Complete sewer Contract.

Newport News, Va, March 1.-THE
United States transport Thomas. better
known as the Minnewaska, sailed this
afternoon at O'clock for Havana.
The Thomas came out of the dry dock
yesterday afternoon after receiving re-
pairs to her bottom and upper works
and proceeded to No. coal pier. There
she took on a cargo of coal sufficient to
last her for some days.
The Thomas, it will be remembered
dragged her anchor during the north
wester of last Tuesday morning and
fouled several schooners off the ship
yard, besides damaging one of the yard
piers. She sustained some damage to
her hull and was sent into the dry dock
to have the necessary repair work done.
1t Is understood that the Thomas will
assist in the work of transporting from
Havana to this country the regiments
of volunteer infantry which are to be
mustered out shortly.
FOUND DRAYTON'S SHACKLES.
Mr.. Simon Curtis. the treasurer OF the
county, yesterday found the shackles

where Drayton is but it is believed
that he is still hiding somewhere on

THE SEWER CONTRACTS.
The Delaware Trust, Safe Deposit
and Title Insurance Company, of Chess
ter, Pa, has taken charge OF the work
on the $4,000 sewer system. and the
city is relieved OF the greatest burden
that has rested on it's shoulders since
the Incorporation three years ago.
1t is very probable that Mr.. Howard
will retain Mr.. Mcintosh as supervis-
ing engineer and all OF the men now en-
gagged on the system. He will send
away for several new foremen in or
der that the work can be rushed to
completion. The Chester company has
100 days in which to finish the system.
