aldermen that several years had elapsed
since the city had entered into its agree
ment and that the streets had not been
opened, and that unless the streets were
opened in accordance with the agreement
by Jau. j. 1885 we would refuse to make
deed 10 the streets and would withdraw
the original proposition
When asked If the city had not
compiled with IT'S contract in this
matter. Mr., Collins said: THE city
opened Henry and New Houston
streets seven years after the contract
had been entered into and long after the
notice of Withdrawal had been given. Duff
~ and Waidburg streets have not been
opened Up. Bolton. Gwinnett and Anderson
streets We're already open so far as the
city was concerned. Bolton street has not
been put in condition 70 use, and nothing
has been done to Anderson and Gwinrett
streets Only recently We have been given
lights and police protection, and the water
mains laid by the company purchased by
the city. We have never been given fire
protection. The ordinance adopted by
Council IN 1899 changing the plan agreed
upon, by doing away with the lanes and
declaring them unnecessary, was a distinct
violation Of the agreement"

THE CARTER CASE PECULIAR.
No Court-martial Verdict Ever Ar
gued Against by Counsel So Many
Times,



Washington, Aug. 26-Since Attorney
General Grggs made his statement asking
if he should not delay his opinion of the
soundness of the courtmartial decision in
the Garter case until after the return of
Mr. MacVeagh from Europe, on Sept. II,
it has been learned that if the latter IS
heard again it viii be the fourth time that
he has been permitted to argue against
the courtmartial dec.s sion. since Carter was
found gully and sentenced by the court
He first talked two hours to the President
about it; then ne had two briefs before
the Attorney General during the retrial of
the case by that officer
This is not the only interesting fact in
the story of the case. There is no record
of a reference 10 the Attorney General, nor
is there an instance of the detention by a
President of a courlmartial decision for
more than a year. There is no account in
the archives of the war department of the
calling before the Attorney General of any
judge advocate to require him 10 justify
himself for having convicted an officer of
having been a lar and an embezz!er.

SEWAGE MATTERS DISCUSSED.
Engineer Chnpmnn's Report to the
Drainage Committee OF Council.

Engineer Chnumun's REPORT to the
Drainage Committee OF Council.
"A meeting of the drainage committee OF
Council was held yesterday afternoon to
receive the report Of Engineer w. H.
Chapman upon the proposed changes in
the house drainage plans. Mr.. Chapman
submitted estimates as 10 the cost of the
proposed changes, including the changing
of the outlets and emptying the greater
part of the sewage at the mouth OF the
Blbo canal. The report showed that the
changes under consideration would entail
considerable extra cost though the addi-
tional cost is not 50 great as 10 make the
changes pronibtlVe.
Other features and changes in the sew
age work were discussed and Engineer
Chapman was requested TO submit an es-
innate Of a change in the pan to take the
sewage from RoDerGsvile, and the western
section of the CITY generally to the main
sewer on the eastern side, the idea being
to make the amount OF sewage to be
emptied al the West Broad street sewer
as small a 5 possible owing to the heavy
cost of carrying the West Broad street
sewer along River street 10 a junction with
the Randolph street sewer it is likely that
this idea Will be abandoned for the pres
ent.
The Collinsvilie section was also discuss
ed, Mr.. Chapman having been informed
that il was desired to avoid the erection of
a pumping plant in order to dispose of the
sewage of that section. He reported that
pract caily ali Of the sewage of Collins
Vile could be carried to the main eastern
outlet by gravity, the pumping station.
which is a part Of the original plan, having
been designed chiefly to dispose of the
sewage OF the section south of Anderson
