A PUBLIC MEETING
To Discuss MIR. Hering's inter-
ceptor.

Mr.. John Sheehan. chairman of tho
sewer committee, has called meeting
Oh that committee for Monday after
noon ut 4 o'clock, in the court room.
ne meeting will be public one, and
any persons having objections to the
interceptor plan will be given hear
ing Ills committee is composed of
Messrs. Sheehan, Coo and Huff.
Upon the recommendation of the
sewer committee tho Council decided
sonio tlne ago to construct Hering's in
terceptor, and bids for the building of
part OIL this work will be opened at the
neAt meeting of the Council. so much
Objection has been raised to this eynen.
sive piece of work that the committee
has decided to have public discussion
of tho matter.
Inc hrst and greatest objection to tho
lnterceptor is its expense The finances
OF the city are in no shape for the
spending of $4,000 for work that will
drain only small part of tho resi-.
dence portion of the city. Then the
fall will not DO us satisfactory for a
sewer as could be obtained by utilizing
the natural drainage. If the inter-
ceptor is built tho sewage will be
emptled into Roanoke river inside the
city and where it will be liable to in
iure the health OF citizens.
Tho Buena Vista Company has
already petitioned the Council not to
build this intcrceptor and have filed
their reasons with tho clerk
ms company asserts that manu-
featuring concerns with which they
nave negotiated claim that this sewer
VIII render the water of the river unfit
tor use. The river runs q mile through
the property Of the Buena Vista Com
pany below where the proposed sewer is
to empty 1t is practically certain that
II the Council persists in building this
lnterceptor the city will be involved in
litigation that will retard the work and
increase the expense. Should the CITY
be compelled to have tho sewerage
emptied into the river below, where the
adjacent ground is available for build
ing purposes, again tho cost would he
greatly increased.
Even ii this sewer is built the natural
drainage cannot be neglected. 1t is by
this means at last that the business
portion must be relieved SURVEYS
have demonstrated tho fact that moro
fall can be secured along Trout run and
Lick run than by Hering's interceptor.
SO that leaving out tho question of first
cost and the endless litigation and OK
pense that would surely follow the
building of the latter, tho natural route
Is the most desirable one. Competent
engineers assert that the two streams
mentioned above can be constructed
into sewers amply sufficient to prevent
the flooding of the low section of the
city in the heaviest storm, and to pre-
vent this is the main purpose of the
Herring inteTceptor.

TO ENLARGE THE TABERNAcLE
For tho Accomm odation of the Growing
Congregation.

Tor the Accommodation of the Growing
Congregation.
Tho members of the Calvary Baptist
Church have decided to enlarge the
tabernacle. This step has just been
decided upon and found to be
necessary from the fact that tho i'm
mense congregations cannot be seated.
1t has been decided to add fifteen feet
to the rear portion of the tabernacle,
thereby giving a seating capacity of
500 or more.
Work will begin Monday morning
and will be pushed forward to compla-
ton as rapidly as possible. The trus.
tees of the church are live, wide awake
business men.
The great revival which has been
going on for nearly three weeks has
nearly doubled the membership and it
is fully expected that before Mr. AGREE,
the new pastor arrives, it will be more
than double.
1t has been the topic of general con-
versation that such enthusiast among
the Baptist brethren was never seen in
Roanoke before.
The now addition to the tabernacle
Will contain baptistry, to be filled up
with all the latest appliances.

who has been here since Thursday
morning, left yesterday morning fer his

Mr. AGREE will return to Roanoke this
week. accom- panied by his family, and
will preach his first sermon next Sun
day morning at tho tabernacle. Mr..
Acree's family consists of wife and
six children. The Calvary brethren
Will make arrangements to give them a
cordial reception when they arrive.

The chiIian Affair no Ordinary
Street Row.
The Administration Regards the situa-
ton as Serious-Americans Arrested
without Cause.-The CHILEAN Author
ftics Take No Steps to Punish tho Mob
who Assaulted American Sailors.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. e4.-tSpe-
cial]-Secretary Tracy said this morn
ing that further study of the CIPHER
despatch received from Captain Schley,
OF the Baltimore, Thursday, showed
that in addition to the killing Of one
man and tho serious wounding of six
Others, that thirty-fve other American
seamen were arrested and detained by
Gillian authorities at the same time,
and they werc afterwards examined
and dismissed. as there was no proof
that they had been guilty OF any mis-
behavior.
This confirms Capt. Schley's other
statements that the Americans were
unarmed, sober and l-behaved at the
time of the trouble and also indicates
that at least forty men out OF the Balti-
more's contingent of 275 men we're
objects of tho rage of tho CHILEAN mob.
1t also appears now that up to the
date OF Capt. Schley's report the CHILEAN
authorities had taken no steps to arrest
and punish any OF the Chilians RESPONSE
BILE for tho affair.
An official thoroughly familiar with
all tho facts in possession OF the Gov
eminent pointed out this morning that
1T was altogether different in it's ma
terial features from the Italian affair at
New Orleans, the men in one case being
practically citizens OF the United
States while in the other they wore
United States uniforms and were at.
tackled for that reason.
He said it was deliberate insult to
the American flag.
Secretary Tracy saw the President
about the matter to-day. The admins
tration regards tho matter as serious
and us more than simple street row.
