NEW CASTLE, Aug. 24-A copious rain
fell last evening and was much
welcomed by all. For two hours during
its fall the members of City Council held
an adjourned meeting The much
talked Of question of dog catcher came
up and there being no opposition, Mich
ael Bishop was appointed and now can
write his name with a tail Of n. @. ID. @.
Several owners Of dogs are laboring
under false impression. IL is the law
and the law will be enforced that every
dog not registered before the first day Of
September can be caught, kept in the
pound twenty-four hours and II not
redeem by the owner will be killed
Some people try to make light Of the city
laws but In this instance the law will be
enforced.
The drinking water Of the city has
been contaminated by the jail sewer and
by its caving-in, danger to the public
travel is experienced as, to look at the
street, it looks all safe; but drive over
then and-''in you 60" So City Council,
last night took action on this and con
demned the sewer as a nuisance and
detrimental to the health and public
safety OF the esidents Of New Castle
and ordered the clerk to notify the Levy
Court TO have a new sewer constructed
Immediately. Council certainly de
serves great credit for its acti m ia this
much-needed affair. City Council reads

question has been agitated by 10.

in ten or fifteen years this road might
get into the hands Of others than the
friends Of New Castle Council ordered

tornev of the electric rail way. Mr.
Cooper SAID that individually he was
