Committee on Sewers.

The committee on sewers of the board
of public works transacted routine bust
ness last night.
It was recommended that a sewer be
laid on Cain street, between East and Wal
lace streets.
A petition for sewer on Mansfield
street, between Compton street and Hill
side Place, was received. Several persons
from the neighborhood appeared in favor
of the proposed improvement. The COM
mittee decided to let the consideration OF
the matter go over till the next meeting,
Friday, Aug. Z.
The committee next took up the pro-
posals of a sewer on Frank street, between
Columbus avenue and West street. About
thirty persons from the vicinity were Civ
en- hearing. The improvement was
strenuously objected to on the ground of
its needlessness, and also because Frank
street would first have to be extended
through to the Boulevard before the pro-
posed sewer could reach trunk sewer in
to which it might empty. After consider
able discussion, which was mainly ad-
verse to the scheme, the petitioners were
given leave to withdraw.
The last business before the committee
was the matter of q catch basin at the cor
ner of Congress avenue and West street.
1t was found that the board of public
works had already provided for the neces-
sity, and the matter was laid aside. The
committee then adjourned at Up. m.

Saratoga Springs.

During the month of August from fif.
teen to twenty thousand visitors are to be
found at Saratoga Springs, it being the
most delightful and Eveliest part of the
season. A large number Of New Haven
people are booked at the various hotels fol
this month. By applying at the agency OF
the Clarendon and Continental hotels, al
Beeas' Photo parlors, 1893 Chapel street,
the very best accommodations can be Sc
Cured in advance at prices lower than can
be obtained after your arrival at Saratoga.
One or two weeks sojourn in the salubri-
GUS climate of Saratoga, with the aid OF
the great health restoring mineral waters, is
far more advantageous and FESTIVE than a
much longer time spent in salt air eli
mates.
The Clarendon hotel has issued neat
pamphlet, uniquely bound, containing an
engraving of the hotel and description of
its various departments and grounds, as
well as much of interest respecting the
many fine drives and walks in and about
Saratoga, the various mineral springs,
some thirty in number, and noted places
of resort, such as Woodlawn park, Sara
toga lake, Congress Spring park, Mount
McGregor, Glenn Mitchell, House of
Pansa, the famous Hathorn springs, etc.,
also the numerous excursions which are
daily made from Saratoga to many promi-
nent points of interest to tourists.
The famous Washington spring is To-
Gated in the Clarendon park and is entire
~ free at all times to the guests of the
hotel; the waters are particularly benefic-
ial to dyspeptics, kidney complaint and
general disability. This pamphlet can be

TO WIDEN WASHINGTON STREET.

-
The Beard of Compensation Consid-
ers Plans for the improvements
Owners Want the City to Rear the
Expense-A Hearing Given to Forty
Persons.
The proposed widening of Washington
street is one of the most important i'm
provements for the west of the city which
have lately come up for consideration.
The thoroughfare, at present narrow and
inconvenient street for all that it is the
scene of 80 much travel and some traffic,
is to be widened ten feet on the north side
and eight feet on the south. The change
has been fully decided upon, the only ques-
ton is as to who is to bear the expense
The owners along the highway are glad te
have the improvement, but feel anxious
that the city should take at least part OF
| the expense.
At the hearing last night the expert, Johr
F. Sloan, appeared for the city and spoke
at length in favor of the change. He was
backed by large number Of taxpayers
| both for Washington street and the side
streets-Cedar, Liberty, Gold and others
Among the prominent citizens who spoke II
favor of the scheme were DR.. Bone, Leonard
| Bassett, Patrick Lynch, James Alling, Ger
| man Gabriel, Simon Rosenberg and jacob
| Mill. The petitioners presented estimates
| furnished by George M. Baldwin, tn
builder, and John L. Treat, the mason
They ask for an appropriation of $25, 500
| Other estimates were as follows: w. 81
Fisher, 1900; Simon Rosenberg, $1,000
| Final actisn on the matter was postponed
till the next meeting of the board. 1t il
believed that the expense will be divided
between the city and the individual resi-
| dents.

