THE SEWAGE QUESTION.

The meeting at the Commercial As
sociation last night to listen 20 the dis
cussion of the sewage question was one
ono of the largest attended and most
attentive Of the series. Mr.. Went
worth's paper was an able exposition of
the subject, but, like all others that
have been presented, was lacking in
detail. The people of Roanoke have
been anxiously awaiting the solution of
certain exact problems.
They want to know the area OF the
several drainage basins, the acreage
which may be cut off from the Trout
run and Lick run basins by intercept
tors or different lines of drainage, tho
rainfall which may be calculated for
each volume of water to be handled in
the various drains, the speed of it's flow
and other details of elevation and angles
of fall. All these are matters which,
when solved, become comprehensive
to men of fair understanding even
though lacking in technical training.
There is never danger of furnishing the
public with too much information.
One thing, however, was brought out
very clearly by Mr.. Wentworth, and
that was the entire advisability OF
lowering the beds of Lick run and Trout
run before the interceptor should be
built. If the interceptor is ever to be
built it seems plain that the best judg
ment brought to bear upon the subject
is to the effect that it's building may
well be delayed without materially in
creasing the future cost to the city.
AS to the plan for building the intor-
ceptor which was presented by Council
man Huff on Monday night, there is not
a banker in Roanoke who would not
protest against such method of hand
ling city bonds; there is not an engineer
in good standing in Roanoke who would
not state with the utmost positiveness
that the plans and specifications on file
in the engineers office fail to cover a
score Of contingencies which should be
carefully calculated and allowed for in
advance; there is not lawyer of repu
tation in Roanoke who would not con
denim the legality of authorizing such
work on such an offer.

DIED CONTRARY LIKE.

And tho Doctors Found That They Had
Wasted Much Skill for Nothing.
ut takes 4 good deal to kill n man,
docs it rot?" asked n New York Herald
reporter, talking of clcctrocution and
the tremendous force required to make
that delicate yet tenacious machinery
stop suddenly like q clock held by the
hands.
Sometimes it docs" replied the doc
tor. And then, again, it seems as if
they die abominably easy.
II remember case we had in the
Harlem hospital not long ago. A man
had fired three bullets into his nbdo-
men with intent of suicide. Nasty
wounds they were, too. But DIR. Blank
located the bullets and got them out,
and then sewcd up the intestines in
several places, making splendid Job
of it.
For several days the man did finely,
and just about the time you would have
said he was out of danger he up and
died, but from what reason the deuce
only knows, for in the autopsy we
found all his organs healthy, and us for
the wounds they were almost entirely
healed. There was no inflammation
about the stitches, save in one place,
and that was so small and Slight that it
was scarcely worth mentioning,
And that is the way with man. Ii
You want him to die for his own sake
and everybody clsc's, he will hang on
and on, tenacious as a turtle. On the
other hand, he will often go off rs if u
breath had blown him into eternity"

Special to the Gazette
CHARLESTON, s. c.. July 4-Everything

state President J. W. Stokes.
Alliance No. 1l3 of Orangeburg county,
where President Stokes resides, yesterday
passed the following resolutions:
Whereas, Governor Tillman has placed
himself on record As opposed TO the sub

the state in opposition thereto; and
Whereas. he has IN al interview fur
nished an unfriendly newspaper, pretended
TO express the sentiments OF the majority OF
the rank and file of the order in the state
as being against the sub-treasury; there
fore, be it
Resolved, that we view with suspicion
the motives, and question the fidelity 10 the
order of any man, be he the governor of
the state. who would furnish for publica-
ton such an interview.
Resolved, that in our opinion it is not
true that the majority of the rank and file
of the order in the state are opposed 10 any
of the demands Of the Alliance despite what
Governor Tillman may say to the contrary
Resolved, that we still have an abiding
faith in the wisdom of Polk, Livingston.
Macune, and other leaders, who formulated
these demands, and do now renew our
pledge to support them, as passed and
adopted at Ocala until better ones can be
found
Resolved, that B. r. Tillman is the

WELLS DRY UP.
A Number of Artesian Wells in the City
of New Orleans stop
Flowing.


Special to the Gazette.
New ORLEANS, La, July 3.-The artesian
wells of this city are rapidly going dry.
Yesterday the Howard well III Lafayette
square, the first constructed here. and
which has been steadily flowing for six
years, suddenly ceased and has not since
resumed. Three other artesian wells III
the vicinity have followed suit. while Il
dozen others, among them the largest in the
city, have been materially reducing their
output. and threaten to cease flowing alto
gether at an early day. The distress seems
to be general, and indicates that for some
reason or other the artesian well water sup
ply has been exhausted or disappeared.
The wells are sunk from so 10 1000
feet and have, in all instances heretofore,
furnished an abundant supply of water
which has been largely used Tor drinking
and manufacturing purposes. Some sixty
nave been sunk here, and they have been
so thoroughly successful as 10 create the
hope that New Orleans would be able in
this way to correct its very defective water
supply. The city council decided some
weeks ago to sink a number of public arte-
sian wells in the rear of the city hail for the
benefit of the people oethat section, anG the
sanitary association was sinking a number
IN front for the purpose of eSta blIshlng pub
lie baths and TO flush and wash the streets
and cutters. while d number Of others were
10 be sunk for factories. etc. The sudden
drying up of the wells here will probably
prevent any more being constructed for the
present. No reason can be assigned for the
exhaustion Of tine water. Lately some of
the owners OF the wells have adopted new
system Of attaching pumps TO them by
which the flow from them Is greatly in
creased and this may have exhausted the
strata OF water so suddenly.

special TO the Gazette.
WAsnIS5rcH. July 3.-The AZ per cent
bonds are TO be continued 4. : per cent. anu
TO be redeemable at the pleasure OF the
government This was the decision finally
reached at the meeting to-day, in accord
ance with the prediction made III these dis
patches. The voice of Secretary Foster
was decisive in favor of u rate of , per
per cent, and against any dangerous expert
ments at lower rate. The secretary
urged that it was Of supreme Importance 10
make the new loan u success, and that as
the rate of = per cent was lower than any
former loan made by the government, the
political credit of making II would be as
great as though it We're made at 4 small
fraction less. The secretary felt that
lower rate might result III the presentation
OF good many of the bonds for redemp-
ton under the call of June p, and that the
banks would not purchase them as basis
for increased circulation.
Ii is believed At the treasury department
that with the rate at per cent some SD
QO0,000 will be added 10 the national bank
circulation when II is most needed to move
the crops next autumn, and that the new
bonds. if they may be called such, will
bring slight premium, which will prevent
any of them being presented for rcdemp-
ton. Many of those held in trust will
douh tess be continued at the new rate
without being thrown upon the market or
bought up 10 increase circulation, and
many others, it is believed, will be pur-
chased BY the banks and deposited here as
a guarantee for new bank notes.
The matter was left 10 the judgment of
Secretary Foster ~ the cabinet meeting on
Tuesday as announced at that time. He
has always been disposed TO favor the ? per
cent rate as the safest, and he announced AZ
the meeting to-day that he had not changed
his opinion He gave such good reasons TOR
it that the president aud other members of
the cabinet accepted his views, and unani-
mously decided the rate should be what he
suggested. The language of the notice 10
holders of bonds had already been framed
and some copies We're printed as soon Is the
cabinet meeting was over. y copy of the
notice will he mailed 10 each holder of reg
istered bonds and blank forms of request
with blank resolutions for the use Of officers
of institutions will be forwarded.

The exhibits are good, and among them
every variety of fruit The magnificent ex-
hibits of fruit here, would convince any
