Illinois was called last and the old
vets from that state held most in
teresting reunion Immediately after
the call, during which Hon. Lewis
Hanback, proposed three rousing
cheers and a tiger to the memory Of
John A. Logan, and they were rous-
ers. too.
Friday afternoon was taken up with
interesting addresses by Hon. Lewis
Hanback, and state auditor Tim Nc
Carlhy. Both are speakers of eXtraOr-
binary ability and the large pavilion
was not nearly large enough to hold
those who desired TO hear them.
There were also selections by Miss
Bertha Gill, the band and glee clubs
and short speeches by other members
of the G. A. II.
The campfire Friday evening was
also most interesting one, speeches
being made by w. Ii. Wilson OF Col
umbus, Gov. Humphrey, Hon. WIN.
Higgins, Hon. Tim Mccarthy and
Hon. Lewis Hanback,, the latter TAX
ing occasion to say that this was the
most enjoyable reunion he had ever
attended in all his life. He said the
location, the wild woods, the small
tents set as they used 10 be when the
soldiers cahpcd ut point for u few
DAYS, and the universal enthusiasm
and interest displayed by the many
old soldiers present took him back
nearer to the well remembered scenes
of real army life than anything he
had ever witnessed. All the gentle
men from Topeka were astOnished at
the large number of old soldiers pres
ent and their apparent happiness
and cOntentment. Miss Bertha
Gill also gave fine recitation.
The meeting was very largely attend
ed aud again il was demonstrated
that the pavilion used is entirely too
small TO accommodate even one-half
the people who desire TO hear at every
opportunity possible such orators as
were present al this reunion.
Just before the close OF the meeting
Col. Weldy stated that on account OF
the rainy, cold weather the supply Of
wood had been entirely exhausted
even TO that intended for use in pre-
pairing for the grand barbecue to-day,
and as the management had not heen
successful in procuring sufficient
wood TO cook the animals in readiness
il had been decided impracticable 10
have the barbecue as advertised. In
lieu Of Il, however, ho stalled that 1t 1t
were so desired the animals would be
slaughtered and the meat dealt out 10

An ANCIENT SEWER.
Causes Lots Of Trouble in East Wheeling
and in the Health Committee.


The Council Committee on Health was
called 20 meet last evening at the request
OF Health Oftcer Garrison. who laid before
the body a communication calling atten-
tion TO sewer, constructed by the city
fOrty-seyen years ago under the admins
tratiOn of Street Commissioner Amick, the
conduit commencing at point near the
northwest corner Of the Fourth ward school
house, and extending in a sOuthwesterly di-
rectiOn, through what was then marsh
ground, TO a pond situated at point near
the present site of the tack factory. where
IL emptied into a pond or into Wheeling
creek. At that time there were no streets
or alleys projected in that part Of the city
This sewer strikes Eighteenth street at a
point about half a square east of Eof
street, then turned at right angles and ran
north through private lots about sixty
feet, and then bent around 10 the
west again and ran out on EoI
street, about forty feet north Of the north
line of Eighteenth street Mr. Wagner is
erecting an addition TO his house The
Health Officer pointed out that 10 do this
he must close up one end Of the old sewer,
which would cndanccr the health Of the
whole community, as the gases produced
by the decomposition of its contents would
surely find their way through the porous
soil whlch Is found IN that locality, into
the cellars of the houses along its line.
while to lower the sewer and run il under
Mr. Wagoner's cellar, would cndanger the
health and lives of his family.
When the committee met last night. the
City Solicitor, the City Engineer, Hon. l..
r. Stifel and delegation of citizens were
present, and the whole matter was gone
over most thoroughly. II was finally
agreed to recommend 10 Council that the
existing sewer on Eighteenth street be
lowered about five feet, or 50 much as
would enable the property owners on the
north side Of Eighteenth street, east Of
EoG. TO drain into il, and that the old-time
sewer be closed up.
