 The pardoned prisoners were Wesley Rogers of Crenshaw County, Ben M. Carmack of Morgan County, Anthony Lattimer of Bullock County, Will Ras- berry of Chiffon County and Frank Jones of Chambers County.

MDDtie, July s.
 Recently the Board of NPublic Works had erected by contract an immense storm sewer, intended to carry of all sur face water and that from mouse connec- dons within the area from Jackson Street east to the river from Church to St. Louis Streets. The sewer has been com pleted. but some of the connections have not been made.
 About o'clock yesterday afternoon rain began falling and the figuresl of the Uni ted States Weather Bureau show that in one hour there was a rainfall of 1.59 inches. the rain continuing until about o'clock, but not as heavy asf during the first hour. Owing to this excessive rain fall there was considerable flooding of the streets in the lower busiriess district, especially in tho 1GdXefnrAlaht Street dis trict. There was great incorvenience to pedestrians and vehicles
 This is the first heavy rain since the opening of the Government Street sewer and. although the water did not lay on the ground long after the storm the ser vice performed by the'seweTs was not up to expectations
 Chief Engineer J. N. Hazlehust of the Board of Public Works this morning said that while the large catch basins along the west line of Jackson Street were open the smaller basins through the district west of Conception Street were not all in service nor were any house connection or service pipes connecting the down town spouts coupled in this section. It was also said that many basins that were in service were badly ehoked by trash and as this section has not been turned over to the street department. there were no street cleaning forces ready to remove these Instructions.
 Lower Government Street especially, said MT. Hazlehurst, and particularly on the north side from Water to Commerce Street. was flooded and this was due to the fact that the curbing along that side is set considerably higher than the side i walks and with no drainage a deep pond formed The only remedy for this Is the raising Of the sidewalks along that block The engineer. in answer to a query as to the auxiliary pumping station located l at the foot of St. Francis Street. and why 1t was not in operation said that 1t had never been accepted, it not having come up to its rated and guaran- teed capacity at the time of the test The contractor now has mechanics employed in making certain changes which will bring h up to it's requirements
 Mr. Hazelhurst said that this work be. {, ing of great magnitude. naturally required much time and. until the connections are all made and the auxiliary pump is nut in operation there is bound to be incon- venieDce similar to that of yesterday du- ring excessive rainfalls.
 The Board of Public Works met this afternoon to pass on the estimates of work performed by the contractors in paving district No. 2.