simple style peculiar to the Indian) was
embellished after the manner of Cooper

perpetuate the memory of the fine mother
of Quinnitoqueh, the last of the

An Exciting Game of Ball TINS
Afternoon Between the Compost
tors of the ssJournal and COURIER
and the Bluecoats of the HOWARD
Avenue Precinct-A Large Crowd
Expected to be Present.
Without any doubt the most exciting
and hotly-contested ball game of the
season will occur this afternoon on the
Howard avenue grounds, when the COM
positors of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
will meet the policemen connected with
the Howard avenue precinct in fierce
struggle on the diamond for the mastery.
For fear that some readers might suppose
the affair to be of rather tame nature,
practice has been going on on both sides,
and when the mines face each other to-day
it will be "war. to the teeth," and al
though the wearers of the blue pride
themselves upon being better wielders Of
the locust they know full well that it will
the nimble typos, for past experiences
have proven the superiority of
the printers as sprinters, and to-
day grass will not grow under
the feet of the intelligent
compositor after he has sent the ball over
the fence. Everything has been arranged
in case any "peeler" is knocked out, as the
ambulance with its attendants will be
upon the ground to convey the blue coats
to the hospital or the morgue, as the case
may be. Some dissatisfaction is expressed
in regard to the way some of the officers
are preparing to protect themselves and
cage the ball, and perhaps it is proper
right here to state that Officer STREET. will
wear underneath his uniform steel suit
and will have tied upon his hands huge
pillows stuffed with sawdust. And this is
not-all, for upon his arm he will carry 9
basket in order to better aid him in his
arduous duties in right field. The make
up of the team will be as follows:
Policemen-Lawton, p; Doherty, c; Mar
shall, Id; Pabor, Oh; Gibson, 3b; st. Clair
IS; STREET., IF; Cowles, CT; Orr, If.
Compositors c; Hauser, p; l.
Jacobs, 1b; Clark, 2b; Foote. If; ALA
bough, ss; Southworth, 3b; Egan, Of;
A. Jacobs, IF; Bowling and Otterson, ex:
tras
The umpire will probably be Stephen
81. Hiney of the Palladium, and immedi.
ately after the game he will take carriage
for the depot on his way to Saratoga, moi
altogether for vacation, but to escape the
wrath of the players, for he feels full well
his position and acknowledges that it will
be hard matter to satisfy the multi.
tudinous appeals for Judgment that will
issue from the CORY field to-day. All de.
sirous of an afternoon of fun go to the
ball grounds. The game will be called al

Notes Down at Fort Hale Park.

NOte6 DO"n AT FOfL Hale PaFks
Last Sunday not "the woods were full
of them," but on the palisades at Fort
Hale park the ground under the trees was
''full of them,"i. e., ladies, most of them
draped in white with gay colored sashes or
otherwise handsomely dressed, and chill
dren with fair sprinkling also of the
sterner sex. In short, the palisades, look
ing from the roadway leading to the cove
presented very gay and festive appear
ance.
The driveway to the palisades from
Townsend avenue is now open.
It is expected that the entrance at the
Cove to the palisades will be opened after
the other driveways are finished.
Not few people walk down from the
city, many more go in carriages and many
also go in the steamboat to the Cove and
then walk to the palisades and Fort Hale
park, there to enjoy the delightful sea
breeze, some taking their baskets and eat
ing their lunch under the trees.
Two park policemen, one in the United
States government grounds and one in
Fort Hale park grounds, are on hand to
arrest any improper person or anyone
breaking the rules and regulations of the
park, which rules and regulations must be
regarded and enforced.

On the steamer elm city.

It appears that there was little, if any,
danger from fire on the Elm City during
the excursion trip of the steamer on Thurs
day to Fort Lee. The chief engineer, Mr..
Loop, made thorough examination yes
terday morning of that part of the boat
that was said to be on fire, but did not
find any charred wood of any description.
The officers af the boat stated last evening
that during the return trip it was evident
that some small article, piece of paper, or
possibly handkerchief, had been thrown
from one of the stateroom windows to the
boiler hatch. 1t was presumed that a
burning cigar stump or a cigarette had
been thrown on to the article referred to-.
At the time of the occurrence the hose
was laid as matter of caution, but no
water was turned on. At the same
time three boards were removed to
ascertain if there was any fire underneath,
but, as there was none, there was no cause
for alarm. Mr.. Loop stated that no wood
work had been on fire, and probably not
over twenty-five people on the boat
knew of the occurrence.

RoBATZ' BUREAU FALLS THROUGH.
Edward Robatz, the colored solicitor for the
fake reading room "for the moral and intellectu,
al improvement of the colored race" was
brought before the court yesterday on two
charges-begging and collecting money under

prominent citizens of charitable disposition
came up as witnesses and related how they had
been fleeced by Robatz OF various sums large
and small. Alderman McGann was the loser by
80 cents, Rev. Father Bray 81, William A; BECK
Robatz told plausible story to Judge Studley at
the first, but crossexamination soon broke down
his statements. The court was at first in doubt
with regard to its jurisdiction. 1t was decided,
however not to bind the prisoner over to the su-
perior court. He was sentenced to sixty days
months Imprisonment for false representations
