ONERCfTAIGING OF SEWERS
In the majority OF Instances the destruction
which followed the outbreak was due 10 the
overcharging ~ the sewers, but the harm done
by the flow OF water directly was felt along the

where the break happened. All the streets on
the east OF Madson-ave. slope gradually ana
down these streets the water surged in torrents
making deep lakes IN a jiffy and flooding d.
rectly the cellars and easements This was
notably the case in Forty-eighth- 81. east of the
avenue into which a great river made It's way.
There are three houses in that block-No. Il,

Der of the engine that just whistled
over the river" said Conductor ST An
derson to the Journal man as the en-
CINE of Jewett's train whistled over in

porter had left his fifty at home and
SO he did not bet, but when the en-
gine's front came in sight it Shove
the number ito be AZ. just what ST said
1T was. 81 has a reputation on the
system of being able to tell the whistle
or bell of any engine that he has heard
one or more times. Many railroad men
can tell the bell or whistle of the en-
CINE that pulls their own particular
train and may be able to tell the
whistles and bells of a few others, but
81 can tell from the sound of the bell
or whistle the number of the engine il
he has not seen it or a year, providing,
of course, that the whistle or bell has
not been changed in that time. He had
not seen old AZ for several months, but
he recognized the whistle the moment
he heard it. He had no knowledge that
the engine that usually hauls Jewett' S
train was not on the train that morn

The Second Maine Cavalry.

Alderman F. d. Lunt announces that
the next reunion of the gallant Second
Maine Cavalry Regimental Association
will be held in this city, Sept Is, and that
headquarters have been secured at the
Elmwood Nearly 100 of the veterans of
that the city of Waterville give the old
boys a warm reception. The regiment
served an enlistment OF three years. be-
ing mustered into the service in 1853 "for
the war They are coming from Cali
fornia and Oregon to attend this reunion
and among them will be Comrade Wilson,
a California millionaire who has been de-
partment commander of the California G.
A. H., and Gen. Squirting, formerly of Or
land, now of Elgin, ILL.,. the first lieuten-
ant colonel of the regiment. Col. Spur
mig commanded brigade of cavalry dur
ing the PENSACOLA campaign and was bre-
vetted brigadier general for gallantry
during thatH,ampaign. He was considered
one Of the ablest cavalry commanders of
the Union army during the war. Henry
u. Moore of Philadelphia, the present
president of the association, will also be
present. The surviving members of the
OLD regiment have considerable claim
upon the hospitality of the city of Water
vile, Just the same as they have of every
Otner town or city in the old Pine Tree
state. The regiment was made up mostly
OF veterans. many of whom had been
mine months men, and had not got en-
ough OF the service and would not have
got enough of 1t had the war not closed
when it did. Messrs Lunt Williams and
Chadwick are the only members of the
regiment residing in this city. The COM
rades will be accompanied by their ladies'
and We know that the ladies of the w =
Heath Relief Corps will look after them
In the usual acceptable manner.

The negro's laugh Is as distinct from
the laugh Of all other races OF people az
y the color Of his skim" remarked J. n.
kenneth Of Atlanta. Ca. THE best me-
IN initiating the African laugh. The me-
gr0's cachination Is full and round and
hearty. II Isn't admitted grudgingly. like
the Germans. or shriekingiy, like the
Ainerican's. 1t comes out with explosive
spontanelty. and ceases gradually: not
suddenly. like the Irlshman's. 1t Is long
a,awn out and unctuOus. Probably the
white man could initiate 1t, II he had the
peculiar timbre Of voice which the negro
Possesses. and which gives the black man
sucn melody In song. 1t IL q curious fact
tnat. however little negro blood may be
IN person. Its presence is proclaimed to
the trained ear by the laugh.
some time ago Georgia court had be-
i . u couple charged with miscegena-
well known that there was no question
OF her being full-blooded white. But her
husband had drifted into the community
from nobody knew where. There was
Just the faintest suggestion of kink In
MS hair, but his skin was as white as any
mans. The community regarded him
with suspicion from the first, and when
he eloped with a white girl her family
filed against them q charge Of misce-
genation. The couple were overhauled
and brought back for trial on a grand
jury indictment. The proceeding was bold
and dangerous. l admit. but It turned
out all right.
No trace of the mans history or
parentage could be obtained He claimed
to have come to Georgia from Louisville.
Ky. This proved to be true, and al
Louisville he passed for white man.
But nothing could be learned OF his ante
cedents. How. then, do you think that
the wronged girls family established the
faint OF negro blood in him? At the trial
they put upon the witness stand 20 of the
most honorable and conservative men in
the country. who swOre they knew the
culprit was a negro by his laugh. This
was unusual testimony, but 1t satisfied
the jury all right. and he was given two
years in the penitentiary. When he ar
was part negro."-St. Louis Republic,

Will Have Some Big Guns.

At the meeting of the visiting vet
Grams at G. A. II. hall, Friday evening.
Comrade Emery, noticing the reluc.-
ance of the members of the local post
to respond to invitations to speak. said:
1T may strike our visitors very forci-
bly, that we have no big guns" in our
Post, but l want to assure them tina;
we are going to have. for we have ap-
Piled to the national government for
four of the five-ton guns that were in
the Kearsarge when she sank the
Alabama, and they are going to be
mounted at Monument park. Then We
will have the guns that can speak,
although they may not be called upon
to do So"
Comrade Downing of Dover, stated
that when the guns arrived in this
city, if they were the guns of the Kear-
sarge, he would present to the Post a
valuable relic of the old gunboat. that
at one time belonged to the Kearsarge
Veteran Association.

A Fitting Tribute to a Man.

Some time since, the board of education
voted to recommend that the new school
house on Myrtle street be called "Tho
Myrtle Street School," and that a tablet
be inserted in the front wall of the build
ing, bearing that inscription. 1t now APP
pears that one member of the board
wanted the school to be named for the
late Il. W. I<imball of the board. This
matter having been brought to the at
tentiOn of those who worked hard for the
building. and such believing that the
building should be named for Mr.. Kim
ball, they are about to take steps to have
the change in the tablet made so that ii
will read THE II. w. kimball School
Alderman Lunt. who is a member of
the building committee. is in favor of
the change and says that 1t should have
been done before the tablet was placed in
the building. Mr.. kimball will be remem-
bered by all citizens as a conscientious
worker in school matters. and he was a
hard worker as well. The duties that de-
vOlved upon him as member of the
board We're next to his heart and nothing
that would be of the slightest benefit to
the schools was left undone by him.
