Derby. Feb. 9.-AIrs Frank Godson ne So1,th NorwaIk made herself very cannfortable, indeed, while she single handed defeated the miniuns or soulless corporation in a. battle in the open Saturday. Mrs Godson is woman of determination and quick ac- lion. Worlsmen of the Conneeficu Railway and Lighting company, dug hole for trolley wirv pole in the center of the lawn beIore her pretty cottage. Mrs Godson nad made up her mind that no pole or Wlre was to disigure her property. 50 as soon as the workmen nau uug the hole she jumped into It.
 The weather was cold, so sympA. thetic and admiring neigf1bors placed oil stoves around the hole. The stoves rudfly glow lent comfort and courage +n Mrs Godson. while the corpora ton
 workmen shiveped outside the circle of friends who surrounded her. Mrs Godson wrapped herself in blankets and whiled away the time by nun ming aHold the Fort and reading ..The Pitt Her daughter brought her luncheon and dinner. and Mrs Gou. son proved that the fresh air han| sharpened her appetite. She held anI impromptu reception, for many cI-1 rio,ls people visited her. {.
 Superintendent Wainwright arrivedl during the afternoon and offered Mrs Godson a liberal check for the prlv ilege of placing the pole where It lsl most needed to prevent dangerous| gan in the trolley feed wire. flgura lively Mrs Godson put the superinten-| dent in a hole by retorting that shel would not mar her lawn for money.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
High School May be Called After Hin.
 ot Sherman Crosby.

The board of education have taken
 steps to give the High school name. Al last nights special meeting of the
 board Commissioner Chapman ex-
 pressed surprise why 1t was not nam-
 ed after some deceased Waterburia,1
 long ago. He said he would like to gee 1t called after the late superinteud
 ent, Minot Sherman Crosby. Hethonallt
 the Crosby grammar could he re-
 christened and MT Crosby's name giv- en to the High school. Such a step
 would be more appropriate in honor
 ing such popular school teacher as
 MT Crosby was than to have his name
 connected with an inferior school.
 Commissioners NcDonald agreed
 with Commissioner Chapman and sug-
 gested waiting until the full board is
 present
 Commissioners Phelan favofed q sim
 liar homer for Miss Croft teacher
 in the High school. He said that it is
 a distinction to have studied under
 her that anyone should be proud of. She is loved and respected by every
 one who has the good fortune to be 2 member of her class, and he was sure that naming of school for her would be pleasure to every one in
 the city who know her for what she is. But he would not name the Cros- by grammar school after her That ] was an old barracks that was not worth naming for anybody
 Commissioner Pheian suggested that the new school on the present Elm street school site should be nam l ed for Miss Croft. After other mem bers had expressed themselves ths matter went over to the next meet ing.
 1 It seems that at last the city and MT Glanzburg, agent for the Aetna
 Engineering company are through. ] This concern has claim against the city for work done in the Walsh school Mayor Kilduf claimed that l instead of the city owing the Aetna, the latter owed the city, and on that basis he would never agree to the city paving the bill of some S1SOO. Bur. however, Mir GlanZburg was paid 1 S1 900. and when the present board l was organized, he renewed the claim for the balance. Correspondence on ] the matter passed between the board and the city attorney. The latters I opinion was that if the work has been satisfactorily done it ought to be palu for. The committee seemed to mus 1 the work was satisfactorily done.
 An application from Miss Catherine Bishop, a graduate of the Wliiimah- l tic Normal school was filed. l City Engineer Cairns then presehteu
 nlans for improving the santarlon oi l the Crosby school and they were ap
 nroved This constituted the work OF 1 tbe board last evening.

leans. she has never had sewers. The drainage
Of the city has been entirely above ground, in
open cutters. Broad canals intersect the city
at intervals. ana the liquid Of the cutters finds
its way 10 these canals. and eventually to Lake
POntchartrain On the north. In a few OF the
finest residence streets these canals are covered
Elsewhere they are open or covered only with
natural accumulation Of green slime The gut
ters are all open, and into them empty the
kitchen, bath, laundry and other liquid house
hold wastes. The city being level, this waste
stands until flushed along by rains or from
hydraBts. New-orleans cutters do not run:
they scarcely walk.
On the american" side OF Canal-st- the
housewife simply ignores the existence Of the
cutters. In the densely populated French
side, madame is accustomed to regard her gut

tine Madame IL she is poor or, IL she is rich,

sewer, water and drainage systems completed,

for twenty-fOur hours from the Dome. while IN

MINUTES TOO LONG.

The Board met at p. m. yesterday
but it was twenty minutes TO five before
the reading of the minutes had been
concluded. j. F. Brown said the re-
port of the previous meeting was un-
doubtedly most accurate. but it was
altogether too volumlnous and took up
too upech valuable time in its reading.
The Board generally agreed with Mr..
Brown and hereafter only a skeleton
report of the previous meeting will be-
had.
