USED FOR STREET S
The Contents of Sewer Built Into Road
g. ways.
Citizens Protcst Against . Cleaning
Operation Now Going on
An Investigation.

I. Complaint has been made to the Com
miss!oneIs of an operation which some
citizens thing Ia dangerous to public
health.
A short time ago the engineer depart
ment, through the sewer division, began
excavating the old Tiber sewer. and hun
dreds of loads Of filth and excren.ent were
taken out and hauled through the streets
Of the city to the east of the James creek
canal opposite the arsenal and dumped
there to bring the new street. which was
being built there, up to grade.
According to the citizen who made the
protest, he had protested before to the
health officer and the engineer depart
ment. and both protests were ignored.
A reporter of The Star visited the spot
where the filth was taken out. 1t is To-
Gated in the Botanical Gardens, quite near
the main gate. The odors Of the sewer
could be distinctly detected.
"A gentleman who said he lived In the
neighborhood told a reporter Of The Star
that he had been driven out of his home
when the hauling was going on. The carts
were open. he said. and the filth saturated
the ne.ghborhood with its doors for several
days. He wondered how it was the health
officer allowed such things to be carried on.
when the hauling Of this filth was certainly
detrimental to the health Of the whole city.
superintendent Smith of the Botanical
Gardens stated that he had witnessed the
hauling. and he thought no better scheme
could be invented for generating and dis
seminating disease. The extent Of the op-
erations should be seen to be appreciated.
The sewer discharges from thousands OF
homes are daily met at this point by the
tide. and these. mixed with mud and sand
have been hauled away.
He thought 1t was not necessary to haul
the filth through the streets. as 1t could be
scowed through the sewer to a point a mile
away.
Superintendent of Sewers McComb was
seen by e reporter Of The Star this after
noon and Intercepted concerning the COM
plant He said that for a week the Dis
trict had been hauling from the Botanical
Gardens sand and gravel that had been
washed into the big sewer
There might have been some filth mixed
with 1t. The contents Of the carts had been
| used for making a street opposite the
arsenal. Heretofore the stuff had been
taken out Of the canal further away. He
did not think it was dangerous to health.
and there was no other means of getting
rid of it.

guardians 10 take the baby, but i'm consid-
Grafton of the fact that she was at work

request was refused.
Judge Miller heard the statement of the

have to make some arrangements for the
care of the child. Should she fail to de
this she may find herself in JAIL.

4 Greater Republican Victory Than
When Greeley Was IA Candidate.
Representative Arsley of Massachusetts

that Mr.. Apsley predicted the tremendous
republican landslide two years ago. and
that his extremely sanguine expectations
were regarded even by ardent republicans
as much overdrawn. When election day
passed, however. it was found that Mr.
Apsley had predicted nearly every feature
OF the great republican victory and that
his estimates were all verified by the
facts.
Naturally. Mr.. Apsley is much sought
after by those who would consult political
prophet He Is the proprietor of a factory
that employs thousands of men and has
just returned from the west where he has
been In touch with the people and has talk
ed with Mckinley.
1T Is too early" said Mr. ApsIey to a
Btar reporter to-day. Ito make predictions
as there is nothing definite yet on which
to base them. We are now in the midst
OF sea OF enthusiasm in various quarters
and everything Is unsettled. But 1 have
talked enough with the people of the west
and know the minds of the men in nv own
factory we'll enough to say how the people
VIII act on our next election day. 1 be-
neVe the republicans will have a greater
victory than they had when Horace Gree
ley was nominated. What the laboring
man wants Is an opportunity to earn a dol
