A POINT OVERLOOKED BY THE COMMISSION.

The only really important objection to the report of the Passaic Sewerage
Commission, as presented at thu conference lastn night was the fact that the
large interceptng W of our city. which as an outlet in the bay M a flow
OF approximately 100000 gallons daily, is not, provided for in the commissions
plan, although he section drained by the w is included in the district as
s@sed for the cost. 1t will cost $4,000 to connect the intercepting W with
the trunk ewer system and the development Of the bay ont for mme will
make it necessaryt to do 10. IS the city is assessed for Ill its sewage drainage
it is certainly entitled to have the connection of the intercephng W with
he trunk sewer included in the phn of construction, which would still leave
he city to va onehalf Of the additional cost This involves a charge in the
COMMISSIONS reports and it need not necesstate much delay

odRHss GUINNESS OFFICIALLY DEAD.

1t is officially decided at Laporte, Indiana, that Mrs Guinness, the female
ogress is dead, having been burned with her children in her den of murder
The conclusion is doubtless correct 1t is also decided that he fire that burned
the house was incendtr5 which is a theory. Ray Lamphere. the helper of
the osress will be indicted as the incendtry and as a confederate in the mur
ders perpetrated, and here can be little doubt Of his guilt That Mrs Guinness
had a confederate is beyond question All that buhhery could not have been
done by m lone woman, incarnate fend as she vas and all that butchery could
not have been erpetrated without the knowledge of Lamphere. AS he dug. the
grave Of h poor wretches caught in the Guinness murder tap, so he ought
to be mad to dig his own.
