the deficiency for the year ended June 80,
1898. was s. Ia. III. instead Of 81. $50. 42s ~
estimated by Wanamaker. Instead of a
surplus there will be a deficiency of $73s. 900
for the current year. 1t is estimated that
the governments revenue for the year end

suggests that postal notes be abolished

duced. The requirements of the railway

WORLD OF SPORT

Frank L. Donahue will pitch his first
full game of ball to-day in New York
against the Washing tons. This is the
heaviest hitting team in the league, but
Frank feels confident of holding them
down, as some weeks ago they only re-
ceived three hits off him in as many in
nings.
When O'Rourke was released by the
New York management President Tai
colt was in Europe. On his return he
denounced the act and a New York
writer says that that one act of Manager
Powers was the one that lost the latter
a chance to continue with the club.
The fielding of the different league
teams has been remarkable and there is
no place in any nine for any back num-
bers or would-be players.
The Chicago team comes pretty near
hailing from the four quarters of the
United States. Kittredge is from Buck
port, Maine, DUNCAN from San Diego
Texas, Parrot from Portland, Oregon,
and LHnge from San Francisco. This
covers pretty near all the extremes OF
this country.
The wGAef the Washington, Chicago
and st. LoH26 clubs, W hich have been
considered as secondFaters in the league
is another evidence tn. the previous
years averages are not an infallible test
of teams strength. 1t looks as though
there were several dark horses In the
league race.

SEWAGE DISPOSAL.
Tho Question Discussed Before the Board
of Trade BY Colonel Burpee and Others.

Tho Question Discussed Before the Board
of Trade BY Colonel Burpee and Others.
City Attorney Burpee explained what
is meant by the proposed trunk sewer,
before the members of the board of
trade last evening. He said that EnRI-
neer Herring, when here last year, said
that in the long run it would prove best
to build a trunk sewer from Torrington
to tide water, and he gave 81 500, 900 as
the outside cost of the scheme.
"The committee on public health, y
said Colonel Burpee, "last Friday de-
cided to report substantially what
asked. They agree to draw up bill
providing for an investigation by the
state board of health and appropriating
So, 900 for the expense of such investiga-
ton. OF the expense incurred Water
bury is to pay half. We shall ulti-
mately have to pay half the expense of
whatever system is decided on, as we
have half the population Of the valley
and half the financial interests are
here"
The colonel then spoke Of Naugatuck's
desire to combine with Waterbury in
pective trouble over the disposal of its
sewage. He said that in case a trunk
sewer was decided on it might not be
necessary to carry it further than a
mile below Derby. Such a sewer would
take care of the sewage Of 100, 900 PEG.
pie. By carrying, it two miles further
the sewage from $50, 600 people could be
safely carried away. The population OF
the valley at the last census was 10000.
He declared that there was not q place
near Waterbury where filtration plant
could be set up and If it were placed at
distance a trunk sewer would have to
be carried there anyhow. The cost OF
maintaining artificial beds would be
enormous, he said, and would cost in
the end more than the money expended
for q trunk sewer.
In the discussion that followed Fl. l..
Wade and Judge Cowell thought the
filtration system OF sewage disposal @
makeshift and breeder of disease.
Thomas Kelly thought that as there was
enough water in the river to dispose OF
the sewage nine months of the year, il
would be- more economical to build
reservoirs and store water for flushing
tie river during the dry months than to
build a trunk sewer.
An adjournment was taken until to
night.
