HOUSE DRAINAGE WORK BEGUN
THE EASTERN OUTLET TO EMPTY
AT BILBo CANAL.

Arrangement Made to Run the Main
Sewer Through the Gordon Wharf
Property-DirectOr Gadsden Has
Already Begun Work on East
Broad Street-WOrk to be Pushed
Southwark and to Be Completed
First in the sOuthside Section.
Effort TO BE Made to Complete the
Eastern Section This Winter.
The Special Committee on House Drain
age has arranged with Gen. w. w. Cor
don to run the main sewer for the eastern
outlet of the house drainage system
through his property on the river. The
sewer viii empty into the Bilbo canal
near the mouth of the canal. This will
carry the sewage from the eastern side
of the city to its present outlet and obvi-
ate any question of difference with the
owners of the property on the Lamar
creek canal as to making the outlet at
that point. The arrangements also con-
form to the desire of the committee to
empty the sewage as far from the city
front as is practicable under the present
system.
DhtNNOi bduSbcu VI the pubic WOIkS
department has already made a beginning
on the East Broad street sewer. Work
was resumed where the former contrac-
tors left off last spring, al Taylor street,
and an excavation has been made for
about 200 feet southwark. The force at
present employed is small, and viii be for
some time to come until brick and other
materials needed can be secured. Bids
for furnishing cement were received by
the director Saturday and tests are now
being made by Engineer Chapman.
Director Gadsden, in speaking of the
matter yesterday, said that as soon as ma
terials can be obtained the work will be
pushed as rapidly as possible. The pres
ent intention is to push the main sewer
out East Broad street and on through the
southern section, all of which Is to be
drained by the eastern outlet. The system
will be first completed in the section south
of Anderson street, as that rapidly grow
ing section is now practically without
sewerage facilities. The property owners
there Will thus be given the first opportu-
nifty to connect with the new system.
Under the revised plan, adopted some
time since by the Special Drainage Com
mittee, the bulk of the sewage will be
emptied by the eastern outlet. Work will
be carried on at several points on the
eastern section as soon as materials can
be secured, and connections will be made
with such portions of the system as have
already been laid. With good weather 1t
Is hoped to have the entire eastern section
practically complete by spring.

MESSENGER COINS DISMISSAL.
Bis ONCE Likely to BE Vacated by
Council,

Unless Isaac Cohn, the suspended mes
senger of Council demands a trial by
that body his office is likely to be declar-
ed vacant by that body at it's meeting
Wednesday night. 1t was said yesterday,
however, that Cohn had engaged COUNSEL
and announced his intention of fighting
the matter.
Mayor Myers said that there had been
a number of complaints against Cohn be-
sides the one which led Immediately to his
suspension. II would have suspended
the messenger at once" said Mayor My
ers, but for the fact that 1 was just leav-
ing for New York and did not have time
to investigate the case. His conduct has
been unsatisfactory for some time"
The official notice TO Messenger Cohn of
his suspension stated that it was because
of neglect of duty and wrongfully obtain
ing information of official ma tiers.
There will doubtless be numerous ap-
plicants for the position In case of a va
cancy occurring, as 1t doubtless will. Mr.
John Harrison for a number of years mes
senger of Council, and who was defea ted
for reelection by Coin three years ago,
has announced his intention of applying
for the position. Uncle John" has a
number of friends who would be glad TO
see him back at the exchange but his age
is likely to count against him.

Several young society men of the city
are talking of forming a club. 1t is their
idea TO make it purely social organiza .
ton, having no military. athletic or other
feature attached. Considerable interest
has been displayed in the scheme, and
those who have been talking it over most
seriously believe it will be accomplished.
1t is proposed to lease the Hull home at
the corner of McDonough and Bull

proceeded is not known. but it is stated
that the price determined upon, if il is
decided TO take the house. is 500 a month.
1t would doubtless prove admirable quar-

The talk of a new club has grown out
of the insolvency of the Guards. The
club of the organization has not enjoyed
the popularity recently that it saw three

but few who have taken advantage of its

Preached Last Night.

sour Adversary was the subject of the
sermon at Wesley Monumental Church
last night by the pastor, Rev. Ed. F. Cook.
The sermon was earnest and thoughtful,
and the pastors delivery forceful.
The devil fiji the title roll. The pastor
took that name for him from the SCRIP
lures. and sin throughout his talk was per-
sonified. The congregation was besought
to avoid the wi'es of the deYil and to see
Christ as the only refuge.
