation and the other
cause mentioned. caused its depletion.
Mr.. Ludden proposed measure under
which the city council should make
special provision IN yearly amount Tor
the maintenance of the lake at its
proper level. conditional Oh the acquisi-
ton of Lake Como by the park board.

the previous meeting. Mr.. Ludden re-
piled that an arteSian well would be- a
pretty handy thing to have, but that a
good deal of uncertainty must neceSsa-
rily attend such measure. 1t mighgbe
that the time would come when it would
be advisable to eXpend $1,000 in expert
menting in the sinking of an artesfan
well. Commissioners Ludden, Hen

alton to the legislature asking for AN

Considerable excitement prevailed
among residents IN the vicinity of West
Seventh and Richmond streets last
night, caused by the report of sup
posed case of smallpox in their midst
The victim of the dreaded disease is
Andrew Anderson, a laborer, who is
confined at Mrs. Hammerquist's board
ing house at 223 Richmond street, about
two blocks from Seventh street. The
case was reported to the health depart
ment yesterday afternoon by DR.. Sohl-
berg, the attending physician, and an
investigation was promptly instituted
by Assistant Health Commissioner
Hendrickson. With City Physician
Ancker he visited the house and
found the report of DR.. Sohlberg ap
parently verified, Anderson's affiiction-
to all appearances being smallpox. AS
precautionary measure Mrs. Ham,
merquists house and the adjoining
house on either side were at once quar-
antined, and the block on Richmond
street was closed to all travel by
rough board fence, Oh which were
posted big red placards, bearing the
word "Small-Pex.' The eight eccu-

Physician Ancker was seen last night,
and stated that it might possibly not be
a case of the dreaded eruptive disease,
although the victim has all the symp-
toms. He will hold a consultation on
the case this morning, to which the best
physicians of the city will be called,
and, it is hoped, to definitely settle the
nature of the disease.

of Minneapolis, appellant.
This is case for the recovery of the
value of a large quantity of stone
quarried by one Patterson from Thir-
teenth avenue, between Third and
Fifth streets, in the city OF Minneapolis,
and appropriated by Patterson to his
own use. The fee of the land where
the stone in question was quarried was,
with the fee of the adjacent lots, in the
plaintiff and i'll certain other persons
who have assigned to him their causes
of action for the acts complained of.
Syllabus-A city contracting for and
authorizing the quarrying and disposal
of stone from ledge in street, and
below the grade thereof, for unauthor-
TiZed purposes, becomes liable to the
owner of the soil for the.value of the
stone as it lay ill the ledge. When it
becomes reasonably necessary for pur-
poses connected with the use or inG-
provement of the street, or for the en-
joyment of the public easement therein
to have earth or rock eX-
cayated and removed therefrom, and
where it is impracticable to commit
to the owners of the soil the
work of excavation and removal, the
public authorities may do this, unem-
barrassed by claims of private ow ner-
snip, and may dispose OF the material
which they are required to remove,
without accountability to the owners OF
the soil. This is properly incident to
the public easement.
A city, for the sole purpose of secur-
ing the construction of sewer on
street, entered into contract with a
person to the effect that he should take
out the stone the whole width of the
street and several feet in depth below
the grade, construct the sewer and refill
the street to the original grade. As
compensation for the construction of
the sewer the contractor was to have
the stone so removed.
Held, that as much of the stone as it
was reasonably necessary to remove for
the construction of the sewer the owner
of the soil had no cause of action. The
city had no right to thus appropriate to
the payment of the contractor the stone
which it was not necessary to remove
for reconstruction of the sewer.
