Only Fourteen Votes Were Rolled On the Appropriation of q Sewer On
 South Washington Street-A Small
 Audience at the Opera House-Alton
 Fowler Arrested for Theft-Funeral
 of Henri Phren.
 There seemed to be very little interest manif sted in the voting on the appropria- tion of $350 for the sewer on South Wash ington street. The polls were opened at 9 o'clock, and when they were closed at 8 o'clock there were fourteen votes in the box, all of which were in favor of the sp- propriation. Warden Newton, Clerk Hale, and Burgesses Porter and Thomson were the only members of the board of bureesses present, and the meeting was adjourned for one week. The owners on Lee avenue who petitioned for the closing of Lee street appeared before the committee of the board, Warden Newton and Burgess Porter, and 1t was evident that although they were desirous of having the street closed and annexing the 1ei feet to their property, yet they were not willing to pay any benefits for the same. The committee will report the state of affairs at the next meeting.
 There was small audience present at the opera house last evening owing to the storm. The entertainment will be repeat ed on Thursday evening and 1t is hoped that the weather will be more favorable.
