PRINT Frs ADJOURN.
Six Days Session of the L. T. U: Comes
to an End.

ST. Louis, Aug. 13.-At the sixth and
last days session of the international
Typographical union the considera ton
of the report of the committee on laws
was resumed. Favorable action was
taken by the convention on the proPo-
sition providing a standard of measure
ment for linotype matrices, and esSovid-
ing that provisional members may use
the union label.
The convention sustained the decfs-
ion of the executive council which up
held the action of a New Orleans fore
man in discharging a certain printer
on the grounds of alleged incompetent
cy. The delegates who opposed the de-
cisfon asserted that the printer in
question had been discharged by the
foreman because of person feeling.
After the adoption of unanimous
vote of thanks to the officers of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition COM
pany for their courtesy and to the press
for the impartial manner in which the
proceedings of the convention were
handled, the convention adjourned sine
die to meet in Toronto, Canada. in the
second week of August, 1905.

to pay more than SAT, and those of less
value will probably get off for $50 or
$35 apiece.
One of the heavy items of expense
in connection with the construction of
the Fifth ward sewer has been. the
long brick main of large diameter which
it was necessary to build. This brick
main will be nearly feet in diameter
for distance of about a mile. 1t costs
a great deal of money to construct a
sewer of such large diameter. Consfd-
ering the character of the construction
work, it is not surprising that the sewer
is an expensive one.
The Fifth ward sewer district is not
a large one. Only about 80 blocks are
included. The total length of the sewer
and laterals, however, is about five
miles. So much sewer in such small
area is one of the things which adds to
the expense.
over four miles of vitrif1ed pipe will
be required to build the Fifth ward
sewer. The pipe varies from to "a
inches in diameter. with a possibility
that pipe will be used instead of brick
for the 81, 80 and Sc inch sewers. The
amount of pipe of the various sizes
which will be required are as follows:

A COSTLY BRICK MAIN

Indications are that the Fifth ward
sewer will cost good deal more than
people have expected it would cost An
be imposed to defray the expense, which
will bring the total cost up to $50, 900 or
over. People living in the sewer dis
trict have gone under the impression
that the cost would be only $35 or $40
a lot.
The cause of the Unexpectedly heavy
cost of the sewer is the large amount
of rock work which was encountered.
Whole blocks of the excavation for the
pipes will have to be blasted out of the
s1ying rock, and this is expensive work.
The cost of the rock excavation will be
at least IS, COO.
City Engineer McCabe has up to this
time refused to make any estimate on
the cost sof the sewer, though he has
been working on the calculations snr
some time. He says he can not give
cut any official report for probably a
labor necessary toacheck over all the
figures which have been made
Il will have the report ready for the
council on August 22'' said Mr. Nc
Cabe today. Until that time nothing
official can be said about the COST
Mr.. McCabe gave out to certain coun-
however, an unofficial estimate
quoted by them to outside parties who
were interested. According to these re-
ports, the cost of the sewer will
vary but a few cents from SAT.
This does not mean that every lot in
the district will pay S47. but that will be
the average cost The lots which are
at a high valuation will have

BURNED BY GASOLINE.
Miss Nina King Victim of Another
Stove Accident.

Miss Nina King. daughter of John
King of 1924 Buchanan street, was
quite seriously burned in a gasoline
stove fire at 6:35 o'clock Friday at 1924
Buchanan street
Miss King had been preparing sup
per on a gasoline stove, and the wind
blew out the flame. The gasoline con-
tinued to run, and when Miss King lit
a match to start the stove, the whole
room, being filled with the gas, burst
into flame. Miss Kings hands, which
were close to the stove, suffered most
severely, but the injuries, while ex-
ceedingly painful, are not dangerous.
The fire department was called out to
extinguish the fire. The kitchen was
scorched, but the damage
did not amount to over SIS.
