THE EASTERN OUTLET IN.
House Drainage Forces Do n Neat
Piece of Work.

The job of lowering the large outlet pipe
for the eastern outlet of the house drain
age system was successfully completed
yesterday at noon. Preparations for the
work have been In progress for several
days. Alderman Thomas, chairman of the
committee which has the house drainage
work In hand; Supervising Engineer Chap
man and Director of Public Works Gads-
den were all on hand. Director Gadsden
has given his special attention to this
work, as it was considered about the mos
difficult problem OF the house drainage
work.
Several lengths Of 3O-inch pipe, having
total length of fifty5six feet. had been
Jointed together and suspended on spe-
cialiy prepared frame, or bed, which was
lowered together with the pipe to the re-
quired depth. The mouth of the outlet
was lowered to a point twelve feet below
low water mark on the government harbor
line. 1t is calculated that the head Civ
ing the flow by the grade of the pipe will
eject the sewage several feet into the
river.
There is still 225 feet of iron pipe to be
laid to connect with the brick work of
the outlet sewer. This, with about 100
feet of brick sewer, which will be COM
pleted in day or two, will complete the
entire section on Bay street and the Cor
don wharf to connection with the RAN
dolph and East Broad street section.
The East Broad street sewer has been
completed to the Bolton street crossing,
where it meets the large sewer which now
empties into the Bilbo canal 1t will be
necessary to siphon the new sewer under
the old one, and this is very neat piece
Of work, which will require to be done
with considerable care. Beyond Bolton
street the sewer excavation will be com.
paratively light, and the Carson trench
machine will be removed in a day or two
to Davis and CASTOR streets to commence
the excavation across the latter street for
the 1S-inch connecting sewer, which win
drain the middle western section of the
city.
The special Committee on House Drain
age will hold meeting to-day for the
purpose of considering an ordinance req
ulating house connections with the new
system With the present rate of prog.
ress it is anticipated that the eastern sec
ton will be in readiness for house con-
nections by March 1. The work of laying
the lateral drain pipes in the streets and
lanes is progressing rapidly. Special eff
fort will be made to push the work in the
southern section in order that connections
may be made there this spring.

"a MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM"
As Impersonated by Mr. Charles #.
UnderhiII.

Mr.. Charles II. Underhill gave a mon
oIogue presentation of "a Midsummer
Nights Dream" at the Guards Hall last
night under the auspices of the Young
Mems Christian Association. 1t was the
fourth entertainment OF the associations
star course.
Mr.. Underhill presented the pay prac-
tically in its entirety, for though not all
of the dialogue was given, yet the contin-
uity of the plot was kept and no scene
or character was omitted.
When one considers the care and prepa-
ration that often accompany the presen-
tation to the public of only one charac-
ter, and then remember that in this play
Mr.. ITnderhill impersonates not one, but
twenty-six, some idea of the magnitude
of his undertaking can be gained; and
no higher praise can be given than to say
that he did it most artistically and gave
TO each of his numerous characters a dis
tinct personality of its own so individual
and unmistakable that to the audience
Puck, Bottom and Snug; Oberon, Titania
and all the rest OF the merry crew came
and went at the speakers will as though
they were each a separate person in,
stead of the presentments of an individ-
ual.
To the imagination of Inc audience
passed in airy flight the fairy forms on
the various errands and the speaker al
most succeeded in carrying out his au-
thor's definition of the poets function,
Ito give to airy nothing habitation and
a name"
The scene among the rustic actors in
the wood and later when they present the
wonderful and woeful tragedy of Pyramus
and Thisbe in the palace of Theseus. ap-
peaed to the humor of the audience and
the speaker was heartily applauded
The next and last number of the star
course will be a lecture by George Ken
nan, on Russian Political Exiles' This
lecture will be most deliberately illustra ted
with lantern slides, and as KEENAN, who
has been heard here before, is, in Savan>
nah, as wherever he mas lectured, great
favorite, he is sure of large audience.

TOOK VENGEANCE ON HIS GIRL.
BarI<eeper's Way of Venting His
Jealousy.

A barkeeper was hauled up in the Re
corder's Court yesterday morning charged
with beating Lillian Barrette, an inmate
OF No sol Oglethorpe avenue. east, and
also with having set fire to her clothes.
The mans act was caused by drink and
Jealousy. The woman he claims to have
befriended when she was in straits and
naturally expected that she would be more
considerate than to arouse his jealousy by
receiving attentions from another man.
This expectation, it seems. though, was
not well founded, and yesterday morning
between this fierce jealousy and numerous
pota tons with which he had sought to
drown it, he lost control of himself and
gave the woman a beating, after which
he set fire to her wardrobe. This latter
act he explained to the court by saying
that he had paid for the dresses and felt
that he had right to burn them if he
wanted to.
The Mayor disa greed with him and gave
him the choice between paying a fine of
s25 or being locked up for thirty days
