Committee on Streets.

A meeting of the committee on streets
of the City Council was to have been
held last night for the purpose of formu-
lating some practical and satisfactory
method for the prosecution of sewer work.
A quorum of the committee failed to APP
pear, but several members of Council
were present, and an informal discussion
of the subject was held. 1t was deter
mined to report to Council plan which
would remoyeall difficulties or discrepan-
cies in the assessments for sewer tapping
&c. On some streets where railway
tracks have been laid it is necessary to
lay the sewers on one side of the
thoroughfares, which is an advantage to
some housewares and disadvantage to
others living on the same square. The
object of the committee is to so arrange
the cost to all parties as to remove all
dissatisfaction. There is likelihood of
considerable sewer work being prosecuted
in the near future, many persons having
signifed their intention to tap sewers
which have been constructed as well as
those now in process of construction,
while others living on squares where such
convenience do not exist want them ex-
tended to the streets on which they live.

Attempt to Wreck a Train.

On Sunday, night two attempts were
made to wreck No. SO, one of the South
ern Railway yestibuled trains, just
outside the city limits Of Charlotte, n.
C. A switch near the new mill being
erected by the Highland Park Manuiac-
turing Company was the scene chosen
for the work of destruction. The lock
was broken and the switch opened,
after which the light was extinguish-
ed. One Of the north-bound freight
trains, No. -, was running ahead OF
- No. 80, and ran into the open switch.
As soon as the engineer found that he
had left the main track he reversed the
engine and applied the brakes. Owing
to the fact that the train was not running
at a high rate of speed, it was possible
to stop before damage was done. Train
No IS. which escaped the designs OF the
wreckers. arrives here daily at GIG a. m.

Yesterday by Officer Roberts at the in
stance Of Lewis Strange. also colored,
who charge him with abusive language.
The plaintiffs a Knight of ST. Crispin,
ami when the case was calledin the Police

derstand its basis. 1t had been alleged

equally rambling statement in which
Bible reading and funeral figured.

ed to the labyrinth of incoherency from
the litigants, and finally announced that
he would dismiss the Strange" case.

THEY FEAR NOT VEsUvIUs.-Vesu-
vius continues active, and the eruption
has now lasted two weeks. On nights
when there isno moonlight the spectacle
is magnificent, the craters belching
flames and smoke to the height of nearly
4 600 feet. In spite of the legend that
Naples will be destroyed by Vesuvius,
the Neapolitans firmly believe that their
patron saint, San Gennaro, will stop the
flow of lava with a gesture should it adj
vance too near Naples. The stream Of
lava. after flowing 1850 feet in the di-
ection of Ottaiano, has stopped, while
the other stream is still moving, anc
has reached point 2,55O feet toward
Pompeii.
