sewers in different parts of the city.
They were accompanied by Superin-

knows the resting places of the DIFF

project the committee has before 1t
is that of Patrick Sugrue of Tracy
avenue. Mr. Sugrue owns a big
block in that street and is greatly
in need of the sewer, but the trou-

distance from the nearest sewer con-

this season and keep at 1t from year

charged--It Is Denied.

It was rumored this afternoon that
Thomas Slgerson Of Baldwin
street, night Waterman at the city
yards, had been discharged last ev-
ening by e. G. Kilduff. superintend-
ent Of the street department. M
Kilduff denied this afternoon that
he had discharged Sigerson and at
first pretended to know nothing
about the case. Complaints have
been coming in about the doings at
the city yard during the night and
were aired last evening at the meet
ing of the board of works told else
where in the paper.
us it true that Mr. Sigerson wa'
discharged last evening" was asked
of the superintendent this afternoon.
II did not hear anything about 1t, /"
he replied.
WAS any of your employees let go
last evening"" was the next question.
None that I know of" he stated.

EVENING""
Il do not know; I have not sech
him to-day"
WAS anything said to him last
evening which would cause him to
remain away this EVENING""
He said there was not. Still he
could not say whether the man
would be on hand this evening.
There is rumor around that you
discharged him last night
THAT is not So" replied the SUI
perintendent, after long pause.
1t was said on the streets this af-
ternoon that Sigerson had been
bounced, but the conversation with
Mr. Kilduff would make it seem 9TH

NO COURT MARTIAL
Charles Kelley Had Hearing Be-
fore Lieut. Col McCabe.

A hearing Oh the case of Charles
Kelley. private in Company A, for
failing to attend drills, was held in
the armory last evening. The hearing
was to see whether Kelley would
be court martialed. 1t was held be-
fore Lieutenant Colonel McCabe OF
New Haven in the center room. It
seems that Kelley, who has been
member of Company A for about two
ana one-half years, has for long
time been missing drills. For every
weekly drill he missed 1t would cost
illm one dollar, and when he was alb
sent from battalion drill 1t would
cost 50. 1t is said that he made the
remark that he preferred to pay the
dollar rather than drill once week.
consequently charges were preferred
against him by Captain Carter. The
nearing was held last evening after
the battalion drill It is not known
what excuse Kelley gave to the court
OF inquiry, but at any rate, he was let
80 and will be given another chance.
so it is said.
IL the charges had been sustained
the officer at the hearing last even
ing would recommend a court mar
tlal, which would be Il conviction in
itself. The members of the company
said to-day that Private Kelley had
Deen very leniently dealt with and
that he was fortunate to get off. They
claimed that many of the company
had been much more harshly dealt
with for less reason Kelley, 1t is
said, was up once before for the same
offense. II there had been court
martial the private could have been
hned $50, been dismissed from the SER
vice or received dishonorable dis
charge in case he had been found gull
ty.
The monthly battalion drill ut the
armory last evening was in charge OF
Major Tilson of New Haven.
