IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT
Work Will be Commenced on
the Sewers To-day.

The board of public works will COM
mence work this morning on one of the
most important improvements, from a
sanitary point of view, that has been
done in long time. There is now at
the arch at the Randolph street, two
discharging sewers.
Work will be begun to-day to extend
those sewers to the lower end of Camp
bell street and Railroad avenue and
couple them with the outfall of the
sewer on Railroad avenue. They will
also extend the outfall sewer fro m
where it now emptieS into Lick run to
Tinker creek.
The object is to take all of the sewage
out OF streams within the corporate linn
its Of the city. The board will also run
line of sewer across the flats in the
rear of the Machine Works to connect
with the sewer which now discharges
near the gas plant; this will also have
branch to connect the Wells street
sewer. 1t is the intention of the board
to stop all sewage from being discharged
in the run and convey it outside of the
city limits.
On upper Lick run 200 feet of an arch
have been built which is extended with
stone walls and board cover north to
Fifth avenue, to make the north ap-
proach to the Randolph street bridge.
These improvements will be rapidly
pushed forward and will probably be
completed within the next thirty days.
The Importance of these improvements
to the city can scarcely be overesti-
mated.

A bad Board Walk.

There is much complaint among citi-
zens residing in the northwestern part
OF the city about the board walk on
Gilmer street, between jefferson and
Park. The planks are loose and some
have been removed. Several ladies and
children have been thrown TO the walk
and injured by loose boards. Two or
three men, with hammer and a few
pounds OF nails each, can make the nee.
essary repairs in few hours.

As has been mentioned in the INTEL
LIGENcEn Mrs. Gross, of Cincinnati, a
friend of Wilhelm Maier's, came here
some time ago and interested herself in
the case OF the condemned wife MUIR
derer, who had been sentenced to be
hung on August 8. AS was explained
in this paper, Maier had no money, and
to apply to tho Supreme Court OF APP
peala for a Q trial and push the case
through, filing the record, ETC., as the
law requires, would cost about Sl6O or
$40. It looked as II his lawyers' claim
that be was entitled to a new trial
could never BIO tested gu account OF
their clients poverty.
There are many people who conscien.
tiously believe that Maier is insane and
ought not to be hanged for his crime,
while there are others who believe he
should die, but do not consider i right
nor humane to hang him until every
source Is exhausted on his behalf, just
as 1t would be II he had plenty of money.
| These two feelings combined to crown
with success Mrs. Gross's efforts TO
raise q fund to take his 8 to the
court OF last resort.
She and other friends whom she sue
ceeded in interesting in the case have
raised almost enough money to pay all
the probable expenses, and 1t Is under
stood that members OF the Beethoven
singing society, to which Major be-
longed, have guaranteed to make up
any deficit which may remain after all
the money has been collected that
can be.
A transcript of tho evidence is now
being made by St%enographer Matthews,
to DO filed with the clerks record OF the
trial, and as soon as this record is COM
pleted an application will be made to
one Of the Judges OF the supreme court
OF appeals Tor a writ OF error aud super
sedcas. Tho writ will in all human
probability be issued and the execution
stayed, as the matter cannot be passed
upon by the court till some time after
the day fixed for hanging Maier, us the
court does not have another session
until September.
MI. Atkinson, of Maier's counsel, ex-
pressed himself last night as very con-
hdent that a stay Of execution would be
secured. 1t is freely predicted by others
that if Maier secures another trial, the
verdict will not be hanging, although
just what this prediction is based on
does not appear. :.
Arrangements have been made, il
Maier does die on the scafold, to have
his brain examined by an expert in
mental disorders and diseases OF the
brain. This is to be done merely in the
interest OF science, and for the bearing
it may have on the future punishment
| OF crime.

A BOY D HURT.
A Little Fellow struck In tho Face and his
Nose Broken.

&Sap UNIV
Yesterday afternoon Fred Hornick,
aged nineteen, and a small boy named
George Humphrey, aged eight, had a
difficulty of some kind, and Hornick
struck the little fellow IN awful blow
in the face. Tho boys nose was broken
and mangled in a way that will disfig-
ure him for life. It was mashed clear
over upon his cheek.
officer Ritz arrested Hornick and he
spent the night the lookup. Dr.. Aeh-
book was summoned to attend the
boys injury. He said last evening that
George was seriously hurt, and would
not be able to appear in the police
court this morning. Hornick's ofense
is sufficient to make a state case, any
how, and he will probably be taken be-
fore q ~iustice in tho morning and sent
to Jail until his victim can appear to
testify against him.
