forbade Ambrose to enter the house.

for him to go to the cellar and hide, and
he did so. The angry husband pur-

RESOLUTION SIGNED.
Mayor Hendrick Affixes His signature to
the Sewer Document.

the Sewer Document.
The resolution providing for the ex-
tension OF the main sewer has been
signed by Mayor Hendrick. The reso-
luton provides for the extension ac-
cording to the plans on file at the
office Of City Engineer Frick. This res
olution has caused a great deal OF dis
cussion and debate in the councils,
and the extension had to be made. as
1t Is at present a great nuisance, and
the odor arising from it unhealthy and
unpleasant. The Delaware and Hud-
son want money for the right of way.
and this stopped any work for the
present. Mayor Hendrick has seen
Land Agent Weston. but what the re-
suit was he has not yet given out.
But as he has signed the resolution
1t would seem that the Delaware ana
Hudson will be lenient in the affair
and that no exhorbitant sum be asked.
The matter may be put before the d.
rectors of the road, and the result Is
looked forward to with great interest.
