MAJ. ARMS PROTESTS.
Asks Commissioners 90 Hasten Work
ON the sewers.


Mai. George A. Arms. Of Fairfield. has
addressed to Commissioner Maefarland
the following letter with regard 10 the
delay in the construction OF a sewer on
Albemarle street
Nearly two months have passed since
the $4,000 TO start a sewer on Albermarie
street has been available. and no apparent
action has been commenced on the work.
Can you give any reasonable excuse for
the delay? Many complaints have come
to me from not only property owners
living in Tennaliytown. but from others
who pass over Grant road on ac-
count Of the Objectionable conditions OF
TIE CUTTERS there being no cessDOOls or
any proper place TO dispose OF the sew
age.
IF your board OF health would give
little more attention 20 such important
matters instead Of trying to interfere
with drinking-water wells and pumps, II
would be of more interest to the welfare
of the citizens OF the District, and bring
more credit to you by showing them
all matters are not intrusted entirely to
incompetent subordinates.
by prompt action the sewer could
have been completed by October 1. from
Grant road, and given no further cause
for complaint by any one"

Mapleton, July 10.-The Mapleto1
gas plant was almost totally destroyed
early this morning by an explosion and
a fire that followed, and consumers are
left without the service.
The explosion occurred about !
O'clock a. m, from a cause as yet uE-
known. 1t is presumed that a leakage
in the tanks or pipes leading thereto
caused an accumulation of gas that
came in contact with burning jet.
The exploding gas set fire to the build
ings, which were badly wrecked. and
the machinery was greatly damaged by
the fire that followed.
Employees of the plant were not in
the building at the time and there
fore escaped injury. Adjoining prop
erty was only slightly damaged, altho a
number of window lights were broken.
The loss to the gas company will reach
$4,000.
The plant is owned by local capital
lists, and will be rebuilt. 1t was In
stalled four years ago by a Chicago
concern, and was supposed to have
been constructed on safe plans.

CROPS LOOKING BETTER
Good Weather Last Few Weeks Has
Helped Things Near Spencer.

Special to Times Republican.
Spencer, July 10.-The corn and
small grain thruout this section has
been rather. backward all spring. but
the favorable weather of the past two
or three weeks has now brought the
crops UP to the ordinary. Early plant
ed corn has made wonderful strides
the past few days, and is already be-
ginning to show signs of tasseling out,
while the prospect Of potatoes and
vegetables never was better. Scarcely
any haying has been done as yet, but
the meadows present an excellent ap-
pearance, and the present outlook is
that hay is going to be plentiful.
Fruit, on the other hand, is very
poor, especially plums, which are al
most a total failure, while apples and
other fruits will also fall short of the
ordinary.

stolen from Mr.. Bill, five miles
south of town, OH the evening of the
Fourth has not yet been found, nor
