One Hundred Citizens Call at

City Engineer Allerton was engaged
yesterday In serving notices on property
owners TO connect their buildings with
the sewers. THE law provides that proper
ty owners shall be notified, and that all
buildings that are not connected with the
sewers thirty days after the notice has
been served, that the connection shall be
made under the direction Of the city en-
ginccr and the expense so incurred shall
be collected from the owner of the prop
erty.
At the meeting OF the city council, held
Wednesday, the sewers constructed by II.
Schmidt were accepted, aud IL is properly
proposed to compel all owners Of prop
erty located within the required distance
to connect with the system Immediately.
The warm weather of the past few days
has made apparent the immediate con-
nection with the sewer Of all buildings
located in the central portion Of the city.
The stencil arising from a number Of
places gives evidence Of the necessity Of
prompt action in the matter. 1t is hoped
that property owners viii comply
promptly and quickly to the request Of

Italian Political Circles Dis
appointed With Blaine's
Reply to the Premier

ROME, April 1G-Marquis di Rudini in
the chamber of deputies today. was ques-
toned regarding Blaine'S answer to the
last inquiry from the Italian premier re-
garding the New Orleans lynching. The
marquis, in the course Of his reply, said
Italy could not admit responsibility in
regard to the acts Of single state Of the
union. The question effected every civ
ilized government. In conclusion the
marquis said he did not fear political dif-
ficulty between Italy and the United
States, but it was matter of regret that
so highly civilized a country as the United
States did not feel its moral duty. The
last remark Of the marquis was greeted
with applause.
In political circles some disappointment
IS expressed with Rlaiue's reply to Mar
quis Rudinis letter, 1t is characterized
