TO COMPEL ITS DRAINAGE.
MusRrove Creek Arouses the Citizens
Sanitary Association.

MusRrove Creek ArOu5es the Citizens
Sanitary Association.
The Citizens Sanitary Association is
worked up about the failure 10 drain Mus
grove creek watershed because of the dis
pute between the city council and the county
commissioners on the subject, and is taking
about taking legal steps to compel the au-
thorities 10 drain the swamp. A meeting
OF the association was held last night, at
which the following resolutions by DR.. Num-
were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, There is to the southwest of the
city large area Of swamp, which is a portion
OF the watershed of Musgrove creek, which has
been surveyed by the chief engineer of the
typographical survey Of Chatham county for
the county commissioners. and also by the city
surveyor, each coming to a different conclusion
as to the best method Of draining said swamp;
and
proposed to the city council to have these tech
meal differences settled by reference to an i'm
partial and competent expert, to the end that
the drainage of said swamp might proceed, and
salo proposed arbitration has been rejected by
the municipal authorities; and
WHEREAS, The continuance of said swamp is
deleterlous to the public health and dangerous
to the lives of the citizens; therefore
Resolved, That the delay of the drainage of
SAID swamp and the maintenance of such q
menace to the public health upon mere tech
nicality is unwise, unsanitary and Teprehensible.
Re30Ived, That the executive council OF the
Citizens Sanitary Association protests against
the continuance Of said swamp into another
heated term, or In further delay in the drainage
of the same.
Resolved, That the attorney of the Citizens
Sanitary Association be requested to adopt such
measures, legal or otherwise, as to him may
seem best, TO insure the drainage of said swamp
at the earliest practicable time. and if possible
before the next heated term.

NEWS OF THE COURTS.

Items Of Interest From the Superior
and City Courts.
The case OF Andrew Demery (colored),
charged with forgery. was tried in the
superior court yesterday. He is alleged to
have forged the name Of another colored
man to note. The testimony in the case
was very conflicting, and il gave the jury a
knotty question to decide. The Jury retired
at IL O'Clock and was still In when court
adjourned at 6 o'clock. No decision was
reached at midnight, and the result will
probably be nlistrial.
The following convictions were made:
Warren Smith, burglary, three years
Laura Cuthbert, assault with intent to
murder twelve months. and Thomas Young,
burglary, twelve months.
H. Fl. Lang, @ subject Of the Emperor Of
Germany, was made citizen.

murderer's trail for several days,
but Wolf travelled too fast for him.
The citizens of Weston and farmers
living near that place are now on the
lookout for Wolf, and if he puts in
an appearance again he will prob
ably be captured. The reward re.
Gently offered has had the effect of
waking up the people in that section,
and many who would not otherwise
risk being shot, are now on the
alert In order to secure the money.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 1S.-A furi-
Gus snow storm prevailed in Kansas
and Missouri yesterday afternoon.
The principal damage done was to
telegraph companies. The storm
began with a heavy rain, which
turned to wet heavy snow early in
the morning. 1t covered the wires
with heavy burden, and then be
gan to freeze. Soon heavy vino
sprang up, and, increasing to a gale,
carried down wires as If they had
been threads, taking poles witt
them. All communication by wire
east and west of Kansas City is en-
tirely cut off, since 10 o'clock this
morning until this evening. The
snow reached depth varying from
one to three inches In different parts
of the two states.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. IS.-The heavy
storm throughout Missouri and por-
tious of Southwestern Nebraska and
Southwestern Iowa will greatly ben
eft the winter wheat. Reports re
ceived at various railroad offices are
that the fall Of snow was as good as
heavy rainfall, and has saved the
winter wheat.

Father Corrigan Suspended.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Nov. 49,
Father Corrigan, of st. Mary's
Catholic church, Hoboken, has de-
MED that he had been suspended by
Bishop Wigger. He said there was
no probability that he would be
suspended. He had no quarrel
with the bishop, nor the bishop
with him. All the trouble that eX-
listed was made by the German
priests of Newark. If they had
dragged the bishop into the mud
die, that was their fault. AS to the
public schools of the United States,
he, as well asall Catholic authorities
consider them the best schools in
the country. What Catholics
wanted parochial schools for was
to inject early religious training into
Catholic children. After they had
acquired that, their was no object
ion to their attending public schools.
Father Corrigan was particularly
severe upon the priests who invited
Corrigan to speak at
their conference, and then adopted
exactly opposite to the
archbishop's expressed views.
