SEWER PIPE ON THE GROUND.
Lot Full of 1t for the New House
Drainage.

The house drainage contractors have a
large quantity of pipe on the lot south of
the Upper Rice mill The lot has been
inclosed with board fence, making a yard
two OF three acres in extent, which is rap
idly being filled with pipe of all sizes. The
pipe runs all the way from the small
6-inch size to the big 24-inch pipe.
The pipe is made by the Columbia Fire
Clay Company of Ohio, and the engineers,
who are now engaged in testing it report
that it is as fine a lot of pipe as they have
ever seen. The pipe came down by the
Baltimore steamer and as this means that
it must be handled at Baltimore before
reaching Savannah there was a great deal
of breakage in transit.
A sub-main of S-inch pipe is now being
laid on River street westwardly from Farm

bond, Harrison "a Co.

bOnd, Harrison AZ 90.

Jacob Edwards alleges that he was in
the employ OF Bond, Harrison & Co.. and
was engaged with others in unloading coal
from vessel by means of bucket con-
neoted with certain apparatus, when, by
the caeelessness of other employees, the
bucket of coal was emptied upon
him, seriously injuring his right
arm. causing him great pain and
distress and incapacitatng him from
the use of his arm for q considerable
length of time For this, in the suit filed
by Gsrrard, Meldrim & Newman, he de-
mands $1,000.
In the other suit. filed half an hour
later by Hayward & Hayward. Edwards
asks for only $500 The former suit hav-
